Using different versions of the Bible throughout your life is probably a common occurrence for anyone who seeks to live an active Christian life.  For me, it was the KJV - isn't that true of everyone over, say, 50? Then on to the NIV for about 30 years, and recently a shift to ESV. What matters is that the version you choose is accurate and faithful to the original autographs and what matters is you actually read your Bible, whatever its version. Churches have experienced this journey, too, as have Christian ministries. This is my story. For more Christian commentary see my website at rexmrogerrs.com.
