I have to agree with the other brother I just love the translation and Its faithfulness to the Greek and Hebrew text, but is more readable. I just cant put my finger on I know thats not the best answer but my Congregation love it as well.

I am always as to which bible people are using and what makes them decide on that bible. I know I have changed over the years I used to be strictly KJV now I use the HCSB (Holman Christian Standard Bible} I have loved it ever since I was sent a paperback New Testament version of it to check out in 2004. Now I actually have the HCSB Ministers edition.

I do when I go to a church as part of the Congregation. I also prefer my congregation caries theirs as well. But we put the scripture that s going to be part of the message in the bulletin. This helps so people can find the scriptures prior to the message.

I havent seen anyone doing the G-D thing but I can think of no reason why to do it!

Yes I have been in

Yes I have been in " waiting position" several times. I feel this way that as christian our live are a series ofHighs,Lows and Steady periods. God does so that we grow as christian, and in our Christian Muturity. I relate it as a long distance runner, on the down times we are running uphill. This in turn builds our leg strength and our endurance so that when we start on an open or flat plane we can do it and never miss a stride! and we can coast on the down hill times while still growing. Romans 8:28 We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose. God is always "Training us for the next long race! I hope I made some sence out of what I was saying!

I know this might be a surprise but Pastors/Ministers get down and need uplifting. HA! I always find comfort in The Lords Prayer! Rev.Rick Hill Jr. D.Div Senior Pastor/ Online Minister Serenity Through Hope Ministries "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15 Cajunboy:::: Why would you think that might be a surprise? Are you not human just as we are? I've not met one human in all my years of service to God "without sin!" I know we are all sinners what I was saying is that we are human and sin. The main poin was that we get woredown just like everyone else. I apologize If I sounded wrong.

I want you to know I have a great deal respect for you Brother. The decisions you made had to be difficult but worthy. If need anything or just want to chat with another Pastor/Minister my computer is always Home.

Thank you very much for this post!
