A Bible Memory Plan for Busy People by Pastor Charlie Handren

By Anonymous
The following Bible memory strategy is based on a method developed by Dr. Andrew Davis in his booklet, An Approach to the Extended Memorization of Scripture. With this method, weekly Fighter Verses can be easily memorized and retained with an investment of about ten to fifteen minutes each week. If you have a few more minutes to spare you can retain hundreds of previously memorized verses.

Sunday
Read this week’s memory passage with surrounding verses so you can see it in its context. Ask the Lord to help you commit this passage to memory, apply it to your life and use it to bless others.

Monday
Read this week’s passage (with the reference) aloud ten times. Cover the passage and try to say it aloud (with its reference) ten more times, peeking if you have to. Say each memorized passages from previous weeks one time aloud with references.

Tuesday
Cover this week’s passage and try to say the verse aloud (with its reference) ten more times, peeking if you have to. Say each memorized passage from previous weeks one time aloud with references.

Wednesday-Saturday
Say this week’s passage and each memorized passage from previous weeks one time aloud with references.

Review
Repeat memorized passages at least once daily for at least 50 days. After that once every week or two. Pray daily asking the Lord to help you keep His word to remain in you and use it to feed your soul and minister to others. Take advantage of passing “idle” moments during the day to call this week’s passage to mind.

To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord, by George Muller

By Anonymous
To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord By George Muller “It has pleased the Lord to teach me a truth, the benefit of which I have not lost for more than fourteen years. The point is this: I saw more clearly than ever that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not how much I might serve the Lord, or how I might glorify the Lord, but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished. “I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God—not prayer, but the Word of God. And here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God so that it only passes through my mind just as water runs through a pipe, but considering what I read, pondering over it, and applying it to my heart. To meditate on it, that thus my heart might be comforted, encouraged, warned, reproved, instructed. And that thus,...

Reflective Glory: How the Moon Displays the Mercy of God

By
Our sun is a fitting metaphor for the glory of God. In the context of our solar system, it is massive, bright, beautiful, powerful, self-sufficient, heat-producing, life-giving, and dangerous. It is, by far, the dominant feature of our solar system and without it the system would fling apart and all living things therein would die.  On the other hand, our moon is a fitting metaphor for human beings, especially for those who believe in Jesus Christ. First, compared to the sun, the moon is tiny and dim. The sun is 400 times larger than the moon, its mass is 27 million times greater than the mass of the moon, and from our perspective its light shines 450,000 times brighter than that of the moon. The sun is so much greater than the moon that it’s difficult to quantify and express the difference. Likewise, the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, is so much great than each and all of us that it’s impossible to quantify or express the difference. Indeed, the Lord is very great and greatly...

When Children Say "I'm Bored" By Julie Lowe

By
This Article is written by Julie Lowe and was originally posted on the CCEF blog.  I highlighted the areas of particular interest. I had already prepared a blogpost on dealing with boredom from a Christian worldview and then came across this. There is much overlap between the two, perhaps this one is more concise while my work attempts to explain the connection between the ability to think and the ability to be happy. You can visit the original blogpost in the link provided below.  https://www.ccef.org/resources/blog/children-say-im-bored   We have a common crisis in our home; it is the calamity of boredom. Our children might even consider it a catastrophe. “I’m bored” is repeated so often it would not be an overstatement to say that these words echo continuously throughout our home especially during any break from school. These are children with limited media time but still children with a Wii and Xbox system, a pool outside our door, multiple games, toy...
