1st John Bible Nerd-Study - Week 3

Week 3—1st John Bible Nerd-Study 

*Missed last week? Click here for 1st John Bible Nerd-Study - Week 2

This time, again use your normal translation (we will for the first 5 times), and we are still doing what we did in our first two weeks. Try to complete your straight outline if you haven't and make any obvious adjustments you notice.

New: Do you notice any words or phrases that seem to show up often? Jot them down. You don't need to do the search for them but gather a potential list to study later.

Mainly: We are trying to get our straight outline solid. So let's read through working on our outline again while preparing for some term searches.

Thank you all for sharing your notes and insights, etc. They have been so encouraging to all of us, and just knowing that others are studying too is a major motivation to press on in this.

Example:

The link below is a version of a straight outline where I did it with all of the text. I just pasted the verses in Word and used bullets to keep it straight. This digital method makes it pretty fast to move things around and sometimes you can see a little better. 

I basically always start with paper though. It may just be me or that I do so much on the computer at the office, but I love to read with a notepad and jot my notes down that way. Then I go back through when I have some extra time and compile some of my notes into something digital. It's a good way for me to review them, organize them, and sometimes improve on them as I see it more clearly. 

Things I'm pondering on recently while reading through:
  1. All of the evil aspects and how they fit in. The antichrist sections especially (and testing the spirits). 
  2. There's a place in chapter 3 dealing with practicing righteousness that I realize has more than I've caught so far. I'm seeking the Lord to see not only the connection but the differences. 
  3. The transition from love to victory and the concluding notes is so smooth in chapter 5 that it's difficult to tell where to break sometimes.

Crave the word

  So glad for this verse today:    as newborn babes  desire earnestly  [crave] the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation  - 1 Peter 2:2 Try reading 10 chapters by the  choice  of craving and then read some more by the reactive desire of it.  How often are my 5 or 10 second moments spent checking some other happiness than Christ? In 5 seconds I can check notifications or I can chew on my manna for the day. In 10 seconds I can check for new emails or rehearse that verse I've been trying to memorize. I can spend just 5 minutes listening to the news or I can spend it finishing a daily Bible reading portion.  Mother's milk is the best thing for the newborn baby. The milk of the word is the best source of joy all through the day. "crave ... the word ... if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord is good."

Salvation by tossing a man overboard

Jonah 1:14-16  Then they cried out to the Lord, 'Please, Lord, do not let us die for taking this man’s life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for you, Lord, have done as you pleased.' Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. At this the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows to him. This is deliverance by casting the stubborn prophet overboard.  It’s that part of your heart, deep asleep in the depths of the boat, that is running from the Lord. He is not innocent. He is not to be kept on the ship. Release him to the Lord’s monster-fish to be brought near to Sheol. If he dies, it was the Lord who let him die. If he is brought to land, your old stubbornness against the Lord’s will may become your new resoluteness to accomplish the Lord’s mission.  Oh Lord, I cast away this stubborn ‘man’ inside of me and release him to Your storms. Judge and do as You please. As for me, I will no

God Has Spoken Series

Question: Where can I get the audio messages of Stephen Kaung's God Has Spoken series? If I could recommend only one book or series by Stephen Kaung it would be his God Has Spoken series. He shared a message for each book of the Bible, giving a simple overview and revealing the way to find Christ as you read. It is not only his classic set but it's His way with the Scriptures. Our brother could always find Christ and find Him as He's meant to be found. For a new believer and an old believer, this is the first set to have as guide through the Bible and a reference set to go back to later on.  Below are links to each of the original messages.   Old Testament  Introduction to the Old Testament Genesis -The Will of God Exodus -The Works of God Leviticus - The Ways of God Numbers -The Walk of God Deuteronomy - The Word of God Joshua - Possessing the Land   Judges - Possessing all the Possessions Ruth - Recovery of the Inheritance I Samuel - Epoch-Making Vessel II Samuel - A Man
