4 PASTORAL CARE | 4 CHAPEL SCHEDULE | 4 NEWS & EVENTS News, Events & Commentary By Rev. Robert Hoekstra, Chaplain Summer Sermon Series Each Summer we focus on a particular topic for our Summer Sermon Series. Last year we considered the Psalms that are part of our reading each Sunday and the sermons were based on these. Other years we have done a complete series based on a particular book or subject. This year, our Summer Sermon Series will take us to Paul’s letter to the Philippians. It is a short, four chapter letter on a variety of subjects. We will consider a portion of that letter each week. Start reading Philippians and join us for the series which begins on June 6 New Bible Study beginning June 8 Our Bible Study meets Tuesdays 3:30 pm in the Community Room of Chippewa Manor Residential Living. We have recently completed a year and a half journey through the Gospel of Mark. On June 8 we will begin a series on the letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians. Please bring a Bible. Which translation of the Bible should one use? This is a question I get quite often. I once heard someone say, “The best Bible translation is the one you actually read.” I, for the most part, agree with that. I have spent the past 35 years using various translations of the Bible for study and for personal enrichment. There are some I find wonderful to read and some I find quite disappointing in language usage. Below I list some that I have found to be fine translations. All of these are quite dependable and trustworthy for good Bible study.
English Standard Version New Living Translation New King James Version New American Standard Bible New Revised Standard Version Revised Standard Version New International Version King James Version Editions such as “The Message” or the older “Living Bible” are the work of an individuals who simply paraphrased the Bible. These are not particularly helpful in Bible study. Please keep in mind that an important part of Bible study is to discover what the text is truly saying and then making it apply to our lives. The translations listed above help us to do just that. “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” Colossians 3:16 (ESV) .
