I’d love to help you simplify your meal planning. Check out my new menu planning course here.

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.

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!

"Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣ ⁣ Very lar "Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣
⁣
Very largely does the wife hold in her ⁣
hands, as a sacred trust, the happiness ⁣
and the highest good of the hearts that ⁣
nestle there. In the last analysis, home ⁣
happiness depends on the wife. ⁣
⁣
Her spirit gives the home its atmosphere. ⁣
⁣
Her hands fashion its beauty. ⁣
⁣
Her heart makes its love. ⁣
⁣
And the end is so worthy, so noble, so divine, ⁣
that no woman who has been called to be a wife, ⁣
and has listened to the call, should consider any⁣
price too great to pay, to be . . .⁣
 the light,⁣
 the joy,⁣
 the blessing,⁣
 the inspiration, ⁣
of a home. ⁣
⁣
The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, ⁣
filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing ⁣
something better than anything else her hands ⁣
could find to do beneath the skies.⁣
⁣
A true mother is one of the holiest secrets of ⁣
home happiness. God sends many beautiful things ⁣
to this world, many noble gifts; but no blessing is ⁣
richer than that which He bestows in a mother who ⁣
has learned love's lessons well, and has realized ⁣
something of the meaning of her sacred calling."⁣
