Going On To Perfection

The internet can be a great resource for studying scripture, but it can also be a confusing place to maneuver.  Here are a number of resources that I have either used or have looked into using.  As with anything on the internet, some of them are top notch and others need to be used with an understanding that not everything on the internet is produced through quality research.  All of these, however, have certain resources that I believe are helpful in personal study as well as in preparing lessons for group study.

1. Biblegateway.com – The quintessential Bible resource!  Here you can search scripture in almost every published translation and some that are commonly out of print.  Great source for comparing versions.
2. Bible-Reading.com – Here is a great list for daily reading through the Bible in a year.
3. BibleMap.org – A great integration of the bible and Google maps searchable by verse.
4. CCEL.org - A wonderful resource for all of the classic writings of the church and early church leaders.
5. Crosswalk.com – A good selection of devotionals that you can read or sign up to receive in your e-mail.
6. ibsstl.org – Introductions for every book of the bible from the NIV Study Bible.
7. intothyword.org – Great notes on the Inductive Bible Study method – a great way to study scripture!
8. theopedia.com – Wikipedia for the Christian world.  (Use understanding that this is a “community edited” resource.)
9. bibleinverse.org – A scripture memorization flashcard freeware.
10. bible-history.com – Great resource, particularly for printable maps.
11. Bible Genealogy search – Search bible character by name.  Excellent genealogy charts (a little too detailed at times, though.)
12. I-Tunes podcasts – No link to post here, but don’t forget there are some excellent messages and studies available on I-Tunes!  I’m sure at some time in the future I will post my top 12 sermon podcasts.
