Home.
The Home Page
serves
as the "front door" to the web site. It contains the lamb
logo, web site title
"A
21st Century Puritanism" and the web
site menu.
See the topics below for an explanation of the pages linked to by the menu.
The
lamb
logo is a reminder that:
(1)
|
Jesus is the Lamb
of God who was sacrificed for our
sins (John 1:29, 36), and
|
(2)
|
He is the Good
Shepherd who gave His life for
us, His sheep (John
10:11, 14-15).
|
It also suggests the pastoral
setting of rural England in the time
of the Puritans.
Welcome.
The Welcome
Page gives general information about
the author and the web site. You are probably viewing this Site
Map
from the Welcome
Page.
Articles.
The Articles
Page lists the articles which are
maintained at this web site. Many of the articles have been written by
me, but there are also some of my favorite articles by Spurgeon, Edwards,
and others.
Feel free to copy or distribute any of the articles
on the Articles page--I do not copyright my own articles, and the others
are in the public domain as well.
Books.
The Books
Page page provides a listing of books
which I recommend, along with a brief description of each. I confess that
I have not read every book in the list from cover to cover. Still, I have
read at least parts of most of them. I have read all the books by John
Piper cited in the list, and heartily recommend each one. A list of sources
appears at the top of the Index Frame,
in case you are interested in checking prices or availability.
Conferences.
The Conferences
Page provides a monthly listing of
conferences by Calvinistic organizations and speakers, such as R. C. Sproul,
John Armstrong, John Piper, S. Lewis Johnson, John Reisinger, James Boice,
the Southern Baptist Founders Conference, and others. This information
was gleaned primarily from the websites of the organizations sponsoring
the conferences. Each listed conference contains one or more links to the
pages where the conference information was found.
Hymns.
The Hymns
Page lists numerous traditional hymns
and Psalms, along with a few new ones. When you select a hymn, the text
of the hymn appears in the Main Frame
(on the right side of the screen). If you have a sound card and speakers
installed on your system, you can listen to the hymn by operating the embedded
midi-player in the top right corner, or by clicking the name of the tune.
If you would like to continue listening to a hymn while browsing another
part of the website, click one of the links on the "Listen
at:" menu at the bottom of the Title
Frame.
My sources for the text and music of the hymns
include the Cyber
Hymnal, "Hymns for the Family of
God" (Nashville: Paragon Associates, Inc.,
1976), "The
Trinity Hymnal" (Suwanee, GA: Great
Commission Publishers, 1990), "Easy
to Play Hymns" (Suffolk, England: Kevin
Mayhew, Ltd., 1994) and "Isaac Watts: Songs
from the Psalms In the light of the New Testament",
edited
by N. A. Woychuk (St. Louis: SMF Press, 1981).
I am deeply indebted to the Cyber
Hymnal website for some of the midi files. However, most of the
files were entered by hand using the Noteworthy
Composer application, available from Noteworthy
Software, Inc.
Library.
The Library
Page provides links to articles, mostly
on other websites. It is indexed by subject. The alphabet along
the bottom of the Title Frame can
be used to position the Index Frame
to the topics which begin with a given letter.
The inclusion of an article in my library list does not constitute a
full endorsement of all that is said in the article, nor of the author.
I have included these articles because I believe them to be of significant
value. If you find an article which you feel may be incompatible with the
stated purpose and doctrines of this web site, please let me know.
Many of the articles linked on the Library Page are copyrighted by their
respective authors, and you should obtain permission from the author before
copying any of them.
Links.
The Links
Page
provides a list of links to other
recommended websites. Calvinistic websites are emphasized, but you will
also find links to Mission organizations, Christian Publishers and Booksellers,
Cult Resources, etc. The links themselves are divided into five separate
pages, to reduce the time and memory required to load a page.
The inclusion of a link does not constitute a full endorsement of the
web site, nor the organization or individuals represented by that web site.
I do believe that the sites listed have significant value. Let me know
of any sites which you feel do not belong, along with an explanation. Feel
free to submit new sites for inclusion.
Search.
The Search
Page
lets you specify words to search
for at my website. You can also search other Calvinistic web sites by clicking
the "Search Other Websites"
link at the bottom of the Search page. My website uses the Geneva
search engine provided by Founders
Online.
Comments?
You are invited to contact me via e-mail with
any comments you may have. Just click the "Comments?"
link on the Navigation Bar,
or on any of the menus where it appears (usually at the bottom of a page).
Encouragement from like-minded brothers is always appreciated.
Please contact me if you experience any problems,
such as invalid links, missing graphics or midi files, external web pages
which come up in a frame instead of the whole screen, etc. Also, let me
know of any typographical errors, spelling errors, or inaccurate information.
I will try to take immediate action to remedy any problems you find.
Navigation
Bar.
The Navigation
Bar appears along the top
of
each page (except the Home Page).
It provides a ready menu so that you can easily jump to any of the web
site pages.
Also, most of the pages which come up in the Main
Frame (the right-hand section of the
screen) will have a navigation menu
at
the bottom (just as this page does!). This is primarily for those using
browsers which do not support frames. The main exception to this rule is
that the hymn pages do not have a bottom menu.
Index
Frame.
Each page (with the exception of the Home
Page and the Search
Pages) has a frame along the left
side of the screen which lets you select what will appear in the Main
Frame (on the right side of the screen).
For example, on the Hymns Page,
the Index Frame
lists the hymns. When you select a hymn from the Index, the corresponding
hymn page appears in the Main Frame
on the right side of the screen.
