Buy the vocab CD. It is worth its weight in gold. It may not match your vocab list, but it will help you in the long run.<BR/>2. Tackle only a few words at a time. Don't work on twenty-eleven words at once. Group them in threes. <BR/>3. Get someone else to help you learn them. It's fun.<BR/>4. Make up funny sentences that help explain the word. <BR/>5. Find verses that have the word. Memorize the verse and think of the word.<BR/>6. Write out the word with the vowel pointings.<BR/>7. Do word studies on the words.<BR/>8. Make your own index cards. Don't buy the big box: too many.<BR/>9. Learn one word at a time. <BR/>10. Understand how you will be tested. One prof used multiple choice; another prof used matching; one used fill-in-the-blanks; and another dictated the word.<BR/>11. FOCUS ON LEARNING THE SOUND NOT JUST THE SIGHT.<BR/>12. Never quit.<BR/>Your cousin's husband, Rudymichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13171754692497450874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922391391723479936.post-22836854914282208942008-08-04T10:14:00.000-04:002008-08-04T10:14:00.000-04:00I've read this book too.

Other good reads are the biography of J. Gresham Machen. He was fighting a battle of relativism, error, and compromise. He stood alone for the most part. His words said over 70 years ago ring true. He was the founder of Westminster Seminary and a leader in the Presbyterian USA, until he felt compelled to leave. He started the Presbyterian Church in America. Just look where the PCUSA is today. History is a good teacher. Also, check out the Downgrade Controversy and the issues surrounding Martyn Lloyd-Jones in the sixties. All taking place today began many years ago and continues to this day. It is why Paul wrote the Corinthians and warned them and told them to remember,"Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did.....Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come"(I Cor. 10:6,11). May the Lord grant us eyes to see, hears to hear, and hearts to learn and a steadfastness in the truth, lest we fall into the same deceptions. Apart from Christ we cannot do it. We need His grace. Thanks for a good reminder, Courtney!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
