@revbkaylor @kevinwatson thank y'all for good input! I fear I'm a bit wishy washy. In the last two days I've read several chapters outloud from the ESV and it doesn't "sound right" likely because my bible of 10 years is a TNIV. (1/2)

I've had (over a year) of paralysis in what version to pick because I want to make a practice of memorization and feel I should stick with one version once I do. (2/2)

@revbkaylor I did see your bible is only one inch thick. That's one thing I've definitely looked for, but I'm not fond of the red letters. Have you found that distracting at all? I imagine you may not notice after years, but I've not used a red letter bible since high school.

What if we woke up every morning and drowsily checked our Bibles instead of our phones?

I don’t know how anyone who descends from immigrants,
I don’t know how anyone who claims to be Christian,
I don’t know how anyone who claims to be pro-Life,
I don’t know how anyone who is a parent,
I don’t know how anyone with a heart,
Can defend denying soap & blankets to kids.
Perhaps the question should not be: "Why are others persecuted?"
Perhaps the better question is: "Why are we not?"

Persecution results from obedience.

Today at #msac19, @wesleyancov has 30 complimentary copies left of Scripture & the Life of God by @utsdoc ...plus a free online study of the book with the author.
Stop by this afternoon in front lobby & pick up a copy.
Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults; whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.
Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you; rebuke the wise and they will love you still.

Solomon says #dontfeedthetrolls
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

Joseph Pieper seems to have nailed what social media would become 30 years before it got on its feet.
Read less (junk), slow down, and listen for what is true.

Aldersgate Day--change and warm our hearts, O God. Give us assurance of salvation and evidence of the ongoing work of sanctification. May we be more like Jesus tonight when we go to bed than we were when we woke up this morning.
