Study Resources

February 20, 2006 in Books, Influence with 14 Comments

Someone has asked what type of study resources I use when I am preparing a message or studying for a seminar. I utilize Quickverse Professional as one of my key resources. It has several Bible translations, several conservative commentaries, dictionaries, maps, lexicons, and many other tools to help me in my preparation. The days of needing to purchase sets of commentaries and multi-volume resources are gone. It isn’t cost efficient. You are able to buy a CD resource much cheaper and receive twice the amount of material. I also have a CD version of Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology textbook, this is a really good resource in my opinion. He helps greatly with understanding the doctrines of the faith.

I also use several websites to help in my studying. I go to Crosswalk.com, desiringgod.org, biblegateway.org, bible.org, dictionary.com, and other trusted pastor’s recommendations. The wealth of reputable material on the web is incredible. I always try to back something up a couple of times if I get info from the web, I want to make sure it is correct.

    Do you have a favorite translation of the Bible? If yes, which one and why?

    I am really enjoying the resource: studylight.org It has commentaries and devotions and a search by key word Bible resource. Since there are not many Christian books here in Thailand, I am using this site for my quiet time. I always make sure I spend time with my Lord before I start on anything else. Otherwise, your ministry can get sidetracked and become your own agenda. Remember the first commandment: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. Second is to minister to others. You cant love others like Christ unless you are IN LOVE with God first.

    Richard,Good to see you weigh in. I use the NASB for study. I preach most often out of the NASB, but use the NIV at times becuase of the readability, based on what the passage is saying.
