Chaptèr 13. Paragraph Study

I really like that this chapter builds on the last chapter. Step 1 is to do a chapter study our chapter 12 in this course. On step 2 observe the details I made a chart on what to look for, connective, also the grammatic construction (verbs, nouns, adverbs, and adjectives). Another…

Lesson 12 Chapter Study

This lesson reinforces my need to start using charts and outlines. I will still use the devotional method, but I will be incorporating the charts and outlines. This course is changing how I study the Bible, thanks OBI and God bless.

Lesson 11 Book Study

Before I would do the initial Study by reading the Book in the KJV, NASB, and the NIV. Then I would do a devotional Study in the NKJV. I would not do the charts and outlines. This lesson has convinced me that I will get alot more out of my Bible studies by incorporating these into my studies.

Lesson 9 Studying the Bible by the Bible

This lesson was informative. I did not know that Psalms 119 had the most references to the Word than any other chapter in the Bible. I knew that the word had many symbols, but until you see them numbered you don’t know just how many there are 16. Also the same goes…

Chapter 8 : Outline, Marking, Charting

I have never understood the marking with different colored hi-lite pens. It now makes sense. I will still write my notes in the margins, but I might try marking.

I have used charting, both horizontal and vertical, both are very useful.

The outline I have used, but I have…

This lesson deals with the history of the Bible from the Creation through to early years of the Church. It divides the Old and New Testaments into 15 divisions (11 Old Testament and 4 New Testament). These divisions are in chronological order.

I can see the humor with Moses mother nursing him for Pharaoh’s daughter. But just the name Moses means “drawn out of water” according to That’s Easy For You To Say. Some times when you are studying the Bible you are amazed at God’s sense of humor.
