The World's Best Bible Translation
| 12 comments
Which is the best Bible translation of all time? Is it the KJV? The NIV? The ESV? The NRSV? The CEV? The HCSB? The NAB? The MSG? The NLT? Or is it my lunchtime favorite, the BLT?

February is "Bible Bail-Out Month." By my calculation it's the time when most people bail out on their New Year's Bible reading resolution...and I know why.

I'm baffled by Christians who spend so much energy complaining that the Bible is being pushed out of the public square. Why? Because it isn't true. Oh sure, there are plenty of people in our pluralistic society who don't obey God's Word, even some who publicly disrespect it. But that's a different issue, one that's been with us since the Garden of Eden.

You want to know why pastors have trouble motivating their people to read God’s Word? It’s not for lack of Bibles. We have plenty of them. And it’s not for lack of good preaching. Most pastors regularly emphasize the importance of the Word.

What’s the best way to read the Bible? Many people think it’s something like getting up real early every day and intensely reading the entire Bible every year. And if you can’t pull that off, well…you’re a spiritual weakling and you better stick with Our Daily Bread.

In his book, Invitation to a Journey, author M. Robert Mulholland Jr. refers to “creation gifts”, that is, the unique mix of personality traits given to us by God. His point is that understanding how we’ve been created helps us become more conformed to the image of Christ for the sake of others.
I think the concept also applies to our devotional lives. We will get more out of our times of Bible reading and prayer, and become more effective at applying God's Word, if we understand the unique devotional personality God has given each of us. Here are a few I’ve discovered:

What would happen if the US Government passed a law banning the sale of Bibles? I know. Christians would scream bloody murder. Churches would be packed and start mobilizing. Millions and millions of believers, and a lot of non-believers too, would begin reading God’s Word as a form of protest. Take that! To the chagrin of the secular powers that be, it would ignite an underground Bible reading revival!

Recently I received a Bible Catalog in the mail from Christian Book Distributors. And let me say right up front, I buy from CBD. I enjoy browsing through their books and Bibles.
