Welcome to WordLive
WordLive is for people who want to meet with God in fresh ways and to engage with the Bible. WordLive is created and maintained by Scripture Union. At the heart of what we do is to try to present the Bible in inspiring and accessible ways.
Everyone is welcome here. We are an accepting and tolerant community. Different opinions contribute to the strength of our faith and the depth of WordLive. We enjoy thinking outside the box, exploring innovative ways of meeting God. We respect each other, we encourage and thrive on interaction and dialogue. Above all, we try to model Jesus Christ in our behaviour and attitudes as we believe he provides the best example of how to live.
Our vision is to see lives transformed and deepened by interactive engagement with the Bible; to be a place where everyone can explore issues of life and Christian faith.
Our mission is to reach out to all society with God’s love through free online and multi-media access to the Bible.
Here are some of the words that mean a lot to us and form part of our values:

Why 'WordLive'
We are sometimes asked why we have used the name 'WordLive'. We chose this name, because while WordLive is more than just words we have a big passion about the importance of words - particularly those of the Bible!
The opening pages of the Bible tell us that everything created was brought into being by words. In the gospel of John, John talks about Jesus being 'The Word made flesh' and talks of Jesus being the first and last letter of the alphabet.
The author and theologian, Eugene Peterson, talks of the art, the discipline of spiritual reading. He talks of reading that 'enters our souls as food enters our stomachs, spreads through our blood and becomes holiness and love and wisdom.' We pray that this will be your experience as you delve into the experience that is WordLive.
