There are countless resources in our day and age on the internet related to Christianity. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between the wheat and the chaff, the true and the false, the helpful and the dangerous. And therefore, it is the goal of this DEFC page to provide you with some carefully handpicked websites that are biblical, devotional, informative, and educational. Take advantage of the invaluable teachings on these sites. Although nothing replaces reading and studying the Bible, God has gifted us with sound biblical teachers to help us grow in our faith (Eph 4:11–14). The list below is not exhaustive, and there are other websites that are equally beneficial. Be discerning with all that you read and watch, and be like the Bereans who “received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so” (Acts 17:11).
