Hi,
Not only am I new here on this particular site, but I'm new to social media in general. I don't use 'Twitter', 'TikTok', 'Facebook' (or as I like to call it, 'Fakebook'), or any of those other online centres for abuse, vilification and trolling. Life is too short to waste being angry all the time, and being obsessed with 'social justice issues' (whatever they are) to me seems rather pointless, if only because in the grand scheme of things they just don't matter. We are here on this Earth for a rather short time, so we have to make the most of it while we're here in ways that will actually matter.
Anyway, let's see if this works. Here goes... :wave::oldthumbsup:

I consider myself an online evangelist. It is hard work and comes with a lot of insults thrown at you. But my hope is I can change someone's life out there for the better even if I never see the result of their salvation but that they get saved based on the seed I planted.

Ah, I see you use the ESV. That's my favourite translation too.

I love the ESV, but I am not tethered to it. In fact, even though I have a physical copy (as opposed to the digital stuff I have) of an ESV, but I just purchased a physical copy of a CSB Bible. I read the first few chapters of the Gospel of Mark last night for Bible study. I loved the simplicity of it.
