I started memorizing Bible verses in Baptist Sunday School, ages 5-8. And every week a different verse, and Psalm 23, and the Beautitudes. So a great start, especially since it is so much easier to memorize when we are young. (As an aside, I sure wish I had been taught Greek and Hebrew when I was younger. Even high school age. I learned French when I was that age, and it is just there, in my memory!)
Of course, the sad parts of my Bible memory journey, was going to an apostate church from age 9-11 never even needing a Bible, and then dropping out of church completely. But, God was good, and brought me back!
I used to memorize a verse every time God shone the spotlight on it. So, I have loads of verses, and their address (book, chapter and number!) in my brain from that. But, the older I got, the more God wanted me to learn. I finally got prodded to learn Romans 5. I was almost there, but stopped because of my med failure. RA attacks my brain, when it is out of control, and I can't remember my own name. But, now it is under control, so perhaps this will be a goal.
Besides Romans 5, and have made headway on Romans 8. I would also like to learn Psalm 42. Of course, many of these chapters have life verses of mine in them. So putting those verses in context, only makes sense.
I'm curious why you memorize Rev. 21-22, Marano? Just because it is the part where we win?
As for Dusty Rhodes, just no! It shows you have not worked on memorizing the bible, because you do not know that the Bible itself tells us to memorize the Word of God? In fact, the longest chapter in the Bible, Psalm 119 is about memorizing the Bible. There are actually 7 different Hebrew words involved in this chapter, describing how important it is to memorize the Word of God.
"11 I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:11
