Ron Beers: Zephaniah 1:4-6 talks about how the Israelites’ worship of idols led them away from God and thus recognizing his guidance. Today we don’t worship idols of wood or stone, but we wrestle with “idols of technology.” The life application note bridges the gap between worshiping idols of wood and stone in ancient times to worshiping our cell phones, social media, and even our circle of friends, making the point that anything that takes first place in our lives is an idol and how important it is to recognize that. Only God can have first place in our life.

You don’t need WiFi to access your Bible, audio Bible, or any other Bible study tools. If your phone is working, so is your offline Bible app. Simply a blessing! Been using now for four years. I preach at a prison four days a week, then I take the same men out and we work together. And this app is my main tool. It enables me to save my scriptures that my pastor teaches on from sermons at my church and refreshes me as I put together sermons for Monday through Thursday. I like the search capability when I am building sermons as well. I spend time with many people that are un-churched and non-scriptural if you will, So this thing is extremely handy. That doesn’t sound very technical because when you’re out in the street, life is not technical, It is spiritual. I would like for all the people involved in this project to know that you are blessing many many folks especially myself, and all the people whose lives I am blessed to be able to touch. I would like to thank you very very much and please continue your work in Jesus name.Ron Beers: These are the two most popular “modern” translations in the US right now. They are both excellent for reading and study. The NLT would lean more toward a “thought-for-thought” translation philosophy (putting greater emphasis on the intended original meaning of a passage) while the NIV would lean a bit more literal in its translation philosophy (putting slightly more emphasis on translating each word with its original language equivalent). Both translation philosophies have their merits. I’m a member of the Central Bible Translation Committee for the New Living Translation (NLT), so I am of course biased in that direction! New features include: a refreshed interior design with a second color for visual clarity; meaningfully updated study notes and features; and the Christian Worker's Resource- a special supplement to enhance the reader's ministry effectiveness. Give an example of a difficult passage of Scripture for which notes are written to better understand it. The LASB Third Edition is published in both the New Living Translation and the New International Version Bible texts. How do they differ from each other? What was the original decision process in selecting which passages of Scripture would be associated with study notes?

God has been speaking to His people for thousands of years… and that takes some research to understand! That is why we provide digital books (free & paid) to help you go deeper into God’s Word. Co-publisher of the Life Application Study Bible, Third Edition is HarperCollins Christian Publishing, Inc., the parent company of Bible Gateway. So it sent me on a search through all the available study Bibles on the market. I found study notes about Wormwood but no notes on Worry. I found notes on Phylacteries, but not a single note on Purpose or Priorities. I found notes on the town of Gozan but nothing on Goals. This research begged the question: If the Bible is supposed to be a blueprint for living, then there should be plenty of verses that show us how to live as a disciple of Jesus, how we can live transformed lives, how to bear much fruit (as Jesus put it). But not a single study Bible did this—there was lots of information, but no application. Other than the issue with notes listed above everything is good. I'd give the software 5/5 stars if it wasn't for the inconvenience of not being able to have attachments as that is the biggest issue. Ron Beers: Time and spiritual warfare. We all had other full-time jobs, but for a year we put in an additional 30-40 hours per week to meet our deadlines. We pretty much worked seven days a week for over a year. During that time we felt intense spiritual warfare: weird things happening to us and our families, an intense heaviness in our souls. This also happened when we first developed the LASB, so it wasn’t surprising to see it happening again. The Enemy doesn’t want God’s Word to be read and applied—not in any culture. After all, as Ephesians 6:12 says, we are “not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world.”Subscriptions may be managed, and auto-renewal turned off, by visiting your iTunes Account Settings after purchasing.
