Getting to Know You: New to Memverse?

Time Posted on February 05, 2011 User Phil Walker

Have you recently joined memverse?  We would love to hear from you.  What led you to memverse?  What are you currently memorizing?  What do you want to memorize in the future?  Do you have any memorizing tips or Scripture testimony or insights to share with us?  Are you in a memorizing group offline in addition to this online tool?

Speaking of groups, I would also love to hear from new groups on memverse.  Does anyone have an all-church Scripture memory program going?  How did your group get started?  Do you have additional goals other than just memorizing together?  Is your group open for others to join?

If you have been on memverse a while and have not yet had a chance to introduce yourself and/or your group, we would love to hear from and encourage you as well.

I would love to hear from all individuals and groups who would like to introduce and tell us about themselves. There are many groups on the leaderboard who I know nothing about. However, I am most curious about the 8 member "Journey to the Heart" group that seemed to appear out of nowhere to take over the 4th place spot on the group chart. Are you a local Bible study? A ministry? A local church? An association of friends scattered around the world?

Could a representative from the group or anyone who knows more than me enlighten us.

Howdy! I'm Josie and I have recently joined memverse. I think it was in November or something like that. I found out about memverse on the Rebelution forums and have really been enjoying it!
I am currently memorizing Genesis 1 and reviewing various other passages that I had memorized earlier. When I'm done with Genesis 1 I'd like to finish memorizing James. I have chapters 1 and 2 memorized but I haven't gone any farther yet.
Not sure that I have any memorizing tips, but as for keeping them memorized and not forgetting them, review is a very important factor and I've found that memverse is helping me a lot with remembering the verses I have learned!
Whoever came up with this idea is a genius! =)

Hi, I'm Laura, I'm new as of this week and I'm part of the mysterious Journey to the Heart group! :) Journey to the Heart is a 10 day retreat designed to help young people learn to love God with all their hearts! It is affiliated with the IBLP ministry. We had a Scripture memory challenge last month for alumni all over the US to memorize Heb. 12.

You can read more about Journey here: http://www.livingthejourney.com/

After reading about your site on the Journey blog, I had to join! I'm really excited to have a resource like this! I'm currently working on Matthew 7:12–29.

Daniel Staddon

Yes, Mr. Walker! I believe the Journey to the Heart group was started by David Waller to encourage those who took part in the "Lving the Journey Challenge" to memorize Hebrews 12. Journey to the Heart is a discipleship program affiliated with the IBLP ministry, and its design is for young people to get away from the daily distractions of life for a week up in the Northwoods of Michigan and draw near to the heart of God.

Then could you do the kindness of adding me as your referrer? Thank you!

I'm glad I'm drawing a few people to Memverse.… I wonder how many Rebelutionaries are actually memorizing Scripture…… those who aren't are sadly missing out on one of the greatest parts of the Christian Life.

"...those who aren't are sadly missing out on one of the greatest parts of the Christian Life."

That's so true, River. I have several fellow Christians I wish knew the incredible joy memorizing Scripture brings. The thing is, you have to work at it faithfully for months before the benefits really start showing up, and most people simply don't stick with it for that long if they don't see immediate results.

I am part of "Good Cheer Family Fellowship", this is our church name. My sisters and I were a part of Bible Bee. And I made it to nationals these past two years. Several people in our church have been encouraged to start memorizing Scripture. This encouragement from other believers has helped me to stay consistant (for the most part) in continuing to memorize Scripture. Right now many of us are memorizing 1 John together. It is exciting to have a group of fellow believers at my church who take seriously the command to hide God's Word in our hearts. It also helps keep you accountable when you know each week there will be someone asking you how your Bible memory is going. :-)

A big welcome to Josie (Very cool that you are memorizing GENESIS 1 and then plan to finish JAMES.) and Laura (that Journey to the Heart program sounds awesome, and I am especially thrilled with them following up to challenge the alumni.)

Marie, thanks for sharing about "Good Cheer Family Fellowship". I long for the day that there will be Scripture memory groups at most if not all churches and Christian schools in the USA. Very neat that your church has got this going on. Maybe GCFF will inspire others to jump in.

Hi, This is Marie's mom. I started Memverse at the encouragement of my daughters, Marie, Josie and Kaylee, as well as a couple others from our church fellowship. We are all doing a mother daughter study of Proverbs 31 together as part of our Bright Lights Study this year. At last count, I think collectively we have conservatively shared your web site with over a 100 people in the past couple of months. BUT, when you share it personally with people, by opening the web site and going through the tabs and features together, it seems to come alive to them. This memorization experience certainly works a different part of the brain by utilizing typing skills and spelling !! As Marie told me, it seemed like I had nearly memorized her Bible Bee verses just by listening to them over and over last two years, and it certainly gave me an objective format to test that hypothesis. I am amazed at this system and the mathematical algorithm underlying the testing portion of the web site. This is truly a phenominal ( spelling :) web site and an encouragement to the parents of the children memorizing their verses. Thank you sincerely for your ministry. It would be fun to be part of a church group, and a bible bee group. It was hard to choose just one group. May the Lord bless you greatly for bringing this opportunity to so many overseas as well.

Though my sister encouraged me to join this site a while ago, I hadn't bothered to do so until some circumstances made me today. In a few things that have happened recently, I was amazed how God brought verses I had memorized years before flowing through my mind to comfort, calm, and guide me. That convinced me of the importance of memorizing the Bible, especially as I will be visiting my unsaved grandfather soon, and I want to be prepared if God brings an opportunity to talk to him.
I intend to start by memorizing most of Romans, and then move on to some of the other epistles. Knowing more about this site makes me very excited to start memorizing!

Bob Klein

Hi, My name is Bob and I am the Sunday School Director at our church in NY on Long Island. www.gracechurchmineola.com
I formerly was on the other site Phil had, maybe it was the same site and this is revamped, so Phil I guess is my referrer.

Our kids in Sunday School do the Assembly of God's Bible Quiz and Junior Bible Quiz. In their first year our kids made it to the district or state level which is great. We are a small church but the kids are really amazing. Hey, Jesus started with 12 men, and look at the church today.

I know so many scriptures, but the references always got me, I absolutely love the reference recall section. So I am adding the scriptures I know first, and then going from there. I had memorized 1 Timothy in the past, so I am adding this one chapter at a time, until I have it down again, then memverse will remind me when I need to review it. I heard there was a 1st Timothy challenge or program, but I do not know where to find out more. Anyone?

I would love to put a small banner ad on our church website to direct people here, does memverse have one? I made our church website, but have not yet made a banner ad. I am not sure exactly how to make one, but I know I could figure it out, unless someone has already done it.

Bob Klein - The 1st Timothy Project was last year's equivalent of the 1 John project. A group of people were memorizing the book together (see here: http://www.memverse.com/blog/main/Welcome_to_the_1_Timothy_Project).

That's great that you would like to add information about MemVerse to your church's website. To my knowledge, we do not yet have a banner ad, but we should be doing something like that soon. Thanks!

Bob, great to have you joining us here on memverse. Congratulations to your kids on their success with Bible Quizzing. I love all the Scripture that quizzing encourages people to memorize. I pray that many former quizzers will join us here on memverse to hold onto old quizzing verses for life!! Do you do Scripture memory at your Sunday School? Have you checked out the church leader board? It would be great to see your church listed. Maybe you could even run an incentive program with a celebration when the church gets in the top 50, top 40, etc. where people are not just memorizing Scripture but also encouraging and rejoicing with others with their Scripture memory. I'm sure either Alex or Andy (the site owner) will be in touch about the website banner - great idea. If either we make one or you make one, it would be great to let other websites know about it. Keep in touch.

Hi! I started Memverse in November of 2010. I am currently working on verses that I've learned through the years, but have slightly forgotten. Memverse is great for refreshing my memory! :) I'm not quite sure what I want to memorize in the future. But am leaning more towards memorizing a couple of the Psalms that I particularly like, and find encouraging.

In Christ, Lydia

This is a great thread. I love seeing everyone's avatars ... very cool.

I really want to encourage everyone to memorize with a friend. You'll find that it is an incredibly bonding experience to memorize some passages in common. Getting together and reciting a passage is great for accountability. But you'll also find that it's one of those experiences that sticks with you for many years.

Hi there, my name's Natalie. I joined Memverse just last Friday, and am enjoying it very much! Thank you to whoever made this available! I actually found out about Memverse from a link that you put up on the Rebelution. I'm currently memorizing Psalm 1 and several assorted verses that I've tried to memorize in the past, but have always ended up forgetting after a few months. Which is why I think this website, with the constant reviews, is going to help me so much! I'm not entirely sure what I want to memorize in the future, maybe Philippians or James.

God Bless, Natalie.

Hi Dakota, Thanks for the advice. I tried not pressing enter like you suggested, but it still didn't work. As for my sister signing up, she did use a different e-mail address, but a notice came up that said "Login use only letters, numbers, and .-_@ please." which she had already followed. So I don't know, a bit confusing. But thanks for the help anyway! :)

I stuck with BibleBee Parents / Coaches because we can use all the help we can get. (hint, hint If anyone out there wants to join :)

But ... as long as we are MEMORIZING ... that's what counts. But the "teams" do add some fun.
Blessings to everyone here! Your presence is an encouragement!

Hi, I'm Sarah. I was referred to Memverse by River La Belle by her thread in the Rebelution Forums. I am currently memorizing verses from my Awana Journey book and some of last year's Bible Bee verses. On June 1, I will start memorizing this year's Bible Bee verses. I am part of the Bible Bee group at this point.

Bob Klein, thats cool that you are on Long Island! I lived on Long Island until I was 9, and then moved to my home in Louisiana.

Bob, Alex, Phil, I could make a banner ad. I know HTML, and have done banner ad's before. If you have a certain picture that you would like as the ad, let me know. :)

I will be including a plug for the Bible Bee and Memverse (which I hope to use more and more in encouraging, inspiring, and equipping Scripture memory throughout Indonesia.) I don't currently have any power point screens to help me talk about memverse. If you could make something and email it as an attachment to philjohn1558@yahoo.com that would be awesome.

What is gravatar? And how long does it take to memorize verses? Does it take 30 days?

9e4e76867a45f08c928a247d0b17a863?d=wavatar
Josiah DeGraaf

Gravatar is a site that memverse uses to have pictures for the blog comments; It takes either 30 or 31 says to memorize a verse.... I'm pretty sure its 31 days...

E722bfd45297b0c0558ed8ed53593094?d=wavatar
Alex Watt

Jamie - Josiah is correct. Once the interval hits 31 days, the verse is classified as Memorized. So the easy answer is that it takes a month to have a verse marked memorized. If you are marking verses that you already know as a 4 or 5, then the interval goes up faster and thus it may take a few days short of a month for some of your verses. And Gravatar is widely used to provide "logos"/pictures of people. Currently, I have a simple person outline because I didn't like the default. :) I'm thinking about changing it.

Jo B

Hi!
I'm Jo (short for Joanne) and I live in the UK. I started using memverse at the beginning of the year. I'd memorised Psalm 23 'properly' last year (having learnt it previously in song form - slightly out of order!) and then I'd been reading a book that recommended memorising scripture - Elizabeth George I think. Two separate friends told me about memverse - the first of whom hasn't joined (as yet!) and voila - here I am.

Phil (re-your post in 1 Peter thread) - I'll have to have a think about how best to spread the word about memverse in the UK! I'll try to find out who the first person was to know about it at my church and ask where they heard about it.

I joined Memverse at the 2011 National Bible Bee under the guidance of Alex Watt. (Thanks, Alex!) Since then I have gotten my younger sister started, and she is quite enthusiastic about memorization. She frequently sends emails to everyone whose address she knows, listing all her verses. = )

It is nice to meet you Lenelyn. My name is Rosie Alexander. I will be 12 in February. I love memorizing verses too. It is so much fun memorizing God's Word!

I've never heard of the Tagalog language. It sounds interesting. I hope to get to know you better.
God bless!

Hi Hannah! Welcome to Memverse!!!

I don't know how much you're planning on memorizing to start with; if you want to memorize a fairly large chunk of Scripture, there is a project going on right now where people are memorizing the Sermon on the Mount. If you want to learn more about that, just go to the latest post on the blog. :)

If you want to memorize just a few verses to start with, you should go to the Popular Verses page (http://www.memverse.com/popular_verses). This is a list of 100 of the most popular verses.

I would recommend memorizing some passages such as Romans 12:1-2, Hebrews 12:1-2, Proverbs 3:5, Galatians 2:20, Psalm 1, Psalm 117... the list could go on and on! Whatever you choose, I wish you the best!

God bless!

Hi everyone I want to learn more verses and do not have one clue what other verses to add. It would be great if I could have some help on figuring what verses I could add!

Bethany Meckle

Add Psalm 119! :) Seriously, though, you could work on memorizing some of the Psalms; something that a Memverse user started a couple years ago was where you memorize one verse from each chapter of the New Testament. These are just some possibilities...

Hi Eowyn! Welcome to Memverse! You can read about how to join the weekly bible quizzes here: http://www.memverse.com/blog/main/live-bible-quizzes?page=1
And if you're between the ages of 7 and 18, the Bible Bee is a great summer program to get involved in. You can read about it here: www.biblebee.org

Hope this helps!

It is kind of hard, but I like it.
I'm trying for a Consistency badge and a Sermon on the Mount Badge ... I doubt I'll ever get the badges, especially the consistency one.

7c9e7c8e014f80cec126133f627b94cc?d=wavatar
Benjamin Ludwig

I'm not sure if you know this or not but if you memorize Matthew 5-7 you should get the Sermon on the Mount Badge, and to get the Consistency Badge you have to complete 350 memorization sessions to get a gold Badge, 320 to get a silver Badge, or 280 to get a bronze badge.

B4d76833fd361821658a5d03cbd8667c?d=wavatar
James C.

I know that, I just don't think that I will get the gold consistency badge. That is the one I want. Any other one would be fine, but not as nice.

I have a problem. 7 of my verses I rate as 5 or 4 and the e-factor either stays at 2.0 or decreases, what's going on and how do I fix it?

Ed176edb1d292c822f0df1ec4eee06c2?d=wavatar
Gloria

what is the e-factor anyway?

7c9e7c8e014f80cec126133f627b94cc?d=wavatar
Benjamin Ludwig

The e-factor is a number that indicates the difficulty of memorizing a given verse: the lower the number the more difficult the verse is to memorize.

Ed176edb1d292c822f0df1ec4eee06c2?d=wavatar
Gloria

Thank you! I was backwards... i thought that the lower the number the easier the verse!! it DOES make more sense now that I know its the opposite.

what does it mean when a verse says Pending instead of Learning?

7c9e7c8e014f80cec126133f627b94cc?d=wavatar

When a verse says Pending it means that the verse will not pop up in your review cue for a limited amount of time.

I do not know how much time it is.

Hey, I have a question:
if you memorize a verse and then want to delete it for some reason, would you still have the same amount of verses memorized? I mean, do you have to keep the verses you memorized to keep your memorizing level up?

Da0c115528ccb8e9cfb5be6d3c31a4da?d=wavatar
Bethany Meckle

@Gloria, yes, if you delete a verse considered memorized, your number or memorized verses will go down - although you don't drop down a level, you stay at the same level (although you would have more work to get to the next level). Hope that helps...

Ed176edb1d292c822f0df1ec4eee06c2?d=wavatar

Thank you
I don't think that i will be deleting any verses soon...
