| BIBLE MEMORIZATION |
In Proverbs 22 vs. 17-19, God promises that if we hear the words of the wise and apply our mind to knowledge, and keep them within, it will lead to joy in our lives and a trust in the Lord. We invite you to join with CBC in memorizing one Scripture passage each month as we "treasure God's Word in our heart that we might not sin against Him." (Psalms 119 vs. 11).
Each Sunday at our evening service we will hold a short devotional reading of the monthly verse with some practical hints for personal application. The monthly verses are shown in the table below:

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." 1 Peter 1 vs. 3-5 |

"Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory." Colossians 3 vs. 1-4 |
| August 2008 |
"Thus says the LORD, 'Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,' declares the LORD." Jeremiah 9 vs. 23-24 |
| September 2008 |
"And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God." 1 Corinthians 2 vs. 1-5 |
| October 2008 |
"'Behold, days are coming,' declares the Lord GOD, 'When I will send a famine on the land, not a famine for bread or a thirst for water, but rather for hearing the words of the LORD.

| November 2008 |
"This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. 'The LORD is my portion,' says my soul, 'Therefore I have hope in Him.' The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the person who seeks Him. It is good that he waits silently for the salvation of the LORD." Lamentations 3 vs. 21-26 |
| December 2008 |
"Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth. Serve the LORD with gladness; come before Him with joyful singing. Know that the LORD Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the LORD is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to all generations." Psalms 100 vs. 1-5 |
