A question came up after church on Wednesday night a few weeks ago, and it had to do with the Legacy Standard Bible that we are using in our studies in Genesis. I love the LSB but I come from a very strict KJVO background and as I was unable to answer the question because…

Punctuation and Your Bible
I love punctuation. You should too. Everyone should love punctuation. It clarifies what is written and may even save lives. For instance, the following sentence has the same words but much different meanings and very different consequences: Let’s eat kids! Let’s eat, kids! One comma makes all the difference in the world! I love punctuation…
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
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…
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,…
LSB Handy Size Red Letter Review
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…
