NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanJUEVES, 20 DE NOVIEMBRETRANSFORMADOS POR LA CONTEMPLACIÓN¡Qué misterio de los misterios! Es difícil que la razón capte la majestad de Cristo, el misterio de la redención. Se ha erigido la vergonzosa cruz, los clavos han perforado sus manos y pies, la cruel lanza ha perforado su corazón y el precio de la redención ha sido pagado para la raza humana... La redención es un tema inagotable digno de nuestra más íntima contemplación. Va más allá de la comprensión del más profundo pensamiento, del alcance de la imaginación más vívida... Si estuviera Jesús con nosotros hoy, nos diría como dijo a sus discípulos: "Aún tengo muchas cosas que deciros, pero ahora no las podéis sobrellevar". Juan 16:12. Jesús anhelaba desplegar ante la mente de sus discípulos profundas y vivientes verdades, pero fue imposible por la mundanalidad de ellos y su comprensión nublada y deficiente... Los que han estado trabajando diligentemente en las minas de la Palabra de Dios y han descubierto el precioso mineral en las ricas vetas de verdad, en los divinos misterios que han estado ocultos durante siglos, ensalzarán al Señor Jesús, la Fuente de toda verdad, revelando en sus caracteres el poder santificador de lo que creen. Jesús y su gracia deben ser entronizados en el santuario más íntimo del alma. Entonces él será revelado en palabras, en oración, en exhortación, en la presentación de la sagrada verdad. El misterio de la cruz explica todos los demás misterios. A la luz que irradia del Calvario, los atributos de Dios que nos llenaban de temor respetuoso nos resultan hermosos y atractivos. Se ve que la misericordia, la compasión y el amor paternal se unen a la santidad, la justicia y el poder. Al mismo tiempo que contemplamos la majestad de su trono, tan grande y elevado, vemos su carácter en sus manifestaciones misericordiosas y comprendemos, como nunca antes, el significado del apelativo conmovedor: "Padre nuestro" (La maravillosa gracia de Dios, p. 186). Si tan solo pensáramos en él tantas veces como tenemos pruebas de su cuidado por nosotros, lo tendríamos siempre presente en nuestros pensamientos y nos deleitaríamos en hablar de él y en alabarle. Hablamos de las cosas temporales porque tenemos interés en ellas. Hablamos de nuestros amigos porque los amamos; nuestras tristezas y alegrías están ligadas con ellos. Sin embargo, tenemos razones infinitamente mayores por amar a Dios que por amar a nuestros amigos terrenales, y debería ser la cosa más natural del mundo darle el primer lugar en nuestros pensamientos, hablar de su bondad y alabar su poder. Los ricos dones que ha derramado sobre nosotros no estaban destinados a absorber nuestros pensamientos y amor de tal manera que nada tuviéramos que dar a Dios; al contrario, debieran hacemos acordar constantemente de él y unimos por vínculos de amor y gra-titud a nuestro Benefactor celestial. Vivimos demasiado apegados a lo terreno. Levantemos nuestros ojos hacia la puerta abierta del Santuario celestial, donde la luz de la gloria de Dios resplandece en el rostro de Cristo, quien "también, puede salvar hasta lo sumo a los que se acercan a Dios por medio de él". Hebreos 7:25... Debemos reunirnos en torno a la cruz. Cristo, y Cristo crucifica-do, debe ser el tema de nuestra meditación, conversación y más gozosa emoción. Debemos recordar todas las bendiciones que recibimos de Dios; y al cercioramos de su gran amor, debiéramos estar dispuestos a confiar todas las cosas a la mano que fue clavada en la cruz en nuestro favor (El camino a Cristo, pp. 102-104).

Presented by Lauren Stibgen Even though the phrase servant leadership isn't a biblical term, the Bible does tell us as leaders to serve! I am so thankful for God's Word and how it truly can inform how we work! Jesus tells us to serve in this passage. Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves (Luke 22:25-26). This verse follows a dispute among the disciples about who would be regarded as the greatest. Although we don't read as much detail about the last supper in Luke's account, we need to consider how Jesus modeled servant leadership to the disciples that night. Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him (John 13:3-5). Jesus knew he was all powerful. God had put all things under his power yet he took the posture of a lowly servant and washed his disciples' feet, going as far as to use the towel on his body to dry them. He did not exercise lordship over them and demand they wash his feet, rather as the leader, he was the one who served. Do you exercise lordship, or, as a leader, do you serve? Maybe you are not yet thinking of yourself as a leader. Let's remove the notions of worldly appointments and titles. Jesus was not considered a leader by the people of his time, at least not in the sense of the synagogue or even in politics. It was through his service of speaking the Word of God, healing the sick, and performing miracles that Jesus came to be seen as a leader. And for some, his leadership blessed them, and others, it threatened. He didn't demand lordship as the Son of God, demanding to be followed. He was followed because he served! If you find yourself in a position where you do hold a title, are you using this for the betterment of those who see you in this position? What do they see? Are you demanding respect or giving it? Are you watching your team struggle to complete work or are you seeking to help?

Prince Andrew has managed to retain his residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor after securing funds from an undisclosed benefactor.

Since many of our listeners benefit from donations, in addition to earned income, we thought we would interview an arts benefactor to highlight what they consider when engaging artists.  ​Today we released part two of our interview with Michael Frank. He's a retired emergency physician and attorney who has long been a prodigious arts benefactor. In addition to the support he gives to artists of all genres, he serves on the boards of The Cleveland Orchestra, The Cleveland Ballet and Piano Cleveland. He's also an active supporter of institutions such as The Cleveland Museum of Art, Playhouse Square and the Great Lakes Theatre Festival.  Join us to hear what motivates Mike and other benefactors to passionately support the arts!

Since Curdy is missing, the Benefactor returns to keep the show going for Episode 1 of Season 6: Little Green Eggs and Men. As a tribute to the 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast by Orson Welles and Mercury Theater on the Air that terrorized listeners who thought the invasion was real, Cruddy has rewritten the story into a simpler form which is narrated by struggling actor Clench Carbone whose on stage specialty is impersonating Sly Stallone. What could be more Hallowe'eny than that?

[BONUS] Feed Drop: Hi Nay Podcast  Content Warnings: Injury and brusing, Blood, Vomit, Animal remains, Human remains, Use of firearms Episode 1 title: Bulok (Rot)  Filipino Immigrant Mari Datuin has been working in Toronto for about a year now. Things have been quiet, until her neighbor runs screaming to her apartment.  Hi Nay, translated to “Hi Mom”, is a Filipino led, analog-style, supernatural folklore horror anthology podcast with an overarching plot, where the protagonist treats  The Horrors™ with the casual lived experience of someone who was raised around them.  Filipina immigrant Mari Datuin, raised by a babaylan (shaman) mother, accidentally saves her neighbour from a rotting monster, and is now on a mission to stop dangerous supernatural events in Toronto — alongside two supernatural detectives Donner and Murphy, her 6'2 strong-armed lesbian neighbor Laura, and Ashvin, a celebrity conman guru with real magic powers. The series is framed through Mari's phone calls to her Nanay (mother) in the Philippines, as well as the Detectives' tape recordings. Season 1 follows their mission to stop the Elders, a group of rich immortal occultists from the 1900s, from terrorizing innocent people with cursed objects called Foci — especially their mysterious leader, The Benefactor, who is so powerful that nobody is able to remember his face or name.

Two debut novelists, Wendy Erskine and Niamh Ni Mhaoileoin join Joe Haddow for a war of the words!They discuss their brilliant new novels ('The Benefactors' and 'Ordinary Saints') as well as giving us some brilliant book recommendations too.They also chat about 'queer literature', the Women's Prize, how to cast a book and the joy of free writing.THE BOOK OFF'The Price Of Salt' ('Carol') by Patricia HighsmithVS'Hunchback' by Saou IchikawaHere's a little more about our guests' novels:Ordinary SaintsAn arresting, unmissable debut novel shortlisted for the Women's Prize Discoveries award - an exploration of family, grief, queer identity, and the legacy of the Catholic Church in Ireland.'Can you imagine it? I'd say to them. Can you imagine me there in the front row in Saint Peter's Square? The lesbian sister of a literal saint.'Brought up in a devout household in Ireland, Jay is now living in London with her girlfriend, determined to live day to day and not think too much about either the future or the past. But when she learns that her beloved older brother, who died in a terrible accident, may be made into a Catholic saint, she realises she must at last confront her family, her childhood and herself . . .The Benefactors In The Benefactors we meet Frankie, Miriam and Bronagh - very different women but all mothers to 18-year-old boys. Glamorous Frankie, now married to a wealthy, older man, grew up in care. Miriam has recently lost her beloved husband Kahlil in ambiguous circumstances. Bronagh, the CEO of a children's services charity, loves the celebrity and prestige this brings her.They do not know each other yet, but when their sons are accused of sexually assaulting Misty Johnston, whose family lacks the wealth and social-standing of their own, they'll leverage all the power of their position to protect their children.From the prize-winning author of Dance Move and Sweet Home, this is an astounding novel about intimate histories, class and money - and what being a parent means. Brutal, tender and rigorously intelligent, The Benefactors is a daring, polyphonic presentation of modern-day Northern Ireland. It is also very funny. Hosted on Acast.

Ruth: Meditations on God's KindnessHebrews 11:6Philanthropy in the US began in the colonial period with the Puritans. They believed in not just supporting the poor and needy but strove beyond that to help the colonies as a whole. Men such as Cotton Mather, Benjamin Franklin, and Paul Revere exemplified this model and had tremendous impact on the development of the country. When these men gave aid and helped ensure the hungry were fed, children were looked after, and education was accessible, no one turned away their gifts.According to Psalm 119:68, God is the greatest Benefactor, for all He does is good. Again, in Romans 8:28 it says that He causes everything to work for good for those who love Him. How often do you find yourself asking for and accepting His goodness? Do you feel too undeserving to accept His gifts? We wrap up our series Ruth: Meditations on God's Kindness tomorrow morning with one final look at God's hesed towards His children.

Despite his deep and long-standing ties to Jeffrey Epstein, billionaire Les Wexner remains an almost untouchable figure in Columbus, Ohio—revered as a philanthropic titan and regional kingmaker. Wexner, the founder of L Brands and the man behind Victoria's Secret, has wielded enormous influence over the city's economic and cultural landscape for decades. From hospitals to art centers to Ohio State University, his name is etched into nearly every major institution, with donations totaling hundreds of millions. This civic dominance has insulated him from the level of scrutiny other Epstein-linked figures have received. In Columbus, Wexner is not just a businessman—he's a legacy, a power broker whose wealth and prestige have bought loyalty, silence, or both.But beneath the surface, that reverence is increasingly uncomfortable. Epstein once held power of attorney over Wexner's finances, lived in a Wexner-owned mansion, and was given an unusual level of control over Wexner's personal and professional affairs—facts that have raised serious questions about just how much Wexner knew and when. Yet in Columbus, public officials and institutional leaders rarely speak of it. The media coverage is polite, the criticism muted, and the donor gratitude eternal. It's as if the city made a conscious choice to separate Wexner the benefactor from Wexner the enabler, ignoring the fact that his empowerment of Epstein may have been a central piece of the larger abuse machinery. In any other city, he might be scrutinized.

Finding Jesus in Unexpected Places // At the Disciple's Feet Matthew 20:28 (NIV)“Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” John 13:1-17 (NIV)“It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, ‘Lord, are you going to wash my feet?' Jesus replied, ‘You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.' ‘No,' said Peter, ‘you shall never wash my feet.' Jesus answered, ‘Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.' ‘Then, Lord,' Simon Peter replied, ‘not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!' Jesus answered, ‘Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.' For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean. When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. ‘Do you understand what I have done for you?' he asked them. ‘You call me ‘Teacher' and ‘Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.'” Mark 9:34-35 (NIV)“But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest. Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.” Mark 10:45 (NIV)“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”     Luke 22:21-27 (NIV)“But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed. But woe to that man who betrays him!”  They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this. A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. Jesus said to them, ‘The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves.  For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.'” Mark 4:9 (NIV), Matt 11:15 (NIV)Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.” Some Keys to Servanthood: 1.     Serving like Jesus means we move in humility, take action on behalf of others.Phil 2:8 (NIV)“And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death.” 2.     Serving like Jesus means we engage compassionately.Matthew 9:36 (NIV)“When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” 3.     Serving like Jesus means we must serve graciously.Luke 6:35 (NIV)“But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.”             Galatians 5:13 (NIV)“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” 4.     Serving like Jesus, we must take time for people.1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.” Let your doing be done for the sake of the doing, not to be seen!

Fresh from the Archives of the Impossible conference at Rice University, Kelly and Jay sit down to unpack one of the most talked-about moments of the weekend—a provocative presentation by Dr. Garry Nolan on his involvement with the Skywatcher initiative.Skywatcher is an emerging public-facing effort claiming to demonstrate CE5-style contact, utilize psionic assets, with the aim of potentially reverse-engineering non-human technologies. The implications are enormous—and so are the questions.In this wide-ranging, deeply reflective conversation, Kelly and Jay explore:The strange and rapid emergence of Skywatcher and the implications for the disclosure movementThe increasingly blurred lines between whistleblower testimony, media spectacle, and operational theaterThe question of who's leading the charge into direct contact with non-human intelligences—and whyThe need to balance the objectives of science and venture capital against humanitarian, ethical, and philosophical questions in our quest for contact—and why that will almost certainly not happen.The potential cost of accelerating contact without asking the deeper metaphysical, spiritual, and cultural questionsWatch Cosmosis: UFOs & A New Reality:https://www.cosmosis.media/Join the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cosmosismediaSubscribe to Cosmosis:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Cosmosis.PodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7KnyktIs059pbVdccD020D?si=f3835f36a8cb479dApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cosmosis-formerly-the-ufo-rabbit-hole/id1595590107Follow CosmosisX: https://x.com/cosmosis_mediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/12EEyNVPucu/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cosmosis.mediaListen to the Cosmosis Soundtrack by Michael Rubino:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5Xvs2NAHNbKjfW7hWkjqey?si=pJPPgIPsRZGkZjJh19UULQApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/cosmosis-ufos-a-new-reality-season-one-original-soundtrack/1788465117Amazon: https://amazon.com/music/player/albums/B0DS5WY5CB?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_zY05XPzhLhuow5dAgK3g2W9yCTIMESTAMPS02:18 Exploring Sky Watcher's Initiatives03:38 Jake Barber's Revelations05:22 CE-5 and Public Disclosure07:16 Community Reactions and Ethical Questions15:39 Garry Nolan's Scientific Perspective20:56 Technological Worldview and Ethical Implications30:03 Heidegger's Philosophy and Technology39:20 The Value of Human Life in a Technological Age40:17 The Ethical Implications of Technological Intelligence43:55 The Concept of Hyper Objects and UFO Phenomena45:54 The Great Filter and Technological Surveillance47:52 The Role of Experience in Understanding Phenomena51:19 The Spectacle and Mediated Reality56:09 Dwelling vs. Dominating: A Philosophical Approach To Contact01:05:31 The Importance of Bracketing in Phenomenology01:07:57 Balancing Speed and Methodology in Disclosure01:11:00 Concluding Thoughts and Future Directions
