Hi Sara, I have to say I just came across your site and have really enjoyed reading some of your posts. Especially this one about the James challenge. I memorized James as a kid, and lately I have had my James cards out on my treadmill. I am so thankful to know there are other people out there doing the same thing and who really believe it is important to hide God’s Word in our hearts.

[...] to do the same. (I mentioned it a couple months ago.) By the way, you really should visit her site (click here!!) to learn more about WHY we should memorize Scripture. She’s written it much better than I [...]

This is something that I need to start doing. I memorized a couple chapters years ago, but have since forgotten most of them since I didn’t review. I love that you chose James – James is probably one of my favorite books of the Bible. There is alot of practical advice in there.

Alright- I know I am getting into this really late (April for goodness sake!) but I really need this right now- especially this book. I really feel like the Lord is drawing me to it, so I am going to join even though we are a quarter way through the year! Thanks for starting this and I look forward to hearing how the memorization is impacting other people’s lives!

…this challenge might be just what God had in mind for me right now. He just put a verse on my heart, which led to looking up the context online…which led to Him telling me that I need to REALLY get into His word…which brings me to your site ^_^
It amazes me how versatile He can be at getting the point across!
And how I was brought to your site…to see that we have QUITE a bit in common when it comes to passions…(with exception to the “being a mama” tid bit….LOL).
And you just got a new subscriber.
God bless!

This is excellent! People getting excited for God’s Word, PRAISE GOD! I mean this as an additional encouragement, not boasting. About 3 years ago a friend encouraged me to memorize psalm 1 and I did in one week. It was short and easy to do. It encouraged me to delight in the law of my Lord which I extend to all scripture. About 2 years ago, my friend and I decided to try to memorize Hebrews and we did it in roughly 16 weeks. We were shooting for 1 chapter a week, but with chapters like 9 and 10 this took a couple of weeks and then at the end we recited the whole thing to eachother word for word each with 99.9% accuracy. We were on a spiritual high from doing this and decided to go on and we then memorized in order, Galations, Ephesians, Proverbs 1, Romans, Jonah, 1st John 1-2, and now Daniel 1 – 8 so far. We shoot for 1 chapter a week, but sometimes stretch that. For instance Daniel is requiring some time stretching. But I am not a genious, What has made this possible is God’s Power and the acountability and encouragement of my friend for me, and me for my friend. We could not have done this with out these ingredients. James was an awesome book to memorize. My favorite next to Hebrews. “Encourage one another day after day so long as it is still called today” Hebrews 3:13 “But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reporoach, and it will be given to him.” James 1:5

I’m joining in a bit late, but I just found this a couple of days ago. God has been tugging at my heart ever since. I wrote about it on my blog today (putting it in writing — yikes!). I am very excited about this challenge. Thank you for letting us all in on it!

I couldn’t get the button to work in a widget either (blogger). Please let me know if you have any other suggestions. I’d really like to put the button in my sidebar.

Hi again. Not that it’s crucial or anything, but…the code didn’t work in my widget (a wordpress.org site). Any ideas?

Great idea! Since I just finished Hebrews this morning and turned the page over to James, this seems fitting and so needed, especially in these times. Am going to add your button. Thanks for the challenge!
