My PC crashed this week. I'll spare you the gory details and just say I had to reload everything from the operating system forward.
This
meant I found myself Wednesday afternoon preparing a devotional on my
wife's computer with no Logos software. Being an "old guy," it
felt...familiar. This is the way I did an exegesis 25 years ago: a word
processor and printed resources. On Wednesday I had time to investigate one
resource.
This leads me to Boyle's Law of Bible Study. Where the
volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure, the number of
resources you can use in a given amount of study time is directly
proportional to the tools you have. To put it another way, the
preparation of a devotional or sermon will expand to fill the time
allotted to it. The depth of the study depends on the tools.
Go, Logos.
