Recommended Resources
As you seek to explore more of the different aspects of the Christian faith, we recommend the following ministries as amazing resources. Please explore these sites to grow not just in your knowledge of Christianity, but also in your understanding of how Jesus and His Gospel minister to our hearts as well.
Knowable Word (www.knowableword.com)
Our very own Peter Krol, president of DiscipleMakers, writes this weekly blog that has garnered some national attention. Peter said, about his blog, "I write about anything having to do with the Bible. Some posts are Bible studies, giving you examples to follow. Other posts discuss methods for Bible study. Yet other posts present ideas for leading Bible study discussions. Along the way, I’ll refer you to other websites that are doing a good job of it, too." We highly recommend reading this regularly.
The Gospel Coalition (www.thegospelcoalition.org)
The Gospel Coalition (TGC) is a huge and ever-growing network of pastors, churches, ministries, and resources that is devoted to Gospel-centered ministry, church reform, and cultural transformation. Their website serves as a nerve-center and resource collector for many of today's most trustworthy and inspiring Christian leaders. Be sure to check out the vast Resources section - TGC is a wonderful tool for growing in your own faith and equipping yourself to lead others.
Dr. Tim Keller of Redeemer Presbyterian Church (www.timothykeller.com, www.gospelinlife.com)
Tim Keller is the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. In addition to co-leading the Gospel Coalition with Dr. D. A. Carson, Keller is an influential author and teacher who is deeply committed to seeing Jesus' Gospel shine above all else in the Christian church. We recommend that everyone take the time to listen to his sermons and see how God's grace, shown to us in the life and teaching of Jesus, is at the center of everything we are as Christians.
Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry (www.carm.org/answers-for-seekers)
CARM represents a vast collection of thought, research, and evidence in support of the Bible and the history and teachings it contains. Be sure to peruse the topical index in the left sidebar for answers to many difficult questions.
Desiring God (www.desiringgod.org)
Desiring God provides the collected resources of the ministry of Dr. John Piper, pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis. The theme of Piper's ministry as an author and teacher has consistently been the glory of God, and he helps both the Christian and non-Christian alike to know God as He really is. Piper is almost unparalleled as a preacher and we encourage you to listen to some of the hundreds (possibly thousands) of sermons archived on the site.
Bible Sprout (www.biblesprout.com)
Bible Sprout is an educational Christian website focused on helping people know more about God’s truth through reliance on Scripture. Their goal is to help Christians cultivate their personal faith by providing access to important biblical knowledge.
