MarkAnthony,

I was on a missions trip in July of 2017 in Nicaragua where I met a pastor of a small village church who was physically blind. He had a braille Bible but claimed that he had memorized the entire thing. I was completely skeptical upon hearing it, but listening to him preach and spending a couple of days with him, my skepticism was short lived. I certainly believe that it is possible, but like any and all of this, I also believe this is a function of the Spirit, calling, vocation, etc. I don't think that at my age, stage of life, vocation, calling, etc., that memorizing the whole Bible is something I would even consider undertaking. However, I will say that what joosep, you, online247, and many others are doing on this site is edifying and helpful in unimaginable ways. To me, it is about knowing our God and savior Jesus Christ more fully.

Joosep,

Can't wait to read the blog!

Thanks, MarkAnthony!

I agree. I still don't know if tackling an entire book is the way to go, but I am committed at this point. I will have to see how this next one goes to decide. Keep up the good work in John and Genesis!

MarkAnthony! I actually started with John on this site... John 1:1 with the intent to memorize John. But I had just finished teaching Mark and kept revisiting it, so I switched. I hope to one day get back to John, however, I want to do an epistle next... I & 2 Peter, Hebrews, or Romans are in the running. BTW, anyone have a favorite commentary recommendation to share for any of those? My favorite Mark commentary is by William Lane.

Joosep, Thanks! Slowly but surely... and I am beginning to seriously consider what book is next.

IKR, slowly but surely!
