I haven't heard from anyone on this list for some time, so I thought I'd throw out some information and a question to see if we can get going again. I have been memorizing scripture seriously since July,2004. Had done some before that but like others wasn't consistent. My longest passage so far has been Psalm 34. Now I think the Lord may be calling me to memorize the book of Romans. I'd love to hear from others who have or are memorizing this book. Like how God used it in your life and/or the lives of others. Also I don't memorize the number of each verse when I do long passages, but I read an article on the web yesterday that recommended doing this, and said that it actually makes memorization easier in the long run. The author suggests saying like Romans 1:1, then reciting that, 1:2 then recite that verse, etc. through all of the verses. What I have done has been to recite just the book and chapter when I memorize a full chapter, or the book, chapter and range of verses for a longer passage. What do you think? How much of an address do you out there memorize?

Memorize the first verse, last verse, and all verses divisible by 5 in a chapter(example vs 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 etc. These are my "anchor verses" and I memorize them "cold". When I can recite them fluently then I am ready to "fill in the blanks". The tension of memorizing isolated verses is resolved when the blanks are filled in, the passage emerges and the whole chapter comes into focus, complete with sentence and paragraph structure. The result also seems to be that when I quote Scripture I can usually mentally identify my "anchor verses" and be able to figure out quickly the logical verse number of the verses surrounding it. In my opinion, actually verbalizing every verse number would fracture the flow of the passage, seem robotic and detract from the wonderful fluid writing of this Apostle. However, being able to quickly "figure out" the verse number also seems very important and, at least for me, the above "anchor verse" method works pretty well.

I know what you're thinking and you're right in that there's not a lot of 'bible songs' out there (especially whole books of the Bible). Yet i'm presently working on singing the entire book of Matthew (niv) all with accompaning instruments (a cinematic style so it will 'fit the tastes' of most people). I've already memorized the first 8 chapters effortlessly, without 'trying' to do so. Sometimes i will literally hear portions of text 'speak to me' during certain times of the day (spiritual choices, witnessing, needed encouragement, etc). When i used to 'labor' at memorizing the scripture through certain 'technics' it just didn't seem to work as well; of couse it could be just me. Keep memorizing the ways you think are best by all means. Just give 'bible songs' a try. It's fun and memorable at the same time :) My goal is to place the entire NT to song before i die.

It is a boys club of boy ages 12-18. We are taking on a project of memorizing Romans 12 and then challenging other clubs to do the same. Our goal is to recite Romans 12 in our church on Fathers Day as a group. Our dream is to begin challenging groups of men to also memorize Romans 12 and recite the passage together on Fathers Day in their local church. It would be neat to see men's ministries take on such a challenge. I can't help but dream of the changes that would take place if men's lives and their families if they would memorize the chapter. What I looking for is if someone has put Romans 12 to music. It someone has, I would like to hear it. I think it would be easier to memorize if put to music.
