5 Easy Ways To Memorize Scripture
Ally Rogers

As believers we are called to share the good news of Christ with those around us, but what do you say when that time comes to share the gospel? We need to be armed with scripture to spread this news. Although it may be tricky to know scripture, there are many ways to put these words to memory.

1. Write it down on your hand.

This is my favorite way to to put scripture to memory. If I come across a verse that I love, I will write down the first letter of each word on my hand so that every time I look at my watch or fiddle with my hands, I will see that verse. Just writing down the first letter to each word could also be a quizzing technique because you are not seeing the full verse!

"But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ." -Philippians 3:20


2. Sticky notes on your laptop.

Many people place sticky notes on their laptop to remember to study for that big test or to remind them to be at that job interview at 4:00. Why not use the same tool to help memorize scripture? Write your verse on a sticky note, put it on your laptop, and be reminded daily. Don't have a sticky note? Use a small piece of paper and tape! (Also, many computers have a sticky note program built in!)


3. Set a picture of the scripture as your phone's background.

This is so helpful and also extremely cute. I am a huge Pinterest fan, and I am constantly pinning cute pictures of verses from the Bible. Why not go the extra mile, save that picture, and set it as the background to your phone? (You can also find these pictures on Google!)


4. Carry a note card with the verse on it in your purse, wallet, or backpack.

I have totally done this before, and it is not as pointless as it seems! Whenever I had a time when I was doing nothing in a class or waiting on time to pass by when I was out and about, I would go to my wallet and pull out the card. I would read it a few times, try to say it without looking, made sure I knew it, and then put it away- that simple!


5. Stay in the word.

The easiest one! Just by reading scripture and staying in my Bible, I have learned to remember what I have read and share that with others!

So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
