Our memories can be like a heavy anchor dragging on the sea bottom, making forward progress in life very difficult, perhaps impossible. Or…..our memories can be like an engine, making forward progress in life steady, even exciting. The Bible takes these alternatives very seriously and offers insight into the powers of memory and the ways torn memories are repaired. Gordon MacDonald will speak to the question of how memory affects us spiritually and what difference it makes as we live life in the real world.
