Woah.
So, a few years ago, a new version of the NIV was released.
I didn't care much for it then. I preferred the 1984 version. But I'm sure they had their reasons. Whatever. I don't use the NIV normally, so I really only noticed the differences when I was looking up verses people wanted for their prayer cards. I thought most of the changes I saw were a bit ridiculous, but there was no skin taken off my nose.
However.
We've updated the fourth edition T&M booklets to use the NIV translation. And I just looked up Matthew 25:14-30.
The Parable of the Talents is now the Parable of the Bags of Gold.
WHAT?!?!?!?!
THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!
I may be late to the party.
But I can still make some noise.
