![]() Kids of pretty much any age can learn this verse written by John together. One of the shortest verses in the Bible, John 11:35 is by far one of the easiest to memorize. Below are 15 verses that have an excellent application for kids to hold onto and do a beautiful job of showing how much God truly does love them. There are thousands of verses in the Bible, and many of them may be short, but there are some that are especially worthy of memorization for kids. After sitting down and being quiet for the story, asking kids to get up and talk or shout (if you’re brave enough), gives them the freedom to engage and release some of the energy they may have been holding in while listening to the story. Giving short Bible verses to kids to memorize is a great way to challenge the brain and change up the rhythm of Sunday school. Having the Bible to lean on will help kids when a parent is not by their side for a significant moment or decision. The more Scriptures kids can memorize, the more likely it is that they will make God honoring decisions as they face temptation or those big adult decisions that will eventually come about in each one of their lives. Memorizing Scripture has many benefits that help kids in the here-and-now, but one of the most important things that it will do for them is to put God’s love, important words, and morals into their hearts for years and years to come. In multiple places, the Bible, and specifically God (Deuteronomy 11:18), says to keep what the Scriptures say in our hearts. ![]() Non-commercial reproduction permitted.The Bible is filled with wonderful Scriptures to help guide, and teach on many different topics. I call upon it almost every day to lead me to references I love, but can’t remember the exact verse. But, I want to share it because memorizing this key has blessed my life for four decades, and has had a lot to do with why I do what I do today. We’re all busy in various ways, and it does require a small but sustained effort. I know just a few of you will actually make use of this tool. Let me know if you would like these additional Scriptorian’s Keys. I have been planning to make a similar key for the New Testament. It contains the key and a link where you can download the PDF version of the Scriptorian’s Key for the Book of Mormon and D&C. I have created a new page on the Un-Blog “ Scriptorian’s Key“. In less than three months you will be a Book of Mormon scriptorian. Add 1, review 4 every day until you are finished. Say your morning prayers and head off to your day. Here’s what I suggest: Get up each morning, do your morning routine, sit down for 2 minutes and memorize one more chapter heading, then review the previous four days. It has only 90 simplified chapter headings which give you mastery of the whole book! They are short and easy to remember. I have prepared a document I call “Scriptorian’s Key to the Book of Mormon”. It actually gives you scripture mastery with minimal effort. You can flip to that book, look at your highlights, and find it in a heartbeat. Once you memorize that information, every time you try to remember “that scripture about the atonement”, the odds are it is in 2 Nephi 9. For example, 2 Nephi 9 (which we learned about last Sunday) is about the Atonement of Christ. ![]() Here’s how it works – instead of memorizing hundreds of scriptures, you just memorize important chapter headings. I learned this on my mission almost 40 years ago, and I still remember most of it. It’s simple to use, and requires a tenth as much memory power as memorizing hundreds of scriptures. ![]() I want to share once again a powerful tool I’ve found to scripture mastery.
