Motto of the Boy Scouts of America - don't ya know. Be Prepared. As I was working on the study for the Bible Memorization section of our H.A.B.I.T.S. study my Microsoft Word Clipboard quit working. Which meant that I couldn't do my usual side by side of the devotion with a version of the Bible from crosswalk.com.Do you see where this is going?

Romans 1:28 "Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done." And the list of "what ought not to be done" goes on for another four verses if you want to check it out.
to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done." And the list of "what ought not to be done" goes on for another four verses if you want to check it out.So, what do you think? Is it still important to memorize scripture? Why or why not? The B.D.F. awaits your thoughts.
