Memory Verses

Topical Memory System verses (from Navigators)

It was about 60 years ago when I walked from class to class at Michigan State University with little Navigator cards in my hand containing verses I was memorizing. I also worked on larger groups of verses, like the letter of 1 John. I am so thankful I did that because I still have them with me wherever I go.

The Topical Memory System from the Navigators contains 60 very basic and meaningful verses. When we memorize verses like these we often fail to consider the context from which they are found. I decided to do a write up of these verses and the context from which they were taken. Below is a table of the 60 verses, or verse sets, contained in the Navigators Topical Memory System and links to the descriptions.
