Word for Word vs. Thought for Thought
I stumbled on this website while looking for another "Mars Hill Church" in Michigan. Instead I found this Mars Hill Church in Seattle. I was surprised to see this large, apparently "edgy" church was moving their pulpit/teaching ministries away from the NIV to the ESV.
I thought the Pastor's explanation was well worth reading.
Speaking of translations, I've enjoyed perusing this comparison by Phil Brown as well.

Hey, are you a Rob Bell fan; are you talking about Mars Hill in Grand Rapids?? We've been going there for Lent season.
