Mixed Messages About Scripture Memorization

Share:

Scripture MemorizationIn a previous post I wrote about Adverse Reactions to Scripture Memorization due to boredom in the memorization process, the use of bribery which fails to communicates intrinsic value and generally only has short-term results, and a lack of perceived benefits.

Let’s consider another factor: Lessons Learned from Teachers

Teachers might be sending out mixed messages about the benefits of Scripture memory. This can happen when:

  • They do not memorize Scripture along with students.
  • They do not recall Scripture they’ve memorized at appropriate and spontaneous times in conversations with students.
  • They do not share illustrations from their personal lives of how God used His Word that was hidden in their hearts to help in times of need.
  • They do not display the same sense of enthusiasm in this part of the lesson as in other parts.

Provide teacher training on the how-to of Effective Scripture Memorization but also address the teacher’s own approach and attitude toward memorizing God’s Word. Here are a couple of articles you can pass on to them that can be used as a starting point:
