Fourteenfloor.com, you guys are doing great job in spreading the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. It saddens me to know that you are being prevented from converting Our Daily Bread devotional to a phone compatible software without charging us. If RBC is there to spread the Good news I pray the should grant you the permission to continue the good work.
Your devotional applications have really been a blessing to many.
I would daily be checking on the site to get the application for December if it released.
I would be sending an e-mail to the RBC guy to plead your course. God richly bless you all
i don’t understand u guys do u want 2 bless people or it’s just all about d Benjamin/dough/money.
It’s sad to hear that this great and inspiring application will cease to circulate on mobile phones.
Hi, I’m really upset at the people there at RBC. I thought they practiced what they preach. They should have commended you for your initiative and sacrifice which have benefitted a lot of souls.Anyway, I also wrote them a letter for legalistic approach which is very un Christ like. Remember, he who works for the Lord is by the Lord. I just don’t get it with them and their legalistic emphasis.
I pray that God wold change the minds of the people at RBC so that the will give you the permission to carry on with this wonderful application. God bless you!
I am so sad to see this come to an end. Having ODB on my mobile was a benefit for those times when I couldn’t read the magazine. I think its awful that rights couldn’t have been extended for the service that you are offering to many.
I feel that RBC needs to move into the tech world and even congratulate you on the efforts that you took to increase their readership and provide an additional way to people to get spritiual guidance!!!
Since Eric was so nice to leave his number in the comment field, I suggest that we all call him and suggest that he grant MDD the rights to offer ODB as a mobile download. It’s not like anyone is paying for it so no criminal activity is really taking place. MDD just did what RBC should have done… just sooner!!
Thank you for all of your hard work on past issues. Being in the mobile industry having ODB at my mobile fingertips was a blessing.

That is a major letdown. Ourdailybread had became part of my everyday life: wake up, turn off the phone alarm, read ODB, get out of bed. It helped me discover more Our Savior and learn to understand his teachings in everyday life. Mobile website access can’t cut it for me, i don’t have any sort of connectivity on my mobile. Praying so that RBC grants you permission to continue distributing the daily devotionals.
I’m sad to hear that ODB mobile edition is no longer available for download. It helped me a lot. I read it daily on my mobile phone. I used to have ODB in book edition, but I could hardly keep up with it on a daily basis. With mobile edition, since I have my mobile phone with me wherever I go, I could just launch the application and read it. Thank you so much. You’re such a blessing to us… I’m positive that God will make a way…
Es una verdadera pena que ya no cuenten con la autorización de rbc, estos devocionales han sido pasados de teléfono a teléfono de muchos amigos miembros de difernentes iglesias, lideres y pastores.
Espero que Dios toque sus corazones y cambien de opinión.
Spanish to English translation using Google Translate:
It is a pity that no longer have the authorization rbc, these devotionals have been passed from phone to phone friends of many members of different churches, pastors and leaders.
I hope God to touch their hearts and change their minds.
Hi I’am Dea…. From Indonesia
At frist I know ODB only in the magazine. I had accept the ODB since two years ago. It’s was so distrubed me, coz I must brought the magazine every where. But two month ago my theacher told me that I didn’t need bring the magazine again. I was very happy that I don’t need bring every where that book, and that just a simple thing. What I need just open my cellphone and open the ODB mobile. Beside the ODB had the verses that we must read in that day.
Even I only 14 years old, and I was in junior high school. My friends and me really need the ODB mobile, coz we always have home work to do, that was… write your daily devitional every day!!!! So I told all my class mate to download ODB mobile. That helped the very much!!!
Until then It’s stop……
It was very-very-very simple ODB, that was ODB mobile.
That bless me very much
Thanks…..

I’m really sad that RBC Ministries stop the permission for this site to translate and spread them to everyone of us. I used to read devotion together with my wife, and I used the devotion from my cellphone while my wife read it from the book. My wife and I agreed that the translation from your site has better translation and much more comfortable to read. It’m really really sad and I really hope it is not the money issue that RBC stop the permission.
For Administrator of this site, I give great appreciation and thank’s. I hope in the future it can be better.
Thanks and Jesus bless us all.
Thanks for the great job that is done on this site. You have brought joy to many people at no cost thereby fulfilling the scriptures
“freely are you given and freely you must give”.
To say the least, i was totally surprised and embarrassed at the way Ed Rock of the RBC took the issue of mobile version of ODB. Why all the threats. I thought RBC should be happy that God is using their ministries to bless all of us all over the world. I believe the reason why RBC decided to be producing ODB is because of the love for evangelism…I just hope that all this threats are not because of MONEY. God will help us as christians. I think we deserve more explanations from RBC since this site is giving it away free of charge.
very helpful for a daily walk with Jesus.
SO UNHAPPY ABT DIS DEVELPENT, WE PRAY FOR A QUICK RESOLUTION OF THIS, THE GOSPEL MUST SPREAD.
Dear Friend,
You have a blessed site here, although ODB may not be available now I really appreciate your pioneering making a difference across the world.the way ODB publishers reacted is a bit of a letdown though.Thanks and God bless.
I’m sad on what happened, I hope and I pray it will be back.. God Bless..
ODB booklet has been a blessing to me many years ago up till now. I think that the main aim of ODB is for poeple everywhere by any means and through any language to hear the truth of the Gospel. If the Mobile Daily Devotion (MDD) is helping to do this through what he knows best (on mobile phones) free, I think this aim is realised somehow. But if some protocols need to be followed pls let it be done to keep this work moving on. I see ODB as Paul that planted and MDD as Apollo that watered – ICor 3:6-9. May God increase ODB to continue to plant for many to water.
This mobile edition is a real blessing and a real pity that it’s to be pulled out.
How about saving the trees & our future & let this mobile version be the future of ODB?
Pray to the Lord for this to come true..
I am very disappointed that Our Daily Bread is no longer available for reading on my mobile phone. I can buy the paperback version with 3 months of devotionals at our church for $1.00. Given that the production costs of an electronic version is even less, I would think they could sell this for half that or, GASP, actually give away content that leads people to Christ. I’ll be writing RBC separately to let them know my disappointment. If they are going to release their own version, then at least allow you to distribute the .jar files until they are up and running. What a shame.
The problem with using RBC’s mobile device optimized site at http://rbc.gospelcom.net/odb/togo/toc.html is that it requires the cell phone user to have a data plan. Many people, like myself, only have a phone plan and cannot afford to pay the additional $20/month to get a data plan that would allow us to regularly access the internet via our telephone. I have sent RBC a separate email expressing my disappointment. It would be nice if they would allow you to produce and publish .jar files until they make them available for download on their own website. Thanks for providing this and other daily devotionals for download to our phones. I have been blessed by your ministry and on several occasions have used the daily devotionals that I have read as talking points in church and other committee meetings. God bless you. – Mark
your devotional…our daily bread is about the most edifying and i used to share it out via mobile to my colleagues and i’m sure they were blessed because each month they came asking.
I wish i could continue sharing God’s word this way but hear u stopped mobile downloads
I never thought of having my bible so close to me on my phone. I have my soul food with me always and I’m grateful.
We thank God for giving you the vision to create this great site like this.
Please keep ODB available on mobile phones, because I have non-believers asking for it too.
God Bless you
I am a person who is on the move away from home atleast 200days in the year. ODB on the mobile was such a blessing. I have the KJV downloaded to my hand set. It was a blessing to have the Bible and ODB in my pocket all the time via my cell phone. I hope you will have the copyright issues resolved so that the download version would be available once again very soon. Its a real blessing!
Hi, I’ve download TGIF from your site and it’s running fine on my cellphone, thanks for the hard work.
But I always get error when installing jad/jar file from Our Daily Bread RBC Ministries official site to my cellphone, which is Sony Ericsson K770. Is there any special setting that should be changed on my cellphone?
Thanks
Great Work that you are doing. Its so inspirational I read it daily when going to work and every application suits my daily challenges and needs and I share this with colleagues at work,…. You are a blessing and Thank you for this great work.
One cool and easy way to get Our Daily Bread’s daily passage is to use their email feature. I may be wrong, but I did not come across an option that would enable a user to TXT, SMS or MMS the message to our mobiles. To get around that very easily, as ODB- again- DOES offer daily EMAILS… just:
Use your cellphone’s EMAIL ADDRESS! Every cellphone has an accompanying email address- which I never see the major carriers promote or advertise- but they have them! This allows you to receive information, just like a text, however it gets around the issue of receiving info to a non-pda. For instance, if your Verizon number is: 555-123-4567… your Verizon mobile EMAIL will be 5551234567@vtext.com …. just enter in your respective mobile carrier email address that is associated with your number at:
http://www.rbc.org/odb/email/ so then you will get ODB everyday- right to your mobile!
If you have an ATT WIRELESS mobile phone and your number is, F O R E X A M P L E: 555-123-4567 … your email address for that mobile is going to be: 5551234567@txt.att.net (for text only) and then 5551234567@sms.att.net (for short messaging service) and then 5551234567@mms.att.net (for multimedia emails). This info is all over the internet if you search (for all companies). Note I am in the United States. On the ATT Wireless site- they only listed the ‘txt’ extension… I just thought to try the ‘sms’ and ‘mms’ alternate addresses myself- and they work just fine for receiving each respective type of message! Again- check for costs- I have an UNLIMITED everything type of plan- so I have no fees for any of this- please check your plan by calling the customer service of your mobile carrier.
I have never been charged to do this with either Verizon or ATT with my plans with either. But- check to see if you will be charged and/or how the carrier treats an incoming ‘email.’ ALSO- note that you can use this email to SEND… to any email in the world! A neat way to get around sending international ‘TXT’ messages without breaking the bank. But- double check the rates- again- I don’t think they are treated different than TXTs in a billing aspect. Also- check to see what your carrier allows and/or is capable of when sending/receiving emails in terms of multimedia like pictures/video/etc. I know that my basic ATT phone receives images just fine from my hotmail email- when sent from my computer. Just play around and see what your phone and carrier is capable of doing! And again- I don’t think it is an issue- but always double check if your carrier or your plan allows this for free or charges you. I hope that I’ve helped even just one person receive the ‘Bread’ conveniently and on a consistent basis. Let’s face it, we are a cell phone nation and a cell phone world- why not use those little machines to strengthen our faith while we are at it! GOD BLESS! (I tried my best and I’m confident most of you won’t have any difficulties using your cell ‘EMAIL’ as a substitute for ‘TXT’ ‘SMS’ or ‘MMS’- again again
) DOUBLE CHECK with your carrier and experiment to see what works for you and what costs are if any.
Having problems downloading the our daily bread app for the iPhone , any suggestions ? Thanx
Hi Curtiss, Sorry, can’t help you on the daily bread app for the iPhone. I don’t have an iPhone. However, I’m working on an iPhone/Android optimized mobile web view for daily devotions over at http://www.jarss.com/show/iui/. If you have the ebook reader, Stanza, on your iPhone, you can also try out the daily devotionals in epub format over at http://www.jarss.com/.
Hi Victor,
For so many months, I have not bn able to install ODB from the official site unto my phone. (I was using this same phone the ODB from this site) I bought another phone and installed ODB on it, but was disappointed at the presentation format. So I wrote to them. Below is what I wrote. Please HELP THEM TO IMPROVE UPON THE PRESENTATION. GOD RICHLY BLESSES YOU.
Hello,
The Almighty blesses you for the good work you are doing.
The mobile version of Our daily Bread (JAVA) is not reader friendly, I think more can be done on it presentation. I was using SonEricsson phone, but ever since you started the mobile version of ODB it has NEVER get installed on my phone. I currently bought a new java enable phone, got ODB installed, and am very disappointed at the presentation format.
THE WORD OF GOD IS TO BE SPREAD, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH with Victor Goh, to help. His presentation format was just wonderful. It makes you want to back to read.
I tell others about this application, and the story is the same form them
PLEASE, PLEASE, WORK ON IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
