If you’re not already doing this, please consider capitalizing ‘Bible’. It’s a matter of reverence for God’s Word. The Bible is different from any other book in the world. It is His Book!

🙂 I sometimes have switched between, but I do like the fact you shared how it is a special book, and for that reason, it should always stand out. Now, I’ll make sure to always have a capital B.

I am probably guilty of this…I prefer His Word or Scriptures/scriptures, so when I use Bible, its rare and I am not paying attention. I also have a keypad that doesn’t always capitalize my letters-done this since I bought it years ago.
Have a blessed day! \o/.

Sherry, you’re fine! It’s just that some bloggers are doing this consistently and it would be good for them to think about this.

This is a beautiful reminder, dear sister! We simply can not honor Gods Word enough, for the Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us. What a precious thing it is to hold the words of God in our hands. Grace and peace to you!

I think I do unless I just miss. I like saying God’s Word too. I actually capitalize Scripture. May not be right but I try to.

Thanks, Maria. I’m also jolted a little when I see the Lord referred to as “he” or “him” (small h).

Tom, yes – this too! I think Sherry mentioned that she uses the NKJV because it capitalizes these.

Pastor Jim, you’re doing great! The focus here is general. Usage comes into the language and gets rooted there – I hope and pray that our informal usage, such as dropping capitalization, doesn’t become what is correct.

I agree with you Maria in that every time I see the Bible with a lower case b or the God with a lower case g; it’s irritating because God’s name should be capitalized. For me, that’s why I probably like using the NKJV Bible because it capitalizes the Lord’s name.

Joshua, this is a very good thing that the NKJV does. My friend Sherry likes this version for the same reason. I hope you are enjoying school! Thank you, little brother, for commenting!
