I'd like my site users at http://www.gilvarrywebdesign.com to be able to resize the text. I'm thinking something like that which is found on http://www.biblegateway.com.

Any suggestions on how I could do this?

Oh yes, I am re-designing the website so that it will be friendlier to different text sizes, smaller/larger browser windows, etc.

Enter Alternative Style Sheet Switching, read especially ALA's article Invasion of the Body Switchers.

For starters, I recommend that you remove all <font> tags. Then go through your style sheet and remove as many font sizes as you can.

AFAICS, you haven't prevented visitors from resizing fonts. You've just mucked with the default font size with a confusing combination of <font size=...> tags and percentage font sizes in your CSS.
