My friend, Owen Strachan, has just posted a blog addressing the topic of memorization of Scripture. http://consumedblog.blogspot.com/ If you read this at a later date look for the post dated July 8.

Somewhat accidentally we started a church memorization project. I need to work on this myself. To see members of the church, husbands and wives or friends working together, encouraging each other, to learn Scripture, has been a joy. At present our plan is to memorize a short passage each month.

God in his grace has gotten us started. To paraphrase a verse, “How can we neglect so great a gift?” Owen's post was a timely reminder that we need to plan to make this project a success, With the blessing of the Lord, we shall.
