This is a
list of pages and resources that I really enjoy and have helped me to
understand Jesus and the Scriptures. Although the only resource that
we need is the Bible, it is
nice to have some wise people help us learn how to understand it;
always
remembering that the Holy Spirit is the authoritative teacher and is
solely concerned with directing our minds to Jesus, who is Truth and
Life.
I
hope these are helpful to those who investigate them further. Feel
free to comment any other resources you have/know of.

Professor Grant Horner's Bible Reading Plan
is one of the best, most comprehensive plans I've ever seen, and
used. This PDF includes and explanation of where Horner came from,
how to use the plan [and why], including a printable page of
bookmarks, if you wish to use them. I have been using this for the
past year and it has greatly blessed me. I highly, highly recommend
using this system.

Dr. Neil Nedley is a very wise and knowledgeable man of God. His lectures
are very logical, scientific and easy to understand, but yet teach us
about the way in which God desires for us to live, eat, and conduct
ourselves. He deals with a lot of topics relating to emotional
disorders and depression.
My favorite
presentation of his, is “Heavenly Music: Starting Now” which I believe, is on the second page of
his index. However, all lectures of his, which I've listened to have
been very enlightening and edifying.

Christian Berdahl is a very interesting man and has a very unique
testimony. He focuses on music quite a bit but also has a lot to
say about how important it is to guard your mind and give your entire
focus in life to Jesus, in order to disciple to others and do other
work for the Lord.
My personal
favorite presentation of his is “Distraction Dilemma – Exposing Distractions and Dangers in Music” (this
is speaking of worldly music and misguided genres of “Christian”
music). His testimony (the 2 hour version) is also very compelling and shows very
clearly how God was leading his life.

Of course
Walter Veith has to be on this list. He was my first adventist
teacher, before I started attending church again. His lectures were
instrumental in drawing my attention back to Jesus and helping me
realize that the Father loves us with a love beyond what we can even
imagine. His lectures cover a myriad of topics: from Evolution vs.
Creation, to Health, to the Reformation, to the End Times – a study
mostly concerning the Sanctuary, Daniel and Revelation—and the fulfillment of Biblical Prophecy throughout history. There are a few
other topics as well.
Repairing the Breach [this, and Total Transformation is more for those who
are already Christian and are interested in knowing more in-depth how
to understand God's will for our lives and a few other interesting
points of view]
Walter Veith's testimony is very intriguing as well. I personally enjoy
hearing testimonies because it shows me how real God is in our lives,
if we invite Him to be, and also shows where this person has been and
what gives them the knowledge and experience to know what they're
talking about in their ministry.

These are a
few of my favorite Bible sites/apps. I have android (Google Play)
but perhaps you can find them on your own “market”/”store”
You Version
is a great Bible site and app.
It also allows you to keep track of multiple reading plans,
highlight passages, bookmark passages and more. I use it to keep
track of my Prof. Horner Bible System.
Bible.is
is also a very cool site. I don't believe there are reading plans on
it, but it does have very well done audio-bibles. You can choose
many different languages and translations and can also choose
between dramatic readings (basically voice acting, background music,
and sound effects), or non-dramatic readings. On the app,
you can also download chapters of the audio-bible so that you can
listen later, offline. You could even download the entire bible if
you wish.
Remember Me is a really great site for aiding in memorizing Bible
passages. This is something that I desire to do, but have trouble
in doing so this app/site has helped quite a bit. The site is more
of just keeping a record of your verses and perhaps adding more, but
the app
is where it really comes alive. You can use many different
techniques of practicing the verses, and you can move the verses from
“New” to “Due” to “Known.” When you feel confident that
you know the verse, you can record yourself saying the verse on a
virtual “card” and then flip the “card” over and listen to
your recording to see if you were correct.
This Bible app is fairly unassuming, to the naked eye, but if you're
interested in history and want to read many “old fashioned”
translations, such as the Geneva Bible, or Webster's Bible, or
Young's Literal Translation, this is a great app. It also has many
Bibles of other languages, like Greek, Indonesia Baru, Ostervald,
Martin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are
just a very few of my favorite resources, and apps. I will add some
more later on too. I have found many online study courses and Bible
Study sites, if anyone is in need of some.
Have a good
night and a blessed week!
Amanda
I have been meaning to try several of these.. With your recommendation I will!
