Here are some of my favorite Scriptures and a little background to why

7/27/10 – 1 Corinthians 13:1-3

Without love, we are nothing…

3/9/10 – Proverbs 29:20 – Do you see a man hasty in his words?  There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Early on in my faith journey I was deeply impacted by the fact that we talk too much.  A lot of the wisdom literature has places where it talks about talking too much or talking without thinking.  I read this verse recently and was reminded that we need to watch what we say.

10/19/09 – Matthew 5:3-10

This is one of the thought blocks that I am trying to memorize.  I love the Beatitudes.

9/25/09 – Revelation 1:12-17

This is one of my favorite passages because (1) it gives a detailed description of Christ in His glorified state and (2) I absolutely love John’s reaction.  “I fell over as though dead.”  I can only imagine some of the reactions biblical characters had when they encountered their Creator.  And I can only imagine what it is going to be like when Christ returns.  I hope I will have that reverence and fear to fall over as though dead.

9/13/09 – Psalm 23:1 – The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want

This verse really spoke to me after I heard a sermon from Francis Chan.  He kept emphasizing “I shall not want.”  I want to store up my treasures in heaven, not here on earth.

9/13/09 – Psalm 66:16 – Come and hear all who fear God and I will tell you of what He has done for my soul

This is one of my newer favorite verses.  I love hearing and sharing stories about what God is doing in our lives.  If we don’t have consistent new stories of God, then is He really working in our lives?
