RefTagger from Logos Bible Software
Imagine, if you will, that the people who look at your site will want to read the Scripture texts to which you make reference. Yet, your time is so valuable that you just can’t write individual links by hand for each reference. And we’ll say nothing of all the pages you’ve already written that would have to be edited… But now, there is a 10 minute solution (or maybe even faster if you’re smart enough) that will automatically turn every Scripture reference into a hyperlink to the verses in the translation of your choice – for past, present and future pages and posts!
Death: A Case Study in Biblical Theology
No, biblical theology is not like dying. This lesson combines the theme (death) with a look “behind the curtain” at the method used to study a topic through a portion of Scripture. This lesson covers the first half of the attached handout.
Enjoying Life as a Gift from God
Eat, drink and be merry – the Epicurean’s motto, a despairing last resort or God’s will for your life? This seventh lesson in the Ecclesiastes series examines the “joy-theme” that runs through Ecclesiastes and applies it to our lives today.
Understanding the Vanity
When we think of Ecclesiastes, the first word that comes to our mind is often vanity. What does vanity mean and how does that apply to our lives today?
Two Monitors: Making Sermon Preparation Easier
I first used a dual monitor set-up in a computer lab when I took a course in Visual Basic several years ago. Then I used two monitors while working for IT Training at BJU during grad school. I recently found a great deal on a LCD monitor and now I use two screens when I prepare sermons and Sunday School lessons. For a computer programmer or someone developing training materials, the second screen adds the benefit of seeing code & preview or application & training document at the same time. For Bible study, it lets you see your Bible software and your notes at the same time. I like to have Word open to type my notes on my laptop screen and BibleWorks or Logos open on my second monitor right next to that.
Man in Ecclesiastes
This week’s Sunday School lesson looks at the description of mankind’s condition in Ecclesiastes.
The God of Ecclesiastes
In The Knowledge of the Holy, A.W. Tozer said, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” This week’s Sunday School lesson looks at the revelation of God’s character in Ecclesiastes.
Christians and Technology I: Technology in Preaching & Teaching
Simply because of the year of our birth, we are surrounded by technology. Phones, computers, multimedia players, networks, software, website – they surround us with lights and sounds and shiny buttons and voices and features and connections and … and … and … The list really could go on almost endlessly. With the advent of so much that is “new,” there comes a need to thoughtfully evaluate those things in the light of God’s Word and in application of His wisdom. As I have time, I’ll be posting articles on certain aspects of technology as they compare to God’s Word. The first few will come rapidly because I recently led a set of workshops on some of these topics for youth pastors’ retreat.
Introduction to Ecclesiastes: Finally Through!
Yes, that’s right, after three weeks, I’ve finished the “Introduction” part of the Ecclesiastes Sunday School series. This part of the study concluded with a look at Solomon’s perspective and purpose in Ecclesiastes. The notes are continued from last week’s post, so the download is the same.
More Introduction to Ecclesiastes
Sunday School Week Two: once again, I only made it through 1/2 of the notes I had prepared. I’ve decided that for next week, I won’t prepare any fresh material – I’ll use the material I didn’t get to.
