The Daily Memo | April 14, 2023 | From Accusation to Acquittal
Do you remember Top Gun: Maverick’s climactic scene? As Maverick flew away from enemy territory, his F-14 clipped the roof of a building and lost its front landing gear. With the odds stacked against him, Maverick, and his co-pilot Rooster, engaged in an epic dogfight with two enemy jets. After some heart-stopping maneuvers, Maverick and Rooster managed to take out one of the jets, but the other one seemed to be chasing him down with no escape in sight. Maverick knew…

The Daily Memo | April 13, 2023 | Hazard Reported Ahead
I use WAZE, on my iPhone, to navigate the road ahead any time I leave town. With a large army of fans, it provides real-time traffic updates with fun and imaginative voice prompts. My latest prompter is Christina Aguilera. My favorite warning is, “Hazard reported ahead, life is full of obstacles it’s how we overcome them that matters”. It seems like hazards in life are an everyday occurrence. Some are physical, some are emotional, many are spiritual. It&rsquo…

The Daily Memo | April 12, 2023 | The Crescendo of Jesus' Life Purpose
"Perhaps no event in the life of Jesus more powerfully demonstrates the radical nature of his dependence on God and his obedience to God’s will than the prayer he offered up in the Garden of Gethsemane on the night before his crucifixion. Jesus, like everyone else living during the Roman Empire, knew full well the brutality that was execution by crucifixion. The drawn-out process would be utterly humiliating and excruciating. Jesus knew that he would feel, as any…

The Daily Memo | April 10, 2023 | Devoted to Prayer
Have you ever wondered what one of the most important aspects of the Christian life is? The answer is surprisingly simple: Make it your habit to spend time with God, meditating on His Word and praying. Notice that the key is to spend time with God. It’s easy to treat our prayers to Him like a checklist, where we rattle off requests for virtues like patience and wisdom or other things we want. Then we say “Amen” and expect Him to answer instantly. If that…

The Daily Memo | April 7, 2023 | Knowing the Heart of God
Most of us long to feel truly known by those we love. That makes sense because we were created in God’s image—He also desires to be intimately understood and loved by us. Just as you don’t want to be known for only the superficial details of who you appear to be, it’s not enough to simply know about the Lord. He wants us to learn how He thinks and feels, what’s important to Him, and what His purposes are. Of course, it’s impossible for us…

The Daily Memo | April 6, 2023 | The World's Largest Bat
Listen In 2020, Twitter user @AlexJoestar622 set the internet on fire when he posted a photo of what looked like a human-size bat in the Philippines. While many were quick to call the photo fake, it's since been confirmed to be real and shows a giant golden-crowned flying fox (Acerodon jubatus). Also known as a golden-capped fruit bat, this endangered species is one of the largest bats in the world and is endemic to the Philippines. Classified as a megabat, these…

The Daily Memo | April 5, 2023 | The Desires of Your Heart
Listen What is your greatest desire? We often read a few verses in Psalm 37 and assume that it means God will give us whatever we want. It’s not uncommon for someone to talk about a prayer request and then add, “God promised to give me the desires of my heart.” But in context, that scripture reveals the Lord’s principle for purifying our desires and issues a call for devotion to Him. To delight in the Lord means to take pleasure in discovering more…
