I NTRODUCTION
Y ou ve probably picked up this book of devotions for men because you were drawn to the fact that it features the King James Version of the Bible. If so, you re one of the millions of Bible lovers who still prefer the beauty and classic rhythms of this four-hundred-year-old translation of the Bible to the many new translations or paraphrases of God s Word.
The Authorized King James Version of the Bible was the result of King James I of England s direction that a translation of the Bible be readied for the Church of England. Seven years later, after the painstaking work of more than fifty qualified men, the new Bible was published-not as the King James Version or Authorized Version (that designation would come two centuries later) but as the more cumbersome The Holy Bible, Conteyning the Old Testament, and the New: Newly Translated Out of the Originall Tongues: with the Former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised by His Majesties Speciall Comandement.
It should be noted that all the translators were well aware of the gravity of their task. All were university graduates-many from Oxford and Cambridge. With precision, they diligently crafted the monumental book that has served generation after generation of Christian believers.
Some of the fans of the KJV include Pulitzer Prize-winning author Eudora Welty, who has written, How many of us, the South s writers-to-be of my generation, were blessed in one way or another, if not blessed alike, in not having gone deprived of the King James Version of the Bible. Its cadence entered into our ears and our memories for good. Indeed, she speaks not just for those from the American South but for fans of the KJV here and abroad, not all of whom were religious people.
Even skeptic and Nobel Prize winner George Bernard Shaw sang its praises.
The translation was extraordinarily well done because to the translators what they were translating was not merely a curious collection of ancient books written by different authors in different stages of culture, but the word of God divinely revealed through His chosen and expressly inspired scribes. In this conviction they carried out their work with boundless reverence and care and achieved a beautifully artistic result they made a translation so magnificent that to this day the common human Britisher or citizen of the United States of North America accepts and worships it as a single book by a single author, the book being the Book of Books and the author being God.
The great British statesman Winston Churchill opined, The scholars who produced this masterpiece [the King James Bible] are mostly unknown and unremembered. But they forged an enduring link, literary and religious, between the English-speaking people of the world.
Today, the King James Version of the Bible remains extremely popular, standing firm against the plethora of additional translations. In fact, it is still the second-bestselling version, after the New International Version.
If you still remember the Scriptures you memorized from the KJV in your youth and can t quite see the advantage of the sometimes awkward phrasing of newer versions, I think you ll find solace, support, and guidance as you enjoy time with the Lord and with His Word, the King James Version of the Bible.
A M AN S E YES
I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes (P SALM 101:3).
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness (M ATTHEW 6:22-23).
A man s eyes take in many sights on any given day. But some of those sights can lead a man into sin if he doesn t police his vision. An envious eye may reveal a covetous heart. A critical eye may indicate prejudice. A roving eye may harbor adulterous desires. Every Christian man must determine that he will set no wicked thing before his eyes. Rather, he must affirm that his eyes be singularly focused on light, not the darkness of sin.
Our eyes, when gazing on sinful objects, are out of their calling, and out of God s keepi
