There are some truths that seem to have universal application. Take a moment and read this short article and reflect how this is true not only for a business consultant, but for us in the church.
The difference is - a business consultant is not dealing with eternal issues - the church is. Being right and being effective in the business world makes for job satisfaction and happier stockholders. Being right and being effective in the church denies hell a larger market share.

Bible versions...
Lately we have had several people ask about the translation that Pastor Ken is using in his messages.
For about the past year Pastor Ken has been using the Holman Christian Standard Bible. B&H Publishing (formerly Holman and Boardman) is the publishing arm of the Southern Baptist Convention. Several years ago they commissioned a new translation, and the HCSB version is the result. He likes the combination of easy readability, modern English usage, and adherence to the underlying Hebrew and Greek original texts.

The first Wednesday Night Connectiong Point...
was a big success. Over 100 adults and almost 40 kids were here. As always, the meal was suburb. I am convinced there is no BBQ anywhere, from anyone, better than what Chef Leroy serves us. The fellowship was great, and Pastor Ken's presentation was challenging and opened a lot of eyes. He provided some material to take home for further reading and reflection.
We will be doing it again next month. The first Wednesday falls on February 4, so mark your calendars and plan to be with us. We will have sign up sheets in the Welcome Center. If you are bringing kids ages 6th grade and younger, it is especially important you sign them up so Children's Ministry Director Amy Gieger can have adequate workers arranged for the kid's part of the evening. (It's not just childcare; they are doing a growth exercise of their own.)
We also suggest you bring your Bible with you. We will have Pastor Ken's primary scripture references on the screen, but having your Bible with you helps with the context of the references, and to look back to the reference passages during the discussion period.
