iPhone users have helped identify the most inspiring Bible verses. ReignDesign, developers of the popular ‘Bible Promises’ application for iPhone, recently released a new version which allows people to ‘favorite’ their most inspiring Bible verses. By analyzing information from thousands of church-goers across the world, they were able to compile a list of the most popular verses.
1. Isaiah 40:31: But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
2. Deuteronomy 31:6: Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
3. Psalms 103:2-3: Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits – who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.
Christians Targeted For ‘Intolerable’ Views

The intolerance against those with religious or traditional moral views is reaching new lows and nowhere is that clearer than Alameda County, California.
On Tuesday evening the school board in the Bay Area city voted 3-2 to approve a curriculum promoting homosexuality to kindergartners, despite vehement and overwhelming opposition from the community. Promoters of the curriculum are so bent on indoctrinating students that they refused a parental op-out provision, even though parents plead for the board to respect their right to protect their children.
“Polling conducted in the city by the Capitol Resource Institute found that over half of city residents opposed the curriculum,” stated Karen England, executive director of CRI. “Even many of those who did support the curriculum still favored a parental opt-out.”
