SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [new 5/97]
http://www.ucalgary.ca/~ckwcheng/dayscrip.html
Have you thought about setting aside some of those valuable bookmarks for the purpose of tending to daily devotionals? Scripture of the Day, based at the University of Calgary, Canada is a worthy addition. But there is a bonus to using web based devotionals. That bonus are the little extras that set the mood and provide a virtual desktop, reference works and all. The webmaster does not solely provide a great devotional in Scripture of the Day, but also accoutres visitors with additional daily devotionals from other ministries, three of the best online Bibles available, a Christian internet search utility, RBC's excellent Answers to Tough Questions, and a couple of well placed evangelical tools that would make this an excellent bookmark to recommend to friends who may be considering a personal relationship with Christ... a quiet place for that introduction to occur! More information through a link to the Christian Stuff at the University of Calgary web site. We give this page a four star rating for friendly orderly design, ease of use, solid reliable content. Also, one more thing. It may not seem all that notable on a Christian page. But, it ends with "God bless you." Highly recommended.
