Tip of the Day

It has been recommended that I post a "Tip of the Day" for those of you who find the time to follow the blog...
Tip of the Day: Memorize the verse for the week.I John 1:1

Find memory tricks to help and then say it over and over in your head as you go about your work. Driving is a great time to practice.
(Stop to free up some mental space for prayer, too)

This week at Northside we are reviewing Psalm 27. If you have the Psalm down, it is a good opportunity to get a little ahead on I John 1:1.

As you practice I John 1:1, I have noticed some helpful hints:
There are 4 "which."
The first "which" is a part of the intro of the verse.
The other 3 precede the letters h for heard, e for seen with our eyes, l for looked at and hands have handled. It almost spells the word help which is what the "Word of Life" is for us all the time.
The rest of the chapter will go more easily if you remember that it is all about the Lord Jesus Christ and what He is for us...our eternal life, our common bond of fellowship one with another, and God with us.

I also recommend that you look over the "homework" for the new Bible Study starting on Sunday. The questions will help prepare for a great study of the book of I John.

Words cannot explain the blessing that comes from attempting to memorize God's Word. It is truly peace to the soul and strength in times of temptation!

Have a blessed weekend!
