The Rapture Question Part 1 and 2 by Pastor Brandon Park at First Baptist Raytown.

 

Though my blog is called “One Pastors Point of View”, I see that I am not the only pastor who does not necessarily believe in the Pre-Tribulation Rapture.

"You want to know why there's so much darkness in this world? Could it be because a lot of folks don't see us loving one another?" - Fred Luter

A New Start

I know it has been some time since I have posted anything on my sites.  The reason for this is that I have moved from my home in Utah and have came back home, in a since, to Missouri.  I plan to write out more about my move later but I wanted to give a brief idea for the move.

As most people know I was born and raised in Missouri.  I moved to St. Louis when I was 18 and was very happy.  Then I felt God calling me to Utah to preach for a small church in a small town. 

And let me tell you, going from the STL to Duchesne was a big adjustment.  Duchesne, Utah has about 1700+ people and in a very small town.  St. Louis is a little bigger. 300,000+

I grow up on a farm and all but yes, I became a little to city and I liked it.  But God was calling me to Duchesne, so I went. 

Now I don’t want to go to much into my time in Duchesne right now but let me put it like this. 

• I got my first cyber stocker… I know crazy right.  Little oh me in a little oh town get Cyber stocked by a… well I don’t want to go into that right now but that’s a fun but mostly sad story. 
• I would have never made it through the 2 years there without my best friend Ryan.  He helped me so much and it hurt me to have to leave him and his wife Kory.  I love you both so very much. 

But right now I am seating in a hotel room, the day after my birthday thinking about what God has called me to do next.  I am seating mu Kansas City, Missouri waiting to start my new roll as a church planter.  If you don’t know what that means it simple, I am going to start a new church in the KC area. 

There are a lot of things I will miss about Utah But I have to follow God.  I will tell the whole story soon.

Yet another great video explaining why Sam Gipp is wrong and misleading people in this whole crazy idea that the King James Bible is the only word of God.  Thank you once again Dr. James White for stand up ageist these crazy ideas. 

Which Bible Translation Should I Use?

Posted on 19 Sep 2012

It's a question every customer faces when they walk into their local Christian bookstore. With so many options, it can be difficult to know where to start. Are the translations really that different? Is one better than the other?

Editors Andreas J. Kostenberger and David A. Croteau, with B&H Publishing, set out to address these questions in their new book Which Bible Translation Should I Use. Though B&H published the HCSB, they thought it helpful to provide readers with a comparative/contrastive look at four major modern Bible translations (ESV, HCSB NIV, NLT). Each author played some significant role with the translation about which they write, and three of the essays were lectures in the Fall 2011 Liberty University Biblical Studies Symposium on Bible translation. QR codes are located on the pages to view symposium lectures as well.

While we would unreservedly commend the HCSB in answering this question, we whole-heartedly commend this book to anyone seeking to purchase a Bible, or simply desiring to learn more about Bible translation. All of the scholars who contributed to Which Bible Translation Should I Use? are top-notch, and book is a helpful guide to discovering which English Bible translation is best for you. English-speakers have been afforded an abundant stewardship in the way of Scripture, and we see this book as tremendously helpful in that endeavor.
