Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 10:14 PM Subject: Keeping yesteryear's memory work fresh From: David Baldwin Hey Mark, What a great way to memorize Scripture! You've found a way to make Scripture memory exciting and interesting not just for you, but for others as well. Good job! A question for those you who have memorized large portions of Scripture: How do you keep all your memorized work in your head all the time? I've wrestled with this for many years now and recently came up with a system that I think will work. I by no means claim that the system is perfect and would sure appreciate other ideas. For those who are interested I'll outline what I'm doing: 1) Supermemo o Supermemo is a memory program located at supermemo.com. It's not exactly user-friendly and I wouldn't spring for the $40.00 price tag unless you're a computer geek as I am, but it does seem quite powerful. Basically, I've got it set up to quiz me on my Scripture memory on a daily basis. Those passages I do well on I don't see again for a while. But those passages that I recite poorly I see quite frequently until I get them down! 2) A microphone o So if I just quoted a chapter, how do I know I really got every word correct? Well I've got a microphone hooked up to my computer so that I can review and keep myself honest! 3) Stay hungry! o I so appreciate Mark's approach because he's found a way to keep the Word from becoming dry. I realize that it is evidence of my own carnal nature, but sometimes memorizing Scripture is more a chore than a pleasure. To combat this I look for opportunities to present the Bible on stage. Scripture is quite effective in oral presentation (I'm sure many of you own recordings of the Bible) and sharing that effectiveness with others is an opportunity that gives me joy and keeps me motivated. Thanks in advance for input. David -----Original Message----- From: Mark Connor [mailto:mcon1yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 9:32 AM To: biblememmemoryverses.org Subject: Re: HI hi Pam. I do have an easy way to memorize, but it isn't for everyone. But since you asked I thought I would post it. What motivates me is, I am helping out a local Bible Quiz program at a church. Bible Quiz is for 7th - 12th grade, and is in several denominations. That way you can get motivated to memorize, as well as impact young people for God. (the kids think it is so great if you memorize it along with them) Depending upon the program, they can memorize 15 to 50 verses a week. And this year we are just starting on the book of John. Which I've discovered (again) is an awesome book! so for me, without BQ, I don't know what could motivate me. maybe thats why I like it so much. God bless, Mark the, quote, coach. www.biblequiz.com --- Pam Dolsey wrote: > HI I am new here.. I was wondering if any one has an > easy way to memorize > scripture.

From: WINTER Heard about Bible Memorization on Christian Radio. Start with verse one of a chapter on the first day of the week. Follow with verse two on the second. If the chapter has fewer than 30 verses, you review the whole chapter in the remaining days of the month.
