“Day bombing is the bold, the aggressive, the offensive thing to do. “It is the method and the practice which will put the greatest pressure on Germany, work the greatest havoc to his wartime industry and the greatest reduction to this air force.” General Ira Eaker was determined for his USAAF to bomb Germany during the day and specifically industrial targets.  Why did he disagree with Bomber Harris - and would the benefit of bombing factories outweigh the growing butcher's bill of American pilots? In a new epic seven-part series inspired by the release of ‘Masters Of The Air' on AppleTV, Al Murray and James Holland tell the true story of the Mighty 8th - one of the most courageous units in the USAAF.

The French call the first general policy speech of a prime minister before parliament the great oral exam. That expression takes on a whole new layer of meaning when the prime minister is just 34. We ask how Gabriel Attal, the youngest head of government in two centuries, weathered the traditional jeers and whistles from the opposition benches, in a National Assembly where the ruling centrists do not have a majority. With farmers' tractors converging on the capital, we also ask how he's handling his first nationwide protest movement. The same protests by agriculture workers that have mushroomed across Europe are forcing Attal into hard bargaining with unions and industry representatives ahead of an EU summit on Thursday where France will talk up ideas like "sovereignty" and a "French agricultural exception".Speaking of sovereignty, Attal is talking up curbs on immigration and better pay for those who work than those who don't. Is it enough to siphon votes from a surging far right? Read moreBaptism of fire: New French prime minister faces farmers' protestProduced by Charles Wente, Rebecca Gnignati, Peter Hutt-Sierra and Imen Mellaz.

ACTS 1:4-5 NIV “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father PROMISED, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

ACTS 2:1-13 NIVWhen the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were...

In this first installment of the ‘Fire of God' series we acquire a knowledge that throughout scripture from the Old Testament to the New, that God chose to reveal Himself through fire. Instantaneously, through the once-and-for-all sacrifice of Jesus He qualified us to carry the fire of God through His Baptism by Fire!! Learn during this powerful teaching how to receive the fire of God, why you shouldn't live without it, what the fire does in YOUR life, and how it will change you forever!

We have talked extensively about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. A question was asked by a listener about the baptism of fire closely associated with Holy Spirit baptism. Today we will answer that question. We will also take viewer questions live. Hopefully you will be edified and informed. We're back! Today's episode will be a little broad. The main thing we want to do is talk about the implications of a policy that allows parents to just turn in an unwanted child relinquishing parental rights. This is sure to be a lively discussion.

This week Inside Geneva sits down for the last in our series of exclusive interviews with UN human rights commissioners.Volker Türk has a copy of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that he was given at school more than 40 years ago. Growing up in his native Austria, he focused his mind on human rights."In light of the history of my own country, Holocaust, its own atrocities committed by Austrians during the Second World War, it was very formative for me to actually really say OK what has to happen in this world so that we come to this never again attitude," he told host Imogen Foulkes. Today, there are 55 conflicts worldwide – not the best atmosphere to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the universal declaration. But Volker Türk has a compelling analogy of why it is still important."We actually have traffic regulations, and they exist because otherwise people would get killed. That's the same on the human rights front, and that's why the Universal Declaration of human rights is so important. Yes there are people who are violating traffic regulations, as there are people who violate human rights law, sometimes egregiously, as we see now. It doesn't mean that this takes away the fundamental centrality of the norms."He also believes that if warring parties could really see the suffering they cause each other, peace might be easier to achieve."I was at the border to Gaza in Rafah, on north Sinai. I met Palestinian children, who had injuries that I have rarely seen in my life. Spine injuries, some of them couldn't even talk, because they were in such deep trauma and shock. I also met families of hostages, Israeli hostages and I saw their pain, and I can see that there is immense suffering out there and that suffering is created from humans to humans."Is there anything to celebrate on this 75th anniversary? Perhaps not, but we can learn."We cannot afford just to stay in the present. We need to learn from our crisis today to make it better in the future, and I hope that if there's one single message that comes across: that the centrality of human rights has to be much more pronounced than ever before."Join host Imogen Foulkes on the Inside Geneva to listen to the full episode. Please sign up for our newsletter for Swiss Democracy.

Grateful beyond words for the miraculous power of God that transformed my mom's life. From being bedridden and battling numerous health issues to encountering the Holy Spirit, she was instantly healed, saved, and delivered. Miracles are a display of the radical goodness of God, and I've witnessed how they led my entire family to repentance. Today, we walk in childlike faith, experiencing breakthroughs and the tangible power of Jesus.

Grateful for an incredible night of worship and revelation! God is moving in amazing ways. God's blessings are overflowing, and breakthroughs are on the horizon. Let's embrace the atmosphere of His glory and keep our hearts unoffended as we step into this season of accelerated breakthroughs! 

BAPTISM OF FIRE After Paul's ministry to the Greek philosophers of Athens in Chapter Seventeen Paul left Athens and went to Corinth and met Aquila and his wife Priscilla and lodged with them, working together with them at their common trade of tentmaking. Aquila and Priscilla had just arrived from Italy after being expelled from Rome along with many other Jews by the Roman Emperor Claudius Caesar. For many years the Jews had been exercising political activism and resistance against the Roman oppression wherever it was. This was apparent in the time of Jesus, who had been perceived as the Saviour from the Roman oppression in Judea for many Jews, and this is why so many were disappointed when he declared that his Kingdom was not of this world and told Pilate to crucify him. And the Romans finally killed or scattered over a million Jews and destroyed the temple in Jerusalem in 70AD.  Then finally Silas and Timothy arrived at Corinth from Macedonia and joined Paul as he preached in the synagogues, but the Jews argued and totally contradicted him at every turn, so Paul left off preaching to the Jews and began preaching to the Corinthian Gentiles and a great many of them believed and were baptized. One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a dream and said to him: "Keep it up, and don't let anyone intimidate or silence you. No matter what happens, I'm with you and no one is going to be able to hurt you. I have many people with me in this city." That encouraged Paul and he stayed another year and a half, faithfully teaching the Word of God to the Corinthians. Then when it was time to leave Corinth Paul sailed with Aquilla and Priscilla across the Aegean Sea to Syria and then journeyed across to Ephesus which was one of the largest and most important cities in the ancient Mediterranean. Priscilla and Aquila decided to stay on there but Paul left them and travelled east to Antioch.  Then a man named Apollos came to Ephesus. He was a Jew, born in Alexandria in Egypt, and a very powerful speaker, accurate in everything he taught about Jesus up to a point, but he only went as far as the baptism of John. When Priscilla and Aquila came across Apollos and heard him preach, they perceived that something was lacking so they took him aside and told him the full story of the power of the Holy Spirit, and about the life of Jesus within. Apollos then left Ephesus and travelled to Corinth to preach there. We now come to Chapter Nineteen, and it so happened that while Apollos was preaching in Corinth, Paul made his way down through the mountains back into Ephesus, and came across some disciples there, and must have perceived something lacking in the way they spoke about their faith in Jesus (presumably the same lack that Aquilla and Priscilla saw in Apollos). The first thing he said to them was, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? They told Paul that they had never even heard of having the Holy Spirit within them, so Paul asked them how they were baptized, and they told him they had only received John's baptism. He told them that John preached a baptism of radical life-change – a commitment in their hearts and minds to live for God and to purify their intentions - away from self and towards God. He said this to prepare people to be ready to receive the promised One coming after him, who was Jesus. John the Baptist told people that while he baptised with water the One to come was far greater than himself, John prophesied that ‘He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. He will separate the chaff from the wheat, burning the chaff with fire and storing away the good seed in the heart. The good seed is the word that Jesus speaks to us for faith to grow in our heart. As soon as the Ephesian believers heard this - Paul laid hands on them and they were baptized in the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus. From that moment on, they began to move in the supernatural gifts of the Spirit and to proclaim the greatness of God's mighty acts. But when Jesus brings us into the Baptism with the Holy Spirit it is not just about the power of the anointing of the gifts of the Holy Spirit or just about the love of God being spread abroad in our hearts - It is also about being baptised with the fire of the Holy Spirit for the purifying fire of God to burn out of us the self-glorifying and self-serving desires of our hearts.  In the Scriptures fire speaks of purifying, which is the loving chastisement of the Father upon our souls. It is not about punishment, which comes from a different motivation than chastisement. The motive for punishment is retribution and pay back whereas chastisement comes from the loving good will of Godly authority. Chastening develops character and integrity and steadfastness so that we can grow in God to live a settled and productive life of hope and faith, but the experience of chastening in our souls is still unpleasant and difficult to go through.  If people are deprived from the learning experiences of suffering through life's challenges the growth of character and spiritual potential will not happen for them. We currently live in a progressive and permissive culture that lets young people invent their own values and avoid taking personal responsibility of many of life's painful challenges. The ACT even introduced legislation last month for fourteen-year-old children to request euthanasia. Today's teenagers are being taught that they can identify as being who or what they would like to be – male or female or something else – what about a cat? And the government legally protects them so that they can be as free and as happy as they think they will be.  Paul said that he was willing to go through whatever challenges of life he needed to, and to experience the weaknesses and limitations of his own humanity in order that he might know the power of the resurrection life of Jesus within him (Philippian 3:10-14). In other words, he saw this as sharing in the sufferings of Christ – He said bring it on Lord – I want to know why I'm here with you on this planet.  Peter spoke about how this Baptism of fire worked to grow us in our faith. He wrote ‘do not be surprised at the fiery trials that come upon you to test you, as though something strange is happening to you. Sharing in Christ's sufferings is cause for joy, just as it is when his glorious life is on display through you. (1Peter 4:12) We have the choice to get all the useless and ungodly things out in the open before God as he reveals them to us so that we can find his mercy and grace. We let him prune off the deadwood branches and let him regrow us as productive branches drawing from his life, abiding in the vine. This Holy Spirit fire will progressively burn off the dead wood and stubble day by day and purify our hearts and heal and save our souls - or we can let it all pile up like deadwood behind us, but if we collaborate with the Holy Spirit in this burning off we enjoy the sweetness of his life within us here and now and also avoid suffering a fiery sense of loss when we stand before him at the end.  This is stated clearly by Paul. ‘No other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ (That's a prerequisite). Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble, each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. Don't you know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone trashes (phtheir??) the temple of God, God will put the heat on them (phtheir??). For the temple of God is holy, and you are that temple. (1Corinthians 3:11) What is this work that we build on this foundation of Jesus Christ that turns trash into gold?  The word 'work' (Greek – ergon) is used in that passage of Scripture four times so it must be an important word to get that much emphasis. Strong's Concordance defines it as anything accomplished by hand, art, industry, or mind - any product whatever. In other words, it is an endless list. In this Scripture it is not just about things being done by the mind and the heart and the hands and feet, but it is about the energy that is behind the work that involves having faith and finding grace and mercy in a loving partnership with God. Anything that we do together with God either for our own spiritual edification or as a blessing for someone else, will produce the gold of God's spiritual energy and character that will endure forever. Knowing that Jesus is with us changes our fear into faith, our despair into hope, our indifference into compassion and our selfishness into generous love. That is the work - and each one of us can choose as far as we are able, in whatever we are doing, to say yes to God - for him to live and move and have his being in us.

At just 28, Regine Cabato is one of the most influential, if relatively unknown, journalists in the Philippines. Covering both the Duterte and Marcos governments for the Washington Post, Cabato is read by political leaders around the world, not to mention embassies and key institutions that affect the Philippines. Cabato talks to Howie Severino about her recent blockbuster reports, on the so-called “digital sweatshops” in the Philippines that service the booming Artificial Intelligence industry and the century-old remains of a Filipina teen-ager secretly used for controversial research in Washington DC.  She recalls the harassment she endured during her coverage of the drug war, and explains what it will take for journalists to push back the tsunami of falsehoods reaching ordinary people.  Cabato is also a Palanca awardee for her poetry, where she expresses emotions triggered by her reporting.  Even in a hostile environment for journalists, Cabato says, “I'm not sure that I can picture myself doing anything else. I've always wanted to be a journalist.”  Links to her stories: https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/interactive/2023/maura-philippines-smithsonian-brain-collection/ http://tldtd.org/poet/regine-cabato/ https://anmly.org/ap32/neighbor-species-32/regine-cabato/ https://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/seven-journalists-five-continents-join-institute-journalist-fellows-term https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/08/28/scale-ai-remotasks-philippines-artificial-intelligence/ https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/saturday/audio/2018841930/regine-cabato-how-the-marcos-dynasty-regained-power-in-philippines https://youtu.be/xeHPmTeeKfI https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1413379452187655 --Produced by Arla FabellaResearched by MJ CerilloEdited by Jayr Magtoto

Although the LDS missionaries seemed to exemplify this love Lillie sought from God, she recognized that they were denying God by pursuing Him through salvation by their own works. After hearing Micah Wilder's YouTube testimony (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0mckI8Xfl8), she realized salvation comes by grace through faith in Christ alone, not through any special church, ordinance, or priesthood power. The moment this grace-message clicked, her heart was changed, her eyes opened, and she received the baptism of fire. Lillie read in Acts that the Holy Spirit came by an act of God; God did not require LDS priesthood. Discovering, miraculously, that she lived in the same town as the former LDS missionary whose now Christian testimony had helped point her to the Truth, Lillie connected with members of the Adam's Road ministry. Lillie's Christian mom returned home to Texas praising God. And, Lillie developed a heart to witness to LDS. She is now a valued member of the very ministry, Adam's Road, that helped her see that salvation came by grace through faith in Christ and that Jesus was enough.

Discussion of Baptism of Fire, Chapter 7 The finale of Baptism of Fire is here, and with it comes the biggest bout of Tolkien crossovers yet. We've got Black Riders, White Riders, Mirkwood, Gollum, the light/fire/ash cycle, the narrator question, Helm's Deep, Weathertop, birds – need we go on? At first glance this chapter didn't strike us as a “finale”. It didn't answer any major questions or advance the greater narrative, but upon closer inspection there are a half dozen small, character-focused “finales” and resolutions that evolve our supporting cast.

Discussion of Baptism of Fire, Chapter 6 Yennefer is finally back – and she brought all of her emotional baggage with her. The mages gather again, and it goes a little better than last time. We discuss this chapter as an echo and restaging of the conclave, and a continuation of the recent novelistic scope. Yennefer and Geralt's connection grows stronger as they're both consumed by guilt. Ciri reemerges from under Falka's wrath.

Discussion of Baptism of Fire, Chapter 5 Is this a chapter, a short story, or 14 scenes in a trench coat? Sapkowski dives into his new fellowship with the same glee as Ciri slaughtering a rude bystander. Dandelion receives a flesh wound, and Geralt almost drowns in guilt. Regis is exactly who we thought he was, but we have no idea what to make of Cahir. There's a delightful soup scene.

Discussion of Baptism of Fire, Chapter 4 Well, it looks like our freaky new friend is a vampire. But after some discussion, we're not so sure that's a bad thing. Sapkowski shakes up our little fellowship and jettisons all the new characters, which sparks a debate about guest stars and the future of the series' ensemble. Maggie develops a theory about smoke and fire that helps to explain the book's title. Cam dives into war profiteering, exploitation, collateral damage.

Discussion of Baptism of Fire, Chapter 3 Last chapter we were sneaking through a war zone, and this chapter adds monsters and magic to the equation. Our fellowship's fears and philosophies get more complex, and Sapkowski continues to hammer the Tolkien echoes. We don't just read about isolationism and the suspicion of strangers – he provokes those uncomfortable feelings within us. As Geralt's mission falters, we discuss the psychological implications of his bad decision-making.

IndyCar's rookie of the year Christian Lundgaard joins this week's episode of The Race IndyCar Podcast to discuss his rollercoaster season in which he beat fellow star newcomer David Malukas. Lundgaard reckons no other driver could have extracted more from his Rahal car at the start of the year and discusses the journey the team has undertaken to find competitiveness in the second half of the season after a rocky start to the year, with a second at the Indy road course being his top result. The team's anticipated development next season, which will be overseen by ex-McLaren F1 engineer Stefano Sordo, is also a big topic of conversation as Lundgaard outlines whether he thinks the team can return to fight for wins in 2023. Having come from a European-based single-seater background, Lundgaard also broaches the tricky topic of junior racing in Europe and America, and the super licence points on offer which hasn't allowed Colton Herta to make an F1 switch. He also discusses settling into American life while holidaying back home with friends in Denmark.
