“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
I am doing beginning a series through Genesis using the LSB, and one of the things that really stuck out to me is the fact that in Genesis 1, we have “In the beginning God [Elohim] created the heavens and the earth….” But in chapter 2, we are introduced to Yahweh God. I had not…
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…
Legacy Standard Bible, Portable Paragraph Reference – Paste-Down Italian Cowhide
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,…
The KJV 1611 or 1769? They Aren’t The Same!
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…
My Favorite King James Bible
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…
