Early this morning, after reading in Romans, I got to thinking what would be my favorite chapter in the Bible? I decided Romans 8 was my favorite (today anyway<smile>) although Matthew 5, Isaiah 53, Psalms 91, John 4.......ect. ect.
So today I attended the funeral for my next door neighbor and the preacher shared that the man who had passed wanted him to read something to everyone at his funeral. It was Romans 8. He said that it was his favorite chapter in his favorite book of The Bible and he wanted his family and grandsons to know and understand the great LOVE God has for us and how NOTHING can separate us from God's love, which is in Christ Jesus our LORD. I hope they were blessed as much as I was.
Anyone care to share their favorite chapter, if that's possible(to narrow down the many, many wonderful chapters within The Bible to just one). What if you could only choose one chapter to keep with you for the rest of this life's journey...no other part of The Bible, just one chapter?
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”

Hi James,
Such great scriptures every one has given. Aren`t we so blessed to have God`s whole word.
My husband Trevor chose Psalm 121,
`I will lift up my eyes to the mountains: from whence shall my help come from? My help comes from the Lord. who made heaven & earth. He will not allow your foot to stumble......`
I choose Jude 24,
`Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, & to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion & authority, before all time & now & forever. Amen.

I don't know if this was my grandmother's favorite chapter or not, but I heard her quote it literally hundreds of times as she looked up a small hill from her 'prayer spot' under a large Tulip Poplar tree.
Many days on my morning walk up the side of a small mountain I too quote this scripture, looking up unto heaven. It draws me nearer in fellowship with The Lord, it also reminds me of my grandmother's faithful prayers unto God for me.

Hi James,
How blessed are we who have had parents, grandparents who knew the Lord & passed on to us the deeper walk `dying to self & living for Him.` Shows us how important our walk is before those around us. I am encouraged to hear the men on this site seeking to know the Lord more & more. God has given men that protective responsibility & us ladies here appreciate you all.

So now I have a new 'favorite chapter', Philippians chapter three. I love what Paul said concerning how that everything he had or had gained or had loss in life was as dung compared to coming to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. And the only desire he had was to "...to be found in Him" and "...that I may know Him". Phil. 3:9-10
Also his determination to put the past behind him ["...forgetting those things which are behind..."] and press forward in Jesus, seeking Him alone. Phil. 3:13-14
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”
