It is obvious from the number of website hits that you have provided some valuable information from God&#8217;s word in application to relevant questions today. There are so many questions that are very pertinent to people today. These will be helpful to me in my work as an elder as I deal with people in various situations. This is the <strong>best<\/strong> religious resource I have found on the web &#8212; except for various Bible versions.<\/p>\n<p>After reading a Q&amp;A response from one of the married couples who were studying through some of your material on marriage together, I decided my wife and I should start studying together at least one of the questions in your Q&amp;A each evening as a type of devotional. In the past, we have done the bulk of our Bible study independently. She prepares for the children&#8217;s classes, and I for the teenagers to adult classes. I am thinking about putting an adult class together based on cherry-picking through your Q&amp;As. Some of these questions really make people think.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you so much for sharing your work. I read your bio, and I can see your critical thinking, learned from programming, coming out in your Q&amp;A work: I am an engineer, so I greatly appreciate your logical use of Scripture. I hope the Lord continues to bless you with opportunities to continue this work in the future.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, I mentioned your site to my son who is a good Bible student.
