@BestBuySupport I bought two tvs for my church and we went to install them today and only one has a power cord. Online support at the website says unavailable/too busy. Help?

@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.

@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)

[John Wesley Leek @johnleek]

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)

@kevinwatson @RyanNDanker @mporeilly @utsdoc @TalbotDavis I thought I'd found a winner with this one, but recent reviews (on Amazon) said new bibles are being made at lower quality in China than the originals in the Netherlands. https://t.co/zUepHESpHL

@mporeilly A question that came to mind today. Is there a Bible translation that better captures holiness and perfection than most? #andcanitbe (cc @kevinwatson, @RyanNDanker, @utsdoc, @TalbotDavis )

[John Wesley Leek @johnleek]

@kevinwatson @RyanNDanker @mporeilly @utsdoc @TalbotDavis One year and a few months later I've come around to using the NLT and ESV together. I have an NLT. I'd love to have a quality ESV for study and memorization. Thinner is better. Any recommendation? My wife's gift to me this year. :D

You won't find me here, but if you'd like occasional life updates on me and the family https://t.co/qxQWeOojl1 is the place to go.

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

@RevLaneDavis Lindsey Wilson College had a program (I'm not sure if they still do) that got folks a bachelors where the third and fourth year were taken while serving in a support role in a local church. At least one of the instructors is a successful church planter. https://t.co/lLEo5V4xQb

@RevLaneDavis I wonder about bringing back the bachelor's of divinity and then having some additional ed while serving (at very low salary) at effective churches in sort of an apprenticeship.

Lord, make me more kind than clever.

@revbethanncook @PastorJAcevedo I love the puzzle piece. Did you make it yourself? Will the other five connect? :D

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.

@feljr Those are some overpriced socks. (Jk.)
