Scripture Memorization
This week we start our Scripture memorization work. I want to once again encourage each of you to work at this. I know many of our members have memories that like to let go rather than hold on so I don’t want to overly burden you with this. Do what you can, work at it, read the memory verse several times each day, but if it won’t stick then it won’t stick. Just move on to the next one. Even this process will help you to stay focused on one significant passage of Scripture each week. Don’t be surprised if more of it sinks in than you expect!
To guide our selection of memory verses I will be following The Gideon Scripture Memory Course (Thanks Bob!). In our weekly newsletter we will provide the Bible reference along with the passage from the English Standard Version. Feel free to use any translation you favor. Some will want to use the ESV, some the KJV, some the NIV, some something else. Use what you are comfortable with.
Read the Bible. Study the Bible. Know the Bible. Let’s grow together in God’s Word.
