1 Introduction
The content of this website is developed by many brothers and sisters together. Dealing with the Word of God is of central concern for us. The thoughts published in our various articles spring from our common discussions about the Bible.
In accordance with the biblical concept of church, there is no church leader among us but we all share the responsibility for what we believe. What God gives to all of us is written down by several brothers and sisters. That is why you will not find the names of any specific authors in our articles.
Naturally, we do not want to remain anonymous. We created this website with the wish to get in touch with anyone who honestly seeks God.
