    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.

    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.

    • @MrYuppyCalvinist
      @MrYuppyCalvinist 3 часа назад +1

      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 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!

    • @kerrytusc
      @kerrytusc 7 часов назад

      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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.
