  1. I ONLY use the King James Bible!! The ONLY Bible God ever wrote!! If it was good enough for Jesus and the apostle Paul, it’s good enough for me!!!

    (/sarcasm)

    Sorry, I just had to gig the KJVOnly-ers out there.

    I like the, um, “highlighter” at the end. They must use that a lot at Saddleback.

  4. I can’t remmber the exact quote… think I might have seen it on here at one point. Spurgeon said something to the effect of “There’s dust enough on your bibles to write DAMNATION with your fingers.” Great videos, too!

  5. In about 443 B.C. Nehemiah led a brave group of Jewish exiles back to the city of Jerusalem to rebuild the walls which had been destroyed by Babylonian invaders. As he systematically assigned different groups of workers to work on different sections of the walls, we can see how these different sections were divided by different “gates.” The Bible outlines these different gates in such a way that we might glean a spiritual lesson.

    Among the various gates, there was a fountain gate (Nehemiah 3:15) and a water gate (Nehemiah 3:26). In Scripture water for drinking (a fountain) is a picture of the Holy Spirit. Water for washing is a picture of the Word of God. The names of the workers who repaired the fountain gate are recorded for posterity. The people of God need the power of God (the Holy Spirit) to do the work of God. However, there is no record of repairs on the water gate. This reminds us that the Word of God stands forever, and will not fall. Neither will it ever need to be “repaired” or “improved.”

  6. Hello, I just want people to know out there, that not every bible reader highlights their bible to death. I happen to find it distracting. I love the Lord and I had this girl take my new bible that I recently purchased a few years ago and flip through it and then hand it back to me with pride and haughtiness – as if I was a loser in Christ. I couldn’t believe the arrogance. Do people not know that if you read it diligently and do what it says that the Holy Spirit is the one who brings it to your remembrance. You can go ahead and mark your bible up but I just happen to be one who doesn’t. It would be nice if Christians would be more loving instead of assuming things that aren’t right.

  7. Very convicting! I’m in a season of life right now in which its difficult to find time to read and meditate on the Word. (I have 5 children under the age of 8)I’m in the Word to teach them (we homeschool) but struggle with finding the time to study the Word for myself.(and not falling asleep when I do) This has reminded me though that I need to take the time even if it means putting something else off. The Lord is the only one who can sustain me and give me the grace to raise my children so I need to draw close to Him by continually being in His Word. God bless you all here at DefCon for standing for truth and not being afraid to “step on toes”!!

  8. Day and Night,

    Pilgrim is not saying you have to mark up your Bible to know God. The point of the post is not so much to say that someone who marks up their Bible is any more “spiritual” than someone who doesn’t, but to compare and contrast a Bible that is well-worn with one that is sitting on someone’s shelf collecting dust, or the kinds used in many churches these days–ones that don’t seem to have any verses that talk about subjects that people might find uncomfortable.

  9. Day & Night:

    I don’t write or highlight in my Bible either. I do keep written notes in a separate place, though. I don’t think it’s a sign of being more or less spiritual either way. The problem is with an UNUSED Bible, not an UNMARKED Bible.
