I was challenged to read James 50 times s few years ago. I didn't set out to memorize it, but by the end of reading 50 times, I was well on my way! I want to be more intentional now and get it down. But as a hint in memorizing large chunks of the Bible, sometimes just reading it over and over is helpful! You'll eventually have it memorized and won't even realize it! 😁
Thank you for the tips Cynda and Hikergal. Appreciate it. I have made up index cards and take them with me where ever I go. I am memorizing this in NIV 84 and was so glad that this site had that translation as it is not very common anymore. Our AWANA clubs use that translation a lot. I am at 98% on 1:1-12 so far.
I’ve also found saying the verses aloud with the audio on YouVersiln is great for review once I know several verses. I do that weekly to review whole chapters I have memorized.
@SallyC In addition to typing my verses using this website, I've found that saying the verses out loud is very helpful. I keep my note cards in my car and try to say the verses on my way to work each morning.
Doesn‘t seem to be too active, but maybe if you post a bit as you go along, others will comment. You will definitely be able to memorize James chapter 1 by April 2020. Just take it a verse at a time (maybe one verse every couple of days and, before you memorize a new verse, review what you’ve already memorized). This app was especially helpful to me in memorizing. When you encounter a verse that seems hard to „get“, don‘t get discouraged. Just keep at it and you‘ll get it. The Flashcards and drawing out the verse (and I‘m NO artist!) really helped when I came upon a difficult one. You will be so very blessed by hiding this chapter in your heart!!
Good Evening. Is this group still active? I am memorizing James 1:1-27 as a challenge from my AWANA club. I have until April 2020 to do it.
James 3:17 (what wisdom IS). I always thought of wisdom as the application of understanding (as in making decisions). That verse has shown me that if how I am acting/what I’m deciding/what I’m thinking isn’t pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere, then I’m not walking in wisdom. Wow.
I agree. I've done that, too.
Hi Joanna! I have found James 1:2-3 very comforting. I repeat it to myself eveytime I get frustrated - it really helps.
Hi Joanna! My most comforting is James 4:6, and my daily reminder verse is James 3:5.
What's everyone's favourite verse in James? 4.17 is helpful for me.
@Shanna, yes, just delete the collections, re-select them from the group, then, for the one's you've already memorized, long-press the collection (or individual verses) and select "Change Review Frequency" to set an appropriate review frequency. (This will also check them off as memorized)
@Brett Golson, you seem to be knowledgable about these things...
How do I go back and redownload the verses from the group board. I have memorized through 4:10, but am only showing 54 current (probably because I combined some verses from chapter three into sections rather than leaving them as they had originally been downloaded)
Do I need to deleted them all and start over?
Thank you very much for the advice @Brett, I was struggling a little with that!
Welcome to the group @AmyLaurenGreen!
@SvenE, only verses selected directly from the group verse list will count in the stats. Even if you've memorized all of James, you should still bring in the verses individually. You can mark the entire collection 'memorized' by setting a review frequency on the collection. Then it will allow you to review the verses combined as a single passage. The benefit of this is it still tracks stats by individual verses, so you can see which ones need more work. Also, you can review smaller chunks of the passage if needed.
Hello Brothers and sisters in Christ. I am new to this App and group. But am so excited to be memorizing scripture with other believers...it feels like we're all family without even meeting.
it shows that i have 0 verses curet in this group because i had the same problem and decided to delete the group verses. i do have all of jame memorized in single verses but it don’t show up here. do i need to redownload?
Joanna. Here's what's happening, I think. I did this by accident with one of my collections. After I had memorized the verses singly, I edited some of the verses so that they were combined, for example I combined whole sentences or whole thoughts. Then I would have to go back and delete the single verses. But if I don't it will double count. This could also happen if you after you memorize the whole chapter as a single verses and then you add that chapter as a whole, not broken up. I think it will show that you have double the amount of Scriptures. But you will also have to do them twice as well. Hope this makes sense.
l live in Az and just joined🙏
Really? I don't think that works. db was telling me that they had memorized more than one version. In that case, some people would have to have memorized the whole thing 3 times!
Hi Joanna, I was wondering the same thing. I don't know how someone can have more current verses than there are in the book. I guess they have those same verses in other collections, but haven't combined them.
I live in North Carolina, near the SC border.
hey y’all! anybody in here from SC?
P.S. I live In Michigan. 🇺🇸. 😎
Hi, I’m so glad to see group memorizing James! I already started memorizing James and I think this will help me keep going. Thank you.
do sny of you live in Alberta Canada?
Hi! I just joined the group
Do any of you live in Waxhaw, NC?
Hi everyone!! Please join the "Prayer Requests" group where we will be displaying prayer requests on the Message Wall. Please join, add your prayer requests, and pray for others(!!) ...see you in the group 😀
could you guys join group JesuSaves and dogs for Jesus? Group JesuSaves is known for Bible trivias. So if you like those you should join! It is a group for God. And both groups are clean of bad words. Group Dogs for Jesus is known for bravery and kindness. The group has been deleted by someone mean, but it just made another one. My brother was so sad because that was his group, and it had about 2,000 group verses current. So if you could join Dogs for Jesus we could make the group great again. If you say "Hi, I joined." then I will almost guarantee you will be welcomed. So If you are looking for a kind, welcoming, active group please join either one. PWEEZE😇 I want to make my brother happy.
good morning fellow memorizers. I’m struck by the importance of the first word of each verse as I strive to re-memorize James.
hello fans of the book of James! what do James 1:10-11, 2:8,11,23. and 3:9 have in common? they all quote the Old Testament! I’ve started a group: “Old in the New” to help memorize commonly quoted Old Testament passages. I hope you find it a help!
Thank you, db and Steve Evans!
Joanna, some folks have memorized different versions so they have more verses. btw, great job on memorizing!
congrats Joanna! you are an encouragement to us all!
Wow! I've finished James!🎉🎆🎊🎂🎀🎁☺😊😀😁😂
Same with godwalker, servant sue, danl, and others.😕
I'd like to know if there are more so that I can memorize them. So please tell me.☺
How did you get that many group verses current? There aren't that many verses in this group, I don't think. Correct me if I'm wrong.☺
you can group passages after you have memorized all the verses. Just go to one of the verse, edit the verse range and import the text. then delete the single verses. voila you’ve got it! I’m not admin but that is what I do.
I said administrator because i didn't know who made the group.
Administrator, I'd like it if you'd make some collections with separate verses, because that's the way I've been memorizing them.😛
You just memorize verses together and get to know each other by sending messages to each other. By the way, I like your profile 📷picture.
So what do you do in this group? I just started using scripturetyper to memorize the Bible, so I don't know what the groups are for.
Okay! I like The New King James Version the most, but my Bible is The King James Version. So I started memorizing James 1 in The King James Version. I don't know if I should switch to The New King James Version or not. That might be kinda concussing. Maybe I'll stick with The King James Version until I'm done memorizing James 1.
Hi Lilly, use whatever version you are most comfortable. 👋🏻
Hello! I'm memorizing James 1. What version do you think I should use? Right now I'm using The King James Version.
please join the group the talk
Hi Charles, Just tap on the 3 little red lines in the top right corner. A menu will drop down and you can tap on instructions.
or what do I do to memorize stuff
Yes, I did the Beth Moore Bible Study and memorized James with this app. The app helps review and keep verses fresh. Welcome!
hi I’m new to the lpad and new to this app. Does anyone happen to be memorizing James by your doing Beth Moore’s BS on it?
Then, once you've memorized the book, use this app to review! It's fabulous for that! And I've actually found the "typing" element to be too time consuming for review. I can recite the book in about 15 minutes, but it takes almost double that to "type review" it. So instead, I used the microphone tool to record myself saying the verses and review it that way. If you follow Davis's technique, you end up saying the verse the same way every time, with the same inflections and cadences and you can actually recite along with your own recording! Lol. God bless and hope you all have a great new year!
Hello everyone! I've already memorized the whole book and wanted to share a tip with you. I actually don't use this app for memorizing but for reviewing what I've already memorized. If you want a faster more solid way to memorize, there's a free PDF online called "An Approach to Extended Memorization of Scripture" by Andrew Davis. It's a fantastic technique that's enabled me to memorize not only James, but Philippians, 1 Peter, the last 4 Chs of Job, and many Psalms. Check it out!
Hello dear brothers and sisters, I’ve just joined and so excited and blessed to be here. I love the book of James. I know a lot of it but not word for word. so I’m starting James 1:1-12. I have requested help for learning how everything works. I purchased the pro because I want to get all the help I can. Anyway, again so thankful to be here. I need God’s word to bring light to my life as darkness threatens me daily. Love to all, Debbie
Welcome! You will be blessed! 👋🏻
I’m just starting to memorize the book of james. mastered the first 6 verses! lol! long ways to go...but it’s a great distraction from life! this is my first book I’m trying to memorize...going to be tough, but excited about the learning along the way!
what a great book! I've been working at it for a year and a half I'm starting chapter 4 now. Love that there are others memorizing this. memorizing James has changed my life! 💜Mary
Finally finished memorizing James but the other chapters have become foggy. I guess I will go back and review more frequently. I did find it easier to memorize the single verses first. it took me all summer. it is so worth studying!
book of James memorized! still going to review it tho
So glad to have you join us Isaac!
Thanks! I already have four chapters of James memorized and I am working on chapter five right now!
We'd love to have you, Issac!
Can I join this group? The book of James is my second favorite book in the bible
You can choose the Bible version when you select each collection from the group. Just select "New American Standard Bible" from the list.
I would join this group if I could switch the version to NAS I learned some in 30 years ago. is there a way to change this in my ...account?
How do i change bible version
Love this book. Memorized it with a Sunday school class I was teaching when I was 18. Still learning from James 20 years later:)
finished!!! started February (I think). hallelujah! looking forward to my first full reading without prompts (husband promised he'd be patient!). can't believe how much more I have gained from a book I thought I already understood, by memorising it. praying encouragement and blessings for everyone,
James is a very inspiring book. I tried to memorize it in high school. Now that I have an empty nest, I have time to memorize all the scripture that I can stuff in my head. Blessing to those who created this website and those who have contributed.
woo hoo. Finished the last verse of chapter 5 this morning. Still need some review but have all the basics down.
Hi Tammy, I working on Chapter 3 too! Only a verse or two at a time until it is ingrained.
Hi Kat. It's my favourite too- I'm on chapter 3 at the moment, learning about chapter a month as I want it to stick so I'm using a lot of repetition rather than going for huge chunks at a time. Praying for your success and everyone else on here- well done!
oops, wish they had a way to edit comments. I had a bit of a stutter there. I guessed I could just proofread my comments before I hit post.
Kat, it does not look like anyone responded to your request. Of course you can join. We hope you do. James is a great book. I am plugging away at it but keep it but keep getting distracted with chapters from elsewhere in the Bible.
Can I Join? James is my favorite book.
Kat Ingalls
congratulation Danielle. keep it up.
Reached the halfway point!
well the memorizing the book of James in a month plan didn't work out. the plan was a bit difficult for me to follow although I did find some of his principles helpful. I was difficult for me using a different version than the program. plus I got side tract with a chapter from Psalms in the middle. I was still happy with a chapter and a half from James and a chapter from psalms in a month.
that is typer not Tyler. Auto correct gets me every time. 🙄
in addition to his system I am using scripture Tyler and a few other techniques to review.
if you search masters of memory James course. He uses the memory castle method of learning. in theory you should be able to recite it as a whole or any individual verse when called out by itself when finished. the only thing I am adapting is I do my memory work in KJV. I am old and it is hard for me to unlearn or adapt what I already know without confusion.
sdaTim — where do we find the "system"? I finished James some time ago but would love to read about this.
Have any of you see the system for learning the book of James in a month? I am going to give it a shot.
Congrats, Joy! I'm working right with you! 😀
I am glad to see so many people really working this collection!
I've recently started memorizing the Book of James a few weeks ago. Just mastered the first chapter! Looking forward to mastering the entire book by May/June of this year!
@Daughter - After I mastered the individual verses, I added whole chapters. I've got chapter one down, 4 more to go!
I have never seen a Bible translation that has more verses than 108 verses in the Book of James. Chapter one has 27 verses, chapter two has 26, chapter three has 18, chapter four has 17, and chapter five has 20. Go to your collection and look at each collection. if you have more or less than that, you either have repeats or are missing some verses.
Thanks, Cynda. Now that I mastered all the individual verses, I'm working on whole chapters. I didn't realize that you could add verses to the list, so I added whole chapters.
@momforhim - Some have memorized the verses in different versions of the bible and that's why they have more than 134 verses.
I have mastered all the verses in James! I'm wondering why it shows I have 134 group verses current and there are others who have 162 and 178. I selected all the group verses and have them all mastered...are there more somewhere?
Last message for tonight. I've changed all my Collections to say Memorizing... It seems folks don't like my including the version. I've included it in the description. Blessings!
For those of you who would like to review all of your verses at one time, here is the answer that the support dept. from ScriptureTyper gave me when I asked them the same question. It works beautifully! Because of his answer, I have continued to import the verses one at a time. It's much easier for me because it is parsed out automatically. Here's the support guy's suggestion: We recommend creating a collection for each chapter that you memorize. Then when importing, select the entire verse range for the chapter and allow the system to split it into individual verses, as you mentioned. Then, after mastering the first two verses, you will have the option of reviewing the verses combined into a single verse. When reviewing combined verses, you don't have to type the verse reference. We also recommend that you review your sequential (chapter) collections from the My Verses screen, instead of from the review system. This way, you can use the combined verses feature. I usually review my chapters first from "My Verses" and then go to the review screen to review any miscellaneous verses. Hope this helps!
Hi everyone! I am the original author of this Collection - Memorizing James. This is the first time I have checked the wall, because, frankly, I didn't expect anyone to use my collections! I'm so excited to see so many people love the Word as much as I do. I have another collection entitled Memorizing Ephesians. All my new collections start with NASB. So, NASB - Philippians, NASB - Psalms, NASB - Psalm 119, etc. I only add the NASB to separate my collections from all of the others. You can, of course, memorize the verses in your favorite version. I memorized most of my collections before I had ScriptureTyper, so they don't show I have mastered them all yet. My goal this year is to memorize the book of Psalms. I'm so excited about doing that. I've spent years studying it, so I'm looking forward to meditating even more on these wonderful verses. Let me know if you need anything, and I will do my best to check the wall more often. And remember - hide God's Word in your heart - don't just memorize it! Blessings to you all.
please join my group called screaming potatoes! invite others please
Join my group guys! its called christmas! please invite others! Thx! the location right now is inchelium wa. It'll prob change to everywhere.
Corina, I love the idea of having the whole chapters posted. I once tried to modify the verse settings so they were in paragraphs rather than individually, and while I long ago finished all five chapters, it will never show that here because I changed those settings. I love the book of James!
I have another question. Would the admin mind making the chapters available to memorize as wholes. As in, James 1:1-27 etc.?
Hi! My name's Corina and I have memorized four out of the five chapters of James and am looking forward to finishing the book! Is this group mostly from the same area geographically or from all over?
Hello everyone! I'm excited to start memorizing the book of James. God Bless
thanks very much! I've memorised the first 20 verses of James 1 so far! even got my husband to start memorising it with me now! it's such a blessing to learn God's word off heart!
Welcome, Engela and Rob, good to have you here. The teachings in James are so practical and you will be glad to hold them in your heart.
i began memorizing a few verses in James a year or so ago and eventually decided to try and memorize an entire chapter. recently I finished chapter 1, but had moved on to other verses. Now that I found this group I may try to learn another chapter.
I've always wanted to memorise a whole book! Thus far I've only memorise individual verses! I love the book of James and are excited to start! So grateful for this group!
So glad to have you join us Erin!
This is awesome! I started working on the book of James a little while ago so I'm excited to find a group of others memorizing James as well.
hello all! I am really excited to get the book of James memorized!
Good for you Karen. I agree about James. So much practical wisdom in there!
Thanks for the encouragement. It is coming back. :-) I am sure it will get a lot harder once I start the new chapters. For now I am re-doing what I did before. James is such a rich book!
Just begin again, Karen. The verses that you memorized in 2012 will come back to you with a little work. You can do this!!
You can do it Karen! I am rooting for you!
I started memorizing the book of James in 2012 but got bogged down and only got through the first chapter and a half, which I can't remember now. I would really like to get this done.
aha, I get it now. Answered my own question. Wish I knew this when I was learning Philippians! lol
Question- when I do review, do I have to do it from my main review list that includes everything I've ever mastered or can I go straight from the "James Chapters" that I've imported from this group?
I keep skipping around my review list because I want to do the James verses in order, but it breaks concentration.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks Cynda! Great to be here!
Feels like I've been having a conversation with God about Memorizing the book of James for about six months now. I toyed with the idea that New Year's would be a good time to start. Them I showed up for church this past Sunday, turns out our new series will be on the book of James. hmmm, sounds like a prompting to me. Glad to be joining with all of you.
Hi Karen, There was a bug with the system that we recently corrected. The # of successful attempts should only increment once every 6 hours. This allows you to type a verse as many times as you like with out pushing it way out in the review cycle. Note that your # of successful attempts is also the # of days between reviews. Hope that makes sense :)
Hello Brett ~ I've successfully done verses 1 -3 of chapter 1 of James and yet it is only registering me with one successful attempt though I have done several more besides. I've just finished the Romans Projects and am used to seeing the # of successful attempts rising with each time. ~~I LOVE this site and am so thankful for it. It has made all the difference for me in memorization.
Thanks! This is really hard! I am trying to memorize three verses a day. I am just not used to it I guess.:)
Yay! Have the first 6 verses memorized!!! 108 to go!
Thank you so much, Brett... that DID work. :)
Best app ever.
@RansomedOne, try adding it back in from the app. I think it will let you do it from there. Just open the James 2 collection, choose "Add Verse" and select it.
I have a small problem here, I took 2:18-20 out to fix the place with a dash so it had a space... and now it is in my separate list and I can't get it back in the James 2 collection to review straight through... is there any way around it? I see too late that now I can edit it directly on the page. Sorry about that.
Don't give up! Keep pressing on. God's Word will not return void! You can count on it/Him!
Suddenly James 2:18-20 is not lining up correctly when I type it.
Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!
I just updated the website with a bug fix. There was a problem with the message displayed after successfully completing a verse in "Memorize It" mode. New verses must be typed successfully in "Master It" mode before they will be checked off and added to the review cycle. Everything should be working properly now. So sorry for the trouble.
and me again... today I tried doing the verses in chapter 3 separately from the esv block in this group... it does not credit me for them... Thanks for your work here.
? for you, Brett... I have gone through in ESV and added James to my list by paragraphs. Now today I memorized Ch 3 verses 6-12 but they just do not credit... it still shows them as undone on my page. I deleted it and re-imported it, but it still doesn't work... any ideas for me?
I love this site... it is my favorite site of any. :)
Brett, all of the sudden, I am being asked to type the entire first chapter of James in addition to the verses as I memorized them. That's not a problem, except that when I get to the word 'double-minded' the rest of the chapter will not match with the words that I'm typing. It's quite annoying. Could you fix it please?
Thanks!!
Hi Janet! You'll need to select the verses from here in the group. As of yesterday, there's a new feature on ScriptureTyper that auto-converts the group verses to any translation you like. Just look for the translation drop-down list when selecting a collection from the group. Blessings! -Brett
I memorized James several years back, but haven't kept it up. I"d like to review it, but want to do it in the NIV. How can I join the group for encouragement and acceptability but still do it in NIV? I've uploaded the verses on my own, does taht work?
James 2:18-20 has changed. The spacing is completely different. It wasn't like this last week. Thanks for fixing it!
I'm working on James 5 and some of the spacing there is really off; I think around verse 9 and following. Thanks.
James 1:5-8 has a typing issue beginning with the word "double-minded." Thanks so much for fixing it!
Is there a way to group the verses in chapters 3-5 into two or three verse segments like the first two chapters, rather than going to individual verses?
Hi Julie, there have been intermittent problems with this. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem. What web browser are your using?
Thanks for letting me konw Cynda. There were extra spaces in those two verses. I just removed them, so they should line up now.
I'm still having trouble with James 1:5-8 (starting on the next to the last line and going through the end of the passage) and James 1:9-11 (it starts on the first line but is fine the rest of the verse). Thanks!
Just fixed the typing alignment issue on the site. Please let me know if there are any specific verses that still aren't aligning for you.
My typing is not lining up with the words on the screen either.
Yes, I noticed that on a few verses. I haven't figured out a way to correct it though.
I've just begun work on the book of James and have found that some of the verses do not track correctly. In other words, when I type a word it shows up behind other words on the page. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you correct it?
In my personal collections of James 1 and James 2 which are all checked as memorized, most of my divisions of verses are the same as this group but it doesn't recognize my previous work.
Brett - this rocks - i just realized that if my personal verse groupings match the Group, it recognizes my individual group, including the verse numbers! For example, i have James 1:5-8 memorized already and when i added the whole collection it check marked that one and had the verse numbers!
hi James group - I saw this group and thought i would check it out. Do you know each other from a church or other group? I agree with Rebekah and LoveRules - i have a slightly different schedule on the other James verses; i also add the verse numbers. Blessings to you all!
I agree with you LoveRules, I would also like that feature included. That way, if we had already memorised a passage we wouldn't have duplicates if we did it with a group afterwards.
Alex, you can also change the translation of any verse you have imported by clicking on the "edit" button next to the verse in your verse library. The edit button looks like a pencil next to the verse when you are on the website. Let us know if you have any other questions!
When I added this group's ch 1 & 2, it doesn't recognize that I've already memorized them in my own collections, so I have to start over with these. I'm thinking this will mess with my review schedule also (I'll have two of every verse)? I suppose it never hurts to review more, but it would be nice to have ST groups recognize the record of verses already worked on in other personal collections.
Chapters 4 & 5 are on the way. McKenzie will be adding them in the next couple of days.
Alex, I clicked on the tab, "scripture memory" at the top of the page. then clicked on "preferences", then chose KJV. When I chose to add the collections to my review it automatically put it into the KJV for me. I hope that helps. By the way, how do I add chapters 4 and 5? does anyone know?
I like the idea of groups but would like to be able to chose my own translation for the verses I am memorizing with the group.
For example I am currently memorizing James in NIV 1984 but this group is based on ESV. I am not sure of this is a possible change for the site or not. I have left the same feedback on the site Contact Us page.
