Bible Study Resources

Ever read something in Scriptures and needed some help discerning what is being said?  Ever wish you had something that helped you outline the key verses and points in a section of Scripture?

Visit the God Story section of Fourthstream.com and choose the book you are studying for some resources you may find helpful.  Contact the guys at Fourthstream.com and, if you're nice; they might send you even more notes, curriculum, and other materials that will help you as you discover His story.

While you're there, download or order the Streamsbook.  It's a combined Gospel account that will bring the four Gospels alive to you.  It is also a great thing to read with others who are exploring the Jesus story for the first time.

Church Praxis

Have you ever wondered what you're supposed to revere when you meet a Reverend?

Have you ever heard someone say, "...You can't do that/say that in church!"?

Have you ever wondered why religious traditions are often treated with the same deference as Scripture?

Ever wondered why we spend so much time and money on our buildings?


Perhaps it is because we have been sold the idea that anything besides our souls/spirits and God can be holy.  Have things created to meet a need or to remind us of truth taken root in our hearts as idols?
