If you have a smart speaker, you already know... it doesn't always get things right.Over the weekend, I asked Alexa to play a worship station, and she picked the Spanish version. At first, I thought, Wow, what a beautiful remix! Then I realized… nope. Just Alexa doing her thing.Kathy said she asks Alexa for TobyMac and gets Snoop Dogg instead. And Jeremy? He requested a Ryan Stevenson song and got three times the Bart Millard credit he bargained for.Maybe Alexa just needs a tutor. Or at least a little grace!

Passage: 1 Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You can't eat from any tree in the garden'? ” 2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit from the trees in the garden. 3 But about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God said, ‘You must not eat it or touch it, or you will die.' ” 4 “No! You will certainly not die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “In fact, God knows that when you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 The woman saw that the tree was good for food and delightful to look at, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. 8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 So the Lord God called out to the man and said to him, “Where are you? ” 10 And he said, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.” 11 Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from? ” 12 The man replied, “The woman you gave to be with me ​— ​she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate.” 13 So the Lord God asked the woman, “What have you done? ” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” 14 So the Lord God said to the serpent: Because you have done this, you are cursed more than any livestock and more than any wild animal. You will move on your belly and eat dust all the days of your life. 15 I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel. 16 He said to the woman: I will intensify your labor pains; you will bear children with painful effort. Your desire will be for your husband, yet he will rule over you. 17 And he said to the man, “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘Do not eat from it': The ground is cursed because of you. You will eat from it by means of painful labor all the days of your life. 18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. 19 You will eat bread by the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground, since you were taken from it. For you are dust, and you will return to dust.” 20 The man named his wife Eve because she was the mother of all the living. 21 The Lord God made clothing from skins for the man and his wife, and he clothed them. 22 The Lord God said, “Since the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil, he must not reach out, take from the tree of life, eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God sent him away from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken. 24 He drove the man out and stationed the cherubim and the flaming, whirling sword east of the garden of Eden to guard the way to the tree of life. -- Genesis 3:1-24 (CSB) Song: Grace Greater Than Our Sin (https://open.spotify.com/track/7cW1IGxINOv8u6Fx694tKr?si=4fae89f7e88e4429) by Bart Millard, Brown Bannister, Julia Harriette Johnston Lyrics: Marvellous grace of our loving Lord Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt Yonder on Calvary's mount outpoured There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt Grace grace God's grace Grace that will pardon and cleanse within Grace grace God's grace Grace that is greater than all our sin Sin and despair like the sea waves cold Threaten the soul with infinite loss Grace that is greater yes grace untold Points to the refuge the mighty Cross Dark is the stain that we cannot hide What can avail to wash it away Look there is flowing a crimson tide Whiter than snow you may be today Marvellous infinite matchless grace Freely bestowed on all who believe You that are longing to see His face Will you this moment His grace receive Prayer: Kindness flows from you, Lord, pure and continual. You had cast us off, as was only just, but mercifully you forgave us; you hated us and you were reconciled to us, you cursed us and you blessed us; you banished us from paradise, and you called us back again; you took from us the fig leaves that had made us so unseemly a garment, and you put on us a cloak of great value; you opened the prison gates and gave the condemned a pardon; you sprinkled us with clean water and washed away the dirt. Never again, after all this, will Adam blush when you call him, never will he try to hide because his conscience reproaches him, never will he seek concealment under the trees in the garden. The flaming sword will nevermore whirl about the walls of paradise and cut off the entrance from those who approach it. For us that were heirs to his sin, all has been changed to rejoicing; for man now has access to paradise and even to heaven itself. The whole creation, heaven and earth, is at one again in friendship, its former differences forgotten; men join their voices with the angels and echo the angels' praise of God. . . . There is no doubt who it is that dresses the bride in her finery: it is, of course, Christ—he that is and was and will be. Blessed is he, now and throughout the ages. Amen. -Gregory of Nyssa

Devocional do dia 05/06/2024 com o Tema: "Presente diário" Perguntaram ao cantor cristão Bart Millard quanto tempo ele levou para escrever a letra da canção I can only imagine (“Eu só posso imaginar”). Com sua letra tão inspiradora, é uma das canções mais tocadas nas plataformas digitais de todo o mundo! Bart disse que não gastou mais do que uns 10 minutos, mas que o assunto que o inspirou a escrevê-la já estava em seu coração há muito tempo. Leitura bíblica: 2 Coríntios 1.1-4 Versículo Chave: Bendito seja o Deus... que nos consola em todas as nossas tribulações, para que, com a consolação que recebemos de Deus, possamos consolar os que estão passando por tribulações (2Co 1.3-4).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This bonus episode came to mind to share as I was reflecting on the lyrics of the song "I Can Only Imagine," written by Bart Millard of the Christian music group MercyMe. There is a confidence that isn't in us, isn't in our circumstances, isn't in even life itself... but only found in the Lord of lords and King of kings, Jesus Christ, the Son of God. A couple of points I would like to highlight for this episode are also actually promises in the Word of Truth. 1) The Peace of God that surpasses all understanding WILL guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. 2) Being transformed by the renewing of your mind requires consistent practice: Practice makes permanent. The confidence we find is not in our own understanding. What does the Word say? 3) Not being conformed to the world includes the ways, beliefs, perspectives, definitions, societal norms, cultures, and other temporal things that are here one moment and gone the next. 4) Eternal and temporal are two very different ways of existing. How your existing? In Him, we live, move, and have our being. Lyrics to I Can Only Imagine I can only imagine what it will be like When I walk by Your side I can only imagine what my eyes will see When Your face is before me I can only imagine, yeah Surrounded by Your glory What will my heart feel? Will I dance for You, Jesus Or in awe of You be still? Will I stand in Your presence Or to my knees will I fall? Will I sing hallelujah? Will I be able to speak at all? I can only imagine I can only imagine I can only imagine when that day comes And I find myself standing in the sun/son I can only imagine when all I will do Is forever—forever worship You *Repeat Chorus and Tags* --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aprildmetzler/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aprildmetzler/support

Miracles happen every day, and when your last name is quite literally Miracle, you have to believe it! As author and speaker Gary Miracle describes it, his life caught up to his name in 2020 when an infection nearly killed him after going into septic shock and caused him to lose his arms and legs. His incredible story reached the world when the Grammy-nominated Christian band “MercyMe” shared it through their music video “Say I Won't.” Now Gary sits down with Nine-time Emmy winner David Sams to chat about his personal story of survival, relationship with lead singer Bart Millard, and new outlook on life. Gary's book, “No More Bad Days” is an inspiration for anyone who has experienced loss or trauma. #GaryMiracleSpeaks #MercyMe #NoMoreBadDays #SayIWont #DavidSams #KeepTheFaith #ContagiousInfluencer

Gary Miracle is an author and a speaker who passionately believes in the power of storytelling and how it unites us and spurs us on when life is tragically hard, and also reminds us who we are and who God made us to be. In this episode, he shares his story of growing immersed in church culture on Sunday but then suffered from an identity crisis the rest of the week as he chased perfection, and changed personas in order to be affirmed by anyone and everyone. Finally, later in his life and career, now a married man with kids, Gary reached his breaking point and reached out to his friend Bart Millard of the band “Mercy's Me” who began to disciple Gary and guide him to a life-changing and intimate relationship with Jesus. Not long after, in December 2019, Gary went from celebrating Christmas with his family feeling a little under the weather to being on his literal deathbed on New Year's Eve. The first week of 2020 Gary's life hung in the balance as teams of doctors worked on him and cared for him, and his loved ones stormed heaven for him. On January 10th, 2020, Gary opened his eyes, alive, but his body would never be the same, and his limbs were dying. Gary shares his journey of his 107 days stay in the hospital, reentering into his life without his legs and hands, and how God met him in all of it in our time together, but he goes more in-depth in his book No More Bad Days: Trading the Pursuit of Perfection for the Gift of Grace. Gary is passionate about choosing to truly live instead of just being alive and doing that authentically with others. We were made in the image of a communal God, and as we face the intensity and heartbreak of our lives, He provides people to walk through hard things with us. However, that call to live in community requires risk and humility, but as Gary reminds us, when life is at its lowest moments, people God gives us can echo hope back to us. This is a message for anyone who needs to know there is more left for them in this life. This is a message for those who need to remember God is still in the business of miracles. This is a message for someone who is walking through horrible circumstances but needs to be reminded that God still has good for them. You matter, and your story matters.

Opening Song: Grace Greater Than Our Sin (https://open.spotify.com/track/7cW1IGxINOv8u6Fx694tKr?si=ca8d3050555742e7) by Julia Harriette Johnston, arranged by Bart Millard and Brown Bannister Lyrics: Marvellous grace of our loving Lord Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt Yonder on Calvary's mount outpoured There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt Grace grace God's grace Grace that will pardon and cleanse within Grace grace God's grace Grace that is greater than all our sin Sin and despair like the sea waves cold Threaten the soul with infinite loss Grace that is greater yes grace untold Points to the refuge the mighty Cross Dark is the stain that we cannot hide What can avail to wash it away Look there is flowing a crimson tide Whiter than snow you may be today Marvellous infinite matchless grace Freely bestowed on all who believe You that are longing to see His face Will you this moment His grace receive Passage: 15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. 16 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. 17 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. 18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. 19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous. (Romans 5:15–19 ESV) Musical Reflection: “Amazing Grace,” Appalachian folk tune Reflection Notes: This beloved tune, formally known as NEW BRITAIN, originates from the folk music of Appalachia. The melody is simple and outlines triads, making it memorable; the ascending line creates a triumphant climax. Prayer: Lord of all power and might, the author and giver of all good things: Graft in our hearts the love of your Name, increase in us true religion, nourish us with all goodness, and bring forth in us the fruit of good works; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

In a recent interview, Bart Millard of MercyMe was asked if he felt like he was preaching to the choir sometimes. His response was that now he absolutely is preaching to the choir because it's divided and splintered. With their time on stage, their hope is that maybe the few thousand people there can agree on something for an hour and a half when it seems impossible to agree on anything.  Although we'll still have our own opinions and viewpoints, the heart of MercyMe is to guide the Church to unity on the foundation of Jesus. This theme is woven throughout Always Only Jesus through songs like "To Not Worship You" and "Then Christ Came."   Bart shares parts of the journey in writing the album and the moments in the studio that were special to him. He also shares a hint at a potential special album in the near future?
