I have to say, that after making such a point about "four individual verses at a time", that now I've decided to use passage sets instead. I feel a bit annoyed with myself, that I can't make up my mind. But with four verses at at time, I ended up, of course, seeing everything out of order; Galatians 2:14 - 17 after Galatians 2:18-21, for example. So, I'm starting over. Well, it's a work in progress :) And in the meantime I'm really thinking a lot about some particular verses, which perhaps was God's intention for me.
Thank you for your compliments and encouragement, Robinshe :) The truth of the matter is, a lot of the verses I am memorizing are verses I had previously "memorized" on another website, memverse.com. I say "memorized" because I don't think I learned many of them perfectly enough to perfectly recite them. Anyway, that has a lot to do with how many points I've accumulated. Here at learnscripture.net I also like to group them into four individual verses, so that I can see all of it at the same time :) Thanks Robinshe and have a nice day :)
Yes, I too pray that more people will join this site and others like it. People think it is too difficult to memorize, but actually it's not as difficult as thought, in my opinion. And besides that, just the process of trying to memorize a verse is already a great blessing -- as we attempt to memorize, we think more slowly and reflectively about God's Word. In my opinion, it's a valuable spiritual discipline.
agreed. Since I've begun meditating on God's word (through memorization, or even just in the process of memorizing) my wife says I've become more peaceful. I'm grateful to God for his patience and mercy.
And I see you´re doing great! Congratulations on holding the top place here for so long! (graetzmi and frogs are providing tough competition!) I personally would never have learned this much by heart without the combination of forced repetition and competitive instincts! I think the point system is really well designed, because people who are relatively new have just the right opportunities to get new rewards a little more often, and can immediately compete strongly against others who have been here for a while. And as last week´s points keep expiring, you also end up continually competing with yourself just to keep up. Glad you like it here!
