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…

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…
Logos Copy Bible Verses
I love my Logos Bible Study Software, and one of the features I use almost every day is a feature that doesn’t get much attention in other blogs and tutorials. This tool is the “Copy Bible Verses” tool. It is accessed two ways. One way is through the tools menu within the Logos Software as…
Uzzah’s Error?
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…
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…
Quit You…Like Men?
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…
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…
Revelation 16:5
One of these is different than the others…see if you can see what I am seeing. “And I herde the aungel ʽof watirs seiynge, Just art thou, Lord, that art, and that was holy, that demyst thes thinges;” (Wycliffe Bible, published 1382-1395) “And I hearde an auugell saye: Lorde which art and wast/thou art righteous and…
The KJV Translators To The Reader
The 1611 King James Bible was prefaced by two articles. One of them was “The Epistle Dedicatory” and the other was “The Translators to the Reader.” Sadly many KJV Bibles do not include either, and many who love and cherish the KJV have never read it. I am including “The Translators To The Reader” here,…
Justice in Acts 28:4
There is value in reading more than one translation of the Bible, whether it’s two different languages or two Bibles in the same language if you have that opportunity like we do in the English speaking world. As I have been preaching through Acts, I not only read the book multiple times in my King…
