Welcome to Kevin's Family - Online History Links Page. This page will continually be updated. Check out what's on this page via the directory below.
What's on this page:
INTRODUCTION:
This page is a directory to web sites that are related to the Lilley and Matthews families, genealogy and Australian history.
Feel free to add your site to the "Free-For-All Links" below. Just simply click on the "Add a link to your website!" and go ahead and do so. The site will then be reviewed before being added to the directory on this page (should it be suitable). Remember, we are only interested in links that have relevance to my family (though it may only be a slight relevance), genealogy and Australian history. All others will be deleted.
Perhaps you would also like to join the "World of Matthews Families SiteRing" set up by this site. This is open to all Matthews Families around the world, whether related to us or not, so please join the ring. I will eventually add one for the Lilley Family also.
KEVIN'S SITES:
Ausquaria
Ausquaria is yet another web site I have begun - this time to explore and share my interest in keeping freshwater and tropical fish in aquaria, with others. Perhaps you too will catch my enthusiasm for this hobby and set up tour own tank!
Computer Aids
Welcome to particularbaptist.com's Computer Aids and Resources Page. This page is designed to be of some help to those who may not know too much about computers and the Internet.
Kevin's Horticulture
Kevin's Horticulture. What may be unknown to many is that I am by trade a horticulturist. I don't say that I'm a very good one, for I have forgotten much of what I was trained in over 19 years ago. However, horticulture is still very much a leisure activity for me. Here I share that which now interests me in the field of horticulture. Largely it lies in the areas of bromeliads, cacti, ferns and orchids. Maybe it will be of interest to some - but it is part of who I am.
Kevin's Wilderness Journeys
I love this country of Australia and want to tell people about what God has put in this wonderful place that I have been privileged to travel around for so many years. I have a mass of material to put up on this site, but have not always kept records of every trip I've been on. The journals, etc, of those trips will be of a more general nature as far as reports on them go. I am also adding information about the world's wild places and I am always looking forward to receiving information about them so I can add it to the site.
Nutter's Place
This is 'The Nutter's Place.' It's the Australian Christian's place for the strange and the bizarre (and we welcome overseas visitors of course). Here you will find links to all manner of strange and wonderful things.
- Particularbaptist.com
Particularbaptist.com (Aussie Outpost) is committed to the historic Particular Baptist faith as expressed in the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. Though once a committed Reformed Baptist I find myself no longer able to align myself with the modern-day Reformed Baptist movement. I am more closely aligned with my early persecuted non-conformist and separatist Particular Baptist brethren. These early Baptists were persecuted by the early Reformers and their offspring who sought for a uniform faith, dealing severely with those that did not conform to their principles of infant baptism and a state church. Sadly a large number of modern-day Reformed Baptists seem to have inherited the persecuting spirit of the early Reformers and laid aside the Particular Baptistic distinctive of the liberty of the conscience (under God), replacing it with a stern uniforming principal that persecutes those not in full agreement with them.
Though no longer considering myself a Reformed Baptist I remain firmly committed to the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith that was formed by the early Particular Baptists of England. I continue to warmly embrace my Reformed Baptist brethren as fellow members of the wider church, a circle of believers that includes all of God's elect. This site welcomes all Reformed believers to enjoy fellowship with other Reformed brethren who have thus far come to enjoy the fellowship fostered by the Aussie Outpost. My withdrawing from the Reformed Baptist movement is merely an expression of my own spiritual journey and current convictions and understanding.
Particularbaptist.com is committed to bringing you a resource pool of good, solid, Reformed truth, with particular emphasis on Particular Baptist distinctives as outlined in the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith and the other confessional standards high-lighted on this site (see the menu at left). You will find here articles, books, Bible studies, sermons, etc, that will be especially helpful for those that I call the average Particular and/or Reformed Baptist - that is, the Particular and/or Reformed Baptist with average mental ability (such as I). Of course there will continue to be an opportunity for in-depth research and study also.
Particularbaptist.com is a privately run site and is not part of a church or wider-based ministry. I do not give out money - there are other ministries that do that. What I try to do is make particular baptist and reformed resources available for free to other believers around the world. So please, do not ask for money, I cannot give it.
- Reformed Particular Baptist Fellowship
A social network for Particular/Reformed Baptists, providing an opportunity for both social and spiritual fellowship.
