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...

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.

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. --Clyde --- Rebecca Steadman wrote: > Do you know whether there is any software available > for the Palm Vx > handheld?

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.

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.
