Christian Verses Novels & Stories

Ever since Evan Moore renounced his worldly pursuits in order to pray for me, I would visit him at the monastery once every month. However, he wasn't in the meditation chamber today. As I waited for Evan inside, a breeze blew open his handwritten scripture. I was surprised when I casually skimmed through the words on the pages. He had always been protective of this handwritten scripture. Every time I asked to see it, he insisted I fast and pray for a week first. However, it was impossible for me to meet such strict demands when I still had to take care of our son.

In the cause of the search, she messaged two suspects one of whom wasn't him at all from obscene replies and the other who still hadn't replied her mediocre 'hi'. She blocked suspect A in a fraction of a second and waited on suspect B. Not much information about him besides a scripture: John 3:16. If she wasn't wrong on her Bible studies and didn't want to disgrace a church elder and choir mistress who was none other than her mother, the scripture as she recalled, said: FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. At least he seemed more decent than suspect A.

We got out of the limousine. We walked inside the church. “Psalm 34 verse 18, it says that The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. I must say… He is with us right now,” The priest said. “Amen.” That was everyone else's reply. I had this odd feeling. “Let Us join hands. And for that… let's thank him.” Have you ever felt like you're being watched? I didn't close my eyes when everyone prayed.

Shaking her head in a frantic motion, Emmeline fought the intoxicating pull of his proximity. This man was temptation incarnate. He was a walker of iniquity sent to drag her down into a den of ruin. She squeezed her eyes shut and desperately summoned the ultimate shield of her faith to combat the heat pooling in her belly. "Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. First John chapter four, verse four." She gasped the scripture in a breathless rush, clinging to the verse as a frantic reminder that the holy spirit within her was supposed to conquer the sinful flesh of the world. Yet her body continued its rank betrayal.

I stammered. “Praise the Lord,” he shouted again, with a small smile appearing on his face. “Hallelujah,” they chorused again. “Brethren, this is the final stage for his prosper and victory tonight. In the book of Ephesians 6:12, we are told that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places…amen.” “Amen,” the people below chanted in unison.

Side-eyeing Summer and me, my dad stretches his hand towards Summer, saying, "This is my everything and soon-to-be wife, Summer." "Nice to meet you, Jude, and congratulations. You've made a fine choice." Summer smiles. Gazing into her eyes momentarily, Jude says, "Thanks, Summer, and congrats to you and Lucus as well." Summer glances around the house, saying, "Ajay, you have a nice home, and it's decorated beautifully. I especially love your painting of the Beatitudes." "The what?" I ask. "That verse is part of the Beatitudes. That's what we Christians call it. Don't ask me why. I guess I need to study why instead of repeating what my pastor said. It could be demonic," she laughs.

By now I was already in my Bedroom, my haven as I will call it. " What should I do, Lord? " I mumbled as hot tears streamed down my face. Suddenly I remembered the verse in the Bible which says. << I will lift eyes to the hills _ from when we come tomy help? >> << My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and Earth. >> I suddenly felt comforted remembering this. Then I remembered another verse from the Bible. Which says. << Ask and it shall be given unto you, Seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. >>

While doing the laundry, Marie’s thoughts were back on the conversation made by Mrs. Grace Reyes. With the bible in hand, Grace asked her, “Are you familiar with John 3:16?” “Yeah!” “But do you understand what that verse is all about?” “It says that God loved the world that He gave Jesus Christ, His only son and we will not be in condemnation but have eternal life.”

she repeated the lines with a pleasant touch of the chords and tears rolled down her eyes. She used to hear the song in worship and it always touched her heart when she remembered His promise. The Lord will be always with her, as said in Isaiah 43:2-3; "When you pass through the waters, I'll be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you, for I am the Lord our God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior."

His eyes looked hungry when he saw me. "Come here Michael," he said quietly. "Tonight we finish your penance properly." I walked up the steps until I stood right in front of him. The altar felt cold under my hands when I touched it. Father Elias opened the Bible and turned to a page he had marked. He read the verse in his deep calm voice. "Romans 6 verse 13. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness."
