:::There's no doubt that it's one of the greatest parables, but the Prodigal Son isn't so much about the conversion of the non-Christian as the ''return'' of the lost sheep. Do you think it's really effective at converting those who were never part of the flock to begin with? [[User:DanielPulido|DanielPulido]] 00:42, 13 February 2010 (EST)

I put Psalm 23 at the top of the list because I believe that it is literally the most beautiful and most perfect piece of writing, ever:
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
When I have had my faith shaken Psalm 23 has always saved me. If other people disagree, of course feel free to revert; I'd love to hear which passages matter the most to other Christians as well.
