5 Ways Scripture Memory Will Impact Your Family

Our church's scripture meditation theme for the month of June is "God's Holiness."  My church is in the habit of memorizing Bible verses according to a specific topic on a monthly basis.  In August, we will have completed 6 years of memorizing scripture with this plan.  For the first 5 years, my church memorized verses on the theme of "Discipleship."  By the end of 5 years,

5 Choices for a Deeper Walk with God

How often do you purposely memorize scripture?  Need to stop making excuses and get started?  Here's a good program to consider.  It is just one verse a month -- memorizing according to topics.  Over a 12 month period you will memorize 12 verses that directly connect to 12 different themes...and over a 5 year period you will memorize 5 verses that directly connect to each of the 12 themes.  Isn't that how we usually need to recall passages of scripture -- according to topics?  This program currently has a completed 5 year theme -- "Discipleship" -- online...and a new theme -- "More about Jesus" in the first year of the 5 year program. The pictures on this post are created to...

The Battle of the Mind

It is so important to realign my thinking with God's Word.  A really "bad day," or some sleep deprivation can totally turn my thinking to a more feelings based foundation instead of a truth based reality.  Then my thoughts run to conclusions that drive me to disappointing, or even shocking, actions.  "This is impossible!" or "nobody truly loves me!" are both lies that every believer has either considered (but then talked yourself back to reality) or fully embraced. These lies (and many other lies like them) are powerful enough to...

4 Targets to Help Know Your Bible

How well do you know the Word of God?  I am pretty sure that the average believer wouldn't call himself a novice, but he also wouldn't call himself a Bible scholar.  Let me ask the same question a different way - do you know the Word of God better today than you did a year ago today?  What verses have you memorized over the last year? Do you purposely take time to memorize scripture? Statistics show that those who regularly read, study, and memorize the Bible often have a specific time and place they dig into the Bible every day.  So, what time of day and in what place do you do your daily "digging into the Word?"  By this time you might be thinking something like: "None of your business...that is between me and the Lord!"  Well...it is between you and the Lord -- but it is also a command from the Lord.  I am asking you to be transparent with yourself today...to stop the excuses and be honest.

So, let me start with some transparency on my part.  Back in 1994, I

9 Problematic Fuels & 7 Bible Actions

Before you read today's post -- please answer the anonymous poll question in the right hand column about Bible reading.  Thanks so much!


I have come across people through the years that are very "picky" as to where they get fuel for their car. One gas station has horrible customer service and another station had "bad" fuel one time. However, they now know of a gas station that has great customer service and a good product. Well, before we collectively roll our eyes, we will have to admit that we all have areas in which we tend to be "picky." How "picky" are we about our thoughts? Our thoughts are like fuel for our actions. A person's thought life is so private and secluded that the average person gives little attention to what  fills their mind. So, hours and hours a day we can find ourselves...
