Create as many cards as you used Scriptures (so, if you use OT/NT/Ps/Gospel, then you would create four cards and file them separately)<br /> b) Organize in a separate index card file box according to Scripture, so that when it comes to write a new sermon on that same Scripture, you can check to see what you've already said and where<br /><br /><br />I haven't actually tried this system yet [I should!], but like I said, several pastors I know swear by it.La Peregrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801672904884811424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050410978229175568.post-53092934088503820062009-08-18T06:47:55.365-07:002009-08-18T06:47:55.365-07:00I don't have a good way to organize sermon ill...I don't have a good way to organize sermon illustrations/ideas that I have already used, but I do like organizing potential sermon ideas on del.icio.us (www.delicious.com). I tag them with the scripture verse (example: Genesis1) as well as descriptive titles (e.g., creation wonder joy goodness NewYorkTimes). Then I don't lose track of that great sermon illustration that I am not preaching on right now but might in the future... <br /><br />I'm eager to see what other people suggest for their organizing systems!La Peregrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801672904884811424noreply@blogger.com
