Scripture Memory
Memorizing Scripture helps you to meditate on God’s Word and know what it says so you can draw on Scripture in any circumstance.
Scripture memory can be done all together as a family, enriching everyone with God’s Word. Work on memorizing one verse or passage at a time. It’s very simple: Once a day, read aloud the verse or passage you are working on. As the words become familiar, family members should join in saying the parts they know. Continue with the same verse or passage until everyone can recite it together with confidence.

Watch the video below to see how to set up a simple Scripture Memory System that will help you continually memorize new verses, plus review all the verses you have learned in just 5 to 10 minutes each day.
