March Madness is here! Is there anything more discouraging than watching your brackets get totally busted up by the end of the first weekend? Yeah, I guess there are several things in life that are more discouraging, but I don’t know why I punish myself in this way every year instead of just enjoying the games.
Here’s a little inspiration for you. In case your team is down by like…let’s say…15 points with only about…mmmm…4 minutes left, don’t give up:
The primary Bible version I use for preaching, teaching, and studying is the English Standard Version (ESV).
For Bible study (listed in chronological order of publication):
King James Version (KJV)
New American Standard (NASB)
New King James Version (NKJV)
The NET Bible (NET)
English Standard Version (ESV)
A good translation to use for extended reading sessions:
New International Version (NIV84)
For a Bible that is a good compromise between literal and readable:
Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
For young children:
New Century Version (NCV)
New Living Translation (NLT)
New International Readers Version (NIrV)
Verse:
John 3:16; Jn 3:16; John 3
Keyword:
Salvation, Jesus, Gospel
With Operators:
AND, OR, NOT, “ â€
