If you give Scripture memory just a few seconds every day, it will change your world. (More here).
Today when I timed myself when reviewing 16 verses. It took 113 seconds. I cannot begin to describe to you what these verses have meant to me over the last 20 years that I have been working on them.
The verses included:
Romans 8:1-4 – No condemnation for those in Christ!
Proverbs 3:5-6
Hebrews 11:1-2 – A definition of faith and the introduction to that wonderful chapter.
Titus 2:14 – Conclusion to one of the richest paragraphs in all of Scripture (Titus 2:11-14).
Galatians 6:7-8 – As James MacDonald has summarized, “Choose to sin, choose to suffer.”
1 Cor 10:11-12 – If you think you are standing firm . . .
Isaiah 40:28-31 – Those who wait on the Lord will soar
I heartily agree. Scripture memory seems neglected these days but it is powerful.
I found your post because Justin Taylor linked to a blog you wrote on The Gospel Coalition, and there you talked about Scripture memory. I would like to recommend a resource to you and others: Memverse. It is a web application that helps one memorize and review verses. It is incredible – I highly recommend it! Thanks again for your post and for encouraging Scripture memorization and meditation.
Alex, that’s pretty cool. I checked it out and even did the demo. Thanks for stopping by.
