Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. -2 Timothy 2:15
The summer is a great time for some rest and relaxation. But, it is also a great opportunity to dive a little deeper into the Word of God. Here are three free mobile applications to assist you.
1. Bible.is
Bible.is is a great app for reading the Bible, but it's killer feature is that it is an amazing audio Bible. Bible.is has a standard audio Bible, and a dramatic audio Bible. The dramatic audio is one of my favorite features. The dramatic audio uses voice actors, sound effects, and music to make the Scriptures come alive. So, whether your working, play, or just chilling, Bible.is will help you meditate on God's Word. (Note: Bible.is does not default to KJV, so you must select it from the menu.)
2. Blue Letter Bible
Blue Letter Bible (BLB) is a great free resource. BLB has commentaries, dictionaries, and other study materials in one small mobile application. Back in the day, these books would cover an entire bookshelf, but now we can access it all for free from our tablet or mobile device.
3. Olive Tree Bible+
Olive Tree Bible is an outstanding way to keep your Bible reading fresh. One of my favorite features is the reading plans. They have a 90 day Bible reading plan, a Chronological reading plan, and many other helpful ideas for scheduled Bible reading. Another nifty thing is that as you read, if you desire, you can share the verses or passages to your social networks to encourage others. Olive Tree Bible does have many Bible Study resources, but some of them are paid downloads. (Note: Olive Tree Bible does not default to KJV, but it can be easily changed under the libraries tab.)
