As a mom with a teen aged daughter still at home, and with all the distractions of Facebook, and time commitments to school work, and music activities, I have despaired of coming up with a viable scripture memorization plan for my daughter, Mary. Now I have a FREE solution I would like to share with you.
In our modern technology driven world, author Robert J. Morgan makes an airtight case for scripture memorization in 100 Bible Verses Everyone Should Know by Heart.
He says:
“It’s vital for mental and emotional health and for spiritual well-being,” he writes. “It changes the atmosphere of every family and alters the weather forecast of every day.”
Enjoy FREE printable memory cards for each of these 100 recommended verses, and learn more about the book here.
I plan to use them for devotional time and for my own mental challenge.
Tell me what scripture memorization plan works best for your family.

For us the kids take part in a local AWANA group. It is not at our church but it is run well and motivation is not even an issue. We work on them throughout the week and they know they must recite thier verse(s) to me as we get in the car to go to club night.
The younger kids like getting the badges.
I did find in the middle school age group the group did not put any effort into memorization and unfortunately the leadership does not emphasize it at this age. That makes it more difficult.
My older kids have moved up into the high school group this year and once again it is encouraged. Yeah! We have a great group of kids again who all are making an effort and are encouraging to each other. They are also doing a great bible study too.
Now that leaves the mom ;0) I think I’ll take a look at these cards for me!
