Bullets for Bible Memory |
Katie Stewart assembled this list of verses (KJV) for our homeschooled
kids-- who have long ago graduated from their little school at home. "From a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures,
which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ
Jesus" (2Timothy 3:15). Daily she
would lead them in the game of reciting their memory verses. She depended upon rote
to fasten the text of the Bible verse and its reference, but love of God and Mommy
motivated the children to do their best. "For
precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line;
here a little, and there a little" (Isaiah 28:10). Speaking to my children today about their memory of these verses, most
can recite many of the Texts still, but admit that they need the concordance search
feature of their computerized Bibles to find many of the References. "Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not
sin against Thee" (Psalm 119:11).
She recorded 130 Texts with their References on ten 5" x 8" index cards,
which I list here-- with a great deal of pleasant memories-- for the edification
of any who would like the use these pithy Scripture Bullets for themselves or their
children. Katie called these short passages of Scripture their Bullets. "And take the Helmet of Salvation, and the Sword of
the Spirit, which is the Word of God" (Ephesians
6:17).
Many Christian organizations and evangelists promote different systems for Scripture
memory and review, e.g., http://www.ronhood.org/scripturememory2.htm.
I would only add:
