Mastering the Bible – Part 3

13 Feb Mastering the Bible – Part 3

Two weeks ago we began looking at the 4 Steps to Master The Bible So Well That The Bible Masters You, with Step 1: Read the Bible for breadth of knowledge.

Last week we we looked at Step 2: Study the Bible for depth of knowledge. This week we’ll look at Step 3.

Step 3: Memorize to master the Bible

Until we begin to memorize the Bible, our knowledge of Scripture often lies dormant in our brain during the ups and downs of life, and does not come to mind in specific circumstances.

Through reading or studying, we may know a verse or biblical principle, but not well enough that it comes to mind when we need it. But when we memorize Scripture, it loads our minds like a cannon, ready to fire when the events of life call for it.

Which verses should you memorize? Create your own list of SuperVerses, which are passages of Scripture that speak to the most important issues in your life. You may have heard them in a sermon, or underlined them in your Bible, or heard someone speak of them. Or you can ask a friend or do a Google search for suggestions.

Here’s a trick for memorizing. Don’t even try to memorize a verse or passage until you have read it every day for at least 30 days. Then you will already be so familiar with it that it will take much less effort to memorize it. Read for more than 30 days if you wish. That’s what I do.

When it comes to memorizing, be a tortoise, not a hare.

Next week will be the last in our short overview of my free video Master the Bible So Well That The Bible Masters You, as we look at Step 4: Meditate for the Bible to master you.

Update on the YouTube Channel

I am knee deep in scripts, outlines, creating intros, videoing and editing. As soon as I get far enough ahead, I’ll let you know when I open the channel.  Won’t be long.

And, as always, we appreciate your ongoing prayers as we continue to lay the foundation for moving from this blog to a YouTube channel. I’ll continue to keep you posted. If you’re not already on my email list, sign up for my free video here (the one with the 4 Steps we’re talking about to Master the Bible So Well That Thee Bible Masters You) and you won’t miss any of the YouTube updates!

In the meantime, while I’m getting the YouTube channel ready, all of the past blog posts are still available – and you know that “repetition is the key to mental ownership!” 

And if you’re new here, we recently finished a series titled “Moving from Checkers to Chess ~ 5 Steps to Unleashing the Power of an Eternal Perspective,”  in which I “connected all the dots” from posts over the years and combined them into a “spiritual game plan.” That series is a great place to start.

I look forward to seeing all of you on my new YouTube channel soon, to further discuss how to walk closer with God and live better in life.

Two resources I’ve created to help build your biblical base for a closer walk with God:

Strengthen your knowledge of Biblical Truth: Our “Discipleship In a Box”, the Brave New Discipleship System, is on a Super Sale, discounted from $249 to $49!

Accelerate your Spiritual Transformation:
Brain science meets the Bible in The Change Zone. Based on Romans 12:2 and modern neuroscience, I’ve created a new membership resource, a daily mental renewal system to help motivated Christians transform their lives. Learn more here.
