Reading the Bible is an essential part of the Christian experience. Psalm 119:105 says “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” At least that’s what it says in the New American Standard Bible. We live in a great time of exploring the “good Book” as there are a number of translations available for us to study. What are the most popular Bible translations? It may depend on who you ask. Many prefer the classic Bible versions that have maintained popularity for centuries while others need a more updated look at these early Christian writings. The most popular Bible translations are often those which most help readers understand what is being said (Shocking, we know).

Perhaps it’s a medical issue, the loss of a job, or something even worse. Whatever has left you in this confusing place, it’s probably also affecting your relationship with God.

Before we compare and contrast these differences, we want to first say there is nothing wrong with enjoying a little of both. Not every concert a Christian attends has to be one where prayer and worship of God are routine. Just like movies or books, your entertainment can be something of a healthy balance.
