The Daily Memo | June 21, 2023 | Into the Great Depths of God
Spiritual discernment is the ability to see things from the Lord’s viewpoint. That means being able not only to separate truth from error but also to grasp the finer distinction between what is good and what is best. But how can we acquire such a skill? In his classic work My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers gives us the answer. He writes, “Put everything in your life afloat upon God, going out to sea on the great swelling tide of His purpose, and your…

The Daily Memo | June 20, 2023 | The Blame Game
https://youtu.be/lV9sKi9Re4E Tree of Life It began sometime after day 6. We’re not sure exactly how long it took, but apparently, Satan got busy tempting Adam and Eve soon after he was relegated to planet Earth when leading his great rebellion. One that would take about a third of the angels with him and out of God’s presence. Then came the blame game. God is holding out on you, he told Adam and Eve. It’s his fault, you too can know the difference between…

91. Alisa Childers Part 2 on What Is Progressive Christianity?
In Part 2 of this podcast, Steve asks Alisa to define Progressive Christianity and the dangers that exist when truth becomes relative and the inerrant Word of God is questioned. As a lifelong church-goer, follower of Jesus, and former CCM recording artist with the Dove award-winning group ZOEgirl, Alisa Childers experienced a period of profound doubt about her faith in her mid-thirties. She felt as though she had been tossed in a stormy ocean of uncertainty with no life…

The Daily Memo | June 19, 2023 | Not A Bird Watcher
I paid almost no attention to our fine feathered friends until about 7 years ago. I could barely tell the difference between a blackbird and a crow. I knew what a robin was because they went bob, bob, bobbin’ along and they ate earthworms, which I thought was kinda cool. Then I got married to Colleen and nature began to look very different to me. She knows more about birds than I could ever imagine. She identifies every one by their song, squawk, or chirp. It’s.…

The Daily Memo | June 16, 2023 | A God You Can Count On
People come and go, and each season turns into the next; continual change is normal in our life. Thankfully, this is not the case with God, who is “the same yesterday and today, and forever” (Heb. 13:8). We can completely depend on the Lord’s steadfastness because He is: •Omniscient. Our Father knows what is happening for every person at every moment (Prov. 15:3). His knowledge is complete—no circumstance is hidden from Him; there is no motive…

The Daily Memo | June 15, 2023 | I'm Not Here
“Nothing dangerous is happening here.” Incredible. What a self-indictment. Those men have already been taken out because they’ve swallowed the Enemy’s first line of attack: “I’m not here—this is all just you.” You can’t fight a battle you don’t think exists. This is right out of The Screwtape Letters, where Lewis has the old devil instruct his apprentice in this very matter: My dear Wormwood, I wonder you should…

The Daily Memo | June 14, 2023 | What's Your Hurry?
I remember my dad asking that question many times. What’s your hurry? Maybe it’s generational and he did live through the Great Depression, if that’s relevant. He took his time on most any project he ever did to be sure it was done correctly. He worked with numbers in his management career for the Pennsylvania Railroad. Perhaps that’s why he wasn’t in a hurry. Everything had to add up before moving to the next thing. That certainly is not the…

The Daily Memo | June 13, 2023 | More Than We Are Now
We all—men and women—were created in the image of God. Fearfully and wonderfully made, fashioned as living icons of the bravest, wisest, most stunning Person who ever lived. Those who have ever seen him fell to their knees without even thinking about it, as you find yourself breathless before the Grand Canyon or the Alps or the sea at dawn. That glory was shared with us; we were, in Chesterton’s phrase, “statues of God walking about in a Garden,;…

The Daily Memo | June 12, 2023 | When We Feel Frustrated
In difficult seasons, it’s natural to want to make changes—such as quitting a job, ending a friendship, or moving away—in order to resolve frustration. But first we should investigate the cause. Discontentment may come from: • Inability to accept ourselves as we were created. The talents, personality, and physical attributes God gave us are exactly what we need to follow His will for our life. Dwelling on the things we lack or would change distracts…
