In this message, Pastor Dehavilland Ford powerfully unpacks the ninth command “Do not bear false witness,” showing that it's more than avoiding lies—it's a call to embody God's truth in every part of life. He explains that deception partners with the enemy, the father of lies, while truth aligns us with the heart of God. Bearing false witness isn't just speaking what's false but also staying silent when truth must be spoken. Pastor Dehavilland Ford challenges believers to reject cultural deception, live with radical honesty, and boldly reflect Jesus—the Way, the Truth, and the Life—through their words, actions, and witness to a generation desperate for truth.

When evil boasts, truth must bear witness. After a screening of October 7: Bearing Witness to the Massacre at Lexington's historic Lyric Theater, we sat down with co-creator, Justin Kron, and Israeli believer, David Boskey, for an unfiltered Q&A. The conversation traces the long arc leading to October 7, why the online narrative flipped overnight, and how followers of Jesus should respond without naïveté or despair. We talk about the spiritual war beneath the politics, the cost of telling the truth, and the aching question of hostages still in captivity. We explore how trauma can open doors for real hope, and why any durable “peace plan” must deal with ideology and spiritual warfare, not just borders. Finally, we get practical: where to find reliable info, how to disciple the next generation against propaganda, and why churches must speak with clarity. We end with an invitation to pray, to gather, and to stand with Israel in a way that honors Messiah and blesses the nations. Key Takeaways October 7 exposed not just terror but a global information war; propaganda mobilized campuses within hours. Evil is real; Scripture frames this as a spiritual battle against what God blesses - including Israel's ongoing existence. Trauma in Israel is ongoing; hostages and a long war have reshaped daily life. Durable peace must confront indoctrination, not merely redraw maps. The Church's silence wounds; loving Israel is part of God's mission to the nations. Disciple your people before the internet does; recommend reliable sources and films. Practical next steps: pray, learn, gather, and share this film widely.

Send us a textWhat if your most “impressive” spiritual work doesn't survive the fire? We dive deep into Galatians 6 and 1 Corinthians 3 to ask the question behind every act of service and every hard conversation: what is driving me—love or ego? Together we map the terrain between personal responsibility and mutual care, drawing a clear line between the burdens we must carry alone before God and the burdens we're commanded to lift for one another.As the conversation unfolds, we press on the practical fruit of doctrine. Sound teaching should make us gentle, not proud; patient, not performative. We talk through real tensions—online nitpicking, quick tempers, and the lure of being “right”—and we model a different posture: examine your heart first, then help. With scriptures from Philippians 2, Colossians 2, and Romans 12, we ground the call to humility in grace: every gift is given, every measure of faith is assigned by God's wisdom.We also take deception seriously—how repeated lies can shape souls, sometimes even inside religious spaces—and we urge compassion rather than contempt. Restoration moves at the speed of love: show the truth, wait for the scales to fall, and stay present. Along the way, we share vivid images—a soldier's pack for personal burden, a treadmill for self-preoccupation—to remind us that growth comes when we invest in others. That's how a church becomes a body: one aches, all ache; one grows, all rise.If you're ready to trade debate points for lasting fruit, this is your invitation to rebuild with gold: motives purified, mercy practiced, and works that endure.

Send us a textWhat if the greatest barrier to truth isn't ignorance, but pride dressed up as certainty? We open with a vivid claim: Christ's victory ends the deception that fenced off the nations, turning the gospel outward to every tribe and tongue. From there, we press into Galatians with clear eyes and open hands, asking what happens when we smuggle “extras” into grace—circumcision, special days, dietary rules, or any badge that tries to share the stage with faith. The answer is simple and unsettling: justification by faith alone is not a slogan; it is the center that refuses rivals.As the conversation unfolds, we tackle deception from the inside out. Scripture warns that those who do not love the truth risk delusion, and we take that seriously. So we trade hot takes for heart checks: gentle restoration over public humiliation, testing our own work before touching someone else's, and carrying one another's burdens while owning our personal load. Stories from real life ground the text—how to confront with care, how to correct without condemning, and how Jesus models both mercy and moral clarity with the woman accused of adultery. We call out the culture of “I cooked them” as a counterfeit win that leaves real people wounded.Throughout, we return to a simple question: are we coming to heal or to be seen? The Spirit's harvest shows up in quiet repair, not loud comparison. If Christ has broken the power of deception for the nations, the least we can do is refuse micro‑deceptions—legalism, superiority, scoreboard spirituality—that creep into our churches and friendships. Expect a candid, thoughtful journey through Revelation's hope, Galatians' clarity, and the gritty practice of humility that makes communities whole.If this sparks something in you, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves honest Bible conversation, and leave a review telling us where you've seen gentle restoration change a life.Support the show

Send us a textWhat if the most powerful witness isn't a debate won, but a burden carried? We open Galatians 6 and step into the gritty, beautiful work of restoring people with gentleness—loving everyone, yet giving special care to the household of faith so the whole body grows strong. Along the way, we wrestle with pride, self-deception, and the temptation to perform help instead of offering it. We share a quiet story of correction that healed more than it hurt, and we map the line between carrying someone's burden and becoming their crutch.You'll hear why Paul's command to “test your own work” is a safeguard for the soul, how humility turns knowledge into care, and why the church is at its best when it strengthens “fellow warriors” to re-enter the fight. We also tackle practical questions: How do we keep our tone Christlike in public spaces? What does accountability look like without enabling? Can a deceived heart be undeceived? The gospel says yes—and not just for individuals, but for communities shaped by truth and grace.By the end, you'll have a clearer vision for burden-bearing that's both tender and sturdy: prayerful planning, gentle restoration, shared sacrifice, and boundaries that help people stand. If you've felt burned by prideful “help” or paralyzed by a friend's need, this conversation offers a path forward under the easy yoke of Jesus. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review with one burden you're praying to help carry this week.Support the show

Send us a textStart with a simple command and it will take you straight to the heart of Christian life: bear one another's burdens. We open Galatians 6 and John 13 to trace how love moves from belief to action, from sentiment to sacrifice, and from “my private faith” to a public, embodied witness. When Jesus says, “A new commandment I give to you,” He isn't offering a slogan—He's revealing divine authority and setting the pattern for how the church breathes: we carry what others cannot carry alone.We unpack why burden-bearing fulfills the law of Christ and how it exposes the hollowness of legalism. The Judaizers pushed a gospel-plus that weighed people down with rules Christ never gave; Paul pushes back by calling us to share real loads—spiritual failures, moral lapses, financial needs, and the ordinary stresses that fray a soul. Along the way, we make a hard but needed critique: faith was never meant to be privatized. Christ is personal, yes, but never private. The Spirit places us in a body where responsibility and compassion run in both directions—each believer testing their own work while stepping into the needs of others.You'll hear raw, honest stories that bring the text to life—from the shock of grace arriving before a practiced prayer to the humble coordination of clothes and shoes for a loved one coming home from prison. These moments show how theology becomes visible: love is not a brand; it's a burden shared. If you're weary of checklist religion and hungry for the kind of community that reflects Jesus' own way of carrying us, this conversation will meet you where you are and call you a step further.If this resonated, follow the show, leave a rating, and share it with someone who needs encouragement today.

Sunday Worship Service | October 5th, 2025 Sermon: Bearing Abundant Fruit: "A Table Where All Are Fed "(Global concern as an aspect of HUMC culture) - Rev.

Bearing good fruit and living out Jesus' values are what glorify God. The world longs for what Spirit-led lives offer. The fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control shows who we are and indicates if we're living as God intends. When led by the Spirit, doing right becomes instinctive, not just rule-based obedience. In this 9-part series, we will dive into each of the fruit of the Spirit and what living from those means for us as His Church and for those who desperately need Jesus.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche says that bearing hardships while doing this retreat purifies negative karma in the same manner as when doing a nyung-nä. He mentions how bodhisattvas bear hardships for other sentient beings, even if it causes life danger. They enjoy it so much because they can see the benefit for others.Rinpoche says that he wants to speak out on behalf of all the millipedes, worms, and other insects. He says that it's important to help insects circumambulate holy objects. He mentions several stories about insects that collected merit in this way and then later attained a higher rebirth. In the same way, we can bring countless benefits to insects and animals by taking them around relics, statues, stupas, and scriptures. It directs their life towards enlightenment, it's only going up.Rinpoche states that the essence of Buddhism is compassion. Buddha was inspired by compassion to achieve enlightenment, complete the two types of merit, and show us the whole path to enlightenment. Thus, holy objects have so much power because they came from Buddha's compassion.Rinpoche talks about the realization of remembering the kindness of each insect by recognizing that it has been our mother numberless times. We should feel like that with every sentient being—whether it's a person or an insect—anyone you see, then immediately you feel that they are so kind, precious, and close to your heart.From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia. While the retreat focused on Mahamudra, Rinpoche also taught on a wide range of Lamrim topics. This retreat marked the beginning of a series of month-long retreats in Australia. Subsequent retreats were held in 2011, 2014, and 2018, hosted by the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo.Find out more about Lama Zopa Rinpoche, his teachings and projects at https://fpmt.org/

In this message, Pastor Les teaches on the ninth commandment, “You shall not bear false witness.” Lying isn't just words, it's partnering with the father of lies. From the serpent's deception in Genesis to Ananias and Sapphira in Acts, we see that falsehood always brings death. Bearing false witness can look like compromise, image-management, or silencing truth for approval. But Jesus is Truth, and when we walk in Him, we are set free to live authentically and love radically. The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God. At Mercy Culture, one of our unique characteristics is that we are a presence driven church. We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God.

Galatians 6:1-2 Rev. Rodney Henerson

Bearing good fruit and living out Jesus' values are what glorify God. The world longs for what Spirit-led lives offer. The fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control shows who we are and indicates if we're living as God intends. When led by the Spirit, doing right becomes instinctive, not just rule-based obedience. In this 9-part series, we will dive into each of the fruit of the Spirit and what living from those means for us as His Church and for those who desperately need Jesus.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we explore how theater can be both mirror and hammer—reflecting our times while shaping them. Playwright–director Karen Malpede discusses her forthcoming memoir Last Radiance: Radical Lives, Bright Deaths (out in October), caregiving for her late husband and collaborator George Bartenieff, and why nonviolent traditions (Gandhi, MLK) still matter. We unpack ecofeminism, Greek tragedy, and the irreplaceable power of live performance—where audiences and actors literally “breathe together.” If you care about art, mortality, and meaning, this conversation is a clear, unsentimental guide to showing up with courage.   About the guest : Karen Malpede is an award-winning playwright, director, essayist, and co-founder of Theater Three Collaborative. Her body of work spans ecofeminist and socially engaged theater created with the late OBIE-winning actor George Bartenieff. Her memoir, Last Radiance: Radical Lives, Bright Deaths, weaves art, caregiving, and conscious dying.   Key takeaways: Theater's unique power: Live performance remains a ritual space where audience and actors “breathe together,” creating empathy and change that screens can't replicate. Art as witness and change: Effective art reflects its time and challenges us toward nonviolent action and possibility. Memoir vs. stagecraft: Writing plays channels many voices; memoir demanded Karen's direct voice while honoring others, including George's. Love and mourning are linked: We mourn because we love; honest art helps us name grief through language (and music). Conscious dying in community: Exemplary deaths—present, creative, surrounded by loved ones—can teach us how to live and how to be with the dying. Roots of activism: Early exposure to injustice and the influence of Irish and Greek theater shaped Karen's belief in art that builds identity, dignity, and courage. Relevance in a digital age: There's room for film and podcasts, but theater's shared breath and presence give it a singular, enduring role. Practical courage: Bearing witness is prerequisite to change; intimacy on the page and stage opens readers and audiences to their own stories.   How to connect with the guest  : Website: https://www.theaterthreecollaborative.org/karen-malpede-page Facebook   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

You Are the Temple of God: Becoming Dwelling Places of His Presence In the first reading scripture recalls the rebuilding of the temple after Israel's exile, . . . . . . highlighting that true dedication is not about stones and gold, but about the people offering themselves to God. Jesus deepens this teaching, declaring himself the true temple and reminding us that our hearts are where God longs to dwell. St. Paul Confirms: We are the Temples of God The Gospel parable of the Sower emphasizes that the Word of God only bears fruit when it falls on rich soil . . . hearts open and receptive. Mary is the perfect example of this, as she received God's Word and bore Jesus Himself. The memorial of Padre Pio illustrates the same truth: his heart was rich soil where God's Word took root, leading him to a life of prayer, spiritual battle, suffering, and union with Christ. Bearing the stigmata, Padre Pio embodied the suffering Christ and showed what it means to live as God's temple. The call today is clear: each of us is invited to become a true dwelling place of God, good soil where His Word can bear lasting fruit. Hear more and listen to this Meditation Media.

Many Christians have a fairly optimistic expectation when it comes to life and ministry, feeling that with enough prayer and hard work they can change the world. Others have a more pessimistic view, with little expectation of fruit or of God using them. But Scripture offers a more nuanced option, a realism that knows that God is with us to work through us even in the hard spots and difficult times in life. Listen as Pastor Luke Herche preaches on Genesis 39:1–20, the account of Joseph and Potiphar's wife, showing in this passage God's continuing plan to bless the nations through the offspring of Abraham. Pastor Luke focuses on four main points: —God is with his people, to bless the nations through his people. —Temptation and persecution make it seem as if God is absent and his blessing has failed. —Jesus faced God's curse and absence that we might know his presence and blessing. —Jesus is with you; trust God in your calling, whatever may come, confident in his resurrection power. Part of a series on the book of Genesis. From Sunday Worship, September 21, 2025. ------------------------------- Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions: If you were retelling Joseph's story in this passage to a friend, which moments would you highlight most vividly, and why do they stand out to you? This passage raises a big question: when life unravels through temptation or injustice, where is God? How do you wrestle with that in your own story? Joseph's life reminds us that blessing isn't about circumstances but about God's presence. What makes it hard to believe that God is with us in our difficulty? What would help remind you of that reality in difficult times? God blesses “the nations” through his people. What might living as a bearer of Christ's blessing look like in your work, home, or community this week? ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.

The Spirit creates unity; believers keep it—by forbearing one another in love (Eph 4:2–3).Today's devotion builds on humility, gentleness, and patience, and adds the fourth essential: forbearing in love. From Ephesians 4:1–4 (KJV), we learn agape is not what we get—it's what we give. It bears, forgives, and keeps peace when annoyances and provocations arise. Pastor Webster shows how agape differs from self-love and mere friendship love, and why Paul calls us to endeavor—be diligent—to preserve the unity the Holy Ghost already produced.Highlights:• Agape that “covers a multitude of sins” (1 Pet 4:8; Prov 10:12)• Humility → gentleness → patience → forbearing (the unity pipeline)• Paul's urgency: “endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit” (Eph 4:3)• Real examples: Paul's readiness to suffer (Acts 21), Abraham's endurance (Heb 6:15), Christ's prayer for oneness (John 17)Takeaway: Spiritual unity is inside-out work. We can't create it, but we must keep it—diligently.Like & share to bless someone today.

WORD

Read Online“Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear.” Luke 8:8This short line is, in a sense, a summary of the Parable of the Sower. This parable presents us with four different ways in which the Word of God is received. The seed that is sown is the Word of God. The four different categories of people are compared to seed sown on a path, rocky ground, among thorns and in good soil.Jesus explains that the seed sown on the path are those “who have heard, but the Devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts.” The seed sown on rocky ground are those who “receive the word with joy, but they have no root; they believe only for a time and fall away in time of temptation.” The seed sown among thorns are those who have heard the Word and received it, but over time they are “choked by the anxieties and riches and pleasures of life, and they fail to produce mature fruit.” Finally, those who are like rich soil are those who heard the Word and “embrace it with a generous and good heart, and bear fruit through perseverance.”As you look at those categories of people, where do you fall? Most likely, for those who pray daily and try to follow our Lord, one of the last two categories is where they fall. Note that for those who are like seed sown in the thorns and those sown in rich soil, fruit is born from the Word of God. In other words, their lives do change and they do make a difference in the world on account of God's holy Word and presence in their lives. The difference, however, is that those who struggle with “the anxieties and riches and pleasures of life” will fail to produce “mature fruit.” This is a good teaching for faithful Christians to ponder.When you look at your life, what sort of fruit do you see? The “fruit” of which our Lord speaks can be identified with the fruits of the Spirit: charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, forbearance, gentleness, faith, modesty, self-control, and chastity. Thus, if you want to discern whether you are more like one who bears mature fruit vs. immature fruit, look at those holy qualities carefully. How “mature” are each of these fruits of the Spirit alive in your life? They make a wonderful examination of conscience for those looking to go deeper than just the Ten Commandments or Seven Capital Sins. If these good fruits are born from your life in a truly mature way, you should be able to see how they affect others through you. For example, how has your kindness, patience, faith and self-control helped others in their Christian walk? Reflect, today, upon the fruits of the Spirit. Review them carefully and prayerfully as you examine your own life. Where you see them in abundance, rejoice and give thanks, and work to foster their growth. Where you see them lacking, rejoice also in that insight and consider the reason they are lacking. Are there worldly anxieties, desires for riches or pleasures that hinder their growth? Seek to be that truly rich soil, and our Lord will indeed bring forth much good fruit in you and through you. My divine Sower, You sow the perfect seeds of Your Word in abundance. Please help me to open my heart to receive that Word so that an abundance of good fruit can be born. Please free me from the anxieties and deceptions of life so that I can hear clearly Your holy Word and nurture that Word in my heart. I rejoice, dear Lord, in all that You have and continue to do in and through me.

9/17/25 - We unravel the extraordinary story of Servant of God Wanda Boniszewska (1907–2003), a Polish nun of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Angels, who offered her life as a mystical victim soul for the conversion of sinners and the sanctification of priests. Bearing the hidden wounds of Christ's Passion and enduring suffering under communist persecution, Wanda's life reveals the power of redemptive suffering united with Christ. In this video, we explore her hidden mystical experiences, her diary, her mission of intercession, and her cause for canonization, inviting the faithful to rediscover the beauty of holiness in silence, sacrifice, and total surrender to God's will.

Without a doubt, the introduction of stablecoins has vastly increased overall crypto liquidity, adoption and real-world use cases as they offered a safe haven against the industry's volatility, especially during bearmarkets. However, despite being extremely efficient, the main stablecoin actors (i.e. Circle & Tether) are centralised entities. Many attempts have been made to create a reliable decentralised stablecoin, but regulations and the resounding collapse of Terra's UST have only pushed towards more established, yet centralised, variants.f(x) is a new generation CDP (collateralised debt position) protocol that offers on-chain perpetual trading for BTC & ETH with near-0 funding rates and a novel liquidation mechanism which protects users against hard liquidations. The leverage component is powered by emitting fxUSD, the protocol's decentralised stablecoin, which boasts robust peg-keeping mechanisms, the main one being fxSAVE's stability pool. The fxSAVE strategy bestows nearly 10% APY to the yield-bearing fxUSD-USDC pair.Topics covered in this episode:Cyrille's backgroundAladdinDAODecentralised stablecoinsf(x) perps and sharing liquidation risksThe efficiency of progressive liquidationsRemoving funding ratesfxSAVE's stability pool yieldsfxUSD's organic adoptionThe importance of decentralised stablecoinsWinning in the perp arenaOpportunities in the stablecoin adoption raceEpisode links:Cyrille Brière on Xf(x) Protocol on XAladdinDAO on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.
