Principles of Memory Philippians 1:3 Lesson 3 Presented by Pastor Jim Oliver http://home.comcast.net/~jimoliverministries/

Scripture Reading “Surely my soul remembers and is humbled within me. This doctrine I recall to mind; therefore I have hope. The Lord's grace support never ceases; His grace expressions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion,' says my soul; `therefore I have confidence in Him.’” Lamentations 3:20-25 RBT “Therefore, I will always be ready to remind you of these things, even though you already know them, and have been established in the truth which is present with you. I consider it right, as long as I am in this earthly dwelling, to stir you up by way of reminder, knowing that the laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, as also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.  And I will also be diligent that at any time after my departure you will be able to call these things to mind.” 2 Peter 1:12-16 NASB
