Watch your accountability partner with DirecTV widgets!

Did you know that DirecTV now has TV widgets?  If not, you do now!  What is a widget you might ask?  It’s a small program that will quickly bring you information on any given subject.  They have items like a weather gadget, sports, calendar, games, etc…  Well, now they have an iStinkatDevotions.com gadget!  With this gadget you can quickly check on your accountability partner from ISAD with the click of your remote button while watching TV!  Right now DirecTV is only using the widgets on DVR models of receivers.  You can get more info here  http://tvapps.directv.com and here http://directv.com

Here is the direct link to our app that you can add to your DVR.  Add the application and let us know what you think!  Hopefully this will make it easier to follow your accountability partner on ISAD.

Once the application is downloaded, you can change the name of the accountability partner you are following under options from your remote or from the DirecTV application website.  Please let us know if you have any issues with it!

A lot has changed!

May 22, 2009 in Site News by Admin Ben

The re-launch of ISAD is only two weeks old and a lot has changed.  I see this becoming a trend.  I just wanted to highlight the changes in case you missed one.  I appreciate any and all ideas in order to give you the tools necessary to be consistent with the Lord.  Thanks to jbright and marnus for their ideas thus far!  You have made ISAD better.

So, the changes under “My Devotions”:

1) Devotional Blog Link (an easy way, in My Devotions, to quickly post what God is teaching you so others can learn as well)
2) Daily Reading (read this daily and you will have read through the Bible in 1 year)
3) Daily Devotions by Charles Spurgeon (Morning and Evening Editions)
4) Daily Devotions by Oswald Chambers (My Utmost for His Highest)
5) Daily Devotions by John MacArthur (Strength for Today)
6) Weekly Memory Verse (memorize it today!)
7) We are on Twitter http://twitter.com/istinkat (follow us now)

If you have an idea that you would like to see implemented on ISAD, post it here.  http://istinkatdevotions.com/groups/new-isad-ideas

Accountability

9 Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Radical? Or Normal?
The book of Acts provides us with the historical account of the early church and the growth and movement of Christianity from its beginnings in Jerusalem. As I examine the pattern of the early church though I’m afraid our American Christianity fails to resemble the radical lifestyle that was being exhibited by our early Christian brothers and sisters. But was their lifestyle really radical? Passages like Acts 2:42-47 Read the rest of this entry »

The new ISAD coming in early April! May!  Sorry for the delay, but I think it will be worth it!

New ISAD!

The new ISAD coming in early April!

There are some exciting changes coming to ISAD. I have been working hard to get the site to what I had hoped it would be on the initial launch back in January of 2008.  Look for the upgrade to happen in early April of 2009.  The site will be less and less about “blogging” and more and more about accountability.  Please pray with me that this site would fail miserably if God is not part of it.

1 John 3:8b 1 John 3:9 “Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God.” (NLT)
