The Spiritual Workbench has been in the works for many years. It is just now being implemented on AndrewKarr.org using WordPress because it was expected to be a quick and easy way to provide all the functionality I was looking for. My Scripture memory journey started back in the 1970’s using a box full of 1.75″ x 2.75″ memory cards. Upon the introduction of computers in the 80’s, it became apparent that there was a better, more efficient way. Thus the seeds of the Spiritual Workbench began to form. As the internet became ubiquitous, it was selected as the best method to deliver the Spiritual Workbench and spread God’s message. AndrewKarr.org is the current implementation of that system.

- One of the most exciting things that I find in the Spiritual Workbench is the ability to record relationships between verses in various places within the Bible. Using the Bible to support the whole context of scripture. As you read through the Scriptures, God brings to mind other verses that support or contrast that particular thought. I personally recorded these in my Personal Treasury using the tools that were available at the time. I am slowly converting the data in my Personal Treasury to searchable Cross References.

- Scripture Memory –
- Scripture memory helps God’s children memorize and meditate on His Word, (Isa 40:8; 55:11).
- This section of the Spiritual Workbench is one of many methods to do this. It is an efficient method to memorize and meditate on God’s Word.
- Most people say they can’t remember anything, but that is not true. You remember phone numbers, addresses, names, etc. Use the tools described in “Getting Started” (click here Getting Started in Scripture Memory) to begin the process to sharpen your memory skills by remembering something that will last forever, God’s Word (Isa 40:8; 55:11)… Scripture Memory
