I was not sure about the Portable Paragraph Reference (PPR) when it first was announced, and to be honest I accidentally pre-ordered it. But I have no regrets at all. In fact, this little Bible is one of my favorites for reading and carrying with me on trips. Here’s what happened. In May this year,…
“Now it happened that they were burying a man, and behold, they saw a marauding band; and they cast the man into the grave of Elisha. And when the man touched the bones of Elisha he became alive and stood up on his feet.” (2 Kings 13:21, LSB) Not long ago I was reading in…
In many KJVO churches you will hear the claim that through God’s power and providence He has preserved His word in the English language in the Authorized Version, also known as the King James Version, and it is therefore their final authority. In many of those churches they will have signs with the words “KJV…
As most everyone knows by now, I am not King James Only. However, that does not make me “Anti-KJV.” In fact, I have yet to meet someone who is. The KJV is a beautiful translation. I still use it for preaching sometimes, and often in my studies. It is the Bible Version I grew up…
I love my Logos Bible Study Software, and one of the features I use almost every day is a feature that doesn’t get much attention in other blogs and tutorials. This tool is the “Copy Bible Verses” tool. It is accessed two ways. One way is through the tools menu within the Logos Software as…
While the Legacy Standard Bible Inside Column Reference is my favorite and I already did a review of that one, second on the list is the LSB Handy Size Red Letter. At first, I wasn’t sure I was going to like this one very much because it does not have any of the footnotes or…
I often share screenshots of my Bible programs but last week while studying I had to take a picture of this. I had several open Bibles – KJV, NKJV, ESV, and my LSB – as I was digging into the text doing some sermon prep. I love my computer programs but there’s something great about…
I was reading from my Bible yesterday and came across 2 Samuel 6:7. In the King James Bible it reads like this: “And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.” Reading it in our understanding of…
Yesterday, I preached from Galatians 5:1-6 using the Legacy Standard Bible, and the title of my sermon was “Severed from Christ.” This comes from verse 4: “You have been severed from Christ, you who are being justified by law; you have fallen from grace!” (Galatians 5:4) Here’s something I did not bring out in my…
I purchased my copy of the Inside Column Reference (ICR) Legacy Standard Bible in October 2023, so after a year of daily use I feel like it is time to write a review about it. My personal copy is the Blue Cowhide edition and I got it with my name printed on the cover from…
