BibleGateWay.com released a list of the 5 most popular Bible passages people read in each of the 10 cities with the most traffic to their website. BibleGateway points out that Psalm 23 appears in the top 5 of all 10 cities except Singapore (actually Psalm 23 appears in the top 3 of those 9 cities) and also that only 8 books of the Bible (8 of 66) are on the list.

   My take: All 8 Western cities (7 US plus London) have the same top 3 Bible passages in various orders. The top 3 are Psalm 23, 1 Corinthians 13, and Genesis 1. These 3 passages are in the top 5 for Makati City (Philippines). Only 2 cities have passages NOT listed by other cities. Los Angeles has James 1. Singapore has 4 passages unique to itself: Proverbs 2, Psalm 46, John 17, and Psalm 146.

Genesis 1 is in the top 5 for 9 cities, and the top 3 for all 8 Western cities. It looks like creation is a popular topic, and rightly so. Attacks against creation undermine the authority of God's Word.

   The overall list of most popular passages is: Psalm 23, 1 Corinthians 13, Genesis 1, Romans 8, Psalm 91, John 3:16, Jeremiah 29:11, James 1, Proverbs 2, Psalm 46, John 17, and Psalm 146.
