Memorizing Scripture
Pathway Points
Stepping Up for Jesus
This past Sunday during the children’s moment at our East
Campus, I asked the kids how they were doing on their New Year’s resolutions
after a month. So, I’m going to ask you, how’s yours going? Pastors Eric and
Jeff challenged all of us at the beginning of the year to start a Bible reading
plan. (If you haven’t picked one up yet, there are several at the Welcome
Center to choose from.)
For those of you that have the daily reading part down, let
me encourage you to go a little deeper. While soaking in the Word daily is incredibly
important, memorizing Scripture for times when you don’t have a Bible handy is
a good next step on your discipleship journey. For a great explanation on why
it’s important, check out this article by Pastor Rick Warren: Why
Should You Memorize Scripture? If you’re like me and need a support system
to make things like this possible, join me, Beth Moore, and hundreds of others
at Living
Proof Ministries’ Scripture Memory Team. We’re only a month in, so there’s
still plenty of year left to participate. You can do it!
And, if things are getting kind of hit-and-miss…oh, who am I kidding, when things get hit-and-miss, let me encourage you with a quote that I love from Pastor David Barnhart’s dad: “If you start over enough, you begin to look consistent.”
Stepping up with you in His strength!
