Share your favorite Bible Verse

Update: Attempts at Honesty is no longer using Livefyre or Sidenotes for comments. This change was made for several reasons; the main reason is the negative effect Livefyre had on page load speed. Also, Livefyre limited commenting to those who are willing to create a Livefyre account and Livefyre controls all the comments. I’d rather have the control within my own domain.

In the spirit of testing out the new commenting system, I thought I would challenge the readers of Attempts at Honesty to use the comment system to share their favorite Bible verse (you can have more than one).

Please leave a comment in the box below that tells us your favorite verse and why it is your favorite verse (what it means to you). For those who are reading this post by email, the title of the post is a hot link that will take you to the post on the web where you will be able to add a comment.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you. We will all be encouraged by your responses. Also, I would ask that you share this post with others to solicit their responses. It is always fascinating to me to hear how God’s Word speaks to people.

On forced moral reform

Moral reform is the most difficult and delicate branch of statesmanship; few rulers have dared to attempt it; most rulers have left it to hypocrites and saints.

Please accept my apology

Shame on me for not being diligent in checking my sources concerning the quote on politics that I wrongly attributed to C. S. Lewis. It turns out that C. S. Lewis didn’t write it even though the quote has been bouncing around the internet with attribution to Lewis. I deleted the post and will be […]

The Goal of Christian Teaching – Love From a Pure Heart

Confused About the Goal In Matthew 22:37-39 and Mark 12:29-31, Jesus tells us that the two great commands are to love God with our entire being and love our neighbors. The concept is simple but the execution is difficult. Only two commands and if we’re honest, we admit that we cannot keep either one of […]

The idol of approval

This morning I was challenged by a paragraph that I read in The Unbelievable Gospel by Jonathan K. Dodson. “In Christ, we possess a power that can rip the muzzle off, chase away the shadows, and bolster winsome, authentic gospel witness. That power lifted Jesus out of the grave, but it sits latent in our […]
