I've been blogging since 2003, and in that time, I've only completely deleted one post before today.

And yet, I believe that what started out as some friendly competition was getting out of hand on multiple levels, including the level on which I was participating.

While I believe some (but not necessarily all) reaction to my words was due to miscommunication, I must nevertheless take ownership and responsibility for what I write and say.

More seriously, arguing over Bible software seems in the end to be something that brings no glory to God, the one who has given this revelation to us to begin with. Add to that the fact that this discussion is public and a horrible witness to the culture outside of the body of Christ.

So, I have deleted the post, including the comments, and I want to offer a sincere apology to any who were offended.

I am hopeful that we can build better bridges to the future and find opportunities to be as one instead of divided.
