REDEEMING TIME
Often the reason given for not reading your Bible is a lack of time, whether it be work, children or just the feeling of being overwhelmed. This app helps you reclaim your time each day, better still, you won’t need to cancel or change anything in your diary! Here are 6 reasons your should download the app:
1. It’s Free! – Whether you are on Apple or Android, the app is free!
2. It’s simple! – All you need to do is tell the app how much time you think you have, and it will give you all the options of what you can manage to read in that time. Usually split into books or chapters.
3. Starts with Prayer! – Before each reading, the app gives you a simple short prayer, focusing your heart on the Lord as you seek to read His word.
4. Linked to BibleGateway! – No need for another Bible app, Redeeming Time links straight to BibleGateway. Not only will it tell you what you can read, it directs you straight to the reading!
5. Application Questions! – At the end of each reading three application questions are given to help you consider how the reading impacts your life and how you can share the Word of God with others.
6. Bible Versions! – You can choose from the KJV, ESV or NIV.
Whether you are waiting for a bus, standing in a queue at the supermarket or eating your breakfast, the Redeeming Time App helps you read the Word of God without changing your busy schedule! The blessing, well that’s clear, the Word of God woven through your everyday life!
