We’re counting down the top ten Bible verses of all time, as determined by researchers with very large brains who analyze how often each verse is referenced.
Drum roll, please. Here’s the absolute #1 most popular Bible verse in the history of the universe.
You learned it in Sunday School. You’ve seen it on banners at sporting events. Maybe you’ve even got it tattooed on your biceps.
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. (John 15:13)
We continue our PRAYER-O-RAMA 2021 festivities with a little story about the painting to the right …
Two struggling art students, Albrecht Dürer and Franz Knigstein, were having trouble making ends meet. Albrecht came up with a plan: he would work to support Franz’s studies and then when Franz had sold enough art to support both of them, Albrecht would quit working and go back to school. Franz liked the idea but insisted on being the first to work.
Our 40-day journey with Jesus draws nearer to its climax.
Here’s today’s question: What would you do if you knew you only had a few days to live?

We continue our 40-day journey deeeeep into the ♥ of Jesus.
We’re sitting at Jesus’ feet listening to the greatest sermon ever preached: the Sermon on the Mount.

Nowhere is the distinctness of the Christian counter-culture more obvious. Nowhere is our need of the power of the Holy Spirit (whose first fruit is love) more compelling.
Pray through these words with all your ♥:

Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything …
Yes! I remember thinking. If only she would do everything I say, our lives would be a whole lot better. But, unfortunately, there was more.
LOVE-O-RAMA 2021 continues with a little love prayer …
