This links page lists all the scriptures used in the writing of the
WORD FOR TODAY daily devotionals. The Scripture Indexes will now be posted on Lectionary Index. The links will take you directly to the writing you seek from devotions between August 1999 and July 2006. Duplicate links mean that the scripture was used on more than one occasion.
You are welcome to use these words to share the Gospel of our Lord Jesus. Please remember to give credit to the Author, the Lord God Almighty, who has given you these gifts, and keep in remembrance this vessel, Peggy Hoppes, which He used to bring them to you. We pray that this site may be a blessing to you and anyone with whom you've shared it.
Throughout the writing of the WORD, I have discovered there are subjects that require several days to cover completely. These links will take you directly to the first day of each of these series.

When researching, I use several versions of the bible, including the New International Version and English Standard Version. Due to copyright restrictions, I have not included quotes for the scriptures on some of the archives, but highly encourage you to open your own bibles to read the scripture passages for yourselves. Where scripture is quoted, it is usually the American Standard Version or World English Bible which belong to the public domain. Any other versions used in quotes are identified.
