T shirts with bible verses

[Goodbook]

I had this idea a few years ago but i was thinking of it again lately as a way to stir up faith in others. I am a terrible marathon runner but this friend whos faith seems dead had this crazy idea she wanted to enter another marathon and crazier want me to do it as well. (They arent cheap, marathons, you have to pay to enter them)

So i was thinking NO not again cos last time she actually came nearly last and i came ahead of her but not first or anything i wasnt even running all the time i have no idea why she wants to enter one again. (Weve done about three, and most of them you just end up walking)

As you know shes obssessed with clothing I thought next time if we ever do another one we will have matching t shirts with a bible verse on the back. (So the people behind us can be inspired) I will get them made especially. So even if we dont end up winning or evem doing it will have the t shirt so to speak.

Question - what would be a good bible verse to have? Has to be short, clearly readable and inspiring to others who are running or walking.

Please no terrible quasi ones like God is awesome, wwjd, or I love Jesus, coffee and naps which is a lame one I saw on etsy.

In church last sunday they had a song called running it was so funny the congregation were like having a workout as they were worshipping.

It was this one

Maybe have the verse "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing comes from the word of God". Then have a lot of your favourite scriptures in smaller writing around it.

"But 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

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." ~Philippians 4:13

"You never know what tomorrow will bring."

Proverbs 27:1

James 4:14

Here's a link to a page that has scriptures related to the topic of the Christian race, many use the word run in them.
10 Bible verses about The Christian Race

Proverbs 11:13
A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret.

 

[Goodbook]

Hmm I like fix your eyes on Jesus Hebrews 12:2

 

[Goodbook]

Friend said she knows someone who makes t shirts and will ask if she can get some made!!

We also may do a charity walk not a run. If the other friend whos faith seems dead is keen. She mentioned in back in the 80s and 90s (before I really knew Jesus) they had Jesus marches or walks down the main street and all christians walked together to lift up His name! I wish we still had them she says they stopped in the late 90s.

I found this 1970s marches: Jesus march – Religion and society – Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." ~Philippians 4:13

Ack! This is among the top ten most misquoted verses. Context, people! It's not a sports verse! "All things" is about living under the cross, it's about suffering all things for the sake of Christ.

 

[Goodbook]

Well have decided am not entering a marathon you cant pay me to run, why should I pay to use my own legs.

 

[Goodbook]

If that friend who wants to enter would offer to pay my reg fee well, maybe i would have no choice, but decided, if she wants ME to pay $45 to go enter a race I will say are you kidding me.

 

[Kit Sigmon]

Romans 1:16

What about this one?

john 5:8

If i was running a race and saw that on the back of someone's t shirt ahead of me, it would encourage me to keep on keepin' on, for "through Christ" i CAN, in HIS power, and not mine. I cannot tell you how many times this actual verse has seen me through, reminding me that Christ strengthens me to do whatever it is i need HIS strength for.

This would apply to me running in an actual race:

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." ~Philippians 4:13

Yeah, it's a nice slogan, like "Just do it." But that's simply not what those words mean in their scriptural context.

I disagree, brother.

God bless us, ev'ry one
