MonthlyArchives/HomePage/Links/Comments

The “Monthly Archives” and Links may not be seen (or easily seen) through the use of a cell phone. But, they can easily be spotted in the right margin through the use of a desk top computer or lap top which shows more through its bigger screen. But, you may be able to enlarge what is shown on the screen of a cell phone to see the “Monthly Archives” and Links, and then be able to click on what you want.

The “Monthly Archives” are a pull-down menu of all past devotions which devotions can be accessed based on the month and year that it was posted. It is much easier to find a particular devotion by using the “Search” box (right under the “Monthly Archives”), by doing a search in the “Search” box in either of these two ways of searching. First, to find a devotion about a particular Scripture, it is better to use only the name of the book and the chapter such as “Psalm chapter 51” rather than a more narrow search such as “Psalm 51:10-19”. Or, second, to find a devotion about a particular subject in Scripture, it is better to use using very distinctive specific phrases in the Scripture for which you are searching, for example, such as “treasure hidden” or “one pearl” which are exact phrases in the Scripture for which you want to find a devotion.

Regarding “Home Page”, after you check out a link or headnote tag, you can get back to the home page of the daily devotions by clicking on the link titled “Home Page”. The daily devotions cover all of Scripture in its order. Some devotions cover a whole chapter, and some devotions only cover a part of the chapter with the next devotion covering the following verses in the same chapter. For example, because Psalm chapter 1 only covers a few verses and one main theme, one devotion may cover all of Psalm chapter 1, and the next devotion will cover Psalm chapter 2 (or part of it). Here also is a direct link to the Home Page – https://reformeddoctrine.com/

Regarding “Links”, due to the number of “Links”, they may not show up on a small cell phone.  You may need a Desktop computer or at least a laptop computer to show them where they should appear in the right margin.  Most of my links are to my posts on a particular subject matter.  Some of the links are to Reformed Creeds, Reformed publications, and other Reformed resources.

As you can see, some of the links contain resources from the Protestant Reformed Churches (“PRC”).  Their faithfulness in teaching Reformed Doctrine in their churches, schools, and even catechism classes, especially through the Reformed Creeds (Canons of Dordt, Belgic Confession, and Heidelberg Catechism), deserve praise, encouragement, and special consideration of their resources.

Due to the number of the Links which have grown over time to be much more on particular subjects  compared to the number of links on resources from the Protestant Reformed Churches (“PRC”), I do not want the PRC resources to get lost or hard to find due to the number of links on subjects.  So, here is a direct link to the Resources of the Protestant Reformed Churches (“PRC”) –  https://www.prca.org/ And, within the Protestant Reformed Churches, Charles Terpstra has an excellent web site with many Reformed Resources titled “The Three R’s Blog – Righteous (in Christ), Reformed (according to the Word of God), Reader (of good books) “. Here is a direct link to his web site – https://cjts3rs.wordpress.com/

Before clicking on the link, if you first want to know a very brief description of the content of the link, you can just rest the cursor above each link, without clicking it, and a description of the link will “pop up”.  Then, if you want to go to the site, you can click on the link.

There are also 9 headnote tags such as “About God” or “About Me” etc. which are at the top of each web site page.  In my opinion, these headnote tags are the most important links and best help the reader understand the broad themes to my web site.

The “Gold Mining” tag contains 52 letters (that are a little more personal than the daily devotions) that I wrote to my best friend.  Even though they were the earliest of my writings and contain no or less Reformed creeds and “TULIP”, God’s sovereignty and faithfulness to me and the use of Scriptures are very evident.

The links to other websites and other resources and quotes by other authors, that I provide in this web site should be used with discretion.  I do not necessarily agree with everything in them.  In addition, even my own summary of Scriptures a/k/a teachings a/k/a doctrine should be compared to other Scriptures and to the creeds. As I stated at the conclusion of the “About Me” page:  “The reader is advised to follow the example set forth in Acts 17:11:  “Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.”

Regarding “Comments”, (including “Like” or other reaction to the post), I understand that some of the readers may want to post their comment or reaction. But, over time, I have concluded that it is better overall for me to have more time and more focus on putting out more content than spending the time and focus on trying to reply to every comment or reaction, so I have eliminated or at least limited the ability of my readers to post “Comments” (including “Like” or other reaction to the post).

Thank you for your interest in my Reformed Doctrine Daily Devotions web site, reading some of it, and thinking about it!  Praise God!!
