The Daily Memo | June 9, 2023 | Matter of the Heart
Let’s come back to something very basic to our pursuit of God and the transformation he is always after in our lives—everything we do has a reason behind it, a motive. Within the Christian community we tend to focus on behavior, and that is right and that is wrong. Of course what we do matters. It matters how you treat people. It matters whether you lie or steal or commit adultery. Our actions have enormous consequences to them. However, according to Jesus,…

The Daily Memo | June 8, 2023 | What Does It Mean To Embrace Your Brokenness? | According to Chat GPT
As a Christian, embracing your brokenness means acknowledging and accepting your imperfections, weaknesses, and struggles. It is recognizing that as humans, we are all flawed and in need of God's grace and redemption. Here are a few key aspects of embracing brokenness as a Christian: Humility: Embracing brokenness involves humbling yourself before God and others, acknowledging that you are not perfect and that you need God's help.

The Daily Memo | June 7, 2023 | The First Marriage | An Excerpt from the Upcoming Book Embracing Brokenness
I wondered early in my walk with God - was there a wedding in the Garden of Eden? Then it occurred to me, of course there was. After all Eve came from Adam. They were one before they weren’t. That sounds like a Yogi Berra quote. But it’s true. Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Gen 2:18 (ESV) 21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took…

The Daily Memo | June 6, 2023 | Listen And Respond With Courage
Sometimes God calls us to participate in His mission in unusual or even confusing ways. These situations might ask us to step outside of our normal manner of doing things and take a risk, give sacrificially, inconvenience ourselves, or even suffer for the sake of others. Have you ever felt called to go beyond your routine to do something extraordinary? For some Christians, this might look like answering a call to move overseas and share the gospel with unreached people.…

The Daily Memo | June 5, 2023 | Eden Glory
When you think of what Desolation looks like, picture a barren desert. Desolation wants to make everything a wasteland. So what is the opposite of a wasteland? Eden! The paradise of God, our first home, with all its lush, glorious beauty overflowing here, there, everywhere! If you follow the flow of Scripture and human history, you can see that our enemy wants to make everything a wasteland, and God wants to make everything a restored Eden. When it comes to the resilience…

The Daily Memo | June 2, 2023 | Why We Might Miss God’s Will
Yesterday we looked at two reasons we might miss God’s will. John 14:26 says the Holy Spirit teaches us all things. So why do we sometimes have trouble understanding His plan? We make decisions according to emotions. When life gets hard, our instinct is to move away from the source of pain—but in reality, we need to move closer to Jesus. When we figure He couldn’t possibly want us to feel this way, we’re more prone to take action and hope that we&rsquo…

The Daily Memo | June 1, 2023 | Tuning In To God's Will
If you follow Jesus, you have likely heard the phrase “God’s will.” It’s often mentioned in the context of His having a will for each believer—or of our doing His will, walking in His will, and the like. If we love the Lord, then certainly we want to obey Him (John 14:15). But let’s take a look at some of the reasons we might miss His plan for our life. Handling God’s Word Improperly. When our days become jam-packed with commitments…

The Daily Memo | May 31, 2023 | There Will Always Be A Dog To Blame
As I was scurrying around this morning in preparation to take Tucker (our Golden) to the groomers, I quickly saw that I was running out of bandwidth to leave on time. In fact, I was already late. The reason is rooted in my innate desire to get all the boxes checked on my to-do list before proceeding to the next. Tucker knows that. When I arrived at Joy’s Salty Dog, I immediately announced that Tucker overslept; he was to blame for our tardiness. I got a couple…
