I just brushed my teeth and swished some serious mouthwash and my entire mouth feels so clean, don’t you just love that feeling?!

I do.

But it only lasts for a short while.  Second-grade science class made crystal clear to us all that as soon as we’re done brushing our teeth, the plaque process restarts immediately and before long, that super-clean, super-fresh feeling fades.

Endless cycle.

And that’s exactly how it is with the Christian life!

We read (or better yet, study or memorize!) the Bible and pray and confess our sins and feel so “clean” and “fresh” spiritually  and indeed emotionally.  But before long the “sin process” restarts and attacks not our mouth but rather our heart and mind.  (And definitely our tongue!  James 3.)

It would be FANTASTIC if there were a toothpaste which lasted, which sustained its cleansing effect forever, permanently.  Fantastic… and fantastical  since, after some many centuries of success-less trying, that’s almost certainly “not gonna happen.”  But I’m thrilled to tell you that said forecast does not apply spiritually!  Because “Thy word [i.e., the Bible] I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin…” (Psalm 119:11).  Unfortunately but as we all know to be reality:  (a) nobody can memorize and recite Scripture (or even just read it) 24 hours a day (thus giving the sin process its toehold, its cue to restart anew) and (b) comparatively few people – even mature believers – memorize Scripture on a regular, systematic basis at all.

One of the main goals and purposes of BibleMemory.ORG is to change that second part!  Such that even though the first hurdle (i.e., doing so every minute of the day) will obviously remain intact for the rest of our physical lives, I am absolutely certain that the Lord is going to lead many millions of Christians to the point that they’re reciting or meditating on the Bible at least once every hour.

Memorizing and reciting Scripture is like brushing one’s mind and heart and spirit and soul.  That’s right:  just as brushing our teeth restores a clean and fresh feeling to our mouth, so also the Bible – if ingested – restores the soul…

• “The law of the Lord [i.e., the Bible] is perfect, restoring the soul” (Psalm 19:7a)

… and cleans and purifies and sanctifies the entire person…

• “Sanctify them by Your truth.  Your word [i.e., the Bible] is truth.” (John 17:17, NKJV)

… and actually and literally causes  spiritual growth.

• “like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word [i.e., the Bible], that by it you may grow in respect to salvation” (1 Peter 2:2)

How many of us would even THINK ABOUT, even CONSIDER going an entire day without brushing our teeth?

Yet how many go an entire week or month or (gasp!) year without memorizing and reciting Scripture?

With your help and by God’s good grace and great power, that’s about to change!  What a wonderful world it will be when we see millions of people memorizing and meditating on Scripture many times throughout each day!  May it be so.
