Dave Walker is my hero
Dave Walker (the cartoon church guy) is proposing a rather fun experiment. Top Verses has a bunch of top 10 lists for Bible verses, and after some searching he was able to determine that 2 Chronicles 31:7 is apparently the 30638th most popular of the 31101 verses in the Bible. He had this thought (with which I heartily agree) and this idea:
The failing, of course, is that one could be led to believe that the verses most often published on the internet are therefore the most important verses. My own view is that the most important themes in the Bible come not from picking individual ’soundbite’ verses out of context, but by looking at the overall message of entire books. Surely that is how it was intended to be read.
Feel free to post your own devotional thoughts on 2 Chronicles 31:7. It would be great if we could bump it up to the top 5. This would perplex a lot of people, which I’m all in favour of.
Not that I’d suggest mischief or anything(!), but it would be fun to game the system a little bit.
