       Don’t Just Learn from the Bible. Remember It!
       by Rick Warren
       “Listen carefully to my words. Don’t lose sight of them. Let
       them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to
       those who find them, and healing to their whole body” (Proverbs
       4:20b-22 NLT, second edition).
       The Bible says this about wisdom in Proverbs 22:17-18: “Listen,
       and I will teach you what the wise have said. Study their
       teachings, and you will be glad if you remember them and can
       quote them” (TEV). Notice the four verbs in that sentence:
       listen, study, remember, quote. Those are marks of wisdom.
       You can’t just learn something and become wiser; you’ve got to
       remember it. And you can’t just remember it; you’ve got to
       reinforce it. Because if you don’t remember and reinforce it,
       you end up having to learn the same lesson over and over.
       You have to retain it to remember it so you can review it so you
       can apply it.
       People say, “I can’t remember anything!” Oh, yes you can. You
       remember what’s important to you. You remember what you love.
       You remember what matters to you.
       For instance a lot of you say, “I can’t memorize the Bible.” But
       you remember every baseball or football statistic for the last
       season. Or you say, “I can’t remember the Bible,” but you can
       quote all kinds of lyrics to popular songs or every step to a
       favorite recipe or something else you care about. You remember
       what’s important to you.
       If the truth becomes important to you, you will remember it. You
       will remember and you will rehearse it and you will reinforce it
       and you will review it in your life. Then, it can change your
       life.
       “Listen carefully to my words. Don’t lose sight of them. Let
       them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to
       those who find them, and healing to their whole body” (Proverbs
       4:20b-22 NLT, second edition).
