1:07-1:24 The *purpose* of going the Bible is to Spend time with God, and be with Him i.e. *relational* That was my favorite part, and what caused me to prioritize the time to listen to this entire interview. Good work in The Lord brothers. (thank u for not hiding this under a bushel)'

What I've done is copy and restructure the verse in OneNote with bold and highlights. The 2nd thing I will start doing is to create a mind storyboard of the keywords. I agree with the internalize part as I remember best what I use what I share.

Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; and walk continually in love [that is, value one another-practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance. But sexual immorality and all [moral] impurity [indecent, offensive behavior] or greed must not even be hinted at among you, as is proper among saints [for as believers our way of life, whether in public or in private, reflects the validity of our faith]. Let there be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse [obscene or vulgar] joking, because such things are not appropriate [for believers]; but instead speak of your thankfulness [to God]. For be sure of this: no immoral, impure, or greedy person-for that one is [in effect] an idolater-has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God [for such a person places a higher value on something other than God]. Let no one deceive you with empty arguments [that encourage you to sin], for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience [those who habitually sin]. So do not participate or even associate with them [in the rebelliousness of sin]. Ephesians 5:1‭-‬7 AMP

@238act 16 күн бұрын

I wrote you in my [previous] letter not to associate with [sexually] immoral people- not meaning the immoral people of this world, or the greedy ones and swindlers, or idolaters, for then you would have to get out of the world and human society altogether! But actually, I have written to you not to associate with any so-called [Christian] brother if he is sexually immoral or greedy, or is an idolater [devoted to anything that takes the place of God], or is a reviler [who insults or slanders or otherwise verbally abuses others], or is a drunkard or a swindler-you must not so much as eat with such a person. For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders (non-believers)? Do you not judge those who are within the church [to protect the church as the situation requires]? God alone sits in judgment on those who are outside [the faith]. Remove the wicked one from among you [expel him from your church]. 1 Corinthians 5:9‭-‬13 AMP

June 2024. This the first time I’m hearing this. It makes total sense to me. I taught French (my birth language) and Spanish for thirty years. After 5 years of teaching, I put the books away and taught the students like I did my own daughters…. And it worked so much better. I see a lot of common thinking in this video. The relationship. The normalcy. I talked down a school board who wanted to spend $32,000 of your money on new books, written by Americans who have no idea how a language is acquired. . I told them not to. Instead buy real children books from France and Central America. I’m sharing this idea left and right. I’m in a house church. I will be reading and sharing this link. So, I started with the book of John. I know. I’m an overachiever. Always have been. A widow, I sit alone in the evening and read aloud. First time through, and I’m seeing things I’d never noticed before. I’m the bread of life: communion, etc. I’m averaging 4 to 5 chapters a night. Then I go to bed. His words stay with me through the night. I am an insomniac and I’m too often awake between 1 and 4am. Jesus’ words come back to me then and I go back to sleep. What a wonderful savior we serve!

From Germany, I like every point of view. Reading out loud is, what we practice in our church. So often, I can tell you, who is the writer of those words, Peter, Paul, King David...and remember, oh it's right in the middle of this page, somewhere in John 14, vers 26, when Jesus told, promised his desicples, my Father will send the comforter, the Holy Spirit to you in my name and teach you everything, reminds you of everything, I've told and spoken to you! That is why, every serious christian needs an intimate, loving relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Father just wants to enjoy our presence, having very deep and dear fellowship. That is very encouraging. Read also the verses 22-25! So so comforting in our times of troubles! Amen

Now I'm feeling led to internalize scripture and I admit that I'm feeling terrified. Here I am learning and hearing wonderful YT videos gathering information and becoming more comfortable with starting to look at the Bible and God's word from a new perspective. Praying about NIV or NLT and starting with reading Philippians for 30 days. Thank you for this podcast. Love and blessings to all ❤✝

@lobsterbisque7567 Ай бұрын

@thehylers1021 I found out that John MacArthur chose a book of the Bible, and read through the same book everyday for 30days. setting the limit at 7chapters when reading through the longer books. writing down themes, observations & questions as he read. I started following that advice the same day I heard it. Starting with a short book such as James, and at times even reading through James multiple times in the same day if I had enough time. It has slowly renewed my mind, and the people in my life have noticed a change for the better. I find it much easier to take my thoughts captive, and set my mind on the things above. It has been so helpful! And has been worth every bit of time & effort! Last week, a co worker of mine who had been at my job for a month approached me, and opened up to me. He told me that I was different from everyone else there, that I was trustworthy. His situation is desperate, and He had no one whom He could confide in. I immediately made it clear that by reading the Bible daily, God used that to teach, correct, and warn me. I wasn't anyone virtuous on my own, It was ALL the Lord's work in my life. I shared as many truths about God's character as I could with him, Prayed with him, and invited him to church, and gave him my number. The following day, I gave him an NLT NT with practical helps written all throughout. He expressed hope, and an eagerness to learn who God really is. He looked forward to meeting my friends at church who used scripture to help me through a rough break up & an 8yr addiction to weed. Please pray for him. He's a 32y/o single father struggling with alcohol. The Lord deserves all the Glory!

I was fortunate to see Keith in person presenting Phillipians, I want to say it was, at our church maybe 20 years ago. I remember being impressed with the sheer content he had memorized, certainly. The way he presented it as a whole letter, and delivered the letter personally to us--that was the real impact. I saw then, maybe for the first time, that Scripture wasn't just something to simply know or quote, but it was meant to be a deep part of our minds and our lives, truly transformative power.

Yes, the same for me until I hit my ceiling at University, and so I’d never learned how to study and work at it. Very hard. Now when I find something interesting I tend to deep dive and obsess rather than do sensible research. Anyway, I shall try this, it seems so natural and sensible. And I like the idea of reading it aloud, or hearing it read. This makes sense too because Paul’s audience in the churches had the letters read to them. How many were themselves literate, or allowed to borrow the letter and take it home. Now I’m older I find hearing words as well as reading them myself helps get it into my brain. When I get 2 factor codes through on my phone, I say them out loud, or forget them! 2 routes into the brain.

I'm ADHD; I know about 'all over the place.' I now find that little short '3 second prayers' throughout the day really work wonders. If scripture or spiritual thought comes to mind during the day, I say, "Thank you Jesus, show me more." I read the Bible in super small chunks now, and as I walk away I try to think of all the sermons, etc. related scriptures, etc, and prayers I can pray off that scripture. Sitting quietly definitely has its place though.

I bought a Bible without chapters or verses. That made it a lot easier to see it as a whole.

It comes faster as time goes on.

I was raised Jehovahs Witnesse and they drum into you memorisation of scripture but again the majority miss the entire point and live lives contrary to the gospel.

This just popped up in my feed today, and I’m so grateful it did. I have struggled to memorize scripture word for word for years ( I’m 65). But many verses I know where they are, at least by book, and can give a paraphrase. They are verses or passages I’ve studied over the years and become familiar with. This method makes so much sense to me! It fits my learning style and takes the pressure off that I feel because I struggle so with “normal” memorization methods. Definitely will be looking into Keith’s courses. It’s never too late!

I enjoy memorizing God's word, for several reasons; His word is like a faraday cage for my mind. Many scriptures point to this. David said, "Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee". And I also have learned, that Holy Spirit shows you hidden things from verses that you memorized that you may have missed or didn't discern before. Also memorization is good for the brain. I read research that shows the potential for warding of alzheimers.

Word perfect, punctuation perfect? I don’t know that I could ever depart from memorizing this way. However, your guest is right on with the point about internalizing. Is the Word in our hearts and therefore visible through our lives, or is it stuck in our big religious heads? Bible Memory Goal has always featured guests that value heart knowledge-amen! I used to be an academic-I still am in some ways-but the Lord has shown me the importance of meditation and internalization. Blessings Josh, Reverend Darren McClelland ✝️🙏🙂

Thank you very much for this interview, Josh! I had started memorizing Ephesians 6:10-20, and im doing ok wirh it, but i think i should do when he said and start memorizing the whole book. I anticipate that it will stick easier and I'll enjoy the whole book internalizing more too. Thanks so much Keith! I can't wait to start! ❤❤

I definitely liked Keith's emphasis on "being soaked by the Word" and ensuring that is the focus over pure memorization with the goal being that its there to transform our lives (Rom 12:2). Sometimes I'll have a verse "memorized" but it actually isn't perfect word-by-word but what I call my own personal paraphrased version which I've come to learn is still immensely valuable. When I debate whether I should make it a premium to make it perfect, I remember how even different translations are varied but I certainly care to ensure I don't miss key elements, so its a gradual path toward completion.

@BibleMemoryGoal 10 ай бұрын

Exactly. Some times "word perfect" isn't the ultimate goal.

@HisExcellencyIsMyGod 9 ай бұрын

This completely changed the way I look at things. I had been wondering why I'd been feeling... I don't know- unfulfilled?- in my Bible studies. The straightforward way it was explained as a relationship woke me up from a very critical mindset. I was slipping back into old legalistic habits without even knowing it; thank you! I'll probably come back to this video a few times in-order to really let the message sink home, but the core of "internalization", "memorization as a tool", and "watch the movie before studying it", have really rocked the way I was looking at things. I had been wondering why it felt like I knew so much and so little at the same time, and this is why. I've been knowing of God, but failing to take the time to KNOW Him. I've been missing the point of studying Scripture. This video took what the Holy Spirit had been trying to tell me and brought it all together. He used it to teach me something I thought I knew.
