A year ago this month I began a series of sermons in Galatians using the Legacy Standard Bible. That might not seem like much to write about to many people, but up to that point I had only preached from the King James Bible. I used to be a “King James Only” preacher and many…
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,…
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 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…

When I was growing up the King James Version was all I had and 1 Corinthians 16:13 really confused me. “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.” Sadly, the only sermon I remember ever hearing about it was during a Bible Conference and the preacher said “I never could…
“But you, continue in the things you learned and became convinced of, knowing from whom you learned them, and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for…

In Mark 12:15, the King James Bible reads, ”Bring me a penny…..” but it actually wasn’t a penny like we think of a penny.
