Memorizing Scripture Like They Did in Bible Times
In ancient times, people of faith knew scripture by heart. But today, for many of us, it can seem almost impossible to memorize bible verses. Ed Stetzer talks with Kenneth Berding about his book, The Bible by Heart: The Bible's Own Method for Scripture Memory and habits you can develop to internalize entire passages of scripture, the same way people did in Bible times. In learning how to give God's word a permanent place in your life, you'll be able to draw upon its wisdom whenever you need it on Ed Stetzer Live.
