Subject: Now introducing...
From: Stuart, Hereld A. (PS, NE)

Hi, all.  Greetings in Jesus name.  It's been quiet on the Bible Memory
Connection, so I thought I'd take a second to introduce myself.  My name is
Hereld Stuart, but most folks just call me Stu.  I'm 36, and married with 4
kids, ages 8, 5, 5, and 2.  I used to really dislike my 3 1/2 to 4 hour daily
commute, but since I started using that time to memorize scripture, I look
forward to it.  The scripture studying/memorization has also helped me be able
to get up at 3:30 in the morning so I can stop by the church and pray before I
leave for work.  Through the Bible memorizing and prayer commitments, Christ has
really revived within me.

My stretch goals are to complete Philippians, Ephesians, Colossians, James, and
Galatians this year (some of which is relearning that which I had memorized in
the past), and to complete Romans - Jude within the next 5 or 6 years.  When I'm
working on a particular book, I like to find a good commentary to get a good
understanding of it, and to pray the verses that I learn, and apply them in my
life as I see opportunity.  Thanks to all for the great tips and words of
encouragement I have found going through the archives of this e-list.  God bless
you as you commit yourself to Christ and to His Word.

For the Word of God is quick (alive) and powerful, and sharper than any
two-edged sword...  (Hebrews 4:12)

- Stu

Subject: InVerse freeware: update available
From: Lynn Allan

Ver 3.3.02d of the InVerse Scripture memorization software is now = available
from the following locations:
http://home.att.net/~bibleinverse/Download/InVerseSetup.exe
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/InVerse/files/InVerseSetup.exe

InVerse now provides the capability to only view passages from a = specific
translation. This allows 'filtering' to excluded passages from = other
translations.  For example, you can choose to only view the NIV, = or only the
NASB, etc.

Along with this, the number of passages and verses has been dramatically =
increased ... from 430/3370 to 2232/14390 !=20

There are ten Bible translations available, including the ASV, ISV, KJV, = NASB,
NET, NIV, NKJV, NLT, NRSV, and RSV.  Note that the previous = update, 3.3.01b,
added the capabilities to Add-Passage and Edit-Passage.

For His glory and honor,
Lynn Allan

From: PRICE Clyde

Rebecca,

I believe that there are some "flashcard" programs
available for the Palm platform. There are also
several Bible programs available for the PalmOS, and I
use the one from OliveTree.com. They have a boodle of
free Bible versions available for download, and a
large number of copyrighted versions available for
online sale.

If anybody has written a PalmOS program specifically
for Scripture memory, I'm not aware of it, but I think
that the flexibility of the "flashcard"-type programs
would make the necessary learning-curve worthwhile...
On the other hand, the slower data-entry into the Palm
device would make perfectly entering the correctly
spelled and punctuated Scripture passage pretty
difficult. Although I have made a LOT of use of my
Handspring Visor as a pocket-sized large-print Bible
reading machine, I don't think that it had occurred to
me to use it as a memory-drill coach...  To my way of
thinking, there's still a place for PAPER for some
things... And for me, Scripture memory is definitely
one of them.

Subject: Hello Everyone!
From: David Baldwin

Dear All,

I'm so very pleased to have found this discussion list on Scripture memory!
I've searched the web high and low and have found distressingly little
information on this O-so-important spiritual discipline.  I look forward to
'virtually' getting to know you through this correspondence and hope that we
will be mutually encouraged by one another's faith.

I suppose I need to give the obligatory introduction of myself now!  I began
memorizing Scripture about 10 years ago as a result of the excellent example of
my wife.  She was always quoting Scripture and I was impressed but skeptical as
to the ROI; i.e., return on investment. Certainly I could appreciate the
discipline required to memorize but questioned the value to do so as I could
read large passages much more easily than memorizing even a few verses.  I
thought to myself, however, that I couldn't knock what I hadn't tried, so I
plunged in and began an adventure that has more greatly affected my life than
anything else during these past ten years.


In addition to memorizing the Word, I've been very interested in presenting the
fruits of my labor in theatrical settings.  I've found that dramatically
presenting Scripture while remaining faithful to the text provides insight and
encouragement to audiences - insight into the meaning of the text and
encouragement to memorize and meditate on God's Word.  Thus I'm particularly
interested in hearing from others who share a common interest.

During my web search I read of a gentleman intending to memorize the New
Testament over the course of 10 years.  I wish I could say I had learned so much
of the Word over the 10 years I've been memorizing but, alas, I'm no where
close.  I've realized as I've contemplated the math of my latest project - The
Acts of the Apostles - that I must pick up the pace and do some serious,
disciplined study if I expect to finish the book in any reasonable amount of
time.  I hope that this group might play some role in holding my feet to the
fire to insure that this happens.


In Christ,


David Baldwin

From: James W. Barrett

My name is James and I weigh every word I say or write very carefully. I don't
want to be stand-offish but I realize I act that way and con't help it.

I've been on the list quite a while and for the most part I just read mail.  I
hardly ever write.

I was raised a Nazerine. Scripture memorezation was expected of us. As a reward
for memorizing and bringing another person to Sunday School one might get to
read a missionary's letter to the congregation, for instance. If one was really
into it and could get a sponser one could get into the Navigator program. To get
a pin one had to recite 1500 verses and answer the questions. For me getting the
sponser was the hard part. Befor I could be in it long enough to get my pin they
bought a piece of ground and built a new Church and moved. It was too far away.

In the interviening years I've had chemo-therapy and I can tell it in memory. I
still like getting up in church and doing something like Romans ten or two
Timothy -two.

The way I was taught to study was to take the John books first. I started with
the First book of John, then the second, then the third, then the Gosple of
John, then the book of Revelations. I was taught to read the same seven chapters
over and over for a month and then move on to the next seven. I was taught to
memorize using the book of Mark first. By doing this I was taught almost 600
verses of Mathew without being in the book, same story for a little over 300 in
Luke. Mayby this will help you on the path.

I wish to thank you all for the inverse scripture tool. I use it daily.

I sign     II Tim 2:4
James
