Many of you have mobile devices (smartphones) capable of accessing internet webpages anytime you want. Over the past two years I have discovered a few mobile online Bibles that you may find handy. These links below are specially formatted for easy viewing on small screens like your phones.

http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/mobile/ - My new favorite. Offers an easy-to-navigate layout and the pages load very fast. English Standard Version only.
http://mbible.com - The site I’ve used the most. Offers 14 different translations.
http://m.youversion.com/ - From LifeChurch.tv. A site that I’ve rarely used but has a lot of buzz in the blogosphere.

With these websites you can carry The Gospel around with you anywhere you have your mobile device with a data plan. Of course, you could always go out and buy software Bibles to put on your phone. I’ll let you determine the pros and cons of doing that.

Bibles don’t come from bookstores. While that’s where we may procure a Bible, I’m not so sure where the text within came from. I have questions: Who wrote it? When? In what language? Does the text we have today come from an autograph (author’s original penned text) or a copy? Who copied it, and how do I know they copied it accurately? Who compiled the individual books and letters into what we know today as the canonical Bible? How did they decide which books to include and which to exclude? Are there conflicting accounts of the same event between texts?

Here are my current picks for Best Christian Resources. I will keep this list current to reflect any changes in my preferences.

Bible Resources:
Best English Bible Translation: English Standard Version
Best Bible Commentary: Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture
Best Irenic Study Bible: NASB Study Bible

Best Concordance: NASB Exhaustive Concordance

Let me make quite clear at the outset that I believe in the both the infallibility and inerrancy of Scripture. I believe that the Bible is inerrant … i.e., that the Scriptures in the atographa [original writings] are without any errors whatsoever - historical, scientific, or theological.

Having said that, sometimes Christians are accused of virtually worshiping the Bible. I suspect that many Christians have the doctrine of inerrancy in their essentials basket. I disagree that one must understand and believe this doctrine to be genuinely saved. (If you really believe the doctrine of inerrancy is essential for salvation than you had better be sharing it every time you share the gospel, no exceptions. Otherwise, you are not faithful to what you believe.)
