Scripture Memory 2011

So for this year, we're going to be emphasizing Scripture memorization. The goal is to memorize one verse each week. We'll be handing out verse cards at SIX33 each week, along with some thoughts on the verse here on the blog. Check back at least weekly to see what's going on and keep up with the passages.

First - scroll down to a couple blogs back and watch the John Piper video. It's only a couple of minutes and very worth watching.

We'll be handing out memory cards each week at SIX33, so our weeks will start on Wednesdays. I'll be posting some thoughts and commentary on the verses each week here to help you with your understanding of the verse(s) that week. Remember our Bible study process:
• Observation (what does it say? We're memorizing this)
• Interpretation (what does it mean? This will be here on the blog)
• Application (how am I changed by this Scripture?)

There will also be some Scripture Memory aids and hints both here and on the website (SIX33 Website)

This week's verse: 1 Corinthians 10:31
“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”

Many of us have memorized this verse to use sharing the Gospel. Remember, everything starts with the Glory of God. John MacArthur says, "Even in the most mundane, routine, nonspiritual things of life, like ordinary eating and drinking, God is to be glorified. his glory is to be our life commitment. it is the purpose of our whole life."

We are memorizing (or meditating on it if you already have it memorized) this verse as a reminder that we should always be about honoring God in everything that we do. There should be no part of your life that is exempt from this. This is Paul's central message to everyone. Christ has set the believer free from sin and punishment. We are to use that freedom to bring glory to God in every detail of our life.

Soli Deo Glori!
