The Bible sometimes could seem like a complex book which could affect a lot of people from truly understanding what God is saying in his word. The sole purpose of this app is to give new and growing believers a better understanding of the scriptures and the things of God. One of the major ways we seek to accomplish this is by adding an extended explanation to the Bible books. Starting from the gospel of the book of John we’ve helped readers simplify the scriptures by adding commentaries after every chapter of this book. We intend on eventually adding commentaries to majority of the books in the Bible (new and Old Testament) and you will be notified as this is done. While the Bible is a book with unending revelation and many times they can be quite personal to the believer, our commentaries are not a limited knowledge of what the scriptures are saying. So if anything, it should move individuals to dive deeper with the Holy Spirit than just the commentary level in order to encounter the deep treasures of the word. We just want you to grow. Your growth is all our growth, because the body of Christ is one. Our hope is to make us one really big family through this app. - Here are some of the features that could be of benefits to our users Verse of the day - This section allows us to send out selected verses daily to all our users and will also include an explanation/commentary of what God is saying Take sermon notes - This is a unique section which allows the believer to take notes in church or at a Bible study or any gathering. Not only that, but We’ve included the ability for users to be able to tag Bible scriptures in this section, this allows users to go back to their notes, click the tagged scriptures and read the referenced Bible passage. As of the moment of our app release, This feature is ONLY available on our app “FTS. Bible” which makes us quite unique. And it’s all available for free use Media - This section of the app allows us to send our users podcasts, worship, praise, rap, sermons etc and all the materials that could be of benefit to the spiritual growth of our users. You will discover many new Christian creators on here who will bless you with their work & ministry. Faith based questions - This section of the app answers a lot of faith based questions that many people have. These are mostly questions that come from people who don’t identify themselves as Christians and sometimes can even come from believers themselves. A lot of times these questions are ignored by many in the faith. We’ve taken some of those questions and tried to answer them the best way we can, this could many times be the difference between a saved souk and an unsaved soul. Prayer request - This section of the app acknowledges that the believers all have prayer needs that need to be met everyday. Users will be able to send in their prayer requests here. We’re really a family and a selected group of people will be praying for you every single day. Your stand with Christ - This is the first section that users come across on the app. It allows users to state their stand with Jesus Christ, this gives the admin valuable information like who joined as an unbeliever and then converted to be saved and etc.
