This page updated as of January 07, 2012

Welcome! This site is all about the free MySword android phone app. This app will allow you to search the Bible, read commentaries, dictionaries, and books on your Smartphone.

Please note, this MySword software will allow you to import modules (books) from other programs into this format, and I have purchased an Android device (not a phone) and I am checking a few of the modules on it. If you have questions or problems, please post a commentary on the page of the module which you have a problem, or on this page.

At the present I am converting modules from my principle website, www.twmodules.com. Not all of them will come over. Of course none of the premium modules will be converted, and several of the non-premium ones have formatting problems (they were converted from e-Sword to TheWord, and from e-Sword they had problems). When I get time I may try to find the text on the Internet and rebuild the module from scratch. At this point I have about 1400 modules to convert and post here, so I am not spending ANY TIME fixing what is broke until this site is up and equal with my TheWord site.

Note that if you have TheWord on your desktop, come here to get MySword for your Android.

If you have a module that is on www.twmodules.com and you especially want it in a hurry, please post me a commentary on this site, and I will try to do that module quickly.

Donations are greatly welcomed

Note that this represents a lot of work for an already overworked fellow. I am trying this website, and quite frankly, if it doesn’t get a good number hits (visitors who download the modules), I will consider abandoning it after 6 months or a year. So what can you do to help? (1) visit the website, download the modules, and use them. (2) talk it up as a great thing to your friends, especially to your pastor and missionaries, and try to get other people (especially those in the ministry) to use it also. You can also donate money to me via Paypal, and that will go a long way towards keeping me interested in this website. If one or two people donate at least $10-$20 each month, this keeps me interested, and really folks, to have a large library free, you can afford the price of 1 book for each 100 you download. Don’t be cheap!

If God moves you to send a donation…

Use the Paypal form on the sidebar, or if you are okay with sending a check via regular mail to our home church (Orlando Bible Church in Orlando Florida), then visit our donation page and send us a donation mentioning it is for the David Cox family.

The Christian Life: Its Course, Its Hindrances, and Its Helps.
by Thomas Arnold, D.D, Head Master of Rugby School, and Late Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford.

From the Fifth London Edition.
1856.

“As far as the principle on which Archbishop Laud and his followers acted went to re-actuate the idea of the church, as a co-ordinate and living power by right of Christ’s institution and express promise, I go along with them; but I soon discover that by the church they meant the clergy, the hierarchy exclusively, and then I fly off from them in a tangent.

“For it is this very interpretation of the church, that, according to my conviction, constituted the first and fundamental apostasy; and I hold it for one of the greatest mistakes of our polemical divines, in their controversies with the Romanists, that they trace all the corruptions of the gospel faith to the Papacy.”–COLERIDGE,

Literary Remains, vol. iii. p. 386.

This is a book of 30+ sermons on different aspects of the Christian life. Read the rest of this entry »
