Entertaining Angels by Newsboys

The title of this Christian pop song comes from Hebrews 13:2: "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it." Personally, we always like to keep some brie on hand in case an angel stops by.

Faith by LaShell Griffin

This gospel song opens with a quote from Hebrews 11:1: "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Pope Pius X used the symbol of an anchor on his official papal quote of arms, which, he explained, was inspired by Hebrews 6:19: "We have this hope, a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul."

Coat of Quotes

The symbol for Mansfield College (a part of Oxford University in merry ol' England) includes the Latin quote, Deus locutus est nobis in filio. In case your Latin is a bit rusty, that's a direct quote from Hebrews 1:2: "[God] has spoken to us by a Son."
