So the goal here is to try to learn one new verse a day, and then continue practicing your recently learned verses. You can do more or less, but one per day is a good goal. Then you can use the leaderboard for this group to track how each other are doing. Good luck and may this challenge bless us all. :)
Yeah, the gamification is a great motivation when we get started, but it can quickly cause burn out if we don't fall in love with the process itself and continue at it. Just look at my history on this site... :P
THank you, Joosep. May we all keep moving forward. :D I'm working through Romans 12 right now, and meditating on it while trying to memorize it is exactly the message that I need to hear right now.
I did too much too fast last time and when I broke my streak I just didn't care anymore lol. Now I'm trying to take it slower and just catch up with all my verses without trying to learn something new every day.

I started with individual verses, and then moved to larger passages that had meaning to me, but now I'm just trying to focus on chapters or entire books. I finished John 1, and now I'm working on the book of Colossians.
Also, you get points for reviewing. The more often you review, the more points you get. Especially in a shorter amount of time. Someone who checks the site twice a day will rack up points a lot slower than someone who is on 6 times a day. :D
Joosep, yeah... I've reset a few times... I keep switching what version I want to memorize scripture in and I keep leaving for a while and coming back and getting overwhelmed.... I need to stick with it! :D
