*Perhaps Today Ministries*  A This is a Bible Topic Discussion list with outlined lessons posted frequently for group discussion. Posts are in simple language anyone can understand. Topics are from "Bibliology" to "Eschatology" and more. Or from "The Doctrine of the Bible" to "The Doctrine of Last Things!" Saying the same thing in simple English. The topics have been adapted from a college course & used with new Christians, older Teen Bible Studies & Youth Groups. It is also great for those ‘older’ in the faith interested in reviewing Christian Doctrine. The entire course is an on-going & continually repeated class & is updated with new research. Some topics covered are as follows: Bibliology: on the Bible; Biblical Theology; Theology: on God; Christology: on Christ; Pneumatology: on the Holy Spirit; Hamartiology: the doctrine of sin; Soteriology: on salvation; Ecclesiology: on the Church; Eschatology: on last things, etc. etc. Articles of topical interest are occasionally posted as well as News of Christian interest. Additional topics are frequently added per student requests. This is an easy-going group with friendly chatter & you are welcome to submit Bible topic research as well..

*XJW-Central* PTM no longer hosts it’s own counter-cult education/discussion group, but recommends, supports and co-moderates the best one the web has to offer. The Internet has experienced an influx of new Ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses, individuals attempting to recover from Watchtower indoctrination or for that matter from involvement in MANY different cults. XJW-Central is a place on the web, where individuals and/or groups who are addressing various recovery issues, can make others aware of their work…while getting to know and help each other. Having the opportunity to share our similar experiences as well as strategies for recovery can be quite essential. In an effort to put Ex-JWs into contact with a broad spectrum of individuals who share their experience we have created "XJW-Central" as a "get acquainted" forum. The list is open to all Jehovah's Witnesses, Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses, STUDENT Jehovah's Witnesses, to people recovering from other cults, and to ALL OTHER SEEKERS OF "The Truth". Our group has 100 plus members and has been established since 1998. *Please note that the Owner & Moderators of this list are Christians. If you are opposed to or offended by discussions related to the Christian Faith, God, Jesus Christ, or the Bible, this may not be the list for you.

*UnceasingPrayer* First Thessalonians 5:17 explains this group. It is just what it says, "Unceasing Prayer". Your prayer requests and your prayers are welcome here. Plus, I will post prayers & prayer information when I can. Abraham Lincoln once said, "I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for the day." It seems to me that we are better prepared for life on earth if we start with prayer, end with prayer and have prayer in the middle. It is very hard to fall when you are already on your knees.

*The Potter’s Garden* The Potter's Garden is a group for Christian women who, because of abuse, abortion, an unequally-yoked marriage, divorce, and other life circumstances, feel like "cracked pots." The Lord our God, the Potter, takes cracked pots and grows beautiful gardens in them. This is a place to be encouraged, supported, up-held in prayer, with counseling from the Word of God, that you may "bloom where you are planted"

** Devotions **   If you would like all of PTM’s devotions plus many more, then Devotions is the group for you. This list seeks to be a common denominator between Christians, and is a medium to heavy volume list, running between 20 to 50 messages per day with an average being about 20-30. This list is hosted by PTM’s webmaster, Mark R. Magill who also created the "Word For Life Resource Center". The "Word For Life" project is a cooperative effort between a group of friends to provide valuable Christian resources to everyone, with special emphasis on Christian ministries, Christian schools, and family-friendly sites, of which I am very proud to be a part of.
