This ministry is designed to help you to grow in your Christian faith and to be a witness to others.
Most of the links provided are to Protestant websites, yet I will be adding Catholic sites to round things out. My issue with most of the Catholic websites is their focus on defending Catholic doctrine as opposed to developing a relationship with our Lord.
I have found the teachers listed invaluable in bringing me deeper into the Word of God, and encourage you to visit these sites with discernment.
I am well aware of my limitations, so I've included on this page links to other websites that will help you grow exponentially in your walk with Christ.
Please feel free to visit them and learn from some of the great minds in our contemporary culture. I will be adding links that will help you grow in your spiritual walk often, so keep an eye on this page.
God bless,
Joe
Dr. John MacArthur is one of the finest theologians of our day. His sermons are riveting, bringing the power and truth of Scripture to a level where if you aren't called to action, you better check your pulse. I admire his devotion to the accurate translation of Scripture and realize one may gain great knowledge from him. His ministry website is:
Along with Dr. MacArthur, Dr. R.C. Sproul is simply incredible. He is a tremendous advocate for Reformation Theology, and I could spend the rest of my life sitting at his feet and still not know half as much as he does. His ministry website is:
The Prayer Foundation is an ideal website to help you grow spiritually. It's focus is on developing the inner prayer life of the individual, and the resources on this website are amazing! It's a great place to bring peace to your soul. Monk Preston and Monk Linda founded the Knights of Prayer Monastic Order, and have blessed us with a reminder that prayer is vital to growing an intimate relationship with our Lord and Savior. Please do not confuse this website with one using a very similar web address. If you don't find Monk Preston or Monk Linda, you need to double check where you are.
Pastor Wayne Dell is in charge of the Center for Professional studies at The Master's College and is a great friend and mentor of mine. His insights into Scripture and their application in daily life prompted me to start my ministry. Read his devotionals at:

A true man of God, Dr. Adrian Rogers of Love Worth Finding Ministries was a most eloquent Preacher of the Gospel, and we are blessed to access his messages at the following website:
One of my favorite Pastors is Charles Stanley from InTouch Ministries. He preaches the Word of God with the focus on what a loving and Redeeming God we have. He's not "flashy" - he's genuine. Do yourself a favor and visit his website:
SPECIAL OPERATIONS WARRIOR FOUNDATION
While not a resource to gain Christian resources, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation is one of my favorite charities., Among other things, they raise money in order to provide scholarships for the children of the fallen heroes of the Special Operations Community. Any contributions you can give them will be put to good use.
