Here at Fellowship, we emphasize it very intentionally, and even quote our verses as part of our Worship Gathering each Sunday morning.
Several weeks back, we spent a few weeks memorizing Romans 5:1-11, and I know that for me, while it was certainly a significant task, it was very rewarding. I still don't have it down "rock solid" like I want to, but I'll get there.
We memorized that passage as an application of one of the messages that I preached in Romans. Currently, we're in Romans 7, but we'll be in Romans 8 in just a few short weeks. What a fantastic chapter this is and I just want to point you to something that can, I think, help you prepare your heart for our time in that wonderful chapter.
I came across this video several years ago and noticed right away that not only does John Piper have all of Romans 8 memorized, but it has obviously had a great impact on him. While I'm not suggesting that we all memorize the entire chapter, let's start even now to read and meditate on it (and who knows, maybe you'll plant some of it in your heart through memory along the way) so that when we get there - we're truly ready for what God wants to say to us through His Word.
May God use His Word, through the Spirit, to truly impact your heart!
Soli Deo Gloria!
Rob
