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…
Get A Bible…Or Two..Or Three…Or Four….In Multiple Translations!
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…
Uzzah’s Error?

Severed From Christ
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…
LSB Inside Column Reference Review
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…
Why The Legacy Standard Bible
“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…
John MacArthur Study Bible on John 7:53–8:11
“And everyone went to his own house.But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they…
