Ever sat and listened to a speaker and taken notes, only to misplace them?

Have you ever been part of a smaller group, or master group, where you are reading/studying something together and are looking for a place to keep your notes? Have you ever been doing your own bible study and have notes all over the place?

 

I used to have so many little pieces of paper shoved in my bible from insights I picked up from various locations. Then they would fall out and everything would be completely disorganized. I have found that Evernote can help with all this.

In 2013, I decided to do a personal trail run with a software called Evernote . Evernote is a free note-taking software and for most people all you will need is the free version. They do offer an upgrade that is not too much, which I upgraded to about a year after my trail run, but it is not necessary for everyone. Evernote works on multiple devices and you can sync your notes across each device.

 

There are many uses for Evernote, one great perk being note-taking for bible studies, or notes when listening to a sermon.

 

Here are four ways Evernote can help you take your bible study to the next level.

1. One place

You can keep all of those thoughts and notes together. For a long time I had so many little notes jammed in my bible that they would fall out and I would lose them. Evernote lets me keep my notes in one place.

 

2. Organized

You can create several different notebooks in what they call “stacks”. This lets you have notebooks inside notebooks. The advantage of this is you could have a stack notebook called “sermons”. Then in there, you could have a notebook called “2016 sermons”. Then inside of that notebook, you create notes. Then on Sunday, or whenever you are listening to a sermon, you open this up and create a note in the notebook for that day. You tag and give it a title and it is there for you. You could even create a notebook stack called “bible study” and in there have notebooks for each book of the bible or even themes.

 

3. Recall

Let’s say you are talking with someone or studying and want to recall some information. You can search for words and find your notes. Evernote has a tagging feature that makes searching even easier. I strongly suggest using descriptive tags that will easily narrow down what you are looking for. Another help for the recall is good notebook organizing.

 

4. Mobile

This has become one of the greatest reasons why I love this program — I can use it on my phone wherever I am. Then when I am home, I can sync it on my wi-fi. I can then bring it up on my laptop and use my notes however I want.
