Kids memorize scripture easily. What they do not do on their own is review it, which is why a child can nail a verse on Friday and have lost it by the following Thursday. Almost every scripture memory program that fails, fails at review, not at learning. Below is a full A-to-Z list of verses and, more importantly, the review system that keeps them. The 26 ABC verses One verse per letter, using the King James wording, since that is where the first word matches the letter. Teach it in whatever translation your family reads — the letter is a...

Most Bible reading plans fail in February. Not because people lack discipline, but because they picked a plan sized for a different life than the one they have.

Most homeschool Bible curriculum fails for the same reason: it was built for a perfect week. Thirty minutes of reading, a discussion guide, a craft, a memory verse, a journaling page.

A Bible curriculum that actually survives a school year has to be small enough to do on a bad day. That is the whole design constraint. Everything below is built around it. The three approaches that actually work Almost every homeschool Bible plan is...

Inductive Bible study means starting with the text rather than with a conclusion. You look at what is there, work out what it meant, and only then ask what it means for you. Three steps: Observation, Interpretation, Application — O-I-A. It is slower than most methods and it is the one that changes how you read everything else, because it teaches you to notice before you decide. The three steps Step The question The trap Observation What does it say? Rushing it. This is 60% of the work. Interpretation What did it mean to the people it was written to?...

SOAP is a four-line Bible study method: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer. You write out a passage, note what you see in it, decide what it asks of you, and pray it back. It is popular for one honest reason. It is short enough to actually do on a Tuesday, and structured enough that you are not staring at a blank page wondering what a "reflection" is meant to look like. What the four letters mean Letter What you write How long S — Scripture The verse or short passage, copied out by hand in full 3 minutes O — Observation...

Most people who want to study the Bible have already tried reading it, found themselves in Leviticus by day nine, and quietly stopped. Reading and studying are not the same activity, and the difference is not effort. It is having a method. This is the simplest one that works: four steps, about twenty minutes, no commentary and no theology degree. Reading the Bible and studying it are different Reading is covering ground. Studying is stopping on a small piece of it and asking questions until you understand it. That means a study is short. Ten or fifteen verses is a...
