Daily Devotionals

Do you read e-mails every day but only read the Bible in church on Sunday?  Do you wish that you could start a daily devotional but are having trouble getting started?  Maybe you already read the Bible regularly or do a daily devotional but are interested in trying something different to re-energize your spiritual life? 

There are many resources available on-line that you can use to kick-start your daily spiritual life, many of which can come to you directly for free in an e-mail format.  Other services will send a text message to your phone for a fee.  Since there are literally thousands of choices, here are some suggestions to help you get started:

Praying the Psalms

Psalms may be the most contemporary book in the whole Bible because people today can identify intimately with the expressions of trust, hope, lament, and praise found there.  Click here to explore Praying the Psalms.
