Short Answer: Phil Ware.

Long Answer: Phil Ware is co-editor of HEARTLIGHT Magazine, and authors the prayers and commentaries for Today's Verse. It's a huge task requiring daily thought and prayer, along with some helping from the Spirit, of course! You can find out more about Phil at this page.

Short Answer: The best Christian site on the planet. (at least, we think so!)

Long Answer: Heartlight is an on line e-zine and ministry that offers free e-cards, daily articles, award winning Scripture graphics, music, and an on line Christian store along with a host of other resources. Our mission is to provide positive resources to help believers live for Jesus in today's world and Today's Verse is one of those resources.

Short Answer: A whole lot.

Long Answer: Today's Verse is mailed out to about 41,000 people each day from HEARTLIGHT and another 60,000+ from Crosswalk (the Crosswalk version is last year's version of Today's Verse, the Heartlight version is new this year). In addition, we know many of you forward Today's Verse on to friends, and quite a few newspapers and Christian radio stations have contacted us for permission to use Today's Verse as part of their ministry. So, we're not sure exactly how many, but it's more than we ever dreamed!

Short Answer: Search!

Long Answer: All of the Today's Verse devotionals from 1998-Present are in archives that are fully searchable by going to http://www.heartlight.org/cgi-shl/todaysverse.cgi. Find the search form on the lower left side of the page, and then type in a Scripture reference or key words into the search window.

Short Answer: It depends.

Long Answer: Today's Verse was begun when Zondervan Publishing sent us Scriptures for a year of daily devotionals. That is our Year One Today's Verse list. For Year Two, we selected Scriptures based upon the key events on the calendar and chose other verses that we found particularly appropriate. The Year Three list (for 2000) is a Scripture reference that corresponds to the date (example: Genesis 1:1 for 01/01). For 2001, we will use the verses suggested by you, our readers. Send suggestions to todaysverse-suggestions@heartlight.org.

Short Answer: Follow instructions.

Long Answer: Near the bottom of the email you get you'll find some clear instructions for unsubscribing. Just follow them, and you'll be off the list, no questions asked!

Short Answer: Let us count the ways...
