E-Sword - the handy dandy Bible tool
There’s a program I’ve been using for a while now. It’s called E-Sword and you can obtain it free for the downloading at www.e-sword.net . There are a wide variety of Bible translations available for it, in a wide variety of languages. There are also many study tools, commentaries and other add ons available - all for the same price of downloading. Donations are accepted, but not required. In this world of “consumerism driven Christianity” it’s refreshing to see God’s word distributed in a useful manner that is accessible to folks from all levels of society. There’s plenty of high dollar, copyrighted material out there. I often wonder what would have happened to the Scriptures if the Apostles had copyrighted their work and demanded payment for distribution of their writings? Oh, I’m not against folks making a living, but too often we seek monetary gain rather then the payment that the Lord will provide us for our faithfulness to Him in teaching others and providing for them to be able to draw nearer to Him. Anyway, it’s good to know that some folks have the vision of sharing with others things which will have an eternal impact. Thanks, www.e-sword.net for providing these tools for the Kingdom.
