One of the things I remember most from my childhood are the Bible verses and songs I learned in Sunday School, VBS and at home. In Bible college, I committed many Scripture verses to memory and they still come back to me, especially in the difficult times, when the Spirit brings them to my mind.
At the same time, I wish I'd had the opportunity for more intensive Scripture study as a child, not only memorizing verses but understanding them in context and learning how they apply to my life. There are plenty of Scripture songs I missed out on too, as many of the music available now wasn't made yet when I was a little one.
No Sunday School curriculum can replace what a parent can teach their children about the Lord and His Word! So I spent some time looking at some Scripture memory verse programs or systems but couldn't find exactly what I wanted.
I was hoping for a way to:
- Teach the same verses to both my older and younger children at a level where they could learn alongside each other
- Use verses that could be memorized in the shorter and longer version. There were specific truths we wanted to impart to our children, most importantly God's plan of salvation.
I also knew from experience that Scripture is easily learned when paired with songs! So I decided to combine all these elements and create my own system, which is working very well for our children.
Thanks to some encouragement from a blogging friend, I decided to turn these ideas into an eBook, which is now available for you as God's Word in My Heart: A Scripture Learning Guide with Memory Verses!
This eBook includes:
- Ideas for teaching Scripture to your children, from the baby on up
- List of Songs and other Go-Alongs for learning Scripture
- List of specific songs that go with the memory verses
- Printable Scripture memory verses {presented in short and long form for all ages} for use at home, school or church
- ABC Memory Verses
- Verses on Sin and Salvation
There are now four versions of God's Word in My Heart available:
- ESV (English Standard Version)
- KJV (King James Version)
- NASB (New American Standard)
- Variety (ESV, NIV 1984, NASB, NKJV)
I created this book so that it can be used with kids of any age {even those of us who are "big kids"}!
This Scripture memory guide is designed primarily for toddlers through the upper elementary ages, but the printable verses make it a great springboard for junior high and high school memory work as well. Moms and dads will also find great encouragement by learning or relearning these verses too!
