Journey of the Word

A few odds-n-ends to spice up your already delightful October.

First, a song to sing.
{And by that, I mean you can sing it.}

Part of an upcoming album by Scott Cornish.
With lead vocals by a college friend, Isaac Frasure.

Makes this musician happy because it’s in 12/8 {educated guess}.

Text adapted from Psalm 145.
{Look it up and follow along.}

Last, one of my favorite online Bible study tools . . .

If you’re new to basic Bible study methods
{and even if you’re not},
this site is for you.

Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1} Click “Study” in the top menu.
2} Select “Concordances,” then “Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance.”
3} At the top, change “References” to “The Bible.”
4} Enter the verse you’re studying.
5} Click the “Settings” button and make sure “Strongs Numbers” is checked.
6} Select any word in your verse.

Now you can see a couple of helpful things:
1} The word in its original language.
2} How many different English words are used for that same original Greek/Hebrew word.
3} The other passages of Scripture which use that same original word.
{Reminder: Any “definitions” listed are the work of scholars based on their own study of Scripture.
I encourage you to define a given word based on the text itself!}

May seem a bit complicated,
but I’ve actually found it to be a quick and easy way
to examine a particular word that has me stumped.

So, I highly recommend it to you!

And, of course, there’s much more on this site, but . . .

If Greek and Hebrew scare you to death,
and you’re looking for a way to better understand Bible terminology?

Give it a try!
