From the Webmaster

12/18/2024 I am converting all of the zipped mySword modules on this site to straight *.bok.mybible formats. If you visit us from a cell phone, you do not have to unzip these files. I am also changing the format somewhat. I am getting away from individual descriptions, and just making library lists where you can directly download the files.
If you come across a post that doesn't have a download link, please post a note to me in the comments of that post (no download), and I will try to get the file uploaded and linked to that post. We have had glitches in the past, and some posts lost their downloads. Basically, I am taking down all posts (650 posts on the site), and checking each one to see if they have their download, and if not adding it. Most do not. Once I take it down, it will repost (1 per day) until I am caught up and can work on new posts. Note that MySword reads theWord modules and esword modules now, so use them if you have them. Check these sites twmodules.com and eswordlibrary.com
If you can use these mysword modules in your Christian life and ministry, I need a big favor from you. I need you to pray for me. I sustain this website alone, out of my own living expense money. The Google Adsense ads have been adding to my income at the rate of 5 US cents per day for Google Adsense Ads as a daily total on 32 of my sites, all of them combined earn me a nickel per day except on bad days when it is less. I have been hacked continually, and these sites breakdown or are hacked, so I need your prayers. Please pray that God would protect this labor of love. If you cannot donate, please pray for me at least.

Cox, D.R. – How to Install MySword Modules

How to Install MySword Modules is a brief instructional post on how to install the MySword modules into your android device.





INTRODUCTION

The MySword program is a program specifically created for the Android phone, and devices. I do not have an android phone, but a small Android tablet.

As such, I am creating these modules from e-Sword and theWord modules, converting them into MySword modules.


Knapp The Ethics of Eternal Punishment is a single chapter work on the everlasting or eternity of hell. Christopher Knapp is a brethren author.
PDF: Knapp The Ethics of Eternal Punishment
theWord: Knapp The Ethics of Eternal Punishment
MySword: Knapp The Ethics of Eternal Punishment
eSword: Knapp The Ethics of Eternal Punishment

NOTE: It is important to understand that I am using website software (WordPress) and this software is automatically adding an underscore to the filename, so before the module would work in your android device, you need to remove the underscore. I am also compressing the modules with PKZIP so that it will hopefully be quicker to download these modules to your phone.

Example…

allenm-library-of-mat-allen.bok_.mybible

should be renamed to

allenm-library-of-mat-allen.bok.mybible

Now since I am compressing these modules to a ZIP file, this isn’t an issue, but some of the first modules I posted may have this issue.

STEPS TO INSTALL A MYSWORD MODULE

Using a regular PC…

Download the module to you PC, unzip it, then upload it (via a memory device) or transfer program to your Android phone. You will need to look around with your Android phone to see where MySword is keeping its files, and upload the file (uncompressed) to that folder.

Using your Android phone…

Download the file directly from the Internet and an Internet browser to your phone. Again you will have to uncompress the file, and move it to your MySword files folder.

ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE

I cannot be more precious in how to install these modules because different devices are going to store things in different places. Basically MySword will need storage space, which for the main program is about 1MB, and then the modules can go up into the megabytes.

Please consult the http://mysword.info website for more help.

with version 3.0, the modules are placed in one of the following folders (still inside the selected modules path, default to /sdcard/mysword or /mnt/sdcard/mysword): cloud storage

If you phone has a SD memory card, you can use this to store your modules, and there is an option to backup your modules and personal editable files to cloud storage (See cloud storage).


pc10 Sexual Purity
is an exhortation to purity in sexual matters for the Christian. We look at various aspects of the issue.
Topics: It is not an impossible fight! | The Biblical Model | Homosexuality and Prostitution | Nudity and the Mind | Self-Stimulation | Resisting the Temptation.
Excerpts: Job 31:1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid? Job understood that sexual sin begins with the sight, and the seeing before desiring. Job made a covenant with himself, a commitment that he would not look on young women to desire them or to let his imagination run wild with them even their image or in his thoughts. Equally, Jesus taught us in Mat. 5:28 that even thinking sinful thoughts without doing them is as sinful as actually doing them. This is an amplification of Exo 20:17 “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife”. David saw before taking (2Sam 11:2).
Fasting is to teach us that the body does not control over us, and this is exactly what is necessary for people with this problem. This sin is pinned to the thoughts, “for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he” Pro 23:7. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” Phil 4:13.

Missionary on Furlough Spiritual Needs
is an article by David Cox (veteran missionary) to help pastors and missionaries understand missionary needs.
Excerpt: When a pastor "takes in a missionary on deputation or furlough", he ministers to that missionary.... Pastors also need this encouragement as much as missionaries need it. When they get together to fellowship, they are able to encourage one another. But every pastor ministering to a returning missionary should encourage them along these lines of faithfulness and reward in eternity.
Topics: Introduction | Unfit Missionaries that should not be missionaries at all | Stop the Merry-go-round, I want to get off | Some Tips for Pastors Encouraging Missionaries | 1. Do not undermine their way of leading or doing the ministry | 2. The two essential elements are talk and prayer. | 3. Get more than just the pastor involved in praying for the missionary. | Remind your missionary by asking for an update if it has been a while. | Effectively disseminate prayer requests.
