That is astounding TMG. May God continue to bless you as you push towards him!

Thanks, onfire247! I do value the work, but my points are adding up a lot faster than my actual verses. One big praise. Listening to sermons on the chapters of Mark I have memorized is so amazing. Knowing the text really stretches you. It is so good to see this group learning so much of the word! Awesome,

I'd like to add my congratulations as well. Good job.

Good job moviegoer I agree about listening to sermons, knowing some scripture has really enhanced my appreciation.

Wonderful accomplishment, TheMoviegoer!

yippee.... great job.

The points are secondary to storing the Word in your heart Psalm 119:11 but they do signify the great effort you have put into learning God's Word. Congratulations and keep sharing those valuable insights on your journey. Thankyou!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Well done on all your scripture memorisation that’s behind those big numbers 👏

The points are cool, but it is each of you all adding encouragement that is great. Quick follow up question: how often do you recite what you memorize apart from site?

Sometimes use verse when praying or sharing

Amen, Goodnews. That's really an awesome "fruit" of using this website -- verses come more quickly and accurately to mind when in fellowship with other believers ... and then hopefully, by the Spirit of God, becoming a blessing to that other person

To answer your question TheMoviegoer, my wife and I read the Bible to each other each morning, usually about fifteen verses at a time. She's graciously agreed that we read aloud verses which I'm working on here at LS dot net. As for recitation, I have it in mind to begin doing that once I've gotten my queue to be more manageable ... if I can discipline myself to not add too many new verses, then sometime soon I'll have more time and would like to begin some true recitation. Thanks for reminding me (us) of that, TheMoviegoer!

I never recite what I learn here elsewhere. I start off my day by doing my new verse, then my reviews. Then I move on with my busy life. I will occasionally focus on one section of Scripture if I feel it is not really sticking and I have extra time one day, but usually it is just once a day. The reviews alone take up about an hour a day for me. When I first started I was doing my reviews 4-5 times a day, but that just got overwhelming once I crossed the 300 verse mark.

I've tried lots of different memorization styles since starting here. One of my favorites at the beginning was to memorize a set of five new verses through recitation before I even touched the website. I would also recite those when I was in the shower. I thought initially that it was improving my retention, but after the two week interval mark, those chapters were no more memorized than the rest. None of my other experiments have improved my retention either. In fact, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. Some verses stick, and others don't no matter what I do.

I think I'm going to create a translation of the Bible that is easier to memorize than what's available now. I'm fairly certain after memorizing nine chapters of John that ease of memory played no part in the translation process. On the contrary, sometimes in my darker days I think the authors of John intentionally tried to make the book impossible to memorize. It is probably not their fault, honestly. That just seems to be the way they wrote back then, and the translators are just doing the best they can with what they have.

Aside from this site, I like to recite some verses before I get out of bed in the mornings, when I ‘m out for my walks, and also just before I fall asleep at bedtime.

Me too Symota ... I also love to sing the Psalms while cooking, folding laundry, driving to work. haha... but only when i am alone! Can't wait for my heavenly body and heavenly voice. Also I have one of those lil voice recorders and i read the passage I am working on. I can listen or recite while it plays. Keeps many tracks for reviewing.

I prefer singing the Scriptures also 🎵🎼🎶🎹🎤

Symota, I recite while walking. But I tend to really be involved, so I am sure it is pretty comical to the average observer

Symota, I meant to say, “I too, recite while walking.”

TheMoviegoer, others probably assume that you are talking on your phone when they see your expressions as you’re walking:)
mrsmoo and janet23, where do you get the tunes for the psalms that you sing or do you compose them yourselves?

I listen to Ester Mui. She has a YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLWHNkhCKvijdq59bFq0bQw and also a website: https://scripturesongsindex.blogspot.com/2020/02/blog-post.html Sometimes it challenges my testing as she uses NKJV.... But I am so blessed by her music.

Haha, true, Symota! And mrsmoo, I will check out the YouTube Channel. It sounds very interesting (don't mind NKJV).

Thanks, mrsmoo, for the links.

Thanks for sharing the Esther Mui link. I think I’ll find that helpful 💕👍
