Pastor/Teacher Rev. Dr. James A. Brettell
LRNC is the vision of Rev. Dr. James A. Brettell to take the teaching of God’s Holy Word to the peoples of this world via the internet; therefore, the LRNC will take advantage of modern technology to make the Word of God available to an increasing number of people who have, are, or will be departing the traditional church because it is not offering the type of spiritual help needed by a morally depraved society. As human history daily moves closer to the rapture of the Church, Divine pressure will increase on the world’s population, and established church members will depart the traditional church setting and its innocuous forms of worship that are doing nothing more than applying a spiritual band-aid to a spiritual hemorrhage. The Little Rock NetChurch will pave the way to meet the spiritual needs of coming generations by going to the people via the internet rather than requiring the people to come to it. An internet church is not a “wild-idea.” In a recent survey, researcher George Barna said, "By the end of the decade, 50 million Americans will seek to have their spiritual experience solely through the Internet, rather than at a church; and upwards of 100 million Americans will rely upon the Internet to deliver some aspects of their religious experience." Barna sees it right, and there needs to be a church in place to meet these needs. It is for this reason that Dr. Brettell has organized the Little Rock NetChurch.

Thieme, Jr., pastor of Berachah Church in Houston, TX.. Their purpose is to make available his publications and tapes worldwide without charge or obligation.
Pastor/Teacher Gene Cunningham
The purpose of this ministry is to present isagogical, categorical and exegetical Bible teaching, and to facilitate the distribution of this material through face-to-face teaching, audio cassette tapes, and books and materials required in the teaching of the Word of God as outlined in basic Bible doctrine.
It is absolutely essential for the believer to learn the Scriptural difference between his relationship to earth and heaven, the flesh and the Spirit, Judaism and Christianity. Only from the Pauline epistles will the Holy Spirit minister this Christian truth to him. Then, when established and hid with Christ in God, he can be ministered to by the remainder of the Word without being drawn from his position in Christ, who is his life. We trust our site will be a welcome sight to you
Resting in Him,
Miles
After nearly 50 years of ascension ministry and at the age of 85, Christian growth author Miles J. Stanford stepped into the Lord's glory on September 21, 1999. In addition to his prolific writings, he maintained worldwide correspondence with scores of hungry-hearted believers, typically signing his doctrinally rich letters with "Resting in Him." Our brother will be dearly missed.

American Freedom Assembly is a non-profit organization dedicated to presenting the principles of true freedom through the assembly format.

Glenhaven Youth Ranch is nestled on 150 acres in the Ouachita National Forest of Central Arkansas. For fifteen years, Glenhaven has provided long-term, Christian residential placement for young men at risk. It is a place of peace and beauty, isolated from many of the adverse outside influences of the world. As the cattle quietly graze in the pastures, the homes and school are a hub of activity and learning. It is in these settings, that young men come to terms with the struggles that each have inside of themselves.
Dr. Daniel W. Hill, Senior Pastor

Doctrinal Studies Bible Church of Birmingham Alabama was established in 1974 with the intent of providing Believers, in the Grace Gospel of Jesus Christ, with a resource of sound biblical teachings and fellowship within which to grow spiritually.
Doctrinal Studies Bible Church exists for three primary purposes UNDER GRACE:
(1) to accurately provide Biblical teaching necessary for believers to learn and apply, thereby growing to spiritual maturity,
(2) to provide an environment for believers to function as “salt and light” to their fellow believers, their community, their nation, and the world, and
(3) to proclaim the glory of Jesus Christ, our Savior and celebrity of the universe.
CROSSWORD BIBLE MINISTRIES, INC.
Crossword Bible Ministries, Inc. started as a conversation between two friends over dinner in December of 2004. Buck Hoskin and Jeff Deloach decided to put a plan into action that would reach the general public for Christ. After many conversations and mentoring by Dr. Ralph Richardson (Bible Alive Ministries), Buck decided to implement Dr. Richardson's three-fold ministry plan in order to accomplish the goal of CBM Inc: "Reaching the Community for Christ". This plan was to include, but not limited to; Luncheon Bible Studies "in the market place" (Acts 17:17), a radio teaching ministry composed of 1-5 minute commercial "spots" on secular, Christian, AM, FM, and talk radio, and monthly Bible study bulletins and newsletters sent to the homes of all who wished to be included on the mailing list.
In some ways, this is going to be a very specialized website which will appeal to a very limited number of believers in Jesus Christ. First off, many believers are going to disagree with the doctrinal views presented in this website, as most believers are legalists and, in some way or another, like to add works to their salvation. Some do this more subtly, along the lines of Catholicism and Pentecostalism (two off-shoots of Christianity which are strikingly similar in nature). In both of these faiths, it is thought that when one believes in Jesus Christ, that he will naturally begin to act like a Christian. That is, his faith will be proven in his works; or, as the Catholics call it, the believer participates in infused grace, where the nature of Jesus Christ becomes his nature, and the true believer will exhibit this nature. I do not believe that after salvation people manifest the person of Jesus Christ, although that is a potential for all believers in Jesus Christ.
When it comes to having a relationship with God, there is one way this is achieved, and that is by placing faith alone in Christ alone; this is the only way of salvation. Our lives may or may not bear this salvation out (see the Doctrinal Statement for more information on this). Some believers, after believing in Jesus Christ, spend the rest of their Christian lives out of fellowship after they commit their first post-salvation sin. Now, they may be religious or they may seem hell-bent, but one's life after salvation is separate from salvation. One's Christian life is related to being saved, but it is a separate matter in many respects.
Now, let’s just assume for a moment that you actually believe in the same tenets of Christianity that I do; still, this site may not be for you. 99% of believers (if not 99.99%) need to be under the teaching of a pastor teacher, and I am not a pastor teacher. I once thought that was my gift, and I have since changed my mind. For those of you who are believers and in a church where doctrine is taught exegetically and categorically, with emphasis upon the original languages and the historical context of the Scriptures, this site will have limited value to you. You will get most of your growth from your pastor-teacher. This site, for you, will give you some reference material. If you need a quick and dirty explanation for this or that Old Testament passage, you might very well find it on this website. However, I have only exegeted the first 10 books of the Bible, along with a couple dozen psalms, and, quite frankly, I am only pleased with the outcome of 1 and 2Samuel (a work in process); and I am working on the book of Judges to bring that up to snuff.
The primary reason for this website is really as a comprehensive approach to help some pastors and some seminary students out in a limited number of books (so far, 1Samuel and portions of Judges, 2Samuel, 1Chronicles, and the Psalms). The work done on the other books will be handy for reference material, albeit, incomplete. Whereas, these are good commentaries on the Pentateuch and the first couple books of historical narrative, I don’t see them as my best work by any means. At this point in time, 1and 2Samuel and a few of the psalms and a few chapters of 1Chronicles represent my best work, and a pastor or a student can look at these for a thorough, one-stop, exegetical study of these books. All of the study that you might need to do in the Hebrew and in most categories related to this book has been done for you. My exegesis of 1Samuel is about 4000 pages, so you may rest assured that almost every question that has ever come to your mind about this book has been answered or, at least, proposed, within these 4000 pages.
