9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. 10 With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! 11 I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
PURPOSE
The purpose of “Verses to Remember” (V2R) is to bring each member of your church into a structured Scripture Memory Program. The strength of the program hinges on a collective commitment to learn and memorize the scripture together. It is the Word that the Holy Spirit uses to quicken us, and accordingly, there ought to be a concerted effort to have the Word stored up in our hearts. Through Scripture memorization, your local fellowship is bound to grow as they live “according to [God’s] word”. While the goal of this program is that the Scripture be memorized, it’s success is NOT based on that but rather on changed lives.
