50 Bible Verses to Memorize

50 Bible Verses to Memorize

Today I’m sharing a list of 50 Bible verses for you to memorize and teach to your children. It is so easy for most children to commit things to memory when they’re young, so why not capitalize on that ability and fill their heads with something of infinitely greater value than nursery rhymes and commercial jingles?

Not that nursery rhymes don’t have their place. But if you’ve got to pick only one thing to allot brain space to, I’d recommend going with the Word of God.

That’s part of the reason God tells His people to “lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.”

Are you wondering where or how to begin? Try starting with the following fifty verses (scroll down for a free printable copy of this list).

Read these verses to your children. Discuss them. Set them to music and invent hand motions if you like. Just do whatever you can to hide God’s Word in your own heart and plant it deeply within the hearts of your children. Then pray that it will bear a bumper crop of spiritual fruit and lifelong loving service.

50 Bible Verses Everyone Should Know

  2. “Therefore shall you lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

And you shall write them upon the door posts of your house, and upon your gates” – Deuteronomy 11:18-20

      No, we haven’t. They were still showing Jesus last time we were in Branson, which we’d already seen. And we were in Pennsylvania briefly this summer, but not long enough to catch a showing there. I’m hoping we can go again next spring. I heard they were going to do Noah next, but haven’t confirmed that.

        They have David on stage right now in Lancaster, and Jesus on stage right now in Branson. Next year they have Moses on the Lancaster stage, and Queen Esther on the Branson stage. They also have a Christmas play called the Miracle of Christmas which is going to be on stage in both locations. It will be on the Branson stage from November 5 – December 31, 2022. It will be on the Lancaster stage from November 4 – December 30, 2023. Noah isn’t anywhere on the schedule right now. Have you guys purchased their dvds at all? All of their dvds are filmed on the Lancaster stage the year they are opened to the public. I think you guys would really love them!! In fact, my family just watched S&S Joseph again a couple nights ago (Sunday night.) We were all very moved again by it. Sight & Sound is also on Facebook too, so you can follow them there too.

        Hope this information helped!

          Thank you for that update. I’m on their mailing list, so I must’ve seen Noah as one of the available screenings on S&S TV. We’ll have to check out the videos. Esther is one of my favorite stories, so we will definitely have to make plans to see that one in Branson next year!

            Yes, that’s probably where you saw Noah. I saw Esther on dvd back in March. I think your family would love it! And Moses too! And all of the other ones!😁🙂

Every spring, I pull out my little Easter journal, Every spring, I pull out my little Easter journal, read through it again, and complete a few more pages.  Packed with scripture, word studies, writing prompts, and gorgeous vintage artwork to color, it’s a great way to focus my heart and mind on the unfathomable love and unmerited grace that compelled Jesus to conquer sin, death, and the grave on behalf of all who put their trust in Him (including ME🙋‍♀️)!  If you enjoy coloring, journaling, and/or reflecting on Christ’s love, you can find BECAUSE HE LIVES — along with all of my other devotional journals — on Amazon.

I love leaving all our windows open to let the lig I love leaving all our windows open to let the light shine through, but the glare off this white wall blinds me whenever I’m washing dishes at our kitchen sink. So I decided to paint a mural to help absorb some of the reflected light!  Also, I figured it would be easier to keep painted shrubs and flowers alive than the real thing since we don’t have a sprinkler system and I sometimes forget to water the real stuff until it is limp and wilted — or worse!  #flandersfamilyhome #wallart #outdoorproject
I finished listening to David Epstein’s RANGE ye I finished listening to David Epstein’s RANGE yesterday. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  What an inspiring book! I told my husband, who’d read it years before, that this book really made me grateful we had chosen to homeschool.  “That’s exactly what I thought when I finished reading it!” he responded.  It’s not that one CAN’T learn to think broadly in a traditional classroom — Doug and I both attended public schools as children, earned specialized degrees in college and graduate/medical school, yet still managed to retain a healthy curiosity about a wide range of topics.  It is just that our modern educational system favors benchmarked learning and early specialization, often at the expense of making interdisciplinary connections or pursuing tangential topics.  Each teacher piles on homework in a given subject, seldom pausing to point out how the material being presented in one course relates to anything the student is learning in other classes.  Modern classrooms stress outcomes, grades, results. They have little time or patience for the kind of “mental meandering” and experimentation that is vital to innovation.  Happily for us, that hasn’t been the case with homeschooling. We teach our kids the basics, expose them to a broad range of books, people, places, and ideas, let them delve deeply into investigating topics or developing skills that interest them, and discuss with genuine enthusiasm and appreciation all the things each of us are learning — collectively and individually — and how it all fits into the framework of our Christian worldview.  As parents, I don’t think Doug and I deliberately set out to create that kind of environment for our kids when we first started teaching them at home, but by God’s grace, that is what our homeschooling experiment evolved into. And books like Range make me extra thankful that is the case. ❤️  #flandersfamilyreads #bookstagram #homeschooling #lifestyleoflearning #recommendedreading

This tenacious Dalmatian was courageous, resourceful, and made an excellent father. 🐶  And I dressed as a Public Service Announcement: Parents, make sure you watch your children around Disney as vigilantly as you’d guard your puppies around Cruella de Vil!🚧  #homeschoolcoopthemedays
I was privileged to get a sneak peak at Hard Is No I was privileged to get a sneak peak at Hard Is Not the Same Thing as Bad, chapter by chapter, as it was being written And I absolutely loved it!  Now (at last!) it’s officially available for preorder. I ordered mine yesterday and can hardly wait to read the print copy, complete with gorgeous artwork from @paintandprose and the unique perspective Dad shares the end of each chapter!  I’m overjoyed to think how incredibly blessed families across the globe are going to be when they read the timely, encouraging, biblically-grounded message presented in this beautifully written book. ❤️  #flandersfamilyreads #bookstagram #hardisnotthesamethingasbad
On this date in 1987, my husband officially asked On this date in 1987, my husband officially asked me to marry him before slipping onto my finger an antique diamond ring his grandmother had taken off her own hand two days earlier and hand sized to fit mine.  He proposed on bended knee in the living room of his grandparents’ house in Corpus Christi, with Nanny and Poppie looking on, offering constructive criticism, and making him back up and re-do all the parts that THEY found unsatisfactory the first time. 😂😂🤣  The truth is, Doug and I had already been planning our wedding — and, even more importantly, discussing our hopes, dreams, and expectations for the life we’d share together after the ceremony — for months before his grandparents insisted he formalize things with an official proposal of marriage and a gorgeous ring I’ve worn proudly ever since. 💍  Either way — with or without a ring or a formal proposal — my answer to the question was a resounding “YES!” Agreeing to marry Doug remains one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. ❤️❤️❤️  #officiallyengaged #happilyeverafter

One thing the kids and I enjoy doing on vacation i One thing the kids and I enjoy doing on vacation is working puzzles. We start a 1000-piece jigsaw as soon as we arrive at our destination and race the clock to finish before time to leave.  Abby especially enjoys puzzles and is usually the one pushing for us to continue this tradition, although she abandoned me most of our evenings this trip to play pool with her brother.  Gabriel is an early riser though and made up for it by working on the puzzle with me in the mornings.  Dad and Nana aren’t huge fans of jigsaws, but we saved the last two pieces for them to put in, so they could say they helped, too. 😂
