I have a niece visiting me who is ten. She is drawn to reading the bible and so we went and got her a new NIV for kids. She is so crazy about it, and wants me to make a book mark for it.
I would love to put a quote on it for her but am drawing a blank. Can you help please help.
Thanks so much Kathy

2 Kings, 2:23-24.
23: And he (Elisha) went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. 24: And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them."

The most quoted New Testament verse is probably what Bonney quoted, John 3:16, For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. It encapsulates the entire scripture. Bert

Lol! You two... How about: Heb. 13:2 Don't forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it.

guys, this is a *bookmark* - we're beginning to need something bigger than the book itself

My favorite is Psalm 46:10
"Be still and know that I am God."

Thanks all, I went with Nathans suggestion, and the bookmark was a hit, and now rest in Matt.
Love in Him Kathy

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should NOT perish, but have eternal life. Howard doesn't believe in this verse.

How about including a bit of what the bible really has... That place in Judges where the fat king is stabbed in the belly and the knife gets stuck. Or the place where some dude gets a tent nail hammered through his head. Or the incest. Oooh... I got a great one. How about the places in the OT that tell how terrible women are? How they are dirty and unfit to be among the rest of society during their period! And the many other places that have ridiculous condescending views toward women. andy

Jeremiah 10
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

A movie? About the hushed topics in the bible? Hmmm... that would be quite interesting! Alas, any movie that I would make would only be a $ drain. However, maybe if I pitch the idea to the right writer/director/producer/etc.... andy

Howard doesn't believe in this verse. Well, this would make a strange bookmark.
