Living Words
6 Biblical selections that guide my faith practice
This is a site that has been in the works for a really long time! Living Words is a one-page-wonder showcasing most if not all of my favorite Bible verses and/or passages. (It's also technically a revamp of my old, unnamed faith site, which is now offline.)

Along with the Bible verses, I've included context for each selection, and I added 4 handy informational links at the bottom of the page as well. Also, if you hover over each of the book/chapter/verse notations, a tooltip will appear detailing what each selection means to me.

I hope this will be a much better resource than what I had before, and in the future I hope to add more verses to it as well. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Lovely choices of verses and passages, Robin!

These are simple, heartfelt words to remember and live by regardless of religious affiliation (imo, as I won't speak for anyone else but me). I think 1 Peter 3:8 is especially true in that respect. I don't nearly review the teachings often enough, so this was a good reminder for me.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! :D I'm hoping to add more as I have time and study more, but this is a good start (and it's soooo much better formatted/designed than my old site xD).

It's cool that you mention 1 Peter 3:8, because I actually ran across that very very recently and was surprised that it's not often studied as much, since it is so straightforward and echoes the foundation of most New Testament-emphasized Christianity. (Though it could be that the various groups I've been in HAVE studied it before and I just...forgot. LOL #adhdproblems)

This is so nice, Robin! I think it's nice to highlight your favorite passages. It inspires me to do something similar. I think there are certain passages that are really important to me on a daily basis that I work hard to try and abide by. IE: Love one another, don't judge lest ye be judged, etc etc. I think it's a nice idea to compile this page because you can reference it easily, show people a little bit about yourself and your beliefs, and also have a nice place for your bookmarks. :)

Thank you! I struggled with making this kind of site initially because everything I put online about my faith felt like really weird bragging, or way too interpretive, etc.. It was strangeeee. Finally I just thought, "Well, how about just Bible verses, to let the words (or the Word) speak for itself?" I did include a little bit about what each verse means to me but I kept it suuuuper simple and I ended up with a much better result. Like you said, it serves as a bookmark list of fav verses as well as a snapshot of my beliefs!

Also, I would love to see your fav verses on a site like this! :D :D

All this conversation is making me want to do this too ^^ Though I lost most of my highlights when I got my new phone, I've been building them up again.

I feel that new phone trouble, Mikari :/ but yeah, totally compile your fav verses on a site when you get a chance! Would be cool to compare notes (literally)! :)
