Memorizing Romans 8 Together @mferrell

Has memorizing a longer passage on scripture been on your list of things to do? I’d love you to join us in memorizing Romans 8 as a group. 

We’ve been working through a study on contentment in our Thankful Homemaker Facebook group and Romans chapter 8 keeps surfacing in each lesson. By the recommendation of one of our ladies, we decided as a group to memorize Romans 8 (totally optional for study members!). 

Join us in memorizing Romans 8 together as a group. Click to Tweet

We’d love you to join us and below I’m sharing some resources to help you along in this journey. 

Many of us are utilizing the Bible Memory App (formerly known as Scripture Typer) to work through the verses and you can join our private group below. (This is optional, you can memorize the chapter on your own using your own favorite resources. Also please note, the Thankful Homemaker Facebook group is for women only, but the scripture memory group is open for your husbands or kids to join too!) 

You can join our private group here in the Bible Memory App to memorize Romans 8 along as a group.

There isn’t a deadline to finish the chapter but a verse a day is a good guideline to follow.

Paul Washer shared a story of a friend who had memorized a lot of scripture and Mr. Washer said to him, “I wish I had the gift of memory like you do.”  His friend replied, “I don’t have the gift of memory, I just work real hard at it.”

Ther are also I’ve also made some printable memory verse cards in the ESV version available in the free library here at the blog. You can print them out either on cardstock or regular paper so you can carry them along with you. 

Romans 8 Memory Verse Cards @mferrell

In addition to those items, I’d like to include some study aids to help you in this venture so you have a better understanding of the theology in this chapter. When we work through the meaning of the text it makes it easier to memorize and we grow more in our knowledge of God’s Word at the same time. (You will grow in your knowledge of the text just by repeating and reading it over and over again and meditating on it throughout the day. The resources below are just optional if you want to dig a bit deeper which I highly encourage.)

Why Memorize Scripture? by John Piper

An Approach to an Extended Memorization of Scripture by Andrew Davis

A Call to Scripture Memory by Susan Heck

The Joy of Memorizing the Word at Revive Our Hearts

10 Reasons to Memorize Scripture:

  1. It creates and sustains delight in the law of the Lord (Psm. 1:2-3; 119:97).
  2. It keeps you from sin (Psm. 119:11).
  3. It fulfills your very purpose for living (Mt. 4:4).
  4. It fends off the flaming arrows of the evil one (Eph. 6:16).
  5. It feeds, sustains and grows faith (Pro. 22:18-19; Rom. 10:17).
  6. It teaches you how to pray more effectively (Jn. 15:7).
  7. It lets the Word of Christ richly dwell in you (Jn. 15:7; Col. 3:15).
  8. It assists in encouraging, evangelizing and defending the faith (Pro. 10:11; 1 Pet. 3:16).
  9. It promotes ongoing meditation (Jos. 1:8).
  10. It was done by Jesus (Mt. 4:4, 7, 10).

Adapted from: Grace Church of DuPage, Scripture Memory Program, Informational Booklet

“I know of no other single practice in the Christian life more rewarding, practically speaking, than memorizing Scripture. . . . No other single exercise pays greater spiritual dividends! Your prayer life will be strengthened. Your witnessing will be sharper and much more effective. Your attitudes and outlook will begin to change. Your mind will become alert and observant. Your confidence and assurance will be enhanced. Your faith will be solidified”

~ Chuck Swindoll

    Just wanted to share one thing I do that has helped me tremendously over the past 2 years to memorize over 200 verses. I’m 55 years old and memory isn’t what it once 🙂 was so this has been huge for me. I record myself saying the verse(s). Then I listen back and see what I missed or got wrong, or if I got it all right. Then I add on a verse or two, say those back, same process, over and over until I have it all. Then I review everything now and then. I write all my verses on index cards that are spiral bound at the top. I have 6 packs of these so far with everything I’ve memorized. I’ve never seen recording yourself recommended before. I just use the Voice Memos app on my iPhone. I’m working on Romans 8 but it’s taking me longer than a month to do it but I just keep at it, I will have it all eventually!

What do you think of when you hear the word discer What do you think of when you hear the word discernment? The dictionary defines it as making a distinction between good and evil and truth and falsehood. As believers, we all desire to be discerning and wise in our choices. As we mature and grow in our knowledge of the scriptures, the hope is we will use that information to make choices in line with God's will.⁣
⁣
We become discerning people by not just knowing what to think but how to think. Being spiritually discerning is an ability to see the world the way God does. This comes about as we grow and mature spiritually into the likeness of Christ. It is about seeing “All That's Good.”⁣

“Waiting exposes our idols and throws a wrench i “Waiting exposes our idols and throws a wrench into our coping mechanisms. It brings us to the end of what we can control and forces us to cry out to God. God doesn’t waste our waiting. He uses it to conform us to the image of his Son.”⁣

As I’m sharing this episode, I’m finding mysel As I’m sharing this episode, I’m finding myself in a waiting room on the Lord, and it’s been a long one, and I don’t see an end near.  It has reminded me that when I gave myself to Him, I gave up my “right” to be in charge. The reality is we never were in charge anyway; we just came to that understanding when the Lord opened our eyes to His sovereign control over our lives.⁣
⁣
Even though it is a truth I know or we know, how many times do we want to think that somehow we can effect change in our life situations?⁣
⁣
Waiting is hard because there is no guarantee that my waiting will end in this lifetime. One thing I have learned – my waiting has deepened my trust in the Lord and has helped me to develop patience, perseverance, and endurance.⁣
⁣
It’s also given me different eyes to see with compassion others who are in a season of waiting.⁣

Six questions I have written in my Bible that have Six questions I have written in my Bible that have been a help to me over the years may be a help to you, too, to be prayerful and slow to speak. These are helpful questions not just in our friendships but in our marriages and with our children, and truly any of our relationships:⁣
⁣
1. Is this the time to say this?⁣
2. Am I the person to say this?⁣
3. Is it necessary?⁣
4. Is it true?⁣
5. Is it kind?⁣
6. Do I need to say this?⁣

We all know that fostering true biblical friendshi We all know that fostering true biblical friendship isn’t easy – it takes work. Jesus told us in John 16:33 that we’re going to have trouble in this world, and trouble does touch all our lives in various areas, but this includes our friendships too.⁣
⁣
We’ll be hurt; we’ll be the ones hurting others; selfishness is a battle; jealousy and envy raise their ugly heads; we have our fears and insecurities, failed expectations, the damage our tongues do to one another, not appropriating the gospel and these all come from hearts that are still battling sin. ⁣
⁣
So when these threats to our friendship with one another in Christ come up, it shouldn’t surprise us that we have these issues, but what we need to keep at the forefront of our minds is how we respond and deal with them when they do come up. ⁣
⁣
I want to walk us through some of these threats, and this list I’m working with isn’t exhaustive – there are many more threats than what I am addressing today – but these are areas that stood out to me that have been a battle within some of my friendships over the years. Sadly, it is often the sin I’m battling in my heart, and I need to get my thinking, attitudes, and actions lined up with God’s Word.⁣
