Words wither and blogs fade away…
Forgive me if you’ve heard this song before, but I've decided to stop blogging at He is Sufficient. I truly appreciate all of the wit, wisdom and words of faith that you have shared with me over the past few years. I wish you well in all of your endeavors, whatever they may be and wherever they may lead you. “God is sufficient for the needs of His people”. Amen!

Is this the new face of the KJV?
I’ve never really paid much attention to the King James Version of the Bible, primarily because we didn’t have it in the house growing up and then later I was firmly attached to the NASB and considered the KJV an archaic translation. Especially with weird words like “shewn” and “dost” and the like. And frankly, [...]

DMHO update, Round 4
Well, hmmm… Denver and the Mile High Orchestra did what I hoped they wouldn’t. They took the judges’ comments last week too much to heart and came out with a very different style than the big band swing that was carrying them.
Instead they played a horn-driven funk arrangement of Ruby Baby by Jerry Leiber [...]

Weighing in on Bible paper
Jesus Saenz, a regular commenter at the Bible Design and Binding blog and proprietor of his own Soul DeSaenz blog, has written two articles lately on Bible paper weight that may be of interest to some:

The creative plurality of God in Genesis 1
In the aftermath of my ruminations on the nature of humankind vis-a-vis Genesis 1:27, John Hobbins kindly pointed me to an essay by David Clines, “Humanity as the Image of God“, in addition to his own thoughts on these verses [here and here].
Clines’ essay considers the context for the phrase “image of God”, both internally [...]

The difference between hymns and praise choruses
An old farmer went to the city one weekend and attended the big city church. He came home and his wife asked him how it was.
“Well,” said the farmer, “it was good. They did something different, however. They sang praise choruses instead of hymns.”
“Praise choruses?” said his wife. “What are those?”
“Oh, [...]
