Links

I have transferred many of my links to The List  (HTML)   (PDF).  I list every doctrinal church which I am aware of, listed by state location.  Their website, location, pastor and web resources are all listed.  Also in this list are all books which have been exegeted (verbally taught audio and in written form) along with certain websites where a number of doctrines are available.  This list was updated July 13, 2008.

All of the teachers on The List provide oral teaching of the Word of God for no charge, regardless of your geographical location.  If you do not live near a church which values the teaching of God’s Word, then you need to be learning from one of the pastors below.  All of them provide access to the teaching for free, so you are not bound by your financial inabilities. 

These are brick and mortar churches and ministries which require support.  If you have the means to support them, then please do.  However, I have linked only to sites/pastors/churches whose financial policy is: (1) Get out the Word of God; (2) God will provide the means by which to do this; (3) an individual’s financial constraints should not bar him or her from the teaching of God’s Word.

I have also listed missionaries and a variety of other Christian ministries.  Most of them require financial support, and I urge you to support them as well.

It is important to point out two things: (1) I am not a pastor-teacher; in my lifetime, I hope to fully examine a dozen or so books in greater detail than is found anywhere else, and to leave these posted as reference material; however, the average believer is not going to get much out of what I have posted here.  My intention is, to post this material for pastor-teachers, seminary students, Sunday school teachers, and anyone else who needs to examine the books and doctrines which I have examined on this site.  I have done the essential grunt work, e.g., the word-by-word examination of each verse of certain books, like Samuel, Judges, Chronicles (some of these are works in progress).  (2) If you are a new believer, then you need to be under the teaching of a pastor-teacher and not wandering around out there on your own.   I have listed below those who appear to have a doctrinal ministry, and you should place yourself under the authority of one of these men and grow spiritually.  If you are not near any of these churches, there are ways that you can benefit from their ministry online; and many of these churches have offshoots by way of small groups who gather in places far from the church, but study under this or that pastor.  Let me add this for the new believer: money is not an issue and money should never be an issue.  If you are a new believer, a financially strapped believer, a reasonably suspicious believer, then get with one of these ministries, grow spiritually, and do not even think about giving them money until you have spiritually grown.  At some point in time, not only will you have the wherewithall to give but you will also want to give.  Until then, leave your checkbook at home.  Not one of these ministries will ask you for money or embarrass you when it comes to monetary concerns.

  • Missionaries, Evangelists:

    • Missionary List.  These are doctrinal missionaries and links to them.
    • Max Klein (Missionary in Asia)
    • Darryl and Nita Anderson (Mindanao, in the Philippines)
    • Rick Hughes, Evangelist
    • Gary Horton, Evangelist
    • Here are two more links to Doctrinal Churches: A list which I copied from Delphi Forum and a direct link to Delphi Forum
    • In examining the sites above, what seems to be the primary purose is to teach the Word of God.  At this critical point in time in the United States, nothing is more important than our spiritual growth.  The men and churches listed above seem to fully understand that.  How you go as a believer in Jesus Christ is going to determine the future of this great nation that we live in.

  • Doctrinal Forum:

    • Delphi Forum is where several doctrinal believers gather to visit; it also is a place where you might find some like-minded people, if you are taking in doctrine in an isolated area.
  • Online Exegetical Studies
    • Most of the links here are studies which you can get online for specific books of the Bible.  Some of the studies must be ordered, but, for the most part, they can be ordered online.  I only post those links where their giving policy is compatible with grace (that is, if you are broke, they are going to send you lessons anyway)

  • Other Doctrinal Resouces:
    • Charles Clough Ministries: What used to be available in print by Clough is found here on this website as notes and in mp3 format.
  • Free Online Bible Software:
    • E-sword  For those of you who have computers, particularly laptops, e-sword is the place to go for a laptop Bible.  The last time I looked, Rick Meyers provides free of charge an outstanding laptop Bible program featuring over 25 English translations along with various Greek and Hebrew manuscripts along with over 30 foreign language versions of Scripture.  In addition to this, Rick also provides at his site, free of charge, some excellent commentaries (well, some are so-so).  I have never talked to Rick, nor do I know anything about his theology; however, anyone who has devoted himself to getting out the Word of God as he has, must be on the right side of God.  When on vacation, I used to lug around a half dozen books to study from; now I take my laptop with e-sword and one volume of Owen, and I am good to go.  By the way, I have paid for one or two versions of various e-Bibles; I don’t use them.  I do use Rick’s e-sword, even on my home computer where I do most of my studying.  This is by far the best free software available on the internet.  I use my e-sword daily.  They will freely provide you with dozens of different translations of the Bible; there are a handful which are available, but must be paid for.  In addition, you can get the Greek text of the New Testament (Westcort-Hort, Textus Receptus, the Byzantine Text, all keyed to Strong's numbers); Hebrew texts; Greek and Hebrew Lexicons; and great exegesis by Keil & Delitzsch, Barnes, Clarke and Gill; along with several Bible dictionaries and encyclopedias.  There are additional Bibles and Commentaries for E-sword which are user-created.  There are many people out there who believe in providing spiritual information for those who are interested, which includes a number of new translations which you probably have not heard of before.
    • Online Bible also provides free Bible software.   My problem with this is, it does not feel like a finished product and it lacks the intuitiveness (is that a word?) of e-sword.  However, what online Bible has that e-sword does not is the Greek Septuagint and the morphology and the Strong's keying for the LXX.  I run online Bible for that feature only. 
    • The Sword Project is very similar to e-sword, but it isn't quite as good (in my opinion).  However, to each his own.  It is also free.

  • Other Ministries:
    • Thru the Bible Radio: J. Vernon McGee posthumously teaches God’s Word all over this globe.  For 25 minutes a day, he comes on the radio and teaches every book of the Bible, chapter by chapter.  It takes 5 years to go through the Bible with McGee.  If you go nowhere else, find the station where McGee broadcasts in your area (there are probably several) and listen to him religiously.  Regardless of your predispositions, you will learn to appreciate his teaching.  Now, I don’t know if McGee speaks with a drawl in heaven, but he certainly does here on earth.  Do not let that throw you off.  Furthermore, he often sounds simple and simplistic.  Do not be misled by that.  McGee was a brilliant man whose teaching is deceptively deep and rarely inaccurate.  There are many times that he takes the most complex doctrines and makes them understandable to believers whose human IQ is below the norm.  He had a gift for making the difficult doctrines of Scripture seem simple.

  • Bobby's Links (and others).  Now and again, Bobby will read an article; I thought that it might be helpful to indicate where these articles might be found on the Internet.  Since I primarily listen to Bobby and write, I don't catch any of the references which others, such as Joe Griffin, might give.  If you are aware of an article which a doctrinal pastor reads, and it is an article which you found to be interesting, relevant, and/or important, contact me and give me the pertinent information.  If they thought it was worth mentioning during Bible class, chances are, I will list it here as well.






Disclaimer: Some of the videos and websites below can be quite disconcerting; although there are a lot of political overtones in the links below, bear in mind, our war is spiritual.  Satan is the author and father of hatred, and this is what he hopes to inspire in all mankind.  Bear in mind that, our best offense and defense is a soul filled with the doctrine of God's Word.

It is also noteworthy that Satan is the great counterfeiter as well.  In the end times, there will be wars and great misery; and Jews will be found in every nation, who will be the evangelists during the 7 years of the Tribulation.  Satan, as a counterfeiter, has made certain that there are great numbers of Muslims scattered throughout every nation, and that their presence will cause great disruption, as a counterfeit of the coming Tribulation.

Also, bear in mind, that despite the large numbers of Muslims in the United States, we have had a minimum number of internal attacks, compared to other countries, and countries with much less freedom.  It is not our job as believers to cause any harm to our Muslim neighbors or to the places where they worship.  Our weapon is the truth, not violence and not political activism.
  • Videos: I have come across some amazing videos on the internet which are well worth watching.
  • Islam Links:
    • Jefferson's Quran (Koran).  Do you know the story behind Thomas Jefferson owning a copy of the Koran?  Was Jefferson just a man out there searching for truth, and did he hope to find it in the Koran?  Second Link.  Third Link.  Fourth Link.  HTML   PDF  
    • Islam: the Religion of Peace.  The latest statistics as to the number of attacks throughout the world by Islamic terrorists and how many they have killed.  The basic details for just the past 3 months can be found a third of the way down the page and continues for the rest of the page.  The number of incidents is mind-boggling.  I guess there are just too many for our papers to report?  There are also stats on this page about the collateral damage in Iraq from US led troops compared to the innocents who are killed by Islamic terrorists.  Also see this link: Iraqi Body Count.
    • No Substitute for Victory.
    • www.Jihadwatch.org.

  • Immigration Reform:



  • Current Politics:
    • Many have said that Barack Obama is intelligent and articulate and not a rehash of the same old same old.  I don't quite agree, and I have posted my thoughts at Obama HQ. 

    • The Text of Romney's "Religion" Speech:  12/8/07  This is an outstanding speech:   HTML  The actual delivery of this speech is found on YouTube as well.  Part 1   Part II  

    • Rush on Romney's Speech (this is outstanding; also, note how the media speaks with one voice)   HTML 

  • Immigration:
    • This is an excellent, unemotional lecture on immigration; it is engaging, and there are many visual aides.  The gum ball part is the best part, I think.

Stored links which should all be available on The List:


  • Teachers:
    • Austin Bible Church has an excellent set of pastor/church links which Bob Bolender passed along to me.  There will be some duplication below of these links.  Austin Bible Church Pastor Links.  I have made an attempt to take notes from each pastor and these are located on my new Notes Page.  It is going to be awhile before I am able to have notes from each and every doctrinal pastor there.
    • R. B. Thieme III now teaches at Berachah as the pastor and he is doing an outstanding job.  His teaching is highly recommended and available on CD’s as MP3 files.  I personally hope that Bobby teaches some of the books which Bob did not (there are several Old Testament books and two gospels which never received a verse by verse analysis by Bob). On this website, a handful of downloadable MP3 files are available; however, you must order from the church directly in order to receive complete studies.  You may do this by phone or by mail; I don't think that they have email access to their ordering (insofar as I know). THEY WILL NEVER ASK YOU FOR MONEY.  My point being is, even though they do not put all of his content on the internet, they do not want you to contact them directly so they can ask for money.  I think they are more concerned with copyright issues.
    • R. B. Thieme Jr. pastored Berachah Church in Houston, Texas for over 50 years.  Although he does have his critics, he faithfully taught the Word of God as often as 9 times a week.  Without going into any detail, my feeling is that his teachings between 1960 and 1975 are the best, and these lessons are available as MP3 files on CD’s (and probably on cassette as well) from R. B. Thieme Jr. Ministries.  There are several important aspects to his ministry: (1) the daily teaching of the Word of God from his pulpit; (2) the careful teaching of mechanics, something almost unheard of except in Berachah Church (at least for several decades; that has since changed); (3) the careful, verse by verse exegetical study of complete books (almost the entire Bible); and (4) his grace ministry—you will receive tapes and booklets from Berachah, despite your ability to pay for them.  Furthermore, they will never put you on a mailing list or later send out a desperate plea for financial help. MP3 (and other formats) of his teaching are available.  Let me commend to you the 1969 Basic series, and make sure that you ask for the 1969 basic introduction lessons (there are two).  You may think you know something about theology, but you will be surprised as to how much information Bob taught his congregation in this basic series.
    • Country Bible Church (Pastor Mike Smith): I have not listened to Mike yet, but this appears to have a legitimate ministry.  His lessons are available for free as MP3 downloads.
    • Desert Valley Church of Tucson (Chet Pittman, pastor-teacher): Most or all of the material on this website are in written format.
    • Doctrinal Studies Bible Church (Ron Adema, pastor): I don't believe that I have heard Ron before; however, what I have read on his site appears to be accurate and doctrinal.  When it comes to navigating his site for audio teaching, it is there; but it does require a search to find it.
    • Grace Atlanta Bible Church (Reverend Henry Hastings III): I heard Hastings on several occasions, and he is very good.  His lessons are available for free as MP3 downloads.
    • Grace Bible Church (Robert McLaughlin, pastor): I don't recall if I have heard McLaughlin before or not; however, everything which I have read on his site appears to be doctrinal.  He has lessons available online for free in MP3 and video format.
    • Grace Doctrine Church (Joe Griffin, pastor): Joe is also an excellent Bible teacher.  His lessons are available for free as MP3 downloads.
    • Dr. James A. Brettell pastor in Little Rock, Arkansas.
    • Preston City Bible Church: It appears as if they are in some sort of a transition phase.
    • Tetelestai Church (pastor Alan R. Knapp): This church is located in Forest Hills, PA.  Most of these churches have smaller groups that meet all over the United States (and sometimes, even, in foreign countries).  For example, believers in this church gather in the following areas: Nashville, Tennessee;  Knoxville, Tennessee;  Apalachin, New York;  Mount Laurel, New Jersey;  Grass Valley, California;  North Augusta, South Carolina;  Ontario, Canada;  Little Hocking, Ohio;  Tucson, Arizona;  Bakersfield, California;  Kilauea, Hawaii;  Thousand Oaks, California;  Troup, Texas.  My point in this is, find a pastor in this group that you feel that you can grow under; and then worry about the logistics of where you will go to listen to them.  Another approach is, examine their websites, see where they have additional ministries, and if one is close to you, then check it out.  I rarely go in to the main church that I attend; I have always attended an Fx group nearby.  You can grow without physially attending the brick and mortor building; however, you should gather with a group of believers.
    • There is an outstanding list of doctrinal resources found at www.livegodsplan.org.
    • A List of Additional Churches and Pastors by Location (I am hoping that most or all of these are doctrinal teachers).
