Below is a video about the Reformation Study Bible:
"Furthermore, those who, having forsaken Scripture imagine some way or other of reaching God, ought to be thought of as not so much gripped with error as carried away with frenzy. For of late, certain giddy men have arisen who, with great haughtiness exalting the teaching office of the Spirit, despised all reading and laugh at the simplicity of those who, as they express it, still follow the dead and killing letter. But I should like to know from them what this spirit is by whose inspiration they are borne up so high that they dare despise the Scriptural doctrine as childish and mean. For they answer that it is the Spirit of Christ, such assurance is utterly ridiculous. Indeed, they will, I think, agree that the apostles of Christ and other believers of the primitive church were illuminated by no other Spirit. Yet no one of them thence learned contempt for God's Word; rather, each was imbued with greater reverence as their writings most splendidly attest."
- John Calvin: Institutes of the Christian Religion 1:9:1
Taking a trip to Florida to see my wife's family during the holidays is nice, but normally it's a real spiritual drain... I like seeing everybody, but it gets my schedule all messed up. I usually find myself unable (or too distracted) to faithfully keep up with my devotional reading and other spiritual things. I normally come back with my soul vexed and feeling like a big slacker.
This trip was much different. I think this past weekend was the most edifying trip we have ever taken to Florida. For starters, my mother-in-law gave all of us tickets to the Holy Land Experience in Orlando. It was great! Let me encourage you to go if you are ever in the Central Florida area. You won't regret it.
If you visit, I especially recommend touring the Scriptorium. I left the tour in tears. It was a very moving experience. The tour is 55 minutes long, but I wish I could have spent all day looking at all the ancient scrolls and Bibles. There are many things in the Scriptorium worth mentioning, but I was especially moved by an old Bible in which the pages are stained with the blood of an English Protestant martyr. Too often we take our English Bibles for granted, but English Protestants bled and died that we might have the Word in our own tongue -let us not forget!
church at St. Andrew's Chapel in Sanford, FL. It was during that church service that I got to sit under the preaching of -and actually got to meet- one of my theological heroes: R.C. Sproul! Though I am not a Presbyterian, I love Dr. Sproul's teaching on the Doctrines of Grace and on many other topics. The worship service was awe-inspiring.
