I thought that today I would highlight some great things around the web. I hope you will take some time to explore them. Maybe you will find a new favorite place to stop in your daily internet life.
Ligonier Academy: Providing onsite and online learning opportunities.
We know that when the Bible is taught clearly, God will be seen in all of His majesty and holiness, hearts will be conquered, minds renewed, and communities transformed. Ligonier Ministries’ intention is to launch Ligonier Academy to initially serve post-graduate study for ministers and continuing education for laymen. The Academy will directly serve clergy that are interested in ongoing education beyond their seminary. As a destination committed to training Christ’s servants to live in the Word and live out the Gospel, we want to build a learning environment that prepares Christ-followers for real-world ministry. We know that reformation in the church is not only possible, but also promised by the Lord, and we believe that by providing a place for study, fellowship and collegial interaction, Ligonier Ministries will maintain its intellectual edge and theological prowess and we can more effectively teach biblical Christianity to a new generation of reformers.
ESV Study Bible goes digital:
After just four weeks on store shelves, the ESV Study Bible has sold more than 140,000 copies, immediately becoming the best-selling study Bible in the marketplace today.
This is the Bible I use and I love it! You can also visit http://www.esv.org/ to read and search online.
Here is the link to a short two minute video on Reformation Worship. Dr. Murray discusses how many who call themselves reformed often stop there and do not apply the reformed principles to their worship or even other aspects of their life. There is also a link to his sermon on the subject. Whether you agree or not it is a good resource for learning more.
Here are a few links about the same thing. They are great articles that really make you think. Even my hubby as a minister has recieved some of this backlash over the same issue, being a Calvinist in the SBC.
Here is a quote from Provocations and Pantings.
Ten years later, Voddie is all but hanging on as a Southern Baptist. No,
he did not commit any immoral acts or disqualify himself from ministry. What happened is that he chose not to play the game of political correctness or
prefer his career over biblical truth. Voddie is not one to have ever shied away from controversy, and it was evident that he was not going to allow political favors, denominational power, or the cult of personality to shape and direct his ministerial calling. Having said that, I would like to turn your attention to Voddie’s recent blog post entitled “SBC and Calvinism: A Personal Perspective.”
Here is a quote from Voddie Baucham’s article The SBC and Calvinism: A Personal Perspective.
No… I’m not gay. It’s far worse than that. I’m a Calvinist! That’s right, I’m a fire-breathing, TULIP believing, five-point Calvinist. That, my friends, is the unpardonable sin in contemporary Southern Baptist life (unless your name is Al Mohler and you’ve been President of the flagship Southern Baptist Theological Seminary since you were in your early thirties and happen to be the most intelligent, articulate, winsome public face the Convention has).
Over at Presbyterian Thoughts is posted a great list of how to get the most out of your home library. The 10 Directions posted appear in the December issue of The Banner of Truth.

Study Resources For the Holocaust
Wow, can you believe it? After several weeks I finally have a new link to share! Two actually!
We are preparing to study World War II and the Holocaust so I did a search. I came across this site: Cybrary of the Holocaust. They have an education page with links and lesson plans, HERE.
Next, I did a search for a study on Corrie Ten Boom and stumbled upon a free cliff note resource. They have a search engine you can use or you can just look through the alphabetical listing. The site is called Best Notes and the direct link for Corrie Ten Boom’s Hiding Place is HERE.
