We're still addressing Josh's question about what Bible is better, a paper one or a digital

one.

And last time you made a case for caution when using digital Bibles in church, but also

said it's an inevitable trend in the church as well.

So what about in our personal devotional reading, what Bible is best, ink and paper or digital

pixels?

The main point I made last time when we were talking about digital reading of the Bible

is that the word of God is not identical with the ink and the paper, but the words themselves

in their grammatical context and therefore it's not of the essence whether we read on paper

or read on a screen and what matters is that we read it, understand it, memorize it for

our souls and for our ministry and that we love and worship the God it reveals and obey

it.

Here are the upsides to digital reading of the Bible in private.

I didn't get to say anything about that.

We talked about public use of it, but there are upsides and downsides to it.

Here's some upsides, it's easy to have with you everywhere you go.

This is wonderful both for reading for our own souls and for review in memory work and

for having it there to talk with anybody about the Bible.

How many times in previous eras did we get into a conversation and wish we could just show

them what we're trying to quote from the Bible and now we can just reach through our pocket

and do it.

So that's one, it accesses everywhere.
