Online Bibles

This coming Sunday evening we are going to be doing the third is our once a month series looking at different methods of studying the Bible, based on Rick Warren's Bible Study Methods.

This week we are looking at Thematic Bible Study - where we will learn about searching the Bible to see what it says on a particular theme. This involves picking a theme, choosing a few questions to ask, and then searching the text for a variety of key words.

One study I am looking forward to doing, in the not too distant future, is looking to see the things that Paul prayed for the churches he was involved in.

I will search on the words pray, prayer, prayers etc (pray*) from Romans to Philemon; and will ask the questions:

1) What does Paul pray for others?
2) What will be the outcome of these prayers?

One way of generating a list of verses would be to look in a concordance. But I have recently been directed to an online Bible that allows you to search part of the Bibles for words or phrases. If you're interested in this sort of thing, it is worth checking out. Click on the link below.
