       A lot of us have been taught that we should memorize Bible verses. Yes, this is a well and good teaching. I don’t think any of us are going to disagree with that. Some folks go so far as to memorizing multiple verses, perhaps big blocks of Scripture all at once. It only adds to the awesomeness of a persons presentation, to the greatness of their knowledge. I mean, I don’t know of anyone ever uses these big memorizations in daily living. I suppose it is possible. Nevertheless, we know the smaller ones are handy. However, one thing we can do is make it even easier, and that is by taking the Scripture and making what I will call ‘dictums.’ These are short saying that we can derive from Scripture for easy remembrance. One easy dictum that I have created myself, which I have used quite a bit on this radio show, is that saying, “All that matters is God.” Now, if we search the Scriptures, we will not find that exact phrase anywhere. It is something that I have derived from reading the Scriptures over and over.
