We are living in exciting times when it comes to God’s word!
Sales of Bibles have increased significantly in the past few years and revivals have increased as well. The young people seem to be more engaged than they were when I was growing up.
I have seen it in my own family.
Assuming time permits, I will be adding the following to one of my speeches this weekend.
Proud Grandpa!
Over the past few years, there has been a resurgence in faith among the young, with polls showing it as well as many gatherings of young worshippers.
I’ve seen it in my own family as well, let me tell you about 3 of my 11 grandchildren, Sebastian, Ciara, and Cassidy.
Cassidy is 15 and she set up a prayer board in the kitchen to record prayers sent and prayers answered.
Seb is now homeschooling himself and running an online Bible study for his subscribers. He is only 16 years old! When I sent new Bibles to all the households in my family, his mother told him not to hog it so he set up an area for it with a whiteboard displaying suggested daily readings for his 6 brothers and sisters.
Ciara, who turned 26 on Christmas Eve, took the Bible I sent her and started Bible studies with her boyfriend. She wants another so they can continue over the phone when they’re not together.
There is a thirst among the young for a return to biblical principles, let us quench that thirst!
This is AMAZING! I too believe we are ripe for a spiritual revival. Your grandchildren are perfect examples of the thirst this generation has for the Truth.
Haha, fair enough! I can see why that might seem odd.
I made the NIV my go-to for the newsletter a long while back. It’s accessible, readable, and still faithful to the original texts, which makes it a good fit for a broad audience. I do quote other versions now and then, but I used the NIV here just to keep things consistent. That said, I personally love the KJV. It’s actually the only version I’ve ever memorized from.
Thank you for highlighting the contribution of the Tyndall version. I thank God for the gifted linguists who worked on this, and for those who laid the foundation, such as Wycliffe, at great personal cost.
I second the comment that we need to pray for the hundreds of people who are right now working to bring God’s word to every language. The accomplishments of the last twenty years on this, and the Jesus film have been phenomenal and are bringing great fruit.
I’m reminded of Francis Schaefer’s book “ The God Who Is There .” I recently switched to the NKJV and found that it is both lyrical and similar in cadence, syntax and tone. Thank you and well done
Great background of The King James Bible!

Umm..you quoted the NIV in an article about the AV?

Thank you and may God richly bless you for sharing this inspiring post!
