The following resources are offered for serious consideration of the origin and destiny
of man. In fact, many of these links will take you to Bible study materials that are definitely not for beginners.
Several of the following links are to free e-Books. They are complete, full-length, unedited books
(in Adobe .pdf files), ready to study or print. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for
you as you search for the real meaning of life...and death.
More titles will be added as they become available,
but you are encouraged to go to the following sites for much more material than can be included in this list.
Note from RB: I know Jeff Smelser, personally. I have found him to be a careful student and teacher
of Greek, both from his reputation among Greek students and from personal experience in hearing him teach.
In particular, check out this page, which contains links to a number of excellent Bible studies on many different subjects--some of which are definitely NOT
for the faint of heart--including several by local evangelist and elder, Maurice Barnett. Links on Calvinism and substitutionary
atonement, as well as Barnett's studies on the nature of the Lord's supper are especially valuable. Pack a lunch before
you go to this site, because you'll be there for a long time.
The elders of the Centerville Road church with elder/preacher Gene Taylor, have put together a very excellent site of
original materials. If you need Bible Study outlines or study guides, this site is one of the best!
A wonderful group of loving and faithful saints. Be sure to check out their gospel singing, led by (if my hearing has correctly identified the voice) Roger Bruner.
For our family, the Westside church is "home," having nurtured our children through their early years, loving us,
and (especially) caring for "Grandma" for so many years, after we moved on to other pastures of labor. Write me
a note, and I'll tell you about when I baptized "Grandma," who was my wife's dear mother.

The Interactive Bible, by Steve Rudd, is Satan's worst enemy. You will love it--or
hate it, depending on your respect for the Word of God.
If you want to be challenged on many themes or to discover
what the scriptures actually teach, without denominational bias, this is the site you need! But, be sure you have plenty
of time, because this site has (literally) dozens of pathways and destinations for study.
This is one of my personal favorites, as Dr. Carver is one of my heroes! He was an American of extraordinary wisdom:
the kind of wisdom we are greatly in need of, today. What an amazing man!
There are LOTS of churches in the world, right? But, what if ALL of them were less than what God would have them
to be? What if it could be seen that they are less than--yet far more--than what Christ established and called, "...My
church" (Bible/New Testament in Matthew 16:18)? What if there is a truly undenominational alternative
to the religious division in the world?
Many people are troubled at the position that female leadership is not authorized in scripture. This study is
a carefully researched and well-written reply to those who attempt to place women in roles of leadership that God has not
defined for them.
However, in one respect, Dave Miller has entirely missed the mark, denying to qualified and
spiritual woman one of the specific areas of service God has authorized.
