"We're the Everhard family. We're Presbyterian. We do family devotions." Pure gold.
the chronological read has truly been rewarding … if nothing but to understand that the table of contents in most Bibles does not represent truly the sequence of how things occurred …
I’ve been considering chronological Bible reading. The hesitation comes from how much of it is conjecture, and man’s interpretation some dates we know, some we do not, and some are hotly debated.
@@michaelclark2458 the ESV Chronological Bible is very good with that. It includes charts and things like that and whenever the dating is not sure it makes it clear. I'm enjoying it!
About taking notes during the sermon, my favorite thing to do is listen in church without taking notes and then listen to the sermon online that afternoon and take notes.
Wonderful. I think I may start encouraging my parishoners to do this. Keller, in his book on preaching, said there are times when note-taking can actually be detrimental at times (we're too busy trying to recall what the pastor just said, rather than worshipping in the moment at the greatness of God in Christ as it is being preached).
I agree with your wife about reading and listening to the Bible at the same time. This has been very beneficial to me. I’m not sure how it came up in conversation, but I suggested it to an older gentleman at my church a couple of weeks ago. Last Sunday he up to me excited to tell me how much he loved reading and listening at the same time.
I think listening to a Bible narration like the one provided by the ESV app has been tremendously helpful.
I have the ESV Readers' edition on Kindle. It has no verses or footnotes, and so I can listen to Kindle read it at 4X speed while I read along with it. Having two senses (eyes and ears) engaged simultaneously helps me stay focused. That I can read it at 4X also helps me to read large sections of Scripture to better get a "bird's eye view" of the bigger picture.
I started reading the Bible in Spanish and have been learning about new words in English that I just glossed over in the past. Reading in a different language helps a lot!
Sometimes it will read in a different tense than in English. The Spanish/English readings can show one where decisions were made in interpretations and perhaps where either Spanish and/or English might be deficient in directly translating a thought exactly.
Writing scripture is so underrated!
Yes, I love to write Scripture, listen and read, and read it aloud to myself. And all the notebooks.
Thank you, Bro Matthew for investing your valuable time to share your ideas with our YT community
Another idea, in case no one has mentioned it, is to read out loud and record scriptures with your own voice. This has really helped me to focus on the word of God. Then you can listen to it later as you go about your day.
I often think if I had my grandparents thoughts on their life long devotions, sermons and personal Bible studies. Wish I had been diligent when my child was young and started writing early.
It caught my attention when you mentioned about taking notes during your Revelation sermons. I thought it might encourage you to know that my husband and I get together with our pastor and his wife once a week to study Revelation. To prepare each week we read the passage and then listen to your sermon (or David’s) on that passage, take notes, and then we get together and talk about it. Your online sermons have been a real blessing to us. We are in chapter 20 currently, so this has been a long time endeavour. Blessings from Alberta, Canada
Hallelujah!!! I’m favored and blessed with $60,000 every week! Now I can afford anything and also support the work of God and the church.
Oh really? Tell me more!
This is what Melissa Jonas Richard does, she has changed my life.
After raising up to 60k trading with her, I bought a new house and car here in the US and also paid for my son’s (Oscar) surgery. Glory to God.shalom.
I know Melissa Jonas Richard, and I have also had success...
Absolutely! I have heard stories of people who started with little or no knowledge but managed to emerge victorious thanks to Melissa Jonas Richard.
The Geneva Bible is really interesting, especially with the translation notes. 100% recommend. I homeschool my kids so I am using that as an opportunity to learn biblical Greek.
Thanks Pastor Matthew, gained several new ideas.
I’ve been watching your channel for quite awhile but never noticed the resources you have under links. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the great video, Pastor Matthew!
thank you. all great ideas, i will start to apply some today.
Thank you so much, Pastor Matt! Great ideas! I am sharing this with my Bible study group. We are already doing some of these and it is really wonderful.
This was so timely. It was what I’ve been praying about. I got every translation and study Bible possible over the last two months. But I haven’t had a plan aside from reading the daily Charles Stanley. Life principles in the NASB95, but I’m trying to find ways to keep reading and figuring out which translation to start with. I’m glad this popped up as I prayed the day before for guidance.
I'm the same way with reading the Bible through at least once a year. My second time through this year was a csb chronological Bible. I love the NT chronologically. After the gospels, Acts is basically the backbone of the whole NT. You read about the establishment of a church, then read the letters to them.
Love the Geneva Bible. I have the Revised Geneva Bible, and the original print with the notes. Fascinating translation.
Man, alive, how I'd love to learn Hebrew and Greek. As much as I love to learn things in general, this never really even occurred to me in all these decades. I think I assumed it was totally inaccessible/over my head. It probably is. But I should have at least tried. It would have to be something in person, though. My eyes are burned out from so many years of screen staring. It's really starting to scare me. The thought of not being able to read anymore in general, but especially God's Word, fills me with terror. I'm not anywhere near that yet, but... it's dawning on me that it may become a very real possibility in the not so distant future. Hopefully Jesus will return or take me Home before then!
Family devotional our church uses is Old story new and long story short. If you don’t know where to start on family devotions that’s a great one. Just follow along. Much better than doing nothing at all.
during my chronological read, came to realize Josiah read to Judah from ‘The Book of the Law’ (although they wouldn’t listen) … after the captives returned … Ezra and Nehemiah read to them from ‘The Book of the Law’ (trying to build them up spiritually) …
why can't i find a pastor like you anywhere near me?
They are hard to find.
Amen to that!
I'd give anything to have a family of my own so we could do family devotions. And also homeschooling. The idea that people have families and choose not to do one or both of these is mind boggling to me. What's even the point of having a family if you're not going to pour into them that way? I just don't get it. Give your kids to me! I'll do it!
❤You must have a big heart for kids. Maybe you should be involved in your church’s children’s ministry.
Thank you for the reminder about reading in a different language! I understand spoken Spanish. I wish I had practiced speaking it growing up. But outside of reading maybe signs on the street or a few lines of newspaper/magazine articles that my father would have around, I've never read it. I've been toying with the idea of reading at least the New Testament. The OT would surely be the end of me! What I wish is that there existed a Spanish equivalent to the ESV. Otherwise my brain will be confused with not just two languages, but two translations. But I don't think that exists. The Reina-Valera is over my skill level. The NVI, which is equivalent to the English NIV, might be my best bet.
I’m learning Spanish now! RV is most similar to the ESV. Same publisher. It has been rewarding to listen to Ligonier Ministries in Spanish, particularly Sugel Michelon. God bless.
@@brian791 Hm, I hope not. Then I'm in trouble. Oh, I didn't know Ligonier has Spanish messages! That will help prime my brain, as I am used to hearing conversational, everyday Spanish, not biblical content. Will have to check it out, thanks.
@@brian791 Oh, cool, he has a message on the history of the Bible in Spanish! I look forward to watching that after I'm done with work stuff. Thanks again.
Wondering if you'll do a video on Steven Lawson when more info is publicly available, and how we should respond?
Yeah, initiial language courses online is a fantastic way to fail, or worse, put yourself permanently in the, "Know enough to be dangerous," category. If you can't take/audit a course, at least ask someone who does know the languages if they'll tutor. Most of us need the excuse to review our foundations.
Also, Wifey and I are doing Chronological Reading this year. I do recommend it as an option.
And yes, as Reformed, family devotions should be the norm. As they have been throughout our heritage.
Thank you for what you do here! Do you have any advice for men that came to faith later in life and whose kids are already in the double digits?
Any tips for somebody that does not like to take notes due to spelling and penmanship. I don’t mind putting myself out here, but I wasn’t a fan of school. I passed by the skin of my teeth.
I do enjoy listening to the Bible . That is how I start off every morning at work. I am more an audible learner than reading. Saying that I enjoy listening to a lot of sermons when I’m at work too.
Cattywampus!
Please link the Spanish -English parallel Bible.
That little girl at the table has a BIG hand! Must be a heavy Bible...?
The Lord impressed on your heart that you should be in the word everyday sounds a little charismatic brother. Remember God doesnt speak outside of His word anymore, Did you have a verse that God illumined to read the bible everyday?
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
Joshua 1:8
God “impressing” on our heart is nowhere near “God spoke to me.” God is always prompting us BY impressing on our hearts.
@coryscook91 What chapter is this information you are speaking about from ?
Oh my! I’m sad that you don’t know that God uses the Holy Spirit to guide us or “impress upon our hearts” to seek Him. John 16:12-14. John 14:26. Let’s not go to the extreme of severe legalism.
You would hate the puritans 😅
TRUTH or TRUTHY? in the beginning, baby god was not breast-fed, so humanity was drowned like so many unloved kittens.
Take your gibberish elsewhere.
