Chris,

Awesome update. Bible.org just keeps getting better.

As a missions pastor, I find the intersect you talk about fascinating. The Internet and other technology is revolutionizing missions. Yet as I study the majority world, it is clear that "live bodies" -- real people -- are still crucial in the equation. The challenge is to not lose sight of the intersect.

I think of the glory days of shortwave radio. It played a significant role in bringing the Bible and biblical teaching to places all over the world. Yet it did not replace the need for actual missionaries. Of course, the Internet allows actual interaction via blogs, email, etc., so I do see it as having an even greater impact. But for a large portion of the world that can't even read much less have access to a computer, my hope is that technology helps rather than hinders mobilizing new missionaries to go to the ends of the earth.
