NOTE: These are websites that offer tons of material for believers in a variety of areas -or- are otherwise broader in their offering of resources. Due to this fact, it would be an injustice to attempt to categorize them into one of the specific categories. Therefore, I have created this category. These websites will keep you busy for days on end!

Desiring God Ministries - This is the online presence of John Piper, author and pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church. Piper is fast becoming one of my favorite Bible teachers. Piper puts the JOY back into Christianity (and even Calvinism!) with his central maxim: "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him." The resources available here will ignite a passionate fire in your heart for God and His glory. Piper's site includes many online articles and audio sermons as well. MUST SEE x2!

In Christ Alone! Ministries - The ministry of Bernie L. Gillespie, a former United Pentecostal minister (23 years) who now stands solid in the Gospel of Grace. The main focus of this site is the propogation and defense of the glorious Gospel - salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, and in Christ alone. "It is the mission of in Christ Alone! Ministries (ICA!M) to encourage a reawakening of the Gospel or Good News of Jesus Christ in the hearts of all people. Our conviction is that this comes through proclaiming the Word of God. It is through hearing the Gospel that others will trust in Jesus Christ and receive assurance through the proclaimed Word that they are right with God." Online resources include many great articles (including some wonderful testimonies) and a newsletter (free subscription available; current issue online). I use to list this site elsewhere, but the amount of available resources here has grown to such an extent that I decided to move it here. MUST SEE.

Lambert Dolphin's Site - Lambert Dolphin explores areas that few do; some trivial, some major - but all interesting! A physicist, Lambert provides good solid articles on scientific topics. There are also good articles on Bible themes and passages, theological issues, and philosophical concepts. This site has tons of guest articles by others and features one of the most comprehensive link pages I have yet seen. Some of the material here is a bit sensationalistic at times, but there is much more good than bad. MUST SEE.

Edward Fudge Ministries - The author of The Fire That Consumes, a Biblical reconsideration of the final destiny of the lost. Edward's gracEmail newsletters are excellent bits of what I consider "devotionals for thinkers." Edward's attitude is a shining example of Christian charity and, even if you disagree with him, you will find it impossible to be angry. Many of Edward's books and articles are online, as well as all 800 gracEmails. In addition, you will also find some good Bible studies and worship resources. MUST SEE.

Leadership University - I never see this website linked anywhere - and I don't know why. This is one of the most comprehensive Christian sites I have seen! An interdisciplinary approach is taken, all within the context of the Christian worldview. Science, theology, humanities, culture ... you name it, it's all here. The articles are meticulously thorough and written by experts in their fields. Although very comprehensive, this site is also well organized and easy to navigate. MUST SEE.

Grace to You - This is the web presence of the ministry of John MacArthur, pastor of Grace Community Church. There are some good resources here (articles, downloads, an online devotional, Q&A, etc.), and MacArthur is one of the best Bible teachers out there in our day.

Gospel Communications Network - A very large Christian umbrella site featuring tons of resources. The best sites under this umbrella are linked below under appropriate headings.

Xenos Christian Fellowship - An awesome church offering some of the best online helps for believers. Bible studies, articles, and some great charts on Bible topics. Great "back to the basics" help for new & old believers alike.

The Jeremiah Project - This site could have gone into almost any category, but I thought it would be most appropriately placed here. This site is very well-done, with much material covering a wide range of subjects. A Christian worldview is stressed. A pleasure to the eyes and to the mind and heart. NOTE: I do not endorse all of the prophetic speculations of this website.

Audience One Music - The home site of Steve Camp Ministries. Steve is a veteren contemporary Christian musician working for reform in the industry. From the site: "Where the music is ministry: driven by mission, not by ambition; by mandate, not by accolades; by love for the Master, not by the allurements of the world."

The Christian Missions Home Page - Every resource imaginable on missions, missionaries, and being a "world Christian." Interdenominational.

Wycliffe Bible Translators - This is one of the most important ministries there is, taking on the challenge of giving the Scriptures to every people group worldwide - in their own language! On this official site you can learn all about the organization and their work, access world prayer information, download games and a screensaver, view their catalog, and read various articles covering Bible translation history and other related topics.

Child Evangelism Fellowship® - Jesse Overholtzer began this ministry years ago in order to do what very few are doing: truly evangelize children. Inspired by the words of C.H. Spurgeon - "A child of five, if properly instructed, can as truly believe and be regenerated as an adult" - CEF offers ministry and resources to this end.

Christian Witness to Israel - FROM THE SITE: "Christian Witness to Israel is an international, interdenominational evangelistic society dedicated to sharing the Good News of Jesus the Messiah with the Jewish people." Good resources and instruction on witnessing to Jews. NOTE: I do not endorse the wholesale condemnation of so-called "replacement theology."

The Watchword - A resource on revival, making available many writings on prayer and revival topics. Resources include writings from Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, A.W. Tozer, Leonard Ravenhill, David Wilkerson, T. Austin Sparks, and many more. CAUTION: There are some writings here that I would not endorse completely, such as those of Charles Finney. However, the vast majority of resources are excellent.

Music for the Church of God - A great worship and hymn resource, with an emphasis on scriptural song (including psalmody). Available resources include tools to help you sing all 150 Psalms (wow!), and The Scottish Psalter of 1635. NOTE: As a lover of worship styles both old & new, I greatly appreciate the spirit of this organization: "The emphasis is on singing the Psalms and other hymns based on the scriptures, but we have not excluded other expressions of worship. Our prayer is that you will find our contents useful and edifying."

Global Evangelization Movement - Statistical studies providing information on the state of world evangelization and missions work among the unevangelized. Continually updated with the latest information.

Barnabas Ministries - This is a missions outreach of the Charismatic Episcopal Church. FROM THE SITE: "Barnabas Ministries was established in 1980 for the following purpose: 'To encourage renewal in the Church, emphasizing a balance between the Sacraments and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, while enhancing a greater vision of Mission.'"

The Caleb Project - This is the organization that originated Perspectives, a revolutionary course in world missions. The material is packed with vital information on indigenous missions work and Christian interaction within various culture groups.

Bridges International - Dr. David Aikman (TIME magazine's bureau chief in Beijing) said, "I think reaching out to students from the People's Republic of China in (the West) is simply the most strategically important Christian missionary endeavor anywhere in the world." A need was recognized and this ministry stepped up to the challenge - "A Specialized Christian Outreach to Mainland Chinese Intellectuals at Universities in Western Nations."

JAF Ministries - This is the disability outreach of Joni Eareckson Tada, "Accelerating Christian Ministry in the Disability Community." Joni is a shining example of overcoming faith in our Sovereign God that stands in stark contrast to much of the heretical teaching coming from the "health & wealth gospel." Joni has assembled some good resources here (including some of her articles), focusing on ministry to the disabled.

NOTE: In addition to these sites, many of the sites linked in the SOVEREIGN GRACE SITES section contain online works by the Reformers, Puritans, early Baptists, and others.

The American Chesterton Society - "Common Sense for the World's Uncommon Nonsense." G.K. Chesterton was one of the most profound Christian thinkers who ever lived, a brilliant apologist who expressed the faith in his arguments, his writing, and even his poetry ("The Donkey" rocks). Here you will find an introduction to one of C.S. Lewis' heroes of the Faith, biographical information, a bibliography, quotations, links, and an internet crash course on Chesterton. MUST SEE.

Fire & Ice - A large collection of sermons from various Puritans, including Richard Baxter and John Flavel. The Puritans were not the stuffy hypocrites so often talked about. Dare to read their writings and discard the stereotypes. This site is a rich resource for all believers. Discover the Puritans!

The Spurgeon Archive - The largest collection of Spurgeon's writings on the web - by a long stretch. Charles Spurgeon was one of the greatest preachers in all of Church history, and certainly one of the most quoted. Another great internet resource from Phil Johnson. MUST SEE.

William Tyndale Homepage - Resources include historical and biographical information, some of Tyndale's writings (with more coming, I hope), a free quarterly newsletter - Letters From Exile, and information on Jack Caulfield's play Fire for the Ploughman - on the life of Tyndale.

The Newton Library - Converted slave-trader John Newton wrote the most famous hymn of all time - Amazing Grace. In God's wonderful providence, this hymn is today the most often sung hymn in African-American churches. But Newton was also a preacher and writer skilled in the scriptures. Here are many of his writings, and some detailed biographical information. Nice looking site. MUST SEE.

Unity in Diversity - This website is dedicated to the writings of the late W. Carl Ketcherside, a prophetic voice within the Restoration Movement (Church of Christ/Disciples/Christian Church) who fought legalism and sectarianism, preaching the Gospel.

Reformation Ink - A ton of Reformation works are available here: Theodore Beza, James Buchanan, Calvin, John Bradford, Thomas Cranmer, A.A. Hodge, Charles Hodge, Luther, Abraham Kuyper, J. Gresham Machen, Augustus Toplady, Geerhardus Vos, B.B. Warfield, and many others. In addition, many offsite resources are listed as well. Well organized site.

Pilgrim Publications - My friends here in Texas! Pilgrim is the largest publisher of the works of Charles Spurgeon. A literal feast of Charles Spurgeon stuff, as well as articles by Bob Ross, stateside "expert" on Spurgeon. Bob has also been engaging the errors of traditional Campbellism (mainly Churches of Christ) for many years now, both in public debate and in print.

The Shelter - This website is devoted to the late Francis Schaeffer, a brilliant apologist who was way ahead of his time. Includes biographical information, comprehensive information on all of Schaeffer's writings (including summaries and quotes), a free weekly e-mail list, a great selection of thinker's articles dealing with various aspects of Schaeffer's life and thought, a section of photographs, and information on L'abri (the retreat/think-tank founded by Schaeffer). L'abri is French for "the shelter." MUST SEE.

Dave Clark's Home Page - Some great online works by Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Bonar, Packer, Girardeau, Edwards, and others. Those writings posted focus on the theological and practical aspects of Calvinism.

Audio-Bible - Alexander Scourby's classic reading of the King James Version of the Bible, all online and ready to listen to in real-audio (free 72 hours).

The Arthur Custance Library - Custance was truly brilliant. A scientist and lay theologian, his writings probe areas where it was thought that nothing further could be gleaned. Although a proponent of the "gap theory," his writings contain good information for Biblical creationists. Custance was degreed in both anthropology and oriental languages, bringing both of these disciplines to bear in his excellent studies of the scriptures. Online here, The Sovereignty of Grace is easily the best book of this century on Calvinism. Custance is easily one of my top five influences. MUST SEE.

Guide to Christian Literature on the Internet - ICL's mammoth list of online Christian writings. Although some of the sites no longer exist, and apparently this list is not updated anymore, it is still worth visiting due to its massive size -- I have found many a obscure gem through this list! MUST SEE.

Alfred Edersheim Collection - Excellent resource material from a nineteenth century scholar. Includes The Jerusalem Temple and Service, Sketches of Jewish Social Life , and Bible History (Old Testament).

Springs Of Living Water Tape Library - A unique ministry that lends out teaching cassettes (maximum = four at a time) by mail for a period of three weeks; return two tapes and get two more. Some good ones offered include: Malcolm Smith, the Bible on tape (many styles/readings), topical Scripture readings, Jay Adams, Donald Barnhouse, Chuck Colson, Joni Eareckson, Elizabeth Elliot, Keith Green, Os Guinness, Hank Hannagraaf, Kent Hovind, Dave Hunt, D. James Kennedy, C.S. Lewis, Max Lucado, John MacArthur, Walter Martin, Josh McDowell, Henry Morris, Frank Peretti, Leonard Ravenhill, and many children's tapes. DISCLAIMER: This ministry offers many different teachers from many different backgrounds. I do NOT endorse all of these teachers. Mixed in with the above is everyone from Paul Cho to William Branham - so be discerning!

Leonard Ravenhill Site - I cut my spiritual teeth on Leonard's books! I can still remember reading portions of Sodom Had No Bible to a men's prayer group when I was 16 years old. Check out this site, then go find all of his books!

Rich's Home Page of Reformed Theology - A massive amount of online material from Reformed teachers: Boston, Boettner, Charnock, Flavel, Gill, Hodge, Mauro, Owen, Pink, Toplady, Whitefield, etc. Also some works of more recent Reformed teachers like Horton, Sproul, and Woodrow.

Institute of Practical Bible Education - An archive list of links to many online works, including Calvin's commentaries and various Puritan writings.

Into the Wardrobe - A really good C.S. Lewis site that opens with the endorsement of the late author's stepson, Douglas Gresham. Links to various articles & websites dealing with Lewis and his works.

The Grace Online Library - Many works by authors like A.W. Pink, Van Til, Warfield, Ryle, Bunyan, Whitefield, Moody, and also modern authors. Most of the works here are first-rate, and are available in HTML and/or PDF formats. DISCLAIMER: The "tone" of this site is just a bit too "fundamentalist Baptist" for my taste (cessation of the so-called "sign gifts," holding that there is a "Christian Sabbath," etc.), but this only applies to a tiny portion of what is available here; most of it is quite good and should be required reading for modern believers.

The Dorothy Sayers Society - Learn about this friend of C.S. Lewis. She was a mystery novelist, Anglican Christian, and theologian.

Times Square Pulpit - The author of The Cross and the Switchblade is now in New York City pastoring Times Square Church and delivering powerful practical messages for us all. David Wilkerson is a veteran Pentecostal preacher with a passion for holiness and God's glory. David's messages have also appeared in the Free Grace Broadcaster, and his endorsements have been used by Banner of Truth promoting the writings of the Puritans.

Project Wittenberg - An online collection of the writings of Reformer Martin Luther.

Martyn Lloyd Jones Recording Trust - One of the greatest preachers of our century! Online catalog of audio sermons. M.L. Jones impressed me early on when, as a Reformed preacher, he took a stand AGAINST the popular "cessation of the charismata" position. Online material includes some articles and a newsletter.

Calvin's Institutes - John Calvin's classic Institutes of the Christian Religion online. Also links to other Calvin writings (including the great commentaries) and some great articles about Calvin.

John Stott Ministries - Anglican Christian, and prominent evangelical author. Two e-mail lists, the Stott Daily Thought and the Stott Bible Study, are available for free (I subscribe to the latter and it is excellent). You can also read selections from Stott's writings arranged by topic. Good material here.

The Summa Theologica of St. Thomas Aquinas - Aquinas' Summa Theologica remains one of the most comprehensive theological texts available. Aquinas wrote some DEEP stuff - If you find yourself re-reading parts of this, join the club! Using hypothetical questions/responses, Aquinas plumbs the depths of Christian truth in the style of a great philosopher.

NOTE: The websites linked below feature material that is a bit "deeper" in its content. Just don't be fooled by big words! There is good stuff on these sites, but measure everything by God's Word.

Engedi Ministries - Solid Reformed theology and Church history is presented lovingly in understandable presentations. Several tape sets are available, and they will mail you the first tape from any (or all) of their series absolutely free - take advantage of this offer (you won't be sorry). I have heard many of these teaching tapes and they are excellent (very well presented). The website also features a free weekly e-mail devotional (also excellent), an internet forum, and several short Bible studies (both textual and topical).

Hasten the Light - Dale Tooley's insightful site majoring on prophecy issues. This Charismatic ministry promotes the amillennial perspective with fresh, contemporary articles. There are over 45 easy to understand studies, none over ten pages in length.

Fides Quarens Internetum - In other words, the "Christian Theology Page." A unique set of links to theology resources on the web.

Kenosis - This is a great site! Dan Musick, a Wheaton theology graduate, has built up a site focusing on the humility of Christ (Phil'p. 2). This is a very important issue today, as many Christians do not understand Christ's two natures, imagine that Christ could have sinned, or think that Christ was somehow less than God when He became man. Writings from Musick, and many categorized links are woven together to present an excellent defense of the orthodox view over the various heterodox ideas. MUST SEE.

Cedar Park Church Online Resource Library - Featuring the sermons, articles, and books of Pastor Joe Fuiten. Fuiten is an Assembly of God minister steeped in the Church Fathers and Church history. His writings are very thought-provoking from a Pentecostal perspective. He communicates with a gracious and charitable attitude, and digs deep in his research.

The Truth Is - Webmaster Michael John presents an online "philosophy of theology," with a distinct Christological focus. John follows the principles of logical deduction, leading the viewer through the nature of God to the nature of man and finally to the coming of Christ. I don't agree with every detail (e.g., his eschatology), but find his consistent presentation both interesting and fascinating. He has also posted some debate material.

The Thomas Pages - I find the articles here among the most original that I have seen on the web. Some of the ideas are unusual, but very thought-provoking.

In-Depth Studies - The online ministry of Geoff Volker, featuring (literally) tons of articles covering every conceivable theological topic -- "Equipping the believer with a theological foundation." There are also book reviews, an open forum section, and a free e-newsletter. Reformed, with a New Covenant perspective. MUST SEE.

Journal for Christian Theological Research - An excellent theological journal that is online here in its entirity. Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Pentecostal-Charismatic Theological Inquiry Int'l. - Had to abbreviate this one! A ton of online materials concerning Pentecostal/Charismatic theology, including an online journal, newsletter, and massive set of links. This is the internet motherlode for serious Pentecostal/Charismatic research.

The Berean Society International - The ministry of Dr. John C. Shafer. There are some great articles here by Shafer himself, as well as classic writings by the likes of Spurgeon and Tozer. Also some recommended resources. "By God’s grace, we want to begin with GOD, the Creator-Owner-Builder, and attempt to share these truths by way of overview, building our MODEL starting with Genesis 1 'In the beginning God - created the heaven and the earth.' To set forth the great truths of Free and Sovereign Grace in the salvation of sinners in language that seekers might know where to start in their search."

Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals - Here you will find online resources from the likes of Michael Horton and the late Dr. James Boice, as well as a great selection of Reformation quotes from Luther, Calvin, etc. Also, this site houses the online version of Modern Reformation magazine. The ACE is a major organization in the effort to restore Protestant theology to evangelicalism. MUST SEE.

The Internet Bible College - Lots of interesting articles here. They also promote conditional immortality, which I am a firm believer in :) There is also a link to another set of pages (different web address) with more articles.

The Wesley Center for Applied Theology - Good material from a Wesleyan perspective (NOTE: I was Wesleyan before I was Reformed). Includes the journal The Arminian online, which often contains some good articles from a Wesleyan perspective. Many of Wesley's writings, historical information, and the writings of Arminius are online here.

The Easter Page - Done by a Lutheran church, this site is "a cyberspace journey through scripture, art, music, prose and other materials which reflect on the mystery and miracle of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ." Very interesting and easy to navigate.

Keith Drury's Writings - These are GREAT articles with fresh, bold insights - from a Wesleyan perspective. Keith's stuff hits both the theological and the practical - often simultaneously (and that's how it really should be). Keith is a very entertaining and witty writer! MUST SEE.

Mr. D's Notes - This is the site of Stanley L. Derickson, a seasoned minister and prolific author with a passion for missions and Christian education. His "notes" consist of several online and/or downloadable books, the original being "Mr. D's Notes on Theology" -- presenting an online systematic theology outlined by section. Others include "Notes on Missions," "Notes on Regeneration," "Notes on 1 Timothy," and others. His "Notes on Zeal" is especially helpful and is the only serious scriptural study on zeal that I have personally seen anywhere. Very interesting reading!

Henry Neufeld Homepage - An unbiased site with religion links for opposing viewpoints. This is a good place to access BOTH sides of an issue when doing research. NOTE: It should go without saying that I do not endorse all of Neufeld's links per se, but I do endorse his purpose. Christian research should always be unbiased by very definition.

Contend for the Faith - This site contains some of the most thorough theological content I've yet seen on the web. Plenty of articles and links in both theological and apologetic categories. The presentation is meaty, but easy to grasp. Run by Justin Taylor and Matt Perman. MUST SEE.

Model Theology - Robert Brow's website. Interesting. Different. Fresh perspectives. CAUTION: I wouldn't endorse EVERYTHING on this site. Brow is an Arminian and endorses both "wider hope" ideas and elements of process theology.

The Christia Library - This site was a great discovery for me, and has provided hours of contemplative reading. The two outstanding elements here are: (1) the sheer magnitude of the material, and (2) the fact that the material features every conceivable perspective from within Christendom. MUST SEE.

Center for Reformed Theology & Apologetics - A treasure trove of online Reformed books and articles by such men as Bunyan, Machen, Bahnsen, Pink, and other Reformed teachers past and present. Good apologetics materials from both Van Til and Bahnsen.

A Puritan's Mind - This is a nicely designed site, and focuses mainly on information about the Puritans. Reformed theology is explained, Puritan history is examined, and several good articles are available. Two interesting sections cover the call to pastoral ministry and the regulatory principle in Puritan worship. The webmaster, C.M. McMahon, has the text of his book on limited atonement online here. There is a discussion group, posted sermons/writings of the Puritans, and some really cool t-shirts for sale here as well.

The William Farel Society - Who is William Farel? He was one of the lesser known French Reformers who participated in the Calvinist part of the Protestant Reformation. This Australian site is thoroughly Reformed and offers some great online articles, some study links, and several books free to download.

Archegos: the Champion - A good basic site maintained by H. A. DuBose-Schmitt, Jr. (a.k.a., "Andrepar Nome"). Online here are some concise descriptions of various points of the Reformed faith, every major creed from the Apostles' Creed to the present, some short prose inspired by Scripture and experience, and a list of quotations.

His By Grace - Great Calvinist material from a Southern Baptist. Includes online works by the likes of John Gill, John G. Reisinger, and James Boyce. Robbie, the webmaster, also has some great stuff on Reformed distinctives and Southern Baptists. I especially like his "What DID Jesus Do?" page : )

Reign of Grace Media Ministries - The online ministry of Eager Avenue Grace Church (Albany, Georgia), featuring many fine resources: sermons (text & audio), articles, Bible studies, commentaries, an online newsletter, and much more.

Reformed Methodist Homepage - This site is dedicated to seeing Reformation in the United Methodist Church along the lines of Whitefield. Provides news, resources, and links toward that end. Some great online material from Lloyd-Jones and George Whitefield is linked here.

Sound of Grace - Tons of great articles by John G. Reisinger and others. Good resources on justification, sanctification, and assurance - all from the Reformed perspective. Features a John Bunyan e-mail list, and archived sermons from John Piper (NOTE: If you are not familiar with Piper, he is a brilliant expositor of the Scriptures.) Also, be sure to check out the Bible Commentary Project, a work-in-progress by members of the "bibleproject" list group (open to subscribers). The current project is Hebrews, and is a very interesting and original idea. Basically, each verse is commented on separately by members of the list. Good for gaining various perspectives. MUST SEE.

Coram Deo - Literally, "before the face of God." This is a great Reformed resource featuring material on Francis Schaeffer, C.S. Lewis, George Whitefield, and others. Also features a "Steve Camp Page." Camp has long been one of my favorite musicians - his lyrics faithfully express Reformed theology, and the music is contemporary without being worldly.

The Calvinist - This is Peter Pike's website primarily dealing with different aspects of the doctrines of grace. He has several of his articles posted that are well worth reading. Features apologetics, theology, philosophy, and debate material. Pike is a great guy and one of my treasured web acquaintances.

Sovereign Grace Baptist Proclaimer - Lots of good stuff from the webmaster, Arthur Pink, Philip Mauro, John Gill, and others. One of the few sites I've found that features material from Pink and Gill.

Calvin's Castle - Very useful sets of links, and some original onsite articles. DISCLAIMER: In places the webmaster seems to be a bit of an exclusivist with his Calvinism (i.e., non-Calvinist Christians are suspect).

Blessed Hope Ministries - A good Reformed Baptist site. "Setting forth Biblical Christianity in a complex society—SIMPLY." Home to the free online periodical Blessed Hope Monthly - basically a Reformed anthology full of good stuff. Be sure to check out the online Bible studies, which can be participated in through their Evangelical Discussion List. Visit Evangelical Gleanings and Shiloh Library for free books online for you to view and download.

The Calvinist Corner - Very clear and accurate presentation of those doctrines called "Calvinism." One feature here that pleases me is that the validity of the gifts of the spirit is defended. This is a rarity for Calvinists, who have typically promoted the "cessationist" position (unfortunately).

PDI Ministries - I rejoice to see increasing numbers of believers embracing the doctrines of grace, but rejecting the (typically) Reformed position that the "charismata" have somehow "ceased." This reminds us that no tradition of our faith has ALL the truth across the board. Be sure and check out their magazine, Sovereign Grace. Each issue is packed with thorough articles on aspects of God's providence.

Solo Christo - A Reformed site with good online material. Features some original material and a very well organized section of linked offsite articles by topic. My favorite section is the Biblical Prophecy page, with links on the various millennial positions.

Renewing Your Mind - The online home of R.C. Sproul's Ligonier Ministries. Several issues of Sproul's magazine, Table Talk, are also available here online. If you have never read Sproul then you are in for a treat! Sproul treads the same ground as Luther and Calvin, but with contemporary style. MUST SEE.

The Highway - A solid Reformed site with various articles and a "creeds" download. Above all, do NOT visit this site without checking out the online comparison of Calvinism and Arminianism.

The Founders Online - Southern Baptists promoting what many SBC churches have left behind - God's sovereignty in salvation! "Founders Ministries is a ministry of teaching and encouragement that seeks to promote both doctrine and devotion expressed in the Doctrines of Grace and their experiential application to the local church, particularly in the areas of worship and witness." Many great articles and resources online here, including the Founder's Journal. MUST SEE.

NOTE: Some good technical creationist material can also be found at both Lambert Dolphin's site and The Arthur Custance Library, both linked above.

The Biblical Chronologist - The website of Dr. Gerald Aardsma, author and researcher. This site presents some interesting and original solutions to biblical historical questions. Inquiries include the identity of the Exodus pharoah, the age of the earth, the accuracy of radiocarbon dating, and the location of Noah's ark (not the typical theory). Very interesting material. Features include a hardcopy newsletter (free trial subscription) and a discussion group. Nicely designed site.

The Creation-Evolution Encyclopedia - A very detailed resource covering the broad scope of creationist arguments against evolution.

Creationism Connection - Exactly what it claims to be - an organized presentation of creationist resources, combining the webmaster's material with scores of excellent links.

Creationism & the Early Church - Robert Bradshaw has done some much needed research into what the Christian Church from the death of the Apostle John to Augustine of Hippo believed and taught regarding creation. Categorized links are provided for personal research. The online material is fascinating, thorough and presented in a well organized fashion. I love original stuff like this! MUST SEE.

Origins - Affiliated with Leadership University: "This site features scholarly and popular resources concerning intelligent design and philosophical theism." The resources featured here are scholarly presentations concerning evolution, atheism/theism, and intelligent design. Also includes interviews, book reviews, and debates.

Access Research Network - Features many fine resources on origins, including articles by Philip Johnson, Michael Behe, and others. This represents one of the think-tanks of the Intelligent Design Movement, one of the best ways to approach the debate on origins. Other resources include a quotes collection, graphics, and book reviews. MUST SEE.

Institute for Creation Research - The mother of all creationist organizations. Excellent materials from Henry Morris, John Morris, Duane Gish, etc. These guys are bona fide scientists who believe in a literal six-day creation by God roughly 6,000-10,000 years ago.

The Virtual Office of Robert C. Koons - Koons is the Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas in Austin, and an opponent of naturalistic theories of origins. Included here are some of his speeches and articles.

Dr. Robert A. Herrmann - A great Christian website from Dr. Herrmann, who is the professor of mathematics at the United States Naval Academy. The content here tends toward the technical side, but is very worthwhile and informative. Includes Hermann's treatise against Hugh Ross' ideas, though it is a tad extreme in some places (in my opinion).

Center for Scientific Creation - The bulk of this site is a complete online edition of Dr. Walter Brown's excellent book, In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood. This is a very thorough documented book covering every facet of creationism. Also here is a full index for the book, some debate material and "20 Questions for Evolutionists." MUST SEE.

Answers in Genesis - Another veteran group that associates closely with ICR (above). The quarterly journal Creation Ex Nihilo is the best I have seen and features many original articles. Some of the best articles from each issue are on-line. MUST SEE.

Creation Research Society - A very good selection of on-line articles. This organization puts out another excellent journal.

The Genesis Network - The Missouri association for Creation (also known as Gennet), "Networking the Scientific Evidences of Genesis." Many online articles are available under "Get the Facts," and materials (including videos) can be borrowed through the Life Origins Library for a small membership fee.

General Apologetics --- NOTE: These websites contain either 1) apologetics material of a general nature (existence of God, superiority of Christianity, etc.), -or- 2) material dealing with several specific issues and groups. The websites in the other sub-categories below focus primarily on one specific issue/group/teaching.

Christian Research Institute Journal - CRI Journal archives. These articles are excellent and cover almost every deviation from orthodox Christianity, as well as "new" but questionable trends in theology. Included are some articles by the late Walter Martin, the one who took apologetics out of the classroom and into the hands of "joe christian." MUST SEE.

The Christian Research Institute - The largest apologetics ministry, founded by the late Walter Martin and now headed by Hank Hanagraff. Many good resources now online here.

Debate Atheism - This site is a ministry of my internet friend, Peter Pike. "Are you a freethinker? Are you a theist? Are you agnostic? Or are you just confused?! This site exists to help you learn more about why logic and reason point to the existence of God." Features debates, material on atheism and related topics (Bible criticisms, abortion, evolution), suggested reading, and a Q & A section.

Walter Martin's Religious Infonet - Martin's writings and broadcasts live on this website! Good material from the late apologist on mormonism, ministry to cults, various Christian issues, and more. Also includes some great online audio messages from Martin and others.

Meekness & Truth - Greg Meece, who is involved with this ministry, alerted me to this site which features work by Dave Geisler, son of Norman Geisler. This site is special in its focus, to "Bring apologetics back into the mainstream of Christian thought and evangelism." The emphasis is on practical apologetics and dialogue with skeptics.

William Lane Craig Virtual Office - One of the most brilliant apologists of our time. Includes information on Craig and his writings, as well as online debates and articles. Craig's writings focus on demonstrating the arguments for God's existence, and addressing "the historical Jesus" controversy.

Watchman Fellowship - One of the most organized apologetics mega-sites there is. Scores of articles from the Watchman Expositor on various cults, sects, teachers, and teachings. The best feature is their encyclopedia style Index of Cults, updated annually - a very helpful resource.

Does God Exist? - The focus of this site is apologetic in nature, the main feature being John N. Clayton's wonderful journal Does God Exist? Each issue contains articles on various topics of Christian concern, as well as evidence for the existence of God and the inspiration of Scripture. One of my favorite features in the journal is the section entitled "Dandy Designs," which gives detailed information on a couple of designs in creation in each issue - fascinating stuff that points to a Designer.

Point/Counterpoint - Now this is a different approach. An online scholarly journal featuring articles, debates & interviews from many different religious & philosophical perspectives. The webmasters are Christians who believe that an honest quest for truth leads to theism, and specifically to Christianity. A very objective journal. Intellectually stimulating material. MUST SEE.

Truth & Things - This is the website of Carmen C. DiCello, pastor of Word of Life Baptist Church in Pottsville, Pa. There is also more general material here, but most of the articles are apologetics oriented. DiCello has posted some very thought- provoking articles on relevant issues, doing so in both a gentle spirit and a non-threatening tone. Whatever you do, don't leave his site without reading "The Athenian Challenge: Lessons from Acts 17:16-34" - good stuff!

free-gifts.com - Although somewhat limited, this site is good basic apologetics (covers Catholicism, JWs, Nation of Islam, etc.). The descriptions are "to the point." You won't find any 25 page booklets to wade through, which in some cases wastes valuable time. There is a strong emphasis here for those deceived by false doctrine.

Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry - Matthew Slick's meticulously resarched apologetics site. Lots of information: doctrine, counter-cult, etc. One of the best Christian sites out there, especially to be run almost entirely by one person. Check out the " Dictionary of Theology." Features 27 discussion boards (Matt, where do you get the time?). MUST SEE.

Christian Information Ministries - Bill Crouse's ministry based here in Texas. The resources available here are limited, but worth viewing. Includes several concise briefing papers on everything from ecology to B.F. Skinner, as well as book and movie reviews. Bill is very gracious and even-handed when dealing with areas of controversy among believers.

Ravi Zacharias International Ministries - One of the best apologists out there. Ravi & staff produce high quality material "to reach and challenge those who shape the ideas of culture with the credibility of the gospel of Jesus Christ." Online articles and a good archive of real-audio messages. MUST SEE.

Alpha-Omega Ministries - James White's site, featuring much online material on cults, Catholicism, the KJV-only controversy, Calvinism, and the Trinity. White has authored several great books dealing with these subjects, and is a frequent guest on Hank Hanegraaff's Bible Answer Man broadcast.

Reasoning from the Scriptures - This is the website of Dr. Ron Rhodes, currently adjunct professor of theology at Biola University, Southern Evangelical Seminary, and Golden Gate Seminary. Features a number of articles dealing with cults & other apologetics issues. Dr. Rhodes has also posted answers to visitor's questions, and produces a good online newsletter.

The Home Page of Greg & Rose Welty - Greg, a student of Philosophical Theology at Oxford University, provides several articles covering theological, philosophical, and apologetic issues. Very deep stuff, and guaranteed to make you think.

Personal Freedom Outreach - One of my favorite ministries exposing false teaching in the Church. Many articles from their Quarterly Journal are online. Included are refutations of Benny Hinn, Rebecca Brown, extreme charismatic practices, mormonism, etc. NOTE: I do not agree with every criticism presented by this organization (e.g., the critique of the Alpha Course is skewed and unfair).

Stand to Reason - Great apologetics site, featuring the careful research of Gregory Koukl, Steve Wagner, and Scott Klusendorf. Several articles dealing with biblical and social issues are online. The resources dealing with ethical relativism and abortion are especially helpful.

Apologetics Index - An in-depth encyclopedia-style resource on sects/issues/teachers/doctrines, featuring a color-coded system identifying topics/teachers against the background of Christian orthodoxy. The entries are not just the typical brief descriptions, but factor in up-to-the-minute news items as well. A regular "AI Update" is available by e-mail subscription. There are also good articles on Christian living and spiritual renewal. Full index of cult groups and religious movements. This is one of the most useful apologetics sites on the web. MUST SEE.

Probe Ministries - A good apologetics ministry that goes deeper than just the cults and sects themselves to look at the underlying philosophies deceiving many in our modern culture. MUST SEE.

The Berean Call - The official site for Dave Hunt's newsletter. NOTE: I am in extreme disagreement with both the anti-Calvinism and the dispensationalism continually promoted by Hunt. I include this site because, despite these flaws, Hunt still does a good job on other fronts.

Consider Christianity - A nicely designed site that defends Christianity for what it is - "a faith based on facts." This site's theme is the promotion of "Consider Christianity Week," offering instruction on getting your church involved. Also featured is an online discussion forum. The Library section contains some good material on the Trinity, the inerrancy of Scripture, the "KJV-only" controversy, Christ's Deity, universalism, and other apologetics topics.

The Office of Shandon L. Guthrie - The original material on this site is explosive in the extreme. Guthrie brings fresh perspectives and insight to a number of important subjects. Material deals with atheism, mormonism, relativism, and various social issues. NOT simply a rehash of typical material.

The Irenaeus Foundation - A growing site featuring the apologetics of Jeff Spencer and Scott Henderson. Articles tackle the problem of evil, cultic views of Jesus, errors of the Dake Annotated Reference Bible, and other important topics. NOTE: I like the material on this site, but disagree with Spencer on his "The Annihilation of Hell" article. This site is also home to the excellent apologetics journal, The Overcomer.

Gospel Outreach Ministries Online - Many articles covering the Gospel and refuting various false teachings -- including universalism, baptismal regeneration, heretical Christologies, and secular humanism. Also some great material on the Trinity (although they go too far in their denunciation of "systematic theology"), and the Word of Faith Movement.

Institute for Religious Research - Great resources here "for investigating today's competing religious claims." Although the amount of material here is still somewhat sparse, the articles provide important critique of cults/teachings covering specifics not usually dealt with in more general treatments.

Mormonism ---

Word for the Weary - Lots Mormon prophet Brigham Young (1873) said to "Take up the Bible, compare the religion of the Latter-day Saints with it, and see if it will stand the test." This site features the work of a qualified team of researchers who have taken up Brigham's challenge. Focused on reaching those trapped in the LDS, Word for the Weary offers great resources "Answering the Challenge of Mormonism from a Biblical Perspective."

Utah Lighthouse Ministry - The ministry of Jerald and Sandra Tanner, both ex-LDS. The Tanners go out of their way to give accurate information documenting the problems with LDS theology, and refuting Mormon claims. Their meticulous research can be found here to help you reach your LDS neighbors. MUST SEE.

Seventh-Day Adventists ---

Good News Unlimited - The ministry of Roy Gee and Desmond Ford. Great articles on the more controversial aspects of Seventh-Day Adventism from these men, one of them (Ford) himself an Evangelical Seventh-Day Adventist. The ministry is interdenominational and has a strong emphasis on salvation by grace, providing more general material as well. Includes Q&A, a message board, and an online magazine. See the GNU Australia site for some good articles written for SDAs.

Judaism ---

CJF Ministries - This is the website of the Christian Jew Foundation. Very well-written and informative articles addressing Judaism and Christianity, and answering various Bible questions. Don't miss this one.

Of Whom Do the Prophets Speak - This site carefully examines the Old Testament Scriptures concerning the Messiah. Along the way, it is demonstrated that these prophecies were fulfilled in Jesus. This is a must-see apologetics resource that is packed with vital information (including ancient Jewish sources). The beautiful illustrations accompanying each text are a bonus!

Islam ---

IslamReview - Coptic Christian Abdullah al-Araby's Christian critique of Islam. Several articles cover many details of Islam from a Christian perspective. Also includes testimonials, audio files, news items, and other resources. MUST SEE.

Answering Islam - The most comprehensive website dealing with Islam from a Christian perspective, and with a distinctly evangelistic motivation. The articles and other resources here address every facet of Islamic theology and practice in detail. MUST SEE.

The Good Way - A nicely dsigned evangelistic site that seeks to share the Gospel with Muslims, using Arabic terminology and addressing Islamic issues - often with the Muslim's own scriptures (the Quran). The tone of the site is very non-threatening and gracious (but uncompromising).

Encouraging Reform Movements ---

Christianity Reexamined (WWCG) - Great site concerning the major transformations that have occured within the Worldwide Church of God in recent years. Most interesting is that the webmaster was a member of the WWCG BEFORE the changes and is still a member now! Read as John contrasts the house that HE built with the house that Jesus built (i.e., works vs. faith). MUST SEE.

CCLEC (Episcopal) - The Episcopal Church has been falling fast for some time now, denying Orthodox doctrine and practice at every opportunity. Nevertheless, there yet remains a company within her that has not "bowed the knee to Baal." This is the website of the Concerned Clergy & Laity of the Episcopal Church, a group standing firm for orthodoxy within the Episcopal Church. Features online articles by such teachers as John Stott and Peter Toon.

The First Promise (Episcopal) - Another Episcopal group dedicated to the promise "to remain loyal to the doctrine, discipline and worship of Jesus Christ as this Church has received them ... " Includes an online articles and news section which comments on various issues within the Anglican Church.

Beacon (EX-JW) - Overseen by an ex-Jehovah's Witness as a "beacon" for former members of the Watchtower organization. Contains material by various ex-JWs evaluating various JW doctrines and/or practices and offering different perspectives. Not all of the contributors are entirely "orthodox" nor "evangelical." However, they are out from under Watchtower tyranny and open to God and to the Scriptures. Concerning the doctrines that they DO critique, tell me, what better source could be found?

Freedoms Ring (CofC) - This is the website of Cecil Hook's ministry. Cecil is a commited believer within the Churches of Christ. His focus is the promotion of grace and liberty in opposition to legalistic bondage. There is much good material posted here, including hundreds of past articles by Edward Fudge and others. MUST SEE.

The Living Stone (CofC) - Many articles with a strong emphasis on grace, brotherly love, true worship, and the NT church as a community of believers.

Afrocentric Theology

The Truth About Kwanzaa - Carlotta Morrow is an African-American woman with guts, that's for sure. Her "family involvement with the creator of Kwanzaa, Dr. Maulana Karenga, led to the uncovering of some amazing facts. The author reveals the contradictions of Kwanzaa and encourages Christians not to celebrate this spiritually seductive holiday." Carlotta quite simply put her faith in Christ above (so-called) "race." She epitomizes the Christian thinker.

Roman Catholicism: Pro & Con ---

Proclaiming the Gospel - The website of Catholic-turned-evangelical Michael P. Gendron, now an evangelist. Gendron has posted some good resources, and is included here because of his obvious motivation to reach Catholics, and his clear attempt to be fair and gracious in his presentation.

Biblical Evidence for Catholicism - No, I am not Roman-Catholic! However, I have great respect for this evangelical-turned-Catholic David Armstrong. I offer this site as the "best" of the arguments for Catholicism. In addition, David provides a TON of links and articles of general interest to orthodox Christians - even Protestants : )

Spiritual Abuse & Legalism ---

Lois Johnson's Spiritual Abuse Site - Lois is a gutsy and intelligent sister sounding the alarm about spiritual abuse. Nevertheless, she does so very tactfully and without offending. Her site contains some great material on both the United Pentecostal Church (of which she was a part) and also of a more general nature. MUST SEE.

Twisted Scriptures - This is the website of Mary Alice Chrnalogar, author of the book of the same name. A spiritual abuse victim herself, Mary offers various resources to help victims of abusive churches - including a condensed version of her book posted online.

21st Century Christianity - Webmaster Fred Peatross, a grace believer in the Restoration tradition (CofC/Christian/Disciples), sums up the purpose of his site: "As we prepare to enter the 21st century, we find countless Christian leaders who have unthinkingly turned Christian existence into ritualistic legalism. Christians are discouraged and disheartened as they live under the yoke of Scriptureless law. This page has been constructed in an effort to seek positive and constructive understandings between grace centered Christianity and a mistaken ritualistic legalism that died when Christ died over 1900 years ago." Peatross has written and posted many important articles here for all believers. MUST SEE.

Deception in the Church ---

Witness to the Word - One of the sites of Museltof Ministries. While deception in the Church is not the only focus of the material here, it is a frequent focus. Good material on the Word of Faith teachers, counterfeit revival, and Charismatic extremes. Visit Museltof's other site at http://www.ourchurch.com/member/m/museltof/.

Inner-City Christian Discernment Ministry - This is the ministry of Robert & Tracy Liichow, both formerly involved with the "charismatic chaos" of the word of faith movement (Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, etc.). Their website is perhaps the best on the web dealing with this specific movement and the heresies it promotes. MUST SEE. DISCLAIMER: The Liichows have, in my opinion, "thrown out the baby with the bathwater" and now advocate a "cessationist" position. I regard this position as an extreme reaction to Charismatic abuses that is as unbiblical as the Charismatic excesses.

Deception in the Church - Many informative articles focusing on the "prosperity" teachers, the "spiritual warfare" movement, and the "Toronto blessing."

Areopagitica Ministries - Great material on various deceptions originating in the modern Charismatic Movement. There are some informative resources here covering the Toronto/Brownsville manifestations, including Hanegraaff's interview with Tom Stipe, a pastor formerly involved in the counterfeit revival. Also includes some articles covering various abused concepts such as speaking to Satan and "the anointing." MUST SEE.

Cross + Word - Good articles exposing various deceptions in the Church (holy laughter, counterfeit revivals, ecumenical compromise, etc.). Also a message board and other resources.

Take Heed Ministries - Articles dealing with the Word of Faith, Vineyard, and Toronto deceptions from a concerned European ministry. It ain't just America, folks.

Vanguard - An online newsletter offering articles by such men as Philip Powell (former Australian AofG General Secretary) and Bill Randles (author of Weighed and Found Wanting). Covers the counterfeit revival and Promise Keepers, among other deceptions. Free e-mail subscription available.

World Revival Prayer Fellowship - Evangelical Pentecostal Pastor A.M. Mathew defends the faith against various attempts to integrate the faith with Hinduism and ecumenism in general. Also some material on Mormonism. A growing site.

Light Ministries - Several articles dealing with heresy in the modern Church, particularly the word of faith movement and Charismatic excesses. There are also some great articles here on basic doctrine and practical issues. Jason Boothe's article, "A Consecrated Church ? - A Critical Examination of Modern Church Culture," should be required reading.

The Contenders - Good information on various deceptions in the Church, utilizing up-to-date news items. Also some good resources on New Age teaching.

Believers in Grace Ministries - This is the ministry of Pastor Bill Randles, a Charismatic pastor taking a stand against deception in the Church, including both the "Toronto Blessing" and the so-called "spiritual warfare movement." Randles' books and tapes are listed here, and some articles are available online.

Psychoheresy Awareness Ministries - I am increasingly amazed at the number of Christians that really think there is "nothing wrong" with the so-called "science" (not!) of psychology. The Bobgans, authors of several books on the subject, dismantle this false system piece by piece and in a variety of ways. Free newsletter available. MUST SEE.

SingleVISION Ministries - Marital problems, anger, stress, anxiety, depression -- believers have problems like everyone else. This counseling ministry located in Austin, Texas employs the Bible as the basis for a counseling methodology that works where conventional therapy has not. This site includes many excellent resources, an e-mail list, and also some fine articles on many practical topics. Reformed in perspective.

Family-Discipleship Ministries - This is Sid Galloway's great resource dealing with many family and discipleship issues. The practical teaching on this site is thoroughly biblical and presented within a context including articles, pictures and acronyms that make the principles easy to apply and remember. MUST SEE.

The Scripture Memory Connection - An amazing site! THE internet resource for what I call the "forgotten key to sanctification" (see THINKMAIL #4) - the memorization of Scripture! Features an e-mail discussion list devoted strictly to the memorization of Scripture, as well as great resources dealing with all of the "whys" and "hows" of Scripture memorization. MUST SEE.

Moore on Life - Although there isn't much online here at this moment (10/99), hopefully that will change soon. This is the ministry of David T. Moore, Senior Pastor at Southwest Community Church in Palm Desert, California. Although Moore and I stand at opposite ends of the debate over "free will" and predestination (Moore being the "free will" advocate), nevertheless he remains in my "top ten" favorite Bible teachers. He is easy to listen to, and delivers intensely practical messages with exegetical style. Currently, you can access his radio shows in real audio, and view his tape list online.

The Christian in Complete Armour Daily - An e-mail devotional ministry using William Gurnall's classic The Christian in Complete Armour, a wonderful Puritan text on true spiritual warfare.

Kingdomlife.com - A great resource of "Christian mystics" past and present. I do not share the wholesale suspicion and condemnation of "mysticism" that many of my fellow Calvinists promote. I consider Christianity to be a very experiential faith with a definite "mystical" aspect. While some of the Christian mystics tend to be out-of-balance, we can learn much from them. CAUTION: I do not endorse all of the material online at this site - read with discernment.

The Liberty Inn - Articles and resources on the important (and neglected) topic of Christian liberty. "Between Legalism and Antinomianism Lies Christian Liberty ." Amen.

He Invites - Finally! I kept waiting for someone to do this (or, to FIND who had done this already). This site is dedicated to posting Christian testimonies - not just of salvation, but of God working in lives in many different ways. Really cool, and great encouragement for believers!

Institute in Basic Life Principles - Information on Bill Gothard's seminars and organization. Gothard gets much criticism, but I heartily recommend the Basic Seminar to all believers. The approach is non-denominational and focuses on applying the principles in Scripture to every area of life. The seminar entrance fee is a one-time charge for materials that applies for life (i.e., entrance to repeat seminars is free).

The Best Christian Sites Report - Offers a free e-mail newsletter. Each issue is a topical list of web links to assist the believer in different aspects of Christian growth. All back issues are archived.

The "Screwdisk" E-Mail - A take-off on C.S. Lewis' classic Screwtape Letters, revamped by Mr. Mendler to reflect the computerized society in which we live. Very interesting, entertaining, and thought-provoking material!

Christian Financial Concepts - An area where we all need instruction! This is the ministry of Larry Burkett.
