Hmm...I wonder what other people are reading??

If there was a popularity contest for passages, where would they rank? Is your favorite passage in the "popular crowd?" Well...Biblegateway.com compiled the numbers and came up with a list of the most viewed passages on their site in 2009. Take a look:

  1. 1 Corinthians 13
  2. Psalm 23
  3. Genesis 1
  4. John 3:16
  5. Romans 8
  6. Psalm 91
  7. Matthew 5
  8. John 1
  9. Matthew 6
  10. James 1
  11. John 14
  12. Romans 12
  13. Jeremiah 29:11
  14. Philippians 4
  15. Psalm 1
  16. Psalm 139
  17. Ephesians 4
  18. 1 Corinthians 1:31
  19. Romans 1
  20. John 3
  21. Ephesians 1
  22. Ephesians 5
  23. Luke 1
  24. Matthew 1
  25. 1 Peter 1

WHY these? That's the first question that came to mind. Is it a reflection of our culture? Curiosity? Are these the passages that most pastors choose to preach on? Your guess is as good as mine. But if you're stuck in your personal reading of the Word, why not tackle one of these passages (*Linked*)?
