Does it trouble you that someone can sit in a church pew hearing about the sanctity of marriage while privately enduring abuse at home?
Have you ever struggled to reconcile what you have heard about staying married to an abusive spouse with what you know about the love and compassion of Jesus Christ?
What happens when someone experiencing abuse wants help but is afraid to approach the pastor, doesn’t know whom to trust, or simply doesn’t believe the church is prepared to help?
Have you ever feared that telling someone about your abuse would mean everyone finding out—and making an already dangerous situation worse?
Have you ever feared finally asking for help, only to hear, “I’ll pray for you,” when what you desperately needed was someone prepared to help you?
These are difficult questions, but the Church cannot afford to avoid them.
As part of my graduate ministry internship, I am studying how Christian churches understand and respond to domestic violence and intimate partner abuse. The goal is to use what we learn to develop a practical, biblically grounded program that helps churches become better educated, better prepared, and safer places for people experiencing abuse.
You do not have to be a survivor to participate. If you have experienced abuse, supported someone who has, have experience in the Christian church, or simply care about how the Church responds to domestic violence, your voice matters.
Our previous Facebook post reached nearly 10,000 people and generated more than 360 link clicks—yet only nine people completed the survey.
This time, I need more than a click. I need your voice.
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey. Your answers will directly help shape a program designed to help churches confront the sin of domestic violence and abuse with biblical truth, greater understanding, compassion, and a clear plan for helping people who need it.
Please take the survey. Then please share it with everyone.copy and post this link on your blogs and on your instagram and Facebook pages.

At Believers of Biblical Truth, we are wholly committed to preaching the unfiltered, uncompromised truth of God’s Word. Our ministry, firmly grounded in scripture, relies on the guidance of the Holy Spirit—not the influences of a sinful world. As we present the Bible’s teachings, we do so in the spirit of 2 Timothy 3:16, which reminds us that “all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” Through each message, we seek to present the truth in a way that is faithful to God’s inerrant Word and pleasing in His sight, guided by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, as instructed in John 16:13: “Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth.”
Our sermons are not designed to entertain or tickle ears; they are solemn presentations of God’s direction and commands for our lives. In today’s world, where truth is often distorted to fit human desires, we emphasize reliance on the Holy Spirit and scripture alone. We heed the warnings of Ephesians 6:11-12 to “put on the whole armour of God,” that we may “stand against the wiles of the devil,” choosing to remain steadfastly in the Word, rejecting Satan’s deception, and grounding ourselves in God’s eternal truth.
We believe in using scriptural authority to address life’s toughest issues, with an unwavering dedication to God’s truth. Each sermon is followed by a round-table discussion where our dedicated team addresses questions with the utmost care, ensuring that every answer reflects God’s wisdom. We invite all who are seeking clarity to email us at thebbt2021@gmail.com, where questions are welcomed, encouraged, and answered thoughtfully by our team.
This ministry is a place for growth, correction, and alignment with God’s Word, as we strive to fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) by spreading the gospel boldly. We recognize the Bible’s call not to engage in foolish arguments but rather to focus on edifying one another and upholding the truth. As 2 Timothy 2:23-24 counsels, we are to “avoid foolish and unlearned questions, knowing that they do gender strifes,” and to serve as “the servant of the Lord,” who “must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient.”
The Bible’s truths are absolute, not subject to human desires or interpretations. We stand by the conviction that “truth is not hate,” even if it brings discomfort. Hebrews 4:12 reminds us that “the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword,” and we believe that its power should be wielded in love to draw others to the cross, not as a weapon of condemnation but as an invitation to eternal life in Jesus Christ. In a world often at odds with the gospel, we are compelled to preach the unchangeable truth, recognizing that the only relationship of lasting value is our relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our virtual church is enriched by the insights of great theologians who have profoundly influenced Christian thought, including Calvin, Wesley, Gill, Henry, Luther, Edwards, Ellicott, Spurgeon, Baucham, Grudem, Barnes, Clarke, Benson, MacArthur, Graham, N.T. Wright, Keener, Fee, Bruce, McKnight, deSilva, and Sproul, along with others who have faithfully articulated the gospel. Though we rely on these wise voices, our foundation remains the Bible itself, and we uphold the teachings of those who reinforce its truths.
