Evernote<\/a> is a service on Internet that can be of great help to any pastor, preacher, teacher of the Word of God or youth leader. But before I present and recommend it to you, I want to quote the testimony of the great evangelist Dwight L. Moody<\/a> about how he prepared his sermons:<\/p>\n

When I choose a subject, I write the name of it on the outside of a large envelope. I have many such envelopes. If, when I am reading, I meet a good thing on any subject I am to speak on, I slip it into the right envelope, and let it lie there. I always carry a notebook, and if I hear anything in a sermon that will throw light on that subject, I put it down, and slip it into the envelope. Perhaps I let it lie there for a year or more. When I want a new sermon, I take everything that has been accumulating. Between what I find there and the results of my own study, I have material enough. Then, all the time I am going over my sermons, taking out a little here, adding a little there. In that way they never get old.

What is your method of preparing a sermon<\/a> or a Bible lesson you are going to teach? Whatever it is, it must involve the collection of ideas, information and their organization for the subsequent use in the messages. I used notebooks and copybooks but the disadvantage is that I can not always carry with me these notebooks, and because a large part of my ministry I do away from home and country, I can not carry with me all my notes to always have them when I need them. But even when I am at home, still I do not always have enough time to look through my many notebooks to find notes that I made once on a particular subject.<\/p>\n

I have heard earlier about the existence of such an option on the Internet, but I did not hurry to invest more in its exploration, even if I opened an account then. But these days, I got into a situation when I lost some valuable information and this has complicated my work and making decision at the moment. I decided to study more about Evernote, <\/strong>the service which\u00a0<\/strong>I have mentioned above and I found that it offers the following advantages:<\/p>\n
