Simply put, I’m a diehard PC guy. I use a Dell Vostro 1700 Laptop running Vista. I’ve had no problems with Vista and love the machine. The two things I love most about it, (besides reliability) are the 17″ screen and the integrated keypad on the full sized keyboard. I crunch a lot of numbers and run a lot of applications at one time. I need a business class workhorse and I found one!
Logos Bible Software
This is the core of my study library. I use Logos every day! Click here for a demo of the best Bible study sofware on the planet. With more than 700 titles worth over $11,000.00 in equivalent print editions, this is a Bible lover’s dream come true! The beauty of Logos is that I can search the whole library in seconds on almost any level I want, from Bible verses, Greek or Hebrew words, to phrases, thoughts and subjects.
Additionally, like printed books, I can use highlighters and pens as well as take notes……and unlike my printed book library, all the open books and Bibles syncronize as I move from book to book.
What I love most is that thousands of books are available to purchase separately……from Spurgon to N.T. Wright!
Click on the box to see all the great features and books included in the Scholar’s Library Silver edition. There are nine collections to choose from based on your Bible study needs. Click here to see a comparison chart of the books included in the nine collections of Logos 4.
Oh yeah, the good news is that it is also available for the Mac AND……….the coolest iPhone app that will allow access on your iPhone to many of the books already in your collection!
The Apple iPhone
This little guy is a Pastor’s best friend! Organization and communication are so important to keep sane in this busy world. This little baby syncs my contacts, email, calendar and more with my laptop so that I am always in the zone and on top of my busy schedule.
Below are some of my favorite Apps:
Logos Bible Software
Access to over 30 Bibles and with registration, access to another 30+ titles, including Bible dictionaries, devotionals, topical Bibles, original Greek New Testament’s, systematic theology, commentary and many other books.
Bible-LifeChurch.tv
Access to many different versions of the Bible and a Bible reading plan. But most of all….there is a “Live” feature that we use at LifePoint to post our interactive sermon notes each week.
Facebook
The great thing about the social networking site Facebook is that the only people who can see your activity is friends that you allow in. A large population of our church family is on FaceBook. We share encouragment, prayers, and life together. It’s a great way to stay connected throughout the week. We also use Facebook to post event invites, videos of baptisms, pictures of LifePoint events and more. On a personal note, I stay connected with friends and family in other states and have found friends from over twenty years past that I worked with and went to school with.
Ther are many more that I use daily: The iPhone Calendar, email, camera, video and GPS apps, Franklin Covey’s “Goals” app as well as their “Task” app. The list just goes on and on!
