Worthy Links to the Outside World


by WordExplain



The following links have particular relevance to WordExplain.com.  I do not recommend everything on these sites, but there is something of value in each.



















Sunset over the Sea of Galilee


  • Worthy Links -  Links to other note-worthy web sites.

    • Long ago I realized that I am not God's gift to everyone.  In seminary, Dr. Howard Hendricks warned us against trying to build our own kingdom. Our goal, he suggested, was to combine forces to build up the Kingdom of God!

    • In that spirit I have selectively constructed links to other web sites that are noteworthy.  

    • Most are in the Christian world, but not all.  God's blessings are to be shared, not hoarded.  Committed Christian brothers are fellow-workers, not competitors.  

    • I have included some local links from Chase County, Kansas, which has an identity all its own!

    • I do not endorse every item on every web site.  Use your own discretion!
