Session 6

From here it's pretty easy to see the finish line. Ironically, a great view of it is from the front of your book. The completion record on page 5 outlines what you've accomplished, where you're headed and maybe where you need to focus.

This week you may be able to complete the entire section on scripture memory. If you quote all five verses word perfect and you've done that for seven days -- that's it. Remember, use a translation, not a paraphrase. They're usually more concise and therefore easier to memorize and they sound more authoritative.

Watermark uses NASB a lot, but most of our class is using NIV since it's an easier read.

You can also see there won't be any more layers added to your quiet time. We started with reading and marking. Then we learned how to have a conversation by incorporating prayer and being more purposeful in our time with the Lord. Now that you're using the Bible Reading Highlights Record, or a reasonable facsimile that's the complete quiet time. Do it 7 straight days for the course, the rest of your life to stay the course.

For next week, memorize "Assurance of Guidance," Proverbs 3:5-6.
Complete an Evangalism Prayer list.
Read and be ready to discuss "Guide to Conversational Prayer" (pp. 58-60)
There's no bible study, so take a moment to look at what you've accomplished and point to what you'd still like to accomplish in this class.

Hey everyone,
just a couple quick notes-
If you can spare an hour or so, go through the link to "Summit Blog" and listen to Daws Trotman's story (under "We Mean Business.") It'll give you a whole new perspective on the power of scripture memory.
And more on perseverance . . . I've been looking for running metaphors and found Hebrews 12:1: "Therefore, since we are surrounded in a such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and run with perseverance the race marked out for us."
It doesn't get any better.
