Megan L. from San Marcos: "But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead." Philippians 3:7-11

Scripture Memory 2012: Verse 11
I just finished the book Knowing God by J.I. Packer. It is a fantastic book that I really should read every year. The funny thing is my husband bought the book for me for my 21st birthday (while we were dating), and it took me almost 11 years to finish it. Yikes! As soon as I finished it, I started reading it again from the beginning. My goal is that it won't take me 11 years this time! Knowing God and the Bible study I just finished on Paul was the inspiration for my next memory verse.
