Plans For Hope And Future
Jeremiah 29:11-15
11. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not evil, to give you an expected end.
12. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
14. And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
15. Because ye have said, The Lord hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;
Be Kind And Compassionate To One Another
Ephesians 4:29-31
29. Let no corrupt communication proceed our your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Psalms 51-1-10
1. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2. Wash me thoughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
5. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me know wisdom.
7. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
God Bless Everyone. I’m new to the group and on 1 John 1-10. I have been saved for two yrs and just so Blessed that God chose me. The changes He has made heart, mind, body and soul is amazingly powerful. Much grace and peace to you all. ♥️
God's Is Faithful To Forgive Us For Our Sins
1 John 1:5-10
5. This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declared unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sins.
8. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
The Lord is My Shepherd
Psalm 23:1-6
1. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2. He maketh me lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Resurrection Of The Dead
1 Corinthians 15:12-22
12. Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you there is no resurrection of the dead?
13. But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14. And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so that the dead rise not.
16. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17. And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept.
Defending Your Faith
1 Peter 3:8-
8. Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethern, be pitiful, be courteous:
9. Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrarwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing
10. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
11. Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensure it.
12. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
13. And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
14. But and if ye suffer for righteousness sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
15. But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that askest you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
16. Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
Saved By Gods Grace
Ephesians 2:3-10
3. Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lust of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6. And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus;
7. That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Jesus Christ.
8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Rest For Your Soul
Matthew 11:28-30
28. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
When Thomas Believes In The True Son Of God
John 20:26-31
26. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
27. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless but believing.
28. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
29. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
30. And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
31. But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing might have life through his name.
Keeping Yourself In God's Love
Jude 1:20-21
20. But ye, beloved people, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21. Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Trust In The Lord Shall Be Safe
Proverbs 29:25
25. The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.
When Trying Of The Faith Worketh Patience
James 1:2-6
2. My brethern, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3. Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4. But let patience have her perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not: and it shall be given him.
6. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a waver of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Christ Has Begotten US Again
1 Peter 1:3-5
3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
4. To an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you.
5. Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time
Be Of Good Courage
Psalm 27:11-12
11. I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
12. Wait on the Lord be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
Your Hearts And Minds In Jesus Christ
Philippians 4:4-7
4. Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
5. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6. Be careful for nothing: but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God.
7. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus
Jesus Heals A Man With The Palsy
Matthew 9:2-7
2. And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
3. And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
4. And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
5. For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
6. But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
7. But when the multitude saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
We Should Love Everyone
Matthew 5:38-45
38. Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39. But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
41. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43.Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.
44. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45. That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Example That Christ Is The True Son Of GodJohn 11:38-44
38. Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
40. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
41. Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42. And I knew that thou heardest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice Lazarus,come forth.
44. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him let him go.
He Want Let Us Go
John 10:22-30
22. And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
24. Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed me not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
26. But ye believed not, because ye are not my sheep, as I said unto you.
27. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30. I and my Father are one.
Standfast In The Faith
1 Corinthians 16:13-14
13. Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
14. Let all your things be done with charity.
Death Is Swallowed In Victory
Isaiah 25:8-9
8. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.
9. And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
Hope in God
Psalm 43:1-5
1. Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitiful and unjust man.
2. For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3. O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
4. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
5. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
Teaching of the Grace of God
Titus 3:1-8
1. Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2. To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
3. For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6. Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7. That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8. This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
Jesus Challenges Peter
John 21:15-19
15. So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
16. He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He said unto him, Yea Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
17. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
18. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedest thyself, and walkest whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt strech forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
19. This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
God Rescued Me From My Despair
Psalms 18:16-20
16. He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
17. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18. They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.
19. He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20. The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
Love Leads To Love
1 John 4:7-11
7. Beloved let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
Turning Together To God
Colossians 3:8-14
8.But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blastphem, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10. And have put on the new man , which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11. Where there is neither Greek nor Jew circumcision nor uncircumision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all and in all.
12. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness longsuffering;
13. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
Cure For Anxiety Philippians 4:4-9
4. Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
5. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6. Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God.
7. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8. Finally, brethern, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Hi, Haven, how nice to hear about your new kitties! I love cats too. The kittens are so fun to watch as they grow bigger and stronger and start tumbling over ea other!

Welcome, Haven, I 'm glad you have joined us! Be blessed! I love seeing the picture of you and your kitty!
HE IS RISEN INDEED JESUS DID CHARLOTTE THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD AND HE LOVES ME FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER EVERYDAY AND HE ROCKS!
I am currently going through 1 kings with audio. then I'll read it, review it, and, hopefully, get it memorized!
omg ,Charlotte! I thought this group was a group with people whose names starts with “j”
also please join my group memorize Gods word. Thank you
That's wonderful, Bible Memorizer! Most of my OT work is in the PS and Isaiah which I review in sequence monthly. But I am still working on Paul's letters! I love the book of Ruth and can testify of the watchcare of our wonderful LORD as I have been twice widowed. HE is ever faithful!!
Great! I just finished the book of Ruth and am memorizing 1 Kings!
Blessed Resurrection Sunday!! HE IS RISEN INDEED!!
I started Last Yr memorizing passages ea day of Passion Wk but putting them all in one Collection which made it hard to review day by day as it became a long listed with all Matt pasages grouped then Mark etc so that was when I decided to have a Collection for ea day and opened it as a group. Some of those that joined us had also learned some of the passages in other groups.
hey, Susan! you haven’t talked in a while!
Happy New Year, Charlotte! Happy New Year, everyone!
Happy New Year, everyone. May you stay well and productive !
thanks, Carlotte! I will try to keep that in consideration.
Bible Memorizer & hikergal, another thing I wanted to remind you of is that BM/ST is set up for review w points every 8 hrs (atltho' our set rev page uses daily, 1 day, etc) so when I AM LEARNING A NEW VERSE, I TRY TO PRACTICE IT TWICE EA DAY (EVERY 8 HRS) for a few days in a row, same for any passages I am having a hard time with! Once I master a larger passage, I RESET indiv vs and pairs (as if never mastered) but they are still listed on my verses page in their proper collection so they can be used to practice first before reviewing for mastery the larger passage. My big thing is "practice, practice, practice" which I sometimes also do in "long hand" w paper and pencil as I firmly believe that the forming of the words with our hand engraves it better in our minds! (Can you tell I use to be a teacher!?)
Hi, hikergal, sometimes some learn best by one method like by hearing or by seeing, some by what is called "rote memory" or repetitions, some in combination. I speak the verses out loud as I type them. I also do repetitions by practicing typing smaller sections before I try to review them for mastery in a larger section.
Thanks for the question, hikergal! I sometimes have the same problem, as well. What helps me is that I will read from it strait out of the Bible. I will read the passage that I want to memorize over and over until the time comes that I will be able to repeat it in my head without looking at the passage itself. I usually do it by paragraphs and they at the end connect all the paragraphs all together at the end. It is a very convenient way to memorize and then I am more able to type them out on Bible Memory. I have only done two years of Bible memorization really so I am not all that trained. I am still learning new techniques just like you. There is so much to learn every day!
I have memorized several chapters of the Bible and love this app, but the more I memorize, the harder I find it to perfectly recall the chapters I’ve memorized in the past. I do review regularly (bi-weekly), but...suggestions for keeping the chapters I’ve memorized perfect for recall?
Also I have memorized James so I got a few more verses for the group!
Wow! Thanks for the tip. Good news is that I have actually been doing the first letter only for two years. Thankfully they have made that section. I found out the “first letter only” a while back. I usually use my phone on the app and it auto set it to that mode. (: Thanks for the tip anyway!
I really appreciated the tip, Charlotte P. It really helped. I was needing a new technique for memorizing. Your tip has helped me memorize more and faster. Thanks a lot!
Hello, Anna, hope you and your family are staying well and are being encouraged by the Scriptures in these challenging days! Our LORD is ever gracious and faithful!
awesome! thanks for the tip. really helped!
Great goal! I am always thrilled to see young people learning Scripture passages! When I starting memorizing passages as a young wife, we had typewriters but no computers etc. I learned passages by writing them out long-hand, saying them out loud sometimes into a tape recorder and then checking for accuracy. Even though I now I type the Scriptures here, I still use pencil and paper to review ones that I am having trouble with as I believe that the Lord made our minds such that forming the words with our hands forms it more indelible in our brains! At 75 years old, I am still amazed at what God enables me to retain! So continue to learn and review often! Blessings as you do!
hi, Charlotte! I’m a teenager and I am trying to memorizing 530 verses this year. got any tips? appreciate it!
WOW, SUSAN!! SO pleased for you to accomplish all these! You & DiAnne amaze me with all the review you do. But after few more months of review they will go faster, at least my passages of John seem to have done so. I am working through the review of it and the "J" letters in less than a month and have added in 1 Pet 1 & 2 but the rest of the "P" letters will have to be looped in with doubling up as TWO months inbetw review is too long for me.
Yay! 😄So happy!! 🤗🎉I got 'em all! At least, until 16 hours from now when the next review comes up! 😏
WELCOME, Terrie ! Thanks for joining us! May you have added joy as you work on these passages!
come and join my group called everyone loves the bible!
I will try to have the "T" Group up & running in a day or two & will send you an invite. My verse count won't increase very fast until i progress more in the P Letters. But it will give us another option as will the C+ Letters as soon as I get them done. You will notice the list of book chapters are a little different since ST is set up numerically & alphabetically so 1 Thess 1-5 then 1 Timothy 1-6 are listed before 2 Thess & 2 Timothy but that will probably be the way I work on them anyway.
Yes, since i am a night owl, I don't like to do reviews in the mornings so when i can find time in the mornings i work on organizing new collections. I like to still memorize in order like all chapters of 1 Pet before 2nd Pet but still want to learn more so I already did Philemon, then started on Philippians & also Colossians since it is a bridge to the "T" letters & will be a head start for the "C+" letters. I've learned Philipp 1 &2 & Col 1 so far. I will start soon on imputing the verses for the Collections of 1 & 2 Cor., Ephs & Galatians & possibly Romans. Susan & I talked about how long the Cor. letters are so I will probably wait to learn them last.
got to love those typo's, the question was: where you thinking?
Charlotte, go for it girl!!! I would love to work on them at the same time and the "P" letters. Question, where you thing of the other letters as well? I really like the methodology that you have used in constructing these groups. It makes learning the entire chapters more fun and for me I am able to retain it more, than doing only single verses.
Actually, I was wrong. You get 7pts per verse if the verse is 100% accurate. At least, that's the case for the "first letter" version and I assume it is the same for the other accuracy version as well.
I have some T's already memorized so I would probably work on both at the same time.
Yes, you should try the "first letter" feature. I think you will love it!! It has enabled me to keep up with so many more verses! (Although I am still way behind on review....) The pts for mastery is still 6 pts/vs.
Susan & DiAnne, are either of you more interested in working on the "T" letters of Paul before finishing the "P"s? I am almost ready to launch it but don't feel pressured or obligated, just another option.
Ok, I have never tried the "type only first letter" but do use the " "ignore p". Your vs pt value then may be the same (6 pt/vs) ea time after mastery. I always wanted to ask someone what the pts for mastery by accuracy was. I had assumed when 0wpm were given that they did it by accuracy. My mind usually goes faster than my fingers can type even when speak it outloud as I usually do. I will have to give it a try.
I also do as you do and backup sometimes midverse.
I use the "type first letter of each word" option so that speeds things up a lot for me. Also, I chose the "ignore punctuation" feature.
I know ...that is the reason I use the mastery by typing speed since I am not a good typist (altho' my skills have greatly increased by the practice here) and I KNOW the Scripture very well but make typing errors as with it you can backup and even start over by hitting the review button again mid verse! I think the mastery points are lower but for me that doesn't matter as I am only in competition with MYSELF and SO THANKFUL to have this opportunity and capability to learn in this manner at my age!
Yes, I'm so excited to almost be done with these--trying to make that last push in Jude and 2 John to get the bigger passages! It's those little mistakes!! Grrr....
hello everyone I am inviting everyone in this group who is active to my group I just made named Active members ONLY. I am hoping to make a very active group. I am a very active person and I go on multiple times a day. I wan to have this active group to be able to share stuff and get answers quickly and that when questions are asked they get answered too. we can memorize together in a healthy environment of people from all around the globe!! I would gladly promote anyone who has verses to add or just them for you if you tell me which ones. thankyou for your consideration for joining my group!! may the Lord bless you all!!
Oh, WOW, Susan, great job!
Ok, knew you were probably close to finishing. I've be waiting to see what final verse count is since I reset all my indiv verses & most pairs & smaller grouped sections. I have a hard time getting all the review in even with just the larger sections!!
Not yet :-) there are still a few of the longer verses to learn. Blessings sweet sister!
Yeah, DiAnne, it looks like maybe you've completed everything topping out at 902 verses!! Congrats!!
Hi, Bethany, glad you joined us in this wonderful adventure in God's word thru His beloved disciples (some belated or secretly).
I know I set up my Collections differently than some but learning a few indiv. verses then practicing them grouped together as soon as I can while learning more indiv. verses, then practicing several smaller groups together has helped me understand the flow and concept of the passage and to learn the whole faster. Because ST is set up in alphabetical and numerical order, I skip over say 1-10 until I have learned 1-4 and 5-10. Then I go back to it & master it after having practiced the smaller groups several times. But you do as much or as little as you desire. No contest here just encouragement to joyfully learn the Word!
please join my group called James and John and Jude
WELCOME, Aimswell, and well-said! Thanks for the invite. 1 & 2 Peter follow James which was the last letter of this group for me to finish. I will check them out.
"II Peter, Grow in Grace" was just added to "Whosoever Will"
A New collection called "II Peter, Grow in Grace" was just added to "Whosoever Will". The verses are grouped mainly in twos. Some key passages is this collection are:
2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
2 Peter 1:20-21 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
2 Peter 3:9-11 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
May God bless you richly as you cherish His word in your heart. :-)
Thanks, Susan. So glad to have you working on these with us and in other groups as well! They have been a blessing to learn but they also have brought me under conviction more than once! So thankful the LORD is gracious and patient!!
That's awesome, Charlotte! Congratulations!
Thanks! It's been such a joy to have you join me in this journey!! I watch your progress in amazement knowing you have also done all of Revelation! I will be thrilled to have you join me in learning first 1 & 2 Peter, then Philemon & Philippians. But I think I will then group together The "T" Letters and The "C" Letters as separate groups so that the group prep is not so long and I can get into the memorization faster! Sound like a plan? . . . . IF THE LORD TARRIES and allows! "Amen. Come, LORD JESUS! is our prayer"
"I rejoice greatly when I heard" sound familiar :-) Wow Charlotte that's great! So when your ready please let me know when I can start the "P" letters. I also have had the "P" letters on my heart. I've masters a few verses here and there in them but I have not purposes to learn them all. The way that the verses have been grouped together in these collections has helped to make them part of my very being. Many blessings to you and yours.
Yea! Rejoice with me ... I've now mastered all my grouped verses and chapters in all the Collections of The "J" Letters !! I will continue in monthly review BUT now on to my next project: The "P" Letters of Peter & Paul !
Welcome to all ! I'm sorry that I did not finish dividing up all the verses in James 3 - 5 before I sent out the invitations as I was still working thru James 2 myself! I added some grouped sections today.
