Blue Letter???
2 Feb
I have no idea why they call it “Blue Letter Bible“. But they do.
I use www.youversion.com a lot, or Bible Gateway, but this looks intriguing. Not quite as well done as youVersion, but still good stuff. Check it out.
I REALLY like paper and ink books in the world of Bible study. I’m not sure why; it’s probably because my college education was done just prior to the Internet / Information Age. We actually went to a library, referenced a card catalog, pulled a bunch of books off a shelf, and used the index to find out if the guy had written anything of relevance. That, you see, to me, was the “good old days”.
But I’ll use online tools when necessary, because I simply can’t afford enough good books, and Crossroads doesn’t have a very extensive library. Well, really we don’t HAVE a library, just a bookshelf full of donated books for the borrowing.
All of us Christians can use good tools as we seek to be LIKE CHRIST.

I’m still one of those weird preachers (at 37, mind you) who spreads all of his books and study helps out on his desk and a table behind him. Then I write my messages out longhand.
Even though I appreciate the technology, I love the “feel” of a book in my hands, especially if its over a hundred years old (the text, not the book itself).
I would be much more honest to say “I prefer paper and ink books when I actually get around to studying the Bible”, rather than implying that I’m some hyper-dedicated student who reads 3 theology manuals daily…
You? Weird? Surely not.
Thanks for your comments. Tell that lil girl Happy Birthday.
