PeterP started learning John 1:1-14

Hello PeterP! Do you plan to go through John in order? I have that plan in the back of my mind, and have added and worked on several chapters of John, but now I'm distracted with and working on something else ... anyway, the Gospel of John is a wonderful blessing. Have a good day.

Hi Joosep. No, to set off on the whole of John would be rather too ambitious for me, given that my maximum speed on this app is about 1 new verse per day. I have gone through all of Ephesians in order though - just need to add Ephesians 6 now. Other than that I'm mainly consolidating sections, to put some of the individual verses into their context. God bless you!

Thank you PeterP! To be frank, I haven't actually memorized much since joining this site back in May, if we speak of precise word for word memorization. My goal is more to meditate on large portions of God's Word. And it has been a great blessing to me in that way. So, my numbers may be a bit misleading.

Context is so very important. When we look at a verse, we must ask ourselves, what is it's meaning in the context of that passage? that chapter? that book or letter, and in the Bible as a whole? or in the context of that event that was happening at that very moment in time, in history? It's nice to hear people speak of context :)
