Hello all,

My name is Chris, and I'm a PB lurker, usually. I am a senior student at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary and a Reformed Baptist. I'm currently a Pastoral Intern at Grace Baptist Church in Taylors, SC where I am helping with a church-planting opportunity near Asheville, NC. I am also a candidate for ministry in Canada.

My purpose for "de-cloaking" from my usual lurker status is really to issue a request for information. My church back home in Canada is looking to obtain some Trinity (Red - 1990 revised) hymnals. Since they are a small church with limited resources, I'm trying to find avenues for gently-used second-hand or lower priced TH's if possible. If anyone knows of such a source, please PM me. I'm also looking for a source for cheap ESV Pew Bibles.

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide. And thank you all, I enjoy reading the posts here.

In His grace,
Chris.

"There never was a man in the world without a creed. What is a creed? A creed is what you believe. What is a confession? It is a declaration of what you believe. That declaration may be oral or it may be committed to writing, but the creed is there either expressed or implied."—B.H. Carroll

When heresy rises in an evangelical body, it is never frank and open. It always begins by skulking, and assuming a disguise. Its advocates, when together, boast of great improvements, and congratulate one another on having gone greatly beyond the ‘old dead orthodoxy,’ and on having left behind many of its antiquated errors: but when taxed with deviations from the received faith, they complain of the unreasonableness of their accusers, as they ‘differ from it only in words.’ This has been the standing course of errorists ever since the apostolic age. Samuel Miller, Introductory essay, The Articles of the Synod of Dort (1841).

Thanks for the welcome.

Ideally, I'm looking for 60 of each (present and near future needs) - but anything above 30 would probably suffice with sharing. We typically have averaged between 30-50 for morning worship.

I should have mentioned, we are looking for the hardcover pew versions of the ESV's. Preferrably with the same pagination (to make it easier to orient non-Christians to the Scriptures).
Thanks

Hi Chris, welcome to the Board. I was standing behind you when you 'de-cloaked'. Gave me quite a start.

I sure wish I could help with the books. Let's keep bumping this need to we find something. Blessings sir.

Yes, that's the one. Thanks Pilgrim. Haven't quite figured out the "thank" option here.

I appreciate the welcome and feedback everyone. Thank you again.

Welcome and Blessings, Chris. I like your church's website.

This may explain the old adage about Baptists being Methodists with shoes, and Presbyterians being Baptists who can read. To round out the adage, Lutherans might qualify as Presbyterians who drink to excess, and Episcopalians as Lutherans who know when to say when. - D.G. Hart

Welcome!

I don't know what is considered cheap, but this looked affordable: Everything Your Church Needs to Know About Switching to the ESV

Chris,

Welcome! Don't be a lurker!

Wow! That's great - that's half the price I was looking at. Thank you.
