Read full descriptionHide full description
Ask the hard questions. Get Scripture back. Explore the Word answers your questions about the Bible and cites the verses behind every answer, so you can tap straight through and read them in context. Then keep reading with no signal at all. It is built for the questions you have been carrying. The ones that feel too basic to ask out loud, the ones that feel too difficult, and the ones that arrive at eleven at night when there is nobody to ask. WHY THIS ONE ⢠Every answer cites Scripture you can open and check for yourself ⢠Seven translations across three languages, all working offline ⢠The King James Version is built in, so there is nothing to download before you read ⢠Free, with no adverts and no selling of your data ASK ANYTHING ⢠Plain-language questions, structured answers: a brief overview, the spiritual context, and a note on biblical accuracy ⢠Starter prompts grouped as Understand, Wrestle and Apply ⢠Tap any verse reference inside an answer to open that passage ⢠Cited verses listed in full at the end of every answer ⢠Edit a question and regenerate the answer ⢠Conversations save to your history and sync between your devices READ ANYWHERE ⢠Seven translations: King James Version, American Standard Version, World English Bible Updated, English Standard Version, Tamil Contemporary Version, Tamil IRV (2019), and the Chinese Contemporary Bible ⢠The KJV ships inside the app; add any other as a one-time download ⢠Tamil and Chinese render properly, script and all ⢠Switch translation mid-chapter and stay on the same passage ⢠Whole-word search across all 66 books ⢠Verses arrive highlighted, whether you came from a search or from an answer ⢠Ask AI about this verse takes the passage straight back into conversation SERMON NOTES ⢠Capture the title, date, speaker and church ⢠Attach passages from a searchable picker, then tap a verse chip to open the reader ⢠Tag your notes, and filter by speaker, church, tag or date ⢠Write with no signal; notes sync once you are back online ⢠Share a note as text EVERY DAY ⢠A daily verse in your chosen translation, with an optional reminder at a time you set ⢠A full dark theme for reading at night ⢠Layouts that hold their shape at the largest accessibility text sizes WORTH BEING CLEAR ABOUT An account is required, and it is free. It is what lets your sermon notes and chat history follow you between your own devices. Answers are generated, and generated text can be mistaken. Every answer cites its passages and puts them one tap away precisely because you are meant to check them. Treat this as a study aid that helps you find and understand Scripture, not as a replacement for reading the passage yourself, for your own study, or for your pastor and church.
Topic To Preach
Read full descriptionHide full description
Topic to Preach is a study desk for the preacher. Every topic stands on a passage, and every claim it makes can be traced back to the Greek text. WHAT IS INSIDE ⢠1120 sermon topics covering all 2262 pericopes of the canon ā no gaps. ⢠Each topic follows an eight-step method: subject, theme, title, proposition, key word, transitional sentence, sections, conclusion. ⢠The Greek New Testament word by word, with a gloss under each word, the parse read out in plain words, and Strong's numbers. ⢠A concordance over every Strong's number in the Textus Receptus, showing where else the word stands and which topics rest on it. ⢠A Scripture map: a coverage grid over every book, so you can see what the topics reach and what they do not. ⢠A guide that asks a few questions and hands you the topics that fit. ⢠Bookmarks, private notes, and outline export as text or PDF. ⢠A church-year calendar with the topics that suit each feast. ⢠Ukrainian and English throughout ā the interface, every topic, and the word glosses. THE TEXTS Ukrainian ā the translation by Ivan Ohiienko. English ā the King James Version. Greek ā the Textus Receptus, Scrivener 1894, with Strong's numbers and morphology. Cross references from openbible.info. OFFLINE AND PRIVATE Everything is bundled with the app. There is no account, no network request, no analytics. Your notes and bookmarks stay on your device. A WORD OF CAUTION This app is a helper, not an authority. The topics and explanations are study aids and may contain mistakes. Always read the passage in full and check for yourself before you preach from it.
