    you love God too?

    Everything he has created is to make the world go round.. and he has guided us through many religious scriptures to live in a manner which is good for us.

    Living the healthy and fit lifestyle sure is one of the good ways to live :)

    I have a lot, but when i'm pushing through a workout I keep thinking to myself:

    I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me...Philippians 4:13

    Isaiah 40:31: 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.

    I forget the song that has that in it but it's a child saying that verse and it's beyond powerful!

    Revelation 21:4 has got to be my all time favourite. The thought of one day we will live where there will be no more crying or death or pain really lifts my spirits on days that I am reminded of how short of perfection this world is.

    Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.' " … He took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and all his people he totally destroyed with the sword.(NIV)

    Ask youself Why I would choose
    To prostitue
    Myself
    To live with fortune and shame, oh yeah
    When you should have turned to
    The hearts of
    the ones that you would not save, oh yeah
    I told you when I found you
    If there was doubt you should be careful and unafraid
    Now they surround you, all that amounts to
    Is love that you'd trade for perversion and pain.

    Oh. You meant THAT type of verse. The one where David cracks Goliath's skull with a rock and birds eat his corpse.

    Sorry if it offends you but if it offends you please don't open the thread. You can tell by the title that it is religious. I find it very helpful to see what others use to get them through this difficult process of losing weight. There have been threads that I have not opened for that very reason.
    The word "verse" is not a strictly religious term. I didn't know what this was about until I opened it.

    I'm not a Christian, but I do enjoy religious history and grew up with a strict Christian upbringing.

    I always found Romans 8:24 to be quite nice:

    For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?

    The Psalms are lovely too.

    Some very nice poetry in the bible.

    OP, is there any way to change the title so it says "Bible verse" instead of just "verse" for those who may be misunderstanding how you used the term?

    Songs have verses. Poems have verses. Maybe to you, "verse" automatically calls up the phrase "Bible verse", but not for everyone.

    Maybe we could start anew thread and name it more specifically, and then ignore this one and let it drop off the page?
