Thanks!

Did you see my question to you about video embedding on one of your old threads? http://community.logos.com/forums/p/7608/60979.aspx#60979

I'd missed it. Thanks! I'll go answer it there now.

Mark,

On the Note Taking video  I see great potential to work on sermons / teachings within LOGOS. I experimented yesterday with a topic and now have 8 "folders of Clippings - some of which have Notes added". I have to say that this approach has realy inspired me. What a great way to put LOGOS to work for us. I love it.

My vote is to develop this area even more so it can take us from the sermon-idea to the printed page. My question is how to transfer my work to a portable form of some kind. Could we have a way to "Export to ___ (Microsoft Word)" for instance or "Create a Powerpoint" from an item in Favorites. How do you do this now?

My other concern is that ... in time, will the Favorites / Clippings files become unmanagable due to the sheer numbers of files. Is there a way to organize files within this system?

[BTW - thanks for ALL these videos - very informative & practical. Our LOGOS experience has taken yet another huge leap forward.]

Thanks so much!  I have learned something about Logos and about scripture study with each one I've watched.  I appreciate how much effort you put into guiding us, especially while seeing how much work you put into leading your own congregation.

Mark,

Thank you very much for the videos, they are superb and extremely helpful.  I noticed in the first video that you have a list of collections in the cited by tool when you clicked the down arrow.  I can view my collections individually, but am unable to figure out how to make a list of collections appear in the cited by tool.  Thank you!

Mark, thank you very much for the time and effort needed to create these and I want to especially thank you for emphasizing the need to let the biblical text speak to you before resorting to other tools. One of the most dreaded comments I hear in SS class, is that "My study bible says that the verse means this", when they haven't even begun to let the verse speak for itself. BTW, I loved your methodology for note taking.

@LaRosa Johnson

Thank you!  That would explain everything.  

Mark,

I want to thank you for all of the hard work that you've put into sharing your sermon prep with us.

I also would like to say thank you for being gracious and humble, we've benefitted from your example there also.

if what we've seen on the forum is any indictation, then your congregation is fortunate to have you as their pastor.

Generally my congregation don't care too much about Greek/Hebrew, and nor should they. Neither do I want to undermine their confidence in the Bible they carry in their hands. So I try to wear my new-found knowledge lightly, letting it inform my thinking, but not feeling the need to parade it before them

They need to devote a whole semester to achieving this attitude in seminary. Every time I hear the words "a better translation of this word would be" from the pulpit, I cringe (All the more so because I am sure that I did it as well). There are times that we must disagree with how a word or phrase are translated, but we need to make sure that it does not rob our people of their confidence in their Bible.

I'd recommend listening to Mark's sermon

Where can we find this?

Excellent sermon Mark!  It ought to be posted with your videos.  The videos lead to up to the edge but the sermon takes the blindfold off to see the view.  Thanks so much.

Mark Barnes said:

I've now finished my video series on preparing a sermon. It's in four parts, and the first two I've posted before. Here's all the videos, in case you missed some. It's best to view them in full screen mode. Once you've clicked play, look for the little button with four arrows next to the Vimeo logo.

Getting Started

Mark,

I have just finished going through the first two videos. I took about five hours and created the layouts on my Logos 4.

This is the best training for Logos 4 that I have seen!

Thanks again for the great videos!

Bill Gordon

Mark

Thanks for that video's. It realy gives me fresh ideas!

I hope logos will do the rest to straighten the path of taking notes more easily

Hans vd Herik

Mark,

Again, you have done a great service to the Logos community. I thank you. Be blessed.

PS - All of the videos (on the link above) are helpful and so is the WIKI site. This is something I had ignored for quite some time thinking the FORUM was enough. Then I discovered that the BLOG contains very useful news and information - that I might have missed. In these three areas, we have all the tremendous support we need to utilize such a tremendous tool - LOGOS. Thanks be to God and to Him be all the glory, now and forever!

Mark, Awesome. I wish I had found your vid's months ago. I'm always interested in how others study. Thanks for including us. By the way, I take it that you're not from Texas by your dialect? Cheers!

So I try to wear my new-found knowledge lightly, letting it inform my thinking, but not feeling the need to parade it before them. As a consequence I don't need to take that many notes, as I'm not going to quote them. More importantly, what I'm learning is shaping my understanding, and my understanding is more important than my knowledge in this situation. In other words, what I learn changes the way I view a passage, which changes the way I preach a passage, which affects my congregations understanding of that passage. Which means I can change their understanding without needing to share all my learning.

I just took the time to watch each video. Outstanding ... absolutely, outstanding. I've used Logos for years but continue to learn how people incorporate into their study. I really appreciated your approach and see how a philosophy of textual importance is just as important as how to use the tool. I loved your comment above. If you lived in Texas, we'd be great friends.

Shawn, thanks for bringing us that quote of Mark's. I'm sure I read it ages ago, but it is great to be reminded of it. Wonderful advice!

New to Logos 4 and i immensely enjoyed all of your videos. I love seeing how other preachers, study, make notes, do outlines and use bible programs to suit their needs. I learned alot from your videos and learned some thing to help streamline and make my study time and sermon preparation more efficient.  

Mark, these videos are great. I know I saw some you did a while ago that were based on Libronix 3. I would love to be able to see those if you still have them avalible. Maybe if they are not online you might consider letting me download them???

Anywa, thanks for all you do [:)]
