Puritan Board Freshman
I am curious about your thoughts on a subject that seems to be always looming in the back corners of my mind lately...
In the pulpit I bounce around from the NASB, NKJV, and the ESV. Since arriving at my new parish last month I have been getting to know the people and their thoughts on this thing and that.
One recurring theme of the direction that I believe the Lord is leading us as a church is to be a place where the Scriptures are elevated. By that I am speaking directly in opposition to what is occurring in many Congregational Churches ( UCC Coalition :: ONA Basics ).
We are an independent Congregational Church where the people are genuinely interested in faithfulness to traditional values, biblical authority, and a traditional worship.
I have been feeling a strong urge to return to the use of the KJV in the service. I am curious what your thoughts are on the use of the KJV?
I am not so much talking about the "KJV only" controversy (for those who choose to call it that). I am speaking more to the understandability of it, what it says to a visitor on Sunday morning, etc.
Blessings!
