Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ;

Those of us who are looking for His appearing have some preparing to do, which is the main theme of this new collection, Last Days Before God's Return to Earth. 

This collection contains passages such:  Matthew 24, Revelationi 12-14, Daniel 7 - 9, and Hebrews 7,

Zephaniah 2:3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought His judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.

Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will rest in his love, He will joy over thee with singing.

Zechariah 14:9 And the LORD shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and His name one.

Hebrews 7:24-25 But this man, because He continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Revelation 12:7-9 And there was war in heaven: Michael and His angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Some of the themes are: End time delusions, how to receive God's seal and avoid the mark of the "beast", identifying the "beast" and Babylon, Jesus as intercessor and high priest, and prophesies related to the second coming of Jesus and events just prior to God' appearinig in "the day of the Lord." 

If you are new to BibleMemory.com you may not have deveolped your own strategy of what works for memorizing on this automated systerm. For example, after you do Type It  once, and the button is highlighted for you to continue on to Memorizie It, should you take that suggestion, or do Type It again? 

So, here is one method of using BibleMemory.com:

First, thank God for His word, the Bible, and for BibleMemory.com that helps us memorize His word. Ask God to help you in memorizing, and claim a promise, like Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you;, seek, and ye shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened unto you. Then, 

1. Type It three times.

2. Use Memorize It to type the verse six times, (3 times for each set of every other word.)

3. Try the Master It. 

4. If you don't master it, then start over at 1. but only type it once, then do the Memorize It twice. Then try the Master it again. 

Once a verse is mastered, lock it at review daily until you have thoroughly learned it. The review frequency can then be set to once a month. (If the review frequency is set to longer than monthly, and the verse has gone more than a month without reviewing it, that verse will not count toward your group points.)

For long passages another strategy is needed. Scripture Typer can simply be added to other ways of memorizing. In other words, Scripture Typer can be used as assessment and review for other memory exercises. 

So here is a method for memorizing Bible verses which does not use the computer:

A. Read the reference aloud (e.g. John 3:16). Read the whole verse. Say the reference again. Repeat this three times. (reference, verse, reference)

B. Read the reference and the first phrase aloud. Repeat this five times. (e.g. John 3:16 For God so loved the world). Then move on to the next prhase and say it five times (that He gave His only begotten Son). Do this until you have said all the phrases in the verse five times. 

C. Start at the beginning, and say the reference and the first phrase, and the next time add a prhase to it and say this five times (John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son). Continue adding phrases until you are able to say the whole verse. 

D. Then go to scripture Typer and use the three steps, Type It, Memorize It, Master It, as outlined above.  

Here are some other Bible promises for you: 

Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart. 

Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee.

If we are truly seeking God, and wanting to do His will, we will have good success, as it says in the following verse, 

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

(brought to you by the groups, Whosoever Will, Soul Aerobics, and Jump Start! Short Verses.

How we use our time and possessions, our wealth, demonstrates our thoughts and motives more than any other area of our lives. Misspending our talents is rampant among Christians today. Stewardship is the managing of the monetary and intellectual wealth given us by God, the proper use of time and talents.

The verses included in this collection are those presented in a study guide on the subject of stewardship, plus several more.

Some of the verses are: 

Matthew 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

1 John 2:16-17 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matthew 25:44-45 Then shall they also answer Hm, saying, Lord, when saw we Thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto Thee? Then shall He answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to Me.

Some of the verses included are:

Deuteronomy 6:6-7  And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Psalm 119:11  Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee. 

Deuteronomy 8:2-3  And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep His commandments, or no.  And He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that He might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

Matthew 4:4  But He answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Romans 13:12  The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

This collection appears in the groups Whosoever Will and Soul Aerobics.

Martin Luther said of Romans, "The Epistle is really the chief part of the New Testament and the very purest gospel, and is worthy not only that every Christian should know it word for word, by heart, but occupy himself with it every day, as the daily bread of the soul."

So, here it is, the whole book of Romans, wiith verses grouped mainly by twos. Some of the key verses are:

Romans 1:16-17  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Romans 3:31  Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Romans 8:38-39  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 13:8  Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

Romans 13:10  Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Romans 13:11-12  And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

Romans 15:13-14  Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

The collection Romans - Gospel of Christ is in two groups: Soul Aerobics, and Whosoever Will. 

Romans tells us how to have victory over sin and how we may live in freedom through the grace of God. Some essential verses from Romans are:

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.

Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Romans 8:32 He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

This collection may be found at Jump Start, Whosoever Will, and Soul Aerobics groups. 

The book of Galatians had been added as a collection to the group Whosoever Will. There are 149 verses in this book, which are grouped mainly in twos and threes. 

Some key verses in this book are:

Galatians 2:20-21 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Galatians 3:28-29 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Galatians 6:1-3 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

Galatiians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Galatians 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

For your verses to count toward the total group verses they must be reviewed at least once a month. This change occured in the spring of 2017 when they were trying to clean up the spurious groups which were misusing the system.

The easiest way to lock the review frequency when you get to monthly is:

From the Review page click on the frequency. A dialogue box will come up, and you can then click "lock".

This applies to any group on Scripture Typer. 

This pastorly letter was intented to help those who were preparing for the return of Christ. He wanted all the Christians to not fail of their goal of being followers of Christ, and of some day following Him to heaven. Some key passages is this collection are:

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom He may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 1 Peter 5:6-9

But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.1 Peter 4:7-8

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 1 Peter 4:12-13

The verses are grouped mainly in twos. May God bless you richly as you cherish His word in your heart. :-)

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. :-)
