The Laws of Learning

Edward Thorndike

1874-1949

1. The Law of Readiness20a My son, pay attention to what I say;

Are you ready and willing to learn from God?

Do you want success?

Do you want to do the right good thing

Proverbs 3:1,2 My son, do not forget my teaching, but

keep my

commands in your heart,

for they will prolong your life

many years and bring you prosperity.

2. The Law of Truth

20b listen closely to my words.

Mt 22:29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because

you do not know the Scriptures or the power of

God.”

Mt 4:4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man does not

live on bread alone,

but on every word that comes

from the mouth of God.’”

Get it right the first time. UNlearning is a huge

burden.

3. The Law of Practice(Repetition) (Sticky Truth)

21a Do not let them out of your sight;

Meditate day and night. Practice it over

and over. Drill it into our head so it gets

to our heart.

Psalm 1:2 But his delight

is in the law of the LORD, and

on his law he meditates day and night.

4. The Law of Impact

21b keep them within your heart

“Treasure the words of God in the Center of

Action (heart) in your life.”

Expect things to happen from your learning

Keep your eye on putting

the learning to use.

Psalm 119:11 Your word I have

treasured in my heart, that I may not

sin against You.

streams of water, which yields

its fruit in season and

whose leaf does not wither.

Whatever he does prospers.
