Psalm 100
1 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

All of Psalm 103. I just read it last night and it's very sweet.

Eph 1:3-7

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
KJV

I really liked Psalm 103, Whitehorse! Especially verse 11...

"For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;"

Thanks for mentioning it!

I like those Scriptures, SH, LOL! Especially the Hebrews verse! ;D

And Reba, those are great! Especially verse 4, I really liked that part.




Here's more verses I liked, in 1 Thessalonians 5:

14   Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
15   See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

Isn't that so pretty? 'Ever follow that which is good'. I just like that. ;D

Praise the Lord for all the scriptures! A Fresh of breath air for sure!!!!!!!!!

Amen, NateyCakes!

And that's awesome, that verse... Something to live by for sure!


Here's another good one...

“For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him.”

Colossians 1:16

It's good to remember that... :)

Read my banner below.  ;D  ;D  ;D

 ;D

Good one, JN! That's one of my favorites...

 ;D

I also like this one...


"Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth."

Psalm 124:8

1 Peter 5:9...standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.  
 :D

And~

1 Peter 5:10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

Sorry, this is going to be kind of long....I can never just stop at one or two....once they start coming to mind they just keep rolling on by  ;D

I love this one (even found a group who has turned it into a song!):

Psa 1:1  Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of the scornful.
Psa 1:2  But his delight is only in the Law of Jehovah; and in His Law he meditates day and night.
Psa 1:3  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivulets of water that brings forth its fruit in its seasons, and its leaf shall not wither, and all which he does shall be blessed.

And this....

Psa 147:1  Praise Jehovah; for it is good to sing praises to our God; for praise is delightful and becoming.
Psa 147:2  Jehovah builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
Psa 147:3  He heals the broken-hearted, and binds up their wounds.
Psa 147:4  He appoints the number of the stars; He calls them all by their names.
Psa 147:5  Great is our LORD, and of great power; There is no limit to His understanding.

And I like this because it reminds me to continue seeking and learning, instead of thinking I know it all, not desiring to be a fool...

Pro 1:7  The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction.


And how to have wisdom and where it comes from:

Pro 2:6  For Jehovah gives wisdom; out of His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Pro 2:7  He lays up sound wisdom for the righteous; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly.
Pro 2:8  He keeps the paths of judgment, and guards the way of His saints.
Pro 2:9  Then you shall understand righteousness and judgment and honesty, every good path.
Pro 24:3  Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established;
Pro 24:4  and by knowledge the rooms shall be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

And this because it reminds of who God is, and what He has done for me:

Col 1:13 For He has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son;
Col 1:14  in whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins.
Col 1:15  who is the image of the invisible God, the First-born of all creation.
Col 1:16  For all things were created in Him, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, all things were created through Him and for Him.
Col 1:17  And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.
Col 1:18  And He is the Head of the body, the church, who is the Beginning, the First-born from the dead, that He may be pre-eminent in all things.
Col 1:19  For it pleased the Father that in Him all fullness should dwell.

....I can't really say I have a "most" favourite. At certain times some are so appropriate to a situation they are my "favourite" then....

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

1 Corinthians 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
1 Corinthians 15:21 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.


1 John 4: 7 Beloved, let us love one another.

"Jesus wept."

Two words. So simple. When I was young, I used to choose that verse to memorize. As I (hopefully) matured, it began to mean so much more.  :)

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Matthew 7:3

This one has stuck with me for years.  

                  PSALM 20:5,6

5.  We will rejoice in they salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners:  the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.

6.  Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed:  he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

                                       8) He loves us
                                                               iconHis

I have so many that I love, that I cannot put them all here...


I really Like;

They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as Eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31


And the Best one I Really Love is, do I hear a drum roll...  ;D

Psalm 119 :: The Message

69 The godless spread lies about me,
but I focus my attention on what you are saying;

71 My troubles turned out all for the best--
they forced me to learn from your textbook.

75 I can see now, GOD, that your decisions are right;
your testing has taught me what's true and right.

Psa 46:10  Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

I think we get so caught up in trying to survive in todays world. We forget to just rest and know that God is in control.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

Howdy guys/gals.  Awesome thread!!!

Hows about this one...

Psa 91:1  He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Really like the sound of that one.

Grace and Peace!

Philippians 4:

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  

Eph 5:15-17 Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

Jer 9:23-24 Thus says the LORD, "Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things," declares the LORD.

Matt 24:37-39 "For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. "For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, they were marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.

This sounds like our world right now.

Gen 6:11-13 Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. Then God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.

Deut 18:10-12 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

Ps 119:89 For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

I love this one.

Ps 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

The entire word of God is true, and it will remain true forever, AMEN!! ;D

Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

The word of God is our weapon against all that is ungodly. We must use it to confront all falsehood and every attack of the devil. ;D

1 Macc 2:51

"51 Remember the deeds that our fathers did in their times, and you shall win great glory and an everlasting name. "


And Psalm 23 (KJV), which I read before each duty shift.

1: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2: He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3: He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5: Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.


And of course every Christian's favorite:

John 3:16

"16 For God so loved the world that he gave  his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.

What is "Macc"?  ???



John 17:11
I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name–the name you gave me–so that they may be one as we are one.

Acts 16:30-31 "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved."


<:)))><

Mark 5:36   ...Be not afraid, only believe.

"What is "Macc"?  ???"



1 Maccabees from the NAB (Or any other Catholic Bible).  I was raised on the NAB, and after switching to Protestantism, my Pastor urged me not to change versions.  So we basically use many different translations in our Bible Studies. Non-Protestant Bibles have retained 7 additional books including the Book Of Sirach in the Old Testament known as Dueteroconical by Catholics, or Apocrypha to Protestants.  The KJV as originally published in 1611 had these books as well, but they were finally removed in the 19th Century.

Eph 5:15-17 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.



We have but a short time left to serve our great Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Anyone who studies prophecy should be stimulated into action, for the time of our departure from this earth is very near. This present opportunity to serve our wonderful Lord will soon be past, let us be careful that we do not waste this precious time.

Luke 12:16-21 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

Matt 6:19-21 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

These two go together,

1Thes 4:16-18 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1Thes 5:8-10 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

Exodus 21:23-25

"23  But if injury ensues, you shall give life for life,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe."

2 Corinthians 5:1

"For we know that if our earthly dwelling,  a tent, should be destroyed, we have a building from God, a dwelling not made with hands, eternal in heaven. "

"The righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that BELIEVE" (Romans 3:22).

1 Cor 3:15

"15: If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire."

1 Corinthians 3:11   For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Malachi 4:2
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

Galatians 2:7 to 9

"But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me (Paul), as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter:

(For He that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same in me toward the Gentiles);

And when James, Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision."

Revelation 22:17.  And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Eph 3:9  And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

Brother Love :)

"...to make all men see..."

<:)))><

"For where there is a change of the priesthood, there is also of necessity a change of the Law,". . . "so then I myself [Paul] serve the [New Covenant] Law of God."

This is one of my personal favorites...

"Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins." James 4:17

Another one I really like:

"Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed." 1 Peter 1:13

(Joh 14:27)  Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.

(Joh 14:28)  Ye heard how I said to you, I go away, and I come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, because I go unto the Father: for the Father is greater than I.

(Joh 14:29)  And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe.

guess, *cough*in my name*cough* lol ;D

Job 2:10 And he said to her: Thou hast spoken like one of the foolish women: If we have received good things at the hand of God, why should we not receive evil? In all these things Job did not sin with his lips.

Job 12:9 Who is ignorant that the hand of the Lord hath made all these things?

Job 12:14 If he pull down, there is no man that can build up: if he shut up a man, there is none that can open.

Psalms 23:2-10 2 For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers. 3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place? 4 The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour. 5 He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour. 6 This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob. 7 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in. 8 Who is this King of Glory? the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in. 10  Who is this King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
