Do you need your daily dose of the Word, but don’t have time to get on your computer, open the browser, launch a bookmark, wait for it load, and then be inspired? Or, maybe you’re technically challenged, and think “Twitter on your Facebook” is a skin condition. Check out this new service — TheBibleNow.org.

Each day during the week (M-F), you receive a daily Bible verse as a text message on your cell phone. It’s a pay service (only $5.99 per month), but it’s cool because they give away 90% of the proceeds.  That’s like reverse tithe numbers.  Crazy!

If you wanna get your daily dose of scripture, check out TheBibleNow.org and help out ministries while you’re at it, ministries like Aspen Project, Casas Por Cristo and GC Alliance.
