Re: Preaching from "The Message" bible
I just commented to the church on Sunday that sometimes we are so familiar with hearing the exact words the KJV uses when we read certain passages, having heard them over and over again, that it is hard to actually get the message. It's become a cliche that lost its meaning, and we can rattle off the words, and all we hear are those old familiar words. In such instances, a another translation causes us to stop and actually GET what the message is, instead of hearing familiar words.
