My name is Leiann Walther, and I started Strong Hands Enterprises in 2012 to help people know God's Word better. Whether you know nothing and want some basic Bible content, or have studied for years and want to see new connections, my desire is to give you the tools you need to learn and teach God's Word. Over my forty years as a Bible teacher, I've seen all ages grow in their understanding of God's Word when it is taught in a clear way. I've seen Bible teachers learn the steps to put their Bible knowledge into a concise and creative plan to teach others. I've written and helped create Bible curriculum for VBS, Sunday School, and school classrooms. My greatest desire is that as you understand God's Word, you would come into a loving and obedient relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ. "They were all trying to frighten us, thinking, 'Their hands will get too weak for the work, and it will not be completed.' But I prayed, 'Now strengthen my hands.'" Nehemiah 6:9
What does the crusades have to do with the bible....... nothing that's what. The. Crusades was a retaliation to over 500 years of Islamic terrorism of the Christian world.
Wow! It’s Feb. 12, 2024. (2-12-24, 2 x 12 = 24)-3 years after the video was published. I am blown away by this simple color-coding system. Your video was short, sweet and to the point with helpful graphics. I’m grateful to God that I found this video! Thanks for sharing! 😊
As a new believer I watch many videos on how to highlight the Bible. There are many ways, all good, but THIS one is the one that makes the most sense to me and I find it highly helpful. Thank you very much!
As future king david was decades alone, you-- can remember that heaven may enjoy time with you in that lonely time each of us experiences. Thanks for your time on this topic.
Good work! You were concise, to the point, succinct and ended with a question for we listeners to look at our own spiritual condition. Continue teaching.
Appreciate your encouraging feedback. Glad you found it useful. You might like the others in the David series, especially David and Goliath. It’s helpful to see it in its bigger context. Blessings!
I'm so glad you found them useful to your personal Bible study research! It's helps me when I can see the "big picture" and I'm happy when others can see it, too. Blessings!
The Prisma color premier soft colored pencils are ThE BEST for marking in your Scriptures!!! I have an extensive color coding system using over 25 colors. I even have a spreadsheet for tracking the colors and by doing 4 different things with one color, I increase the number of color references I can have. Example - with one color, you can choose to either underline, circle, solid color or put a block around a word. That is 4 category options. My Scripture is so easy to find passages and the colors help to retain what the passage is about.
Personally I have not. That could be because of the quality of the pages in the Bible I have or that I use the prismacolor pencils, so I won't say that it can't happen if someone has a different Bible or uses different pencils. You could also use an electronic Bible, and highlight with these colors...no smudges ever!
Proverbs is the easiest to use this method because there are 31 chapters and it is written in a poetry style. Psalms has 150 chapters and many people find it easy to read 5 chapters each day of the month. Here is a chart I use to see how long each book of the Bible takes to listen through. Many books are very short and easy to read or listen through in one sitting. Hope this helps! static.wixstatic.com/media/b2858e_394edb1b56d6435aaafa7d1a6c743460~mv2.png
I do something similar. Yellow is for Jesus and God's attributes, green is for interesting things, orange is for warfare, pink for promises, and blue for family.
Sounds like this wouldn't be the best method for you to use. Maybe you could modify it: use a notebook with the colors as headings at the top of the page. When you come across a verse that fits that color, you could write it down on that page. That way you don't mark in your Bible, but you can still use the colors to help you make important observations. I often use an electronic version that makes it easier to use the colors. Hope these alternate ideas help!
Once a large number of passages have been marked the white parts become more important. I prefer to mark the words Jesus in red. I will need to pick another color for stop.
i absolutely hate seeing the Holy Bible being defaced & scribbled on, as if it where just a school notebook or some cheap paperback novel! i regard my Bible as the most precious possession i own, and as a truely sacrid object, because it contains the word of God. in fact, if some anti-christian, or athiest demanded that i should let them tear up my Bible or they would shoot me i would say "shoot- make me a martyr!"
I appreciate your high regard for God's Word. Taking a marker or colored pencil for the purpose of scribbling and defacing the Bible would definitely be a misuse of this method. Since the end-goal is to understand and put God's Word in our hearts, this method is meant only as a tool to help someone think about what they are reading. I often use electronic versions, so being able to highlight in these colors electronically helps me find things later more quickly. If seeing markings distracts or distresses someone, another method would work better for them. Hope this helps!
@@StrongHands10 certainly, an online version would be best, for somone who needs to highlight , mark or colour code passages they are reading. but our lord is a forgiving God & i would hope that he would understand that those who did deface a real Bible, did not mean to offend him. may God bless & keepyou in his love, always.♥✝☮
Thanks for this! Very timely! I'm just waiting on a new Bible to arrive and now I have a great plan to mark it. I usually tend to go a bit overboard with colour and it just ends up looking messy with no rhyme nor reason to it. This will get me off to a great start!
