At one point in my spiritual walk I thought I was pretty good at memorizing scripture. I’ve either lost that “ability” or need a different technique, tactic, or methodology as I’ve gotten older…
Or perhaps I’ve just become more lazy…? (Doh!)
In any case, there’s an app for that…
The Bible Memory App from Mobilize Faith is pretty darn neat.
Check out this YouTube video of the experience:
You’ll end up spending a few bucks for it but how much is scripture memorization worth to you? Probably more than a few bucks.
Features:
- Fun and effective verse memorization.
Read the Bible verse, Review it a phrase at a time and then jump to Quiz mode - Over 250 verses.
The most popular Bible verses organized into 40 categories - Share Bible verses.
Easily email your friends Bible verses that you want to share - Retention tests.
Random tests allow you to test your memory on memorized verse - Multiple Translations.
Four translations come with the app: King James, New King James,NIV and NASB - Daily reminders.
Set up a time every day for your iPhone to remind you to memorize a verse - Facebook integration.
Post your Bible verses on your Facebook wall in one easy step - Accountability Partners.
Set up a study buddy and alert him or her whenever you have memorized a verse
If someone “cannot” memorize scripture, this isn’t going to help them, an iPhone app isn’t going to make it easier. I have a very hard time memorizing scripture, but I keep working at it. Getting an accountability partner, quizzing yourself, repeating it over and over are all great things, but there is absolutely no need to pay for it.
In Jesus’ day CHILDREN were memorizing entire BOOKS of the Tanach, and today we are using technological advances as crutches in an attempt to get closer to God. Would you get an iPhone app to learn about your brother, mother or father?
How much is scripture memorization worth to me? Lots and lots of time and effort.
Isn’t your Bible one such technological advancement?

i think you’re a little too critical here… people learn in various and different ways. one size doesn’t fit all…!
yep. definitely have been looking for something like this. awesome, thanks for the heads up.
word.
Reason # 45,021 why I should own an iPhone haha.
That actually looks really well done…
what handset do you have?
in re: to “what handset do you have?”, I use the Samsung Stone-Age. I’ll probably switch to iPhone when it comes to Verizon.
Cool. Downloading now.
Memorizing God’s word would be enough reason to switch from Android to iPhone.
But luckily for all happy Android owners, there is a memorization app for their devices, too: ‘Remember Me’ is available on the Android Market for free.
Keep it up and in a new year !
If you are looking for a mobile bible memorization app, you should check out Fighter Verses. It has a ton of features and it still adding more. I think it really does help people to memorize scripture who may have trouble doing it usually. Just having the verses in your pocket and available in a moment is a huge help.
