Excellent idea and excellent passages.👍
Sorry Gary I’ve already posted all the verses for Year 2. You and your wife will have to pick your own project to work on. Maybe memorize all of 1 Corinthians 13 or Psalm 1.
So ready for just one new verse to work in the next or coming days. Thanks. :)
Sorry, poorly edited post: only one solution listed. There is another that involves individual members marking duplicate verses as not memorized and then syncing their account.
FYI, I created a test group of verses and played with it to understand the situation. I found at least two different solutions to the multiple verse issue. The one Gary suggests (for the group member to delete one occurrence of the duplicate verses from their personal list) is the easiest solution. Two solutions offered in next post. So … if any group members ever have more verses than 52 verses, as of 3/29, then they must locate and delete one of the two copies of 1 Thess 5:16, 17, 18 from your personal list. Feel free to see me if you need help.
Thanks Steve. Once the duplicate verse is memorized, the extra verses are now stored permanently in a individuals verse listing. The only way to remove the duplicate verse is for that individual to personally delete it from their phone.
I have sincerely tried to find the problem. I do not know where the duplicate verses came from. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 only shows up once on my master list. If you or Colleen have any ideas how to correct the problem I am willing to listen and give them a try.
Thanks. I feel that some still have duplicate verses of 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 listed singly and as a group. Could you address this matter so that we all have 52 verses? Thanks.
I count 52 verses in my master list.
Steve, do we have 55 verses or 52 verses so far?
I agree Gary. To see God’s Word come alive amongst us is so exciting and encouraging to experience.
Great time at church today. So many of these verses, where are used to encourage the body. It was refreshing to see so many people encouraging each other after the church service today.
Thank you for your encouragement, Robert. Words of encouragement are so powerful. They are like what Proverbs 25:11 describes,”A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.”
Hi Steve,Thank you for getting us started on this App!!! I have really benefited from it, and been blessed by finally getting into Bible memorization. Praise God for giving us the Scriptures to guide our lives! Robert D.
thank you Steve for encouraging us in the faith. Jesus‘s words are so powerful and it is encouraging to have his word in our heart as we go through life. Also, it’s Christmas today and so I just wanted to say. Merry Christmas to my Bridgeport family.
I’m also cheering for the rest of you who are working hard at memorizing. Keep up the good work. Each of you are an encouragement to me.
I want to encourage all of you with 0 verses current. I’m cheering for you to establish this life-changing discipline in your life. And what a great time of year to start afresh.
The encouragement from like-minded brothers and sisters persevering on this journey is so powerful. Thank you!
Thanks Kim. This reminds me of Psalm 119:11 - I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
thanks for all your Godly examples to me of persevering in memorizing Gods Word....it encourages me daily! Kim w.
Thanks for the three new verses, Steve! At least they were ones I had already been working on memorizing on my own, so that helped!
John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. Another good reason to memorize and keep in God’s word.
Thanks for the encouragement Steve. 1Timothy 4:15 Take pains with these things;be absorbed in them,so that your progress will be evident to all.
Consistency’s the key to memorizing Scripture. I encourage you to set a daily goal (something like review 10 verses per day) and be consistent.
Thank you for spurring me on to hide God’s Word in my heart.
I just wanted let those of you who are actively using this app know that you are a great encouragement to me each night as I check in to see how you are doing.
A couple of you caught that I posted the first verse from the next 25 verses we will be starting in September. I just thought I’d give you a little head start. Keep up the great work!
Hi Steve, emoji characters are from standard message text. Sorry, to some I am known as Mr. emoji.
Welcome to the group! My only problem is that I’m not sure who I’m talking to.
where did you get the emojis?
hi Steve. Just now noticing your May 4 post. Thank you for praying. Prayers answered. So glad to have God’s word memorized to share with others. Gary
What a blessing to see new names on the list tonight. If any of you have questions about the app and how it works please contact me and I will do my best to help you. Some people prefer a different translation and you can easily change that. I’m just excited to walk this journey with you of memorizing 100 verses.
Thank you, Steve. it was already added to my list when I came back on here this evening.
Hi Robert - I’m so encouraged to have you participating in the group. Matthew 22:37 is the new verse to add,but I’m having difficulty getting the app to let me download it. You can add it individually to your own list. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep trying to figure out this app from my end.
Good morning, Steve! Have any new verses for us? I have used up all these 19 we have so far. Praise the Lord for this App. I am finally motivated to memorize verses. Thanks!
I’m glad to hear that you were able to resolve your problem. I also got a great report from Susanna about the young adults meeting last night. Thank you, God!
Steve, never figured out the issue, so marked all verses as not memorized and redid the whole list. Problem solved.
I don’t know the answer to your question. Once in a while I have an odd little too, but I usually have been able to figure it out in time. I’m just blessed that you and Gary are doing this together. I’m also praying much for your gathering on Friday night.
Hi Steve. All 19 verses are up to date for me, but it only shows 17? I imagine this may relate to the fact that 2 verses are also in another group and I recently updated their frequency. I just went through all 19 verses to make sure all are done, but still only shows 17. Also closed app and restarted. still no change. Not the biggest problem in the world as I can still use the app and memorize. Just thought you should know.
Thanks! I'm able to now add. :)
Oops! new verse to your personal list.
I’m having a problem with the app allowing me to add new verses. I’m trying to get an answer to the problem. Meanwhile I think you can add the
Thanks Steve for leading us in memorization. Will you adding more verses soon ?
Thank you, Steve. I encourage everyone to invite another to join this group. Would love to see this group grow. 🙏
I’m glad you are enjoying it, Gary.
This is a fun way to memorize God’s Word. “Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.” Ephesians 6:17
Thanks for your encouraging words, Kim. We all need them.
thanks for challenging us last Sunday, Steve. Memorizing God's word has transformed my walk with God. Don't pay attention to my points...I didnt realize my total points for the memory app would show up but I want to be in this group to learn the verses from Bridgeport too.
I’m excited about all the new members in the last 24 hours. Praise the Lord!
Let’s see if we can get all our verses current by Thanksgiving.
I’m testing out what I can do on this app and the same time say Thank you for joining the group.
