Select Verse Collections to memorize with this Group.
Thank you for your prayers. My Android phone Bible Memory app was very badly broken! The developer and I have exchanged several emails back and forth between us. Things are pretty much back to normal. He has worked very diligently to restore my site, and I am very grateful.
You are right, John. I may have depended too much on the convenience of this app, and this may be the way God has chosen for me to redirect my methods of memorization. It is still broken and does not even sync with the online website. But I have given this problem over to God. I believe He knows best.
How is the review going now, Marilyn? I'm glad to read of your determination to keep up with review. It certainly is important! And I appreciate this app. It is not my only review method, but it does help. Because I know that different people learn and retain well with different methods, and because I know that technology sometimes lets us down, I would encourage everyone to try different systems and have backup methods. Whatever works to get God's Word implanted in our hearts and keep it there, God will bless us through it.
Irregardless of what the devil does to try to intimidate me (and others), I am established in the faith and settled in my beliefs, just as it says in 1 Peter 5:8-10 KJV - "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. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you."
I cannot work on my verses on my own phone. Something is broken! So pray for me. I have had a hard time the last two days trying to figure out how to keep up with my review verses on here.
Good morning everyone! I think the Developer is making positive changes on the leadership board of our Bible Memory app because many people are falling behind reviewing their memory verses. I would like to encourage each of you to try to catch up, and stay up. Do not lose your interest in this app as it may be the only encouragement to someone who needs something positive to focus on as we enter into darker days of evil just ahead. You could be the very light that inspires them to hang on to Jesus. Stay inspired! 🙏😀
Yes, ears to hear and eyes to see. What a blessed thing it would be if we all understood the Truth, as it is in Jesus! Someday in heaven... 😌🙏❤
Yes, Marilyn. It's plain enough. I wish all had "ears to hear" as Jesus said.
I love this verse in Matthew 28:1 KJV - "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre." It very plainly declares that the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord, the true day of the Lord. Jesus rested on His holy Sabbath as He commands us to do as well.
The new quarter's verses, for The Book of Mark, should be up later today. I'm planning to read all of Mark, along with the corresponding sections of Matthew and Luke. A harmony of the Gospels will help me find them. In the past, I have used the harmony in the Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary. (I know there are others, but I don't know if they are different.) May God bless our study of His precious Word.
@Everyone: LBJ or Shannon is trying to locate SIRI. Does anyone remember those names, or have any contact with them? She posted an email address on Final Events.
Clydia has had a setback. She had to go in for emergency surgery for a tear in her colon. She is now wearing a colostomy bag. It is amazing how she has been able to hang on as long as she has. 😞
Charlie is back to her old playful self and even going to church with us this morning. 😀
My friend Charlie is back to normal as far as I know. My neighbor Joe is still in and out of the hospital. And my husband's sister Clydia just got off a ventilator and is in a rehab center. She also has kidney problems. She and Joe have pretty critical health issues. They could each go downhill overnight.
MarilynSDA, how are they doing?
An ambulance and fire truck just came to our neighbor's house next door. Joe was taken to the same hospital our friend Charlie is at. He had a probable heart attack. She has sepsis. They both need prayer right now. Can you pray? And if you know of other praying people, or if you know of a prayer chain, can you let them know?
Thanks, John, for the advice.
MarilynSDA, Sorry for being so slow to see your note. The garden is doing fairly well. Spinach and brassicas continue to give us fresh greens from time to time and they are growing more rapidly as the days get longer and warmer. I did an experiment with kolrabi this winter, with several plants outside under floating "row cover" and three in the greenhouse. Those outside were not as dark green but grew more compactly than those in the greenhouse. We haven't eaten any of them yet. Maybe this week we'll try them. I'd encourage you to start small with a cold frame or even just fleece for winter protection next fall. If you like it enough, an unheated greenhouse might be for you. You might even start a cold frame for early spring planting this spring. There are so many options these days!
Please pray for a very serious situation. I cannot explain the details on here. Let me just say that Satan is in the middle of it wanting to destroy multiple families. God knows the details. Just come to Him in prayer asking for His mercy, deliverance and protection. 😮
John, how is your garden going? I have not started anything yet. It is still cold and we do not have a greenhouse. I am now well underway with the Master Gardener course. In fact, our study this week is partly about greenhouses.
Here is something you can share with other groups. This is a great message from a Sunday pastor with a PHD! 😄 https://youtu.be/0RORHGSsj1s?si=3KZUdqmcnBp4svOF
Amen, John! I wish we could set up a greenhouse, but then, we would become more permanently ingrained in this place. I want to move to a more country-like setting. In the meantime, we plant our 5 big raised planter boxes in the Spring with all sorts of things. We live in Southeastern Washington and have a long growing season here. My husband does not help with the planting, but he helps with the watering, harvesting and canning.
@MarilynSDA, You are not alone in longing for spring. My wife is an avid gardener, so I'm happily involved. We garden all year long! At the moment, some is under lights, some in windows, and some outside under cover or in the greenhouse. It's wonderful to work with plants, cooperating with our Creator!
I am so looking forward to warmer weather so I can start my garden in the window.
I just finished the Orientation (Tuesday) and Zoom meeting (not in person due to weather) for the Master Gardener program in our area. My 1st class will be in 2 weeks. I am excited, and a little nervous (butterflies). Of course these are normal feelings for something totally new. Does anyone on here like to garden? And if you do, what is your specialty?
@MarilynSDA thank you so much!! ☺️
There is power in the name of Jesus.
@BeautifulMeadow: I listened to the testimony of this converted imam (Muslim leader), and I think that his story can help you. https://youtu.be/DRXrIMbwK6U?si=9HOeQZ49_MCtPJ2j
"Look upon Jesus, sinless is He. Father, impute His life unto me. My life of scarlet, my sin and woe, cover with His life whiter than snow." Look up the lyrics to this song called "Cover With His Life." It pretty much says it all.
Instead of focusing on how bad you are, focus on how good God is. The devil wants you to focus on yourself so that you lose sight of God's love for you. If I focused on myself all the time I could become very depressed. But I know that God is fighting for me and that He will help me have the victory over sin in my life. Yes, I need to examine myself, but then I will refocus my gaze upon Jesus.
The devil wants to you to feel shame and unworthiness. Perhaps you should read the words of God in John 3 to prove that He loved you enough to send His own son into the world to die for you so that you may have eternal life. Think about that.. A God Who loved you so much that he was willing to give up His only child so that you could eventually be able to live with Him forever.
I am listening to and watching off and on a beautiful video on YouTube as I have been working on my review verses. It is called "FOREST 4K 🌲 American Nature Relaxation Film - Peaceful Relaxing." A drone is videotaping in action (with pleasant music and forest sounds) forests, wild animals, waterfalls, streams, mountain paths, and so forth. It is a lovely way to get yourself into a mindset to allow the entrance of the Holy Spirit into your mind to influence your thinking.
@marilyn thank you so much! it helps knowing I'm not alone. every time I start to pray, I feel great shame and unworthiness. do you know any verses that talk about praying even though we're ashamed?
As far as the marijuana goes, surrender that problem completely to God. Put it in His hands. We are not strong enough to stand up against some temptations. So just give it to Him, believing that He will deliver you from the hold it has on you.
The best thing I can tell you for now is to just keep turning back to God. Even if you do not feel like praying. You do not always have to kneel, but talk to Him through the day, as to a friend who might be listening over your shoulder while you do your chores. He wants to hear from us even when we are sad or angry. Do not give up on Him. He will keep coming back and knocking on the door of your heart, and will come in to sup with you if you let Him in.
We have all backslid at one time or another. I struggled really badly after we lost a daughter in 1985 to bronchial pneumonia. She was 3 1/2 years old. I didn't really tell God to go away, but I did not invite Him into my life like before. And I have struggled with that apathy off and on for years. But I will assure you that Bible Memory has really encouraged me, and helped me grow as a Christian. Just the associations I have made on these Message Walls has helped me a lot. I have people I can talk to, and share things with them that I do not feel open to sharing with my friends or family. We do not always agree about things, but we are all after the same thing: a closer walk with the Lord.
Thanks for asking, BeautifulMeadow. I would love to help you with this! You would probably be surprised just how much your church family would be willing to surround and encourage you during your struggle. We have all been there! Not in the same way, but in one way or another. The devil is like a small yippy dog biting at your ankles. He wants your attention and is willing to bite you to get it!
@MarilynSDA
I'm wondering if you've ever back slid, and if so, how did you return to Christ? And if not, do you have any advice? I was so close to the Lord about 6 months ago, now I find it hard to pray and read my Bible. I'm struggling with cannabis (marijuana) and feel too ashamed to pray. Through God's grace, I was able to quit for almost 4 months, then in a moment of weakness gave in. Now I can't seem to crawl back out of the mire. I'm too ashamed to ask my church family for help or advice, so I thought you might have some pearls of wisdom. Thank you
@BeautifulMeadow: What is your question? You can ask me on Final Events SDA if you prefer. 🙂
@MarilynSDA I'm doing alright, how about yourself? I also have a question for you
How are you doing today? 😌🙏
I just wanted to know if this group was active.
Hello, MarilynSDA. Happy Sabbath. I'm not sure I understand your question.
Hi, are you still wanting this group to become active?
@janetb: Final Events SDA is the 3rd or 4th group from the top of the group leaderboard. Once you find us, either say hello or email me at 3riversent@gmail.com. 🖐😊
Final Events how to connect?
Matthew 7:24-25: "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock."
I'm already a part of that group lol 😄 I'm working on the God's promises collection
@Beautiful: Well, I don't want to take you away from this group (I have joined 17 as well), but if you would like to join Final Events SDA (easy to find), I would love to share with you the collections that the Holy Spirit and I have developed. I have also downloaded the entire KJV Bible. It would be nice to have someone else to talk to other than kids. Haha! 😄
@Marilyn Yes, I saw Bible Memory on YouTube through the Hide It in Your Heart channel and thought I'd give it a try. I also want to study and memorize scripture "to show myself approved unto God". I was recently baptized into the SDA church and am so happy that God led me to His Sabbath truth, and my new church family
@Beautiful: Welcome! Are you also new to Bible Memory?
@JJ: I definitely am not the top SDA person on Bible Memory. I like memorizing scripture, and studying "to show myself approved unto God" as the scriptures say.
Come now, let us reason together. Isaiah 1:18 Idk I just joined like a week ago
BTW, is Marylin🌹 like the top SDA person on BM?
Can you show me from scripture where Jesus changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday? If Christ followed all of the law in order to be the perfect Lamb of God, wouldn't that include the Saturday Sabbath?
Because it teaches that the Sabbath is on Saturday when, because of Jesus's death, the Sabbath is on Sunday. I don't think that it's like, horrible, but it's definitely not totally what the Bible teaches.
@JJ We hear that all the time. I didn't grow up a Seventh Day Adventist, so I did hours and hours of research before deciding to be baptized into the SDA church, I can assure you, it's not a false religion. Can I ask why you think that?
No offense, but do you guys know that Seventh Day Adventisum is a false religion like Mormonism?
Hi folks. How is your summer going? I am involved in gardening (tomatoes, lettuce, strawberries, collard greens, kale, green peppers, squash, bell peppers, etc), and helping some friends with their special needs. I am also still very involved on Bible Memory with the Final Events SDA group. Come visit us when you have a moment. 🖐😀
How is everyone doing? I see that some technical computer language is showing up in this group as well as others. I suggest that you avoid abbreviations for words like I'm, it's and can't. Change them to I am, it is and cannot. The developer had to change the HTML to plain text due to the threat of abuse by certain members who could introduce objectionable material by HTML.
Yes, JJ. It was started by a Seventh-day Adventist.
Is this group started by a Seventh Day Adventist?
Elisabet, I'm sure that some of us would be up to memorizing the whole book. I'm thankful that I already have 20 of this quarter's verse memorized. So the remaining 10 will not be a problem for me. I'm going to leave the whole chapter collections for someone else to post, as this group is focusing on supporting the Adventist Sabbath School program.
I just put them up, Karen. Sorry for the delay.
How do we get the verses on Ephesians?
Next quarter we will study the Letter of Paul to the Ephesians. It would be a nice challenge to memorize the whole book. It contains 155 verses…
My husband and I listened to the entire story of Joseph on Bible Gateway Audio tonight for worship. It's a wonderful story of lessons in patience, God's watchcare over His people, of forgiveness.
Some groups have gone silent, so I have just shared the following: "Many of us are grieved, and some are very disillusioned because of the school massacre. It was very sad, and is heavy on our hearts. I encourage you to hang onto your faith in God. We can't fully understand God's ways and why He allows Satan to do these kinds of things, but we can trust that He knows the end from the beginning. Satan is being allowed to show what kind of leader he would be on the Earth before the close of time. He knows his time is short and his leadership has been seen in many occultic events for a while now. God is asking people to choose whom they will serve as their leader. We must make the right choice. Please don't let Jesus have to ask you, "Will you leave me also?" Choose for you "whom you will serve this day." "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." When God's people are sealed, then Jesus can come and take His people home."
1 John 4:2-3 says, "Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."
A new series by Pr Doug Batchelor begins tonight. He wrote the book THE RICHEST CAVEMAN. The series is on Amazing Facts TV on YouTube. It's called "Inspiration: The Bible's Greatest Stories!" The series is going to be held at Paradise Church in Las Vegas.
@John: It looks like you are the Admin. If you will temporarily make me an admin, I will share many of my collections with your group. You can see them at FINAL EVENTS SDA which is near the top of the leaderboard. 🖐😀
@Sunflower: I did not get signed up with the singing group after all. Just too much going on. I know it would have been fun.
Sorry, Kristy, for being late. They should appear now.
Hello! Just wondering if the 4th Qtr verses are up yet? I don’t seem to be seeing them. Thanks!
@Sunflower: I just signed up for that. I love to sing and that will be great fun! Thanks for letting us know about it. 😀
I just added a quarter from Sabbath School archives. I'm wondering if anyone else is interested in prior quarters. We could (at least in theory) go back for decades, if there were interest. John, Admin
MarilynS, I'm glad to hear that you got that wall running again. :) Yes, an opportunity to grow patience!
Hello! Please check out Adventist Symphony, a virtual choir and orchestra for the Seventh-day Adventist church. Information and applications are at https://adventistsymphony.weebly.com/
Hi folks! I just wanted to let you know that my Final Events SDA group message wall is back up and running! Thank you so much for all your prayers and patience while we endured such a long process to get the broken issues fixed. Like I've said before, we wouldn't develop patience if we didn't have situations like this to exercise our patience! God bless you and yours! 🙏🖐😃🙏💕
Hi! I just rejoined your group after accidentally removing myself on Wednesday. Ha ha! We've been having a challenging time for a few weeks on my group, Final Events SDA. Troublemakers.. I've undergone some stress over the situation. You are welcome to join us to spread the news of Jesus's soon coming. Let me know if you find us. You can Email me at: 3riversent@gmail.com. --- Marilyn, Admin
Ex. 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God
and please don’t say the Pope changed it because no man can change God’s laws. Anti-Christ tries to do that. Dan 7:25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law.
Everyone knows Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday, the 1st day of the week. Luk 24:1 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. Luk 24:1 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.
Seventh day of the week is Saturday...
just to let you now the sabbath is on Sunday
Can anyone help me with something? I want to learn how to input my own SOP passages. I'm mainly interested in inputting short passages that are easy to memorize. But I don't know how to do it myself. You can find me at FINAL EVENTS SDA. Thanks in advance! 👋😄
Hey everybody, we are starting a new game on FINAL EVENTS SDA. It is called WARRIOR WORDS. It is similar to BIBLE TAG, but without the tagging. Come join us when you get the chance. Bye for now! 👋😄
Good news! The lesson on Thursday, June 25, encourages Bible memorization! This is an opportunity to spread the word about ways we can memorize, including this group.
Amen! Happy Sabbath everyone! 😊
Another passage to consider, as Covid-19 continues, is Exodus 15:25-26 --- So he cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a statute and an ordinance for them. And there He tested them, and said, "If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you."
@Everybody: As the Covid-19 virus continues to be found around the world, a couple good verses to remember this morning are Psalm 34:7 which says, "The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them." And Psalm 37:3, which says, "Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed." Have a good day! ☺
Between 2 to 4 times a month.
@Elisabet: Hi. This Message Wall is not very active, is it? Do you visit in this group very often?
