Purpose

What is your purpose as a Christian? I think about that sometimes. I think my first purpose is to know God better. It always has been. But there’s another purpose that I don’t think of as often, and I should. The Apostle Paul thought of it and spoke of it often. That is to perform good works. Maybe we don’t talk about that much in Christian circles because we’ve been so well taught to separate “good works” from “salvation.” Like salvation is the goal and good works are the opposite. For a quiet-time exercise, take a day or two to study “good works” in the Bible. I just posted a guide to this under “quiet time ideas” to the right. Click on that, and it’s the first item in the list after the quiet time ideas introduction.

More musical memory verses

The older we get, the harder it is to memorize verses - or anything for that matter. But verses set to music are another story. For a few years, I put Sunday school memory verses to music, and that's the only music the children sang. They learned dozens of verses that way, and you can too. To the right, you'll see listed NT Musical Memory Verses and OT Musical Memory Verses. All together, there are nearly 40 verses listed with simple sheet music for each. I just updated both files with additional songs. You might take a look and see if it will help revive you in the discipline of Bible memory. Feel free to use the sheet music to help teach others you want to encourage in Bible memory.
