Index to Resources

This is the master index of links to find Christian resources from a variety of online resources. This index links up to websites which are being used by the youth of Troy Christian Chapel to deepen their individual walks in Christ. It is our belief that many of today's Christian youth strongly desire to deepen their lives in Christ but are not aware of where to find online resources to help them. Hopefully, this site can help.

It is our hope that these links will be of benefit to the youth of our congregation as well as any other readers of this blog who may be searching for the same type of resources.

Devotional Resources

There are a number of great resources for devotionals which can be found on Internet

OUR DAILY BREAD - This is the online version of the printed devotional that we keep at the Information Center at Troy Christian Chapel. It follows a simple format of the reading a small Bible passage and a reflection on that passage.

ENCOUNTER WITH GOD - This is just one devotional from Scripture Union. It too has a brief reading of Scripture and then a reflection. Unlike "Our Daily Bread", the readings will go through a book of the Bible over a several day or several week period. Highly recommended as a supplemental to your daily Bible reading.

MORNING & EVENING
This devotional was composed by Charles Haddon Spurgeon back in late 19th century England. Each day has a morning reading from Scripture (with a reflection) as well as an evening reading from Scripture (along with a reflection on the text). Spurgeon is very insightful into His reflection on short snippets of Scripture which, when thought about, carry remarkable weight.

There are also options for getting each day's readings sent to your e-mail or picked up as a RSS feed. The links are found within Heartlight's Spurgeon web -page.

NEWS SOURCES
In a sermon preached in March, 1998, Pastor Dan Lewis challenged us to use the newspaper as a devotional guide to pray for the world around us. While print newspapers are becoming scarcer, there are a number of news websites which can help us to expand our vision for prayer and have us to pray beyond only our own families and our own neighborhoods.
