Your Favorite!!

[Bubba4J]

Does anybody here have a favorite Bible book and chapter? We all have favorite scripture's but never heard anyone tell their favorite chapter. Mine is Psalm 91, how about you?

Psalm 91

1) He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2) I will say of the Lord, " He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."

3) Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.

4) He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

5) You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

6) nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plaque that destroy's at midday.

7) A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.

8) You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.

9) If you make the Most High your dwelling- even the Lord, who is my refuge-

10) then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.

11) For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;

12) they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13) You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14) "Because he loves me," says the Lord "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15) He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

16) With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.

AMEN!!

Hi Chip

Great subject brother!

You might want to edit your post and cut and paste the Scriptures into it.

Some of the folk from around the world will Only see scripture if it is posted on-line.

Oops!

Can only read it here if they join and get a password!

Maybe you can ask the servants (mods) to move this out?

Chip, every Bible Book and Chapter I read becomes my favorite until I read the next one!

The "real" Lord's Prayer

A look deep into The Heart of our God!

(John 17)

[1] These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

[2] As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

[3] And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

[4] I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

[5] And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

[6] I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

[7] Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

[8] For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

[9] I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

[10] And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

[11] And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

[12] While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

[13] And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

[14] I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

[15] I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

[16] They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

[17] Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

[18] As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

[19] And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

[20] Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

[21] That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

[22] And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

[23] I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

[24] Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

[25] O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

[26] And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

Maranatha!

Hallelujah!

Love, Joe

Exactly!

Dear Brother Chip

Thank you for your fellowship and your encouragement.

The problem with the "man's only" forum is almost anything we come up with to put in there is both a great way to spread the gospel and a fine chance for the ladies to chime ah, join in!

I totally agree, Psalms 91 is a great comfort and encouragement to war weary Christians.

It is one I could read at least once a day!

A large part of the OT seems to me to be a step by step primer for Christian living.

Psalm 91 is no exception!

I see in this great "Abide in the Shadow of the Almighty" primer, a parallel to John 15.

(John 15:1-12)

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman."

"Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit."

"Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you."

"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me."

"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."

"If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned."

"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you."

"Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples."

"As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love."

"If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."

"These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full."

"This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you."

Great Thread Chip.

Love, Joe

Does anybody here have a favorite Bible book and chapter?

It depends on what I'm going through . . . do I need a praise Psalm? a lament Psalm? instruction? encouragement? discipline?

[AndrewA]

Varies from time to time the situation im going through etc. However one of my favourites is the old classic Psalm23, well it must be seeing as I have created a website about it!

[Marnie]

Without a doubt, Romans 8 is the chapter that changed how I viewed my position in Christ. These verses in particular:

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. vv. 1, 2

Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. vv. 5-7

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs

[ayin jade]

Im supposed to choose?

Lately Ive had a fondness for psalms.

Matthew 5 is always good.

Philippians, such a joyful book.

Ecclesiastes if I could remotely spell it lol.

I never have the same favorites for too long.
