I don’t really have a certain routine in memorizing scripture except for writing the first letter of every word that I have memorized. So far (I’m 16), I have Mark 1-3, Philemon, 1 John 1-3:14, 2 John, 3rd John, and Jude memorized. Repetition is very important. So is praying to have the capacity to memorize and to use what you have memorized to glorify God. Remember it’s not about you, it’s about God.

My Associate Pastor, Andy Lackey, memorized the ENTIRE Book of Ephesians and recited it as a sermon one Sunday...the congregation had no inkling that he was going to do that. Andy spoke to the people in the balcony as though they were Gentiles and to the people on the main floor as though they were Jews. One by one, each of us in the audience that day began to realize that Andy wasn't looking at any notes. It was one of the most mesmerizing sermons I have ever heard. Andy Lackey has also written a book entitled, "Owning Scripture - The Art of Bible Memorization". I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to be better at memorizing the Bible. It's available on Amazon for only $5. Diane in NC.

I'm 20 years old and some time in this life i hope to memorize the entire gospel of John. I have already memorized the first 18 Verses. And even if I don't reach that goal in this life, then John can help me with the rest in heaven 😉 There is something special about knowing God's Word by Heart

That's awesome. I'm actually doing the same thing now. I'm at chapter 3 now. It should be doable. Where are you at now?

@@sherlockhomeless7138 cool 😃 i got to chapter 6 before summer, but then i had a time where i did not review it for a couple months, so now I'm memorizing it again. I just finished chapter 3. Now i have some more accountability and people that i recite for, so it's easier to keep at it. But even though I lost some of the verses, it's still pretty easy to learn again. Chapter 3 only took me about 2 hours spilt in different sessions. But keep going at it! It's so good to keep Gods word in our hearts.

@@danielboelnielsen4605 Wow, that's pretty far. And chapter 3 in 2 hours that's amazing. You must have a really good memory. I'm at a pace of 5 verses a day. So, I have a question about a completely different topic, but I don't know who to ask. Maybe you could shed some light on it. I was going through the pages in John to see what else was coming and then.. I saw.. John 7:53 - 8:11. It's a very familiar story, but I had never read before that it wasn't in the early manuscripts. It came as a shock to me. I knew about the ending of the gospel of Marc. But the resurrection of Jesus is still in other parts of the Bible. But this passage about the adulterous woman is almost as famous as the story about the prodigal son. How do you treat such passages? And are you going to memorize them?

@@sherlockhomeless7138 that's a good question. I still don't know exactly where i stand in that question, but for now i treat it as part of the bible and Gods word to us. And plan on memorizing it.

I believe if you have a good or great memory it won’t be a struggle to retain ANYTHING. Unlike someone who hardly retain anything like me “sad but true”. Please pray for me that God will miraculously give me a great memory to retain his word and share my faith boldly and eloquently. Thank you.

My issue exactly! I read something and 2 min later i cannot remember. However things come back to me much later when i remember reading "Something" before. I have tried to compartmentalize things in my head to make things easier, doesnt work... but i trust that God, in His infinite mercy will continue to walk with me. Take heart believer, He who is in you is greater!

Hi everyone! Could y'all please pray that I'll overcome the lies of the devil? Lately, he's been working real hard against me. He's putting doubts that God doesn't exist, and it's overwhelming me! Please pray that I'll get closer with God and to trust in him, thank y'all so much!! God bless ya'll!! 💕😊🙌🏻

Use the truth of God’s word to tear down lies and strongholds. 2 Corinthians 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds. A stronghold is a lie that you have been believing over and over again and it has a grip on you. However if you ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to the truth(s) in the bible that oppose those lies and you meditate upon those truths over and over again and believe them, then you will tear down those strongholds and they will be replaced with the truth. John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. God Bless

Tony, I just read the text on Bible memorization. Well I have a bad memory generally so to read what you and others are doing is very encouraging. We need to s-t-r-e-t-c-h our faith in many different ways. Thank you so much also for introducing Pastor John's teachings and your lovely style with audio media. I am blessed to be one of "those great crowd of witnesses" waiting for and heralding Jesus' soon return. Robert Mulgrew, in Maynooth, Ireland. Shalom

Very interesting ideas about how to memorise Scripture. On a different but related point, I think it is very helpful to try to remember what book and chapter biblical passages are in, but I think it is not really worthwhile trying to remember exactly where divisions between verses take place. If we know what chapter a passage is in, that means we can find it in a few seconds to look at it more closely. But trying to remember where exactly verse divisions are takes a lot of effort and doesn't really help us very much.

Dear Pastor John Piper. Can you please recommend a good read on the cross of our Lord Jesus. I read the books by A.W.Pink, John Stott and J.C Ryle. I'd like to read your favorite one, probably Jonathan Edwards? Please suggest/advise. Thank you so much!
