Introducing Resources [1]

I have added a new section to the website for hosting resources [2]. This will help the reader find existing content, such as my sermons, easier. But it is also to host additional content which no longer has a home.

The link can be found in the top menu bar.

When I first began this website, my intention was for it to host all kinds of resources, in particular content (such as Bible studies) which I wrote myself. It soon became clear to me that creating this additional content would be too time consuming to do sustainably. The website then became a blog; and it will primarily remain so.

The reason for this "change" now has a bit of a story. In 2013 I met Michael
Schäfer at an Equip conference [3]. A couple of years ago, he launched a website called Free For All. Here he provided Bible studies which he wrote, but placed in the public domain, making it free and accessible for all. I recently discovered that this website is no longer live. I asked Michael for permission to host these Bible studies to continue having them as free resources, and he agreed.

I feel quite strongly about the matter of copyright [4], and how Christians make their intellectual property (read: the gospel) available to others. It was exciting to see Michael's initiative, because many pastors, preachers and Bible study leaders cannot afford to pay a premium for good resources. By making it freely available, it helps those people get quality Bible training, and serves as an encouragement as well.

I do hope that these resources will be of benefit to my readers, or others of whom they know who may need something like this. Please share freely!
