Many believers hold tightly to specific out-of-context Bible verses to help them through life. What about well-known pastors? Have you ever wondered what passages of God's Word some of the most famous pastors hold dear?
The Babylon Bee asked around and found out the favorite Bible verses of the following giants of the faith:
- Joel Osteen: "I know how to live in... prosperity..." — Philippians 4:12
- Paul Washer: "The smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever, and they will have no relief day or night." — Revelation 14:11
- Andy Stanley: "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them." — Genesis 19:5
- Charles Spurgeon: "...And the temple was filled with smoke..." — Revelation 15:8
- Carl Lentz: " I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and provinces. I got singers, both men and women, and many concubines, the delight of the sons of man." — Ecclesiastes 2:8
- Rick Warren: "Women..." — 1 Corinthians 14:34
- Benny Hinn: "A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand..." — Psalm 91:7
- John MacArthur: "She is loud and stubborn; her feet do not stay at home..." — Proverbs 7:11
- Rob Bell: "Imagine there's no Heaven, it's easy if you try, no Hell below us, above us, only sky" — Lennon
May these verses comfort you just as they comfort some of the most prominent pastors.
