USEFUL: Blue Letter Bible

Everyone knows about Biblegateway.Com as a great resource for online Bible reading, but have you checked out Blue Letter Bible? This relatively new Bible website not only gives you the raw scripture in your chosen translation, but has one-click access to a parallel Bible (view any verse in all available translations, including the original Greek/Hebrew), commentaries, Bible dictionaries, and more! It can be a great resource when you're ready to really dig into the Word.

Click through and check it out. It could be a very valuable tool for the 2011-2012 season!

Some things don't mix

Daily Devotionals with Christian Musicians

There are many disciplines in life which are useful in growing in your relationship with God, but there is one that was hard for me as a teenager - the daily devotional and Bible reading. This is not Bible Quizzing studying, where you are focused on memorizing the text, but rather engaging God's word to see how He is speaking to you.

So, I was excited to see Scriptures from the Heart, a new daily devotional study lead by various Christian artists looking to help you engage scripture and consider the place of the Bible in your life. It can be a fun way to establish the every-day discipline of spending time with God.

A survey is coming!

Be watching your in-boxes! In an effort to continue to improve the quizzing experience, I am looking to make some design changes to the QuizPad.Com website. I'll be sending out an e-mail to all quizzers, coaches, and parents with an embedded survey asking what you like about the website, what you don't like, and what ideas you'd like to see for next season. Start thinking now about what you want to say.

Watch out!

WordLive brings an online Bible experience

Christianty Today has up an interesting article about a new website called WordLive which attempts to bring multimedia Bible studies to the Web.

WordLive, a year in the making, is a response to a 36 per cent growth in internet use in the past five years. Government statistics show that in Britain today 15 million households (61 per cent) are connected to the internet, a rise of four million on 2002. And while three-quarters of users are under 50, almost 20 per cent of over-65s surf the net. Many other people access the internet at school, in their office and in public libraries.

"We believe WordLive will help to bring God’s Word alive across the generations," says Keith. "We’re able to give people access to whole range of multi-media ways into the Bible that we haven’t been able to do before in print.
