Scripture Memory

The fact that this blog(g) exists represents unprecedented follow-through on my part. Miracles do happen.


Okay, the Scripture memory thing can be found here. This is a link to a church in NC. You can also find a plethora of very good sermons by the pastor, Andrew Davis. I haven't heard any of the other pastors, but I can vouch for Davis.

For those of you who were not at Homebuilders the last two weeks, I talked about an extended Scripture memory program. The link above will tell you the rest.

A word on the Scripture memory plan. You may be intimidated. You probably should be. This is not for the faint of heart. But most of us have been among the faint of heart for too long. Two questions are in order:
1) Will God be glorified by my internalizing His word and daily bathing my mind and heart in it? (yes)
2) Actually question #1 is the only question we really need.

Here are some suggested steps:
1. Embrace the intimidation. This is key. You can't do this memorization plan alone. Acknowledging this before God is the place to start. Then pray for His strength to do it. He loves to answer these kinds of prayers (2Chron 16:9).
2. Step out on faith and do it. Don't wait for a sign - it has already been given: you have a leather bound copy of the Holy Scriptures and the ability to read.
3. Ask someone to join you. It is so helpful and encouraging to be in contact with someone else who is doing it.
4. Contact me when you are discouraged or having trouble. I want to be your encourager. Also, I would love to hear updates.
5. Worship the Lord. What a tremendous blessing to know large portions of His word by heart. As you recite each day, let it be an act of worship.

The bottomline here is that with the Lord carrying you, you can do this. There are no cons, only pros. Let's fill our minds, hearts, marriages, and homes with the precious Word of God.
