On Monday I shared an article by Tim Challies compiling some reasons for Scripture memory from Donald Whitney's book, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life. But memorizing Scripture is something that's easier said than done. I thought I'd compile a few resources to aid you in this task.
The Verses Project - This is definitely one of the coolest resources I've seen when it comes to memorizing Scripture. The Verses Project is a website with over one hundred Scripture verses put to music, along with artwork of the verses to assist you in your memory (you can download it as desktop, tablet, or mobile phone wallpaper or print it as a poster), and a devotional. If you're looking for just the artwork from The Verses Project, as well as a few extras not on their site, you can check out Hand Lettering Co.
Typographic Verses - Typographic Verses is for the visual learners out there. If you need the verse in front of you, TV has you covered. They, like The Verses Project and Hand Lettering Co., have dozens of free downloadable pictures of Scripture verses.
"An Extended Approach to Memorizing Scripture"- This lengthy article by Andrew Davis is free as a PDF, but if you don't like PDFs it was also recently made into a Kindle book which you can purchase for $.94 on Amazon. If you're looking for a structured method for Scripture memory and a way to make the verses stick forever, Davis has the answer.
Fighter Verses - A resource you can do on your own, with your kids, or with your church, Fighter Verses is an adaptable program to memorize Scripture. It has an app and it includes devotionals, resources, tips, music, plans, charts, and lists of categorical verses to memorize. For the organizer, this is definitely a viable option.
Music and More - Here are a few more miscellaneous resources:
Seeds Family Worship - Scripture put to music, designed especially for children and families. Their newest album is due out in the fall.
Memorize Now - A flash card memory system.
JumpStart3 and The Rizers - Two more options of Scripture put to music, this more geared towards kids and in the way of Top 40 style music. JumpStart3 does sometimes add some extra lyrics in their songs, all of which may not be totally accurate. But the simple verses to Scripture are very catchy. And The Rizers have some fun videos to go with a bunch of their songs.
There are so many creative ways to memorize Scripture, ways to get over slumps and discouragement. Don't give up on Scripture memory because it's hard. Persevere, and you will feel its rewards!
