Devotional Texts

What is it?

Texting is a great tool for connecting with people. I want this to become the home site for a devotional texting that will happen as five days a week. Currently Wednesday’s and Sunday’s I will not send a devotional text.

I will send the address of the verse, and I will attempt to ask a thought provoking question, to encourage responses. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Each devotional text has the link to this site at the top and then the address and the question or meditation. It is a good challenge to get it all into 160 characters.

The Advantages :

1. Texts are easy to respond to.

2. This allows everyone to keep in touch, in between meetings.

3. The whole group is encouraged to interact for each text.

4. You have the person’s number who sends you the text, so you can call, or text, if you need to chat or meet.

5. Inviting a person is as simple asking, getting their number, and forwarding the text to them. I encourage you to send the texts to your friends to form a web of texting devotionals . This Blog will act as a point, and will archive all texts sent from me.

6. This provides an easy way to get into God’s word without being intimidated.

7. Everyone love receiving texts, especially if it is more than a word or two

I am using www.biblegateway.com, so I don’t make any error’s in transferring the bible verse to this post. The verses I am using are listed as “Popular bible quotations for memorization, and meditation” and are in the back of my bible. I use the New International Version (NIV). Though other devotionals may be used.

2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV)

16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.

Why?

Whether you are just asking questions about God, or if you have been developing a relationship with God, through Jesus for years, we all need to make sure God is a part of everyday life, not just Sunday. We all have issues about getting into the bible daily so this can help everyone.

Text pages are limited to 160 characters. So challenge yourself in the responses, say something more than “that verse really hits home,” tell us why.

Who?

Any group of people may use this technique to strengthen their group. In fact, I hope other groups will hear about this and employ it. If you want to become a point person to send and receive these texts, or even set up another blog to archive those organized around something you want to do then do it, and let others know.

A Bit about me

My name is Ruth Peters. I am 25 years old and I feel called and capable of following through with this idea for devotions using texting. I want to be encouraged myself and to encourage others to get into the word more frequently.

My faith is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God who was incarnated as a man in order to redeem us from our sin, by dying on the cross and being resurrected. I believe our first job was to take care of His creation. It still stands, so let’s do it.

He saves anyone who accepts him, no matter where they are, but that is just the beginning of a relationship that will challenge you in the most amazing ways. He is the only one who changes you from the inside out. He has a purpose for everyone, all the time.
