• Good morning!☀️ How are online classes going during this worldwide pandemic?

    1. I lead a group of 4 in my home. I have prayed that the group would grow but it never has. I have had invitations printed professionally and have given them to may people but to no avail. Any suggestions.

      1. Hi Donna, Continue praying and leading these 4 in your home! Praise God that He brought you all together!! Have you asked your women's ministry leader or pastor if they would permit you to hold Precept class at the church and make it part of their regular offerings? That is what I am currently doing. Also, post your class on the Precept website. (Though I don't know how you feel about posting your home address on the website.... Maybe you could post the city at least and have them contact you for directions after they register.) Social media can be a useful too too. Many in our area study with BSF. That's great! But I believe Precept studies offer so much more. I will pray for you!

    2. Hi! I’m Audrey Cole, a Precept discussion leader in Burnsville, MN. Looking forward to leading my class through PUP study of Isaiah.

      1. God bless our group

        1. When people follow your group, it adds a card to the Logos 8 home page that is confusing Logos users. If we unfollow the group, it removes the card but I'd rather follow your group. Can you find a way to remove the card from appearing in Logos 8 when we follow your group?
          1. personally, I like the card

        2. Can someone point me to a good starting point about how to use the Precept Method with Logos Bible Software?

          2. What is inductive Bible study?

          3. Hello! I am a Precept Discussion Leader. I do use the inductive bible study method with Logos. Logos has been a huge learning curve for me. If you have the time, watch a lot of the basic instructions for Logos Bible Software on YouTube. Logos offers you a tutorial on how to do an inductive bible study with their software. With that said, what I do is create a notebook called “Observations for Genesis”. I can then create symbols from the highlight tool. (Or use theirs). Be sure to watch how to use the Notebook, Highlights, and Notes. I use Notes when I am linking other scripture that interprets another. I also use notes if I want to add a commentator’s opinion of a verse. It is best to do these things on your computer vs a notebook, or phone! Or you can also do it via their website. Hope this helps get you started in the right direction. Blessings!

          4. Inductive bible study is an investigative approach to Scripture in which you are taught to ask the 5 W’s and an H type of questions. It involves observing the text, interpreting and applying the text. We use color coding to make it easier to discover and answer these questions for ourselves.

        3. What would it look like for you to impact the next generation?  Unlock the door to a lifetime of discovering God's Word! Check out this special offer for the month of May!

          1. Our team just had a phenomenal weekend in Dallas and Boston, training students of all ages how to study the Bible inductively! Kay Arthur will be in Dallas this evening, speaking at Dallas Theological Seminary. Here are some details if you're interested in watching online - http://www.dts.edu/live/

            1. Hi I am Bert. I am looking for the orientation program for the Philippians Study. How do I find it. I twas supposed to start today.

              1. The study starts on Jan. 15. If you look at the left side of the main forum screen, you should see Precept upon Precept Philippians. When you click on that, it takes you to the forum for the study.
              2. Can click => https://faithlife.com/precept-philippians-study/activity followed by clicking "Follow" to join Faithlife group, which has a posting about David Arthur's father going home to God on 9 Jan so orientation has not yet been posted. Praying for the Arthur family.

              3. I have a hard copy printed off for Philippians. I will follow along marking my hard copy so I am still feeling a part of the Philippians group. I am not familiar with Logos markings but I am sure in time I will be. I am looking to lead studies in the 40 minute series and will do Philippians first as my PuP study. Look forward to being a part of the Philippians Logos study when I am more familiar with using Logos.

            2. what is the difference between following and being a member of the group? I've been doing Precept studies at church for 13 years and want to do this online one as well.

              1. Frank I would think following would mean you see what is being said here but are not part of the discussion. Being a member of this group allows you to post and share comments. It is like the difference between auditing a course and joining the class. In one case you are more of an observer while in the  other case you are an active participant. So if you want to be part of the discussion...membership would be the way to go here.  Anyone here have something to add?
