I have added Bible Study Links for those that are interested in increasing their knowledge in God’s Holy Word. Many readers of my website have emailed me asking why I have chosen to limit my links to the King James Version (KJV) version only; my answer is simply this - this is the version I use and accept and I make no excuses or apologies! I hope you enjoy these links. The study of the Bible is not a boring subject. Please Email me if you have a question.
King James Version Bible (KJV) - The KJV is the first version of Scripture authorized by the Protestant church and commissioned by England's King James I. King James Dictionary - The King James Bible has stood its ground for nearly 400 years. However, during that time the English language has changed. With it has changed the meaning of some words used in the KJV. Here are over 800 words whose definitions have changed since 1611. Easton's Bible Dictionary - Easton's Bible Dictionary was authored by Matthew George Easton (1823-1894). In addition to his Bible dictionary, this Scottish Presbyterian's most significant literary achievements were his English translations of two of Franz Delitzsch's commentaries. Strong's Exhaustive Concordance - The Strong's Exhaustive Concordance is the most complete, easy-to-use, and understandable concordance for studying the original languages of the Bible. Combining the text of the King James Bible with the power of the Greek and Hebrew Lexicons, any student or pastor can gain a clear understanding of the Word to enrich their study.
The following links are government links I feel you will benefit from. They are general in nature and are intended to be a starting point for answers to your major questions and information. If you have a link you would like to share please email me with the details. I firmly believe that it's the job of every American to oversee their government; particularly in countries, like the US, where the government is founded on the will of the people.
In order to do that, we have to know what the government is doing. But we are very fortunate. We live in an age when it's easy to keep an eye on them, and takes mere moments to tell them where we stand on the issues, and whether we are pleased with the way they have voted, and the decisions they have made.
I present this list, in the hopes that it will make it easier for you to let them know where you stand.
Federal Governments
Senators Roll Call Votes - Don't listen to what they say; look at how they vote! Then let them know if you're happy with their votes, or unhappy.
Find your Senators - Let your senators know what you think about the topics. They can't speak for you if they don't know what you would say!
United States Senate - Find out what the current bills really say, read the Congressional Record, and more.
Supreme Court of the United States - The official site of the Supreme Court. Don't just accept whatever the pundits say about Supreme Court decisions. Read the full text here.
United States House of Representatives - Read the current bills, find out what is being debated, see this week's schedule, and more.
Office of the Clerk - US House of Representatives - Find out all kinds of things about the House. This is where you can read the minutes of the Floor proceedings (be aware that they read from bottom to top,) find out about committees, read the lobbying disclosures, and more.
Write to your Representative - Find out who is representing you, and let them know where you stand on the issues. After all, they can't represent you if they don't know where you stand!
Representative Roll Call Votes - See how your representatives are voting now, and how they voted in the past (all the way back to 1990, as of this writing.) Then let them know if they are really representing you, or not!
The White House - Read what the President and Vice President are doing, look at the Agenda they have posted, and give them feedback! This administration makes that easy.
The Congressional Quarterly - Read what the pundits read, and then decide for yourself if it's as unbiased as it says it is.
Executive Branch - The executive branch of the government is responsible for enforcing the laws of the land. The president, vice president, department heads (cabinet members), and heads of independent agencies carry out this mission
Judicial Branch - Courts decide arguments about the meaning of laws and how they are applied. They also decide if laws violate the Constitution—this is known as judicial review, and it is how federal courts provide checks and balances on the legislative and executive branches.
Judicial Branch - Courts decide arguments about the meaning of laws and how they are applied. They also decide if laws violate the Constitution—this is known as judicial review, and it is how federal courts provide checks and balances on the legislative and executive branches.
Legislative Branch - Article I of the Constitution establishes the legislative or law making branch of government. It has a two-branch Congress—the Senate and the House of Representatives—and agencies that support Congress.
