podbible
This looks great; Bible podcast. It starts last weekend in October, with a marathon effort to try and podcast the entire Bible.
This means you can download the “oral” Bible onto your iPod for your walk, gym, ride on the bus. So I listened to Mark 1. My only critical comment is that the podcast I heard had no clear break between the Scripture reading and the three devotional application questions. Or perhaps this is a claim for divinely authoritative devotionals!
An unexpected joyful moment was that straight after the podbible reading, it suddenly randomed into U2’s “Miracle drug.” “What an awesome podcast” I thought, only to realise it was on my computer! But the lyrics were SO appropriate.
“I want a trip inside your head
Spend a day there
To hear the things you haven’t said
And see what you might see
I want to hear you when you call”
(Oh, the joy of song devotionals rather than word devotionals).

How strange, one of our early collaborators was talking of how goo it would be if we could use that song in some way… But no one knew U2, so we didn’t… Copyright and all…

Is’nt it great that we can relate the words of mainstream songs to God. I had quite a debate with a non-christian friend last year about the Ben Lomus song (on NZIdol) being a Christian song. He is a Christian. We agreed to respect each others opinions in the end.
