[quote user="Dan Starcevich"]I am running Logos 8.6 and am looking for a query that will find all the instances where God is the creator. Does anyone have a query they use and think it finds all the verses they might like to share?[/quote] The Bible Browser Tool works great for things like this. Type in "Create" and see many possible searches. See attached

How far are you along in skillfully using Logos? Learning how to harness the capabilities of Logos Software is in my mind the best investment. There are many guides, tools and workflows available that can assist in the process of sermon development. Particularly useful for me are The Passage Guide and Sermon Starter Guide, The Word Study Tool is great

I'm not a Baptist, but the Logos 8 Baptist Gold Collection in my opinion is probably 'the best bang for the buck' when it comes to preaching resources. It has great sermon archives, which are helpful for illustrations and application. It also has many other sermon tools and helps. In my 9 years of using Logos, it probably is the one purchase I have

[quote user="Scott David"] Perhaps Logos could have a "WEB" search button in the inline search and other search tools. In the settings you can choose your preferred engine (e.g. Bing, Google, Yahoo, etc). Perhaps a split pane that opens if the web button is chosen. One search, searching both Logos, and the internet -- if desired. [/quote] I like that

[quote user="Randall Runion"]Which resources do you find are the most help in writing the Application portion of your sermons? [/quote]. Devotionals. I find using the Cited By tool to be very helpful. If I type in the scripture passage I am working from into the lookup box I can then find devotionals or illustrations that reference that passage. Quite

Sorry to hear of your frustration. I have a 6 year old Macbook Pro and find Logos 8 to be very speedy. I just did a search for "progressive dispensationalism" in all my resources (4,561 resources), 361 results in 134 articles came back in under 1 second. I am very happy with that.

I agree that it would be helpful to be able to select and then copy to the clipboard, from many places in Logos. I would like to be able to select and copy from the Search Results page, from the Information Tool, from the Power Lookup, from the Bible Word Study Guide, from the Text Comparison Tool, etc. That would save a lot of time and the effort involved

[quote user="Francis"]Currently typing a Bible reference in the command box and hitting enter will result in the command Open passages study layout to <reference>. It would be better if it opened one's preferred Bible to the reference instead.[/quote] I agree that the default enter key action should be to go to reference in preferred Bible.

[quote user="DAL"] Does it have outlines? Or is it just one huge chunk of text manuscript with title only and zero divisions? Could you copy and paste a sample? [/quote] This is a reading view capture, appears to be just a manuscript with title.

I find the Faithlife forums very helpful and I am grateful for those who contribute. If there are some who do receive some kind of discount or free materials... I am completely good with that. I seriously doubt that anyone is getting rich doing this. Having visited these forums for the last 11 years I see no conspiracy.

Hi Tes, below I have copied and pasted relevant material from one of my Logos resources. Lesson 7—The Power of the Blood for the Individual, Family, and Nation The blood of Jesus is powerful. It protects, as in the case of the Passover blood protecting the children of Israel in Egypt. It purges away sin, as in the case of Jesus, the Lamb of God

Thanks for listening and answering Kyle! I typically use sermon archives in the latter stages of my own sermon preparation. I want to see how the author/preacher approached a scripture passage (outlines) and also in looking for application and illustration. If there would be a way to highlight or index the author's/preacher's illustrations that would

I agree with Dal that Adrian Roger's Sermon Archive is laid out the best of all the sermon archives and I too am disappointed in the Logos layout of Skip Heitzig's sermons. They are difficult to navigate through to find relevant material. It reminds me of reading through emails that are too long to find the important information. In my estimation digital

Thanks for the response and links! I think I will probably go with using the Sermon Editor to house my sermons. While it will mean more work initially to import them, the Sermon Editors continued development seems more likely than that of personal books and thus probably a better long term solution.
-
Thanks Dal! I hadn't thought about how difficult it might be to navigate through hundreds of sermons in the sermon editor. And, jI hadn't thought about how they would/could appear on my mobile device. On the one hand my sermons would be available in my iPad via the sermon editor. But on the other hand they could be difficult to sort through. Presently

I need some advice. I want to bring all of my sermons and lessons going back 25+ years into the Logos environment. That way the sermons and lessons will be searchable and available in the passage and sermon guides. All of my sermons and lessons are currently stored in Microsoft Word files, the earlier ones are in the doc format, the more recent are

I want to interject my opinion here. I have to say as a Logos user since Logos 3 that I am not in the least bit disappointed with 8. I really like many of the additions and changes that have been to the software. Logos 8 is the cutting edge of Bible software and it has given us fantastic research and presentation capabilities. Sure there are things
