1 John Memory Cards

Feb 8, 2011 by desiringvirtue

Do you want to “ABIDE” with me?

Starting February 14th (The Day of LOVE) Richard and I are going to start memorizing the “Book of Love”, 1 John. I have created a plan that will take a little over a year (don’t stop reading because you think that is crazy!) to complete.

Why so long? Well, I know myself and trust that two verses is pretty much all I will realistically be able to memorize a week and I want to have time to review… to let those memorized verses sink into the depths of my soul and change it. Each week we will memorize 1-2 verses, depending on the size of the verse(s). At the end of each chapter will be a week completely devoted to review. Here is the plan all hashed out:

So do you want to memorize 1 John with me? Richard and I will begin on February 14th and look forward to a year of renewing our vision of what it truly means to love sacrificially. I am so looking forward to the accountability he and I will share and the fellowship in the Word that will naturally come from out joint effort. You can be a part of it too! I made Memory Verse Cards (in the ESV, my translation of choice) to keep us on track and share with you! Today I am going to be printing them on card stock and cutting them out, feel free to do the same!

You have plenty of time to prepare (mentally and physically) before this plan begins. So, if you have wanted to get serious about Bible memorization and think that 1 John would be a good choice for you as well, print out some cards for yourself (or just write them on some index cards) and get on board!

I will be posting weekly with little insights from 1 John as we make our way through this wonderful book! Happy Memorizing!
