In this podcast Pastor Troy Smothermon continues a series on prayer by focusing on intercessory prayer—standing in the gap for others—and urges believers to pray with passion, persistence, and urgency because God often waits for His people to pray before moving. He challenges men to lead their homes spiritually, highlights the power of agreement in prayer, and calls the church to pray for the Roswell-to-Artesia valley, the state of New Mexico, and even nations God places on their hearts. Using examples from Abraham's intercession for Sodom, watchmen in Isaiah, and the church's constant prayer for Peter in Acts, he teaches that intercession invites God into situations, should include praying God's promises and protection, and is an act of love that shifts focus from self to others.

Send a textMajor bleeding remains the principal complication of oral anticoagulation. In patients with device-detected subclinical atrial fibrillation, the decision to anticoagulate requires careful balancing of stroke prevention against bleeding risk.In this episode of CLOT Conversations, Dr. Deborah Siegal discusses a prespecified subanalysis of the ARTESiA randomized clinical trial, recently published in JAMA Cardiology. ARTESiA demonstrated a 37% reduction in stroke and systemic embolism with apixaban compared to aspirin — but at the cost of increased major bleeding.This subanalysis goes deeper, examining the site, severity, and clinical course of bleeding events. Most bleeding was gastrointestinal and non-critical. Rates of intracranial and fatal bleeding were low and similar between treatment arms. The majority of events were not clinical emergencies, and many were defined by hemoglobin decline rather than catastrophic presentation.We explore what these findings mean for individualized risk assessment, the importance of modifiable bleeding risk factors such as NSAID use, and how physicians and patients can approach shared decision-making in subclinical AF.Abstract (subscription required for full paper): Siegal DM, Sticherling C, Healey JS, McIntyre WF, Christensen LS, Parkash R, Vanassche T, Conen D, Gold M, Granger CB, Nielsen JC.

Strangite Priesthood-Beaver Island Preview Gary Weber (5 of 6)

Gospel Tangents Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 19, 2025 0:28


Recently, I had the fascinating opportunity to delve into the beliefs practices, and Strangite priesthood views with Gary Weber of the Strangite Church, a lesser-known branch of Mormonism. This discussion sheds light on many intriguing aspects of their faith, highlighting both commonalities and distinct differences from the more widely known LDS (Latter-day Saint) Church. https://youtu.be/GvLjkF8kqms Understanding Strangite Priesthood: A Core Difference One of the most significant distinctions discussed was the Strangite understanding of the priesthood and its associated "keys." While the Melchizedek priesthood holds specific keys related to office, it does not encompass all keys. According to Gary Weber, the Melchizedek priesthood cannot evolve to ordain a prophet. Instead, they believe a prophet can only be ordained by an angel, as was the case for Moses, Joseph Smith, and James J. Strang. The fundamental principle here is that "the lesser cannot ordain the greater". This leads to a critical differentiation of priesthood keys: Keys of Mysteries and Revelations: These keys are associated only with the prophet-lawgiver and can only be held by one person at a time. Gary Weber states that James J. Strang could not have been ordained by angels while Joseph Smith was alive but was ordained the moment Joseph Smith died. Keys of the Kingdom: These keys can be possessed by many people, as seen with the twelve apostles who were given these keys to spread the gospel to nations. They can also confer these keys to others, with hundreds potentially holding them. Gary noted that many members of the LDS Church often don't understand this distinction between the two types of keys. Sacrament Practices: Purity and Purpose The Strangite Church observes the sacrament once a month, rather than weekly like the LDS Church. Their reasoning is that frequent observance could make it "mundane" and cause it to "lose its specialness and sacredness". The elements used for the sacrament also have specific requirements: Juice: Any edible fresh fruit juice is acceptable, as stated in their book of law under the Eucharist. Examples include orange juice, which was used when Gary grew up in Artesia, or fresh processed grape juice from their vineyard. If no juice is available, water can be used, emphasizing the focus on one's "eye singleness to God" and the purpose of remembering Christ's blood. Typically Strangites use some sort of fresh juice (not store-bought) for the sacrament. This assures the juice has not been adulterated. Bread: Must be made of any grain, prepared by the members themselves, not store-bought. This is to ensure its purity and prevent it from being "adulterated". Other Doctrines and Practices: Baptism: They baptize at age eight, aligning with the LDS Church, based on the Doctrine and Covenants and a belief that children at this age have scientifically reached a maturity level to understand right from wrong. Baptism can occur in a church font or natural bodies of water like the White River, depending on personal preference. Priesthood Recognition: The Strangite Church does not recognize the priesthood of other churches, including the LDS priesthood, as they trace their priesthood lineage back through Joseph Smith and James J. Strang. Communion: They practice a closed communion, meaning it is only served to those who have been baptized, taken upon Christ's name, and are deemed worthy, as stated in the Book of Mormon by Jesus to the Nephites. Missionary Work: Unlike the door-to-door approach of many LDS missionaries, Strangites engage in a more limited form of proselytization. They will travel to baptize individuals with whom they've corresponded and who show genuine interest, sometimes over many months. Interestingly, Gary expressed that the wider recognition of the "Mormon" name, largely due to the LDS Church's efforts, has made it easier for Strangites to teach Mormonism,
