February 13, 2009Memorize for the PrizeMiriam Adeney has finished a manuscript we will be publishing in November with the title A Kingdom Without Borders: The Untold Story of Global Christianity. It’s a wonderful, inspiring book that broadens our vision of what God is doing through his people around the world. There is much in this book that I could blog about, but the following caught my attention in light of my recent blogs (here and here) on memorizing Scripture:
I’m memorizing Colossians, and since I’m doing it in Greek, I’m hoping for an iPod. I have been struggling to memorize each passage of Scripture as I preach through it: First the easier books-Jonah, Ruth, James and now a larger task: Acts. Repeating aloud, orally, hearing it echo I found not only could I enter and experience (and exegete) the text more profoundly, but the audience also could hear, feel, see, touch the Biblical stories too. The hardest part of memorization? A cluttered life-I am guilty, but O the difference when instead of memorizing a Bible Bullet verse there, and a sword scripture here...one enters the story, the whole story to be changed by it.
