  • What Is the Point of Memorizing Scripture?

    Scripture references:

    Psalm 119:11

    Deuteronomy 6:4-9

    Practical steps + helpful tips:

    • Write Scripture verses down on a notecard or sticky note and put it somewhere where you’ll see it often each day (i.e., in your car, on your mirror, over the kitchen sink).
    • Practice with your family, friends, small group, or kids -- reading and memorizing Scripture together can make it easier and creates accountability.
    • Read scripture out loud.
    • Listen to an audio version of the Bible, a podcast, or a song that revolves around Scripture (i.e., search “Colossians 3” on Spotify).
    • Repetition is key!
