Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. Ephesians 5:8-11 Light in the Lord If you get up early to go outside and wait for the sunrise, you know what it’s like to sit in darkness. Until the light comes, you can’t see anything because the darkness hides things, obscures things, and makes things impossible to see. But then, just as you think the darkness couldn’t get any deeper, you finally see it. The horizon begins to brighten in the east, and dawn begins to break. The sun begins its ascent into the sky, and its light is now cast all around you. It’s a total transformation! Everything you couldn’t see before is now visible. In the Gospel of John, Jesus says, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12). Just as the sun breaks the darkness of the earth when it rises in the east each morning, Jesus has also broken the spiritual darkness that once covered our world and our lives. Oh, what an impact this has on every single day of your life! In the darkness, you can’t see. But in the light, you can! In the darkness, you can’t function. But in the light, you can! Now, you can live as a child of the light. It’s a total transformation! “Fruitless deeds of darkness” aren’t a part of who you are anymore because “You are light in the Lord.” Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, you are the Light of the world, and you have made me light by bringing me into the light of your forgiveness, mercy, and love. Bless and keep me always as you give me the strength to now live like who I am by faith in you, my Savior. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Luke 18:9-14 Jesus addressed this parable to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else. “Two people went up to the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector. The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity — greedy, dishonest, adulterous — or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.' But the tax collector stood off at a distance and would not even raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast and prayed, ‘O God, be merciful to me a sinner.' I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” Reflection I know you probably have people in your life like I do that seem to always be pointing out the negative, mostly in someone else. And there's something about a disposition of self-righteousness that does tend to be critical of everyone who isn't doing what they think they should be doing. It's usually a sign that they're really not content with what they are, or who they are. So bless us with an understanding of the human nature that we all share. So we will not focus so much on judgment, but understanding and forgiveness. Closing Prayer Father, free is from the spirit of criticism and condemnation. It sneaks into our vocabulary. We find ourselves often picking at other people, picking at situations, always pointing out what is wrong. Bless us with the release of that and let us look always toward that which is positive. Honoring those who do well, complimenting those who do well. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Romans 10:9
And what to do when it shows up Here's the sequence: Unmet needs lead to disappointment. Disappointment gives rise to grief. Unresolved grief turns into resentment. Holding onto resentment creates anger. Welcome to Earth. Welcome to being a human. There is a 100% likelihood that to varying degrees, we will all feel unseen, unheard, or not loved in ways that we want to be loved. When we're children, we aren't able to fully process not having our needs met. The implicit grief registers in our energy field and we haul it around until we're mature enough to process it on our own or until we can afford therapy, whichever comes first. If we don't treat our grief with compassion, it thickens into resentment over time. Resentment is one of the root causes of cynicism and doubt. Resentment often causes us to hoard resources out of fear. Resentment is a huge obstacle to abundance. Holding onto our unmet needs perpetuates not having our needs met in the present. It becomes this vicious cycle of chasing and not receiving. If you fight your anger, it will fight you right back. Your anger is looking to be seen, to be heard, to be loved. Bless it, and it will stop acting out. What we embrace transforms and makes us more loving. Listen in. Then we're doing the Centering Practice together. We'll work with the full spectrum of colour.

C dans l'air du 13 mars 2026 - Un soldat français tué, six blessés : la France entraînée dans la guerre ?Il s'appelait Arnaud Frion et appartenait au 7e bataillon de chasseurs alpins de Varces, dans l'Isère. L'adjudant-chef a été tué jeudi soir dans une attaque de drones contre une base de la coalition internationale dans la région d'Erbil, en Irak. Six autres soldats ont été blessés lors de cette frappe.Un groupe armé irakien pro-iranien, nommée Ashab al-Kahf, apparu en 2019, a annoncé vouloir cibler tous les intérêts français en Irak et dans l'ensemble de la région « après l'arrivée du porte-avions français ».La présence de l'armée française en Irak n'est pas en lien avec le conflit en cours au Moyen-Orient, déclenché le 28 février par les frappes américaines et israéliennes sur l'Iran. Depuis 2014, l'armée française est engagée dans la coalition internationale formée pour combattre l'organisation djihadiste État islamique. La mission principale des militaires français est la formation des forces irakiennes et des combattants kurdes peshmergas, notamment dans la région d'Erbil, capitale du Kurdistan irakien.« Nos soldats ont été frappés alors qu'ils luttaient contre le terrorisme. La position de la France est purement défensive », a affirmé Emmanuel Macron ce vendredi. En début de semaine son côté, le président de la République avait justifié le déploiement du Charles de Gaulle en Méditerranée par un souci « de protection » de Chypre et de la présence française dans la région, où vivent 400 000 Français et où sont engagés de nombreux militaires. Dénonçant une attaque « inacceptable », le président de la République a rendu hommage à l'adjudant-chef Arnaud Frion, « mort pour la France ». « La guerre en Iran ne saurait justifier de telles attaques », a déclaré le chef de l'État, ajoutant : «La France continuera à faire preuve de sang-froid, de calme, de détermination, d'être fiable vis-à-vis de nos partenaires, de protéger nos ressortissants et de défendre nos intérêts et notre sécurité ».La France est visée directement, alors que l'Iran et ses alliés poursuivent les frappes de drones et de missiles dans la région, au lendemain de l'appel du nouveau Guide suprême iranien à maintenir le détroit d'Ormuz fermé et à étendre le conflit. Selon le gouverneur d'Erbil, le Kurdistan irakien a essuyé depuis hier plus de 30 attaques de drones. Des drones ont frappé le sultanat d'Oman, d'autres ont été interceptés en Arabie saoudite et en Israël.Face à la crise énergétique et à la flambée des prix, les États-Unis ont annoncé ce vendredi autoriser, de manière temporaire, la vente du pétrole russe stocké sur des navires. En France, le gouvernement a obtenu des distributeurs de carburants qu'ils plafonnent ou baissent de 10 à 30 centimes par le prix au litre. Mais jusqu'à quand ? Deux semaines après le début de la guerre au Moyen-Orient, les prix du pétrole flambent.Alors pourquoi la France est-elle ciblée ? Quelle est la situation au Moyen-Orient ? Quels conséquences en France ? Se dirige-t-on vers une crise économique et financière mondiale ?Experts :- Dominique TRINQUAND - ancien chef de la mission militaire française auprès de l'ONU, autrice de D'un monde à l'autre publié chez Robert Lafont- Lucas MENGET - Grand reporter, spécialiste des questions internationales, correspondant en Irak pendant douze ans- Patricia ALLEMONIERE - grand reporter, autrice de géopolitique du Sahel publié chez PUF - Alain PIROT - Journaliste, réalisateur, spécialiste des questions de défense, ancien correspondant en Israël

Sermon for March 8, 2026
Welcome to Day 2813 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2813 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 118:19-29 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2813 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand eight hundred thirteen of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Title for Today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Rejected Cornerstone – The Triumphal Entry into Sacred Space. In our previous episode, we trekked through the fierce, chaotic battleground of Psalm One Hundred Eighteen, focusing on verses ten through eighteen. We stood with the psalmist as he was completely surrounded by hostile nations, swarming around him like angry bees, and blazing like a fire of thorns. Yet, instead of surrendering to panic, he wielded the authority of the Lord. We learned that while God may allow His servants to face severe discipline, and agonizing trials, He will never abandon them to the grave. The strong right arm of the Lord brought ultimate victory, turning a scene of near-death into a vibrant camp of joyful celebration. Today, the dust of that cosmic battlefield finally settles. We are moving from the bloodstained trenches, directly to the majestic gates of the temple. We will conclude our journey through the "Egyptian Hallel," exploring the grand finale of Psalm One Hundred Eighteen, covering verses nineteen through twenty-nine, in the New Living Translation. As we read this final movement, picture a magnificent, royal procession. The victorious King has returned from the war. He approaches the holy city, leading a procession of worshippers, ready to cross the threshold into the sacred presence of Yahweh. These verses are bursting with prophetic, Messianic weight. In fact, these are the very words the crowds shouted as Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Let us join the procession, and experience the triumphant entry of the King. Psalm One Hundred Eighteen: verses nineteen through twenty-one. Open for me the gates where the righteous enter, and I will go in and thank the Lord. These gates lead to the presence of the Lord, and the godly enter there. I thank you for answering my prayer and giving me victory! The psalmist stands before the massive doors of the temple. He cries out with authority, "Open for me the gates where the righteous enter." In the Ancient Israelite worldview, cosmic geography is incredibly important. The world was viewed as a battleground of rival spiritual forces, but the temple in Jerusalem was the ultimate sacred space. It was the earthly headquarters of the Divine Council, the very intersection of heaven and earth. To cross through these gates was to step out of the chaotic, contested territory of the nations, and step directly into the ordered, holy domain of Yahweh. But these are not just ordinary doors; they are "the gates where the righteous enter." The text explicitly states, "These gates lead to the presence of the Lord, and the godly enter there." Sacred space cannot be occupied by just anyone. The rebel gods, the wicked nations, and the unrepentant sinners cannot survive the holy presence of the Creator. Only those who have been justified, those who walk in covenant faithfulness, are granted access. As the heavy wooden and bronze gates swing open, the psalmist steps into the courtyard. His first act is not to boast of his own military prowess. Instead, he lifts his voice in profound gratitude: "I thank you for answering my prayer, and giving me victory!" He remembers the narrow, suffocating place from verse five. He remembers crying out in distress. As he looks at the altar and the sanctuary, he acknowledges that his survival is entirely the result of divine intervention. Psalm One Hundred Eighteen: verses twenty-two through twenty-four. The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. This is the Lord's doing, and it is wonderful to see. This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. As the procession moves into the temple complex, the psalmist points to the architecture of the building itself, and draws out one of the most famous, and powerful, metaphors in all of Scripture. "The stone that the builders rejected, has now become the cornerstone." In ancient masonry, builders would carefully inspect the quarried rocks. If a stone was misshapen, flawed, or deemed unworthy, they would toss it aside into the rubble heap. The cornerstone, however, was the most critical piece of the entire foundation. It was the massive, perfectly cut block that locked the intersecting walls together, bearing the weight of the structure, and setting the alignment for the whole building. In the context of the Divine Council worldview, the "builders" represent the rulers of this age. They are the hostile nations, the corrupt human kings, and the dark spiritual principalities that govern the world. They inspected God's chosen King—and ultimately, the Messiah, Jesus Christ—and they judged Him as worthless. They rejected Him. They threw Him onto the rubble heap of the cross. But Yahweh, the Supreme Architect of the cosmos, walked over to the rubble heap. He picked up the rejected, discarded stone, and He made it the chief cornerstone of a brand new, eternal temple. God takes what the world despises, and uses it to anchor His entire kingdom. The congregation looks at this incredible reversal of fortunes, and responds in awe: "This is the Lord's doing, and it is wonderful to see." Human engineering cannot explain this. Political strategy cannot achieve this. It is a sheer, unadulterated miracle of God. Because of this miraculous reversal, the choir erupts into a famous declaration: "This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it." We often quote this verse casually, to celebrate a sunny Tuesday morning. But in its original context, it is much heavier. "The Day" is a technical term for the Day of Yahweh's victory. It is the specific, appointed moment in history when God vindicates His rejected King, and establishes His cornerstone. That is the true reason for our rejoicing! Psalm One Hundred Eighteen: verses twenty-five through twenty-six. Please, Lord, please save us. Please, Lord, please give us success. Bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord. We bless you from the house of the Lord. The celebration reaches a fever pitch. The people cry out, "Please, Lord, please save us." In the original Hebrew, this phrase is Hoshiah-na, which translates directly into the word we know as "Hosanna." It is both an urgent plea for deliverance, and a roaring shout of praise. As the victorious King steps forward, the priests, standing on the steps of the temple, pronounce a blessing over Him: "Bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord." They are officially recognizing His divine authority. He is not coming in his own name, seeking his own glory. He is acting as the authorized vice-regent of Yahweh. Then, the priests extend that blessing to the entire procession: "We bless you from the house of the Lord." The temple acts as a distribution center for God's grace. The blessing flows from the Holy of Holies, out to the King, and then washes over the entire assembly of the righteous. When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey, the crowds waved palm branches, and screamed these exact verses. "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" They were recognizing Him as the rejected stone, who had come to bring the ultimate Day of Salvation. Psalm One Hundred Eighteen: verses twenty-seven through twenty-nine. The Lord is God, shining upon us. Take the sacrifice and bind it with cords on the altar. You are my God, and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will exalt you! Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. The procession reaches the very center of the courtyard, stopping before the great bronze altar. The psalmist declares, "The Lord is God, shining upon us." This evokes the ancient priestly blessing from the Book of Numbers: "May the Lord make his face shine upon you." It is a theophany—a manifestation of divine light and favor. The darkness of the enemy swarm has been entirely replaced by the radiant, blinding light of God's smiling presence. But true worship is never cheap. Victory always requires a cost. The leader commands: "Take the sacrifice and bind it with cords on the altar." Literally, the Hebrew says, "Bind the festival sacrifice with cords, up to the horns of the altar." The horns of the altar were the raised corners, symbolizing the power and...
Introduction The disciples are exhausted from ministry. Jesus invites them to a quiet place to rest, but the crowds follow them. When the disciples see the need, they immediately focus on what's missing. A poverty mindset begins by focusing on what's missing.A Kingdom mindset begins by focusing on who is present. 1. Our Poverty Mindset Gets Exposed Mark 6:35–38 The disciples respond to the need with scarcity thinking: It's late It's a remote place Send them away It would cost too much We don't have enough Everything they said was factually accurate. But it was spiritually poor. A poverty mindset is not about money. It is a lack of faith and expectation in what God can do. A Poverty Mindset Says This isn't my responsibility We don't have enough It's too late Someone else should fix this A Kingdom Mindset Asks What do I have? Who is with me? What is Jesus asking me to do? Jesus doesn't argue their math. He shifts their focus. “You give them something to eat.” Then He asks a critical question: “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus never asks for what you don't have. He asks for what you have not yet surrendered. 2. Obedience Often Precedes the Miraculous Mark 6:39–41 Jesus gives the disciples instructions: Sit the people down Organize the crowd Distribute the bread They didn't just watch the miracle. They participated in it. Kingdom Principle Jesus multiplies what we surrender. But He often invites us to work with Him in the miracle. The order matters: Surrender Obedience Multiplication The bread didn't multiply before they obeyed. It multiplied as they obeyed. Sometimes we are waiting on God to move. But God may be waiting on our obedience. 3. The Rhythm of the Kingdom Mark 6:41 Jesus follows a clear pattern: He takes it He blesses it He breaks it He gives it This rhythm appears again at the Last Supper. Mark 14:22 Jesus takes the bread, blesses it, breaks it, and gives it. But this time the bread represents Himself. Jesus is the Bread of Life. The Gospel Pattern Jesus Himself follows this same rhythm: Jesus was taken (from heaven to earth) Jesus was blessed by the Father Jesus was broken on the cross Jesus was given for the salvation of the world The Pattern for Our Lives When we follow Jesus, the same rhythm begins shaping us. God will: Take your life (salvation) Bless your life (grace) Break parts of your life (sanctification) Give your life away (mission) God does not bless us so we can become more comfortable. God blesses us so we can become bread for a hungry world. The Result Mark 6:42–43 Everyone ate. Everyone was satisfied. And there were twelve baskets left over. Not barely enough. More than enough. This is what the Kingdom of God looks like. Closing Question The miracle didn't begin when there was more. It began when the disciples placed what they had into the hands of Jesus. So the question today is simple: What do you have? The time you think you don't have The gift you think is too small The story you think no one needs to hear The step of obedience you keep delaying In your hands it may look insufficient. But in the hands of Jesus, it becomes bread that feeds a hungry world. Place it in His hands.

In this Monday Moments episode of the Kreatures of Habit Podcast, Michael Chernow shares a deeply personal story about growing up with a difficult relationship with his father and the life-changing wisdom passed down from his grandmother, Grandma Chickie, a practicing Buddhist. Her mantra “Bless you, change me” became a guiding principle that transformed how he handles conflict, emotional triggers, and challenging relationships.Michael explains that the phrase is a reminder that we cannot control or change other people—only how we receive, interpret, and respond to them. Instead of reacting with defensiveness or anger, the mantra encourages blessing the other person with positivity while doing the inner work to shift your own mindset. Whether you're dealing with parents, bosses, coworkers, or anyone you can't easily avoid, this episode offers a practical and spiritual framework for navigating conflict with maturity and emotional intelligence.From childhood struggles to tattooing the mantra on his arm as a permanent reminder, Michael reflects on loss, perspective, and the discipline of responding instead of reacting.If you're working on personal growth, emotional resilience, or healing difficult relationships, this episode offers a simple but powerful tool you can start using today.

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Matthew 5:20-26 Jesus said to his disciples: "I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven. "You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, Raqa, will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, 'You fool,' will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Settle with your opponent quickly while on the way to court. Otherwise your opponent will hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Amen, I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.” Reflection The Pharisees were all about righteousness. And the mistake they made is that it didn't matter how you felt or what your intention was, as long as you did the action as perfectly as possible that was somehow pleasing to God. So the Ten Commandments could be followed very rigorously, but at the same time, Jesus is opening up a whole new way of seeing ourselves in our relationships. It's not simply about whether we do negative things to each other or must do good things to each other. It's where are you? What's your intention? The mind in the will can follow those kinds of commands that demand action. Only the heart which is promised to be filled with divinity can love. Can never want to do anything that limits a person's dignity, their value, their worth So the beauty of this passage is in keeping us in touch with our intentions. Caring for one another is the most righteous act that we can perform. Closing Prayer Father, open our hearts to the mystery of you within us so that we can turn to that beautiful presence and know that we can put on your disposition toward the world, toward each other. You are not a judging figure, but you are a forgiving figure. You are a teacher that gives us a sense of the importance of empathy and understanding of one another. Bless us with your way and not the way of a system that ignores the heart's intention. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sometimes it's a warped view of ourselves. Sometimes it's laziness. But the answer is the same: recognize it, cry out to God, and contend for more.You are not just a church member.

Psalms 1 & 2 E1 — The Psalms scroll—Israel's ancient hymn book—has deeply shaped the worship and prayers of millions of people over several millennia. The first two psalms work together as a unified introduction to the whole collection. Psalm 1 starts with the phrase “How good is life for the man who…” or in most English translations, “Blessed is the man who…” We then find a list of activities to avoid and an instruction to practice daily Scripture meditation. So how does this way of living lead to “the good life”? And what happens to those who follow it—and to those who don't? In this episode, Jon and Tim start a short series in Psalms 1 and 2 by first meditating on Psalm 1.FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter summaries, biblical words, referenced Scriptures, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSThe Path of Tragedy (0:00-21:35)Becoming Like a Tree (21:35-40:40)Standing in the Judgment (40:40-1:06:14)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Hebrew Bible: A Translation with Commentary by Robert AlterCheck out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Growing Season” by Gas Lab & Guillaume Muschalle“New Dae” by El Train & G MillsBibleProject theme song by TENTS SHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.
