When Jesus … getting in the word

“When Jesus speaks, life happens … is their deadness in your soul? Feed yourself with life giving word”

Peter says, Lord to whom shall we go, you have the words of eternal life. When we hear you, life happens … forever . Nobody else has these words like that!
-John Piper

I’ve been encourage by so many people throughout college to get in the Word. So often my problem lies here. I’m down, I’m in a fight, something is not going the way it should. I go and seek help. Usually the first question after listening to me is, “Nick, how has your time in the word been lately?” Oftenn, when im satuarated in the word, im often up. When I’m down, I’m usually not in the word.

Start off 2009 by developing a plan, getting someone to keep you accountable and feasting on more Jesus in your life!

Endoresements:

“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!”
