Scripture Memory 2012: Verse 4

In case you didn't see the update on the last blog post:

Apparently, "Join this blog" does not set up an email reminder. Instead, to get email updates, click on the new Subscribe via Email link in the sidebar and enter your email address. Sorry for the confusion.

I'll keep it short and simple this time. Here's my verse!

Megan L. from San Marcos: In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 NIV

Scripture Memory 2012: Verse 3

Time for verse three! I hope you are all enjoying this challenge so far and finding the pace doable. If you need some extra encouragement, I found this blog post about setting goals to be helpful:

4 Things That Will Keep You From Goal-Setting Success

The post seemed very applicable to our challenge. The first thing she listed that will keep you from goal-setting success is biting off more than you can chew. For those of you who want to memorize a longer passage of Scripture but don't want to feel overwhelmed, it might help to break the passage into smaller chunks and memorize the passage over the course of a few months. I did that last year with Psalm 103 because I really wanted to memorize the whole psalm, and it worked really well!

Now before I share my verse for this round, I wanted to clarify a couple of things about which there was some confusion.

1. There is not an email reminder when it's time to post your verse. If you would like to "follow" this blog, you can go to "Join this blog" on the sidebar. That should set you up to receive an automatic email reminder every time I post something.

2. Some people have accidentally posted their verse on the wrong post. This is not that big of a deal because I get an email whenever anyone comments on any post so I can still check you off for that verse. However, to avoid confusion, I will close comments on the older posts. Going forward, only the most recent post will allow comments.

Now, on to my third verse:

Megan L. from San Marcos: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38 NIV

Praise the Lord! That verse is so powerful. I love it! Can't wait to read yours...
