Celebrating Grace

by Bob Setzer, Jr.

Martin Luther marveled at music’s power to tap into the hidden wellsprings of faith.

A lot of folks love Twitter, and there have been times, such as the recent disaster in Haiti, when this technology proved invaluable. But as a rule, there’s no one I find sufficiently interesting–myself included!–that I wish to know whatever free-floating association passes through their mind every hour or two.

But what if one could receive “tweets” (messages via Twitter) throughout the day . . . from God?! That’s the idea behind the Twitter Bible. Read More
