Samaria była góra należącą do Szemera. Słowo Samaria znaczy właśnie - należąca do Szemera. Nic więcej nie wiemy o tym człowieku. Od niego górę kupił król Omri. W 1 Królów 16:24 czytamy: “Potem nabył za dwa talenty srebra od Szemera górę Szomron i obwarował tę górę, i nazwał gród, który zbudował, Samaria według imienia właściciela tej góry Szemera”.Jaką funkcję pełniło to miasto? W Izajasza 7:9 czytamy: “stolicą Efraima jest Samaria, a głową Samarii jest syn Remaliasza”. Efraim był najważniejszym plemieniem północnego królestwa Izrael. Tak więc Samaria była stolicą tego państwa. Historia tego miejsca zaczęła się już wcześniej. Prawdopodobnie właśnie tam mieszkał jeden z sędziów.W Sędziów 10:1 czytamy: “Po Abimelechu wystąpił, aby ratować Izraela, Tola, syn Pui, wnuk Doda, z plemienia Issachara; mieszkał on w Szamir na pogórzu efraimskim”. Ten sędzia został tam też pochowany. Wydaje się, że w tym właśnie miejscu zbudowano później Samarię, stolicę 10-plemiennego królestwa Izraela.Współcześnie niedaleko arabskiej wioski Sabastia (Sebastia) znajdują się ruiny Szomron. To prawdopodobnie jest pozostałość po Samarii. Była to góra o płaskim szczycie, a więc idealna do zbudowania miasta. Jej wysokość to jakieś 90 m.Omri zbudował miasto Samaria. Jego syn Achab ożenił się z Fenicjanką Jezebel. W 1 Królewskiej 16:32 czytamy: “I wzniósł ołtarz Baalowi w świątyni Baala, którą zbudował w Samarii”. Oprócz tego zbudował jeszcze pałac z kości słoniowej jak czytamy w 1 Królewskiej 22:39.Za rządów Achaba Samaria była oblegana dwa razy. Najpierw przez Asyryjczyków, a potem przez Syryjczyków, ale nie została zdobyta. Później za rządów jego syna Syryjczycy powrócili. W 2 Królewskiej 6:25 czytamy: “I nastał w Samarii wielki głód, gdy ją oblężono”. Samarii jednak także wtedy nie zdobyto. W 2 Królewskiej 17:6 czytamy: “W dziewiątym roku panowania Ozeasza król asyryjski zdobył Samarię, uprowadził Izraela do Asyrii”. Ponownie przybyli Asyryjczycy, zniszczyli to miasto, a jego mieszkańców uprowadzili. Później to samo miało spotkać Jerozolimę. W Izajasza 10:11 czytamy: “Jak uczyniłem Samarii i jej bałwanom, tak uczynię Jeruzalemowi i jego bałwanom”.Na te tereny Asyryjczycy sprowadzili ludzi z innych części swojego imperium. Ich krainę nazywano Samarią, a ich samych Samarytanami. Gdy Żydzi wrócili z niewoli babilońskiej zamieszkali w Judzie i w Galilei. Te dwa terytoria były przedzielone Samarią czyli krainą Samarytan.Miasto zostało odbudowanie, ale potem zniszczył je Aleksander Wielki. Potem zniszczyli je Hasmoneusze, a konkretnie Jan Hyrkan. Ponownie odbudował je Herod Wielki i nazwał Sebaste. Jest to żeńska forma tytułu August po grecku. Herod zbudował tam stadion, świątynię dla cezara i drugą dla Persefony. Sprowadzono tam nie-Żydów.Właśnie w tym mieście Herod Wielki kazał zamordować dwóch swoich synów, których miał ze swojej drugiej żony Mariamne. Ją kazał zabić wcześniej. Tych synów sądził przed cezarem Augustem, który miał podobno powiedzieć, że lepiej jest być świnią Heroda niż jego synem. Herod kazał ich przywieźć do Sebaste i tutaj jego dwaj synowie zostali uduszeni.Nazwa, którą nadał Herod Wielki pozostała do naszych czasów. Ruiny Samarii znajdują się blisko palestyńskiej wioski Sebaste. Warto je zwiedzić, ale trzeba pamiętać, że miasto to było wielokrotnie burzone i odbudowywane. Poza tym Jezus je omijał. W Jana 4:5 czytamy: “Przybył więc do miasta samarytańskiego, zwanego Sychar”. Jezus gdy przechodził przez Samarię omijał Sebaste. Dlaczego?W Sebaste czyli w odbudowanej przez Heroda Samarii mieszkali nie-Żydzi. W Mateusza 15:24 znajdujemy słowa Jezusa: “A On, odpowiadając, rzekł: Jestem posłany tylko do owiec zaginionych z domu Izraela”. Jezus koncentrował się na Żydach. Omijał więc miasta zamieszkałe przez Greków i Rzymian. To samo tyczy się Tyberiady nad Jeziorem Galilejskim. Nie ma żadnych dowodów na to, aby Jezus odwiedzał takie miasta.Podsumowując. Samaria była góra należącą do Szemera. Na tej górze mieszkał chyba sędzia Tola. Później kupił ją Omri, szósty król północnego 10-plemiennego królestwa Izraela. Omri pokonał wrogów. Miał więc czas i środki na budowę nowej stolicy. Jego syn Achab sprowadził do Samarii kult Baala i Asztarte. Księga 1 Królów oraz prorok Amos wspominają też o domu z kości słoniowej, który zbudował Achab. Archeologia to potwierdziła.Na te tereny przybyli Samarytanie i cały region zaczęto nazywać Samarią. Samo miasto zniszczył Aleksander Wielki, a potem hasmonejski król Jan Hirkan. Odbudował je Pompejusz Wielki, a potem Herod Wielki, który zmienił jego nazwę na Sebaste. Już chyba Pompejusz osiedlił tam nie-Żydów. Z tego powodu miasto to omijał Jezus. Nazwa nadana przez Heroda dotrwała do naszych czasów. Gdybyście chcieli zwiedzić to miejsce jedźcie do arabskiej wioski Sebastia.Potem nabył za dwa talenty srebra od Szemera górę Szomron i obwarował tę górę, i nazwał gród, który zbudował, Samaria według imienia właściciela tej góry Szemera.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/1-Ksiega-Krolewska/16/24A stolicą Efraima jest Samaria, a głową Samarii jest syn Remaliasza.

The Voice Of GO(r)D podcast is very happy to bring you a discussion with former MIT Data Scientist Dr. David Correll, whose work within MIT FreightLab, a project of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics, examines the mother of all problems in trucking, and the one that begets so many others, DETENTION.For non-truckers, detention is when trucks are held up for unreasonable amounts of time in the loading and unloading process at customer facilities. Some facility operators are notorious for this, and I have spent days trying to get certain things unloaded, and will share a particularly egregious example in the book I am writing on the fate of the North American Trucker in 2025. (see details below)Everyone remembers seeing footage of a hundred container ships waiting to be docked at the Port Of Long Beach/Los Angeles during Covid - imagine that this is what its like in many sectors of trucking, except it happens all the time, year in, year out, and has been this way since forever.Dr. Correll's research concludes, in his words, that America leaves “40% of its trucking capacity on the table every day” due to this pernicious and seemingly intractable problem, which is the proximate cause of -- Truck driver churn and retention issues- Speeding and aggressive driving behavior which pose a saftey hazard on our roads, and has resulted in the imposition of ELDs and other surveillance tech into the lives of truckers- Shippers being ghosted by carriers who find better facilities to work with- The wasting of millenia, yes, literally thousands of years worth of valuable human capital. Multiply all of the hours lost times millions of truckers times decades of this problem …. and its probably more than millenia.- An unnecessary drag on the resiliency of American supply chains.We had an interesting discussion that covers detention and then connects it to these other issues, and we also discuss possible solutions.You can read all about it at the following links -David's testimony to the Biden ‘Trucking Task Force' -https://www.congress.gov/117/meeting/house/114233/witnesses/HHRG-117-PW0Wstate-CorrellD-20211117.pdfDavid at Medium -https://medium.com/mitsupplychain/is-there-a-truck-driver-shortage-or-a-capacity-crisis-73a7d7a5bcbFrom MIT's own news site -https://news.mit.edu/2022/are-supply-chains-stuck-detention-0425Some FreightLabs research papers for your perusal -https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/130093https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/142935https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/126383You can find Dr. Correll onlinehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/davidhccorrell/https://x.com/DavidHCCorrellPlease enjoy this musical interlude - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7kwFSp7yh4&list=RDc7kwFSp7yh4&start_radio=1I have written extensively about one of the solutions to this problem, and that solution has been sitting in Congress for 3 years, waiting to be acted upon.

Second Sunday after Pentecost Old Testament: 1 Kings 19:1-4, (5-7), 8-15a 1Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. 2Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So may the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life like the life of one of them by this time tomorrow.” 3Then he was afraid; he got up and fled for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongs to Judah; he left his servant there. 4But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a solitary broom tree. He asked that he might die: “It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my ancestors.” [5Then he lay down under the broom tree and fell asleep. Suddenly an angel touched him and said to him, “Get up and eat.” 6He looked, and there at his head was a cake baked on hot stones, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again. 7The angel of the Lord came a second time, touched him, and said, “Get up and eat, otherwise the journey will be too much for you.”] 8He got up, and ate and drank; then he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God. 9At that place he came to a cave, and spent the night there. Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”10He answered, “I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they are seeking my life, to take it away.” 11He said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake;12and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of sheer silence. 13When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. Then there came a voice to him that said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 14He answered, “I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they are seeking my life, to take it away.” 15Then the Lord said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus.” Psalm: Psalm 42 and 43 1 As the deer longs for the water-brooks, *         so longs my soul for you, O God. 2 My soul is athirst for God, athirst for the living God; *         when shall I come to appear before the presence of God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, *         while all day long they say to me,         “Where now is your God?” 4 I pour out my soul when I think on these things: *         how I went with the multitude and led them into the                               house of God, 5 With the voice of praise and thanksgiving, *         among those who keep holy-day. 6 Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul? *         and why are you so disquieted within me? 7 Put your trust in God; *         for I will yet give thanks to him,         who is the help of my countenance, and my God. 8 My soul is heavy within me; *         therefore I will remember you from the land of Jordan,         and from the peak of Mizar among the heights of Hermon. 9 One deep calls to another in the noise of your cataracts; *         all your rapids and floods have gone over me. 10 The Lord grants his loving-kindness in the daytime; *         in the night season his song is with me,         a prayer to the God of my life. 11 I will say to the God of my strength,    “Why have you forgotten me? *         and why do I go so heavily while the enemy                               oppresses me?” 12 While my bones are being broken, *         my enemies mock me to my face; 13 All day long they mock me *         and say to me, “Where now is your God?” 14 Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul? *         and why are you so disquieted within me? 15 Put your trust in God; *         for I will yet give thanks to him,         who is the help of my countenance, and my God. 1 Give judgment for me, O God,    and defend my cause against an ungodly people; *         deliver me from the deceitful and the wicked. 2 For you are the God of my strength;   why have you put me from you? *         and why do I go so heavily while the enemy                                oppresses me? 3 Send out your light and your truth, that they may lead me, *         and bring me to your holy hill         and to your dwelling; 4 That I may go to the altar of God,    to the God of my joy and gladness; *         and on the harp I will give thanks to you, O God my God. 5 Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul? *         and why are you so disquieted within me? 6 Put your trust in God; *         for I will yet give thanks to him,         who is the help of my countenance, and my God. Old Testament: Isaiah 65:1-9 1I was ready to be sought out by those who did not ask, to be found by those who did not seek me. I said, “Here I am, here I am,” to a nation that did not call on my name. 2I held out my hands all day long to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own devices; 3a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens and offering incense on bricks; 4who sit inside tombs, and spend the night in secret places; who eat swine's flesh, with broth of abominable things in their vessels; 5who say, “Keep to yourself, do not come near me, for I am too holy for you.” These are a smoke in my nostrils, a fire that burns all day long. 6See, it is written before me: I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will indeed repay into their laps7their iniquities and their ancestors' iniquities together, says the Lord; because they offered incense on the mountains and reviled me on the hills, I will measure into their laps full payment for their actions. 8Thus says the Lord: As the wine is found in the cluster, and they say, “Do not destroy it, for there is a blessing in it,” so I will do for my servants' sake, and not destroy them all. 9I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and from Judah inheritors of my mountains; my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall settle there. Psalm: Psalm 22:18-27 18 Be not far away, O Lord; *         you are my strength; hasten to help me. 19 Save me from the sword, *         my life from the power of the dog. 20 Save me from the lion's mouth, *         my wretched body from the horns of wild bulls. 21 I will declare your Name to my brethren; *         in the midst of the congregation I will praise you. 22 Praise the Lord, you that fear him; *         stand in awe of him, O offspring of Israel;         all you of Jacob's line, give glory. 23 For he does not despise nor abhor the poor in their poverty;     neither does he hide his face from them; *          but when they cry to him he hears them. 24 My praise is of him in the great assembly; *         I will perform my vows in the presence of those who                            worship him. 25 The poor shall eat and be satisfied,     and those who seek the Lord shall praise him: *         “May your heart live for ever!” 26 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to                               the Lord, *         and all the families of the nations shall bow before him. 27 For kingship belongs to the Lord; *         he rules over the nations. Epistle: Galatians 3:23-29 23Now before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith would be revealed. 24Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith. 25But now that faith has come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian, 26for in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. 27As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. 29And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to the promise. Gospel: Luke 8:26-39 26Then they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27As he stepped out on land, a man of the city who had demons met him. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he did not live in a house but in the tombs. 28When he saw Jesus, he fell down before him and shouted at the top of his voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me”— 29for Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many times it had seized him; he was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the wilds.) 30Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion”; for many demons had entered him. 31They begged him not to order them to go back into the abyss. 32Now there on the hillside a large herd of swine was feeding; and the demons begged Jesus to let them enter these. So he gave them permission. 33Then the demons came out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned. 34When the swineherds saw what had happened, they ran off and told it in the city and in the country.35Then people came out to see what had happened, and when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.36Those who had seen it told them how the one who had been possessed by demons had been healed. 37Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them; for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned. 38The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39“Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” So he went away, proclaiming throughout the city how much Jesus had done for him.

Suffering & God's Response Pt. 5 Choosing to Suffer By Louie Marsh, 4-6-2025   Intro – X quotes, video of man who quit believing.   1) When I accepted Christ I accepted SUFFERING in His Name.   “24Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” (Matthew 16:24–25, ESV)   2) This suffering can impact my ENTIRE life.   “34“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. 37Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” (Matthew 10:34–39, ESV)   3) I suffer INTERNALLY as well as physically.   “23And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” (Luke 9:23, ESV)   “20I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20, ESV)   “13“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” (Matthew 7:13–14, ESV)   4) Why not ask WHY?   “1The people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gave them into the hand of Midian seven years.” (Judges 6:1, ESV)   “12And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, “The Lord is with you, O mighty man of valor.” 13And Gideon said to him, “Please, my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all his wonderful deeds that our fathers recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?' But now the Lord has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian.” 14And the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian; do not I send you?”” (Judges 6:12–14, ESV)   5) Don't ask why, ask…   ·  WHAT can I learn from this?   “11For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.” (Hebrews 12:11, ESV)   ·  HOW can I deal with this?   “1I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:1–2, ESV)   “18For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” (Romans 8:18, ESV)   ·  WHERE do I go with this?   “20Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future. 21Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” (Proverbs 19:20–21, ESV)   “25that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.” (1 Corinthians 12:25–26, ESV)   ·  WHO can I help with the lessons learned?   “3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” (2 Corinthians 1:3–4, ESV)   6) A snap shot of living by FAITH.   “32And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets— 33who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. 35Women received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. 36Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated— 38of whom THE WORLD WAS NOT WORTHY—wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.” (Hebrews 11:32–38, ESV)

Most people struggle with money—not because they don't earn enough, but because they don't know how to use it. If I could go back, here's what I'd do differently (and what I'd double down on). Whether you're just starting out or looking to level up your financial game, this episode is for you.What You'll Learn:✅ Invest in Yourself First. The best ROI isn't in stocks or real estate—it's in your skills, mindset, and knowledge. ✅ Adopt an Abundance Mindset. There's always room for greatness. Focus on opportunities, not limitations. ✅ Diversify Your Income. One income stream = high risk. Build multiple to create security. ✅ Put Your Money to Work. Saving alone won't make you wealthy—investing will. Automate and forget it. ✅ Live Below Your Means. A high income means nothing if you're drowning in debt. Smart spending = real wealth.If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

“I am the TRUE vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.”John 15:1I believe that there is a grievous misunderstanding within the body at large about the reason our Messiah was sent here. Without this understanding, we can't truly know what it means to ”abide” in Him the way He instructs His disciples to as we continue to read through that passage in John 15. This deserves our attention, because He warns us that if we don't “abide” in Him, we will be likened to a branch that gets cut off and cast away. This is why we must understand how the branches were broken off to begin with. Broken branches in Scripture is symbolic to a broken covenant. Without this understanding, we cannot understand how the covenant was renewed through our Messiah. He didn't replace His Father's covenant—He renewed it. He came to atone for sin, yes, but the true gospel message is SO much deeper than that. He came to renew the covenant, in which He made a way for both natural and wild branches to be restored. This is why He says “I am the TRUE Vine” now. But out of all things, why would our Messiah use the imagery of a vine and a vineyard in His instructions and parables? Because He was/is teaching from the Scriptures. He is bringing to mind the prophecy that points us to Him. If you are wondering, “what prophecy?” then I encourage you to tap in to Episode 27. In order to understand the back of the Book, we have to have a foundation in the Tanakh—what people refer to as “Old” Testament. It is truly amazing how much Scripture can bring so much revelation and clarity to just one short verse in John 15:1.

·      Who has the power to save you?  ·      PIX: 3 Circles. ·      We repeat the pattern of brokenness.  ·      Philippians 2:12b - … continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. ·      1I waited, waited for the LORD;  And he stretched out to me; He heard my cry. ·       There are no silly prayers. 2He lifted me from the roaring cistern, from the mud and the mire;   He set my feet on the cliff. He set my steps. ·          3He gives my mouth a new song, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and they will fear, and they will trust in the LORD. ·        You are not just saved from something; you are saved for something.  4Happy is the man who sets the LORD as his confidence, And does not turn to the arrogant or swerve to lies. ·       Salvation means putting your confidence in the LORD.  5You, LORD my God, make many extraordinaries; Your thoughts toward us – no one can compare to you! I will declare and I will speak: they are too numerous to tell. ·       Heavenly Father, please forgive all my sins.  Enter into my life.  Take charge and I will follow Jesus.  ·       Heavenly Father, I need you to save me from _____________.                 ·      The course of my life has now brought me through a stormy sea, in a frail ship, to the common port where, landing, we account for every deed, wretched or holy. So that now I clearly see how wrong the fond illusion was that made art my idol and my king leading me to want what harmed me. My amorous fancies, once foolish and happy: what sense have they, now that I approach two deaths- the first of which I know is sure, the second threatening. Let neither painting nor carving any longer calm my soul turned to that divine love that to embrace us opened his arms upon the cross.   LIFE GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS  Starter Question: What does the word “Salvation” mean to you?”  1.      Read Psalm 40:1 2.      When have you experienced God stretching his arm to you? 3.      Read Psalm 40:2 4.      In your opinion, what is the best way for you to see where Jesus is leading you? 5.      Read Psalm 40:3 6.      How is the new song God gave you sing different than the old song you sang? 7.      Read Psalm 40:4 8.     In your opinion, why might it be difficult for someone to have confidence in the Lord?  What could you share that might encourage them? 9.    Read Psalm 40:5 10.  In your life, besides God, who thinks about you most?  In what way does God's thoughts about you differ from this person?

Amen. LessonsJonah 3-4Jonah Goes to NinevehThen the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.” So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city,[a] three days' journey in breadth.[b] Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's journey. And he called out, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” And the people of Nineveh believed God. They called for a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.The People of Nineveh RepentThe word reached[c] the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he issued a proclamation and published through Nineveh, “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything. Let them not feed or drink water, but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. Let everyone turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. Who knows? God may turn and relent and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.”When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.Jonah's Anger and the Lord's CompassionBut it displeased Jonah exceedingly,[d] and he was angry. And he prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster. Therefore now, O Lord, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.” And the Lord said, “Do you do well to be angry?”Jonah went out of the city and sat to the east of the city and made a booth for himself there. He sat under it in the shade, till he should see what would become of the city. Now the Lord God appointed a plant[e] and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort.[f] So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant. But when dawn came up the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant, so that it withered. When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on the head of Jonah so that he was faint. And he asked that he might die and said, “It is better for me to die than to live.” But God said to Jonah, “Do you do well to be angry for the plant?” And he said, “Yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die.” And the Lord said, “You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night and perished in a night. And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?” The Word of the Lord.Thanks Be To God. Te Deum laudamusYou are God: we praise you;You are the Lord: we acclaim you;You are the eternal Father:All creation worships you.To you all angels, all the powers of heaven, Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise:Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,heaven and earth are full of your glory.The glorious company of apostles praise you.The noble fellowship of prophets praise you.The white-robed army of martyrs praise you. Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you;Father, of majesty unbounded,your true and only Son, worthy of all worship, and the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide.You, Christ, are the king of glory, the eternal Son of the Father.When you became man to set us free you did not shun the Virgin's womb. You overcame the sting of deathand opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. You are seated at God's right hand in glory.We believe that you will come and be our judge.Come then, Lord, and help your people, bought with the price of your own blood, and bring us with your saintsto glory everlasting. Acts 27:27-4427 When the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land. 28 So they took a sounding and found twenty fathoms.[a] A little farther on they took a sounding again and found fifteen fathoms.[b] 29 And fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let down four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come. 30 And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, and had lowered the ship's boat into the sea under pretense of laying out anchors from the bow, 31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.” 32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship's boat and let it go.33 As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued in suspense and without food, having taken nothing. 34 Therefore I urge you to take some food. For it will give you strength,[c] for not a hair is to perish from the head of any of you.” 35 And when he had said these things, he took bread, and giving thanks to God in the presence of all he broke it and began to eat. 36 Then they all were encouraged and ate some food themselves. 37 (We were in all 276[d] persons in the ship.) 38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.The Shipwreck39 Now when it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, on which they planned if possible to run the ship ashore. 40 So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that tied the rudders. Then hoisting the foresail to the wind they made for the beach. 41 But striking a reef,[e] they ran the vessel aground. The bow stuck and remained immovable, and the stern was being broken up by the surf. 42 The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any should swim away and escape. 43 But the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and make for the land, 44 and the rest on planks or on pieces of the ship. And so it was that all were brought safely to land. The Word of the Lord.Thanks Be To God. Benedictus Dominus DeusBlessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; * he has come to his people and set them free.He has raised up for us a mighty savior, * born of the house of his servant David.Through his holy prophets he promised of old, that he would save us from our enemies, * from the hands of all who hate us. He promised to show mercy to our fathers * and to remember his holy covenant. This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham, * to set us free from the hands of our enemies, Free to worship him without fear, * holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, * for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, To give his people knowledge of salvation * by the forgiveness of their sins.In the tender compassion of our God * the dawn from on high shall break upon us, To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, * and to guide our feet into the way of peace.Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. The Apostles CreedI believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. The PrayersThe Lord be with you.And also with you.Let us pray.Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Amen. A Prayer of St. John ChrysostomAlmighty God, you have given us grace at this time, with one accord to make our common supplications to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will grant their requests: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen. DismissalLet us bless the LordThanks be to God! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen

Offer creation is a VERY hot topic for me right now.I'm supporting a lot of my clients at the moment with creating and refining their offers, and I've just gone through the process myself of creating my new 1:1 offer – Quantum Cash.Something I've realised is that offer creation is too often overlooked in favour of the shiny marketing and sales strategies (which are important too!) – BUT really it all starts with a really great transformational offer. And not just any kind of offer – I'm talking about an offer that you're not only excited about delivering but that's also unique and creates really epic results for your clients.So today's episode of the Feminine Fire Podcast is inspired by the conversations I've been having with my clients recently about their offers AS WELL AS how quickly and easily Quantum Cash came together as an offer for me.I'm going to take you through the exact step by step process I go through to create transformational offers, using Quantum Cash as an example.So let's get into it.Quantum Cash: Work with me 1:1I have opened up TWO spots to work with me 1:1 inside Quantum Cash – the 8 week mid-year sprint to create a six-figure quantum cash earning offer.This is for you if you're ready to take your spiritual business to the next level without taking on more 1:1 clients or working 24/7.

Sometimes people-pleasing can keep you in the toxic relationships longer than you'd like. To find out what type of people pleaser you are, be sure to take the FREE quiz below. Am I a People Pleaser Quiz?  Discover Your Typehttps://krisreece.com/am-i-a-people-pleaser/Have you ever read the NTV Bible? No I'm not referring to the KJV, NIV, or my all time favorite--the ESV. I'm talking about the NTV--the narcissist twisted version. The one where they take God's truth and distort it beyond recognition to suit their narrative. The one that leaves you feeling dazed and confused.  In any version of the bible, you will find the inerrant truth of God's word. But what happens if you're being fed a distorted version? If you've been living with a narcissist who loves to quote scripture to you, you've like been fed the NTV--the narcissist version of the truth. So which one do you believe? My hope is to help you stop the manipulation. That's why I'm going to breakdown the four scriptures narcissists just can't resist twisting, their main motivator when using these scriptures, and the foolproof benchmark to ensure you are never manipulated again by misused scripture. The narcissist's misuse of scripture is like a chef twisting a classic pasta recipe into some distorted version for their own gain. Maybe instead of the regular ingredients, he decides to add a few extra that he's got lying around, a few that are about to expire, and maybe even an idea that he'd like to try—at your expense. And I'm not talking about complementary ingredients. I'm talking about ingredients that don't belong and completely distort the dish. Like peanut butter in lasagna.The foundational elements are there but the finished dish is distorted beyond recognition. It's no longer appetizing. It's food, but it's not what it was intended to be. In fact, it's repulsive. The same is true for the narcissist's use of scripture. They don't use scripture for it's intended purpose but rather to serve their own selfish agenda, leaving those who are feeding off of their mess, confused and malnourished. So why do narcissists twist scripture?   The truth is, they can't resist. Scripture is a weapon for them to use against you. Satan did it to Jesus in the wilderness when he twisted three scriptures to try and get him to back off from his ultimate mission—the cross.While the Word of God is a powerful weapon, much like that recipe, the narcissist turns that weapon into a weapon of manipulative destruction. In fact there are four driving forces behind the narcissists craving for scripture:1.     Get you to do something for them2.     Get you to stop doing something to them3.     Get you to believe their lies4.     Get you to assume the blame It really is that simple. Their motive has always been and likely will always be self-focus—self-protection and self-preservation. They actually don't care if you're following biblical principles. They don't care if you're honoring God in who you are and what you do. They only care how your actions impact them.Scripture is only used to their benefit NOT yours. In other words, trusting a narcissist to use scripture properly is likely hiring a wolf to guard the sheep. So what are the scriptures that they LOVE to manipulate you with? Twisted scripture #1I know you've heard this one before. You've likely had it thrown in your face every time you raise an issue. It's tossed about every single time they don't want to face the consequences for their actions.&n

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Explaining a Math Magic Trick, published by Robert AIZI on May 5, 2024 on LessWrong. Introduction A recent popular tweet did a "math magic trick", and I want to explain why it works and use that as an excuse to talk about cool math (functional analysis). The tweet in question: This is a cute magic trick, and like any good trick they nonchalantly gloss over the most important step. Did you spot it? Did you notice your confusion? Here's the key question: Why did they switch from a differential equation to an integral equation? If you can use (1x)1=1+x+x2+... when x=, why not use it when x=d/dx? Well, lets try it, writing D for the derivative: f'=f(1D)f=0f=(1+D+D2+...)0f=0+0+0+...f=0 So now you may be disappointed, but relieved: yes, this version fails, but at least it fails-safe, giving you the trivial solution, right? But no, actually (1D)1=1+D+D2+... can fail catastrophically, which we can see if we try a nonhomogeneous equation like f'=f+ex (which you may recall has solution xex): f'=f+ex(1D)f=exf=(1+D+D2+...)exf=ex+ex+ex+...f=? However, the integral version still works. To formalize the original approach: we define the function I (for integral) to take in a function f(x) and produce the function If defined by If(x)=x0f(t)dt. This rigorizes the original trick, elegantly incorporates the initial conditions of the differential equation, and fully generalizes to solving nonhomogeneous versions like f'=f+ex (left as an exercise to the reader, of course). So why does (1D)1=1+D+D2+... fail, but (1I)1=1+I+I2+... works robustly? The answer is functional analysis! Functional Analysis Savvy readers may already be screaming that the trick (1x)1=1+x+x2+... for numbers only holds true for |x|

1I/ʻOumuamua es un objeto interestelar que presenta una trayectoria que atraviesó el sistema solar. Fue descubierto en una órbita altamente hiperbólica por Robert Weryk el 19 de octubre de 2017 con observaciones hechas por el telescopio Pan-STARRS1​ cuando el objeto estaba a 0,2 UA (30 000 000 km) de la Tierra. Inicialmente se pensó que era un cometa (clasificado como C/2017 U1), pero al observar que no tenía actividad se lo reclasificó como un asteroide (A/2017 U1) una semana después. Sin embargo la naturaleza del objeto generó una gran controversia. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Do you ever gaslight yourself when you think of the narcissistic person in your life? Do you wonder if it's your fault, if they're right, if everyone else is more sane than you because you see the bad behavior and they don't? I've been dealing with real gaslighting from narcissists and people in my life for many years. But I've recently realized how I was doing it to myself! This week I had a lot of anger and after consulting with a friend, decided to do a meditation to help release some of it. I came across this wonderful meditation by Amy Lowery on Insight Timer: https://insig.ht/wSLC3oMRpHbI share about what helped me release my anger. Then, when the veil of anger was lifted, what I found behind it was a truth that I know deep in my bones. This will help you if you've ever suffered from narcissistic abuse. My favorite expert on narcissism: Dr. Ramani Durvasula with a book ("It's Not You") and a podcast ("Navigating Narcissism"), both INCREDIBLE. I also read a book recently by a therapist about narcissistic abuse recovery: Ingrid Clayton's "Believing Me." https://www.amazon.com/Believing-Me-Healing-Narcissistic-Complex/dp/B0BCSCYRLB/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.PJDSHzhZ8WZbjLV12WtrttisvMiVRXpfyI7hs-eoQZuIvpnytQos3s9XEKVXul5qIpml0fcO2jd6sBxg9mdGj6L6E56NqOtX0uM3wUwP6oqAuCxQREXt9to8ltLeNuLgGfDMuNOZX6KvbrYvwP9y8g.z8SXIRvLY905d-O4t2WaARadWfPr7b4an9sTVSRWkks&qid=1708668278&sr=8-1I hope these help you on your journey while you navigate intergenerational trauma!  Healing is possible!

We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against your holy laws.We have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done; and apart from your grace, there is no health in us. O Lord, have mercy upon us. Spare all those who confess their faults. Restore all those who are penitent, according to your promises declared to all people in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Amen. The LessonsGenesis 18:1-16 English Standard Version18 And the Lord appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day. 2 He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing in front of him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth 3 and said, “O Lord, if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant. 4 Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree, 5 while I bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on—since you have come to your servant.” So they said, “Do as you have said.” 6 And Abraham went quickly into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quick! Three seahs of fine flour! Knead it, and make cakes.” 7 And Abraham ran to the herd and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to a young man, who prepared it quickly. 8 Then he took curds and milk and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them. And he stood by them under the tree while they ate.9 They said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” And he said, “She is in the tent.” 10 The Lord said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife shall have a son.” And Sarah was listening at the tent door behind him. 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in years. The way of women had ceased to be with Sarah. 12 So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “After I am worn out, and my lord is old, shall I have pleasure?” 13 The Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?' 14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, about this time next year, and Sarah shall have a son.” 15 But Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”16 Then the men set out from there, and they looked down toward Sodom.

It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire. 45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell. 47 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, 48 ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.' 49 For everyone will be salted with fire. 50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”Officiant: The Word of the LordPeople: Thanks be to God. A Song of Praise(Benedictus es, Domine Song of the Three Young Men, 29-34)Glory to you, Lord God of our fathers; * you are worthy of praise; glory to you.Glory to you for the radiance of your holy Name; * we will praise you and highly exalt you for ever.Glory to you in the splendor of your temple; * on the throne of your majesty, glory to you.Glory to you, seated between the Cherubim; * we will praise you and highly exalt you for ever.Glory to you, beholding the depths; * in the high vault of heaven, glory to you.Glory to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; * we will praise you and highly exalt you for ever. The CreedI believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.

But say to them, The days are near, and the fulfillment of every vision. 24 For there shall be no more any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel. 25 For I am the Lord; I will speak the word that I will speak, and it will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, but in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it, declares the Lord God.”26 And the word of the Lord came to me: 27 “Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.' 28 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God: None of my words will be delayed any longer, but the word that I speak will be performed, declares the Lord God.”Officiant: The Word of the LordPeople: Thanks be to God. The Song of Mary - MagnificatMy soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; * for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant From this day all generations will call me blessed: * the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him * in every generation.He has shown the strength of his arm, * he has scattered the proud in their conceit.He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, * and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, * and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel, * for he has remembered his promise of mercy, The promise he made to our fathers, * to Abraham and his children for ever.Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *as It was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever.
