How to Use Notes

This is a guide in using fill in the blank notes, free notes, and what you can do with them.

First off, sometimes we will have fill in the blank options for you. These will look like this:

If you type something up there that is incorrect, the blue line will turn red, and give you the option to reveal the answer. You can do that or type the correct response and the line will turn green.

Secondly, you can type in whatever notes you want using the icon that looks like the one below this statement on the right.

Whatever you type on that, will stay in your own personal note!

Lastly, you can send yourself your note to your email to save. We recommend you doing this if you are using a browser window because it won’t be saved. However, if you find the notes through the “Message Notes” section on our app homepage, your notes will be saved there.

Trade Up: Don’t Settle - 4/7/24

What do we need to trade off so we can trade up?

Here is opportunity for those who at home may never find elbow room for their latent capacities, who may never find enough scope elsewhere for all the powers of their minds and souls. There are hundreds of Christian colleges men who expect to spend life practicing law, or in some trade for a livelihood, yet who have strength and talent enough to enter those unoccupied fields. There are young doctors who might gather around them in some new mission station thousands of those who suffer the horrors of heathenism and islam, and lift their burden of pain, but who now confine their efforts to some pent up utica where the healing art is subject to the law of competition and is measured too often merely in terms of a cash book and ledger. They are making a living, they might be making a life.
—Samuel Zwemer

What is the difference between making a living and making a life?

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”
—Ephesians 2:10, NLT

““Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal.

—Matthew 6:19–21, NLT

““Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!”
—Matthew 6:22–23, NLT

““No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.”
—Matthew 6:24, NLT

Prioritize your giving.

“On the first day of each week, you should each put aside a portion of the money you have earned. Don’t wait until I get there and then try to collect it all at once.”
—1 Corinthians 16:2, NLT

Generosity is the key to making a life rather than just making a living.

“You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.”
—2 Corinthians 8:9, NLT
