Welcome to our information page!
Our Internet labors are dedicated to helping good Gospel ministries to establish their ministries online with as little expense as possible.
The purpose of this page is to introduce you to some of the Internet Sites we were privileged to serve since December of 1995 to the present. By God's grace we have enjoyed millions of unique hits for the combined pages of Sound of Grace and Piper's Notes. Each day visitors to our pages come from all over the globe to read the biblically based content we have helped bring to the Internet. We are most humbled to be used of our Lord in this manner.
Some of the web sites that we have helped to develope and actively maintain:
* Sound of Grace
* Piper's Notes
* Grizzly Bible Institute
* Sovereign Grace Fellowship
Websites that we designed and help launch but no longer maintain:
* Fred Zaspel's Biblical Studies
* ChristWay Media (now closed)
* Reformed Baptist Church of Lewisburg, PA (since redesigned)
* Several Church web sites
Websites that Karan and Moe consider our own:
* MoeBergeron
* TakeACopy
* ChristMyCovenant
* TakeACopy Civil War
The following are email and web based communication services that we have helped make available to the Christian Internet community:
* Sound of Grace list - Theology & Fellowship through Email
* "For The Love of God Devotional" for Dr. Donald Carson and ChristWay Media
A brief history of how we ended up in this mess (grin).
Moe and Karan Bergeron were blessed to obtain from John Piper all the sermons our brother had saved to diskette from mid-1984 to 1993. We took two of the years, 1984 and 1985, and published them as compiled eBooks* in both DOS and Windows formats. Later when the Internet provided the opportunity to enlarge the audience for Dr. Piper's sermons, Moe contacted brother Piper and introduced him to the potential of Piper's Notes. Thanks to John Piper, the rest is, as we say, "history."
Piper's Notes would not have been possible without the help of several other volunteers. Our thanks go out to Fred & Marveen who worked very hard with a flatbed page scanner and OCR software to scan all of the earlier printed sermons into workable text files. After scanning the pages, they tidied up all the text by cleaning up what the OCR software could not do perfectly. With the task completed they added the much needed HTML coding into each individual text file and forwarded the files, by email, to Moe and Karan. We then linked the files together with more HTML and, at last, published them to the web site for your enjoyment. Additional words of appreciation go to Ruth McNeese for her labor of love in editing and translating a good many of Piper's sermons to HTML. Ruth was also actively involved in editing pages for an online commentary project we had going for some time. Our thanks also go out to Paul Mikulecky who designed and contributed Piper's Notes' desk graphic. Visit Paul's site at Lost Pencil Animation Studios Inc. We also want to thank the good brethren at Bethlehem Baptist Church and Desiring God Ministries (Justin, Rich, Bob, Jon, & Ross) for having kept us up to date with John Piper's sermons. They are a great bunch of brethren!
On the Sound of Grace side of things we are grateful for Sound of Grace for the resources which we have used to host both the Sound of Grace and Piper's Notes. Many thanks go to brother John G. Reisinger and Jacob Moseley for all of their help.
Apart from our web labors there is nothing that unifies all of the above mentioned ministries except for our love and appreciation for each of their respective ministries and for their shared love of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is also true that they all share a common Baptist heritage and a love for the Doctrines of Grace but beyond those similarities, they may, and do differ in some areas. Who doesn't?
Support
We are grateful for the resources our Lord has provided through the kind and generous brethren who helped to make this ministry possible.
We highly value your prayers. Would you pray for the many people that our Lord has moved to visit our various web pages and online services? Not too long ago it was unheard of to reach so many for so little. Praise our Lord Jesus Christ!
To all of the Friends of the John Bunyan Internet Ministry we thank you for your continued prayers and love.
