From Webster (2001): equilibrium: a state of balance between opposing forces or actions that is either static or dynamic In the spiritual realms, there are opposing forces: the Spirit and the flesh. We are always in equilibrium between the two forces until that day when God makes all things new, and the flesh will be gone forever, leaving only the Spirit to glorify Him forever. Amen

Nerdy and "Hearty" Bible Studies!
I'm studying 2 Corinthians again! We studied it in the Cole/Kaan Team. That was fun. I used my ESV bible on my PHONE! :) Yeah. I was all proud of myself because Mitch had just switched Summitview over to ESV.
ESV makes me feel like a nerd. In a good way. I enjoy seeing concepts come together. That's why I like being an HDFS major. Because SO MANY DEVELOPMENTAL and SOCIOLOGICAL concepts overlap and it's AWESOME.....
ahem.... Anyway....
One thing I have a bad habit of is nerding out in Bible studies and completely forgetting it's about God and I talking about life as well as theology. Actually, more accurately, Bible study is God and a Christian's relationship deepening as the Christian comes to understand theological concepts which really mean that the Christian understands God more.
I wasn't purely nerdy in the Cole-Kaan Team. Ok... I was a NERD, but I still shared my feelings which was good :)
I think going to the NLT will break me out of just being a nerd and actually getting my emotions or 'heart' engaged in my Quiet Times. My brain and heart will work together to understand God better! :) Woot!
I have found the NLT very helpful for un-nerding myself, when I really need to see a passage hit my heart rather than my head. Still love the ESV, though. Sorry about the conflict on the thread on Facebook. :(
