Steve, you wont be able to use it because if BibleGateway server goes down, all your posts will take too much time to load and hence the pages containing your posts might load slower. (The pages may not load until the code gets Biblegateway to generate the required html)
I had this problem before.
Thats why I shifted the 'verse of the day' on forum home page from right to left, so our forum load first and then the verses.
