Life Application Study Bible Giveaway

Byhenry January 23, 2011

For participation in a previous contest, Tyndale House has sent me a certificate for one free copy of the Life Application Study Bible (NLT), which they say is the #1-selling study Bible.

I’m happy to be able to provide someone with a copy of an NLT. I’m going to do this a bit differently this time. I’m not going to just select a random commenter. Rather, I’m going to ask you to give me a maximum of 140 word application to life drawn from any portion of Genesis 11:10-32. I will randomly select one of every qualified entry.

You can enter as many times as you want to, provided you provide a different life application. I’ll disqualify any entries that are more than 140 words. The word count will use the standard English concept of a word. For example, this paragraph contains 46 words.

I’m going to give everyone tw0 weeks, so I’ll make my selection February 7, and mail you the certificate.

Thanks to Tyndale House for providing this certificate, and for publishing the NLT in many fine editions.

NLT has a Blog

Byhenry July 8, 2008

Wayne Leman at Better Bibles Blog notes that there is now a blog for the NLT. I note with pleasure that the first post deals in a very balanced way with the widespread belief that dynamic equivalence translation is the same thing as paraphrasing. (One should note that in this case “paraphrasing” is not used…

Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, that pretty much says it. I will be having fun with friends and family, though I’ve already done a bit of casual blogging in the early morning hours. Blessings to all. If you’d like a thanksgiving post, try this one that I wrote for my wife’s devotional list.

A Rant about Study Bibles

Byhenry January 23, 2014

I dislike study Bibles. I almost said I hate them, but since I do tolerate some of them, that would be overstating the case. My problem with them is that they tend to blur the distinction between the text that we’re studying and the commentary made about it. I have managed to keep my annoyance…

Medical Personnel Used as Scapegoats in Lybia

Byhenry December 8, 2006

I really have nothing to add to this, but I do want to make sure it gets maximum publicity: Libya vs. Evolutionary Science: Will the Tripoli Six be sentenced to death by firing squad? There are five nurses and a doctor on trial in Lybia for spreading AIDS, and it’s clear that they have done…

This account of Shem reveals how God blessed his lineage leading to Abram. Shem earlier received his fathers blessing in chapter nine stating the Lord was his God. She m’s lineage believed the Lord, unlike the people God scattered in chapter eleven, which is the reason they were fruitful and multiplied spreading out even to Haran toward Canaan. We can expect God to guide us and lead us when we believe His word and obey His commands. Read His word today and believe in it; then the Lord’s hand will not be against you.
