As most of my friends and my family knows, I am a fan of the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) translation and the Inside Column Reference (ICR) Bible is my favorite format. The ICR has become my primary preaching Bible, even though I own many other Bibles. Enter the Handy Size Inside Column Reference Red Letter….

Pastor John MacArthur: Gone But Not Forgotten
“I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and teaching. For the time will come when they…
Evangelism Lessons from the New Testament
Reading through the New Testament, we find some great practical lessons about evangelism in a corrupt society. As I was reading through it again this year, I decided to write some of these down. May God get the glory! First, Whether Jew or Greek – the message is the same. “For I am not ashamed…
The Necessity of Modern Translation
“For if the trumpet produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle? So also you, unless you utter by the tongue a word that is clear, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of sounds in the…
Yahweh Elohim, Yahweh God
In the KJV I grew up reading, Genesis 2:4 reads “These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,” (Genesis 2:4, KJV) And most English translations are very similar, following a very old tradition of translating…
Why The Name of Yahweh Matters

A Great Experience At Gullion’s Christian Bookstore
Christian bookstores have gone the way of the dinosaurs in many communities, so when I know of a good one that is still in existence I try my best to support them. In King, North Carolina there is one that I have known about for many years. It’s a family owned business known as Gullion’s…
MacArthur Study Bible (Thomas Nelson LSB)
In a very gracious offer that ended in November 2024, Grace To You sent out The LSB MacArthur Study Bible. It was hardcover, with a very nice dust jacket published by Thomas Nelson. I jumped on the offer, because I absolutely love the MacArthur Study Bible – I already had a physical copy in the…
Hebrews 11:6 – Diligently or Not?
Sometimes I over complicate things even with the tools and resources at my finger tips. This was true with Hebrews 11:6. In reading the text, I noticed a small difference between my KJV and LSB: KJV: But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he…
Roy Mason and T.P. Simmons
I call to witness two prominent Baptists to show that King James Onlyism as we know it today is a new doctrine invented by men. Roy Mason lived from 1894-1978 and he pastored the Brandenburg, Livermore, Sturgis, and Benton Baptist Churches in Kentucky as well as Baptist churches in New Mexico, Oklahoma and Florida. His book…
