## Why I built it

God has been there for me through the hardest moments of my life. He Lives is a small way to make room for His Word in an ordinary day: one passage each hour, the words of Christ in red, and nothing competing for your attention.

## What's there

The home page shows one King James passage each hour, and **Explore more** opens it on Bible Gateway. Genesis 1–3 is a visual meditation. The Scriptures page names the whole Protestant canon, and the Faith page is the confession.

The King James Version is public domain in the United States, so the text can be shared freely.
