I’m memorizing Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount this year. I’ve been neglecting the discipline of Scripture memorization, and decided that 2011 will be different.
I would love for you to join me in this endeavor!
Here’s how it will work. Every weekend, from now through Christmas, I will post a new passage from Matthew 5, 6, and 7. Some passages will be only a verse or two. A few will be three or four.
Write it down on an index card so you can keep in your pocket or in a visible location. Place it strategically, so that you will see it frequently throughout the week. Read it several times a day. Recite it aloud a lot. By the end of the week, it will be yours!
Here’s our passage for this week: Matthew 5:1-3.
Here’s a link to the passage at Bible Gateway.
Good luck!
Let me know how it goes in the comments.

Sure is. At the top of the page are four links, one for FaceBook, one for Twitter, an email envelope, and an RSS subscription icon. Click on the email envelope. It will walk you through the process for subscribing in order to receive updates by email. Thanks Billy!
Alright got it. Thanks for doing this. It's a great idea!
No problem! Thanks for joining me in it!
I have to memorize the entire sermon on the mount and then write it from memory word for word for my spiritual foundations class as my final exam in May……I am extremely intimidated.
I'm looking forward to this. Of course, my schedule may take a little long for you…
