This website is a collection of tools that can be used to conduct your own personal or group bible study.

Everything here is free, tested (by me personally) and endorsed (by me personally). I created this originally for my daughter so that she could just come to this website to grow in the Christian faith, but soon found that she wasn’t alone in wanting a place that had a good listing of tools and utilities that have been tried, tested and rated.

If you find something that you think should be listed here, shoot me an email and if it checks out… I’ll list it! Just email me at lounsbury@live.com.

The destruction of Herod’s Temple in 70 A.D. is an important piece of the puzzle when addressing the place of the Church in realtion to the covenants made with Jews in the Old Testament. Here you find a very interesting article that speaks to this issue in great detail:

Here are a few resources on the internet that allow you to share the good news of Jesus Christ!

The Hope Project

Created in co-operation with motion picture producers and distributors around the world, The HOPE is an 80 minute dramatic presentation of God’s epic story of redemption as revealed in the Bible.  The worldwide Internet ministry of The HOPE is an extremely effective way to share God’s redemptive story in today’s world. People around the world are discovering how to have a personal relationship with God through this ministry. The HOPE video stream and the follow-up that is available on this site are being provided free of charge by Mars Hill Productions (producer of The HOPE) and NeedHim (the follow up ministry for inquiries about Knowing God).

The Jesus Film Project

Every eight seconds, somewhere in the world, another person indicates a decision to follow Christ after watching the “JESUS” film.

Every eight seconds… that’s 10,800 people per day, 324,000 per month and more than 3.8 million per year! That’s like the population of the entire city of Pittsburgh, PA coming to Christ every 28 ¼ days. And yet, if you are like many people, you may have never even heard of it.

Called by some “one of the best-kept secrets in Christian missions,” a number of mission experts have acclaimed the film as one of the greatest evangelistic tools of all time. Since 1979 the “JESUS” film has been viewed by several billon people all across the globe, and has resulted in more than 200 million men, women and children indicating decisions to follow Jesus. In addition, through hundreds of partners an estimated 10+ million decisions have been made as the film “JESUS” is used extensively by the Body of Christ worldwide.

There are a lot of websites devoted to Christian news and information. They range from the very conventional to those that borderline on insane. I’ve got one that I go back to over and over again…

The Christian Post!

Here’s how they describe themselves in their “About” section…

ChristianPost.com is the nation’s most comprehensive Christian news website and was launched in July 2000 with the vision of delivering up-to-date news, information, and commentaries relevant to Christians across denominational lines.

As the flagship website of The Christian Post, ChristianPost.com has quickly grown to become a leading online Christian news publication, with continuous updates throughout the day – seven days a week.

Through the website, The Christian Post presents national and international coverage of current events affecting and involving Christian leaders, church bodies, ministries, mission agencies, schools, businesses, and the general Christian public.

As a pan-denominational Christian media source, The Christian Post views all Christ-centered denominations as equal constituents of the body of Christ and does not promote or demote any Christ-centered denomination and/or congregation.

The Christian Post is a member of the Evangelical Press Association, a member of the National Association of Evangelicals, and a global partner of the World Evangelical Alliance.

This website is VERY cool! If you use Firefox for your internet browser, you can have a slim side bar available to track all of your social network yammering! It also can install on your system tray and give you live updates whenever your friends make posts too! I’m telling you, this is an awesome tool for free 99!

You can stall this on your computer or even your iPhone! I use this to keep me up to date with all of my social network, networks and you should too!

Even as I am typing this I am watching Facebook updates streaming in so I don’t even have to move from what I am doing to stay in the know.

Bottom line is this

This makes Facebook and Twitter easy. No more checking even 10 minutes to see if people have responded to your posts, with Yoono installed on your desktop (what I recommend) you will get up to the second updates without even pausing while typing.

How cool is that?

Get yer Yoono on too @ http://www.yoono.com

I found an interesting blog that discusses news and trends in communications technology and how that impacts Christian individuals and organizations. It’s stated goal is to help Christian individuals and organizations make better use of communications technology in their churches, schools, ministries, businesses, and personal lives.

I found it on my kindle where it is available as an online magazine and soon found myself reading article after article and kind of excited that something like that was available. We all read things on the internet in the form of visiting favorite websites, blogs, etc., but I found this partcularily interesting because I could lay in bed and read it with my kindle. The website is free but the kindle version is not. The subscription to the kindle magazine version of the website is 99 cents a month, but the first 14 days are free and you can cancel at any time.
