Psalm 127 teaches us that children are the heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is His reward. How do we cherish and nurture these gifts from the Lord correctly?

Scripture memorization deserves to be a normal part of the Christian life. Yet, all too often, we view Bible memory as the spiritual equivalent of running a marathon. Since most people aren't running this marathon with us, it can be tempting to think we're going the extra mile in our walk with Christ by memorizing Scripture. In this episode, special guest Daniel Louis discusses "quiet consistency" in Scripture memorization. Rather than viewing it as a special achievement, Daniel views it as one of the most basic components of spiritual formation. Join us for this episode as we explore what it means to embrace Scripture memory as a normal and essential part of the Christian life.

Earnest Christian parents are eager to begin discipling their children. However, we tend to have a romanticized or idealized image of it all.

Children are easily distracted and sometimes fight the very instruction they need. What do we do? This episode will discuss working with your youngest memorizers (preschoolers). We’ll answer some of the essential questions for doing this successfully. Tune in for another instructional episode of The Scripture Memory Podcast.

Most streaming services have a “Deep Cuts” playlist showcasing an artist’s more obscure songs. It is so rewarding to explore those tunes. We often find hidden gems. Consider Scripture memory in the same way. Of course, we want to memorize the Bible’s greatest hits. However, because “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” (2 Tim. 3:16), the Holy Spirit has something to say and teach in every verse. Our souls will be nourished when we commit these more obscure passages to memory. In today’s episode. We will discuss the why and how of memorizing the Bible’s “Deep Cuts.” Tune in for another informative episode of The Scripture Memory Podcast.

The Lord wants us to use Scripture memory for His glory. Among other things, we memorize to obey God’s Word (Josh. 1:8), evangelize the lost (2 Tim. 3:15), and gain victory in spiritual warfare (Eph. 6:17). But what about prayer? Can we use Bible memory to empower our prayer lives? You bet. The Scriptures reveal God’s will for us. When we pray His Word back to Him, it invigorates our prayer life because we have confidence that we are praying according to His will (1 John 5:14). In this episode, our hosts will offer some ways you can incorporate Bible memory into your own prayer life and share a new resource from Scripture Memory Fellowship.

As a general rule, it’s best to have a regular pace in your memory work. Sometimes, however, it can be valuable to have a season of what we call “High-Intensity Memorization.” This is a period of time – maybe a few days, maybe a few weeks – when you put the pedal to the metal and memorize as much Scripture as you can. This, of course, is challenging, but there are also some unique benefits to the approach. Our hosts will discuss H.I.M. while highlighting the pros and cons. Join us for another informative episode of The Scripture Memory Podcast.

The church of the Lord Jesus Christ approached the early 21st Century with much promise. Technological advancements brought the Bible and study resources of every type to our fingertips. Yet believers, especially those in the Western world, squandered these great benefits. Participation in the visible church declined significantly. Mainstream denominations, once bastions of biblical conservatism, compromised sound doctrine for worldly acceptance. Christians stopped pouring over the pages of Holy Scripture. Biblical illiteracy reached an all-time high, with the result that few who professed Christianity knew the tenets of the faith they espoused. How did it happen, and how could this catastrophe have been prevented? Our hosts will address this issue in another informative episode of The Scripture Memory Podcast.
