I would love to see this widget have the ability to hyperlink the scripture reading to one of the Bible sites so that you could read the selection for the day. Do you know what I mean?

Sure. That makes sense. What website do you like the best?

http://www.esv.org/ or http://www.biblegateway.com/ would be fine.
Thanks!

Hi Damon. It looks like its doing that for several of your widgets (like the "Configure your Sidebars" widget). It must be a theme related issue. Not sure.

Hi,
How can we use this plugin to get the text from our malayalam bible text.So that others can use it in their sites.
Thanks

@Doulos: I’ve never heard of it. Where is it online? Is it on BibleGateway? That’s where the other versions link to.

It would be awesome if it could show the scripture verse text in addition to the passage.

I was curious…I use the bible reading plan that is listed for the Life Journal (http://www.lifejournal.cc/) and I was wondering if there is a way to customize for this particular reading plan?

Is there a way to make the Bible reading go straight through the Bible from beginning to end rather than jumping back and forth between old and new testament passges?

Say, has this been ported to the LifeJournal.cc reading plan?
If I wanted to help out with that where would I start?
I’d love to be able to list the daily reading plan with active links to the specific passage on BibleGateway…
Pointers? I can do some of the work on the plugin with a little direction

Thanks so much for building this plugin. I was able to create a variation based on a different reading program for our church’s site that I’m rebuilding now.
Quick question — how I can fix it so it posts the verse according to the user’s date/time? For example, at about 6:00 p.m. last night I noticed that it was showing today’s verse, even though it wasn’t yet today. After scratching my head over that, I realized it is pulling its date/time information from the official UTC time. So last night at 6:00 (central) was already midnight today in UTC. Make sense? can you help?
