Study the Bible… at Church

One of the easiest ways to dig deeper into God’s Word is to follow along with what is being taught at your church, either from the pulpit (if your pastor preaches/teaches through a book of the Bible in an expository fashion) or by means of an adult Sunday school class where you are part of a group that together explores a book of the Bible guided by a knowledgeable and (hopefully) gifted teacher.

As an example, at my church we are currently going through the Old Testament book of Nehemiah on Sunday mornings. What I do as part of my study time on Thursday or Friday is read through the section (usually an entire chapter) that will be taught that coming Sunday and then try to get a better big picture understanding of the text with the help of a concise commentary. (A good one-volume commentary gives me a “sneak peek” at a section of Scripture in preparation for more in-depth teaching or study.) Come Sunday morning, I already have a “Nehemiah mindset” with a foundational grasp of the text being covered, so I can listen more closely for new insight and understanding to apply to my life. To drive the teaching home, I will then spend some of my study time on Monday or Tuesday going through a more detailed commentary and/or completing a section of a study guide from my Bible software on the material covered the Sunday before. Of course, later in the week, I start this simple, but effective three-step study process over again on the next section of Scripture.

If your church, like mine, has a Small Groups Ministry, where people meet in different homes during the week to discuss the teaching of the previous Sunday, I’d encourage you to get engaged on that level, as well. It will help you both better understand and apply the vital “what it means” component of how that section of God’s Word relates to your life, where you are at physically, emotionally, relationally and spiritually today. Ideally, you should leave each gathering of your Small Group, (we call them “Life Groups” at my church), not just with a better understanding of God’s Word generally or theoretically, but an action plan of Biblical direction that you can put into practice specifically and practically. (This, after all, is the purpose of any Bible study.)

If you are serious about God, His Word and His Son, in addition to spending time studying the Bible on your own, I strongly encourage you to make it a priority to get to a solid Bible teaching church regularly for the weekly weekend teaching/worship service, as well as during the week as opportunities to learn and serve present themselves. You will be amazed at the impact it has on your spiritual growth.

[Blog Author’s Note: As a Christian with Adult ADD, I often find myself jumping into projects that I am passionate about with both feet. Okay, it’s more like doing a cannonball into the deep end of a pool. Anyway, I can also “burn out” and/or get distracted from those projects onto something else pretty easily, with the best of intentions to “be right back.” Simply put, that’s what happened in my ignoring this blog for too long, for which I apologize. That said, my passion for studying God’s Word remains strong, as does my desire to equip and encourage others to do likewise, so with a renewed commitment, especially in the area of “pacing myself,” we press on. Thanks for your understanding and grace.]

[Blog Author’s Note, Part 2: One of my recent “distractions,” which hopefully will remind people of the importance and impact of gathering together as a family of believers, is a simple one-page web site I created at OccupyChurch.org, to take advantage of the “occupy” mentality being fueled by the media, but in a more positive, spiritually-focused way. Check it out and feel free to share it, all to help build a stronger, healthier body of Christ that will impact our world in a more powerful, lasting, Godly way.]

Topic Study: Friendship (from Proverbs)

STUDY TOPIC: Building Better Friendships

KEY PASSAGE(S): Various verses from the Book of Proverbs

While most of us always welcome the opportunity to make new friends, when it comes to friendship in general, what people want (and need) most is a few close friends that they can tell anything and they know they will still be loved and accepted. Someone who will be there for them during the valley times of hardship and heartache. Someone who will laugh with them, cry with them and enjoy every bit of this journey of life on earth with them.

Sadly, too few people today actually experience “true” friendships with any depth and significance to them. They have difficulty finding those type of friends and, just as challenging, many have trouble finding the time and energy to be that type of friend to others. Add to this equation dysfunctional families where brother/sisters, parents/kids and husband/wife struggle to just be friends, compounded by the watering-down of the definition of “friend” by social network sites like Facebook, (seriously, you have 1,500 friends?), and the reason many of us are experiencing a “friend crisis” becomes more obvious, if not the solution.

Enter wise King Solomon, the author of the book of Proverbs. Look up each verse reference below in your Bible and then answer the question about giving your friendship efforts and results a significant, possibly life-changing boost:

EXAMINING YOUR FRIENDSHIPS

1) Proverbs 13:20 – What kind of friends should we choose? Why is this important?

_____________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________

Do you have “friends” that don’t meet this criteria? What will you do about it? _______

_____________________________________________________________

2) Proverbs 27:29 – How can you find/build friendships that bring “joy to your heart?”

_____________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________

3) Proverbs 17:17a – When was the last time you let a friend down? What one thing can you change to become a “better” friend, one that demonstrates love “at all times?”

_____________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________

BEING A BETTER FRIEND

4) Proverbs 15:15b – What do you need to do (i.e. changes in outlooks, attitudes, actions) to make yourself more consistently cheerful? How will that encourage others?

_____________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________

5) Proverbs 27:2 – Are you better at singing your own praises or praising the work of others? Identify a friend who deserves some recognition/affirmation this week and do it.

_____________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________

6) Proverbs 27:17 – Who do you need to build-up and challenge spiritually? How? What friend will you ask and give permission to keep your relationship with God “sharp?”

_____________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________

Challenge: Before the day is out, call (don’t email or text… call!) one friend that you want to be closer to and become a much better, truer friend in light of the Proverbs studied. Tell them briefly about what you learned and set a time to just get together to start building a stronger, healthier, more enduring friendship.

Five Things I Like About Logos

Of the five Bible software programs I own, none provides the variety of powerful built-in tools for equipping a layperson like myself (and maybe you) for serious Bible study like the one from Logos. While most of their nine library packages seem primarily geared for pastors or pastors-to-be (Bible college or seminary students) and many of their add-on resources are of a “scholarly” nature, the meat-and-potatoes functionality of their core software will allow anyone to easily dig into the Bible with greater understanding, even from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, than they ever thought possible.

That said, from a layperson’s perspective of looking for easier ways to experience and explore God’s Word, here are five things that I really like about

1) THE PASSAGE GUIDE

Logos’ Passage Guide is probably the feature I both use and appreciate the most. In a nutshell, you simply type in a Bible reference (i.e. “Mark 5:1-20”) and the Passage Guide will search your library and display a well-organized report of resources related to your Bible passage in study-relevant categories, including:

• Commentaries
• Cross References
• Parallel Passages
• Biblical People
• Biblical Places
• Biblical Things
• Topics
• Interesting Words
• …and more

Simply review the resources it found, jump directly to a specific one with just a click of the mouse and your studying has begun. It truly is like having your own research assistant. (Watch their video on the Passage Guide.)

2) SPECIALTY RESOURCES

While every Bible software company has a collection of resources that are either part of a base package or that can be added to your library later, Logos has one of the largest, if not the largest at over 12,000 resources, (per their About Us page). While a vast majority of the resources were originally published in hard copy before being converted into an ebook format and tagged with code for the software’s built-in research/study tools, a handful of very unique resources have also been created from scratch by members of the Logos team. The one that has impacted my Bible study experience the most is the Lexham High Definition New Testament. Suffice it to say that this study tool, based on the ESV translation, let’s me actually see the nuances of Greek grammar and emphasis that can too easily and too often get lost in translation.  It has literally transformed the way I study the New Testament. (Other “original” resources include the High Definition Commentary of Philippians and their biggest project of this type to date, the 44-volume Evangelical Exegetical Commentary.)

3) ONLINE TRAINING & SUPPORT

Logos does a simply amazing job of providing its users with practical support options for better understanding a feature or function of their software. Probably the one I use most often and find the easiest and fastest is their video support section.  Simply select your operating system and then choose from their large collection of both professionally crafted training videos and videos created by experienced Logos users. While this support option should meet most people’s needs, you can also explore other online options, such as the knowledge-base article library, their User Forum, their Blog, and even their user-maintained Wiki pages. (Check out the Detailed Search Help page as an example of both the type of help the Wiki provides and the complex power of Logos’ search feature.)

4) MULTIPLE PLATFORMS

After having spent years developing and improving the PC (Windows) version of the core software engine and interface, Logos introduced a totally rebuilt version of their software (version 4) for both Windows and Mac in late 2009. After that came an iPhone/iPod version, then one for iPad, and most recently a version for devices running the Android operating system, (which is my portable OS of choice). If you have Logos on multiple devices, the resources will actually sync-up, meaning that you can exit a specific resource on your computer at home and then pick up right where you left off on a mobile device while waiting for a prescription to be filled, for example. You can even access most of your resources (some are restricted due to licensing agreements) from any computer with an Internet connection by going to Logos’ Biblia.com web site. With all those options, I still, personally, prefer to do a bulk of my Bible study using Logos on my laptop, (mainly because many of the study tools on the other platforms are somewhat limited or missing completely), but greatly appreciate the freedom and flexibility of having access to my library of Bibles and books pretty much any time, any where.

5) CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT/IMPROVEMENT

When Logos first introduced the significantly improved Version 4.0 of their software almost two years ago, it was missing some basic features, such as the ability to print any of your resources. While this type of omission was frustrating for many, it was never really a concern for most users, as they knew from experience that the folks at Logos always seem to be in development mode, adding new features and improving functionality. In fact, in the 21 months since Logos first introduced Version 4.0, there have been two major updates, (i.e. 4.0 to 4.1), with a third (v.4.3) about to go “gold” any day now. In addition to these more significant releases, Logos has issued seven incremental updates, (i.e. 4.0a to 4.0b), consisting mostly of smaller, but still welcome bug fixes and minor enhancements. Best of all, Logos doesn’t charge the user for any of these updates, unlike most other Bible software companies that seem to release a “new and improved” version almost yearly for a discounted, but still significant (at least for my wallet) upgrade charge.

[Blog Author’s Note: In the “timing is everything” department, Logos announced the official release of version 4.3 of their Bible software shortly after I posted this. The most notable (and anticipated) new feature is the inclusion of a re-engineered Personal Book Builder at no charge. (The version for 3.x had a fee to use it.) Personal Book Builder does exactly what it says and I’m looking forward to playing with it, (I mean trying it out), in the days ahead, anticipating that it will be a great addition to the many things (lots more than five, actually) that I like about Logos Bible Software.]

Link: Bible.org

If someone asked me to describe Bible.org in just a few words, I’m not sure I could do it. No, actually I’m pretty sure that I could not do it. The scope and variety of content is pretty massive, with new content by various authors being added regularly. While this link, like most I share, is best experienced and evaluated (regarding value to you) by visiting the actual web site, here are some of the primary features related to better, easier Bible study:

THE BIBLE

Obviously, there is the complete text of the Bible, but not in multiple popular translations like you might find on other major “Bible” sites. No, Bible.org offers only one translation: the NET Bible. I won’t go into too much detail about or comment on this translation other than to say the verse footnotes are extensive and that it has been endorsed by well-known Christian pastors such as Chuck Swindoll, Tony Evans, Howard Hendricks and more. While it is copyrighted, it is available as a free download. The people at Bible.org have also worked hard to build an online “study environment” that makes using the NET Bible for personal study as easy and effective as possible. I encourage you, while you are at Bible.org, to give it a try.

BIBLE STUDIES

Right under the Bible.org logo, you’ll see a “Studies by” menu bar that let’s you browse or search for Bible studies by any of the following:

• Author
• What’s New
• Language
• Series
• Topic
• Book
• Verse

One of the biggest benefits of the Bible.org study materials is also one of it’s biggest challenges: There is a LOT of it by many different authors. Trying to find the ones that meet your needs and are written in the style/format that you like can be extremely time consuming. What has worked well for me and what I recommend to others (you) is that you start with the verse search. Enter a passage in the space provided, hit “enter” and you will be presented with a list of studies that relate to your passage, sorted by “relevance.” Examine the different results and note the authors that you like. Then go to “studies by topic” and pick a topic of interest from the list. Again, read the different studies listed, making note of the names of the authors that present the material in a way you benefit from and enjoy. Later, whether you search by author or simply note the names of your favorites in other search results, you will spend more time actually using the studies then searching for them.

While many of the “studies” on the Bible.org web site could be better classified as “study articles,” similar to a user-friendly commentary, there are those authors who do incorporate individual and/or group study questions, as appropriate.

A BIBLE STUDY “COMMUNITY”

The other aspects of Bible.org, and there are many, are what make it difficult to succinctly or even accurately describe everything you will find or can do on the site. There are different study communities for men, women, pastors, people in children’s ministry, etc. There is also an area where you can read fresh Bible-related blog postings by any one of about two dozen bloggers that are associated with Bible.org, as well as visit Bible.org’s Forums section for online discussion about a variety of topics, including Bible.org. While not really relevant to the topic of “better, easier Bible study,” there is also a “Users” and a “Labs” section for you to get involved with what the people behind Bible.org are trying to accomplish, if you choose, as well as a store where you can purchase physical (as opposed to online) NET Bible-related items.

FINALLY…

If you go to their About Us page and do some other looking around the web site, it will be pretty clear pretty quick that Bible.org is a ministry with a solid Bible-based mission that also relies, at least in part, on voluntary donations by people that use and appreciate the work that went into making all the resources available to change lives and glorify God. If you feel so led, I encourage you to encourage them with a donation.

Passage Study: Matthew 13:1-23

MIRACLE GROW (PARABLE OF THE SOWER)

PASSAGE: Matthew 13:1-23

READ THE TEXT completely through once.

READ AGAIN Jesus’ explanation of the parable (v. 18-23) and answer the following questions:

1. Why do you think some people are more open to spiritual matters than others?

______________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________

2. The seed is the message of the kingdom (v. 19). Who is the farmer, and who is the soil?

______________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________

3. Whom did Jesus liken to seed that fell along the path? Why? (v. 19)

______________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________

4. Who did He say is like the seed sown on rocky soil? Why? (v. 20-21)

______________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________

5. What kind of people were compared to seed sown among the thorns? Why? (v. 22)

______________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________

6. Who is the fruitful seed a picture of? How? (v. 23) _________________________

______________________________________________________________

7. How would you describe your “soil?” Why?______________________________

______________________________________________________________

8. What are some of the practical things we can do to keep our hearts good, fertile soil?

______________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________

9. What are some weeds that tend to limit the effectiveness/impact of a Christian’s life?

______________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________

10. How can you avoid this in your own life and encourage other believers to do likewise?

______________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________

11. What one “weed” will you pull from your life this week? _____________________

THANK GOD for sowing the seed in your heart.  PRAY that the message about the kingdom would take deeper root in your life and bear much more fruit that glorifies God.

CLOSING THOUGHT: Regarding your answer to question #7, as difficult as it is to admit, if your life (words, actions, attitudes) is not regularly making a noticeable, eternal difference for God’s kingdom in the lives of others, then you probably fall into one of the first three categories of soils Jesus described. If so, do something about it today! You’ll be glad you did.

ACTS 2:1-13 EXAMPLE

The Spirit arrives on the Day of Pentecost (vv. 1–13)

Pentecost means ‘fiftieth’ and was celebrated on the fiftieth day after the Passover (Lev. 23:15–22). Pentecost is another name for the Feast of Weeks (Exod. 34:22–23) or the Feast of Harvest (Exod. 23:16). The great national feasts of Israel have great significance in the New Testament. The Passover involved the killing of the Passover lamb and was ultimately fulfilled in the death of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 5:7). Similarly, the coming of the Holy Spirit is the fulfilment of the Feast of Pentecost, a pledge securing the believer’s living hope (2 Cor. 5:5; Eph. 1:13–14).

In accordance with God’s timing, the Spirit came suddenly, accompanied by supernatural sights, sounds, and speech, described as being like a violent wind and fire (vv. 2–3). Words fail to capture the exact phenomena experienced by the disciples, yet the description clearly attests to their supernatural origin. Wind and fire are used in the Bible as pictures of God’s presence and the Holy Spirit (Gen. 15:17; John 3:8). The fire rested on each one of them in that place and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues.

Being ‘filled with the Holy Spirit’ (v. 4) is something that should be continual in the life of a believer. We are commanded to ‘be filled with the Spirit’ (Eph. 5:18), which is accomplished through letting ‘the word of Christ richly dwell within you’ (Col. 3:16). We are filled with the Spirit when we have a mind saturated with the truth of God’s Word (see John 17:17). Stephen was full of the Holy Spirit, as demonstrated by the way he boldly proclaimed Christ, even to the point of death (Acts 6:5; 7:55).

The ‘tongues’ spoken (2:4) were foreign languages, previously unlearned by the speakers, and were clearly understood by the foreign Jews who knew those languages. The population of Jerusalem swelled at Pentecost. During Israel’s national feasts, ‘devout men from every nation’ (v. 5) would make the pilgrimage all the way to Jerusalem in order to participate and worship. Over 200,000 people could assemble around the temple area alone. Many foreign Jews also moved to the region of Judea in their old age so that they could die in the Promised Land.

The visitors to Jerusalem were astonished to hear unlearned, unsophisticated Galilean Jews speaking their own home languages from the Middle East, Asia Minor, Europe, and North Africa. This was surely a supernatural event, one which left them wondering about its meaning (v. 12). Some in the crowd began to mock, dismissing the foreign languages they could not understand as drunken babble (v. 13).

Five Things I Like About WORDsearch

As I mentioned in a previous post, while I own five different Bible software programs, I really utilize only two of them on a regular basis: WORDsearch Bible Software and Logos Bible Software. Both are very good, solid programs and there are a fair number of similarities that make either one a great study tool for personal spiritual growth. As would be expected, each also has its own strengths and weaknesses, especially when compared to each other. However, I find them to be quite complimentary, as well, when used in tandem for personal Bible study.

Next week we’ll look at Logos Bible Software, but I thought it appropriate to start with the first Bible software program I ever purchased and still rely on heavily today.

Here are five of the things I like most (in no particular order) about

1) THE RESOURCES MENU

I really like having one click access to my entire library of resources, sorted by category (my default selection), title or author. The expandable menu tree, which resides on the left side of the desktop, can be set to auto-hide or be anchored open and is great for easily accessing your library of books. You can create your own categories and subcategories and reassign resources to your liking, but I find the default category chosen by the people at WORDsearch pretty right on most of the time. You can also access your list of “favorite” resources and any verse lists you’ve created in just one click. Finally, the ability to filter your search for a book in the resource bar by typing the first few letters of the title or author’s name is a very nice touch.

2) TOPICS SEARCH

I am one of those people who often likes to see what the resources in my library have to say on a certain subject and WORDsearch’s “Topics Search” feature makes that incredibly easy. With about 1,400 total resources amassed in my WORDsearch software library, it’s next to impossible to remember which book, periodical or Bible study talks about a specific subject, and while I can do a normal search for a keyword or phrase, the Topics Search is often the best, most reliable and most comprehensive option. For example, if I do a Topics Search on the word “miracles,” in addition to a list of “hits” on the broader topic, I am also presented with a sizable number of other options, including “Miracles of Christ,” “Healing Miracles,” “Miracles in Acts” and others from which to choose. When I decide on a specific (sub-) topic, I can sort the results by book or location (category), if I want.

3) INSTANT VERSE STUDY

When I am in a hurry and want to print out some material to read and/or reference away from my computer, nothing beats the convenience of WORDsearch’s Instant Verse Study or IVS, as it’s referred to on the menu bar. It’s a simple, incredibly fast three-step process: 1) I type in the Bible verse or range, 2) Check the boxes next to the Bibles and/or commentaries I want to pull material from and 3) click on the “Copy Study Text to Clipboard” button. Then I simply open up a blank document in Microsoft Word, click paste, click print and I’m good to go. As an example, doing an IVS on just Romans 12:1, selecting six Bible translations and eight of the Bible commentaries I use most often resulted in 17 full pages of relevant, insightful text that took almost more time to print than to create. I can now easily read and highlight my study material as I wait at the pharmacy for a prescription or while I ride the bus to/from work.

4) BUILT-IN WORD PROCESSOR

One of the features I like best is the ability to easily add my own resources to the library, whether it be a “public domain” resource from a site like ccel.org or an online article I find especially interesting. The built-in word processor allows me to either type in information or copy and paste it from MS Word or directly from a web page. (I do the latter almost exclusively.) Two really nice features are activated when I save the document. First, the software indexes each word so if/when I search on, let’s say “salvation,” any of the documents I’ve added will be included in that search. The second nice feature is that any verse references I added to my document will automatically become hyperlinks so that when I hover my mouse over the reference, the actually Bible text will appear in a pop-up box, just as it does in the resources created by WORDsearch themselves.

5) THE SALE PRICE$ OF ADD-ON BOOKS

While the WORDsearch web site has a number of resources that seem to be on perpetual sale, (where they just give it a new title depending on the season), their weekly and even daily sales offer some pretty solid resources at some excellent prices. Similar resources for other Bible software platforms, including Logos, (my other software of choice), are almost always more costly, sometimes significantly so. As an example, as I write this, one of my favorite commentary series, the College Press NIV New Testament Commentary sells for $349.95 on the Logos web site, but is only $139.95 on sale on the WORDsearch web site, a significant difference of $210. Even basic items that aren’t on sale, such as the Amplified Bible which is $10 cheaper for WORDsearch than it is for Logos, can often be acquired for less in the WORDsearch format.
