It is unfortunate indeed that Christians should be impressed by this recitation of scripture. Any book one spends any time with will work itself into the memory. People memorize lyrics from songs, and no one wonders; they spout off lines from movies and TV shows, and no one marvels. But recite scripture, and even Christians find that somehow impressive. Shame on the so-called church for its rampant biblical illiteracy.
@socrhet26 You're right. I hope you stay away from such "churches" yourself and dwell in the word of God. On the other hand, John Piper has been used by God to draw people to love the word. I would take this video more as a call to believe the gospel than as a call to memorize Scripture. The scribes and Pharisees knew their Scriptures and yet crucified Jesus.

Lord, can we have more teachers/pastors in the pulpit speak your Word like this?
We need to hear Your Word - not gimmicks on how to get material blessings, or self-help motivational speeches, or exciting experiences.
We need Your Word.
