From the archives: 2-6-23The presence of a murder weapon can be a crucial piece of evidence in securing a conviction, but it is not the only factor. The murder weapon can help establish the means by which the crime was committed, but it does not necessarily prove that the person who committed the crime is guilty. Other factors, such as eyewitness testimony, DNA evidence, and motive, can also play a role in securing a conviction. The overall strength of the evidence and the credibility of the witnesses will ultimately determine the outcome of the case.In this episode, we hear from several legal experts about the importance of securing the murder weapon for the prosecution and what it will mean if no murder weapon is recovered.(commercial at 8:26)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Is Recovery of Idaho Murder Weapon Crucial?

So the physicians embalmed Israel. 3 Forty days were required for it, for that is how many are required for embalming. And the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.4 And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to the household of Pharaoh, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, 5 ‘My father made me swear, saying, “I am about to die: in my tomb that I hewed out for myself in the land of Canaan, there shall you bury me.” Now therefore, let me please go up and bury my father. Then I will return.'” 6 And Pharaoh answered, “Go up, and bury your father, as he made you swear.” 7 So Joseph went up to bury his father. With him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt, 8 as well as all the household of Joseph, his brothers, and his father's household. Only their children, their flocks, and their herds were left in the land of Goshen. 9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very great company. 10 When they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, they lamented there with a very great and grievous lamentation, and he made a mourning for his father seven days. 11 When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning on the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore the place was named Abel-mizraim; it is beyond the Jordan. 12 Thus his sons did for him as he had commanded them, 13 for his sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field at Machpelah, to the east of Mamre, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite to possess as a burying place. 14 After he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had gone up with him to bury his father.15 When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us and pay us back for all the evil that we did to him.” 16 So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father gave this command before he died: 17 ‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you.”' And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him. 18 His brothers also came and fell down before him and said, “Behold, we are your servants.” 19 But Joseph said to them, “Do not fear, for am I in the place of God? 20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. 21 So do not fear; I will provide for you and your little ones.” Thus he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.22 So Joseph remained in Egypt, he and his father's house. Joseph lived 110 years. 23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation. The children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were counted as Joseph's own. 24 And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but God will visit you and bring you up out of this land to the land that he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.” 25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.” 26 So Joseph died, being 110 years old. They embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.Officiant: The Word of the LordPeople: Thanks be to God. A Song of Penitence(Kyrie Pantokrator)O Lord and Ruler of the hosts of heaven, * God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,and of all their righteous offspring:You made the heavens and the earth, * with all their vast array.All things quake with fear at your presence; * they tremble because of your power.But your merciful promise is beyond all measure; * it surpasses all that our minds can fathom.O Lord, you are full of compassion, * long-suffering, and abounding in mercy.You hold back your hand; *you do not punish as we deserve.In your great goodness, Lord,you have promised forgiveness to sinners, * that they may repent of their sin and be saved.And now, O Lord, I bend the knee of my heart, * and make my appeal, sure of your gracious goodness.I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, * and I know my wickedness only too well.Therefore I make this prayer to you: * Forgive me, Lord, forgive me.Do not let me perish in my sin, * nor condemn me to the depths of the earth.For you, O Lord, are the God of those who repent, * and in me you will show forth your goodness.Unworthy as I am, you will save me, in accordance with your great mercy, * and I will praise you without ceasing all the days of my life.For all the powers of heaven sing your praises, * and yours is the glory to ages of ages. Amen. 1 Corinthians 14:13-25English Standard Version13 Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. 15 What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also. 16 Otherwise, if you give thanks with your spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider say “Amen” to your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying? 17 For you may be giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not being built up. 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.20 Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature. 21 In the Law it is written, “By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.” 22 Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign not for unbelievers but for believers. 23 If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds? 24 But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, 25 the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you.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. He was conceived by the power of 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 PrayersOfficiant: The Lord be with you.People: And also with you.Officiant: Let us pray The SuffragesShow us your mercy, O Lord;And grant us your salvation.Clothe your ministers with righteousness;Let your people sing with joy.Give peace, O Lord, in all the world;For only in you can we live in safety. Lord, keep this nation under your care;And guide us in the way of justice and truth. Let your way be known upon earth; Your saving health among all nations. Let not the needy, O Lord, be forgotten; Nor the hope of the poor be taken away. Create in us clean hearts, O God; And sustain us with your Holy Spirit.Take a moment at this time to reflect and pray for the needs of others. Fourth Sunday in LentGracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world: Evermore give us this bread, that he may live in us, and we in him; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.A Collect for PeaceO God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and to serve you is perfect freedom: Defend us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries; through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.A Collect for GraceLord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought us in safety to this new day: Preserve us with your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.For MissionAlmighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry they may truly and devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. ThanksgivingsThe General ThanksgivingAlmighty God, Father of all mercies, we your unworthy servants give you humble thanks for all your goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all whom you have made. We bless you for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for your immeasurable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And, we pray, give us such an awareness of your mercies, that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up our selves to your service, and by walking before you in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory throughout all ages. Amen.A Prayer of St. ChrysostomAlmighty God, you have given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplication to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will be in the midst of them: 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. ConclusionThe grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen. 2 Corinthians 13:14

Nov 26, 2023  GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorHow God Glorifies HimselfActs 12:20-251. Whoever you depend on has power over you, v. 20b2. We must understand what motivates God, v. 21-23The glory of God is the total manifestation of all of His attributes. Three things about the glory of God…a) the glory of God is God's highest motivation b) the glory of God is intrinsic and extrinsic c) God will not share His glory with another“I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols.”             -Isaiah 42:8“For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it, for how should my name be profaned? My glory I will not give to another.”             -Isaiah 48:113. The Gospel is unfazed, v. 24“If you believe what you like in the gospel, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.”                    ― Augustine4. God acts now in light of then, v. 25Mental worship…When you don't depend on God, who/what do you depend on and what do you depend on them for? Can you feel when people are thinking too much of you and how do you respond? Does the way you live right now make your kids eager to get to this phase of life?Do you feel most loved by God when God makes much of you, or when he enables you to enjoy making much of him forever?Do you ever blame God in the hopes that this will obligate him to do your will?What is currently increasing in you?

According to journalist Matthew Petti's number crunching, 31% of English-speaking media have been using the phrase "Hamas-led Health Ministry" since Oct. 17. Before that day, only 7% were using such a phrase. What happened? Petti points to the Oct. 17 explosion at the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza, the perpetrator of which has not been independently confirmed. He said civilian casualty counts were not only second-guessed by the Biden administration but questioned because the ministry was "Hamas run." Repeating this led to the Western media pick-up of the phrase. Not only does linking the ministry and its data to the militant group delegitimize both, it serves a broader insidious narrative that Gazans and Palestinians are Hamas, which serves Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's interests in justifying the relentless bombing of civilians. Petti talks to Kelley and Daniel about this and the broader responsibility of the Western media in the coverage and interpretation of these complex issues on the ground today.More from Matt Petti:Media amplified US, Israeli narrative on Palestinian deaths, Responsible Statecraft, 11/20/23The international pressure on Israel that really matters comes from the Middle East, Analyst News, 10/19/23Why does Egypt fear evacuating Gaza? Responsible Statecraft, 10/13/23America's Broken, Lurid View of Foreign Wars, Reason magazine, 10/12/23 This is a public episode.

 With the American Thanksgiving holiday coming up next week, we thought this would be a great time to talk about gratitude. We love our Thanksgiving tradition , but the heart behind it is really taking time to be grateful and to express our thanksgiving to the Lord.Have you ever considered that gratitude is a profound response to God's love and goodness? Join us as  Neal and Jacqueline reflect on significant experiences of giving thanks. Neal mentions  1 Thessalonians 5, highlighting that it is God's will we express thanks in all circumstances.Neal and Jacqueline touch on several other scriptural passages:  Psalm 136:1-3Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.His love endures forever.Give thanks to the God of gods.His love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords:His love endures forever.Give thanks in all circumstances. It's at the heart of our personal relationship with Him.Neal then offers suggestions for ways that we can grow in that act, in that discipline of giving thanks. Psalm 50: 23The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders His way rightly I will show the salvation of God! Colossians 3:17And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Philippians 4:6Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.God's word makes it super clear that a thanksful heart is a heart that pleases Him.

You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.Lamentations 3:22-23The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Christ is Our Merciful & Faithful High PriestHebrews 2:17-18For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.There is Mercy Before God's Throne of GraceHebrews 4:14-16Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.He Has Mercy On Whom He ChoosesRomans 9:15For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”Those Who Confess & Renounce Their Sin Find MercyDaniel 9:9The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him.Proverbs 28:13 Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.Asking God for MercyPsalm 51:1-2Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.God Desires MercyMatthew 9:13But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.'For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinnersJames 2:13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.Matthew 5:7Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.Luke 6:36Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.We Are Called To Love MercyMicah 6:8He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.Proverbs 3:3-4Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart, and so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man.” Jude 1:2Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/622a9079e8fb640012cb94f3.

It took the Ukraine war to show how broken the U.S. war machine really is. President Eisenhower warned about the military-industrial complex in 1961 and we know that it is ten times as worse as he even imagined. But after almost two years of war in Ukraine and tens of billions of American weapons transfers, we now know how limited -- if not dysfunctional -- the MIC really is. Yale scholar and lecturer Michael Brenes joins us to discuss how this happened historically, and what Washington might do to claw the industry back from the five mega-corporations that now dominate and control U.S. defense manufacturing and supply.In the first segment, Kelley and Dan talk about the latest events in Gaza and Israel and bemoan the exploitation of the conflict by outside warmongers who want to drag the U.S. into a wider conflict with Iran.More from Michael Brenes:How America Broke its War Machine, Foreign Affairs, 7/3/23The future of restraint after Ukraine, Foreign Exchanges, 12/19/22Great-Power Competition Is Bad for Democracy, with Van Jackson, 7/14/22 This is a public episode.

At that time Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, “Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon.” But he did not say a word in answer to her. Matthew 15:21–23The district of Tyre and Sidon was non-Jewish territory. The people there were said to have been descendants of Cain, the son of Adam and Eve who killed his brother, Abel, and was banished. He and his descendants settled in the area of Tyre and Sidon and were not heirs to the faith given through Abraham, Moses and the prophets, making them Gentiles. Jesus and His disciples traveled about 40 miles by foot to this district from Galilee to flee Herod and the Pharisees who were seeking to kill Him. While there, Jesus intended to keep a low profile, but word of His presence spread, and this Canaanite woman came to Him to beg that He heal her daughter.At first, it is surprising that Jesus remained silent. She came to Him with deep faith and trust, and He did not answer her at first. His disciples wanted her to stop bothering them, and Jesus Himself eventually responded to her stating that His mission during His public ministry was to the “lost sheep of the house of Israel,” meaning, to the Jews. Of course, later Jesus would expand His mission entrusted to the Apostles to include the Gentiles. But at first, Jesus' mission was to the descendants of Abraham.As we read this story today, it is clear that it was by God's providence that this woman came to Jesus as she did. The Father drew her to Him, and Jesus participated in this discourse, not to be rude or dismissive but to allow her to manifest a faith that was clearly lacking in the lives of many.In our lives, at times God seems silent. But if He is silent, we must know that it is for good reason. God never ignores us; rather, His silence is a way of drawing us even closer to Himself than if He were to be immediately “loud and clear,” so to speak. Silence from God is not necessarily a sign of His disfavor. It's often a sign of His purifying action drawing us to a much fuller manifestation of our faith.As for the Gentile woman, unlike many of the Jews, she manifested a faith in the fact that Jesus was the Messiah. This is evident by her calling Him “Son of David.” Her trust in Jesus' ability to heal her daughter was expressed in very simple and clear words. She didn't need to present herself as worthy of His help, because her trust in Him was all that was needed. Furthermore, she persevered in her prayer. First, Jesus is silent. Then, His disciples try to dismiss her. And then, Jesus gives the appearance of refusing her request. All of this results not in her discouragement but in perseverance and hope. And that hope was also extraordinarily humble. Jesus' goal of allowing her to deepen her faith and manifesting it for all to see was accomplished. Reflect, today, upon the qualities of this woman's prayer. Try to imitate her by first acknowledging the truth of Who Jesus is. He is the Messiah, the Son of David, the Savior of the World, God Incarnate and so much more. Calling Jesus' true identity to mind is a wonderful way to begin to pray. From there, make your prayer simple, clear and humble. Don't present your wants, present your needs. What do you need from the Savior of the World? Of course God knows what we need more than we do, but asking is an act of trust, so do so. Lastly, persevere. Do not get discouraged in prayer. Be fervent, relentless and unwavering. Humble yourself before the almighty power and mercy of God and do so without ceasing and God will always answer your prayer in accord with His holy will. My Saving Lord, You are truly the Messiah, the Son of David, the Son of God. You and You alone deserve all honor, glory and praise. As I come to know You as You are, please fill me with a deep trust and unwavering faith in You. May I persevere through all things and never cease to put all my hope in You. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2023 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Planted By the WordA SERMON BASED ON Matthew 13:1-9,18-23The parable of the Sower and the Seed shows us how recklessly God scatters the Word in his world. He is willing to share the Word with anyone and everyone. The outcome of that sharing, however, is not always what we would like it to be. This week, we examine why we can have confidence in the all-powerful Word, even when we don't see the results in front of our eyes.

3 News Stories that Destroy Fauci. . . and speaking of pure evil, a comparison of the Bible and teachings of The Lord Jesus to the policies and actions of The Left. Spoiler Alert: they are direct matches, In one single weekend, three more stories came out that point back to what I consider an inescapable fact; Tony Fauci is a psychopath and a murderer. Remember when America's Leading Expert on Making Viruses more Deadly to Humans refused to tell Senator Rand Paul how much money Big Pharma paid his CDC Cartel? Well, Moderna just stroked a check to Tony's Pharma Company for $400 million. That payment was for a gene-sequencing concoction that Medicaid's own data shows kills older people more than the Covid Flu ever did (so now it's not “just” teen boys, elite athletes and men 25-44 getting killed by it). You probably also recall when Tony Fauci, America's Leading Expert on mass murdering pretended to a Senate Committee that his Pharma company, the CDC, never did Gain-of-Function research and the Covid Flu was the result of bat soup or some other horrible thing in a wet market? We already had proof that Fauci was lying about G-o-F research, now the Energy Department says the Wuhan Flu came from the Wuhan Lab in what we are told to believe was a leak. That's a big week for Tony Fauci, America's Leading Expert on needing to be put in prison for the rest of his life. What does God say? On the blatant corruption of a so-called government agency getting paid-off by Pharma:Exodus 23:8 And you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of those who are in the right.Proverbs 17:23The wicked accepts a bribe in secret to pervert the ways of justice.On injecting people--by force!--with a concoction well known to provide no assistance in keeping people healthy and is, in fact, harmful and deadly to many people.Matthew 25:40 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'On his blatant lies, I think we all know what God says about that. Woody Harrelson on SNL clearly going after Big Pharma, the CDC and their mRNA tyrannyBreaking: Biden Administration ratifies covid lab leak hypothesisModerna Paid Fauci Lead Organization $400 Million in ‘Royalties' on COVID-19 Vaccine Sales"58% miscarriage rate in the vaccinated" "This is an absolute disaster"Great interview b@DrTinaPeers. Thank you @LozzaFox and @GBNEWS for being a platform for truth and freedom, despite pressure from @OfcomGAME OVER: Medicare data shows the COVID vaccines increase your risk of dyinThis is why the CDC has NEVER used the Medicare data to prove the vaccines are safe. And this is why NOBODY in mainstream medicine wants you to see this data. EVER. They ALL want it hidden. FOREVER.Pregnant women are told to not eat sushi or deli meat & avoid caffeine—but a new experimental mRNA shot with ZERO long term clinical trial data was touted as safe & effective. An INDEFENSIBLE breach of medical ethics by the @CDCDirector. It's time for you to #ResignRochelle, NOW“They know this is going to kill and injure a huge number of children. But they need to do it, for the liability protection.”- @RobertKennedyJrEven a pharma-loving publication admits this: “GSK stops phase 3 trials of maternal RSV vaccine after seeing safety signal . . . but pretends Pfizer's is safe.
