Sound Advice on BibleWorks, Logos, and Accordance

I agree with this guy. If you are wondering which Bible software to buy, his advice will help.

I’ll add one other thing: if you like keyboard shortcuts and overall computer quickness, BibleWorks beats Logos.

Ok, one more thing: I have BibleWorks and Logos, and I don’t feel I wasted my money. I buy BibleWorks for the searching and original language tools; I get Logos for the commentaries, books, journals, and reference works. Admittedly, there’s some overlap in the capabilities of the two programs, but each one does its thing so well that they’re both always running on my computer.

Free Cartoon Fridays (Aug 28): “The Drive-In Altar Call”

Welcome back to Free Cartoon Friday!

Check back each week for a free cartoon I failed to sell to Christian pastors’ magazines in 2005!

Any real cartoonists out there who are willing to put my ideas in more appealing visual form and sell them?

βλογάπη

My blog has a new name to go along with its new design: βλογάπη. “Marklwardjr,” the old name, was just way too eponymous.

After almost two years, and now having reached the two-subscriber mark (my mother-in-law recently signed up), I think it’s time to pick a name that reflects the twin themes of the blog: theology and tech. As they used to say on the SAT, blog : agape :: tech : theology.

There are a few reasons I talk so much about tech:

• I really believe our generation—of theological students in particular—needs guidance in the use of technology.
• Few other nerdy Fundamentalists combine the twin themes of “Ra Ra!” and “Cave Canem!” when it comes to tech, so I have stepped into the gap.

There are a few reasons why ἀγάπη (agape) makes up the second half of my blog’s new name:

• I can’t help talking about ἀγάπη, because as Hezekiah 45:55 says, “Out of the abundance of the dissertation, the fingers type.”
• I want my blog to provoke you to love and good works. I know it pushes me toward those things, partly through the interaction I get to have with you sometimes. I thank you, my readers, sincerely for that. I dearly want to be holy, and God says we need each other to make that happen.

My RSS feed will remain the same.
