WIT & WISDOM
► Christians Quoting ◄
www.christiansquoting.org.uk
Graham Weeks, my good friend and fellow-
elder in the International Presbyterian Church
(Ealing) maintains this treasure-trove of
biblical (and not-so-biblical) wit & wisdom.
Here you will find (take a deep breath)
10,201 quotes on 654 topics with 2,452
authors indexed with 903 links. Topics range
from the very serious to the humourous -
including such useful tools as "An Application
for Permission to Date My Daughter" for all you
nervous fathers out there - and what father
among us isn't?
Do check out Graham's site. You may very well
find it habit-forming.

►The Ship of Fools ◄
(Much Wit - Little Wisdom)
www.ship-of-fools.com
Ship of Fools is a London-based webzine
which bills itself as "'the magazine of Christian
unrest' - an independent, non-commercial site
run by a group of writers in their spare time.
The ship sails under the flag of orthodox
Christianity, but on a buccaneering voyage."
Quite "Monty-Pythonish," this site helps us
Christians poke fun at ourselves. Thus is
should be studiously eschewed by all who
insist on taking themselves very seriously.
You have been warned.
Actually, the site actually has a redeeming
feature or two. Without the good people at
Ship of Fools, I'd not have known where to
buy my very own pair of Armor of God PJs!

BIBLE STUDY
► StudyLight ◄
www.studylight.org
This online Bible resource site is so good,
that if desktop icons could wear out with use,
mine for StudyLight icon would have disap-
peared altogether. SL has a dozen or more
versions of the Bible with full search functions.
You can search for a passage, a word, or a
phrase - in the whole Bible - or limiting the
search to Old or New Testaments, or single
books or book groups (Decalogue, Pauline
epistles, etc.).
Even if you're not a student of Hebrew or
Greek, there are original language helps for
the English-only Bible reader. Strong's Greek
and Hebrew dictionary definitions are available
with a click. You may have to putter around a
bit to figure out how to do it all, but it's a
veritable GOLDMINE just waiting for you!
There is also a REFERENCE LIBRARY and
discussion FORUMS, plus other resources
which I'll leave you to discover. Enjoy!
You can create your own account (free) that
will remember your settings - or just use it as
a perennial guest.
BIBLICAL &
THEOLOGICAL STUDIES
► Third Millenium Ministries ◄
www.thirdmill.org
This ministry is the brainchild (and what a
child it is!) of Dr. Richard Pratt, professor at
Reformed Theological Seminary USA. Many
years ago, Richard had a vision to provide
quality theological education to disadvantaged
men and women who lacked the sort of
resources we take for granted in the
developed world. Don't miss a thorough
investigation of this amazing website/
ministry.
Don't let this frighten you away, but... this
amazing ministry website offers a 54-hour
acreditable masters curriculum consisting of
540 seminary hours. And, you can pick your
language: English, Arabic, Chinese, Russian or
Spanish.
This is a lay-friendly site - not something
designed for brain surgeons and atomic
physicists.
There are video sources and lectures galore.
"Third Millennium's video curriculum has been
distributed in 5 languages throughout 52
countries. It is used by pastors, missionaries,
students, Bible schools, seminaries, churches
and many others. To date we have distributed
approximately 2,863,000 video lessons."
This is "distance education" at its very best.
A stunning site not to be missed!

► BibleCentre.net ◄
www.biblecentre.net
This is a superlative UK-based website
whose vision is to provide Christian workers
around the world - especially those who lack
the funds to buy books - with online sources
for some of the very best titles! Believe it
when I say their resource list is JAW-
DROPPING! There is a reference library, music,
and, a 6-lesson video Church history course
taught by Dr. Timothy George of Beason
Divinity School.
NOTE! BibleCentre.net has graciously given
the users of the Grace4Life ministry site our
very own (free) account and password.
TRY IT!

Use their site without guilt! But... since their
ministry is supported by appreciative hearts
like yours, if you can spare a few shekels, may
I encourage you to as I did and set up your
own personal account. Payment is accepted
via PayPal only.
One caveat (with humblest apologies to
Andrew). The site suggests the use of the free
Foxit .PDF reader. I tried it but will stick with
Adobe Reader. The latest version 8.1.2 is slick,
and, like Foxit, free. www.adobe.com - Click
"Get Adobe Reader".

► Theology Network ◄
www.theologynetwork.org
This is a new site from UCCF - The Christian
Unions UK. You'll find both text documents and
topical audio lectures (printable and
downloadable) on a wide range of theological
subjects from well-known Christian authors
and teachers from past to present - from
Calvin to Norman Geisler, Wayne Grudem, Don
Carson, etc.
And, to top it off, there is a stellar search
engine of the entire database.
