@Mayflower: Excellent thought, yes. Earlier we were thinking of 1 Samuel 7.12: Ebenezer...'Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.' In other words, the believer can look back at how the Lord has led and helped, and within the sense hitherto - up to now - may be the implied trusting expectation that He...

@Mayflower Back a bit you said: Sometimes parlors can be an acquired taste, so to speak. But a lot of Christians - in regard to their faith-based designs - do feel they have had some really good experiences in tattoo parlors, right?

@Mayflower: Philippians has only 4 chapters but as I consider each one, in turn, each one seems to be my 'favorite'; there are so many gems... :)

@Backlit May God bless your continuing Biblical testimony! :)

@Mayflower: From one of the most tremendous chapters of Scripture... :)

Hi @Mayflower I think you like Philippians 3, what with this quote and your header verse...:)

@Wynona Great Psalm there! :) (The first phrase of verse 1 - in Latin - is the motto of Oxford University, actually: DOMINUS ILLUMINATIO MEA.)

Well, the Gospels are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. In Acts 2 we see Peter preaching the Gospel - in the sense of the good news of salvation; it's a great chapter to read! :)

He came to indwell the church at Pentecost; in Psalm 51 David prays 'and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me', although now the Holy Spirit is indeed promised to be with us.

Sorry, @Backlit No offence intended... :)

I find it embarrassing to pass a church and.....[fumbles in his pocket for a list of artificial shibboleths]...some women are wearing red shoes and Revelation mentions the scarlet woman and so this 'proves' that women in church should not wear......[snooze.....]....

1 Corinthians 1.30: "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:"

@Cachalot There are such a lot of searching quotes from John's Gospel, aren't there? :)

@Cachalot Thanks for your comment and interesting that you have this perspective. Today among Christians there seem to be other perspectives also which are rather strong, often regarding faith based ones; FYI, in quote: forums dot thewelltrainedmind dot com

Indeed so... :)

Psalm 111 itself says: "Holy and reverend is His name" (KJV rendering).

@soul man FYI, interesting reference to the Holy Spirit in 1 Peter 1.11: "Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 10 Of which...

Great verses there!

What I find breathtaking is that personal preferences such as an occasional cigarette, glass of wine, nice haircut, Bible ref. tattoo, shopping at certain stores, etc., etc., can be built up into supposed theological transgressions, while central Biblical doctrines of which there is manifest...

@marks ; @Wynona Psalm 111 is a great reference point on the theme of Godly fear:
