Westminster Confession of Faith In-Line Notes for your Bibles!
Reformed Logos Community,
I have created and shared a document (a Notebook), containing notes for each phrase of the entire Westminster Confession of Faith.
You can add the document to your logos library here: https://flshare.net/k45tf8
Once you add this document to logos, it does the following:
1) In your Bible, green star icons will appear before a biblical verse or passage that is referenced in the Confession (These can be turned on or off in the visual filters).
2) Hovering over a green star icon will show you the exact phrase where Westminster references the verse.
3) Clicking a green star icon will open up the note for that WCF phrase, showing you both the WCF phrase and whole WCF paragraph where that verse is referenced.
During your regular Bible reading/study, this will allow you to see how the verses in question are referenced by Westminster, essentially giving you a WCF Study Bible.
I have attached a PDF that explains how this can be used: 4645.wcf-in-line-posts-a.pdf
Please give it a try and let me know what you think!
Blessings,
Wesley W. Weber Jr.

Wow Wes, this looks great! I have watched you put this together and know you have put on a lot of work into this. Thank you! It has been great to be reading during my morning devotions and see a proof text. Then when studying a passage/verse in a commentary it is helpful to see where the WD have confessed a truth of scripture. I feel this will help those of us who subscribe to the Westminster Standards grow In our theology, and going from the Scriptures to the Confession is the proper way to go.

Hi Wes
I’m sure the community greatly appreciates what you’ve created here (at least WCF fans). I know I do.
How many unique verses are referenced? This seems like a mountain of work you’ve done.
Have you contacted the devs to possibly incorporate this as a standard feature?
thanks

There are 578 phrases in the Westminster Confession (in the American version), with 1622 anchored biblical proof-texts (verses/passages). I have not contacted Logos about this... but it would be nice if this was added as a visual filter!

If you are using a webpage to link to the document, be sure you are logged into your Logos account.
The file is located here: https://flshare.net/k45tf8
If that does not work, click here: https://documents.logos.com/documents/f4699740aae3ae134fad6a7f4191daf6/details
There should be a blue pulldown in the upper-right of the page that lets you connect to the document.
Alternatively, you can use the "Documents" app from within the desktop version of Logos, and search for "Westminster Confession: In Line Notes", and it will give you the option to add the document there.

Hi Wesley
I am new to reformed theology so this is extremely helpful. Thank you so much for the hard work you put in.
Blessings

You are welcome! Again, the idea is that when we are reading the Bible, we can see where the WCF references it.
Usually we have to start with the WCF and then go from there to the Bible reference, now we can start with the Bible and go from there to the WCF reference.
Blessings! I am new to Reformed Theology too (well, at least to Covenantal Presbyterianism).

I've been using https://www.logos.com/product/204921/before-the-face-of-god-book-1-a-daily-guide-for-living-from-the-book-of-romans in my morning devotions and have found your WCF In-Line Notes to be a great addition. It's nice having them right there when moving back and forth from R.C.'s book to the Bible. Thanks again.

I appreciate you reaching out.
I have been working on a Westminster Shorter with similar (and better) functionality. Takes awhile!
