Word in the World is geared toward finding Scripture to assist in our personal daily walks and to answer the questions of the inquisitive, as opposed to locating the place in the Bible where particular events, parables, people, etc. occur, or bringing up Scripture in response entering a verse reference, like 'John 3:16'. The intent is that you can just type in what's going on in your life or how you feel in whatever words come to mind. If you want Scripture to guide and strengthen you in a certain situation, type in the situation and say what you need. Something's bothering or troubling you, type it in. Or if you want to know what God has to say about various issues, and how He deals with them, describe the issue and ask questions.


Enter whatever you like in the box, click GO or press the ENTER key, and pertinent Scripture will appear. You can enter whole sentences, phrases, or just a list of words. Using the guidelines below will yield optimal results.


Tapping the CLR button will clear whatever text is in the box. Also, when the program is exited by pressing the X in the upper-right hand corner, the next time the program is run the text box will initially be empty. When the Start Menu is pressed in order to access another function such tasks or calendar, the next time Word in the World is run any text that was previously in the text box will be preserved.


Click Index for a list of links to Scriptures by subject. When a match to your text input is found and Scripture is displayed, at the bottom of the page is an Index link. Clicking it will take you to the place in the index where the subject of the Scripture you were just looking at is found. In this way you can browse related subjects by simply looking above and below your subject.

 


General Guidelines


Spell words correctly.


Stay away from entering double negatives.


None of the words entered need appear in the Scriptures.


Have the object of prepositions, adjectives, and adverbs occur within the next 3 words.


Have the object of negation words (no, not, don't, shouldn't, etc.) occur within the next 2 words.


The more general the text input, the fewer words used, the more general the Scripture. The more specific the text input, the more words used, the more specific the Scripture.


Sometimes Word in the World may see more than one subject in your text entry and only show Scripture on one of them. For example, if you enter something like 'the death and resurrection of Jesus' you may see Scripture just on the meaning and purpose of Jesus' death, or, just on the meaning of His resurrection for us. If this happens, say you see Scripture about His resurrection, then make another entry 'death of Jesus', and see the Word on that.
