Eugene Peterson said, 'Your time for tears is over'.

When Eugene Peterson had this idea... He was trying to preach the Bible. He's in heaven now, but he was trying to preach the Bible to his church. He realized they weren't really getting it, so he sat down to write a translation of the Bible in a way they could understand.

Do you know that little version on your Bible on your phone? I hope you have the Bible on your phone. I hope you have the Bible up above Facebook on your phone, because you need that one to start your day. You really do.

If you click on it, there will be one version that says MSG, and it has nothing to do with a Chinese restaurant. It's the message translation, and it was written by a man who just had an idea.

What if I write the Bible in the language that's common to the people? He ended up translating the whole Bible that way, the message translation, all because maybe God will use this.
