The Daily Memo | February 13, 2023 | Transcendence and Immanence
Listen ‘Transcendence’ and ‘immanence’ describe the almost paradoxical nature of our relationship with God. The ‘transcendence’ of God means that God exists apart from, and is not subject to the limitations of, the material universe. He is above and beyond, surpassing and excelling, greatly superior to us. On the other hand, the ‘immanence’ of God means that it is possible to experience his immediate friendship. In the Old…

The Daily Memo | February 10, 2023 | The World Rules
Listen Political polarization has been a national reality for decades. But during 2020, the messy but often productive middle ground all but disappeared. As a result, Americans were pressured to move further right or further left or be left behind. Lines were drawn where lines were deemed unnecessary in the past. Everything became a point of contention. School closings. School openings. Masks. Protests. With the collapse of the middle, nuance left the building. Without,…

The Daily Memo | February 9, 2023 | Guided By Love and Loyalty
Listen These should be our guiding principles in every decision we make. ‘Love and Loyalty’ (Proverbs 3:3) should be deeply embedded in our hearts. Loyalty means, for example, speaking about others as if they were present. We establish trust in those who are present by our loyalty to those who are not present. If you live like this, God promises you a good reputation ‘in God’s eyes and the eyes of the people’ (Verse 4, The Message). Run to God!…

The Daily Memo | February 8, 2023 | Requests To God
Listen Have you ever felt stuck in your prayer life? Or perhaps wondering why God doesn’t seem to be hearing, or not answering your prayers. You’re not alone. God answers every prayer with a yes, no, or wait. Better yet think of it like this as Rick Warren writes, ‘When the request is not right, God says “No”. When the timing is not right, God says “Slow”. When you are not right, God says “Grow”. But when the request is…

The Daily Memo | February 7, 2023 | It’s Mere Christianity
Listen “What Satan put into the heads of our remote ancestors was the idea that they could ‘be like gods’ - could set up on their own as if they had created themselves - be their own masters - invent some sort of happiness for themselves outside God, apart from God. And out of that hopeless attempt has come nearly all that we call human history - money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution. classes, empires, slavery - the long terrible story of man trying…

The Daily Memo | February 6, 2023 | Blessed Are...
Listen The Poor in Spirit…. Mourn…. Meek…. Hunger and Thirst.... Merciful…. Pure in Heart…. Peacemakers…. Persecuted – which is pretty much all of us at some point in our lives. When Matthew records one of Jesus' most quoted and talked about sermons, he reminds us all how fortunate we are to have a Savior that understands us and blesses us in our most difficult moments. My mother passed away in 2021 at the ripe young age…

The Daily Memo | February 3, 2023 | Church Is Not A Building
Listen Church is not a building. Church is not an event that takes place on Sundays. I know, it's how we think of it. "I go to First Baptist." "We are members of St. Luke's." "Is it time to go to church?" Much to our surprise, that is not how the Bible uses the term. Not at all. When the Scripture talks about church, it means community. The little fellowships of the heart that are outposts of the kingdom. A shared life. They worship,…

The Daily Memo | February 2, 2023 | Lies We Believe
Listen I saw a photo recently where a banana was standing in front of a mirror. From the cameras perspective the real banana was beautifully ripe and perfectly yellow, just the way you want it to look before peeling. The banana reflected in the mirror was brown, bruised and battered. The image reflected back to my banana friend looked a whole lot different than the reality of what this inanimate object looked like from mine or anyone else’s perspective. In the…

The Daily Memo | February 1, 2023 | The Path of Life
Listen The future is an untraveled trail with complex twists and turns. Appealing activities can be detours that lead away from the Lord, and engaging philosophies are paths that often end in a mire of muddled thinking. Even the best route isn’t all sun-dappled meadows and quiet riverside lanes. At times we’ll journey over rugged terrain or through dark valleys. The only way to be sure we’re walking on the right path is to follow one who knows the way. God…
