Index of Bible Studies

Peace to all!          *smile*                             Earlier I said, "Incredible"!                    Now, I add "Awesome"!                     I have to make a decision quite soon as tok whether or not this is the "way I should go" in my studies and research at my age and in my situation. 

                   Richard, the thoroughness of your brilliant conception really is incredible!     *smile*               Love the concept!           However, if I use this concept, will I save time or would it cost me time.             But, what a roller-coaster experience it would be!

                                                                                    Indeed!

 

Please let me share an important (to me!!!!)                poem                           Hope it's helpful to you for meditation on this day!

Lord I Have Time

By Michel Quoist

I've been out, Lord,
Outside people were going out.
They were going,
They were coming,
They were walking,
They were rushing.

Motor bikes were rushing by,
Cars were rushing by,
Trucks were rushing by.
The street was rushing,
The city was rushing,
The whole world was rushing.

They were rushing so as not to lose time.
They were rushing after time to catch up with time,
to gain time.
Goodbye sir, excuse me, I haven't time.
I'll come back, I can't wait, I haven't time.

I'd like to help you, but I haven't time.
I can't accept, for lack of time.
I can't reflect, read, I'm snowed under, I haven't time.

The child - he's playing,
he hasn't time at the moment....later on...
The schoolboy - he's got his homework,
he hasn't time...later on...
The student - he's got his lectures, and such a lot of work,
he hasn't time...later on...
The young man - he's playing sport,
he hasn't time...later on...
The married man - he has his house to run,
he hasn't time...and later on...
The father - he has his children,
he hasn't time...and later on...
The grandparents - they have their grandchildren,
they haven't time...later on...
They're sick! They have their cares,
they haven't time...later...
They're dying, they have...
Too late! They haven't any more time!
That's how they're all rushing after time, Lord.

They pass by on earth, always rushing, hurrying,
jostling, weighed down, snowed under, nearly demented.
And they never get there, there's not enough time.
Despite all their efforts, there's never enough time.

Lord, you must have made a mistake somewhere.
There's been a tremendous oversight.
The hours are too short, the days are too short,
lives are too short.

You, who are outside of time,
You smile, Lord, to see us struggle with it.
And you know what You are doing.
You don't make mistakes when You allot time to men.
You give to each one the time to do what You want him to do.

But is it wrong to lose time, to waste time, to kill time,
For time is Your gift to us -
But a perishable gift, a gift that doesn't keep.
Lord, I have time
I have all my time,
All the time You gave me,
The years of my life,
The days of my years,
They are all mine. Mine to fill up calmly, peacefully,
But to fill up completely, right to the brim -
To offer to You, that of their stale water
You may make a generous wine, as once at Cana for a
human wedding feast.

I don't ask this evening Lord,
for time to do this or that.
I ask for the grace to do conscientiously,
in the time that You gave me,
the thing that You want me to do.

 

Peace, Richard!                    *smile*                          Thank you very much!                              Do you plan to put your "books covered" list in your next document, since I have different books in my library than you have in your library.

              Actually, I should just "get to work," eh?   *smile*                        But, it is nice to "piggyback" and gain ground on someone else's work!    *smile*

This is amazing. Thank you. May I ask how others are using it?

Peace, Bruce!        *smile*                 Absolutely amazing!                      However, I have not done very much with the file personally!   Perhaps your post will inspire me to begin to tackle it, eh???             Thanks for posting!

Richard Wilson said:

I'm still working on improving it. In about a week I should have another version ready, with all the books in Platinum (version 5). So it will be a lot bigger.

Personally I use it when preparing Bible studies. After I have read a few commentaries on the passage, I look up the references in this file, which often give me other ideas for the Bible study that the commentaries don't give.

Peace, Richard!                                 Usually my weeks pass way too quickly!            *smile*                        However, this coming week is welcome to pass very quickly indeed because of the "goodies" attached to your sharing when you have the opportunity for your new version!

                  Am looking forward to it and appreciate the fact that you do indeed "share" with your brothers and sisters.

Just posting so that this thread comes up in my "My Forums" page, so I'll know if there's an update [:)]. Thanks so much for this resource.

Peace to Mark and Richard!            *smile*

          Blessings to both of you -- and your families!!! -- as you continue to serve Him and His People through your various "sharings"!  *smile*

Mark, I'm wondering -- Probably missing the obvious! -- What is a "My Forums" page?

Thank you, Mark!               That is so clever!            *smile*                    I would never have figured that out without your help!  Appreciated much!

Richard,

coming across this for the first time as I am a recent convert to logos. But this is fantastic.

If Logos were giving away (say) $100 for what we voted the best PB of the year, this would be my vote for 2013.[:)]

Also, could someone confirm that I build this as a "monograph".

I got the following warning when I built, which was odd as I tried again after "Accept all changes and turn off tracking" in Word 2013, but to no avail - still get warning. The first time I got it, and didn't even open up the document.

The warning:

[Warning] Document has change tracking enabled with revisions pending review, and may not be converted correctly. Please review the pending revisions in Word and rebuild.

Thanks for the work

Here's a cover to distinguish it from other content.

Anthony, great job on the cover image. I'd like to use it. Could you fix it from your original file (if you still have it) to spell LOGOS with all upper-case letters instead of with the lower-case 's' at the end? Many people mistakenly spell it Logo's or a plural (LOGOs) but it's all one word, from the Greek word λόγος.

Richard Wilson said:

So I have written a program which will create an index of the Bible studies in your copy of Logos

This is so very helpful and useful.  Thank you so so much!

Brothers and Sisters!                     *smile*

               A public thank you to Richard Willson for his sharing!              This is an absolutely incredible aid to all of us; and I for one truly appreciate it!

                       His program went through all my resources and indexed them so beautifully in the categories mentioned in the various posts of this thread.  I am attaching a sample screenshot...           I own Portfolio with 9,095 resources; so one can see what a powerful program Richard has devised!            *smile*

                                I will be grateful for a long, long, long time for all the work that was done for me...       *smile*

Incredible!                      Yes!                        Incredible!                    *smile*

That looks great Milford! Would this process work for a Mac? I have the Index of Bible Studies, and it is absolutely great! But I haven't tried the process of running the program to narrow it down to only my resources because I assumed it would only work on a PC.
