I am on a journey to see how God will use me in this messy thing called the "Church." While on that journey I have just recently moved to a new role as a Sr. Pastor. Not real sure what that means really, but God is moving and I will follow the wave as it goes.

It appears to be a lot of conversation on twitter these days about what version of the Bible you are using.  Personally I have been going down this road for several months now and trying to figure out if I want to make a change.  I have gone between the ESV and the HCSB like crazy trying to figure out which I prefer best.

I was in this conversation recently with a couple of friends on twitter and Ed Stetzer shared his thoughts with us.  Here is the article that he suggested as we try to make our decisions.  It is very informative and a great way to break down the differences.

    I took a look at Philippians 2:5-11, commonly referred to as the Kenosis (“to empty”) passage and noticed a couple of things:

    1)In verse 5, the Holman leaves out the component of our relationships with one another.  I think that misses the whole point of the passage.
    2)In verse 7, Holman uses the word “emptied” instead of “made himself nothing.”  It may be a matter of semantics, but I think I like the Holman here.
