Since this is a site with a lot of supportive online friends, I'll add a bit to what I posted back on 11 February ...

I've been using both Learnscripture and Memverse. I find both to be a great blessing, but in different ways, as they have different approaches to learning Scripture.

My wife and I have also begun teaching a Bible study which will last twelve weeks all total. This week we will take a look at the Samaritan woman in John Chapter 4. Any and all prayers are appreciated :)

I find this website, learnscripture.net , to be very, very helpful in preparing to teach a Bible study. I add the verses a week or so before the study takes place, and then they are in my queue every single day, and so I've meditated on them a lot by the time I actually teach that passage.

I wish to you all God's blessings in knowing Him and finding grace and peace in Him. Thanks for reading and all for now ...

thanks for putting that set together :) I'm sure it will be a blessing to people.

amen

:)

I extend my welcome as well. :)

That's nice work. I've done portions of Romans, chapters 1-3, 12, 14 ... but someday I hope to add the rest, either here or on Memverse :)

Jesus is our elder brother! Hebrews 2:11

nice going and keep up the good work!

amen. God is good.

Nice job to get to 15 million! I imagine that you are greatly blessed going through the Gospel of John. It's fascinating how his style is so distinct from that of the other Gospels. Perhaps it was because he was "the disciple whom Jesus loved". A greater intimacy with the Lord produced a different style ... ? Of course Jesus loved all the disciples, but there was something special about His relationship with John.

What verses or chapters are you working on these days ? :)

nice going! Deuteronomy 11:18-19 :)

amen

Deuteronomy 11:18-21. That passage also is worth taking a look at :)

once again I give my congratulations! Memorizing God's Word in such a way has surely been a blessing to you, and I'm sure God uses His Word in you to bless other people too.

I've struggled with that a lot too, and I finally decided to focus on the old reviews for now. Of course, I was adding perhaps too many. But, each person has to do it according to what the Lord shows them.

Hi By Grace Alone and JDJDJD. Yes, I also got the e-mail from Luke. And the last thing he wrote in the Google group is that he's hopeful to have someone take it over. I still plan to use this site every day. I just mainly really like the passage review feature at Memverse. But this site too is excellent. Also, at Memverse, I can add verses in Estonian. Estonian is not my native language (English is), but it's my wife's native language and it's where we live. So it's nice to be able to be a student of that language and study God's word at the same time :) So ... I hope that helps ...

Well, I just want to share this so that no one "worries" about me. I've been thinking a lot lately about slowing down and focusing more on accuracy with those verses that I've already added. As noted by other people here, when those small boxes go away, accuracy decreases a lot (at least in my own case).

Also at Memverse there is a feature called Passage Review, where you can be tested on your verses and yet see the entire passage at the same time. I (personally) really like this feature. It enables me to, during the entire test, think about the entire passage, as opposed to one verse at a time (but of course this excellent site does show the last line of the previous verse).

So, all that to say, I've been spending time at both sites lately. I don't write this to recommend one site above the other, only to share with "online friends" what I'm doing, so they will not fear that I've burnt out, or something like that. I'll still be here and hope that once I've caught up with my learnscripture verses, I'll start adding verses here again, perhaps one per day.

To everyone, God's peace and blessings and presence be with you.

Welcome Lycanis!

Good job, PeterP!

:)

I add my own encouragement and appreciation :)

Excellent. God be praised.

Praise the Lord! Keep it going, GSHd :)

Good one, Notofthisworld! :)

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 :)

Knee High Miah was one of the shortest men in the Bible .....

Hey I saw your post on the Leaderboard wall about memverse and this site. Did you get the email from Luke too? I might be joining you sometime soon...maybe?

I think Luke's last comment was that he's hopeful he's got someone to take over.
