Luke is probably my favorite gospel, but my favorite verse overall is Matthew 11:28.
"Fire is catching. If we burn, you burn with us!"
"I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to stay here and cause all kinds of trouble."

Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast.

I recently heard somebody say, in reference to Luke being written by the same author as Acts....Originally posted by Sparko View Post
"Acts is the second of a two-volume series -
written by the same guy (Luke)
to the same guy (Theophilus)
about the same guy (Jesus)The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.Comment

When I was a kid, my 107 year old* Sunday School teacher taught me - "General Electric Power Company" as a way to remember Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians. I have never forgotten that.Originally posted by seer View Post

I had the order of all the books down pretty early; it helped with "sword" drills.Originally posted by Cow Poke View Post
For those uninitiated, a "sword drill" was where the Junior Church (attended by kids until 6th grade instead of the main Sunday morning service) leader would say a verse reference, and the first person to find it in their Bible would stand up and read it, and get a prize.Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

The Orthodox Study Bible really messes me up, because they stick extra books in the OT AND rearrange them (I understand they're placed in the traditional LXX order). The NT is from the NKJV, so that at least is normal.Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI spent MANY a Saturday morning as a kid being hauled to different Sword Drill and Speaker Tournaments -- then, when I was a youth minister, I did a lot of the hauling.
