Some say that it is old-fashioned to actually sit down in a recliner next to a warm fire and read your Bible. Nowadays, the Bible is so accessible, it doesn’t matter where you are.
Many CD packages are available that one can purchase that have the entire Bible on them. The “Word of Promise Complete Audio Bible” has famous narrators such as: Jim Caviezel, Richard Dreyfuss and Marissa Tomei.
For the majority of people, especially college students, Facebook is a way of life now. For those who enjoy getting a daily dose of the Bible and feeling encouraged, Facebook has the option of giving you an inspirational Bible verse every day. You can even become a fan of “Bible Quotes” on Facebook. Surprisingly, they have their own page.
Apple has also jumped in on the “eBible” wagon by providing many different Bible applications (apps) available to those who have an iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad. There are apps with longer, more complex Bible verses or a daily inspirational Bible quote.
There is an entire app called the Holy Bible. This includes many different languages as well as translations. You can even highlight key verses as well as make notes in the margins.
Are the days of the “old-fashioned” paper Bible over? Hardly. There will always be people out there who prefer to read the hard copy of the Bible. If you’re in church and the pastor asks you to pull out your Bible and turn to the book of James, it would be better to have an actual Bible than pulling out your iPad during the sermon. (It would be distracting.)
Whether you prefer to read your Bible at home and flip through the pages, or if you would rather check your Facebook to see what wonderful thing God has to say to you today, the Bible will always be available.
