Pastor Wayne's World
When I was 10 years old, I attended Vacation Bible School, and as part of that one-week school, we were required to memorize scripture. There was a prescribed list of many Bible verses, and once you correctly recited the bible passage to the pastor, you received a colorful ribbon with that Bible verse on it. The person who memorized the most verses would win a leather-bound Bible with their name embossed in gold on the outside. I was determined to win that Bible. I worked hard, and I spent all my time memorizing Bible verses. Sometimes I would remember three verses at once. They ran out of Bible verses for me to remember, so they came up with additional ones. I won the Bible! I was so proud!
Could I do that today? Nope! I have trouble remembering what I ate for dinner last night! Call it old age or just too much information trying to get inside my brain! In cooperation with the Education Team, we are establishing a verse of the month for Sunday School and for each and every person in the church! I want to encourage you to take the time to memorize the verse for the month and apply it to your daily life. Psalm 119:11 reads “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” (NIV) It’s a great goal, and it is attainable! Blessings!
