And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:35-40, ESV [Read more…] about Loving Our Neighbors Through Research (Scholar’s Compass)

Give to July Matching Grant: Scholar’s Compass goes to Lausanne

Scholar’s Compass is going to Lausanne! ESN isn’t headed to Switzerland, but it is headed to an upcoming Lausanne Movement Creation Care and the Gospel Conference in the US. The end of July conference will bring together evangelical leaders and scholars from the US and Canada. It’s a perfect time for ESN staff to grow in understanding of God’s creation, and a perfect time to share Scholar’s Compass with gathered evangelical leaders.

Handing a Scholar’s Compass booklet to a pastor or professor may make all the difference in whether someone explores this resource after the conference, or forgets about it in a sea of notes. For July only, we have a matching grant to double funds donated towards sharing Scholar’s Compass booklets with conferences such as Lausanne. Click on the link above to help support this effort.
