For the past year, I have been studying and memorizing Paul’s letter to the Philippians. This has been an in-depth challenge on both fronts. First, undertaking the memorization of the entire letter was a big deal all in itself. I have tackled this before, with some other letters by Paul: 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus, as well as the Sermon on the Mount.

Second, in examining each passage, verse by verse, I have effectively created my own commentary of these letters. One day, I hope to condense these posts all into one document, and see if it is something that can be published as a Bible study tool or commentary.

I plan on continuing that discipline. The next book I want to tackle is the letter of 1 Peter. This small book is packed with a tremendous amount of practical application. Peter wrote to the early church in general, making this easily applicable to us today as well.

For the next couple of weeks, the usual Sunday morning memorization post will be absent. Beginning with the first Sunday in May, I will start the letter of 1 Peter with an overview of the book, and begin the memorization after that.

I hope you’ll join me in examining this incredible piece of Scripture!
