Pretty cool how that worked out.
The passage for this week is Matthew 5:23-24.

I don’t know about you, but memorizing the Sermon on the Mount is being very rewarding. It seems as if God is speaking the truth of each week’s passage into my life during the very week I’m memorizing it. Pretty amazing! My guess is that this week will be no different.
The passage for this week is Matthew 5:21-22. This is the murder/anger passage, and is very applicable in our world today.

Moving forward in Matthew 5. This week we’re working on the city on a hill passage.
The Sermon on the Mount is one of my favorite passages in the New Testament. I love the simplicity with which Jesus gives such practical advice.
Memorizing Scripture is easy. I find it easiest to write out the passage, or print it out, and place it someplace where I will see it frequently. The more I read it, the more likely I am to have it memorized by the end of the week.
A lot of people tell me that they can’t memorize anything. I don’t believe that. I think they just haven’t exercised their memorization muscles enough to keep them limber. If that’s you, keep at it. It gets easier with time.
Here’s our passage for this week: Matthew 5:14-16.

I know I’ve said this before, but here it is again. Here’s my method: I write the verses on an index card and keep it in my pocket. Each time I reach into my pocket for my keys, I feel the card. Every time I feel the card, I pull it out and read it.
