Well, after almost 14 years of pastoring churches in three states with the exception of about seven months when we first moved to Central Alabama, I will no longer be pastoring as of the first Sunday in May 2012. With that, I will be returning to posting about various issues and concerns that I hope will work in conjunction with Facebook and a return to local television and the internet with The Pester Brat Report. May the Lord be glorified, and His people and His creation be edified.
The King James Only Controversy : I have been in 3 churches since the Lord was pleased to save me, the last 2 of them as a pastor. The first church was when I was not a pastor, but did teach Sunday School, and preached occasionally. It was a church that used the KJV of the bible, but neither I or the pastor was hardcore KJV Only. The second church was the first church I pastored. For the sake of some long time members in that small church, I used the King James version for sermons, but after I was there a year or two, I began using the NKJV for Scripture Readings. My third church, which is the one I'm pastoring now in Idaho, does not use the KJV. We offically use the NASB for our sermons, and the ESV many times when quoting other scriptures. I know some of my long time Christian friends from Maryland are KJV Only. I am not. I think it is an issue that we can agree to disagree on, but it seems there may be some that cannot. In the not so distant future, I'll post on the Blog why
