“There are so many inspiring, stirring and comforting passages in the Bible and it is never easy to choose one over others, but one that I am particularly fond of is Philippians, chapter 4, verses 8 and 9, from the King James Version. To me this passage calls on us to follow God’s example and put into practice Jesus’ teachings by leading good, honest, selfless, loving, responsible and compassionate lives; helping each other as best we can.”
The Rt Hon David Cameron MP (from The Nation’s Favourite Bible Stories)
