And what better way to kick off the New Year than by learning the daily discipline of memorizing God’s Word?

This year, the yet-to-be-announced chapter of the Bible that we will be working on is 25 verses long. So The Challenge is to memorize the whole thing, all 25 verses word for word in only 25 days! We’ll announce exactly which chapter it will be on New Year’s Eve and get started memorizing on January 1, 2010.

Along the way, we will be posting some great commentary, insights, and personal testimonies here on livingthejourney.com every single day of The Challenge, one verse at a time.

One reward for completing The Challenge: "The Inspiration of Creation" 2010 CalendarSo are you ready? Oh, and by the way, those who successfully complete The Challenge will receive a limited edition “Inspiration of Creation” 2010 calendar. The front cover shot is a picture from the Northwoods, with the Conference Center shrouded in morning fog. There will also be other nice rewards, but we’ll keep them a surprise for now. And, of course, the most important rewards are the eternal ones that God promises to those who meditate on His Word.

Stay tuned!
