Memory Verse #17

It seems that all I've had time to do with this blog lately is post my memory verses. I am going to get back into it more regularly but life has been super busy this summer. I'll have to post my "SumMER SumMERy" soon.

So here are my verses. I'm going to work on memorizing Romans 12 with Evan. He has to do this his Fit to Serve class. He has to memorize 1 or 2 verses each week. So here's what I have for this time. (I already memorized Romans 12:1-2 when I was younger and Romans 12:3 was one from last year, so I'm just polishing up on those.)

Romans 12:1-5 (NIV)
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy & pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing, and perfect will.

For by the grace given me I say to everyone of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.

Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
