How does Proverbs 31:10 read in the King James Version? OK, what about in the Young’s Literal Translation? How does it read in Albanian? Where can you find the word “creator” in the NIV? For those of us who do not have an extensive library of Bible texts, we can have one on our desks in the form of Gospelcom.net’s Bible Gateway service. You can look up specific scripture references or search for a specific word in seventeen different translations. And, if you prefer, you can read the results in one of thirty languages, including Maori, Croatian, Haitian, Norsk, and Latin. And you can hear scripture read in English, Spanish, Farsi, Slovak, and Platdietsch. But wait, there’s more! There is online access to a number of the IVP New Testament Commentaries, Bible Studies, Devotionals, daily emails, and Bible reading plans, tools for your PDA or handheld, and links to other valuable study resources. There are two free mailing lists available: one is for occasional notice of happenings at Bible Gateway, and one geared towar webmasters who are using Bible Gateway resources on their websites. This is a very useful site, easy use, read, and even fun to use. You can contact Bible Gateway via their Contact page form.

Decision magazine is the main publication of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA). Well-known, popular, and an effective vehicle for bringing the message of Christ and Christian living, Decision is now available in an on-line edition. Published since 1960, Decision on-line began in January, 1999 (articles from all issues are available in the Decision Library section). Of course, the heart of Decision are the articles. I can tell you that among Christian writers, getting an article in Decision is a feather in your cap. In the current issue, there is an appropriately-timed article in a continuing series on the Ten Commandments, “How Do We Honor Our Parents?”, two excellent articles on living a distinctly Christian life, another in a series on “Why Should We Believe in Jesus?”, a piece for parents by Ruth Bell Graham, and a behind-the-scenes look at the new BGEA film, “Something to Sing About”, and more. Be sure to read Billy Graham’s monthly message, too. In addition, Billy has a good evangelistic article, “The Only Way’. Want to submit an article to Decision? The guidelines are here (follow them!). And you can also subscribe to the hard copy version from the web site. Of course, there are links to the BGEA as well as Alive! magazine and spiritual helps. Everything on the site is of the highest quality–articles, layout, graphics, and navigation. This is the quality all Christian sites should strive for. Check back every month to see what’s in one of the best in Christian magazines. You can reach Decision at decision@bgea.org.
