4 Reasons to Memorize Scripture

God promises He will use it
“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,And do not return there, but water the earth,And make it bring forth and bud,That it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,But it shall accomplish what I please,And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”

God authored
it
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
—2 Timothy 3:16-17

Therefore, we want to get…
as deep into the hearts as we can
as much of God’s Word as we can
of as many
children as we can
Much Deep Many
Ways Kids Will Benefit
When Scripture is in their hearts…
11 It will keep them from sin.
22 It will equip them to witness.
33 It will comfort them in a crisis
Introducing C2X ’06…
A national initiative… to encourage Awana children and youth to increase the amount of Scripture memorized; to lengthen the retention of that Scripture, and to strengthen obedience to it.
PowerUP
What will we try to do?
The object: More Scripture…
Learn more verses More deeply…in
Increase retention More hearts.
Emphasize application
How will we measure it?
The easy measure:
More Awana books completed
The real objective:
More children with a Biblical worldview
Vital Signs
Are general indicators of health; Like blood pressure and
pulse, vital signs of an Awana Club give us a general idea of its health
Vital Signs
…of an Awana club: Attendance Handbook completion An Awana club that has both
healthy attendance and a healthy handbook completion percentage is likely a healthy club.
The Two C2X National Initiatives…In 2005…
focused on kid-to-kid evangelism
measured by club attendance
In 2006… focused on deepening and broadening Scripture memory
measured by handbook completion
