Want $50 of resources from Ligonier Ministries? Here's your chance.
Ligonier is led by R.C. Sproul and produces solid resources for thinking Christians. I've benefited greatly from books like The Holiness of God (I've also enjoyed the audio of The Holiness of God teaching series more than once), the audio for The Consequences of Ideas, and the great Reformation Study Bible (ESV). I want folks to check out these and other resources at Ligonier's website.
So I'm giving my readers a chance for $50 worth of resources at Ligonier. Here's how you enter...
STEP 1: Copy & share the following without the quote marks on Twitter (if you aren't on Twitter, use Facebook): "Win $50 for the @Ligonier Ministries Store. RT this & comment at Reformissionary to win: http://bit.ly/dFYZOc "
STEP 2: Leave a comment below (so I can verify you did step 1). Include your full name and real email address (kept private) so I can contact the winners. For fun, also add to your comment the percent chance that the Bears will win the Super Bowl. I'll say 70%. :)
Wednesday (15th) in the late afternoon/early evening I'll be choosing and contacting a winner.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to ME! :-)

Dear sir, I would ever like to win that contest. If you pick me then I will name my next dog after you. Seriously even if its a girl we will name it Steve.

I did it--and the chance that the Bears will win the Super Bowl is o%. Sorry.
Posted by: Matt Cannon | 12/14/2010 at 01:44 PM
I'd love to be considered in the contest. After Sunday's game against an actual SB contender, I give the Bears about 12.4% chance of getting out of the 1st round.

Done. Bears in the Super Bowl - 0.034% Merry Christmas Steve!
Posted by: Dan Buraga | 12/14/2010 at 01:58 PM
Done. The Bears? 10% chance at best!
Posted by: Dave Corlew | 12/14/2010 at 03:10 PM
As did I! Do my chances of winning increase if I say, "70%"?
Posted by: Ronnie Batchelor | 12/14/2010 at 03:13 PM
Ronnie, the ONLY people with a chance of winning must say higher than 70%. :)
Posted by: Steve McCoy | 12/14/2010 at 03:16 PM
I could so use this.
Posted by: Jon R. Hansen | 12/14/2010 at 03:17 PM
It hath been tweeted (my Twitter name is @honeylocusts).
Whatever the Bears' chances, it's at least 300% more likely than the Cubs winning the World Series in the next decade.
Posted by: John Gardner | 12/14/2010 at 03:19 PM
Hard to say on the Bears, I mean my gut says around 7%, but my brain says about .0082%.
Posted by: Andrew Kamm | 12/14/2010 at 03:45 PM
Message tweeted, and Bears' chances are at 27.375 %.
Posted by: Phil Simpson | 12/14/2010 at 03:59 PM
Hmm....message tweeted. chance of winning? 300.234%
Posted by: Maggie Grant | 12/14/2010 at 04:18 PM
I copied to Facebook. Bear's chances...0%, cause my Steelers are gonna win!
Posted by: Sharon Ross | 12/14/2010 at 04:28 PM
I copied to facebook. As for the Bears, sorry, it'd have to be about 2% since the Saints are going to repeat!
Posted by: Dan Hardesty | 12/14/2010 at 05:37 PM
Bears might steel it...then again the Steelers could bear to eke out a win.
Posted by: Peter | 12/14/2010 at 05:37 PM
I'm guessing you meant Win $50 from @Ligonier Store, or maybe it's a unique twist on fund raising :)
Posted by: Peter | 12/14/2010 at 05:45 PM
Maybe 1%
Posted by: Rob S | 12/14/2010 at 05:53 PM

Bears in the Super Bowl!? Uhm . . . if they were there they would have 80% chance of winning it, unless they were playing the Browns, then they would lose. (=
Posted by: Steve Hinkle | 12/14/2010 at 08:11 PM
Awesome!

Name: Michael Moore
I'm really excited for this!
Ligonier has a bunch of top notch resources I'd love to get my hands on.
I'm guessing around a 72% chance.
I just started getting into football so this may be off by a bit.
Don't know how to add my email since I'm logged in through Twitter.
I really would like to win this so here it is in non-traditional form so you can replace the info with the obvious: [email protected]

Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Posted by: Michael Dortch | 12/14/2010 at 10:22 PM
Bear's chances = probably greater than mine at winning this competition! Therefore if I win, then the Bears must win also!

Though I do not agree with most everyone on the Bears, it's nice to see my readers aren't willing to lie in order to get free stuff. :) Keep the entries coming!
Posted by: Steve McCoy | 12/15/2010 at 10:05 AM
I said higher than 70% and my name is STEVE!! (=
Posted by: Steve Hinkle | 12/15/2010 at 10:23 AM
Steve, don't think I didn't notice. :)
Posted by: Steve McCoy | 12/15/2010 at 10:24 AM
Who are the Bears? Up here in the Andes Mts. of Peru they do not exist. Now if you are talking about "futbol"
...
Posted by: Larry Rockwell | 12/15/2010 at 11:42 AM
Steve, just sent the tweet. My chance of knowing whether the Bears (or any other team, for that matter) are good or bad this year is 0%.
Posted by: Barry Wallace | 12/15/2010 at 01:54 PM
The bears,ah. Well I'll give them a 20% shot. But I'm from WI and from birth we follow another team.
Posted by: Mark Jicinsky | 12/15/2010 at 02:17 PM
Thanks for doing this Steve, and 15% but I haven't watched a game all season. I am a NE fan, kinda.
Posted by: Josh Cousineau | 12/15/2010 at 02:24 PM
Done. I'd love to win this, but the bears have 0% chance. Go Cowboys!
Posted by: Michael McFatridge | 12/15/2010 at 04:48 PM
Super gracious of you. Glad to have a shot.
Posted by: Jeremy W. | 12/15/2010 at 04:49 PM
And I'd say the Bears have a 6% shot...

Bears chances are 10%...0% if they have to play New England again in the Super Bowl
Posted by: Jason Gray | 12/15/2010 at 04:52 PM
I posted twitter. being a bears fan and a cubs fan I have grown in patience and a whole lot of rest in the Lord. I hopeful for the bears. That New England games was rough though. I still hold out hope.

Comments remain open, but entries are over. The winner is...
Posted by: Steve McCoy | 12/15/2010 at 05:10 PM
...Comment #31 - Mark Jicinsky. Proof that the contest wasn't biased, Mark is from Wisconsin (Green Bay). That's pretty much a guarantee the Bears will NOT win the Super Bowl. But congrats Mark!
Posted by: Steve McCoy | 12/15/2010 at 05:18 PM
Tweeted. 25% shared equally with the Pats, the Eagles, and the Falcons.
