The Gospel in New Texans Translation (NTT)

The Gospel, Y'all
Rob Green Photography

Have you ever wondered what the Gospel would sound like from a Texan's perspective? Well, wait no more! We're taking Jesus from Nazareth of Israel to Nazareth, Texas, y'all. In fact, you could even call this its very own biblical translation for southerners, the New Texans Translation (NTT). Grab some good old southern comfort food and buckle you're seat belts for this drive through the bible belt!


Matthew 6.25

"Therefore I tell y'all, do not be anxious about y'all's life, what y'all will eat or what y'all will drink, nor what breeches y'all shall wear?"


Romans 12.4-8

For as in one body of kin,y'all have many members, and the members ain't got all the same function, so y'all, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another, y'all. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to y'all, let us be fixin' to use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness, y'all.


Joshua 1.9

Be strong and courageous, gosh dang it!


Psalm 139.17-18

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sands of West Texas. I awake from my afternoon nap while watching Nascar, and I am still with you.


Genesis 1.24-25

And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kin -livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kin." And it was so. And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kin and the livestock according to their kin, and every varmint that creeps on the ground according to its kin. And God said, "Well I'll be, that is good, but just wait until I make those rednecks!"

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
