Memory Verse

memory verse logoEach week we post a scripture to challenge you to hide God’s Word in your heart. Commit it to memory, meditate on it and apply it to your life.

This week’s memory verse:

Isaiah 40:31

But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

Cover_mBOOKING NOW to be a host site for the NEW God, Love & Marshmallow Wars Book Tour & Couples Conference:

This event helps couples understand why the daily activities found in the book will equip them to build a stronger marriage and the book provides them with 365 intentional activities to take what they learn at the event and apply it on a daily basis. Through the event, couples will discover the Biblical “why” behind the categories of activities found in the book and the “how” these activities are important to building a stronger marriage. Focus points of the event includes :

  • How memorizing scripture together and studying God’s Word together as they study, meditate and apply scriptures related to marriage and life issues will help them develop marriages that honor God.
  • Why utilizing fun conversation starters that spark meaningful conversations will keep interest alive as they continually learn new things about each other.
  • Why keeping romance alive is essential to intimacy and connectivity.
  • How making memories and working together builds relationship investment bonds and how these investment bonds can become the knots that keeps them together through the tough times.
  • How they can understand what they are or are not contributing to the marriage as well as how they might be contributing to problems or potential problems within the relationship through the use of targeted, intentional personal reflections
  • Why it is important that couples never stop dating and how group dates with Christian friends can be both an encouragement and accountability to their own relationship.

During the event, couples will be given an activity from each focus point to do together, making this event an interactive, fun, and engaging event with practical, hands-on learning. Unlike other couple events that are over when the event ends, couples who attend the GLMW event will be able to apply what they learn when utilizing the book on a daily basis for a year. Since the book is not dated, couples are able to reuse the activities year after year to continue being intentional in strengthening their relationship with each other and with God as they strive to live out God’s design for marriage every day.

Learn more about hosting this event at your church or conference site by clicking here.

About the book: The GLMW book contains 365 daily challenges for couples to strengthen their relationships to each other and with God. Couples will complete activities such as Scripture memory, conversation starters, relationship builders, learning about Biblical marriage, romance builders, personal reflections, and date ideas.

Proverbs 18:10

Sept 09 Prov 18 10

In the Bible, a strong tower was a central place within a city to which people could run when threatened by their enemies. The tower would become their place of refuge and safety. As Christians, we are constantly fighting a spiritual battle against Satan and his demons. When Satan attacks,  God is our refuge and strength. He is a helper who is always found in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1).

But in Proverbs 18:10, Solomon wrote that the name of the Lord is a strong tower. The Hebrews found the name of God so holy and reverent that they would not speak His name so they used four consonants when writing “Lord” – the letters JHVH. When the King James Version was translated, they added vowels from two other Hebrew names of God: Elohim and Adonai so that we get the word, Jehovah. When you see “LORD” (in all caps) in your Bible, it means Jehovah, which is the name God gave to Himself when Moses asked, “Who shall I say sent me?” God replied, “I AM THAT I AM.” And it is in that name that we find our place of refuge. His name implies His character as the eternal, powerful, faithful, covenant keeping God and we can trust Him with every detail of our lives.

In Isaiah 26:3-5, we learn that we can trust in the LORD forever because He is everlasting strength. In Psalm 18:1-6, David tells us to call upon the LORD in your troubles and He will rescue us. To David, God was his rock, fortress, deliverer, God, strength, buckler, horn, and high tower. In Romans 8:31, Paul wrote, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” I don’t know about you, but when trouble comes knocking, I want the omnipotent-all powerful God to be on my side! The same God that spoke the universe into existence is in always in control. He is the same God who always works things out for my good. And He is the same God who has plans for me – plans to prosper me and not to harm me. The same God who calls me His child.  This is the God that the righteous can run to and find safety when we call on him, rely upon him, and have faith in His promises.
