It is a wise church that has a regular program to helpmotivate and guide the members in memorizing practicalScripture passages. This can be incorporated into everyteaching ministry of the church. The Sunday Schoolclasses can memorize Scriptures. The evangelistic classescan include a Scripture memory plan. Discipleshipclasses can include Scripture memorization. The wholechurch body can memorize Scripture together during theservices.Our church memorizes a verse each week, and one of themen lead the congregation in this by having them repeatthe verse from the previous week and then repeat the newverse. Sometimes the members are called upon to standup and quote the previous week’s verse. In this way, thechurch is continually committing Scripture to memory.The following are resources for Scripture memory:Treasure Path to Soul Winning [P.O.
