Love.\n\nIn the end, it's all about love.  Even the law is about love.  \n\nWe don't always know what's best for us.  We don't always know what love is.  We think strong feelings are love.  How many people in the world control, manipulate, abuse, and even kill in the name of love.  What do we know about love?\n\nLove is when you do what is best for someone else.  When you put them first.\n\nWe have our own desires to contend with.  The law was given to us to teach us how to balance our desires with loving others.\n\n“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”\nJesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”  Matthew 22:36-40\n\nWe don't even know how to properly love ourselves.  We have addictions and vices and disorders.  We don't want to obey because it's not fun and it's difficult.\n\nWhat if it's the best thing for us?  What if obedience is best, not because we fear some retribution later, but because it ultimately makes us into someone we love being right here and now?  Someone who is able to love God and others deeply and completely?\n\nI don't know why Mr. Shaw believes that "God doesn't do happy."  Maybe he's thinking more along the lines of giddy rather than joyous?\n\nFor whom the LORD loves He corrects,\nJust as a father the son in whom he delights.\nProverbs 3:12\n\n The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD,\n And He delights in his way.\nPsalm 37:23\n\n But let him who glories glory in this,\n That he understands and knows Me,\n That I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, \njudgment, and righteousness in the earth.\n For in these I delight,” says the LORD.\nJeremiah 9:24

As listed above, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. This is also the order they're in. (reverse alphabetical)\nI don't have a favorite. They're are all handed down accounts of personal witnesses to Jesus. I think in the new testament, I enjoy reading most the writings of Paul(Saul). I think if Peter had written more about witnessing while Jesus was alive, it would have been my favorite. I think his personal accounts would have been more "humbling".

Psalm 139. i love that whole chapter

Ok, i got 2 good ones. The story aboout Balaal and the talking donkey at Numbers 22; 28- 35\nAlso Absalom getting stuck in the tree from his hair at 2 Samuel 18; 9\n\nHere's some more doozies;  Jacob dressing up and getting hairy like Esau in Genesis 27; 15 - 40\nIsraelites disobeying Moses about the manna provision and getting worms in their food at Exodus 16; 19 and 20\nMy personal favorite is Exodus 32; 24 where Aaron is explaining to Moses how he took the jewelry from the people , threw it into the fire , and the golden calf happened to come out on its own. What he really did is mentioned at verse 4.

In my opinion it is the Quran..... because not even a comma has been changed since it was revealed. When Prophet Muhammad revealed God's words they were written by scribes right at that time (they were later organized by length)..... This is a sincere conviction of mine and a billion others\n\n***however this does not mean that i do not respect a Christian's right to believe that the current Bible is irrefutable truth. but in response to your question the above reasons are why the Quran is so close to my heart\n\npeace and blessings to all

The Bible - New International Version.., (NOT the TNIV).\nThe methodology used in translating and sniffing out suspect scriptures added after 13th and 14th centuries makes this translation the most reverent of most translations on the market today.\n\nEven so, I keep my King James, New King James and the King James Easy Reader versions on hand.

There are too many to list!!! \nHowever here are a few:\n\nProverbs 25:11 Like apples of gold in settings of silver \nIs a word spoken in right circumstances.\n\nJames 1:22 But prove yourselves to be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.\n\nProverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower\nThe righteous runs into is and is safe.\n\nThanks for asking. It brightens up the day to have a nice question like yours!

shortest chapter Psalm 117\nlongest chapter Psalm 119\nmiddle chapter/verse is debated, but a common answer is Psalm 118:8-9 about taking refuge in the Lord.\n\nPerhaps a coincidence, yet kind of cool.  BUT I wouldn't say that it elevates these texts any more that the other verses of the precious inspired Word of God.  They are all important!

Mine is Psalm 62:2\n"From the ends of the earth, I out cry to you, Lord.\nWhen my heart is overwhelmed,\nLead me to the rock that is higher than I."\nGood verse. It's gotten me thru a lot.
