Stephen M. Miller – My fav Bible app, so
far” on Tuesday, 3 December 2013
I LIKE IT. BibleGateway.com and the
BibleGateway app. Free as a bee’s knees. Sweet as a chunk of honeycomb to folks
like me, who enjoy chewing on the Bible.
I WAS BUMMED when the Bible study
software I had used for over a decade got bought out by a company that—as far
as I was concerned—took the software in the direction of stinky cheese.
I was used to that software, and it was
important to my writing.
I used it mainly for just two things:
Compare Bible translations side by side
Look up Bible verses by searching a key
word or phrase
Goodbye stinky cheese software, crippled
by my Windows 8 update and doomed by the software company’s refusal to offer
any support for the software I updated just two years ago.
I’m getting my Bible study help for free
now.
One word: BibleGateway.com. Winner of the
2013 Christian New Media Award.
This is not a paid ad.
It’s the heads up of an appreciative
writer of easy-reading Bible reference books.
BG doesn’t even know I’m writing this.
And they probably don’t like being called BG.
You can use their free resource on your
computer. And, if you’re smart, you’ll download their free app to your
smartphone.
I have the website up on my screen as I
type this. I’m working with Samson’s story, in Judges. I have six Bible
versions on screen, side by side.
There are over 100 versions to choose
from on their site.
Several I’ve seen so far have little
speakers beside the name of the Bible version. That’s a clue. If I push the
button, someone will read the passage to me.
Of the six versions I have on screen at
the moment, the versions that will read to me are the New International
Version, Contemporary English Version, and the King James Version.
I wanted to make sure you folks knew
about this resource. Most souls in my Sunday Bible study group didn’t.
You’re very welcome.
