New Site Features!
Daily Devotional & Scripture Reference Tooltips
Greetings, dear visitors, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
I just wanted to quickly mention a couple of new features that we have recently added to the site!
First is the Daily Devotional. This feature simply spotlights a different audio file each day from one of our devotional series, recorded by Brother Adam; you can click to listen to it from anywhere on the site. For example, today is Psalm 7; tomorrow will be Psalm 8; and so on. Once the Psalms are finished, it will automatically start on the next series. (The full series are listed in the site's Audio section.) The devotional offers an opportunity to establish a daily custom of listening to some of the most beautiful and inspiring passages of scripture, read aloud and expounded by a faithful brother who has spent time studying and meditating deeply on them.
Secondly, we've added a feature that automatically detects scripture references on the pages of our site, and looks up the passage texts, displaying them as a tooltip when you hover over them with a mouse. There is some quirky behavior that I'm aware of, such as displaying the tooltip behind certain interface elements instead of in front; I hope to come up with a fix for this in the future. For now, I hope it will be useful, especially when reading articles, as you can now look up referenced scriptures instantly without navigating away from the article. For pages with a lot of references, it may take awhile for the tooltips to load; but that shouldn't stop you from reading the article normally or interacting with the page in other ways. (Note that this is a desktop-only feature; it only works on devices that can use a mouse to hover.)
Feel free to email us from the Contact page with any feedback or suggestions about these new features, or other areas of the site!
Blessings,
- Brother Ray
