Weekly Challenge

GREAT dialogue last night!  Through looking at Psalm 1:1-6 we determined that the taking pleasure in obeying God's commands, delighting in His Word, and meditating on it day and night leads to:
Blessedness
Stability
Fruit
Prosperity
The Lord's Presence, etc.

The Challenge:
1) Please continue praying through Scripture.
2) In order to facilitate mediation on God's Word we are starting a Scripture memorization campaign.  Each week we will memorize a new verse and hope to see several people willing to recite in class.  This week we will memorize Mark 1:35:
"In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there."
Feel free to memorize whatever version you like; and if there is another passage that is on your heart go for it.  The class will be blessed to hear what God has laid in your heart.

Here is a short clip from John Piper giving his testimony on memorizing Scripture:

And for anyone struggling with how to memorize perhaps this can help:
