Devout for Baptists

Scripture, the believers' church, and a faith freely confessed.

Baptists have generally been wary of anything that comes between a believer and the Bible, and a devotional app is exactly the sort of thing that should have to justify itself on those terms.

Scripture first, and most

The passage is the point. The reflection serves it rather than replacing it, and Devout gives you the whole Bible behind the day's reading — twelve English translations with their histories, five free to read end to end, and reading plans laid out in full if you would rather work through a book or the whole of Scripture in order.

Where the reflection makes a claim the text does not, it should not be there, and we would rather hear about it than not.

Spurgeon at your elbow

Selected meditations from Morning and Evening are in the Library, free to read, and Spurgeon appears beside the daily reading for Baptist readers. Bunyan is here, and Andrew Fuller — whose argument that the gospel is worthy of all acceptation cleared the ground for the modern missionary movement, and who held the rope for Carey for twenty-three years.

What the morning looks like

One page: a passage of Scripture, a reflection, a voice from the Christian past, and a question waiting in a private journal. Nobody else can see what you write, there is no sharing feature to leave on by mistake, and it exports whenever you like.

Nothing counts. No streak, no badge, no notification about a run at risk — a private walk answers to God, not to a schedule.

What it does not do

It is not a church, and it does not pretend that a phone can do what a congregation does. It is the daily reading, kept.
