The overall purpose of this website is to encourage and edify
the body of Christ through sound biblical teaching. In keeping with
that effort, it is my desire to equip you with resources that
will assist you in your walk with Christ and growth in Christian
maturity. And I want to do that by referring you to several other great
Christian websites. To my knowledge, each of the websites listed below
contain teachings and doctrines that are consistent with fundamental
Christian truth.
Christian Classics Ethereal
Library -- This is a who's
who of the Fathers of the Christian Faith. Here, you will find entire
volumes written by such men as St. Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, John
Calvin, Jonathan Edwards, and Matthew Henry, to name just a few. Many
of the authors are men I have never even heard of before. But all of
the works featured here are public domain. You can literally read
entire books online. Many are also available for download.
CCEL also features
The World Wide
Study Bible, which contains the complete Biblical text in a number
of versions and translations, as well as introductions and commentaries
by various authors.
Monergism.com -- Monergism is
defined as the position that "the grace of God is the only efficient
cause in beginning and effecting conversion." This view is reflected in
the Formula of Concord, which states that "man of himself, or from his
natural powers, cannot contribute anything or help to his conversion,
and that conversion is not only in part, but altogether an operation,
gift and present and work of the Holy Ghost alone, who accomplishes and
effects it by His virtue and power, through the Word, in the
understanding, heart and will of Man." This website is devoted to the
teaching and defense of this truth. It contains articles, commentaries,
systematic theologies, and other resources by great preachers (both
past and present) who have defended and proclaimed the truth that
salvation is entirely of God.
The Spurgeon Archive -- He was
known as "the prince of preachers." On a weekly basis, he preached to
more than 10,000 people from his pulpit at the Metropolatin Tabernacle
in London, England. This website contains his sermons, as well as his
sermon notes. Also featuring links to other Spurgeon resources, this
website is "Everything Spurgeon."
In Touch Ministries -- I believe
Charles Stanley to be one of the greatest preachers of our era. This
websites features his daily devotional, audio streaming of his program,
and other resources from Dr. Stanley. It also features a link to the
Institute for Christian Living, an on-line Bible study course taught by
Dr. Stanley.
The Active Word -- Featuring
the teaching ministry of Rev. Bob Coy of Calvary Chapel, in Ft.
Lauderdale, FL. I have been impressed with Pastor Coy's emphasis on
reaching the lost with the gospel of Jesus Christ. His website is worth
Checking out.
Biblical Training -- From
this website, you can listen to lectures by a number of professors from
leading seminaries in the country. Transcripts of each lecture are
displayed on the screen as you listen. It is just like attending actual
seminary classes. And all for free.
Grace to You Ministries -- John
MacArthur is one of the foremost Bible Scholars today. In the past,
when I had the time and opportunity, I have greatly enjoyed listening
to his radio broadcast. In addition, I own copies of a couple of his
commentaries, which are well-written and are faithful to the Scriptures.
