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!"

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
