Partnering to Remember: The 2011 Philippians Memory Moleskine


In the summer of 2008, I came up with the crazy idea called a “memory moleskine.”  The goal was to memorize the book of Ephesians before the end of the year.  Since then, that Ephesian memory moleskine has resulted in 4,000+ people joining in.  With a number of people desiring to do it again, I pitched the idea of memorizing the book of Philippians beginning in the New Year.

Let’s face it. Memorizing Scripture can be a difficult discipline, especially memorizing long passages of Scripture.  In our fast-paced lives of multi-tasking with any number of things vying for our attention, there is a real danger for the Word of God to get squeezed out of our daily lives.  More than any other time, Christians need to partner together for the purpose of internalizing Scripture, encouraging one another to abide in the words of Christ, and remembering the weighty truths that center us in God’s work in our lives. To do this, a system for memorizing Scripture has been created called the memory moleskine.

Starting in 2011, I am beginning a project called P2R (Partnering to Remember).  The goal is to memorize the entire book of Philippians by Easter Sunday (April 24, 2011) through partnering with other believers using the memory moleskine.  Paul praised the church in Philippi for their partnership in advance of the Gospel, and in the spirit of that partnership, this project intends to bring Christians together for the deepening work of God’s Word in their lives.  Simply put, I believe we should partner to remember.

Using the Cahier moleskine, I have created a pocket-size notebook that provides a practical and accessible way to memorize Scripture.  Through collaboration with The Resurgence, a customized PDF has been created for you to download with a week-by-week outline for memorizing the book of Philippians in 16 weeks using the English Standard Version (ESV) of the Bible.  On one side of the moleskine you simply paste the week’s verses to memorize, and on the other side you write your reflections on the verses while indicating how many times you rehearsed them each day.  Included in this PDF are encouragements and helps to memorizing and retaining Scripture from Donald Whitney, Andy Davis, and John Piper.

The Cahier moleskine can be purchased either directly from Moleskine or from various bookstores such as Borders or Books-a-Million.  My hope is that many Christians will establish a rhythm of remembering God’s Word together through a system that helps access Scripture wherever you are.  So I encourage you to join me at the beginning of the New Year with a memory moleskine in your hand that God’s Word may be more treasured in your heart!

How to Make Your Own 2011 Philippians Memory Moleskine

1.  Purchase your own Cahier Moleskine (3.5×5.5 size)
2.  Download the PDF provided by the Resurgence
3.  Cut the weekly Scripture reading according to the border
4.  Use double-sided tape to paste the weekly section of verses
5.  Find someone who you can partner with for encouragement & accountability
6.  Jump in starting January 1, 2011!!!

If you decide to partner with me next year to memorize Philippians, please let me know in the comments.  I would love to know who you are!  And if you don’t have someone to partner with you, I will attempt to encourage you through my blog. :)

    It was great to meet you the other day at Panera. What a God-moment! This is a great idea and I look forward to joining you in memorizing. Thanks!

  3. John E Stone IV December 20, 2010 at 10:24 am #

    I’m going to join in too, but I’m going to use a Moleskine look-alike unless that is against the rules. :)

    • Timmy Brister December 21, 2010 at 12:28 am #

      No, it’s not against the rules! Glad you are joining in John! I hope many from our church family will join in the challenge.

  4. DeJuan Brown December 20, 2010 at 11:14 am #

    I’m gonna give it the ole college try! Thanks for putting this together.

  5. Patricia (Pollywog Creek) December 20, 2010 at 11:42 am #

    Love this. Thanks for the inspiration and downloads. Like John, I’ll probably use a moleskin look-a-like (aka something I already have on my shelf). For a variety of reasons, Philippians is the perfect book for me to memorize right now.

  6. Ricky Kirk December 20, 2010 at 1:08 pm #

  7. Joe Thorn December 20, 2010 at 1:13 pm #

    This is awesome, Tim. Thanks for putting it together for everyone!

  8. Mary Ann December 20, 2010 at 1:57 pm #

    I would like to join you. I started memorizing Phil. in June and got bogged down towards the end of ch. 2. I’d like to try again. Thanks!

  9. Christian Selvaratnam December 20, 2010 at 3:01 pm #

  10. Ricky Kirk December 20, 2010 at 3:07 pm #

    printed off the pdf file, cut it and taped it in my ‘knock-off moleskin’ and ready to go! would also love to see this for galatians (i will be teaching through it at the beginning of 2011 and then preaching through it later in the year! just a thought

  11. Kevin Cauley December 20, 2010 at 3:24 pm #

    I have my P2R Philippians Moleskine ready to go! Thank you for putting this spiritual tool together, you can count me in!

  12. Clint Richardson December 20, 2010 at 3:54 pm #

    My wife and I are in, thank you for the idea and putting it together. I’m putting together the moleskins right now. Merry Christmas!

    • Timmy Brister December 21, 2010 at 10:42 pm #

      Great to see you and your wife doing it together! What a great way to strengthen your marriage by meditating and memorizing the Word together!

  13. Katie @ Do Not Depart December 20, 2010 at 4:51 pm #

    So fun! I have been memorizing Philippians (ESV) for the past 5 weeks, and plan to end about the same time. Excited for more resources and encouragement. There is a small group of us on Twitter who have been memorizing and sharing encouragement and tips using the hashtag #hpimh (Hiding Philippians in My Heart).

  14. Brian Fulton December 20, 2010 at 5:47 pm #

    thanks Tim. I just started memorizing James and wanted to memorize the book. This has given me the creative tools to keep it up and stick with it. Really excited to making my “Partnering to Remember::James” journal! I’m also asking our leadership team about challenging all our people to do the same!

  15. freddy December 20, 2010 at 6:52 pm #

    Thanks for providing this for us, Tim. Memorizing Scripture can be a daunting task because there are 66 books to choose from. This will help many begin this practice personally. I have 2 empty Cahiers already, so I’ve got it printed off and will be putting it together once I get that tape. Thanks again.

    Blessings to you,
    Freddy

    I all in. And I will call my church to join me as well!

    • Timmy Brister December 21, 2010 at 10:44 pm #

      Great! I’m hearing from more people/pastors encouraging their church to take the challenge. This is exciting to see.

  19. Erik December 21, 2010 at 1:20 am #

    Love the idea Timmy. Thanks for providing the motivation to kick off 2011 memorizing Scripture.

  20. Joseph Louthan December 21, 2010 at 1:42 am #

    After memorizing 1 Chronicles 29:10-18, 1 Timothy 1:12-17 and Romans 8, I have fell out of the memorizing rhythm. Fortunately I am getting back into the swing of things with Titus 3:3-7, Acts 20:24 among countless others.

    I wanted to work my way up to Hosea 2, Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53 before attempting to do a book. However, our church just recently finish Philippians. It would seem prudent to go in and attempt to memorize a book that is so fresh on my heart.

    Count me in.

  21. Crystal Godfrey December 21, 2010 at 9:03 am #

    Tim,

    Thank you so much for this! I have about 9 more verses to learn and then I will have Philippians 1 (NASB) memorized! I plan to have that completed by December 29th and recite it to someone from my Sunday school class by memory on December 31st, as that is the goal date that has been set. Please pray for me, as I seek a partner to help me with the rest of Philippians.

    God bless you! :-)

  22. Mark Franklin December 21, 2010 at 9:08 am #

    I’ve been wanting to memorize Philippians for years but have not done it. Here’s the perfect opportunity. I’m in.

    • Timmy Brister December 21, 2010 at 10:45 pm #

      Very cool. Hope this opportunity proves fruitful and encouraging to you Mark!

    Thanks for coming up with this it’ll help me to be familiar with God’s word. I’m joining and will encourage others to join.

    • Timmy Brister December 21, 2010 at 10:46 pm #

      That’s great Doug and Ann! Hope this blesses your spiritual growth as well as your marriage!

      • dheagle93 December 27, 2010 at 7:39 am #

        When I was putting our notebooks together, my daughters asked what I was doing. So now, all 4 of us are going to work on it, and we’re going to do it when my not-yet-reading son is with us so that he hears it. If all goes well, the whole family will have Philippians memorized by Easter.

  25. Weston December 21, 2010 at 10:02 am #

    Hey Tim,

    I will memorize Philippians with you. Because of the example of some other guys at my school and their love for the word I have been encouraged and driven to memorize scripture. Over 2010 I memorized Ephesians, 2 Timothy, and just finished the sermon on the mount. Nothing changes a man like the word of God. I love this idea of the booklet and whatnot. I think I will make a few as gifts. Thank you for all you do. I love reading your books and actually just got generous justice from amazon today. I read the reason for God at a turning point in my life. Your faith evidenced in that book and your concern for dealing with people’s questions was a great encouragement to my soul. I thank God for your faith and your love toward all the saints. :) Press on, brother.

  26. @thisholidaylife December 21, 2010 at 11:30 am #

    Hey Mr. Brister,
    Look forward to starting this with you. I am currently putting together my moleskin in anticipation of Jan. 1 2011. Are there any helpful hints on notetaking or anything else?

  27. Michael Cordich December 21, 2010 at 12:35 pm #

    Tim,

    I attempted this many years ago and got through most of chapter 3. I’ve always thought about returning to Philippians and giving it another try. Your encouragement has given me the impetus to stop thinking about it and do it. Thanks.

  28. Shawn December 21, 2010 at 1:50 pm #

    Several A29 Churches are working through Colossians beginning in 2010 so we adapted the resource. I did not add the Resurgence or Partner to Remember info because I did not want to imply your endorsement. You can see what we created here. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/531046/ColossiansP2R.pdf

    • Timmy Brister December 21, 2010 at 10:52 pm #

      Thanks for sharing Shawn! The breakdown looks great man.

  29. Dennis Scheibmeir December 21, 2010 at 2:05 pm #

    Sounds good to me – maybe it will help with my memory skills to do this.

  30. Vaughn December 21, 2010 at 3:28 pm #

    A number of believers from Chicago will be joining you!

  31. justin December 21, 2010 at 3:35 pm #

    Hey Tim,

    I’m in and i have a partner to help me out who has memorized the book before using a different method. Thanks for putting this together and sharing.

    Thanks, I was looking for encouragement to memorize more scripture this year! What a great way to do it.

    My wife and I are going to do it together. We’re pumped! Also, I just bought a 3 pack of pocket sized cahiers last week to aid my training as a campus planter – so I had two unclaimed ones ready for us. Thanks for putting this together!

  42. Chelsea December 22, 2010 at 11:37 am #

    I stumbled across your blog through a post on twitter. This idea is fantastic. The book of Philippians is my favorite book of the bible, and I am extremely excited about the idea of memorizing it. Thank you very much!! I am definitely going to be participating!!

    I’ve not had much success memorizing scripture before. I’ve never tried to memorize a whole book but this looks like a good approach. I’m partnering with one of my accountability partners. Thanks for the sharing and encouraging.

  45. Nona Mills December 22, 2010 at 2:30 pm #

    Hi! I’m trying it! So far I haven’t been able to convince any of my friends to partner with me so you’re my partner, I fear. :-) Looking forward to doing this. I hope I make it all the way through and don’t lose heart.

    PS-I was directed here from Between Two Worlds. Shout out to Justin Taylor. He rocks.

  49. Beth P December 23, 2010 at 9:23 am #

    I am wondering if a blank template could be made available for folks wanting to memorize other books. I’d love to be able to type my verses into a template and print and affix to my little moleskin – I’m already working my way through 1 Thessalonians and would love to do the same thing with this book as you are doing with Philippians.

    • brian December 27, 2010 at 5:14 pm #

      why not write out the verses in longhand…

  50. Doug December 23, 2010 at 2:55 pm #

    Hey Timmy – what a great idea. Will be joining you from Central Asia.

    I think I might even do this with my 8 year old son. He has such a knack for hearing something a few times and then being able to remember it. Our family has 3 Psalms, the Beatitudes, James 1, and Ro 8:1-6 memorized so far. How? Read the entire passage every single day and bite off a new phrase each day to memorize. Usuallyafter the end of the first week, whether the rest of the family has yet or not, our oldest already has it down. PTL!

    Thanks again; any partners out there in Central Asia?

  51. Lisa notes... December 23, 2010 at 4:22 pm #

    Okay, I printed off the verses so I’m now officially in. Thanks for heading this up.

  52. Matt Brown December 23, 2010 at 6:03 pm #

    I picked up my moleskin today at Barnes & Noble in Champaign (IL), and I just printed off the verses, so I’m almost ready to go. I’ll be prepared on January 1.

  53. David M Scott December 23, 2010 at 8:46 pm #

    I’ve never had sustained success in memorization over the past 40 years, and I now have a head covered in snow white hair (glad to have hair of any color) but, I’m going to attempt to follow your plan. I purchased the 3 Moleskin ‘cahiers’ plain journals at BN this evening. Thanks for leading this.

    I’ll be joining you from Southeast Asia.

    I had actually just found your posts from 2008, and was just getting my plans together for doing this in 2011. I have been reading Philippians repeatedly recently and was thinking that I’d like to start with Philippians. Then, I opened up my google reader and saw your post on the Resurgence about this. No real Moleskins out here, but I’ve found a knock-off that will do the trick.

    I’ve memorized random Bible verses but have always been too intimidated to even try an entire book. But, I’m planning to memorize Philippians along with you. I’m still searching for a partner to hold me accountable. Thank you for giving me the nudge I needed to follow God’s prompting in this area.

  69. brian December 27, 2010 at 5:11 pm #

    why bother with printing out the sections and cutting them up. Don’t be so lazy. It’s a journal for writing in. Why not hand write out the portions of Scripture. That’ll be a better start to get the text into the brain.

    I somehow came across this blog yesterday and am glad I did! I would love to join in on the fun. I am training to run a half marathon this year and this would be a perfect thing to do while I’m running. I have a friend who memorized the book of James while she trained for a marathon. Looking forward to the challenge of doing something i’ve never done before.

    My husband and I are it too! This is exciting Philippians has always ben one of my favorite books of the Bible, what could be better than to memorize the whole thing. Can’t wait.

  86. dying2multiply December 29, 2010 at 1:23 pm #

    Don’t know if anyone will actually see this reply, but as a pastor the thought struck me, what a great way to prepare for preaching a book of the Bible! To have it memorized may be the epitomy of ingesting the book well enough in your pre-study so as to be able to grasp best the theme and nuances of argumentation as the book develops. Count me in, and count on me preaching Philippians soon – easily one of my favorite books in Scripture.

  87. David S December 29, 2010 at 1:55 pm #

    I’m in…. it occurred to me last night in my spin class that if I just put a 3 by 5 card with a few verses, I’d memorize quite a bit. Love this idea.

    Very interesting! I’ve spent a lot of time with Philippians but haven’t attempted to memorize it … or done any Scripture memorizing for quite awhile. Count me in; I’ll be following on Twitter.

    A dear woman from our church brought this to my attention. She wanted to know who wound join her in this challenge. I decided that I would take this opportunity for hiding God’s word in my heart. I know I will grow spiritually as well! My husband and 2 children have decided to participate too! I’m very excited by this chance to memorize scripture as a family. Thank you so much developing this program.

  110. Chris January 1, 2011 at 12:33 pm #

    Looking forward to memorizing Philippians with all of you!

    Hey Aaron!

    Thanks again for this. I started memorizing Ephesians in 2009 and got through the first 2 chapters before life got crazy and I set it aside. I was all set to do Philippians with you, but saw the older Ephesians post and resources and I’m going back to finish that! Philippians will be next though. Thanks again- this is life changing and I am super excited to be starting out 2011 in such a great way!

    Keep up the great work!
    Melissa

  133. Kim January 3, 2011 at 6:53 pm #

    Thanks for the encouragement and helpful tools. I am in need of renewing my mind and setting my mind on Christ. There are a few ladies from my church that are in too!!!

    My husband told me last week he was going to memorize Philippians this year ~he hadn’t heard about the P2R plan yet. Now we will both join you, plus (by God’s grace) our five kids (14, 12, 8, 6, 6)

    Thanks Tim!

  138. Michael Livingston January 4, 2011 at 10:24 am #

    Pastor David Sulcer of Crosswind Church, Westminster MD. opened this up to our entire church at services this weekend. I am joinng in and and very excited! How pleasing it must be to our Lord that so many will be focusing on His word at the same time. This takes committment to do the work, but the lifetime of rewards and benefits are the prize.

  141. Scott A Gordon January 4, 2011 at 12:21 pm #

    I’m now in, too! Just got the book set up. Thanks for providing this needed challenge…and the resources to help accomplish the goal.

    I have challenged my church to enter into this with me. I think this is a super idea!

    Did anybody find out that Philippians 1:4 is a very difficultly written verse? It took me the longest to get that one verse remember!

    I love this challenge and look forward to reciting this before Easter.

  165. Kevin January 11, 2011 at 10:18 pm #

    Just wanted to say that my wife and I are partnering to remember with you, Tim. I memorized Colossians in the fall, and had been thinking about what to memorize next when I came across your post in mid-December. I thought it also would be great for my wife to experience the joy and comfort I had in memorizing and meditating on Colossians. So, I ended up giving my wife two Cahier moleskines for Christmas, and here we are! Not only has it been a joy to start memorizing Philippians, but also to be able to encourage one another. Thanks for spurring us on in this good work, brother, and grace to you.

  166. Ken Boer January 13, 2011 at 2:57 pm #

    Hi Tim,

    In 2004 at Covenant Life Church we studied the book of Philippians, and recorded scripture songs (ESV) to help us memorize portions of the book. If they are useful to any who are memorizing, here are the songs (there are 21 of them):

  168. Deborah Vassen January 14, 2011 at 4:53 am #

    Hi Tim,

    Greetings from Switzerland! We are excited to hear about P2R and would like to join in here in Switzerland.
    As we speak German, would you allow me to translate your resources (your blog entry, learning plans, how to do…) and provide it on a german blog (with credits and links to your website of course)?

    In case you will do another campaign after Philippians I’d like to hear from you so we can start simultaneously here in Switzerland…

    Be blessed!

    Deborah

  169. Jeremiah Fyffe January 17, 2011 at 3:39 pm #

    I’m joining you. Very nice work. I love creative and God honoring uses for my moleskine.

    And if anyone is interested I invite you to join me at BibleTogether.com as we read the Bible searching for the Lord and His gospel.

  170. Andrew January 21, 2011 at 11:20 am #

    Been with you since January. Thanks for the exhortation to do this!

  172. Chelsea Bass January 26, 2011 at 11:27 pm #

    I’m starting this a bit late. I am super pumped to join you, though! I memorized Philippians a few years ago, but now I can only remember a few verses.

  173. Jeanne February 6, 2011 at 9:29 am #

    I am just now joining you in the effort to memorize Phillipians. I am excited to be hiding this passage in my heart, but am a little concerned because my memory isn’t what it used to be. I’m praying that this method will make it stick. Thank you for providing this for us.

  174. jon molitor May 25, 2011 at 2:46 pm #

    Love this system! Has made it so much more encouraging to memorize God’s Word. I’m so inspired, that I went ahead and made a similar weekly PDF of Psalm 119 that I hope to memorize by the end of the year. Anyone want to join me? I can email you a copy if you’re interested. jon.molitor@gmail.com.

  175. Wendy November 2, 2011 at 6:18 pm #

    Wow! I just did a Google search for partners to memorize scripture and this was first. I’m amazed because I just finished Philippians and am about to start on Ephesians. My sister-in-law has a slight head start. Anyone want to join us or review?

    I’m looking forward to next year’s challenge!

  176. Catherine January 7, 2013 at 4:00 pm #

    This is so great! My friend and I agreed to memorize Phillipians this year. So, what do I do? I google “Memorizing Phillipians” and look what came up? What a blessing. The bodyof Christ has so many amazing parts and we are all linked together. I love it! I have little Moleskines in a box at home. I will make one for both my friend and myself and we will get on the program.

    Thank you!

  2. 2011 Philippians Memory Moleskine – Justin Taylor - December 20, 2010

    [...] Timmy Brister: Let’s face it. Memorizing Scripture can be a difficult discipline, especially memorizing long passages of Scripture.  In our fast-paced lives of multi-tasking with any number of things vying for our attention, there is a real danger for the Word of God to get squeezed out of our daily lives.  More than any other time, Christians need to partner together for the purpose of internalizing Scripture, encouraging one another to abide in the words of Christ, and remembering the weighty truths that center us in God’s work in our lives.  To do this, a system for memorizing Scripture has been created called the memory moleskine. Starting in 2011, we are beginning a project called P2R (Partnering to Remember).  The goal is to memorize the entire book of Philippians by Easter Sunday (April 24, 2011) through partnering with other believers using the memory moleskine.  Paul praised the church in Philippi for their partnership in advance of the Gospel, and in the spirit of that partnership, this project intends to bring Christians together for the deepening work of God’s Word in their lives.  Simply put, we are partnering to remember. Using the Cahier moleskine, we have created a pocket-size notebook that provides a practical and accessible way to memorize Scripture.  Through collaboration with The Resurgence, a customized PDF has been created for you to download with a week-by-week outline for memorizing the book of Philippians in 16 weeks using the English Standard Version (ESV).  On one side of the moleskine you simply paste the week’s verses to memorize, and on the other side you write your reflections on the verses while indicating how many times you rehearsed them each day. The Cahier moleskine can be purchased either directly from Moleskine or from various bookstores such as Borders or Books-a-Million.  Our hope is that many Christians will establish a rhythm of remembering God’s Word together through a system that helps access Scripture wherever you are.  So join us at the beginning of the New Year with a memory moleskine in your hand that God’s Word may be more treasured in your heart.
