Maybe the best bible tool ever?

I am amazed at the usefulness and depth of the new ESV Study Bible. Justin Taylor, who spent six years at Bethlehem being John Piper’s assistant spent the past fwe years putting this great tool together. I would highly recommend this tool for your personal bible study.

“The ESV is a dream come true for me. The rightful heir to a great line of historic translations, it provides the continuity and modern accuracy I longed for. Now the scope and theological faithfulness of the ESV Study Bible study notes is breathtaking. Oh how precious is the written Word of God.”
John Piper, Pastor for Preaching and Vision, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, MN
“The ESV Study Bible is the most important resource that has been given to the emerging generation of Bible students and teachers. The ESV Study Bible is the best. Period.”
Mark Driscoll, Preaching Pastor, Mars Hill Church, Seattle, WA; President, Acts 29 Church Planting Network
“The definitive clarity and beauty of the ESV Study Bible is extraordinary. In a world where words are distorted to mean anything, it is wonderful to have complete confidence in the reliability and truth of the Bible—so clearly and persuasively demonstrated by this world-class team of Bible scholars and teachers. For everyone who wants to understand God’s Word in a deeper way, the ESV Study Bible is an outstanding resource. I will be an avid user!”

Best day of your Life – U of M Retreat

“The Greatest Day of Your Life.” This was an evangelistic retreat for students from the U of M and surrounding schools (Normandale, St. Thomas, MCTC).

The day began at 9am with a digital scavenger hunt around the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The students were split into teams of 4-6 and given a list of things to photograph. They arrived at Afton State Park at noon where lunch was served among the beautiful Autumn colors of the park. Immediately following lunch, Ken Currie (Director of Campus Outreach) gave an evangelistic talk about what it means to be a Christian and trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

So, after a year of being away from the University of Minnesota Recreation Department, I’m back. Racquetball is back.

I’m finding a few guys who really enjoy Racquetball. Please pray with me that their hearts would be opened!
