EXACTLY (not that I fully understand election and predestination, etc etc. It ultimately remains somewhat of Mystery) But the Bible clearly teaches God's sovereignty and election. I am not proud enough (or knowledgeable enough) to go against it.

List of Calvinists: Calvin Luther (similar beliefs of predestination, etc) Charles Spurgeon R C Sproul Tim Keller John MacArthur J C Ryle Charles Simeon I could go on and on and on.... So all these people are believers in a "false doctrine"??? I think not,.

@EllaFlash You probably don't want to follow me, then. I am basically a Calvinist.

I get what you are saying, but it's not complete and kind of a caricature of Piper's position. Also not helpful in the discussion of the importance of memorizing Scripture. A bit of sniping?

7. Bible Memory Gives us a Matrix for Fellowship with Jesus He talks to me through His word, and I speak back to Him in prayer. And if the Bible is in our minds, we can talk anywhere. Through the Bible we can reliably hear God speak.

6. Bible Memory Gives us Words to Say in Relationships with Others How does Scripture memory guide us in our relationship with those around us? Memorizing Scripture provides the strongest and sweetest words for ministering to others in need.

5. Bible Memory is Ammunition to Fight the Devil A Christian opposing the devil unprepared is no different than a soldier going to war without his gun and gear. It’s ridiculous. You will not be ready to fight that enemy without the Word of God impressed on your mind.

4. Bible Memory is a Defense Against False Teaching False teaching finds its way into the body of Christ where deep understanding of the Bible is lacking.

3. Bible Memory Provides a Defense Against Temptation The purpose of memorizing the Bible is not only for personal transformation, but also as a defense. Even the Lord Jesus, as He was being tempted by Satan, used Scripture as a defense.

2. Bible Memory Strengthens Your Faith “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God” Romans 10:17 Meditating and hearing God’s Word in our minds is exactly how we can be “transformed by the renewing of our minds".

1. Memorization Leads to a Deeper Understanding of God’s Word “Memorizing Scripture makes meditation possible at times when you can’t be reading the Bible and is the pathway to deeper understanding.”
