I do enjoy writing about Bible topics, although I often don’t on my blog. Sometimes I feel the urge to, but I tend to stay away from them. Part of it has to do with my behavior, part of it has to do with I’m not sure who the audience for my blog is. People stumble across through all kinds of search terms. Recently I came across a comment about God speaking through Balaam’s ass (donkey in the King’s English) and I realized that perhaps I am qualified to occasionally speak on such topics on my blog.
When I first started studying the Bible, I had all kinds of questions and a huge Internet. I spend a lot of time on sites that today I frankly would avoid. Sometimes the site is just not well made, other times the site uses poor logic and writing or takes a strange doctrinal stance. I’ve never really enjoyed searching for a certain topic, finding a site in Google that seems to have the answer, and landing on a page promising if I spend $150 for a DVD series, I’ll get my answer. I’m not disparaging anybody’s attempts to make money from research, work, and production, but that did me little good when I didn’t have the money.
There are lots of good, free resources for studying that Bible online, but finding them is not always easy. I’ll start you with a good one. Calvary Chapel of Hope on Long Island offers several of Chuck Smith’s books for free in online format. I’ll post some of my other resources later.
