Memorizing Scripture is beneficial because it: 1. Helps to renew your mind and change your thought life, establishing permanent change in your entire manner of life and conduct (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:2-3). 2. Follows the example of the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 4:1-10). 3. Equips you to use Scripture in everyday situations (for example: Acts 2:16-21, 25-28; 3:22-23; 13:40-41, 47). 4. Allows God’s Word to be the foundation of your life (Deuteronomy 6:6-8). 5. Provides guidance (Psalm 119:24, 105). 6. Develops confidence in witnessing (Isaiah 55:11). 7. Establishes a fountain to conquer temptation (for example: Matthew 4:1-10) and to gain victory over sin (Psalm 119:9-11). 8. Becomes an integral part of your prayer life (for example: Acts 4:24-31). 9. Enables you to teach, counsel, encourage, and build up others in the Body of Christ (Colossians 3:16). 10. Provides a basis for meditation On God’s Word (Psalm 119:15-16, 97). 11. Makes the Word of God readily available for comfort (Psalm 119:52). 12. Keeps God’s Word ready to refresh or revive (Psalm 119:93). 13. Provides stability in your spiritual life (Psalm 37:31; 40:8). 14. Gives you the truth so that, at times of need, you are ready to answer others concerning your source of hope (Proverbs 22:17-21; 1 Peter 3:15).

Preheat oven to 375 degrees; coat a 15 x 10-inch jelly roll pan with
nonstick cooking spray.  Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1 1/3
cups sugar and cocoa in a large bowl. Add water, margarine and vanilla.
Beat at low speed for 1 minute.  Beat at high speed for 3 minutes or until
mixture is smooth.  Beat egg whites at high speed until stiff peaks form.
Stir 1 cup beaten egg whites into batter. Gently fold in remaining egg
whites.  Spoon batter into prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes. Cool
completely.      Reduce oven to 350 degrees.  Place cranberries in a 15 x
10-inch jelly roll pan. Combine remaining 2/3 cup sugar and cinnamon;

hearts.  Spoon cranberries evenly over brownies. Garnish with mint sprigs,
