The new year is almost here! How intentional will you be about your spiritual growth in 2016?
If you’re serious about cultivating your spiritual life, consider memorizing scripture. It’s not a necessity, but it’s something you won’t regret.
On January 4 we’ll invite you to memorize a chapter of the Bible with us here. We go slowly (~2 verses/week); we exert no pressure; we don’t compete.
But we don’t take it lightly either. Sitting purposefully with God in a specific section of truth, over and over, is weighty stuff.
We hope you’ll seriously consider weaving this spiritual discipline into your life alongside us and the community at Hide His Word over the next several months. We’ll provide resources to equip you and encouragement to motivate you.
Please pray this week about joining us as we seek to expand our hearts with holy words from the Word, growing more in love with the Lord and with love for each other.
Together we can do this.

I’m certainly looking forward to seeing what our next memory challenge is. I’ve REALLY missed doing a challenge over the last couple of months. In fact, I began memorizing James 2 on my own. Also, I wanted to mention that as a result of our challenge on James 1, I changed direction with my Teen Girls Sunday school class and we did a verse by verse study of the book of James. We should be finishing that up this weekend. Thank you so much for all you do here to make memorizing Scripture so meaningful.
So, so happy to see your comment here, Dianna! I miss you when we’re on break. These challenges are always more enriching to me when you’re a part of them, so I praise God that you’re all in again.
What a blessing you must be to your teen girls’ class through the book of James. You’re such a treasure.
May God keep our eyes open for new insights in this next chapter like He has done in the past!
