COMMENDED vs Skill Sprouts

Even the busiest life has down-moments each day. Wouldn’t it be great to harness some of those lost minutes to get pointers and see patterns for living a different way? What if you could access timeless truths anywhere, anytime in mere moments—and conveniently meditate on God’s word throughout the day? COMMENDED offers a single Bible verse with quick-read, practical reflections for your journey with God—delivered to your smartphone daily fone one year. Exploring passages from every Book in both Old and New Testaments (including lesser-knowns like Obadiah and Titus), Dr. Daniel A Brown makes Kingdom principles easy to see and apply. His perspectives from decades of scripture-informed experience, also teach you how to find those principles yourself! “After rededicating my life to Christ in 1970, I began reading five Bible chapters each day, and I got in the habit of selecting one verse to think about from what I read. Only much later did I learn that was what people called ‘meditating on God’s word.’ COMMENDED helps you follow that same pattern.” ~Daniel A. Brown, PhD This app isn’t intended to replace your regular Bible reading, or to supplant your connection to a local church and its leaders. But if you want to develop a daily pattern of Scripture meditation, COMMENDED will focus you and give you a boost.
