Dear friends in the family of God,<\/p>\n
I wanted to take the time to thank you for your outstanding website and the quality resources it provides.\u00a0 I’ve read some excellent, scriptural-centered material on the site, and the collection of graphics made available is also quite nice.<\/p>\n
Your embracing of Creative Commons licensing is a step toward the kind of sharing needed in the Christian community in general.\u00a0 I especially appreciate the open and unrestricted manner in which the resources are made available for any non-commercial purpose in your statement:\u00a0 “Permission is given in advance to use the material and pictures on this site for non-commercial purposes. We only ask that you give credit to the original creators. A link back to this site is not required, though it is always appreciated.<\/em>”\u00a0 I regret to say that such an attitude is far rarer than it should be in this day.<\/p>\n Mostly, I wanted to give you great feedback on the large body of work that has been so nicely laid out and presented.\u00a0 When we offer up our best to the Lord it shows, and that is what is reflected in the website.\u00a0 Please pass it on to all who contribute to that labor of love.\u00a0 Well done!<\/p>\n\t Thank you very much for the encouragement.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Question: Dear friends in the family of God, I wanted to take the time to thank you for your outstanding website and the quality resources it provides.\u00a0 I’ve read some excellent, scriptural-centered material on the site, and the collection of graphics made available is also quite nice.
