Are the Passion and Easter Stories Really Anti-Semitic? http://www.leaderu.com/theology/passion_antisemitic.html Ben Witherington III points out how the Gospels reflect not a contention between Jews and Gentiles, but between Jews and Jews since Christ and His first disciples were all Jewish.

The Bible Gateway  www.prayergear.com/bgw.html is the tremendous electronic concordance on our Spiritual Resource Services/Prayergear.com web site.  This one is more than an electronic tool, it is a Bible search web site. Here is how it describes itself: "The Bible Browser is a simple but powerful interface designed to help you browse the Bible actively, in a way that is not possible with traditional printed books. Using the Bible Browser, you can look up biblical passages directly, by keyword, substring, or word pattern. You can also perform phrase searches, execute logical operations on groups of passages, retrieve passages from different versions, and limit in various ways the quantity and range of material retrieved."

The Confessor  www.theconfessor.co.uk This site is sponsored by the British based Premier Christian Radio and offers biblically sound principles regarding keeping our relationship with God unhindered by sin, including scripture references, prayers and short commentaries. (Please note: This is not to be confused with several other sites we came across that actually invite people to share their shortcomings on the site for the response of others. This is tantamount to gossip (and vulture gathering!), which is a sin, so we will NOT feature these sites.)

Creation Super Library www.christiananswers.net/creation/home.html There has been an increase in the media reporting of the issue of creation versus evolution, especially pertaining to public education.

It is a "super library" of great value to ministers, teachers, parents and all defenders of the faith.

Voice to All Nations www.prayergear.com/guide.html The invention of 'movable type' - the printing press, transformed education, learning, evangelism and communication. It laid the foundations for the Renaissance, the arts, sciences, and the world as we know it today. The digital revolution is bringing about a similar huge change in evangelism, Christian discipleship and community, in ways which are only just beginning.

Justice & Mercy, Inc.  www.justicemercy.org   Our criminal justice system is a failing system that hurts many although intending to help. The number of inmates and the cost of incarceration has dramatically increased in the last 5-10 years (inmates by 29%, cost by 51%). As a direct result many marriages fail (after 2 years of incarceration), the risk for children of failed marriages and/or with incarcerated parents to commit crimes and enter prisons increases, a 70% recidivism rate for worse crimes than committed the first time and an increase in drug related crimes. All prisoners are sons, daughters, husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, grandchildren and in-laws - therefore effecting every single one of us.
The general population does not care what happens in prisons and to inmates, they have a “you’ve done the crime, now do the time” attitude. In reality this is probably a major contribution to our crime problem. We shout “get tougher” and max their time, however, no one is talking about the downside of that harsh policy!

Chosen People Ministries http://www.chosenpeople.com This is the very informative and comprehensive web site of Chosen People Ministries, Messianic Jews who declare, "There is a 'Messianic portrait' found in the Hebrew Scriptures and in the teachings of our ancient Jewish sages. It portrays a man who would also embody the nature of God Almighty. This Messiah would serve, suffer and die. He would also rise and will return one day to rule. Only one person resembles this portrait -- in every detail. It is Yeshua, Jesus. A Jewish person who accepts the Messianic claims of Yeshua has simply embraced the Messianic hope penned over thousands of years by the Jewish authors of Scripture."

Spiritual Gifts Discovery Tool  www.cforc.com/sgifts.html You'll be taken to a web site that has both an online and offline version of a 110 item questionnaire. It is biblically designed to provide thought, guidance or affirmation (of what you already know) regarding your spiritual gifts through a numerically based scoring system resulting in your profile. I found it personally interesting and also saw how it could be used as the basis for a great series of Bible studies, as well as a great family activity.

The Word for Today  www.thewordfortoday.org This site is part of the outreach of Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, CA, pastored by Chuck Smith, the founder of the Calvary Chapel international movement. "In a broad general sense, Calvary Chapel is the middle ground between fundamentalism and Pentecostalism...Over the years...fundamentalism, while it clung to the integrity of God's Word, tended to become rigid, legalistic, and unaccepting of spiritual gifts. Similarly, Pentecostalism became enthusiastic and emotional at the expense of the teaching of God's Word. Calvary Chapel is the balance between the two." (Larry Taylor, "What Calvary Chapel Teaches", 1994) This web site is instructive and media-intensive, providing you live radio and live talk TV, audio and literature products, and an excellent exposition by Chuck Smith on its "About" page. The home page of this site will tell you in scrolling text that they are working on constructing a secure product ordering system, but you can still order items by snail mail. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Sacred Space http://www.sacredspace.ie/   One of our web site visitors wrote, "I'm a trained spiritual director and found this site through one of my teachers during practicum. It makes pondering and reflecting on the Word daily very easy, even when traveling." We agreed and decided to post this resource here. Those who need guidance in their prayer practice will find this site very useful.

First Apology of Justin, the Martyr http://www.prayergear.com/FirstApologyofJustintheMartyr.html  The DaVinci Code mania disputed what the early Christians believed regarding the divinity of Christ, referencing 4th century "gospels." This book was written to the Roman Emperor in A.D. 155 in an effort to explain the Christian faith and practices at that time. This priceless literature is authoritative and accurate, written less than 100 years after Christ's ascension. Justin was renamed "Justin Martyr" after his execution by the Romans. Compare your church's beliefs and practices with Justin's first person account of the early Christian churches! (The many links within this book open to a new window (outside of Prayergear.com) and are a treasure to explore, especially for pastors and teachers of churches.)
