How are you all doing? Still going strong? We seem to have a lost a few of our comment posters, but I have hope that they are still memorizing scripture with us and just haven't found time to jump on the blog. Our lives are busy, aren't they? Hopefully they'll jump back in with verse 6. :)
Before we do the roll call for our sixth verse, I want to share a blog that so often speaks to me. I realize many of you may already check this one out daily, but in case you don't, here it is: A Holy Experience Today's post is on loving through differences and striving for unity as the Body of Christ. The truth really stuck a chord inside me... may we LOVE more despite our differences and forgive despite our hurt. Easier said than done... but as followers of Christ, we have help and power from on High (Luke 24:49), with the Holy Spirit in us, to live to a higher standard: Christ's.
OK - let's share our sixth memory verse for the last part of March with each other. Keep up the great work! :)

Janna, GTA Ontario - Colossians 3:12-15 NIV
"Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful."

Still plugging away on James 2. Got a little side-tracked with company being here, but (with a very timely reminder!) =) I'm ready to start again. Thanks for your continued encouragement, Janna!

As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 1 Peter 4:10 NASB

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit let us follow the Spirit's leading in every part of our lives. Galations 5.24-25 NLT
Sandra - Doha, Qatar. Heb 10:22 NLT Let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ's blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.
Brittany Morton - Sarnia On - Then he said, go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire: but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
1 Kings 19:11,12 KJV

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Phil 4:8 ESV

You are the light of the world. Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14,16
Keri- Kitchener Ontario
But God, who is rich in mercy with great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins hath he quickened us together with Christ (by grace are ye saved); and hath raised us up together and made us to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved, through faith, that not of yourselves it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:4-9
Beth, Ontario- My verses for the whole month:
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such there is no law. Those who belong to Christ have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. Galatians 5:22-26 NIV
Beth R, Palapye - John 15 v 12-14 - KJV
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Steffani - NS
For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people.
1 Peter 2.15 ESV
