BIBLE STUDY TOOLS AND TIPS |
---|
I bought an eight-color pencil and keep it in my Bible. I color code scriptures as I read so I can easily find things by topic later. (Christianbook.com has them. They are called 8-Color Dry Mark Bible Highlighter.) Here's how I divided them: sky blue: evidence of the Trinity red: salvation scriptures royal blue: (2 topics) Jesus' ancestors in the OT and scriptures that have become important to me after my "Big Wow" experience pink: important points in each chapter orange: promises yellow: general highlighting of any kind green: prophecy and prophecy fulfilled and scriptures relating to holiness brown: things that refute teachings of cults ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I keep a small quantity of small post-it style notes in the front of my Bible. I separated them and attached them to the front page. Separating them keeps the page flat. When something jumps out at me and needs further study or when I find scriptures I'd like to ponder I write on the post-its or I mark the page with one. My Bible cover (carrying case) has a zippered area for my Bible. Inside that zippered area are two pencil holders that don't interfere with my Bible. I keep a mechanical pencil hooked to one and my multi colored pencil hooked to the other. The cover has an extra flap that fastens with velcro around the part that holds my Bible. That flap opens up and has a place for a 5"x8" notebook as well as a pocket for all my notes. I used to keep all my notes inside the cover of my Bible but I have so many they broke the binding on my Bible. So now I keep only single sheets inside the covers of my Bible. There are a few extra pockets on the case where I can keep other things. |

This book is helpful if you are doing a word study because you can look up every single time the word appears in the Bible. I have scanned a portion of my concordance and you can view it. In the back of the concordance are the Greek and Hebrew words from which the Bible was translated. This way you can look and get a more thorough definition of words to enable you to better understand what was written. (On the sample picture page there are links to online concordances.) [NOTE: There are also computer Bible programs that provide excellent concordances.] |
