Description:

Welcome to the renovated version of Preceptaustin.org (switched to Drupal, Summer, 2017), which isnow phone friendly anddatabase drivenallowingus to easilymanage content by Bible book and/or topic. Once you get over the shock of the new look, hopefully it will beeasier to find all of the resources on aBible passage or topic of interest (and new resources will be added almost every day). You will also find new search boxes on the right side of most pages, which includevarious resources such as Wikipedia which has a surprisingly large number of topics related to Christianity, albeit it is best used with ahealthy "Acts 17:11+ mindset." And don't overlookthe useful English dictionary search box, which isasuperb collection of workswhich willenable you to hone your prose and preaching with polish and precision. Baker's Evangelical Dictionary ofTheology is also an excellentresource to help solve theological conundrums(review).(1) Pseudo App for quick access to preceptaustin resources. Click here to for instructions on how to make an icon for your iphone to allow quick access to the site and to the major resource subdivisions.(2) Select Preferred Translation - On the right side of each page you can select the Bible version you prefer to display the Scripture popups and that version will be applied to pop ups on every page on the website.(3) Select Language - On the right side of each page is the Google translation drop down which allows you to choose from 104 languages currently available. Be aware that Google translate is not geared to theological words, phrases and concepts, so the translation may not be entirely accurate. If you encounter any translations that are overtly erroneous please send me an email. Note that if you select a language on one page, you will see that language on every page of the website. One other feature to note is that if you hold your pointer over a translated section, you will see the original English translation in the popup.(4)December 1, 2018 - Links on all 66 books are being updated (this will take a while). If you see a "plus sign" next to a Scripture reference, note that thisis a link to the commentary on that specific passage. For example, if you click on the "+" next toLuke 1:1+you will go to the commentary on that verse. The "plus sign" has replaced the "-note" designation (which will still be present and function normally on pages that have not been revised).HOW TO FIND THE OLD COLLECTIONSOFSERMONS AND COMMENTARIES(1) On the old site one could access the Collections from a drop down menu at the top of the page which allowed one to select the book of interest. This old drop down menu is now on the right side of the page and is designated "Collections of Commentaries Sermons" below which is the button labeled"Choose Book of the Bible to Study." Click this tab and you will see a list of hundreds of sermons and commentaries on each book of the Bible. In the old site some of these resources were on a second page, but we are in the process of moving them to onepage to facilitate easier access.(2) Another way to get to the "Collections of Commentaries Sermons" is byclickingthe Commentariesbutton (Between "Home" and "Topics") and itwill take you to a list of all 66 books. Click on a book of the Bible (e.g., Philippians) and under "Collections" select "PhilippiansCommentaries"to retrieve a compilation of numerous sermons and commentaries on that book of the Bible. The advantage of this method of navigationis that you will also see a list ofDevotionals and Miscellaneous articles that relate to that book of the Bible.(3) References or Resources associated with Verse Commentaries -On the old site, verse commentaries usually had a Reference Table above the commentary notes which provided links to sermons, commentaries or illustrations related to the verse(See picture of old reference table). The old Reference Table has been replaced by Resources by Chapterwhich isfound at the top of the page (also on right side of page) of each commentary.For example, select Philippians 1:1 Commentary and notice at the top of the page is a link toPhilippians 1 Resources which presents multiple related resources identical to those found on the old reference table.There is no listing of Resources by Chapter if aVerse by Verse commentary has not been written.(4)The Devotionalsnow update automatically each day.WHY FIX WHAT WASNOT BROKEN?Why did we renovatePreceptaustin.org which did not ostensibly seem to be "broken"? Primarily becausethe HTML coding had become "bloated" and obsolete and it seemed increasinglylikelythat the web hosting company we were using would soon no longer support Frontpage,our web authoring system, a "technological dinosaur" thatwas discontinued by Microsoft over 13 years ago! Indeed, given the atrocious HTML source code Frontpage created, it is clearwe have been running on God's amazing gracefor quite some time! The final straw was when Microsoft withdrewsupport for Windows XP which is the system needed to run Frontpage.Clearly whenever one converts more than 2000 web pages to anew format there maybe a few "hiccups,"so bear with us as we put the finishing touches on the site. And we implore you to please use theContact Usform to let us know if you have problems, and be sure to include the URL of the problem page.We will respond to all comments and/orcomplaints.
