God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Memory Cross has created a fun way to memorize Bible verses. It is a simple piece of paper with an amazing design that fascinates children and adults. Each card consists of four panels designed to make an endless loop. For memorizing Scripture this system has a number of advantages:
It is fun and kids really like to play with it. For many kids they have a hard time putting it down which means they'll fold it over and over again reading the Scripture as they fold through the panels.
It breaks the Bible verse into four panels making it easier to memorize.
Each panel has one part of the Scripture allowing kids to reflect on what that part means to them.
Why kids need to memorize Scripture
The Bible is God's Word which changes lives, but only if it is internalized and reflected on. While reading the Bible is good it is not enough. The Pharisees knew the Bible better well but they did not reflect on the implications for their lives. Proverbs 4:21 says this: "Don't lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart,"
Chuck Swindoll wrote, "I know of no other single practice in the Christian life more rewarding, practically speaking, than Scripture memorization. . . . No other single exercise pays greater spiritual dividends! Your prayer life will be strengthened. Your witnessing will be sharper and much more effective. Your attitudes and outlook will begin to change. Your mind will become alert and observant. Your confidence and assurance will be enhanced. Your faith will be solidified" (Growing Strong in the Seasons of Life [Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1994], p. 61).
Rick Warren in the Purpose Driven Life listed the benefits of memorizing Bible verses as follows:
Resist temptation
Make wise decisions
Reduce Stress
Build confidence
Offer good advice
Share your faith
That's a pretty good gift to give kids. The video shows how each Memory Cross folds.
Loved the Easter story which touches on all the important facts. Everyone loved it. The movement and action of the cross help reinforce the greatest story ever told!
I have bought these cards several times for my 1st and 2nd grade Sunday school class. Kids love to unfold them and see the story. I love that the card focuses on Jesus his triumphant entry,death and resurrection. The kids can share the story with others.
These cards are great! The kids love them. Parents and teachers tell how the kids are loving them and practicing them continually.
They are a great teaching tool and give the kids ways to share about Jesus!!!
I appreciate that these beautiful cards were free from the prayer to accept Christ as one ‘s Savior. We as Lutheran Christians do not stress that and prefer to point baptism out to the children. This unique way to present the card was surely a fun way for the children to get the whole message.
I love these memory cross witnessing tools with “Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, except thru me.” Not only is it a critically important verse from the Bible, but it is presented in an interesting way that opens up the conversation leading to sharing it.
I love these Christmas cards and they are a great witness to people that I’m trying to gently share. God‘s love with. this is the second year. I’m sending out these Christmas cards. We also ordered the Halloween tracks for trunk or treat the kids Just love them. thank you so much. Keep going for God💖
I handed out the 10 commandment memory cross and all the kids loved It! They wanted more to give to their friends! They said it was a fidget paper 10 commandments! I was cool and into where the kids are at with their friends at school. Bulk pricing for more tracts needed in every area for kids for VBS, etc. Thank you Memory Cross.
