The practice of nailing the colors to the mast, meant that a ship refused to surrender to the enemy. Dear Christian, be prepared to nail your colors to the mast in service to the Savior Jesus Christ. Refuse to surrender, no matter what our enemy, Satan, hurls at us!

@AmyInCheeseLand I have no problem preaching from 5 of the ones on the green side of things (LSB/NASB/ESV/KJV/NKJV). I occasionally refer to some in the blue (CSB/NET).

I stay greenish. How about you?

@ferrismattic I'm practicing on some of my own Bibles now. But, @hopefamlybindry or @RockWallBibles both do some beautiful work.

Anyone know of a Bible rebinding source?

@JimBancroft2023 @mdwilson07 Very simple and easy to follow.

God didn’t make suggestions—He made covenants. Promise. Law. Kingdom. Restoration. Israel failed under the Law, but God never fails His promises. “Your throne shall be established forever.” “All Israel will be saved.” The gifts and calling of God are irrevocable. Romans 11:29

@Aaronaeus @JoshuaBarzon Actually, it's very easy to explain. All you've shown is that It only takes one generation for people to stop obeying Scripture?

Is that what we actually see in the early Church? I agree that in the New Testament the terms elder and overseer can overlap. Catholics don’t deny that. The real question is what the apostles intended those roles to become, and whether that overlap remained the norm. When you look just one generation after the apostles, the structure is no longer fluid. Ignatius of Antioch (around AD 107) consistently describes each local church as having one bishop, along with presbyters and deacons, and he even says things like “follow the bishop as Jesus Christ follows the Father” and “do nothing without the bishop.” That is not interchangeable language. That is a distinct office with real authority. So while the New Testament shows some overlap in terminology during the apostolic period, the very next generation shows clearly differentiated roles. If pastor, elder, and overseer were meant to remain identical in structure, it is hard to explain why the earliest Christians universally begin distinguishing them so quickly.

Pastor, elder, and overseer are not three different offices in the New Testament. They are three terms describing the same role from different angles. Acts 20:17-28 and 1 Peter 5:1-5 use all three interchangeably for the same group of men in the same church.

@5pointNat @JustinPetersMin I knew a lady who OD'd on a bunch of stuff you aren't supposed to take together. She later told me she "woke up" in flames. Of course, I wondered how much of that was the cocktail of chemicals she had in her system burning her nerves throughout her body.

@JustinPetersMin It’s always so interesting to me that every near- death experience reports light, peace, heaven. It’s never darkness, fear, hell. Yet, God says the road is narrow. Hmmm that should tell you something.

On the left, Don Piper's book about his made-up trip to Heaven. 90 Minutes in Heaven came out in 2004. On the right, Gabe Poirot's book about his made-up trip to Heaven is coming out now. Not only are these stories unoriginal, so are the book covers. C'mon, false teachers - give it a better college try on your books than this.

@mdwilson07 @Svigel

@Svigel I'll have my glorified body at the moment of the rapture, then go to The Fathers House (John 14:3), and return with King Jesus to Earth 7 years later, still in my glorified body.

In your eschatology, will there ever be a time when your glorified body enters the heavenly realm?

@RockWallBibles Eveyone you don't like is a grifter. Dontcha know?

A common response to seeing Bible reading on the rise has been like the one below. “Look at these grifters” or “they’re lying and virtue signaling” If reading the Bible is again seen a virtue signal, that’s a very good sign.

When God brings you into the family, He doesn’t later decide: “Ok, it’s time to put them up for adoption”

The woman had been a "sinner." But..... Then she met Jesus.

@ConceptualJames @ericmetaxas It's a wonderful idea....what could go wrong?

If Elon can't control propaganda on X, he can't control the killer robots he's building. Probably needs to be shut down.

Joel, the real issue you keep raising is this: modern Jews are not the same ethnic people as biblical Israel. Let’s test that claim against the actual historical record. My key point based on your standard: 
If dispersion, diaspora life, and some degree of regional mixing mean modern Jews are no longer Jews, then that same standard would also disqualify many Jews living in the time of Christ and the apostles. By the first century, the Jewish people were already widely dispersed across the Mediterranean world following the Babylonian Exile. Large Jewish populations lived in Rome, Alexandria, Asia Minor, and Babylon—so many that historians estimate more Jews lived outside the land of Israel than inside it during the time of Jesus Christ. Ancient historians confirm this scale. Flavius Josephus wrote that Jewish communities were spread throughout the Roman world and had become “exceedingly numerous.” Roman administrative records and censuses from the imperial period likewise note large Jewish populations in places like Alexandria and Rome, showing that the Jewish people did not vanish after the destruction of Judea but remained a recognizable ethnic population throughout the empire. The New Testament reflects that same reality. Paul the Apostle identifies himself as a Jew from the tribe of Benjamin even though he was born in the diaspora city of Tarsus. Acts 2 lists Jews in Jerusalem for Pentecost coming from all over the known world. Jewish identity in the first century was already diaspora-based and multi-regional, not confined to a genetically sealed population inside Judea. So here’s the problem for your claim. If dispersion, regional mixing, and diaspora development disqualify modern Jews as Jews, then the same logic would disqualify many Jews living in the time of Christ and the apostles. That’s why the argument that people like Benjamin Netanyahu are not Jews in the same ethnic sense collapses historically and biblically. The Jewish people did not disappear and get replaced. The historical record ranging from the New Testament to Roman sources, shows a continuous, dispersed people stretching from the ancient Levant into the wider world.

@JoshuaBarzon I'd like one in the Legacy Standard Bible, please. Just the text block. I've got some beautiful red goatskin that would look great on it.

Would you read a “dark mode” Bible?

My son came over asking if I was bleeding from anywhere. He had the same idea that someone had dropped a .22 LR in the field.

Tilling the garden and there was a very loud "Bang!" First thought was a backfire or piston through the block. But the engine was purring nice and smooth. Next thought was I had hit a .22 LR? Turns out the tire/tube were dry rotted and went out with an explosion!

@mnwickens I've always like the burgundy/tan of JMac's. (Contents are generally pretty nice too)

Which of these commentary covers do you prefer? Not the commentator or publisher, but simply choosing on appearance alone.

@bXsurf @BibChr I preached a sermon on the spiritual blessings from Ephesians 1, and afterward, a lady came up and asked if I was a Calvinist, "because that sounded pretty Calvinistic." And here, I thought it sounded Pauline.

@BibChr When I innocently talked about predestination in Ephesians to a girl at an SBC university, this is pretty close to her expression. I was confused...

A lot of people respond this way when you explain the Biblical doctrines of grace to them straight-up:

@RockWallBibles On the one hand, record highs, is good. But only 54.5 / 1,000 seems abysmally lower than it should be.

Almost 400k bibles sold last year in the UK. Compare to 19M sold in the USA. On a per capita basis: 🇬🇧 UK ≈ 5.7 per 1,000 people 🇺🇸 USA ≈ 54.5 per 1,000 people Both are record highs over the last 20 years. Still no one comes close to buying as many Bibles as Americans.

@Exodus15_11 You're insisting on too many details for some folks to follow apparently.

So, the Antichrist already came and the Jewish recognized him already in the rebuilt Temple, and they fled, and the Lord protected them in the wilderness already before they received Him as Savior?
