"Sometimes we don't present the Gospel well enough for the non-elect to reject it."
- John MacArthur
"In the total expanse of the human life, there is not a single square inch of which Christ, who alone is sovereign, does not declare, 'That is mine'."
- Abraham Kuyper
"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
- Westminister Confession of Faith (Chapter 5, Section 1)
"The wisdom of God has found a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God all the while upholding the righteousness of God!!"
- John Piper
"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God!"
-John Piper
"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul
"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll
"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther
"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)
"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."
- John Bunyan
"If the Christian has lost sight of Calvary, that shows that he has lost his way."
- J.I. Packer[/SIZE]

Sirach and Wisdom also rock. Big. Ecclesastes is a good antidote to the "We must be happy ALL THE TIME!" people.

Hebrews, Romans, and James
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

I'm not familiar with these books since they don't appear in the (version of?) Bible I use. So I was just wondering if the books are included for a specific denomination or something. I figured it'll be better to get the info from people at first than just from wikipedia.
Thanks.

It's in the Bible for Catholics and Orthodox Christians. I suspect any further explanation would push forum rules, but I can explain (albeit from a Catholic's perspective,) over PM if you wish.

(If I may be a bit humorous) Having a granny hovering over you and always sayin' "Listen here, sunny boy! It says to sing songs, so ya sing as lod as ya can!" can be annoying.
But I can't speak for Hana. Both my grandmothers are dead, and I only saw them like only once every two and a half years.

My all-time favorite is Romans. It contains the most crucial scripture supporting the Calvinist views of the Bible.

Here are mine:

Proverbs: A great advice-giver
Revelation: Best ending ever!
The Gospel of Luke: Because the Virgin Mary plays a much bigger role here.
The Letter to the Corinithians: Contains Paul's famous treatise on Love.
Esther: One of the best female characters in the Bible. Period.

It's better than nothing, yes. But it's not enough to just be better than nothing. Having to eat insects is better than having to eat nothing at all, but it's not good enough to just be better than nothing.

Oh, I guess thats restrictive. She could have at least read with you and discussed the meaning of said scripture. Just making someone read something is not what I'd call teaching. Oh well, just make sure that doesn't interfere with your Bible reading today.

I'll try to pick only one (its not easy. lol) for each Testament.
Old Testament: The Book of Job.... not only for the overall message of endurance and faith in God's sovereign will, but the surprisingly deep (and seldom mentioned) theological discussion between Job and his friends. Love it.
New Testament: The Book of James: powerful, convicting lessons of wisdom here that challenge me to this day.

Whats that saying...Oh yes..."I could no sooner choose a star in the heavens" lol! But I really love Job because I feel it really shows 1. The importance of giving people the right biblical advice for their situation 2. Bad things happen to everyone even born-again Christians, we just need to trust in God that everything will work out for the best, and realize that God is not punishing us. 3. DINOSAURS WALKED WITH MAN lol!!
I could make a list such as this and longer lol for every book of the bible though
and if I could only choose one book to read for the rest of my life it would have to be one of the Gospels in the New Testament, just because that is the root of our relationship with God!
