One Way to Keep Up with Your Bible Memorizing
The best thing I ever did for my scripture memory routine was to start memorizing scripture with my 5 year old. Today was a big day because she just went through Psalm 1 by herself. It’s such a blessing hearing her speak the word of God at such a young age…
This has also done wonders for my own scripture memory for obvious reasons. Day in and day out I’m reading, explaining and reviewing scripture with her.
The blogger goes on to describe the mechanics of how he and his daughter memorize: first, she tries to recite the passage; they focus on making sure she knows the passages without putting too much emphasis on making progress; he explains some of the ideas or difficult language.

In another post, the blogger talks about how he’s been studying Greek on his own for the past two months. He describes the two touchstones of his study so far:
1. My Greek study must be in addition to, not instead of my daily devotional reading and personal study. This means, in a practical sense, two things to me:This could easily become the case if I suppose that somehow i would be “doing Bible study” by studying Greek. That is not the case. Eventually the two will intersect but in the early stages I need to make sure my devotional reading and application of the Word is not hindered, after all I would be opposing the goal if that were to happen.
2. My Greek skills cannot be trusted. It’s been said that a little bit of Greek can be a dangerous thing. It can open your hermeneutic up to all kinds of problems. I must remember that I’m doing “baby Greek” and need to consult the experts for real exegetical questions instead of relying on my own Greek expertise.
