Memorize 100 Bible Verses in One Year (free printable schedule)
Please share!
Note: This project is no longer active. However, so many of you have clicked over to this post to download the free memorization schedule for 100 Verses, that I am leaving the post active. Confusing information has been deleted (such as a now inactive Facebook group).
I mentioned at the beginning of the year that Ben and I will be participating in a group memorizing 100 Bible verses this year, using the book, 100 Bible Verses Everyone Should Know by Heart by Robert J. Morgan:
Change your life from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:20.
With the immediacy of Internet searches and ease of handheld devices, the custom of memorizing Scripture may not seem necessary, but best-selling author Robert J. Morgan makes an airtight case for reviving this rewarding practice in 100 Bible Verses Everyone Should Know by Heart.
“It’s vital for mental and emotional health and for spiritual well-being,” he writes. “It’s as powerful as acorns dropping into furrows in the forest. It allows God’s words to sink into your brain and permeate your subconscious thoughts. It saturates the personality, satiates the soul, and stockpiles the mind. It changes the atmosphere of every family and alters the weather forecast of every day.”
In a series of brief opening chapters, Morgan prepares us for this new old way of thinking and then presents his experienced list of 100 crucial verses, providing sidebar notes, quotes, and memorization tips for each. Extra pages are included to add your favorite verses, extending this life-changing exercise and memorization habit.
We are four weeks in and so far most of the verses are ones we already have memorized (thank you, AWANA!). So this week we have been spending some time refreshing our memories and discussing the deeper meaning of the verses we’ve learned so far, so it has been time well spent.
For now, we’re just writing the verses down on index cards that I hole-punch and keep on a book ring. I think as we go on and there are more verses new to us, I may need to find another way. I may even create some kind of poster to mount on the wall, where I can place the current week’s verses, so that we’ll see them every day.
I did go ahead and create a printable schedule to post on our homeschool cork board, so that we have a daily reminder to work on our verses for the week.
If you would like a copy of the schedule of which 100 verses we’ll be learning this year, click on the image below to download your free PDF to use with your own family’s Scripture memory routine. It is undated, so you can begin the schedule at any time of the year with “week 1.”
