One thing I love about the World Wide Web is the incredible access to so many resources. I have learned a great deal and have become enabled to store up a wealth of knowledge that has encouraged me, strengthened me, and convicted me in this awesome journey I've been on while walking with Christ.
This page will most likely be ever changing and you will find links, audios, videos, and other assorted tools that I come across regularly or have been using for quite some time. Please feel free to email me if you have any suggestions, additions, or would like to request something be added to the list.
For your edification and mine, and in Christ Jesus,

Bible Study Resources -
E-Sword
E-Sword Software and E-Sword Live: Some of the best things in life are free, and a
s the old saying goes, this is actually for real. This program is by far one of the best programs for students of the Word to become equipped, do word studies, compare translations, and even learn the Greek and Hebrew meaning of the scriptures. There is a plethora of add-on's now available through the new down-loader built-in to the software. Some of these are free, and some require a nominal fee. Either way, it's worth it. If you like it, donate to the author and he will send you a copy o
f E-Sword on disc. Note: The live version is extremely convenient as it allows you to set up a personalized online account and gives you access to E-Sword from anywhere there is internet access. (This is also available for pocket-pc's running on a Microsoft platform)There is also eStudySource. This site provides premium resources for the e-Sword - Here
Also, e-Sword users has a plethora of free tools add-on's and hard to find commentaries to add to your e-Sword toolbox. - Here
Bible Explorer
Rich in resources, free tools, books, and commentaries, this program is also a must have
for any student of the bible. There is so much to this program it could easily take an entire site to detail it's incredible value. But wait, there already is one here. You can also download it straight to your PC and be up and running in no time. Be ever watchful for the free books that are made available from time to time. Manage a library of theology and have instant access to topical studies, commentaries, and many more tools right from your desktop.The Word
The Word appears to be a fantastic alternative to the E-Sword free bible software. Over the years, E-Sword has been unprecedented in bringing bible study software to the masses for free, while be comparable to many of the paid modules on the market.Some of the functions I really enjoy are the enhanced graphical interface, the plethora of free modules and resources available, the compatibility with E-Sword modules (has a built in module converter), and the portability of the USB option. You can install the entire module library, plus the software on a single USB drive and take your Bible software and library anywhere you go.
I have also been able to successfully run The Word with the WINE program for MAC OS/X as if it were operating in it's native PC environment. So double the freebie value and now you have double sweetness!
