Is that all there is?

“Is that all there is? Is that all there is, my friends? Then let’s keep dancing! Let’s break out the booze, and have a ball … if that’s all there is.” (Song written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller in the 1960s, recorded by Peggy Lee in 1969) These lyrics have started to go through [...]

Where Have All The NRSVs Gone?

– a lament. It wasn’t too many years ago that I would have wished all the NRSVs would just go away. I had very little appreciation for the translation. To my mind it was a liberal translation made by unbelievers, and had little right to exist. Of course, my mind has changed since then. I [...]

NKJV – a step backward?

I wrote a post some time ago about my struggle with the NKJV. I mentioned the archaic language and the lesser manuscripts that were used. In the end I set the NKJV aside and went back to my NASB and the new NIV. Yet the NKJV continued to gnaw at me. I kept cross-checking in [...]

Guess what! … New theme again!

I know it hasn’t been long at all since I changed themes. But I’ve been working on my theme on my baseball blog the last couple days, and so I was in a state of mind to look at the themes here on this blog too. I haven’t been happy with the light gray text [...]

…the ESV?

In my personal reading/study, right now I’m working my way through the letters of James, Peter, John, and Jude. I figured it would be a good way to continue to familiarize myself with the “new” NIV. I’ve been trying to spend a lot of time with that lately, in order to evaluate it. I know, [...]

In my own personal Bible study I just finished the Gospel of Luke. As so often happens, I started off reading in one translation, but pretty soon I find myself reading in other translations, and often cross-checking between them. In this case, I started in the new NIV, but soon was reading a lot in

Expectation

…or, “So what do you expect?” “You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” (Luke 12:40 NIV) I don’t like to take verses out of context. You … Continue reading →

What am I doing here?

You’re probably asking. Well, if there’s one thing that bothers me about WordPress, it’s that you can’t control the size and darkness of your blog text. You pretty much have to take what comes with the theme, unless you’re much … Continue reading →

Reconsidering my Bible Preferences

I do it all the time. I have to say though, that even though it didn’t make it into my Bible Preference page, I really did take a long, hard look at the NKJV. There are some readings there that just take me back to my childhood years; they are so much the way I [...]
