LeRoy Eims on the importance of Scripture memory: "I think two of the master strokes of the devil have been to convince people he doesn't exist, and that Scripture memory is only for children. He remembers the humility of defeat when Jesus Christ, who was tempted in all points like as we are, met him with the Word of God." (What Every Christian Should Know About Growing; p. 26-27)

Titus 1:7

Titus 1:7
Since an overseer is entrusted with God's work, he must be blameless - not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.

Review your first 6 verses, see if you're on target so far.

Add today's verse.  Learn it word by word, phrase by phrase or line by line.

Think about why God included these as qualifications for leadership in the church. The answer is in the word since.  Have you also been entrusted with God's work? Think about it.

Share what you are learning with your children. They need to know these things, and it will only take a minute or two.  How will they know unless you tell them? Don't count on someone else.

What are you doing today that will let you fit in a minute to practice? Are you shoveling the driveway, going for a walk, waiting at the dr or driving to work?
