What are Sunday Snippets (tm)?

Sunday Snippets(tm) are an effort I began in 1994 and continued until 1998. Almost every week, I edited & published a short devotional work, essay, poem, hymn, quotation(s) that I felt would be readable to a general Christian audience./

I'm was not usually original, but I looked for traditional sources that might not have been commonly know among today's generation. Although I personally have strong convictions of Bible interpretation in the Reformed Faith, I sought to be transdenominational when it came to Sunday Snippets, often having chosen the best writings of Christians of diverse traditions.

Why Sunday Snippets? I believe the biblical mandate for me to do this is found in Ephes. 4:29 and Coloss. 3:16. I wanted to do a small part to encourage, educate, build up, establish & motivate a large number Christians (and other interested persons) of all levels of spiritual maturity. They are posted on several Christian newsgroups (see below). In addition, the FTP site "Not Just Bibles" (NJB) has added my Snippets to their available Web resources.
