I have set a goal for myself to remember at lease one verse from every book from the bible (I think there are 66 books). That is a really hard goal to get to considering I have not read the whole bible, maybe about a little less than a third and of the four Gospels Ive only read Matthew, some of Mark, and some of John. So this will be very hard for me to do with out the help of you all. Some verses can be funny, like a pillar of salt, or serious like John 3:16.
The verses I have so far are these:
Genesis 19:16But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Exodus 20:3-4, 7-8, 12-16The Ten Commandments (pretty much).
Leviticus
Numbers
Deuteronomy
Joshua 6:1now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
(I think of communism and the Berlin Wall when I read that, is that a correct assumption?)
Judges
Ruth
1 Samuel
2 Samuel
1 Kings
2 Kings
1 Chronicles
2 Chronicles
Ezra
Nehemiah
Esther
Job
Psalm 23Shepherd Prayer

Lamentations
Ezekiel
Daniel 6:5Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no matter of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.
(I believe after Israel gets taken over a king punishes Daniel for some reason. I know that Daniel is put in a lions den to be killed. But he prays to God and God shuts the mouths of the Lions so they cannot hurt Daniel.

Amos
Obadiah

(He says that to the man on the cross to the right, after he asked Jesus for forgiveness)
John 3:16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Acts
Romans
1 Corinthians 13The Love Chapter
(If I dont remember the whole thing Ill just try the verse 13, the last verse).

Galatians 2:20I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me
(My favorite verse).
Galatians 4:16Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
(You hate me because Im honest?)
Ephesians 6:11put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Philippians 4:13I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me.
(I say this before every athletic thing I do, like before every run in track)

Just if you know something good from any where then tell me. It doesnt have to be your favorite overall just a good one from every book. And please dont make the huge list like I did it will just waste a lot of space and a lot of people wont want to read it if its long (dont do what I did). I dont expect a lot of people to read this because its long but if you read this please add. And if you like something from a book I already have, add it anyways.
If you read this whole thing thank you very much and please help me. I would also like to ask you to pray for me so I may accomplish this goal.
God Bless,
Dave
