By now you should be aware of the links in the lower left column, which take you straight to today's reading. But Bible Gateway is good for more than just reading.Janelle asked about Noah, and wondered if her recollection of his neighbors scoffing at him might be in another scriptural reference. This is a great example to help us access more of Bible Gateway's great features.
Follow the link to today's reading. In the upper left column is a link for Keyword Search. Type in Noah, and Bible Gateway will list 56 references from Genesis to 2 Peter that include the name Noah. Not all of these are Noah of the ark fame. Thirty-eight are from Genesis 5-10 dealing with the ark and a listing of Noah's descendants.
If you're thinking of a verse, and you can't remember where it's found, but you're pretty sure it has the word pineapple in it. Go to the Keyword Search, type in the word pineapple, and it comes back No results. Okay we need to try something else. Could it be apple instead? Type in apple and this time it will come back with 10 verses.
I've spent lots of money on concordances in the past, ones in print and ones for the computer. And here Bible Gateway gives us one for free. I hope you stick with us, but Bible Gateway also has its own through the Bible reading plan. If that's not good enough for you, check out YouVersion.com/.
