Do You Find It Hard To Memorize Scripture?

I have come across an excellent resource that has helped me memorize Psalm 1 in 6 days (one verse a day).

It is a little ebook written by a man called Dr Andrew Davis. It is free!!!! – Here is the link where you can download it -An Approach to the Extended Memorization of Scripture By Dr Andrew Davis

He is encouraging Christians to memorize large chunks of Scripture instead of a verse here and a verse there. I hadn’t thought of it in this way before. But it is starting to make sense to me. Since I have memorized Psalm 1 I have been able to see the whole Psalm in context rather than just focusing on my favourite verses in the Psalm.

I am so encouraged with Dr Andrew Davis’ method on how to memorize large chunks of Scripture that I am now working on memorizing the entire book of James!!!!

I urge you to go to the ebook link and print it out and give memorizing and meditating on God’s Word a go.

Here is another great resource – the website is called Precept Austin , here is a link to the page on Memorizing Scripture – it is so full of excellent encouragement and insightful comment on the ins and outs of memorizing the Word. Memorizing His Word

Happy Memorizing

How to share knowledge

Do you know that there are two ways to share knowledge?

1. For mere knowledge sake – just in order to show the person what you know.

2. For love’s sake – in order to build up the person listening to you.

Here is the scripture for this -

1 Corinthians 8 v 1b “Knowledge puffs up but love builds up”

Here it is in the Amplified version – “mere knowledge causes people to be puffed up (to bear themselves loftily and be proud) but love (affection and goodwill and benevolence) edifies and builds up and encourages one to grow [to his full stature]“

This truth applies in all sorts of situations.

What about when you are home educating your children – is your motive in teaching them to build them up? Are you coming from a place of love or a place of “I have to teach them this and that” Is your purpose to encourage them not discourage them?

It applies to everyday conversations – are you merely sharing knowledge on a topic to show that you know something that the other person doesn’t? Or are you sharing in order to build up that person, to encourage them?

This truth really brings home the point that less words are better – it is better to say a few words in love than to speak many words for your own edification.

I want to only share my knowledge in love – I want my hearers and readers to be built up , to be encouraged , to be edified and for them to grow. I want what I say to my children to build them up and to encourage them.

What about you?
