There are a handful of blogs I have been reading to help me evaluate the TNIV and ESV. After listening to an old debate on the TNIV, I wrote some more as a response on one site. Here are my thoughts: I have been drawn to these blogs consistently because I am trying to decide as a pastor if I…

I received this from my good friend Kevin Senapatiratne. We meet once a month with two other pastors and he recently wrote about the “spirituality” of meeting for burritos. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did: The Spirituality of a Burrito Is there really any spirituality in a burrito? I would like to think so. I have…

In January, 2007 my parents, Charles and Ruth Thompson celebrated 50 years of marriage. I included a picture of all their grandkids. They have been godly examples in every aspect of life and we are so thankful for their love. Happy Anniversary! (Sorry it took so long to post these pictures!)

That verse in the ESV struck me: He saw and he knew. (It…

The blessings of God surprise me from time to time. I am grateful, but somehow surprised. He always comes through. It’s my lack of faith that keeps on shocking me. I have wanted to take a trip to Brooklyn Tabernacle to be a part of their Tuesday night prayer meeting. A group from our district is partnering with a church…

Thoughts on HCSB
Somewhere in this mix of possible Bible translations comes the Holman Christian Study Bible. As far as I can tell, it’s more readable than ESV, but in many ways more accurate than the TNIV. One interesting point is it if the first brand new translation in decades. The ESV is building off of the Revised Standard Version. The TNIV, of…

Yet more grist for the mill of translations. Derek Vreeland has a blog detailing why he is now using the ESV for preaching, and links to Mark Driscoll of the prominent Mars Hill Church in Seattle. Driscoll has a VERY detailed message on why the ESV has become their main text. I am still scrolling through examining churches who have…
