Some Christian Online Teaching Helps I Have Found Useful

I hope you will indulge me and allow me a break from my note uploading from the CSST Summer school on ‘The Doctrine of God’ and allow me to share some selected Christian helps that have been of benefit for me online and on iTunes.

The local church is unique and it can be easy to get wrapped up in all these big names and big ministries many of which are indeed great and useful. We must never try to find some sort of online church and neglect meeting with our own local church meetings and sitting under the preaching we have from there. You can’t replace real one to one, face to face fellowship with a few online sermons and some big famous preacher interviewing another big famous preacher. However to supplement all that I have found these particularly useful:

Warning!!!! Don’t make the mistake I make, downloading, [trying to] read & listen to everything – it’s not helpful, trust me! Just pick a couple/few, note the rest down & go back later.

YOUTUBE – this one is definitely in order of preference

ill be honest

Dr. Oakley1689 – great for apologetics/other faiths/emergent – this guy is a DON! His ministry website is - www.aomin.org

not your typical negro – you have to take some stuff with a pinch of salt, and not get obsessed but this guy points out some flaws in the Word of faith/hyper charismatic movement, remember to check ALL things with scripture.
