Website Favorites - Part One: LEARN THE BIBLE (LTB)

www.learnthebible.org

General


Some internet sites have a lot of information, not very well organized. Some sites have great organization, but are lacking in useful information. Perhaps the site looks great because of the excellent web-page design, but content leaves much to be desired. Stil yet, there are web sites that are designed to be well pleasing to the eye and have marvelous content, containing great articles, perhaps some multimedia to download.


Learn The Bibleis one such web sight that is very well set up. Of course, I say this because it does not contain a lot of flashy foolishness (or a lot of FLASH content, if any). As one who uses a dial up internet connection, a lot of bells and whistles and auto-playing MIDI and Quicktime files tend to really slow my computer down. However, the main page of this site shows you the main categories that you can choose from: Creation Science, Baptist Origins, Cults. There is a menu bar at the top. I won't go over all the details of the site, but will just touch on a couple of my favorite features.

Subscribe To Email Newsletter


First, the email newsletter comes on a weekly basis, sometimes less often. This means that it is not flooding your inbox on a daily basis. This is good if you have a fairly busy life but want to get a little extra Bible study time in. The key features of the email newsletter is that it covers a certain portion of scripture. Fill-in-the-blank statements are given that help you to lookat the scripture and evaluate what it says. This section is followed by another that looks at the scripture, and the fill-in-the-blank statements to discover the meaning of the passage. For


For further study, there are generally links given in the various sections that are related to other articles on Learn The Bible .


The very last section of the email is the complete King James Version (KJV) of the passage for pondering. I suppose that it is there in case you do not have immediate access to a Bible, whether physical or virtual. Whatever the reason href="www.learnthebible.org">Learn The Bible puts it there, it is useful for a couple of reasons.


  1. Print it out and put in your own notes and markings.

  2. Copy and paste the passage (or any part of the email) into a word processor for further editing by highlighting, underlining, making your own comments, etc.

Questions and Answers


This is a very interesting section as Pastor Regan and a few others answer Bible related questions. They clear up a few misconceptions, explain things that are difficult to understand, and cover the gamut of all kinds of other questions that may not be about Bble content, but in relation to just Bible topics in general. If that doesn't make sense, try looking at the following link. Its not really about a regular KJV content question, but one of the many study Bibles available.

Outlines With Sermon Audio


This area of LTB contains some audio sermons in the MP3 format. One cool creature feature here is that not only do you have the option of listening online, but you can choose to download the MP3 for later listening. Now this is a real blessing for those of us on pokey-slow dial up. Not only that, but a triple cool creature feature is that most of the sermons come with an outline for printing or saving. Cool, huh?


The End, for now.
