Bible app on the phone, enable notifications.
Check mate.
true
Does anyone have a Bible app recommendation? Maybe one that help you decipher the Greek version?
I have one called YouVersion which has a ton of different versions to choose from and some are audio too which is good on the go. It also has a daily thing so keeps you in the mindset.
I like this one too, the daily plans are nice.
I like to use the interlinear tool on biblehub for greek and hebrew. I'm not a phone guy so I don't know if there is an app version.

Cheers fren, I'm ordering a pocket sized one now.
I have resumed daily readings before I start my day, it has blessed me immeasurably. Draw close to God and He will draw close to you. Time well spent.
A chapter in the morning, and a chapter before I go to bed.
I read a chapter of the Old, a Psalm and a chapter of the New Testament in the morning, and plus Bagster's Daily Light. It is so good to be inspired, corrected, guided and assured of perfect love and protection. God is good.
I’ve been going straight through chronological style. As much as I can get through in the morning depending on the content. How foolish I was to ever think I had read God’s word enough. God is sooooo good! What a blessing to be called back to Him. I love this idea you propose. Something special to a physical copy. I have my grandfathers ww2 metal plated Bible that might work nicely. What is a soldier without their sword handy?
Yes. And remembered verses, like Q posts and deltas.
What if we honored God in absolutely everything we do like the satanist have been doing with their dark god.
Absolutely beautiful. God bless u keep being the light. We will win because God already won
Jesus is the light; I am blessed to know Him and strive to follow Him as much as I can. Thank our Heavenly Father for His precious gift to us.
Welsh revival hymn, several recordings on YT.
Bless you, Fren
I approve this message.
Some of us do.
I think there's an app for that.
The problem is that phones have so many time wasting distractions that people have developed addictions to the mini dopamine hits. Even if the app is there, it will almost certainly not be used frequently.
People are on their phones far more than 1hr per day.
Careful! May offend atheists!! /s /?
Olive Tree Bible app is the best one that I've found.
Dont want to do that with either tbh
I prefer the KJV, hard copy. Sick of soulless electonic gizmos.
We'd be a bunch of religious nuts holding on to religion instead of s real relationship with God. The Bible is an idol for weak minded followers.
You know you are supposed to open it and read it, right?
Oh wow, I never thought of that, gee, thanks guy
If you had, then you would know why it is so highly respected. However the Bible came into being, God knew that it would be taken as His word. So nothing is in there that isn't a part of His intended message to us.
That last sentence is a complete fantasy. Unless He told you that directly of course. I mean, as far as cosmic assumptions go, that’s a big one. What if He expects you to understand that it’s a book written by men and not God. Which is the actual truth. I’m not saying a lot of it wasn’t inspired by the Almighty, but he didn’t sit down and write the King James Version, right? Maybe a lot of politics went into that and every other translation?
So there could be plenty in there that has nothing to do with His message. And there is.
The Bible is massively fallible. Luke and Mathew disagree on who Jesus’s granddads name is and who shows up on Jesus’s birth and how many people showed up at the tomb and who they were. That’s because those parts were written by different sects. Mathew and Luke is mostly a cut and paste of Mark.
Don’t put your faith in a book. Only God is God.
You are right about that, and no doubt some people put too much faith in the book itself, like a charm, but most people do have faith in God first. My point is only that God would know that the Bible would be taken as his Word, no matter how the Bible came into being. While there are issues with trying to Express the perfect nature of God in vastly imperfect and limited human language, God meant for every thing in there to be in there. If a passage doesn't make sense, I think it's becuase we're doing it wrong. We're actually mostly in agreement. Care must be taken to put our faith only in God. I'm just saying the Bible offers the best and most complete insight into God's nature and relationship with us. I don't think many will be lead astray by a return to Biblical based teaching however, becuase it is God's Word and will lead most to God.
Even the part that says that you have no need of anything written on paper, because you now have the spirit of God in you?
It us the Spirit of God that guides me in the reading of His word, as well as in the living of life. In this you are right that we should always be listening for God's guidance. Sometimes, He uses the ancient texts of the Bible, other times He uses contemporary works, people, or even supernatural visions. It is that Spirit that helps me to know that it is indeed God attempting to reach me via those things.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness 2 Timothy 3:16
For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Hebrews 4:12
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
Yes, putting something else in the place of God is idolatry, but the bible IS the inspired word of God. The Lord is very clear about how highly he regards his word.
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Psalm 138:2
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. Mark 13:31
It is very important to have a real relationship with God, and we should be spending adequate time in worship and in prayer. We should not, however, throw away our bibles. We should be reading his word, but also doing his word.
Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves. James 1:22
.
Remember the scribes and the pharisees, they would walk around with magnificent robes and a phylactery on their head containing verses from scripture. Although they carried scripture with them everywhere they went, they were not seeking a relationship with God, but to be seen and revered by men for their supposed "holiness".
.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people’s bones and all uncleanness. Matthew 23:27
The Bible is a key to a Bigger World, but it is not the end all be all.
To me the Bible is great as far as insight goes. But for use as a life guide, it is idolatry at its finest and actually against the very words written in it. I don't need a book to know God. It's that simple.
Yep. People seem to forget the Inquisition started with religious devotion.
Yeah, too many people worship that book and their religion. It really does get in the way of a true and total connection with your Creator. As the second commandment points out. Don’t worship or call Devine anything made by the hands of men. The Bible was made by men. Yet people call it the Word of God. Yet the Bible says the Word of God is Jesus. So calling the Bible that is basic blasphemy and idolatry.
Yet here we are. People need their totems. They’re basically security blankets. God help you if you try to free them from the bindings of organized religion. They’re likely to murder you on a cross like they did to poor Jesus.
