This page contains a list of helpful resources on a
variety of topics.
Links are organized by category, and are supportive of the topics
dealt with in our Hot Topics section.
Apologetics - Providing an Answer to
Everyone Who Asks
Y-Jesus. A
web site about the facts about Jesus, presented by scholars. Y-Jesus
attempts to present the evidence for Jesus' identity with an even-handed
approach. Who did Jesus really
claim to be? Is the resurrection merely a Sunday school story without evidence?
Has the New Testament account of Jesus been rewritten by conspirators?
Y-Jesus asks the tough questions about
Jesus Christ. This somewhat skeptical approach may threaten some believers
who have never dealt with these issues. Yet, these questions about Jesus are the
hottest topic in the national media. Francis Schaeffer stated that for faith to
have conviction of the whole person, it must be based upon the mind as well as
the heart. Visit

Science and the Bible
New! On-line
Book: "Science Speaks - Scientific Proof of the Accuracy of Prophecy and
the Bible"
By PETER W. STONER, M.S.
and ROBERT C. NEWMAN, S.T.M., Ph.D.
The attack by critics of the Bible has often
come in the name of science. Faith has been threatened because the Bible has
been thought to be in serious error. Today, through the efforts of Christian
scientists, items of conflict between science and the scriptures are being
harmonized. The evidence continues to accumulate in favor of the Bible as the
product of Divine intelligence. Science Speaks is an enlightening comparison
of Biblical truth and the established scientific data. This is an
excellent on-line resource penned by two eminent
scientists on how science and God's are in harmony. Also discusses
prophecy and probability theory. Check it out =>

The Intelligent Design Network.
A non-profit
organization that seeks objectivity in origins science.
The Intelligent Design Network believes objectivity
will lead not only to good origins science, but also to constitutional
neutrality in this subjective, historical science that unavoidably impacts
religion. They promote the scientific evidence of intelligent
design because proper consideration of that evidence is necessary to achieve not
only scientific objectivity but also constitutional neutrality. Includes books, teaching tools, DVDs and videos, and more.
Highly recommended! Visit

The Da Vinci Code: Of Magdalene, Gnostics, the Goddess and
the Grail -
featured web page on The Da Vinci Code, at Leadership U. The web site cites USA Today, "Code' s
popularity shows that 'readers are clamoring for books which combine historic
fact with a contemporary story line,' says Carol Fitzgerald, president of
Bookreporter.com.... 'They say, "I like being able to learn something as
well as read a story".'" This is precisely the problem and the danger --
people today would rather "re-make history" to suit their own tastes and
life-style, rather learn the facts. The Da Vinci Code plays upon
these desires, masquerading as a fictional novel while telling readers or
viewers "the facts". Yes, there may be a few facts, but these few facts
are mixed in with a liberal quantity of distortions and lies. Visit
