The Pastor uses a King James and I don't, so following in my Bible is distracting. I want to get the full meaning of the passages. I simply close my eyes as he reads the Scriptures and I get more out it this way, rather than trying to keep up between 2 translations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I don't is because the church has the pew Bible which is the one that is preached from and my Bible although good has different wording so I prefer to follow the church sermon with church pew Bible and than double check my Bible at home.

That way I can make notes in the margins on things I want to remember. Plus, I dont believe everything anyone says, I verify everything spoke in church.

SOmetimes I just listen, other times i will follow along. the thing with me is, I get easily distracted and will start reading something else and miss what is being said, so most of hte time it stays under my seat...
