The time is the verse. At 3:16 Bible Minute shows John 3:16. At 8:28 it is Romans 8:28. A minute later it is a different book and a different line, so the day reads through Scripture one minute at a time. A VERSE FOR EVERY MINUTE Every one of the 720 minutes on a twelve hour clock has a verse of its own, from the World English Bible. The best known minutes read the verse you would expect: 3:16 is John, 6:23 is Romans, 11:28 is Matthew. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN AND LOCK SCREEN Small, medium and large widgets keep the verse on your Home Screen, and the large widget always shows the whole verse. On the Lock Screen the citation and the start of the verse sit under the clock. It works in StandBy too. A CLOCK WORTH LEAVING OPEN Photographs that follow the time of day, from first light to night, drift slowly behind the verse. The screen stays on while the clock is open, so it can sit on a desk or a nightstand. SHARE A MINUTE Tap the verse to share it. The link opens that minute's own page, with the verse on it. THE TEXT Verses are quoted word for word from the World English Bible, which is in the public domain, with the divine name rendered as "the LORD." In a few hours the last minutes have no verse in the 66 books, and those come from the deuterocanonical books, mostly 1 Maccabees. Photographs are from Pixabay, and every one is credited to its photographer inside the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-in and nothing collected. The verses and the photographs are all inside the app, so it works offline. Made by The Sunrise, the makers of Rise in Grace, Bird Rise and Moon Rise.
