Resources

After our Bible study discussion last night, I decided that instead of writing a devotional post today, I would give you a few resources to check out. If you want to know more about the Bible, church history, Christian doctrine, or something similar, these are good places to start. I've kept the technical stuff off the list, so these should be accessible for everyone.
