This is pretty much my view in a nutshell.

There isn't a lot of real teaching going on these days. At least from what I've seen.

I remember my pastor F.E. Curts teaching Thursday nights. Thursday was Bible Study and he used large charts. Attached is an old picture (I have no idea of the date) of him teaching from his Tabernacle Chart. At one time the Pentecostal Publishing House sold a book on The Tabernacle that he had written. Bro. Curts died in 1968 or 1969.

Attached also is a newer picture from a church about an hour and a half from here. I've never been there but may get there some day.

Did you notice the Kero-sun in the picture brother_barker.jpg. Looks like it's a few inches from the cabinet and a plastic chair. Talk about teaching that sets a church "on fire."

I don't own one either. It is too available online to purchase one especially when I can't copy/paste from a book.

Re: The Message Bible

I like the Message, but I only use it as a reference. It helped with teaching Sunday School because it was paraphrased in a way younger kids understood it. But beyond that, for me it's just reference.

I prefer the KJV and ESV. I'll also use NIV if necessary.
