I had recently discovered that they are already working on the NNIV 2015 Bible in a quest to be relevant and relational. WELS is already evaluating it for readability and its importance to relating to all Bro's. Here is an excerpt:

I Was Wrong!
There I said it. I have decided it is important to finally declare it on this blog. This blog started as a vehicle to mostly defend contemporary worship as a legitimate and beneficial style of worship. I defended it as worthy of the effort to start a mission that could reach the unchurched. I have been active in that effort for over 6 years and now...I have to say, I was wrong.
If I wanted to be thorough, I could go out there into the blogosphere and find all the quotes from others who warned me. I'm not going to though, because it is not necessary. The point is that this blog has a long running history of me trying to make arguments that at best were unwise to being just plain foolish.
Some time ago a blogger once said, "Tim is in a position to see where the best of intentions lead." Well he couldn't have been more correct. I see a slippery slope at multiple levels and I have decided I am tired of navigating slippery slopes. There are slippery slopes in society, government, synod and congregation. I can only address that which I can control directly and that is only myself. I have spent 3.5 to 4 years studying, learning and digesting but now its time to execute.
I am not making any promises to resume my blogging in any regular fashion as I tried a year ago and failed to do miserably. Work is too busy to allow me to be regular in my writing. However, I will try. I will just make my posts shorter and sweeter perhaps and that might make a return that much easier.
