ESV copyright notice and graphic

Last updated on: April 20, 2005 at 12:06 am By Adrian Warnock

I decided I would like to show my support for the ESV by including a copyright notice and graphic. If you would like to use the same notice, here is the code for it, simply copy and paste the following into your template somewhere- <p><a href=”http://adrianwarnock.com/2005/07/esv-bible-translation-for-eveyone.htm”><img width=70 align=right valign=bottom src=”http://adrianwarnock.com/esv.JPG”></a> <span lang=EN style=’font-size:6.7pt;mso-ansi-language:EN’><em>Unless otherwise indicated, all scripture quotations are from The Holy Bible, English Standard Version, copyright 2001 by Crossway Bibles, a division of Good News Publishers.

What does true preaching look like?

Last updated on: June 27, 2018 at 11:05 pm By Adrian Warnock

Blogging is great for keeping us sharp and surely The SHEEP’S CRIB is determined to help all of us think clearly about preaching. Anyone who can read a raft of preaching posts by yours truly with as much attention to detail as he clearly has is worthy of a much better response than I am going to give tonight, but I get the feeling we may interact a lot about this in the coming weeks and months. This whole subject... Read more

Last updated on: April 19, 2005 at 5:38 pm By Adrian Warnock

In amazing turn of events a prestigious blogging award has gone to an outsider who only began blogging TEN days ago! “Has Adrian lost his mind?” the blogosphere is asking tonight. “Did he have one in the first place?” the detractors may well ask. I can assure you that unlike certain election bloggers no money has chaned hands over tonights award (nor incidently over the recent ESV blogging– although I think I deserve more than a free bible for those...

Ps 30, More on Christian Joy and the Blogger Challenge

Last updated on: April 19, 2005 at 4:30 pm By Adrian Warnock

Well, the Blogging challenge is continuing to cause a steady trickle of interest. Previous entries can be found here and here. Today, one blogger asks “Can a Christian be TOO happy?” meanwhile an excited blogger (who is about to get even more excited I suspect) writes- The Christian world has become so severely man-centred that we can find it massively difficult to grasp a God who created us to glorify him, a God whose true reality is so unfathomably brilliant...

The kind folks at the ESV blog are wanting to give away a free bible to the first 100 bloggers who link to their new blog in their blogroll- act quickly if you want one! In the meantime, I thought it might be fun to play acronyms with the letters ESV (actually it was suggested by one of my readers) You may remember some funny acronyms for other versions for example the “Nearnly Infallible Version” or the “New Insipid Version”....

Eccl, Christian hedonism and some more challenge entries

Last updated on: April 18, 2005 at 6:26 am By Adrian Warnock

Following on from my thoughts yesterday about contentment and enjoying riches, this passage in Eccl really made me think- “Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his lot. Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and... Read more

Godly attitudes, humility, peace, contentment and the error of the "word of faith" or prosperity gospel

Last updated on: July 26, 2018 at 8:56 am By Adrian Warnock

At risk of causing offence to some, I have to say how relevant to today I find these words from the ESV Bible’s version of the McCheyne reading plan where today we read 1 Tim 6: “Teach and urge these things. If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy... Read more

Last updated on: April 16, 2005 at 10:19 pm By Adrian Warnock

The first few entries in the blogging challenge on Christian hedonism have come in. Rumours of prozac has taken an interesting slant, sharing the pain that he has felt encountering death. He seems to suggest that finding joy in the midst of suffering is sometimes a step too far. One of my favorite blogs is next up with a great post on how to find Christian happiness Meanwhile Joi cites Job but makes the point that too many christians reject... Read more

Happy blogiversary to me- this blog is 2 today!

Last updated on: April 15, 2005 at 11:14 pm By Adrian Warnock

Well, I suddenly realised that it is now two years since I began my blog wondering if anyone would ever read it, and mainly writing for myself and my family. It still amazes me that people read this thing. I feel much richer for the experience-I have learnt a lot, and yes I have made mistakes along the way. Blogging has taught me a lot- thank you everyone who has been a part of this journey with me. It has... Read more
