Share your favorite Bible Verse

Posted on July 15, 2014 Written by Mark McIntyre 6 Comments

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.

What Nehemiah can tell us about apologetics in the church

I have heard that there are those in the church who do not feel that apologetics should be part of the discipleship process for believers . . . A statement in the book of Nehemiah got me thinking about defending our faith and the need for such defense.

What if we followed Jesus’ example?

In reading through the Gospels, I am reminded that it is possible to take a strong stand against sin while honoring and loving those who participate in it. A paragraph that I read in Learning Evangelism from Jesus captures this thought well: “But Jesus was a different kind of holy man and teacher. We have […]

Simone Weil on Affliction

It is sometimes easy to deliver an unhappy man from his present distress, but it is difficult to set him free from his past affliction . . .

High Places and Alliances – 1 Kings 3

1 Kings 3:1, 3 (ESV) 1 Solomon made a marriage alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt. He took Pharaoh’s daughter and brought her into the city of David until he had finished building his own house and the house of the Lord and the wall around Jerusalem. 3 Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the […]

Why do we make church so complicated?

Jesus tells us in Matthew 11:28-30 that his yoke is easy and his burden is light. Why then do we make church so complicated? We have programs and activities that would make the average cruise ship activities director envious. We have men’s groups, women’s groups, singles groups, youth groups, coffee shops, concerts, ministry days, outreach […]
