Topical Memory System (TMS)

If you want to memorize Scripture but aren’t sure what to memorize or how, this system is the perfect launch point to begin hiding God’s Word in your heart. It’s simple and easy-to-use — and will help you memorize key verses that point to basic truths and important instruction.

The Topical Memory System (TMS) was developed by The Navigators as a clear, simple, proven way to meditate on key Bible verses.

Memorizing Scripture, will help you experience:

  • Freedom from Anxiety – Writing God’s promises on your heart helps you live in God’s perfect presence.
  • Triumph Over Temptation – Scripture memory makes the sword of the Spirit readily available for your battle against sin.
  • Confidence in Witnessing – Share the Gospel effectively with friends, family, and neighbors using verses you know by heart.
  • Spiritual Strength – Sense God’s presence moment by moment and trust Him more deeply to meet the needs and opportunities that arise each day.

Below is a list of the five pivotal topics addressed in the Topical Memory System. By using the TMS course workbook and memory cards available from NavPress as your guide, you can memorize, review, and meditate on these 60 verses in just 30 weeks.
