Thank you Jackson for these timely reminders that are important to apply to my life as a new year begins, and as the world becomes increasingly chaotic. I'm proud of your dedication to and focus on your call to ministry. He has His hand on your life. An anointing is emerging..!!!
You sent The most important thing with The Passion Translation of the Bible (TPT) is actually found in its name-specifically, the term "translation"(?). In truth, The Passion Translation is a re-worded and re-written Bible. As it is, The Passion Translation cannot honestly be called a translation maybe a paraphrase. The TPT goes beyond the idea of “translation”. The Passion Translation is primarily the work of a single author, Brian Simmons. Simmons has a long track record as a passionate and successful missionary and evangelist. Part of his success has been in developing translations of Scripture for people with no Bibles in their own language. “The Passion Translation is more in favor of prioritizing God’s original message over the words’ literal meaning.” Brian Simmons may have approached this effort with good intentions, but his methods, his wording, is more of a paraphrase, but is never to be taken as an accurate translation of the word of God. The Passion Translation of the Bible is not a “translation." Never take it as an accurate translation but rather as a devotional for opening up poetically the Bible. Good for devotions but not for Bible study. It is for reading and helping the reader to see the Bible in an easy read devotional.
Just a suggestion when people are giving words of knowledge to have the music stop so we can hear what they say… or give them a microphone to speak with … Great service btw
Greetings from your hands extended to the Czech Republic. Thank you Pastor Bruce for a word that encouraged, inspired, and corrected. I am grateful that I was led to your message this morning.
Today's sermon really was really insightful, I really enjoyed it and it really gave me something to think and pray about. I heard it in church and I listened to it again this evening online and got even got more out of it.
Thank you Pastor Bruce. Our nation, Czech Republic, has returned to a severe lockdown so no church services locally this week (at least). You word is my Sunday nourishment. Thank you. It challenged and encouraged.
