Bible Reading Trends & Mobile Devices

Posted By Eric Dye on April 8, 2013

The trend of Bible engagement–aka: reading the Bible, living the Bible, understanding the Bible–has taken a serious nosedive.

This was really alarming to me, especially if you take the word Bible and replace it with God’s Word. After all, that’s what it is, and if we don’t know what God has to say, then there’s hardly any chance we can live in a Godly manner.

With that in mind, this infographic by Kenny Jahng of Liquid Church tells us that:

700 people stop reading God’s Word every day
25% less people in one generation are occasional readers
And 40% of those reading God’s Word feel confused, overwhelmed, doubtful, bored and discouraged.

But wait, there’s more:

Posted By Eric Dye on March 29, 2013

As we think about and retell the story of our crucified and resurrected Lord, I found this infographic particularly interesting, today.

It answers a few questions, such as:

What do Americans believe about the Bible?
What role does it play in their lives?
And more.

The Story ESV Bible [Easter Outreach Resource]

Posted By Eric Dye on March 19, 2013

The Story ESV Bible is an excellent resource for sharing the Gospel, and with this current Easter special, your church could consider providing your Easter service guests with a copy!

Launched just last month, “this new outreach Bible features a 12-page, beautifully designed and full-color presentation of the storyline of the Bible. The material covers creation, the fall, the death and resurrection of Jesus, and the hope of the second coming. It also provides a clear invitation to readers to receive Christ as their Savior. Specially prepared, full-page introductions by the creators of The Story show how each Bible book contributes to the Bible’s storyline.”

And it even has a cool mobile app!

YouVersion, the Bible App offering from Lifechurch.tv continues to evolve, and this month, it added video content to it Android and iOS ports.

The addition of this functionality coincides with the being selected as the official application of Bible Series, which just premiered on the History Channel.

Swearing on an App: The Bible in the Future

Posted By Phil Schneider on March 6, 2013

I was scrolling through my Google Reader the other day when I stumbled across this article:

iPad with Bible app saves the day at firefighters swearing-in ceremony

I immediately started reading. Here’s the basic story: someone forgot to bring a Bible to a ceremonial swearing-in of some newly promoted firefighters. Clearly, this wasn’t the end of the world, but my old-school, “raised on the KJV” mentality kicked in. Long story short, I was angry. For at least a day or two, I slowly fumed about this.

“An app isn’t the Word of God!” I kept saying to myself.

Posted By Marcus Williamson on February 6, 2013

Reading the Bible out loud from memory can be an ambitious challenge; that is if it’s just you.

But, what happens when you have thousands of people contributing to the same goal?

YouDevotion: 5 Daily Devotionals in 1 Mobile App!

Posted By Eric Dye on January 31, 2013

This past Summer I reviewed a set of devotional apps for iOS/Android. They were pretty solid, but I had a few critiques:

“The $1.99 price point seems a little high, to me, considering you’re only paying for features while the content has simply been regenerated.

Now, had this entire list of apps been crammed into one, you’d be a fool not to jump on it! [bold added]

Despite the price point, if you’re in the need for a daily devotional app, this is one to consider. I read a hardback version of Streams, so the Daily Streams app is really tempting me! It would be great to have it on my mobile device!”

I hope it isn’t too weird that I quoted myself, but I thought I would save you a click to the post.

The developer of this fine app followed my advice and now delivers all five devotionals into one app! It’s EPIC!

About Us:

We've been insanely-interested in exploring how the Church, ministries, and non-profits use technology to effectively fulfill their mission to the world.

With a small blog that started in September of 2008 we grew faster than we had ever dared to dream expanding into a network of blogs that reached more than a quarter million people every single month.

In May of 2011 we re-focused our efforts bringing all of the content back into one solidified brand - a "digital magazine" of resources that still serve the same industries and that still has the same curious heartbeat that started this movement.

Join us - there is still much to be explored.
