2. Finding Resources on Christian "Portals" and Ministry Websites

Several people have gathered Christian-specific materials, chat rooms, bulletin boards, videos, bookstores, and so on, in one place to make it easier to find information of interest to Christians.  These gathering places are known on the Internet as "portals" and serve as entry points or gateways to the Internet.  

Here are two large portals to visit:  

Let's take a look at crosswalk.com and scratch the surface of what they have to offer.  

Click on this link for crosswalk.com to go to the Crosswalk home page and take a look at the variety of information they offer.  Remember to use your BACK button to come back here and continue through the course.

As you can see, they have links to Bible study tools, devotionals, resources for pastors, homeschoolers, teenagers, and just about anything you might be interested in.  

In addition, many ministries have partnered with these large portals to develop and maintain their ministry websites, so you can find links to things like Larry Burkett's "Money Matters." 

Let's take a look at some of the benefits of having this kind of information online on the next page as we try to listen to Larry Burkett's radio program over the Internet.
