I came up with this technique back in the 1970's, but I wouldn't
want to claim that I "invented" it. I'm sure that many have
come up with similar methods, probably each independently of the others - and
all with a desire to better understand what God has told us in his Word.
This technique will not work for
everyone. Some people may benefit greatly from it; for others, it may
make absolutely no sense. Different people think and learn in different ways. Some are
more analytical in the way they think. Some think with "abstract"
thoughts or with a more visual (object-oriented) frame of
reference.
If you discover that you can benefit from this method, then thank God for it.
If not, then just try some other way of learning and applying God's Word
to your life. It's more important that you learn and apply God's Word, than that you
follow a certain technique!
Even if you don't like this study method, hopefully you will still
benefit from looking at these Scripture passages!

The Book of 3 JOHN - A Study on Love, Truth and Actions |
The purpose for this group of studies is to teach how "diagramming" works.
Included is a translation of 3 John (already diagrammed), a short overview or introduction to
the outline, and a more in-depth (verse-by-verse) evaluation of the diagram.
This is my own translation of 3 John (because of copyright issues
related to copying an entire book of the Bible). |

differences in the way the two file types can be formatted. (There is no
difference in content.) |

A "Flow-of-Thought" Diagram of
Paul's Prayer in Colossians 1:3-13 |
This is an attempt to chart the "flow of thought" through
one of Paul's prayers. You can use it as a guide, or
"starting point" for your own studies of this passage.

Jesus tells us...
You search the Scriptures [Alternate interpretation - a command: Search the Scriptures!],
... these are they which testify about me. (John 5:39)
