The 1984 New International Version has been the Bible translation I’ve used at The Brook in my preaching and in recommendation to others since we began the church. As of this week however, after months of consideration and after prayer and counsel with others, I am switching to the English Standard Version as the preferred translation.
You might be wondering, “What’s wrong with the NIV?” The answer is, “Nothing at all.” I’ve loved the NIV for years and committed most of my Scripture memory from this translation. The 1984 NIV has been a great translation. It's accurate and up to this point it’s been the most popular and most widely used translation in the world.
