First of all, for all the younger people, remember to check the age limits of who can contact you. (Spending more than 10 minutes on your profile wouldn't hurt either. XD) Be sure to respect the moderators, they tend to be pretty active. I'd thought I'd take the time to put together some resources I've found useful over my walk of faith. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!



www.Boundless.org

A branch of Focus on the Family, this site has been made for singles to help them navigate some of the thornier issues of dating and life as a Christian single. They periodically do podcasts as well.



www.Godlychristianmusic.com

A place where you can download free (and as far as I can tell, legal) christian music. The entries have been either been donated by various artists (please respect their wishes by not trying to resell the songs) or are from public domain.



www.Fadedpage.com

While not a Christian website per say, because of its unique location in Canada, most of the books of one of the notable Christian writers, Clive Staples Lewis is available there: https://www.fadedpage.com/csearch.php?author=Lewis,%20C.%20S.%20(Clive%20Staples)

Check your countries' copyright laws before downloading (If it's copyrighted in your country, it should be fine to view it from the website, but consult a lawyer if you have concerns).



Project Gutenburg

Like Faded Page, Project Gutenburg compiles public domain books into one spot (check your country's copyright before downloading, if you're in a country that is hostile to Christianity, use appropriate digital safety measures.) Gutenburg has a larger section of older Christian literature, (I particularly like C. S. Lewis, George MacDonald, Amy Carmichael, and Paul Bunyan.

Wildatheart.org

A more modern source, Wild At Heart ministries focuses on what it means to be made in the image of God, as a man, and as a woman. (and occasionally on man with wife. A lot of their resources are free, so if nothing else you can just listen to the podcasts.



Blueletterbible.org and Biblegateway.com

Both free, both good tools for studying the bible. Blue Letter has a Strong's concordance for the original Hebrew and Greek text of the bible so you can really get into the meat and marrow of the scriptures. Biblegateway has more bible versions though for those who do not live in english speaking countries.

An addition to the free goodies:



CCEL.org

A collection of largely christian public domain and books used with permission of the owners, they do have this disclaimer though.

"These books may be used for personal, educational, or non-profit purposes. Contact us for permission to republish CCEL works or to use them commercially. Copyright laws in other countries vary; it may be that some books that are in the public domain in the United States but are still under copyright in other countries. Check your local copyright law before copying."



Pluggedin.com

A website dedicated to reviewing shows, movies and games for objectionable content from a christian perspective. Have a date for a movie you're not sure about? Check it out here for assessment. They also pick out movies for recommendations too. (Note that reviews before 1980 tend to be omitted from their collection as they tend to focus on more modern media.)



Internetpolyglot.com

For the international crowd, this language lesson site is dedicated for free lessons in over 35 languages. It's mostly European languages with some of the more major asian and middle eastern languages.



Fsi-language-courses.org

Used by diplomats, this website features around 50 or so languages that are around the world, even some obscure ones like Amharic and Twi. The lessons tend to be a bit dry though.
