A Case for Bible Tabs | don’t feel ashamed for using tabs!! + how to apply tabs better

[@Pursuit_Of_A_Homestead]

Oh my goodness! Putting the tabs at the top is so smart 🤯 especially putting your Bible in your bag and have things rubbing up against the tabs and tearing the pages or bending the tabs. I’m definitely tabbing the top of my new journaling Bible 🤩 thank you for the idea 🤗

[@rebeccaly]

Ahh I’m so glad you liked this tip! Please let me know how it goes if you ever try tabbing the top! 😇 I always get a bit anxious (for lack of better word) when transporting my side-tabbed Bibles for this very reason! The top makes me feel better..small change but game-changer for me! I hope you enjoy and dig into your new Bible! God bless you 🤗💖🫶🏼

[@Yesica1993]

RIGHT? 35+ years a Christian and never once did it occur to me to have them on top!

[@donnajeanh]

Me too 😊

[@MichelleBennett-hh8bs]

As someone who recently started really diving into my relationship with God I have found myself watching all of your videos so keep them coming!!!

[@rebeccaly]

This comment makes me tear up a bit. Thank you so much Michelle for being here! I’m soo proud of you for prioritizing God in your life. May the Lord bless you in your pursuit of Him and may He reveal Himself to you in new ways 🥹💗🙏

[@Mariefb1980]

I love the idea of tabs on the top! I wish I had thought of it sooner. I agree with you that it’s actually harder to flip through my Bible looking for a certain book/verse.

[@rebeccaly]

Hi Marie!! Thanks so much for watching and being here! I’m glad I’m not the only one who struggles with this. I hope you like this little tip if you ever try it out! Blessings 🤗💖

I am an adult that is new to my walk and felt shame for wanting tabs. I’ve looked the subject up a dozen times and still felt conflicted. This video popped up for me recently and I just wanted to tell you that my relationship with God has become so much deeper since finding your channel. I knew that God loved me but hearing the way you say it here and there in your videos really made it click for me. I can feel it now in a way that I didn’t before. The way I study the Bible has also become so much more effective. I just want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for posting these videos. What you do makes a difference and has had a bigger impact on my life than I could have imagined.

[@rebeccaly]

Hi Ashley, you're going to make me cry!!! 🥺🩷 I am so humbled and honored that my videos have been helpful for your walk. That truly means the world to me. I pray you will no longer feel shame for wanting/using tabs and that you will enjoy your quiet time with God, and that He will reveal new revelations and understandings to you. God bless you abundantly in your pursuit of Him. He cares for you! Love and blessings. Rebecca🩷🩷

[@sharynmccormick8172]

I just got through tabbing my bible yesterday and wow, what a job, but I couldn't stand it any longer and I absolutely love it! So I decided to take a break today and as a result I discovered your channel and have been binge-watching and I am hooked! You have such a lovely voice and demeanor. And while I am considerably older, I am learning some new things. Blessings to you and the continued success of your channel!

[@rebeccaly]

Awww Sharyn, thank you so much for your sweet words and for being here. Your comment totally made my day!! I'm so thankful you are here. I hope you are enjoying your Bible. May God bless you abundantly in your pursuit of Him!! ❤❤❤ Love you!

[@texasmom8827]

With all. the warnings about not putting tabs on your Bible owed to the concerns you voiced, I kept wondering if putting them on top would work, but then I second-guessed myself thinking surely someone would have already done so if it did,. And then... I found your channel. Thanks a ton for this and for the rec on the tabs. Following!

[@danat3961]

You are the only person I’ve ever seen put tabs on top of Bible and I really like it!!! I notice when putting them on side of pages, like most do, it’s best to get the ones that are laminated and matte coated, otherwise they get smashed. Also I don’t buy ones with foil letters anymore because the letters eventually rub off and you are left with blank tabs or just with a couple letters left on it 😅 I really enjoy your videos keep putting them out!

[@rebeccaly]

Thank you so much Dana for being here! Im really glad you like the idea. I think quality of tabs is definitely a factor to consider. All the things you mentioned are so trueee. Your encouragement means a lot to me! I’m definitely trying to be more consistent with posting videos and hopefully it’ll last! I’ve been having so much fun making content and it means the world to me that you like them. I pray you have a blessed week 🥺💖🙌

[@purposeposion]

I noticed your tabs on the top of your Bible in the last videos, I've never seen anyone else do that, but it does make such good sense! Unfortunately my side tabs have ripped some my pages. Next time I will give this a try! I don't think there should be any shame in Bible tabs, it is a big Book with thin pages, it's definitely more efficient to have them. ☺ God bless you!

[@rebeccaly]

Aww Michele, I’m sorry to hear about your ripped pages! It’s definitely a con for side tabs for me too. And I agree.. there should definitely be no shame in using Bible tabs!! I hope anyone that’s been struggling with that religious spirit will feel free to use tools to help them with their faith journey. It’s a small thing but it’s been a game-changer for me! Please keep me updated if you ever try the tabs on top and how you like it! 😇 May God bless you too friend. Thanks again for being here. Grateful. 🥹💖

The blue looks perfect! I like the idea of tabbing on top. I'm debating on adding tabs to my new bible, if I do I think adding on top will be what I do too, so long as it fits in the case I have.

Thanks so much! I think the blue ended up really fitting this Bible because the interior has other shades of blue as the main colors too. I’m really happy I went with these! I think it’s wise to consider if your Bible will fit in your case if you add the tabs. But if you try tabs on top, please let me know how you like it! 🥹🫶🏼 God bless you!! 💖

I just got a leather wrap bible and decided to put the tabs on the top and it looks nice! Thanks for the idea 😀. I was hesitant at first but then I was like nah, just do it.

I didn't know tabs were controversial. ;) I've never personally used them, but I know they are helpful. My problem has always been that they do seem to tear the pages after a while. Having them on top makes so much sense! HOW did that never occur to me?

[@rebeccaly]

I think using tabs was/is controversial amongst really religious people (sorry) who look down on others for not memorizing the books as well as they do. But generally I don't think most people are against them. I find them super helpful during sermons and following along with the speaker!! I always disliked that problem so I decided to tab them on top and I've never looked back! :)

I usually buy and use tabs in my Bibles. The Bible I ordered today has thumb tabs built in. I wanted to give that a fair try as well.
