The following websites have information that I consider worth knowing for reasons that appear on those pages. My summaries below will provide some idea of what the website covers.
In Gen. 2:18, YHWH* said, "It is not good for the man to be alone" (NASB). Aloneness exists even in marriages and in crowds. This ministry offers help for married folks and singles who need to develop more intimate relationships. My wife and I consider the Intimate Encounters course created by this ministry to be the most valuable ever offered at the church we attend. Highly recommended.
If you're having financial trouble, this ministry offers guidance and information that may help.
Highly recommended for information on what to eat to get healthy and stay healthy. My wife and I lost a lot of weight following the dietary recommendations at this web site. The minister who maintains the web site was cured of colon cancer many years ago by changing his diet. I believe that this ministry can help anyone who takes their advice seriously.
If you or someone you love has weight or other health problems, you may find helpful information at this website.
[From the 'About Us' page at Samaritan's Purse:] "For over 35 years, Samaritan's Purse has done our utmost to follow Christ's command by going to the aid of the world's poor, sick, and suffering. We are an effective means of reaching hurting people in countries around the world with food, medicine, and other assistance in the Name of Jesus Christ. This, in turn, earns us a hearing for the Gospel, the Good News of eternal life through Jesus Christ."My wife and I have donated through this ministry, for example, for victims of the earthquake in Haiti and of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. It is not the only place to make such donations, but the commitment to lift up Jesus Christ and their performance make a difference that matters to us.
An excellent resource for Bible and other studies. The interlinear Bible sometimes helps me understand difficult passages or those that I believe may not have been translated well. The Net Bible can be downloaded into your computer, onto your Kindle and onto your cell phone, as well as other devices. I find it a valuable resource, along with my others.

Persecution and oppression of Christians around the world has increased as evangelical Christians have begun following Jesus' Great Commandment. The fear and insecurity of dictatorial and oppressive governments has grown as the numbers of Christians has grown, especially in house churches. The following websites provide information about that persecution and oppression. If you'd like to participate in praying for our brothers and sisters, I subscribe to the news reporting service of Compass Direct and would love to send reports to you. Just open my Contact page and let me know you'd like to join us in that endeavor.
*YHWH or YHVH is the English representation of the four Hebrew letters that spell the name of the God of the Bible, the one true, living God worshipped by Jews and Christians. YHWH was the name by which he identified himself to Moses in Ex. 3:14. According to references that I've read, the exact pronunciation of YHWH's name was lost in antiquity, but the generally accepted pronounciation in common English is "Yah-weh" or "Yah-way". Some translations of the Bible, such as the KJV and NASB, substitute "the LORD" for his name, following a practice begun before Jesus' birth.
YHWH revealed himself in various ways to the children of Israel in the Hebrew Bible, which Christians call the Old Testament. He also revealed himself in and through his son Jesus Christ and acts, among other ways, in and through Christians by the Holy Spirit. Because the word "God" is being used today to designate all kinds of human inventions, although accepted for centuries in English as a name for YHWH, I prefer to use the name that YHWH chose for himself rather than "God" or "the LORD" as I did in early versions of my writings. Please read The Name of the One True, Living God for a fuller discussion.
