This tip is given to help you hone your theWord skills.
Quick Finding a verse
SITUATION: Let’s say you are writing something within theWord (in a BookView Window). You want to insert a verse. Where is that verse that says you should worship only God? Well, you remember part of it, that it is in Matthew 4 in the temptation of Jesus in the desert, but you don’t remember exactly where it is.
SOLUTION: Because you know that theWord uses automatic versification, you can use this to your advantage to easily and quickly find the verse. I call this “Quick Finding a Verse”. (Note. I know the word versification does not exist formally, but for use in Bible Software, this is the process of making links to the Bible for verse references.)
Brown The Devil's Mission of Amusement 7 page article from 1889. Hollywood in the church and her ministries. Brown was a student of C.H Spurgeon.
Excerpts:
Different days demand their own special testimony. The watchman who would be faithful to his Lord and to the city of his God needs to carefully note the signs of the times and to emphasize his witness accordingly. Concerning the testimony needed now, there can be little if any doubt. An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, that is so gross, so brazen in its impudence, that the most shortsighted of spiritual men can hardly fail to notice it.... Amusement for the people is the leading article advertised by each... until the hideous fact has been proved up to the hilt, that "amusement" is ousting "the preaching of the Gospel" as the great attraction... The Concert is fast becoming as much a recognized part of church life as the Prayer Meeting; and it is already, in most places, far better attended.
"Providing recreation for the people" will soon be looked upon as a necessary part of Christian work, and as binding upon the Church of God, as though it were a Divine command, unless some strong voices are raised which will make themselves heard.
Read the 7-page article: Brown, The Devil's Mission of Amusement.
1. Type the first part of the reference, the Book and chapter. “Mat 4”. Hit space, and it is versified.
2. Move the cursor over the just made reference.
3. Now shift and move the cursor into the box, and slide the right bar down until you find the verse you want.
This way you can quickly find your exact verse reference. Of course, this presumes you know the right Book of the Bible and chapter, but even so, it is very quick.
