"The presentation on Sunday is called “Has the Family Tomb of Jesus Been Found?”  This is certainly to be discussed at the water coolers on Monday.  And you as a Christian should be ready with some reasoned questions of your own (asked in the right spirit).  So join me for this special message in our series on Tough Questions – Honest Answers.  And please pray for wisdom and insight for me as I prepare."

"BibleMap.org integrates Google Maps and the ESV text to create an interactive Bible atlas.

You browse to a chapter in the Bible, and all the place names are links. Click one of the names to go that place on the map. Then click the pushpin to show some background information on the place."
