Nolan, Great idea! How do you select study topics? Is there a source book? If so, where do I snag a copy? Come to think of it, where do you find time for this? Colin |

Greetings, my friend! Here's what I do and how I find topics: (every day) - "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers - "Tozer on the Holy Spirit" by A.W. Tozer - "Our Daily Bread" by RBC Ministries - Daily Manna Bible Verse - Reading Through the Entire Bible in a Year The Source Book? The Bible of course! Doing one of the above most of the time produces its own 'daily' topic for me! But other times, I just have to rely on Scripture itself. Sometimes I look at Greek and Hebrew words, just to discover where and how they are used differently throughout Scripture.. But the 'object' is to keep it a bit 'spontaneous' and different every single day! Where do I find time for it? I make time. I watch very little TV, and I try to do it all before I get on the internet, and come to this Forum. I read Tozer and Oswald when I get up in the morning to set the tone of the day early, then I read my Daily Manna Bible verse while at work, and read "Our Daily Bread" during Lunch. Then, when I get home at night, I settle in for the "real" meal of the day, and read my specified verses of the day, reading through the Bible in a year's time. Today, I read the entire book of Habakkuk. Tomorrow, it will be Zephaniah, and then Haggai. Coming up soon is the New Testament again! :-) Today's Daily topic for me (10/08/2003) was on Psalm 78:4; 79:13; 102:18; 145:4; and 146:10. :-) I "find" my topics through the various sources above, sometimes I hear something or read a verse at church that I would like to "investigate", or hear something from a fellow Christian brother or sister.. :-) Blessings to you, Makarios |

Nolan, Even if I didn't have 2 kids and a home biz, I'd still not go at it the way you do. The stuff you pump out here is always great to read. I'm reading the Psalms right now, mostly in the KJV, but I cruise to the NASB and ESV for comparatives. The KJV is peerless in the Psalms, but the grittiness, the awkward literalness of the NASB is often just what the doctor ordered. The ESV has a pithy, crystalline quality, a new-car feel that is great (it's superior in the Song of Songs), but gimme that old-time KJV religion, know what I mean? What version do you lean to in the Psalms, or do you stay "spontaneous" here too? Thanks for the tips, by the way. Colin |

Greetings Colin, You're welcome! In the Psalms, there is only one choice: the KJV. The NIV is also good and "flowing" as an alternate in the Psalms, but the KJV reigns supreme in regards to true poetry. No, I do not remain "spontaneous" in jumping from Bible version to Bible version. I enjoy them all, to one extent or another.. I tease myself from time to time with the idea of coming up with my "own" English translation! :-) Nolan |
