I use Learn Scripture for the same reason, not so much to be able to recite the verses, but to meditate on Scripture in a deeper way than simply just reading the Bible. But memorisation should hopefully come and yes, I'll pray that you'll be able to memorise more verses next year. :)
I simply don't know all the things I don't know! :) But levity aside, I agree that I'm learning new things all the time about the Lord by using this site.
Thanks Peter. That's good. I'd prefer it to go back into the cycle if I don't know it that well, and lately I've only been adding passages rather than single verses. So, it seems Learn Scripture will work it all out for me! :) :)
Thanks for that joosep! I hadn't read that. Well, if I do eventually learn the whole Bible, or at least the whole NT, I might think about learning it all again. Just for the points. ;) But seriously, as JDJDJD indicated, there may be a need for further revision with certain verses.
Thanks again. And JDJDJD, 84% is not too bad though! But maybe it comes off your "memorised verses" and you have it up for learning more frequently again? Not sure how it all works.
I blinked, and you zoomed past me! (No hard feelings, I was well prepared for this day... :-) ). But seriously, congratulations on the faithfulness you have demonstrated in learning a little every day over such a long time now. May the Lord bless you through the word he has spoken to you.
I'm sure you're doing better than you think. I've had some verses on the go for nearly 3 years and just can't get them into my head at all! I've just revised one now from 3 years ago and still got only 84%! 😕

Annette, I would just like to clarify that at this link http://learnscripture.net/review-schedule/ it says "...the gaps will keep increasing, until the verse is considered fully learnt after about 1 year, at which point it is retired and not tested any more.". So once verses are fully learnt, there's no more testing; unless I suppose one wanted to reset them and start again the learning process :)

Congratulations, Annette. You zoomed past me too! And another point about fully learning verses: I have noticed that a completed verse does get retested, if it is part of a longer passage that you start. Then if you don't get it over 90% or so, it goes back into the cycle again. (Like JDJDJD, I have several verses from over 2 years ago that I never seem to get quite right!)

Yes, I understand what you mean joosep. And even though I have been a Christian for many years, there are so many things I have never known, or actually taken in, regarding who He is (of what is revealed to us through Scripture).
I haven't added Daniel or Revelation yet. Perhaps I should! I am getting a little mixed up with the letters - as to which verses are in which letter. I guess it doesn't matter too much about that though. Daniel and Revelation really would be good to learn, in fact the whole Bible would be good to learn! Hmmm.
