Shawn does outstanding job explaining how to use Blue Letter Bible. As importantly, he lives out what he teaches.

Sommerkamp is an awesome last name! 😎👍

I use the Blue Letter Bible app on my phone and tablet.

08:05 I literally, just minutes before watching this video, used the Matthew Henry commentary while working on my Sunday School lesson for this mornings adult class.

I use e-Sword on my computer, but I may have to look into BBB for there as well for what he has shown in this video.

Another excellent feature that it works just as well on the phone app. 40 years ago what I did with paper concordance takes me minutes instead of an hour.

This is really helpful, thank you so much! Would love to hear what you have to say about Matthew Henry. Will definitely be using this resource now all because of you and your informative video. Praise the Lord!

Thank you so much for this instructional video!

Thank you so much, this was very helpful!

Thanks for this new tool. I'm going to check it out. I enjoy the paper Thompson Chain Reference also.

Great video, thanks! any thoughts on how to document what you are learning, like if you wanted to do a blog on propitiation, or just for personal Bible study for example? I guess you could copy and paste as you go and put it in a word doc???

Thanks so much. I looked at Logos and it seemed overwhelming. I'm not a pastor but I go out soul-winning for my church. I will try the blue letter Bible software.

I use this for all my studies and prep for Prison Ministry

Love the BLB. Use it to take notes along with scriptures. But I really would like to print my notes. Does the BLB have a way to do that?

[rockieroad]

The Blue letter bible doesn't have Gill in the commentaries, that's why it is my second best.

[TomiAnneTimm]

For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.

2:25 I assure you that it is VERY interesting, and I’m enjoying seeing your Bible and how you’re using God’s Word. 😊

Hi. I too like using the BLB. I am a retired teacher. I would lie to get present and future teachers together for mutual support and guidance. I would be interested in anything you could put together. I lead a couple of studies and serve the church in various ways so my time seems to vanish like a vapour. Thanks for whatever God directs you to do. In Christ. Glen

It seems to look and behave totally different on the phone app. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

[campparsonssundayschool]

I still can’t get BLB to find an exact phrase using Booleans. For example, if I type in: walk AND in AND the AND light, it returns 12 verses besides 1 John 1:7 which is the only verse with that exact phrase. The other 11 verses have those 4 words but not in the exact sequential order : walk in the light.

I love the blue letter Bible too. I just wish they would use a different Greek text than the Textus Receptus.

The Blue Letter bible website is the most confusing how to operate site I ever came across. I don't use it simply because it is not user friendly.
