Comments on: ESV Study Bible One Week Away http://www.worshipmatters.com/2008/10/esv-study-bible-almost-here/ Resources for Leading Worship from Bob Kauflin Tue, 06 Jan 2009 13:55:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Bret http://www.worshipmatters.com/2008/10/esv-study-bible-almost-here/comment-page-1/#comment-16911 Bret Sun, 12 Oct 2008 03:29:41 +0000 http://www.worshipmatters.com/?p=731#comment-16911 Suggestion: If everyone you know has a dozen bibles, maybe it would be a good idea to have a "Bible drive" at your church. Collect up everyone's unused copies, box them up, and ship them to one of the missionaries your church supports (or to a missions agency that can make good use of them). Our church has had similar book drives for our missionaries in recent years...

Totally agree that we can become dull to the privilege of owning even one Bible and think that a new Bible's cover or layout justifies buying just one more...But that doesn't deter my commitment to recommend biblical resources that will help us understand and appreciate God's word better so that we might be equipped and motivated to support the church, the needy, the hungry, the oppressed, and to spread the wonderful gospel of Christ. Floridagizzi,
