A couple of weeks ago we had a morning worship in which the brothers in the congregation chose a favorite scripture to read. It could have been one which inspired them or provided guidance or had some other significance in their life. They shared some of their thoughts about their scripture. We thought it would be good to provide a listing of those scriptures for those who would want to revisit them.
Bob - Philippians 2:1-18
Eric - Psalm 91:1-16
Adam - Joshua 1:9
Mike - Ecclesiastes 2:1-26
Don - Colossians 1:9-23
Chuck - Isaiah 40:22; Acts 8:32-39; Colossians 3:12-21
Ryan - Psalm 30:1-12
Gavin - Matthew 6:26-34
Jeff - Psalm 119:1-8, 97-112
We also want to thank Hampton for selecting and leading the songs. He was prepared to read a scripture also, but the guy doing the line-up overlooked him. Hmmm?
Check this out from The Washington Stand recently: “The vast majority of Americans suffer from critical biblical illiteracy, according to the American Bible Society's 2026 State of the Bible (SOTB) report. Only 17% of Americans told pollsters that they have read the entire Bible, while 48% claim to have read "about half" or more.” This article did not indicate if this was the general public (bad enough) or those who claimed to be Christian (abysmal!).
We are reminded: “All scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” As Christians, we should not be among the biblical illiterate but among those who are skilled in the Word of God, having our “senses trained to discern good and evil.” (Hebrews 5:14)
