Welcome to Learn Scripture, knty31 and studyingforbiblebee! I hope that you will find this app useful and that you will be blessed as you hide God's word in your hearts. :-)
Congratulations, TheMoviegoer! 10M is evidence of time well spent. Don't be too discouraged - it takes time and persistance to move the verses from short term memory to long term memory. Scripture memory is a marathon, not a sprint. And God blesses us along the way. :)
I really appreciate Psalm 146 - especially around election time. :) It is a good reminder that so much of what many look to government to provide God perfectly cares for - our trust should always be in Him.
I also love Psalm 63:8. What joy! Even as our soul follows after God, all along He is holding us in His hand - safe and secure.
Yes, thank you for all that you share. I have also used some of your sets - and appreciate _so much_ your suggestion about using individual verse sets of 4 verses to practice those thorny passages that just don't seem to stick. :)
Would just like to wish my Learn Scripture friends a wonderful day celebrating our Lord's resurrection. How great our joy and gratitude! (The Every People, Tongue, and Nation Group seemed like the best place to post this.) 😊
Joosep, I just started an individual verse set and really liked the continuity of having 4 verses together. Thanks for the idea - I expect to use this method often.
Onfire247, I have used that method for lowering the progress level (sometimes intentionally, sometimes not). It works well when I'm at 97-99% and know that I don't want to finish the verse yet - just back off a bit.
PeterP, I always do "test instead of read" and find it helpful both for review and continuity when reciting a passage.
MrsSpooner, I also like to listen to sermons on specific passages that I am learning or thinking about. Sermon Audio has many sermons that can be chosen by scripture reference, as well as by speaker or topic.
These are all helpful ideas. Thank you all for sharing. Another method I use sometimes when hitting a rough patch is to simply go to verse progress, choose a verse, and then choose to practice the verse or section or passage. You don't earn points or badge levels, but you can practice the passage by testing.
What you call old fashioned, Joosep, I call effective. ;) It is how I have memorized for many years. I like using this app, too. It keeps me practicing during the day. If I'm memorizing from my Bible I usually just do it as a part of devotional time.
Thanks for your idea of setting up individual verse sets of the challenging passages. I'm looking forward to trying it.
