Twitter Bible
I’m working on an article about the various online Bible study tools, but I’m not ready to post it yet. However, I recently discovered Twitter Bible, and I think it’s something everyone needs to see.
The Twitter URL is http://twitter.com/WWGT (What would God tweet). The writer’s moniker is Holy Ghostwriter, and the location is listed as “heaven.” The Twitter page shows a link to an article on a Web site named Not the LA Times. Huh? And, God Himself is supposed to be the writer.
The writer attempts to craft Bible verses in the latest modern language while keeping it under the 140-character per-tweet limit. Spiced with humor, the writing is very creative. On the Twitter venue, the writer is sure to reach some people who don’t know or have lost interest in the Bible.
Check out this example of the Twitter “translation.”
“Jesus foresees Twitter, shortens 10 Commandments to under 140 characters: Love God 110%, love neighbor like self. (Mark 12.30-31)”
OK, so I should have called it a paraphrase instead of a translation. I’m going to follow WWGT for a while and see where it goes. Check back next week for my article on the online Bible study tools.

Have you seen my Twitter devotional? I’ve written over 500 devotionals, and I find it a challenge to write one in 100 characters (I’m excluding the chapter, verse, and URL pointing to the verse itself.) Visit me at http://twitter.com/ThruTheBible and you’ll see a nearly verse-by-verse exposition of Matthew’s gospel. They are not verse paraphrases, but personal responses a disciple of Christ may have to the text.

Thanks for telling me about your Twitter devotionals. I am going to post on Twitter and Facebook about it. Definitely a challenge to get your message in 100 characters.
