PeterP, I reset part of Luke 1:67-80, which is Zacharias' prophesy. I've been going through Isaiah chapter by chapter (by going through, I mean more old-fashioned reading than I mean LSN reviews for memorization). As I do each chapter then I listen to a summary on youtube prepare by a particular Bible teacher. Here is his summary and teaching on Isaiah 32. https://youtu.be/Q1bR6OyshII?si=E6a6ucBPNYjVYY0K I reset the verses because I was struck recently by the correlation between some passages of OT prophecy and Zecharias' prophecy when his tongue was loosed. It made me want to repeat them all over again, so I reset them :)
I'm doing fine, thank you for asking :) Late tomorrow I'll create a "progress report" for Luke. (I said earlier that I'd do that every three months). I'm working on a variety of other areas in the scriptures too, and listening to Bible teachings about those verses. I feel blessed.

I understand. Well, it's simply a good thing to keep repeating God's Word and to humble ourselves and listen to Him, allow Him to speak to us through His word and change us. If that is what we are doing here, it's a very good thing.
If you have some insights from the first 3 chapters of 1 Peter which you would like to share, I would like very much to hear them, and I'm sure others would feel the same :)
I want to emphasize here that I'm not aiming for perfect recitation of Luke; I just don't want anyone to misunderstand. I'm aiming rather for as thorough a knowledge of this gospel as I can attain, through a lot of scheduled repetition. If I make mistakes on a couple of verses and they go backwards, I don't worry about it; I'm concerned more with the overall grasping of Luke, rather than one verse. That being said, it's only the method I myself am using; I have great respect for people like you Moviegoer, or FinalAsgard, who have set recitation as their goal. I just feel it's important to be transparent in this :)
Hello Moviegoer! Nice to hear from you. Ephesians 5; I added that as a kind of "medicine", needing to meditate on some of the truths contained there :) As to Luke, I'm still working on it and have a long way to go :) The set I most recently added was The Rich Man and Lazarus, Luke 16:19-31. I haven't even begun Luke 17-24 yet (with a few exceptions). I promised to give a full report of the progress every three months and that will come on 5 November. But I've been blessed greatly working on Luke and as I've said before .. it will certainly take years to finish .. if I don't die before then, or if the Lord doesn't return before then. ---- How are things going for you with 1 Peter?

First, I applaud your efforts on Luke without aiming for perfect recitation. While my work on Mark was with a desire for perfect recitation, I am still not there. I am not sure I will ever get there. It is a monumental task, and by way of encouragement, I have benefited much much more from a more thorough knowledge, emphasis, and focus on Mark than recitation can give. I Peter is radically different. I feel like letters are easier to get right in terms of recitation, but they are much more compressed in terms of depth. So, I am progressing ok (1st three chapters done), I don't feel like I get it yet. It's coming.
Always good to hear from you Joosep. Thanks for your faithfulness to the work!

Well done! I'm sure, that as you're repeating these verses which the Lord has led you to add, that you are increasing in your knowledge of Him and of His ways.
jcosimi, Congratulations on reaching that goal! your persistence in working diligently on this site will bear fruit, I truly believe! (and most likely has already borne fruit)
I wrote that in a big hurry this morning. I will try to clarify: If one adds only one verse a day, or maybe 3 per week, it's quite doable that this site can help you attain solid scripture memory. If a person adds a lot more verses, then he or she will need to put some thought into how to manage everything :) That's what I meant when I said I partially agree, partially disagree All in all, I want to commend you for being here and putting in the time which enabled you to reach ten million. It shows your desire for God's Word and your desire to know Him better and walk in His paths. May we all do the same.
Retry, if I may comment, I partially agree with you and partially disagree. If one does not add many verses, then it can be very useful for solid scripture memory; for example, for any verse presenting a problem, you can use the practice option while reviewing, and keep repeating that verse until you have it down cold. You can also press the Back button on your browser and review the passage again. In that case you have to tick the check-box "Test instead of read". You can keep repeating the passage until you have it down cold. You can also use the "Progress" page to find the passage in question and practice it before it comes due. In my opinion, the problem comes in when people add a large number of verses and then find it difficult to manage them. Consider that scenario, I agree with you. This site has a learning curve, with respect to learning how to use it in the best way. But the most important thing, after all, is to draw near to God through His word, to love Him, to allow Him to teach us and change us through His Word. Thanks for listening, and I congratulate you on the ten million points!
I would like to add my congratulations! As has been said many times before, I continue to be blessed by how using this site causes me to notice the things written in God's Word more deeply than otherwise. I'm sure you are experiencing and have experienced the same, Luli2016. May the Lord bless You with greater knowledge of Him and closeness to Him and His ways!
I agree with you. I can at least read it again, and I'll be sure to do that. As to reviewing it here on LSN, I suppose I'll get to ch. 24 early next year, but then I'll also have the whole of Luke prior to that to work on. Unless Jesus returns first.
That's a wonderful passage, PeterP. I look forward to the day when I can work on it too :) But, since I've resolved to go through Luke in order, that day won't come, for me, for some time :) At the moment my "new" Luke passages are in chapter 13.
