ight HouseThe following is a list of links to some of my favorite web sites. Just click on any link to go directly to the corresponding site. These sites are not listed in any particular order.
Freedom Baptist Church (coming soon)
This is the web site to my home church.Mt. Zion Baptist Church
If you have listened to very many of the recorded church services on this web site, you have no doubt heard a few sermons preached by Troy Daily. Troy, a great friend and my former Sunday School Teacher was one of Freedom Baptist's resident preachers. Eventualy Troy was called to pastor another church (Mt. Zion Baptist Church). If you have enjoyed listening to the sermons Troy preached at Freedom Baptist, you will want to check out this site where you can learn more about Mt. Zion Baptist Church and even listen to their church services just as you are able to listen to services of Freedom Baptist Church on this site. If you visit the site, go to the "contact us" link and drop Troy a line to let him know how you have enjoyed visiting the site. It will be a blessing to him and the designer of their web site.Wings of Faith
The Wings of Faith are my favorite gospel singing group as well as my good friends. Many of the songs they sing, they have written themselves. Their music is full of gospel messages of uncompromising truth which can uplift the poor in spirit, heat up the luke warm, and convict the lost soul. The best thing I know to say about this group is that their lives reflect what they sing about. They are real. They do it all for the glory of God. Their hearts desire is to see lost souls saved. I'm blessed to have them as friends. Order a CD from their web site to see what I mean, or even better, book an appointment with them to visit your church.Carolyn Johnson
This gospel singer pours every thing she has into singing a song of praise. Aside from a beautiful singing voice, just seeing her passion and love for the Lord as she sings is a blessing and a witness of itself. This lady is just as likely to break out and start singing in a restaurant as she is in church! I know, I've seen her do it! I know her, not only as a singer of the gospel, but as a friend as well. On her web site you can book an appointment and order her recordings.Cross TV
Much of the preaching and teaching of the gospel you will find on television today is either corrupt or so watered down that it is hardly worth watching. There are a few exceptions however and the programming produced by Cross TV is one of them. You will not find their programs on any of the major Christian networks such as TBN however, because they refuse to water down the truth to a standard that meets their agenda. Cross TV is not afraid to teach about Hell and they make no compromise in teaching that the only way to avoid Hell is to be saved by coming through the door which is Jesus Christ. If you are not fortunate enough to live in an area where you can receive the broadcasts of Cross TV, you can visit their web site where yo can read about and order any of their teaching programs on tape or CD. Cross TV offers the best, most honest teaching of the gospel I have ever heard.Way of the Master
Every person on this planet should hear the messages available on this web site! Have you ever been frustrated by just not being able to get through to someone when trying to witness to someone about the gospel of Jesus Christ? Have you ever known of someone who makes a profession of being saved and then in a very short time, you find that they are right back where they were a short time before, living just as ungodly a life as ever? Wonder why? The teachings of sharing your faith effectively found on this web site may very well answer that question. The above link takes you to the main site from which you can access all kinds of good information and order various teaching kits for specific situations. However due to the size of this web site you may not stay there long enough or may have trouble finding the FREE downloads of two of the greatest teachings I have ever heard on sharing your faith. Follow this path to access these free lessons: From the home page, select "Tools" then select "Free audio lessons". You may notice that I have bragged on TWO great teachings sites in a row... Cross TV and The Way of the Master. It should then come as no great surprise that one of the teachers of The Way of the Master program is also one of the teachers of the Cross TV programs!Tom Papania
Tom Papania is a minister of the gospel who was once a high ranking member in organized crime. Reading his testimony alone is worth the visit to his web site.Charlie Daniels
Some may find it surprising to hear that Charlie Daniels is a Christian. Well, he is. He's not your average celebrity type of Christian either; I believe he's got the real thing. Check out his Christian music CDs, "The Door" and "Steel Witness". Also when visiting his web site check out the "Soapbox" section where Charlie expresses his views on just about everything. The things he writes in the soapbox section of his web site and the lyrics of the Christian songs he writes show a real understanding and reverence toward the Word of God.WHCB Radio
My favorite Christian radio station. It's not my favorite station because of the music. Actually, I prefer more traditional gospel music than they play. So why is it my favorite gospel radio station? well, they don't play a lot of music at all, but they have many wonderful "teaching" programs that I find edifying and inspiring. If you live in the Northeast Tennessee or Southwest Virginia area catch them at 91.5 FM, otherwise listen to them via the internet!Prophecy Update
A good resource for studying about bible prophecyLife Way Christian Stores
A good source for a variety of items of interest for the Christian, such as bibles, videos, etc... I purposely set this link to take you to one of the items they sell that I like a lot. It is a bookmarker with God's plan of salvation printed on it and is color coded to show the various scriptures pertaining to different aspects of the plan. This is such a simple item, yet it is so valuable. In a moment when you are on the verge of leading someone to Christ, it is handy to have all the scriputres that cover God's plan of salvation all in one place! A friend I've never met, Isaac Hogston gave me one as a gift and that is how I come to know about this item. Persoanally, I believe every Christian who desires to always be ready to lead someone to Christ ought to have one (at least one).Higher Ground Baptist Church
Higher Ground Baptist Church is a very well known church in my hometown of Kingsport, Tennessee. This church is large and has an appearence of prosperity, but don't let that fool you (some people tend to assume that such churches are always about popularity and materialism and teach watered down "feel good" doctrines). This is not always so. It's not so with this church. Sometimes it is simply that they are doing something right and God is pouring out His blessings on them. The sermons and teachings that come out of Higher Ground are sound and straight out of the bible without compromise, or as my friend Melisa Hogston would say... They "preach that fire down from Heaven that stomps on toes with truths that's hard to bare!" If there's any doubt you can go to their web site and listen to some sermons for yourself.Grace to You
John MacArthur is a tell it like it is preacher. On this site you can listen to his sermons and read transcrips of sermons as well as his articles and other teaching materials. He is a feathred guest teacher on Cross TV (see link above). From the Cross TV site you can purchase what i regard as one of the best teachings I have ever heard titled, "Doesn't Anyone Care About the Truth Any More?"Blue Letter Bible
This is a good bible study site. It is particularly good for word studies which I find to be very important for understnding scripture in its proper context. On this site you can cross reference Hebrew and Greek language to English and vise-a-versa. There are also many other bible study tools available on this site.Faith Writers
This is a site where Christians who like to write can post their articles, stories, poems, etc.. It is also a place where those who don't write, but enjoy reading good Christian content will find a ton of stuff to read.Tommy D. Mayo's Southern Gospel Outreach
Tommy D Mayo is a promoter of Southern Gospel Music. The list of artists that makes up his cliental is quite impressive. On this web site you can learn more about Tommy and his business as well as learn some interersting facts about many gospel singing groups. In the very short time that Tommy and I have been corresponding we have developed a good friendship through e-mail correspondance. If you enjoy Southern Gospel Music or are looking for a promoter or singing group to sing at your church or event, check out Tommy's web site!GospelOK
“GospelOk, is a website founded by owners Daniel and Courtney Graves of Yukon, Oklahoma. Daniel and Courtney along with their young son Blake are a solid Christian young couple. The primary purpose of GospelOk, is to offer another outlet for Southern / Country Gospel artists to feature as well as link their Ministries, post their concert dates. Churches and other Ministries are all invited to do the same. Another aspect of GospelOk, that is in the works and planning stages, is an Internet Gospel Music Station, that will cater to all artists that have become a “Featured” Ministry, which would consist mostly of the independant artists, who are very talented vocally, muscianship and song writing abilites. Also, for these independant artists, to have their music heard on a regular basis as most of these artists very seldom get air-play...very little if any. The Internet Station, is scheduled to go online in the Spring of 2008. There will be various “featured” Ministries on Gospel Ok. The Internet Gospel Radio Station, will be completely different and one of it’s kind, as all of the Ministries involved will be working together, lifting up the Lord and striving to be a “Real” blessing to listeners and gospel music fans worldwide”.
