Navigators’ Topical Memory System

*

I just picked up The Navigators’ Scripture Memory Course from the Seeds Resource Center at SAFMC. How convenient — hundreds of books available for purchase are only a few steps away.

Wait.

How dangerous.

Anyway, I’m really pleased that they’ve included the ESV (English Standard Version) in this collection of scripture memory cards. Interestingly enough they also contain the MSG (I’m allergic), NRSV, NLT, as well as the regular host of NIV, NASB, NKJV, KJV. I dig the ESV and the reason I never went for the cards before is because it wasn’t an available translation.

Seems like a good thing to have knockin’ around in your mind — scripture, that is.

We’ll see how it all goes. Check out a similar version here

Book o’ the Day: Choosing to Preach by Kenton C. Anderson

First resonant thought from the book thus far (Page 23):

The problem with preachers is that they won’t let truth remain private. They insist on proclaiming their view of truth to others, and that is what people find so offensive. Some people see preaching as a kind of intellectual rudeness, a violation or rape of the mind and of the soul, beyond excuse. If you seek to persuade me of your view of truth, you are asking me to abandon my view of truth. You are telling me that my way is inadequate or improper, and it is hard not to take that personally. It feels like rejection.

True?
