Draughting Theology ~ wonderful blog by the Rev. Steve Pankey

https://draughtingtheology.wordpress.com/

For "PayItForward" and "FollowFriday",  I highly recommend the wonderful blog, "Draughting Theology," by my old seminary friend, the Rev. Steve Pankey.  Steve is a dedicated blogger, who has blogged about the Bible for many years now.  Over these years, he has delved deeply into all sorts of questions of scripture, and has a way not only with language, but also with connecting the scriptures to everyday life.  His devotion to scripture is impressive, and his thoughtfulness is deep.  He has a large following, and it is richly deserved.  If you have not checked out his blog, I highly recommend it!

Dr. Stephen Cook's Blog ~ Biblische Ausbildung

 

For this "Pay it Forward"/#FollowFriday, I want to highlight the excellent blog of my former seminary professor, Dr. Stephen L. Cook.  Dr. Cook is a scholar of the Old Teatament / Hebrew Bible at Virginia Theological Seminary.  He is an excellent teacher, scholar, and mentor, and has taught hundreds of students in his career.  Dr. Cook's love and devotion of scripture is intertwined with a keen and incisive mind and many years of delving into the Old Testament / Holy Scriptures.  Do go check out his excellent blog, Biblische Ausbildung!

New “Workflow” for iOS Olive Tree Bible Study App

I know this a Bible-Geeky thing to have done, but I’ve been fooling around with using the WORKFLOW iPhone app to create a verse-chooser today-widget and homescreen icon for iPhone and iPad. Try it out and let me know what you think. You can enter the full name of the Bible Book, or you can use any of Olive Tree’s Bible Book abbreviations. Essentially, the "workflow" opens the BibleStudy app to any specific text reference.  To enjoy, click here.
