I think that that will always be the temptation for any discipline. Hopefully, it will be because of an outflow of the Gospel in one's heart that will lead people to want to memorize Scripture, without judging others for not doing so. Good point Luke.

My concern/warning is that many people will treat this as just another "works" to establish their christian identity rather than finding their identity in Christ. That said, we would all do well to memorize the bible. <blockquote>Psalm 119:15 I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. 16I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.</blockquote> I'm curious why you choose Philippians for your memory book.

Psalm 119:15 I will meditate on your precepts
and fix my eyes on your ways.
16I will delight in your statutes;
I will not forget your word.

I’m curious why you choose Philippians for your memory book.
