The Best Note-taking system ever!

1/14/2022

Finding ways to establish a system of study and seeking to refine that along the way will help boost our exegetical efficiency and result in improvement in our expository preaching.

The best Bible study, note-taking system I have come across ultimately comes from Jonathan Edwards, but I was exposed to it through a Presbyterian pastor and preacher, Dr. Matthew Everhard, on his YouTube channel. There he instructs us on this updated system which he learned from his scholarly study of the Puritan preacher, Jonathan Edwards and it is known as the Miscellanies.

I am personally personally engaged on my own Miscellanies Project as I use it to focus on key verses from Bibliology, Christology, Soteriology, etc. In addition to this, I am using it to focus on key passages in Hebrews, and all of Jude, 1 & 2 Thessalonians and Titus. It's time consuming but well worth doing it several days every week. I have also required my students to adopt their own Miscellanies so as to expose them to this method and enrich their study of God's Word.

Following Dr. Everhard's example, this can be done very miscellanies-like (meaning: mixed; various with your own choice of passages). Or, one can be more methodical like focusing on a theme like all verses related to the importance of the cross & the atonement or justification by faith or sanctification.

Anyway this is the most awesome system I’ve come across! Have fun and make a plan!

Theology Lab! ... The Unchanging gospel

Have you ever been on a quest? I am on one and have been since I was born-again and came to Christ by faith and received His forgiveness. It is a quest to have and to maintain a greater understanding and knowledge of God and to exalt Christ and His gospel!

If we saturate our mind with the truths of the unchanging gospel, and the cross and echo the apostle Paul's declaration in Galatians 6:14, then we will be clearly on a good start of that quest. May the Lord richly bless you as you pursue doctrinal and transformational truth which is only found in His Word!

This is the ministry blog of Robert Thomas Clark, It is designed to be a repository of inspiring, impactful & influential posts on biblical truth, themes and concepts, which brings insights and initiates inquisitiveness!.

I believe as the guys on "One-Minute Apologist" that we should be ready to provide "credible answers to curious questions".

I also believe in the inerrancy of God's Word as it is trustworthy and verifiable and tied to God's character of truthful. Baucham has stated, "I choose to believe the Bible because it is a reliable collection of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They report supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and they claim that their writings are divine rather than human in origin"

I desire nothing more than to exalt Christ and to lead and equip others for ministry in exegetical method and expository preaching and following hard after Christ, even as I serve alongside many of them!.

Life Verse: “And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”
--- Colossians 3:17

Inspirational Quotes:
“There is no aspect of life but that the gospel has something to say about it. The whole of life must come under its influence because it is all-inclusive; the gospel is meant to govern and control everything in our lives… We must realize the greatness of the gospel, its vast eternal span. We must dwell more on the riches, and in the riches, of these great doctrinal absolutes.”
-- Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

"The Bible.
Know it in your head.
Stow it in your heart.
Show it your life.
Sow it in the world."
-- Dr. J. Vernon McGee
