Jim Hill and Lauren Hersey remember Dolly Parton by exploring her long and surprisingly deep connection to Disney. Jim recounts the ambitious Feature Animation Florida project that nearly gave Dolly a starring role in a hand-drawn/CG hybrid set in Appalachia, variously known as My Peoples, Angel and Her No Good Sister, and A Few Good Ghosts. They also look back at Dolly's appearances with Disney, her relationship with Miley Cyrus, the growth of Dollywood and the Imagination Library, and Jim's own conversation with the country music legend. HIGHLIGHTS • How Dolly Parton became Miley Cyrus's Aunt Dolly on Hannah Montana. • Dolly's Disney connection stretching back to Walt Disney World's 15th anniversary celebration. • The story behind Barry Cook's abandoned Feature Animation Florida project My Peoples. • Why Disney paired traditional human animation with CG Appalachian folk-art characters. • The all-star voice cast that included Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin, Ashley Judd, Travis Tritt, Hal Holbrook, and more. • How the project evolved through titles including Elgin's Peoples, Once in a Blue Moon, Angel and Her No Good Sister, and A Few Good Ghosts. • Michael Eisner's enthusiastic reaction shortly before Disney ultimately shut the project down. • How changing attitudes toward hand-drawn animation and Disney's strained relationship with Pixar helped bring the film - and Feature Animation Florida - to an end. • Jim remembers interviewing Dolly about the Imagination Library and asking her about the Disney movie that never made it to theaters.

Send us Fan MailVal is staring at divorce papers like they're a loaded weapon, and I can feel the weight of every memory she's trying not to bury. “Cutting The Ties That Bind” starts with hesitation and heartbreak, then keeps raising the stakes until the episode becomes less about a signature and more about survival. If you're into classic soap operas, character-driven drama, and sharp recap commentary, this Knots Landing Season 4 breakdown is the kind of chaos you'll want in your headphones. We track Val's push and pull with Lily Mae in her ear, Gary already moved on, and Jeff Munson is offering something that isn't just romance, it's a bigger life. The New York trip lands as a turning point: Val gets reminded she's allowed to want more, take up space, and enjoy what she's earned as a writer. At the same time, Abby is making business moves behind the scenes, managing the Jeff Munson deal and treating Gary like a piece on the board while Kenny fights to protect his creative control over CG's sound. Then everything drops when CG reveals she's pregnant, and Chip's mask slips hard. What should be complicated becomes frightening, and the episode doesn't let us look away from the power and danger in that relationship. By the end, Val is signing papers and stepping into her future, while Chip is literally stealing her manuscript, and it's the kind of ending that makes you want to yell at your screen. Listen now, then subscribe, share the show with a fellow soap fan, and leave a review so more people can find Soap Lore. What's your breaking point with Chip?

Join the "STEAM Punks" from the ACN summer program for an exciting, behind-the-scenes conversation with animator, storyboard artist, and Lesley University professor Brandon Strathmann. In this episode, Brandon pulls back the curtain on what it is really like to work in professional animation studios, sharing stories from his time doing fast-paced "floater" storyboard retakes for Family Guy, character acting for DreamWorks' CG comedy Father of the Pride, and concept design for the medieval world of Neopets.Brandon explains the mechanics of storyboarding, describing it as a visual comic strip where you act as both a director of photography and a camera inside the environment, and shares the techniques he used to visually time comedic beats. He also discusses co-creating a Japan travel-study class, teaching students about classical Japanese aesthetics like Wabi-sabi and Notan, and exploring the legendary Ghibli Museum and Osamu Tezuka Manga Museum.For young creators staring at a blank page, Brandon delivers crucial industry advice on overcoming perfectionism, remaining adaptable to rapid technological changes, and why "failure is the first step to success".#SteamboxPodcast #Storyboarding #AnimationCareers #FamilyGuy #AnimeAesthetics #StudioGhibli #LesleyArtAndDesign #YouthInMedia #CharacterDesign #KeepDrawing

Thursday, 6 August 2026 And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.” Matthew 21:44 “And the ‘having fallen upon the stone, this,' he will be pulverized. Upon whoever, also, if it should fall, it will winnowize him.” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus told the leaders He had been talking to that the kingdom of God would be taken from them and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. He next says, “And the ‘having fallen upon the stone, this,' he will be pulverized.” A new word, sunthlaó, to dash together, as it shattering or breaking, is seen here. It is seen only here and in the comparable passage in Luke 20:18. Properly, it signifies to “pulverize, crushing parts together into dust” (HELPS Word Studies). This is a reference to Isaiah 8 - “He will be as a sanctuary, But a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense To both the houses of Israel, As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15 And many among them shall stumble; They shall fall and be broken, Be snared and taken.” Isaiah 8:14, 15 Jesus is the chief Cornerstone for the temple that God is building. It is a house formed out of people from any people group. This is alluded to many times by Paul, such as, “For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building” (1 Corinthians 3:9). Paul is a Jew, and he is writing to the Gentiles in Corinth. His letters are prescriptive for the church age, anywhere and at any time. This would have been unthinkable to the Jews. They were supposedly what God is doing in the world. For Gentiles to be so prominently included, and at the same level as them, was an intolerable idea. This is what Isaiah is referring to. Jesus' words mean that those who fell upon this stone, rejecting the notion that the Messiah would set up such an edifice, would be pulverized in the process. They would be completely aghast at the notion, and in rejecting it, they would find judgment. Jesus next says, “Upon whoever, also, if it should fall, it will winnowize him.” Another new word is seen here, likmaó. There is no English word that matches the meaning. It is from likmos (a basket used for winnowing). Thus, it signifies to powderize something to a state where the winds will winnow it. Winnowize is a coined word that satisfactorily meets the intent. A suitable paraphrase is seen in the NAS: “it will scatter him like dust.” This word is also only seen here and in Luke 18:20. Jesus' words refer to the judgment of those on whom His (Jesus, the Stone) wrath falls. It will be as if they never were. This is what occurred in the judgment on Jerusalem in AD 70. The people were destroyed, and they were scattered even to the furthest parts of the world, as if winnowed. Jesus' words are connected to everything He has been saying since He started the parable of the vinedressers. In verse 41, it said, “He will destroy those wicked men miserably.” Jesus confirms the analysis with His citation of the Psalm and the reference to Isaiah. Life application: The words of Jesus are limited to the immediate context. It is true that Jesus will judge the world and that all who fail to come to Him will be sent to the Lake of Fire. However, the context of His words here is that of judgment upon Israel for rejecting Him. They failed to accept that He had a plan for the salvation of the whole world, utterly rejecting any notion that they would not be the “thing” God was doing any longer. The judgment that came upon them, as described here, does not belong to those in the world today. As such, this is not a verse that can be used when referring to rejecting Jesus today. Unfortunately, this is what is commonly the case when this verse is cited. As always, we must maintain the appropriate context to obtain the appropriate meaning of what is being conveyed. Remember this: context is king when evaluating Scripture. If you hold to this, you will save yourself from getting misdirected. Prayer: Lord God, help us to carefully and responsibly evaluate Your word. May we not stray from staying within the context that is presented. Help us to remember this as we dive into Your wonderful word. Amen.
Tuesday, 4 August 2026 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord's doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes'?” Matthew 21:42 “He says to them, the ‘Jesus', ‘Never you read in the Scriptures? “Stone – which they rejected, those building – this, It has become to ‘head, corner'. From ‘Lord', it was, this, And it is marvelous in ‘eyes, ours'.”'” (CG). In the previous verse, the response to Jesus concerning what the housemaster would do was that he would come and destroy them and lease his vineyard out to others willing to render him the fruits when they were ready. Next, it says, “He says to them, the ‘Jesus'.” Mark and Luke seemed to differ in who the speaker was in the previous verse, but all three agree that Jesus is the One who says the next words, beginning with, “Never you read in the Scriptures.” Jesus returns to Scripture to make His point. He cites Psalm 118:22. Depending on who the author of the Psalm is, it would have been between four hundred and a thousand years old at the time of Jesus. What is implied in His quoting this psalm is that He understood that the Scriptures were both reliable and authoritative. Further, there was a context to the words that was to be understood at the time when they would be fulfilled. Various interpretations of what the psalm was referring to were made, such as that it references David or Israel the nation. However, the context within the psalm clearly identifies it as referring to the Messiah who would be recognized by His rejection at some point. As for the words, they come from the Greek translation of the Old Testament. Jesus begins the citation with, “‘Stone – which they rejected, those building – this'.” The metaphor of a stone suddenly comes forward. But it is not inconsistent. The last reference in the parable was that of the son. Jesus is saying that the son in the parable is the Stone in the psalm. Jesus implies here that because the psalm speaks of the Stone, which is the son in the parable, He is the fulfillment of the Psalm. He further implies that He is the Son of the Housemaster as conveyed in the parable. Everything is being tied together, and the leaders would fully understand His intent. Of this rejected Stone, He continues with, “It has become to ‘head, corner'.” A stone was looked over in the quarry for shape, size, beauty, etc. When it was considered, those doing the building rejected it. Jesus is telling them, in advance, that He would be rejected by them, just as the son was rejected by the vinedressers. In Jesus' case, Isaiah 53 says that the Messiah would have no form or comeliness and that there was no beauty in Him that made Him desirable. He was overlooked as someone unfit for ruling, or so they thought. However, the One who was rejected became the very foundation stone of the temple. Jesus continues, “From ‘Lord', it was, this.” This was God's design all along. He determined when His Messiah would come, what He would look like, where He would grow up, etc. Every aspect of who Jesus is was determined by the Lord to perfectly fit His designs. Once this was understood by those seeing it, Jesus finishes with, “And it is marvelous in ‘eyes, ours'.” Those who see who Jesus is and how God orchestrated all things in relation to His being the Messiah, would consider it marvelous. Two thousand years later, this continues to be true. Each person who comes to God by seeing what He has done through Jesus finds it wondrous. Someday, even those who rejected Jesus will stand before God and consider His ways. They too will find it wondrous, but for them, it will be too late. Life application: Consider the love of God in what He has done in the giving of Jesus. If God wanted to rule over the people from the start with a brutal fist and a demanding hand, He could have done so. Instead, He slowly and methodically laid forth the plan of redemption both in literal history and in typology found in stories from that same history. That way, He could lead the world to Jesus while showing what He had done and would do in Jesus' coming, and even till the end of the age. Throughout it all, the story continuously brings us back to God's care for those who demonstrate faith in who He is and what He has done and will do. For us, that faith is in the giving of His Son. He was willing to send Jesus to bring us back to Himself, and all He asks of us is to believe. What a great, glorious, and loving God to do what He has done. Lord God, thank You for Your tender mercies which You have lavished upon us. Thank You that while there was enmity, You came forward to offer peace. We love You and praise You for Your tender mercies. Amen.
Monday, 3 August 2026 They said to Him, “He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.” Matthew 21:41 “They say to Him, ‘Worthless! Badly, he will destroy them, and the vineyard, he will lease to other farmers who, they will give him the fruits in the ‘junctures, theirs'.” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus asked Israel's leaders what the housemaster would do when he comes to his vineyard. In response, “They say to Him, ‘Worthless! Badly, he will destroy them.'” If the response is from the leaders, they have admitted with their own mouths that such treatment is from worthless people who deserve to be destroyed. The reason for the “if” will be explained later. As for the continued words, they say, “and the vineyard, he will lease to other farmers.” The leaders of Israel were the ones being spoken of. They rejected Christ, failed their people, and were set for a bad end. However, the vineyard won't simply be left unattended. God is working in the world for the redemption of man. The economy in which this takes place will be a new cultural setting. In fact, it is one that spans the entire world of cultures. Anywhere the gospel is believed and churches are formed, the leaders of those churches bear the responsibility for tending to God's vineyard. As for those responding to Jesus, they say these new vinedressers will be those “who, they will give him the fruits in the ‘junctures, theirs'.” When the fruits are ready, they will be offered to God accordingly. This will come about in the various ways people are brought to saving faith, discipled in doctrine, reassured through preaching, raised up to become ministers, etc. As for the words of this verse, it appears that the response to Jesus is from the leaders. However, in Mark and Luke, the answer appears to be given by Jesus – “Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers, and give the vineyard to others.” Mark 12:9 “Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and destroy those vinedressers and give the vineyard to others.” And when they heard it they said, “Certainly not!” Luke 20:15, 16 So how can this be reconciled? There are at least a couple of possibilities. One is that the leaders, in fact, spoke to Jesus as is recorded in Matthew. After that, Jesus then responded with their own words in a manner that made them understand He was referring to them, such as “He WILL come and destroy those vinedressers...” while looking directly at them. From there, they responded, “Certainly not!” as is recorded in Luke, having realized Jesus was speaking of them. A second option is that the word “they” in Matthew 21:41 is not the leaders, but the other people who were listening. From there, the leaders called out, “Certainly not!” Either way, there is no reason to assume there is any contradiction. Life application: God was evaluating the leaders of Israel and held them accountable for their failure to acknowledge Christ in His coming. They were the stewards of the law and should have known perfectly well that Jesus was the Christ. Because of their rejection of Him, they were judged accordingly. As this is true, there is no reason to assume God will be any less ready to judge those leaders in the church who mislead their people. It has become almost fashionable in liberal churches to deny the resurrection, to make sick claims about Jesus that have no basis in Scripture, etc. Such people will not fare well when they stand before the Lord to give an account of their lives. Similarly, false prophets and teachers like Joseph Smith and Ellen G. White, among a host of others, will suffer the consequences of their false teachings. Even if not teachers, each of us should tread carefully when we conduct our affairs before God, treating His name with great honor, exalting Him for His goodness. We will be evaluated on the lives we live, so be sure to keep in mind that you are always in the presence of the Creator. Lord God, we thank You for the salvation You have provided us in Christ. Help us to remember that You are always present and that we should conduct our lives before You in holiness all our days. May it be so to Your glory. Amen.
Sunday, 2 August 2026 “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers?” Matthew 21:40 “When, therefore, he should come, the ‘lord, the vineyard', what he will do to the agronomists, to those?” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus said that the agronomists took the son, cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. He now questions Israel's leaders concerning the matter, beginning with, “When, therefore, he should come, the ‘lord, the vineyard'.” This is the time of judgment that will come upon Israel for their having crucified the Son of God. Paul explains this in 1 Thessalonians – “For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe. 14 For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans, 15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men, 16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.” 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16 For Israel, there was a certain amount of sin that the Jews could expect to be dismissed by God through His grace and mercy, but there is a point at which that amount would be filled up, and beyond which only destruction could be the result. This same concept is true with any given nation, church, or person. There is a point where sin finally fills up to its measure, and then only wrath can be the inevitable result. This is what Paul is saying concerning his people of national heritage. They had filled up the measure of their sins, and he knew, as he says, “that wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.” Understanding this, Jesus asks the question: “what he will do to the agronomists, to those?” The answer is obvious, and Jesus is asking them this for a particular reason. In their response, they will indict themselves. As for Paul's words in 1 Thessalonians, he knew that the time had come, that Israel had r ejected Christ, and that there was no remedy left for them as a nation. The cup was full, the wrath had been ordained, and it was only a matter of time before the wine would be poured out. This would be realized at the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, and the dispersion of the nation to the four corners of heaven, just as their response will indicate. Life application: The words of Isaiah are calling out to the people of Israel, instructing them on exactly what Jesus conveys to them. The leaders, without considering their own Scriptures, were being presented with the fulfillment of the prophetic word – “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, Judge, please, between Me and My vineyard. 4 What more could have been done to My vineyard That I have not done in it? Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes, Did it bring forth wild grapes? 5 And now, please let Me tell you what I will do to My vineyard.” Israel was filled with bad grapes. To this day, it is that way. There was a portion of the people who believed, but they were a fraction of the whole. Today, this is true as well. The messianic believers who look to Jesus as the fulfillment of their Scriptures are taunted by the observant Jews. But the observant Jews are observant in a system of pick-and-choose religiosity that ignores precepts of the law they are unable or unwilling to observe, while proclaiming their “holiness” by the things they do observe. They may hold fast to the Sabbath and dietary laws, but they ignore innumerable other laws found in their Scriptures. It's the problem with the law. It always reflects back on us. We pick and choose our “holiness” through law. But it doesn't work. Only when Jesus is our holiness do we come to the point of having fulfilled the law. His righteousness is granted to us. In Him, we now have rest and fellowship with God. Thank God for Jesus. Lord God, help us to remember to set aside attempts at justifying ourselves before You through our own efforts. Rather, keep us trusting in what Jesus has done. May pride in our accomplishments never cloud our understanding that we need Jesus. He alone is our righteousness. Amen.

Wonder Dynamics co-founders Tye Sheridan and Nikola Todorovic join GG Hawkins to explain how their filmmaking backgrounds shaped the development of AI-powered production tools for artists. They trace the company's evolution from an interactive storytelling startup to Autodesk Flow Studio, a tool designed to transfer live-action performances to CG characters while preserving creative control and compatibility with established VFX pipelines. The conversation covers Hollywood's changing relationship with artificial intelligence, the potential for lower-cost sci-fi filmmaking, Autodesk's acquisition of Wonder Dynamics, the continuing importance of marketing and distribution, and how emerging filmmakers can prepare for an AI-integrated industry. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guests Tye Sheridan and Nikola Todorovic discuss...

Wednesday, 29 July 2026 Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them. Matthew 21:36 “Again, he sent other servants, ‘greater, the first', and they did to them as thus.” (CG) In the previous verse, Jesus referred to the treatment of the servants sent to the vinedressers. They were scourged, killed, and stoned. Jesus continues the thought, “Again, he sent other servants, ‘greater, the first'.” Two words should be considered. The first is allos, other. It refers to another of the same kind. These servants are in the same category as those who were previously sent. If they were in a different category, the Greek word heteros would have been used. The second word is pleión. It signifies a comparative, such as greater in number, greater in quality, more abundant, etc. It is used in the greater-than-quality sense in Matthew, such as righteousness greater than the scribes and Pharisees is needed to enter the kingdom of the heavens (Matthew 5:20). It is used this way when making a comparison to Jonah (Matthew 12:41) and Solomon (Matthew 12:42). Jesus is greater than them. What seems likely is that if Jesus is making a comparison, it would be to the pre-exilic and post-exilic prophets. The post-exilic prophets would be “greater” than the pre-exilic prophets because they had greater revelation, for example, in having the word of the previous prophets fulfilled. As such, they stood in a greater position of knowing the reliability of the word of God, both in judgment and in mercy. There is no reason to assume there were only “more” servants sent either to the vinedressers in the parable or to the prophets after the exile. A good example of this is found in Numbers 22:15 – “And he added yet, Balak, sending commanders greater and being enweighed from these.” (CG). This “greater than” is certainly seen in the final prophet of the Old Testament – “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” Matthew 11:11 In that verse, a different word, megas, signifying greater, is used, providing extra weight to this idea. Israel had been exiled. They should have known better, and yet, even after the exile, the maltreatment continued, as Jesus indicates, “and they did to them as thus.” This is explicitly recorded in Matthew 17:11-13 – “Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things. 12 But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.' 13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist.” This, therefore, is the likely meaning of Jesus' words here. The Bible does not explicitly focus on the maltreatment of the post-exilic prophets outside of John, but Jesus' words are certainly inclusive of him. Life application: The Old Testament records maltreatment of the prophets at various times. In Jeremiah 26, the prophet Urijah escaped from King Jehoiakim but was captured, brought back, and put to the sword. The priests of the Lord, including Ahimelech, who inquired of the Lord for David, were put to the sword by Saul through the hand of Doeg. The Spirit of God came upon Zechariah in 2 Chronicles 24, prophesying to the people who rejected His word. King Joash had Zechariah stoned to death. In 1 Kings 19, Elijah exclaimed to the Lord that the children of Israel had “killed Your prophets with the sword.” These and other such examples show that the words of Jesus are fulfilled just as the parable proclaims. Despite this overwhelming evidence recorded in Scripture, the Expositor's Greek Testament unfathomably says – “The husbandmen treat the messengers in the most barbarous and truculent manner: beating, killing, stoning to death; highly improbable in the natural sphere, but another instance in which parables have to violate natural probability in order to describe truly men's conduct in the spiritual sphere.” How can it be “highly improbable in the natural sphere” if the Bible explicitly records it is so, including in Jesus' words of the previous verse? These, along with verse 37, are explicit references to the ill treatment of the Lord's people. Understanding this, be careful not to just accept “scholarly” comments as if they are correct and reliable. Jesus' parables do not “violate natural probability.” Rather, they are given to reveal exactly what has been going on, or what will occur. They are a unique and marvelous way of conveying information that is reliable and targeted. Lord God, may we never dismiss what is recorded in Your word as unreliable, questionable, or fanciful. Rather, Your word stands as a witness to what You are doing in the world. Thank You for the sure and reliable word You have given us. Amen.

Thursday, 9 July 2026 and said to Him, “Do You hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes. Have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise'?” Matthew 21:16 “And they said to Him, ‘You hear what these, they say?' The ‘also Jesus', He says to them, ‘Yes. Never, you read that, “From ‘mouth, infants and sucklings' You prepared praise.”'?” (CG). In the previous verse, the chief priests and the scribes were jealous of Jesus and how the youths praised Him. They were outraged, “And they said to Him, ‘You hear what these, they say?'” These jealous leaders thought they were supposed to be the highlight of people's visit to the temple complex. Like someone visiting the White House would want to see the president, the chief priests and scribes would have thought they were the point of the masses' desire to be there. But like going to the White House, there is a reason beyond the person sitting at the President's desk that the White House exists. The temple was erected to honor the Lord. With the children crying out, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were honoring the Lord who had sent His Messiah, someone of greater importance than the temporary leaders of Israel. Scripture gave them the authority to minister, but each was only an incidental part of the ongoing line of priests. On the other hand, Scripture again and again pointed to the coming Messiah. If Jesus were the fulfillment of those types and prophecies, He deserved their adoration. This outraged the self-aggrandizing leaders at the temple. As such, Matthew next records, “The ‘also Jesus', He says to them, ‘Yes. Never, you read...'” Once again, as He commonly did, Jesus answered their question with another question. He affirms that He, in fact, heard their cries of exaltation, but His question is then directed to their own Scriptures. If their Scriptures approve of what is occurring, the leaders could not reasonably find fault in it. And so He continues, saying, “that, ‘From ‘mouth, infants and sucklings' You prepared praise.'?” A new word is seen, thélazó, to suckle. It is derived from thélé, a nipple. Thus, it signifies a suckling infant. The word translated as “prepared” has been seen in Matthew 4:21, where it referred to the mending of nets. It signifies to complete thoroughly. It is as if God had fully prepared His praise through the praises of these little ones. The quote itself is from the Greek translation of Psalm 8:2 – “Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou perfected praise” (Brenton Septuagint). While the leaders of the temple complex were moaning about the prospects of Jesus being the Messiah, it was the little ones in the compound who had recognized what the leaders had intentionally shut their eyes to. As Jesus cited Scripture to back up their conduct, they would be silenced for the time being, unable to argue against what Scripture said would be the case. The words of Jesus are a note concerning the incarnation. The Psalm notes that it is the Lord, Yehovah, who is the focus of attention by the babes and nursing infants. However, Jesus' words imply that the praise given to Him fulfills the words of that Psalm. As such, it signifies that He is the Lord incarnate. Life application: In once Christian nations, those who do not accept the authority of Scripture have taken over many governments. In doing so, there is no longer an established scriptural basis that is recognizable for right and proper conduct. In other words, Christians will appeal to Scripture to justify their moral codes. But if those in government reject Scripture's authority, there is an apples-against-oranges attitude. The philosophies of the warring bodies have nothing in common to agree on. But more, those opposed to the Christian message hypocritically misuse the contents of Scripture to shut up or confound the masses who have no idea what “context” their hypocritical citations belong in. The reason their citations are hypocritical is that they wholly reject the authority of Scripture, and yet they cite Scripture to form illicit doctrines that have nothing to do with Scripture. What Christians must be prepared to do when challenged about such things is to be bold enough to ask what right those citing Scripture have to cite it. In other words, “Oh, you are citing Scripture. Therefore, you must accept the authority of Scripture. Is this so?” The trap is now set for them. If they acknowledge the authority of Scripture (which they normally won't), and if the Christian properly cites Scripture that condemns the actions of these detestable people, then they no longer have an argument in their misciting of Scripture. Care and planning must be made to fend off the unholy attacks by such people. If handled properly, their hypocritical position will be evident, just as when Jesus challenged the leader of His day. Lord God, may we carefully defend against those who mishandle Your word, considering how to rightly challenge them and then demonstrating where their hypocrisy lies. Give us wisdom in this so that we can stand against their ungodly attacks. Amen.
Wednesday, 8 July 2026 But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant Matthew 21:15 “Having seen, also, the chief priests and the scribes, the ‘wonderfuls' that He did, and the boys croaking in the temple, and saying, ‘Hosanna! The ‘Son, David',' they outraged.” (CG). In the previous verse, the blind and the lame came to Jesus in the temple, and He healed them. Matthew next records, “Having seen, also, the chief priests and the scribes.” These are the religious leaders at the temple. The chief priests would be the high priest, the leaders of the divisions of the priests, and anyone else considered to be in a leadership position among the priests. Any of these there at the time might be included in the statement. They, along with the scribes, saw “the ‘wonderfuls' that He did.” It is a new word found only here in Scripture, the adjective thaumasios, something wondrous or wonderful. Being a neuter plural, it is taken substantively as a noun in English. But for a literal rendering, it says “the ‘wonderfuls'”, meaning all of the wonderful things that Jesus had done and was doing. One can almost sense the jealousy running through them as they walked around basking in their superior position within society, and yet unable to accomplish any of these “wonderfuls” that Jesus was accomplishing, one after the other. Along with that, it next says, “and the boys croaking in the temple.” Matthew uses the masculine pais rather than the neuter paidion. Although scholars argue for “children,” the masculine signifies boys. The reason for the use of the masculine may be that Matthew was remembering Jesus in the Court of Israel, the Men's Court, where women were not permitted. Either way, they were “croaking.” The word krazó, to croak like a raven, is used. It identifies a notable crying out in various contexts, such as fear, desperation, elation, etc. Matthew notes this younger group croaking “and saying, ‘Hosanna! The ‘Son, David'.'” This younger group had gotten caught up in the jubilation of the crowd that had ushered Jesus into Jerusalem. They were openly calling out with the implication that Jesus was the long-awaited Messiah, indicated by their words. Because of this, it says of the leader that “they outraged.” The word was first seen in Matthew 20:24 when the ten apostles were outraged at James and John for presuming to be placed at Jesus' right and left in His kingdom. The same unhealthy jealousy has filled Israel's leaders, as Jesus stole the spotlight among the people because of what He was accomplishing. Life application: Jealousy is one of those things that wells up in us, often because of our own inadequacies. We may not be as strong, wealthy, oratorically blessed, handsome, etc., as someone else. Because of this, we may fail to obtain something we desire because of this limitation. In such cases, we covet what they have. If that desire becomes too great, it can lead to any of a host of unacceptable outcomes, including murder. This is just what will happen to Jesus. In the very act supposedly upholding the Law of Moses, the jealousy of Israel's leaders overtook them. They coveted Jesus' superior ability to properly treat the masses in various ways, as evidenced by the use of the word “wonderfuls.” This is seen at this same general time by the words of the Pharisees in John 12 – “Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness. 18 For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign. 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, ‘You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!'” John 12:17-19 The jealousy in them welled up into coveting what Jesus was obtaining. Because of that, the leaders eventually plotted murder and had Jesus crucified. This is what law does. It causes these things to spring up in us and brings about death – “What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, ‘You shall not covet.' 8 But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead. 9 I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. 10 And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.” Romans 7:7-11 This doesn't mean that we won't covet without law, but that the law is what brings about the knowledge of the matter and the penalty associated with it that would not have come about otherwise. The leaders of Israel didn't get this. People all over the world, even in churches, still are not getting it. What we need is Jesus to free us from the body of death in which we exist. Despite the leaders' evil actions leading to Jesus' death, without that having occurred, we would remain forever separated from God. Thus, despite evil having been the motive behind their actions, the result was what God had purposed for restoring us to Himself. Think of the wisdom and glory of God, who was able to put this marvelous plan of redemption together and have it come about. Thank God for Jesus Christ, who died so that we could be reconciled to God once and forever. Hallelujah to our God. Lord God, thank You for the wisdom and beauty of the good news of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

In the previous verse, Jesus said, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.'” With that noted, Matthew next says, “And they approached Him, blind and lame, in the temple.” At the end of Chapter 20, as Jesus healed the blind men at Jericho, it said, “And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.” If they followed Him to Jerusalem, it may be that they were with Him as He entered the temple. If so, it would be obvious to those who were healed that Jesus could heal the blind at the temple as well. Even if those men didn't follow as far as Jerusalem, others who were there in Jericho and saw what Jesus did would have implored the blind and lame to seek Him out while He was there. With the unholy use of the temple taken care of, a more suitable use for bringing God glory was to be seen in these needy souls. Thus, Matthew notes, “and He cured them.” As seen in earlier commentaries, this was one of the expected roles the Messiah would fulfill – “Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 6 Then the lame shall leap like a deer, And the tongue of the dumb sing.” Isaiah 35:5, 6 Jesus was sent by His Father on a mission to accomplish all things in the Law and Prophets. He set about completing that mission, and He continued through His last week before the cross. Life application: Take time today to pray for people in your church to want to know God more intimately by wanting to know His word more fully. Those who think they can bypass this fundamental and basic step in knowing Him more personally are not thinking clearly. It is true that we can be deeply in love with God by knowing the simple gospel. Many people lived lives full of love for Him without having a copy of His word, but to know Him intimately, and to understand what He expects of us more fully, there is no substitute for reading and contemplating Scripture. It is truly our lifeline back to Him. Be sure to read it and to pray for others to want to do so as well. The word is what will bring about true change in the hearts and minds of those who have received Jesus. Lord God, thank You for our precious Lord Jesus, who is so meticulously revealed to us in Your wonderful word. May we have the deepest hunger and desire to know You by knowing Him. And we will know Him when we know Your word. Help us to be responsible in this matter. Amen.
Monday, 6 July 2026 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.'” Matthew 21:13 “And He says to them, ‘It has been written: “The ‘house, Mine', ‘house, prayer' it will be called.” You also, it, you made ‘cave, robbers'.'” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus drove out those selling in the temple and overturned the tables of the money changers and those who sold doves. After having done that, Matthew next records, “And He says to them, ‘It has been written.'” Jesus uses Scripture as the written authority to justify doing what He has done. Even if the leaders of Israel allowed this under their authority, what they allowed could not be justified if it conflicted with what God submitted in His word. It is His word that established them as a people and gave the leaders their authority to lead. As for what had been written, Jesus loosely cites Isaiah and Jeremiah, saying, “The ‘house, Mine', ‘house, prayer' it will be called.” This is from Isaiah 56:7. A literal translation from the Hebrew says – “...for My house, ‘house, intercession' it will be called to all the peoples.” Jesus' citation of this shows what the intent of the temple was. It was to be a house of intercession between God and man. And more, it was for all the peoples, meaning people groups that extend beyond the nation of Israel. Instead of presenting the temple to the peoples in this manner, Jesus next says, “You also, it, you made ‘cave, robbers'.” Two new words are seen here. The first is spélaion, a cavern or cave. One can see the etymological ancestor of our word spelunk, a cave. Instead of a place of order and structure, a cave is an unshapely, dark dwelling where hidden deeds can be carried out. The second new word is léstés, a robber. It is someone who steals out in the open, typically with violence. The thought is something like a bandit or a marauder. If on the high seas, it would be a pirate. Jesus' words are cited from Jeremiah 7:11 – “The ‘cave, tyrants' it became, the house, the this, which it was called, My name, upon it.” The Hebrew word parits, tyrant, is from parats, to break out. As such, the word refers to someone like a violent destroyer. The people had taken a good thing and destroyed its intended use. Because of their treatment of the House of God, Jesus was compelled to take action, setting things right before His Father. Life application: One can see how God jealously protects His dwelling. The tabernacle and then the temple were edifices intended to reflect the glory of who God in Christ would be and what He would do. Each implement was a type and shadow of Jesus, meaning His person and His ministry. They had profaned that by allowing things not designated by God to interfere with what was ordained by Him. But this is something we can do today as well. God has presented Christ Jesus to the world. The gospels are recorded, and the epistles have been provided to explain Jesus and His ministry. But anytime we deviate from what is written, even unintentionally, we mar and deface God's presentation of Christ, just as those of Israel marred and defaced the anticipations of Christ in their treatment of God's house. In Ezekiel 9:1-11, God judged and destroyed the people for exactly this irreverent attitude. Take time to read that passage today and think about what our actions deserve when we treat the word in a similar manner. Do you think God is pleased with legalism? Is He pleased with liberal theology? Will He be forgiving of Joseph Smith's addition to Scripture in the Book of Mormon or the Seventh Day Adventists esteeming of the writings of Ellen G. White? No. He will pour out His anger on those who so manipulate and twist His word for their own demented purposes. God does not change. Let us not manipulate the sacredness of God's word, but treat it as holy and sacred. Lord God, may our treatment of Your word demonstrate a caring and respectful attitude toward its contents at all times. Help us to cherish it, share it properly, and exalt You through our application of it to our lives. Amen.

It's the original end of "The Matrix" trilogy as we take a look at the very noisy "The Matrix Revolutions"! We've got a big CG battle loaded with characters we don't care about, we've got another visit with the Merovingian, and we've got a new Oracle (did you notice?!). Sense has largely left the building in this messy, loud, and frankly perplexing finale. Also this week: who's who in Zion, unsubtle imagery, and the answer is always hubris.

The Pencil Pushers podcast interviews stop-motion animator/director Justin Rasch, who has worked for 30 years across games, TV, and film, including ParaNorman, Kubo and the Two Strings, and Guillermo del Toro's Oscar-winning Pinocchio, and now directs/writes/supervises at Stump Puppet Pictures while sharing process online. Rasch recounts growing up in Florida inspired by comics, classic cartoons, Secret of NIMH, and practical effects artists, studying 2D and effects at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, then switching to CG after Jurassic Park. He describes breaking in by portfolio-hunting in 1990s LA, choosing Konami, and later leading animation at Luxoflux on projects like Shrek and True Crime: Streets of LA. Rasch explains how animation principles transfer across 2D/CG/stop motion, details his stop-motion workflow (blocking, shooting on twos, then final on ones), discusses why stop motion is hard to "control," and reflects on AI, audience interest in process, and working with Travis Knight and del Toro. He shares where to find him on Instagram and YouTube.

Wednesday, 17 June 2026 Now as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Him. Matthew 20:29 “And they, proceeding from Jericho, it followed Him, ‘crowd, great'.” (CG) In the previous verse, Jesus explained that He did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. The narrative continues, saying, “And they, proceeding from Jericho.” This is the first mention of Hiericho, Jericho, in the New Testament. Depending on the root of the name, it has two possible meanings: Place of Fragrance or Place of the Moon. The account says that they, meaning Jesus and the disciples, were proceeding from Jericho. This has caused a great deal of difficulty based on the words of Luke 18, where it says, “He was coming near Jericho” when the account occurred. This should not be a problem. The accounts can be reconciled by understanding the full picture. Jesus is nearing Jericho (Luke 18:35). A blind man sat by the road begging. As Jesus approached, he heard the multitude. It does not say where he is, just that he heard the multitude as they were passing (meaning him) by (Luke 18:26). He asked what was going on and heard it was Jesus who was coming. He starts to cry out, having no idea where Jesus is, just that He is coming. People tell him to be quiet. It then happens that as Jesus and His disciples are on their way out of Jericho, the multitude followed Him (Matthew 20:29). It is at this time that Jesus will heal the blind. This is why it says in Luke 19:1, “And having entered, He traversed the ‘Jericho'” (CG). The assumption people make from Luke's account is that the blind were on the entrance side of Jericho. But that is only an assumption. Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. The blind would have heard the commotion from the very beginning of the ruckus as the entire city went out to see Jesus. The perspectives are given by each gospel writer: Luke says He was coming near Jericho. Mark says they came to Jericho. Matthew says they were proceeding from Jericho. Luke records the beginning of the encounter as Jesus approached Jericho: the blind man heard the crowd and began crying out. Matthew and Mark record the point at which the healing is associated with Jesus' departure from Jericho. Whether the cry began on the approach and culminated near the departure, or whether the locality of Jericho is being described from different sides of the city/region, the accounts need not contradict. Luke 19:1 confirms that Jesus entered and passed through Jericho in connection with the same movement, so the event belongs to the whole Jericho passage, not necessarily to a single frozen instant at one gate. When Jesus got to the other side of Jericho as He passed through, He would have come to where the blind man was (while exiting the city), and the two parties would have finally met. It is Luke 19:1 that solves this otherwise difficult and wholly misunderstood situation. Since the beginning, excuses have been made to justify the event. To read some of them, go to the Pulpit Commentary on Matthew 20:29. The problem is that at times, the gospels present information categorically rather than chronologically. However, it is evident throughout the gospels that this is not the case. Unless something is described with a time marker, there is no reason to assume the information is chronological instead of categorical. We tend to assume that everything happened all at once when reading the accounts, but the man is blind. He would not have gotten up and gone to the other side of Jericho. He would have sat and called out, hoping someone would assist him. But the accounts all say otherwise, saying to him that he should be quiet. As such, “he cried out all the more” (Luke 18:39 et al.). To “hear” and to “be present with” are not the same things for a blind person as they are for the seeing. The people would have flocked to Jesus as He entered. The blind would have sat in misery-filled anticipation until Jesus finally exited. Understanding this “supposed” discrepancy, it next says, “it followed Him, ‘crowd, great'.” This would include those who travelled with Jesus, those who met up with Him on His nearing Jericho, and those who were in Jericho who flocked to Him. Life application: There are other supposed contradictions in Jesus' movements as He traveled from the Galilee to and through Jericho. Some were mentioned in earlier commentaries. There are also supposed contradictions in the account of the healing that will take place. These are not contradictions. However, when coming to the narratives found in Scripture, we have to insert ourselves into the surrounding events. After giving several options to resolve the matter discussed above, options which span nineteen hundred years of scholarly study, the Pulpit Commentary sadly says, “Inspiration extends not to petty circumstances, and the credibility of the gospel depends not on the rectification of such minutiae.” That is a cheap and inexcusable way of handling God's “inspiration.” If God inspired the word, then there will be a resolution to the matter. God deals in minutiae. He created the universe, and yet a single atom will not be out of place. He set forth His plan of salvation, and not a single saved person will be forgotten by Him. If God weren't in the details, the whole universe would collapse in on itself. By placing ourselves in the narrative and seeing it (at least in a non-visual way) as the blind saw it, there is no contradiction at all. If Luke 19:1 didn't exist, the matter would be more difficult to reconcile. Despite this, if Luke 19:1 were not included, we could make our own assumptions, knowing that God had a reason for saying things the way He did. Unfortunately, without having the right information, errors will naturally seem to arise. The NKJV does not say “And” in Luke 19:1. It says, “Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.” That would cause a real contradiction. But the Greek kai (and), not tote (then), is used. It is simply a statement of fact that Jesus entered and passed through without regard to time. Commentaries will also muddy the waters. Benson says, “Jesus entered and passed through Jericho — Namely, after performing the miracle recorded at the close of the preceding chapter.” This is an assumption (as noted above) that the account of the events is chronological rather than categorical. The thought Benson presents is that Jesus was entering Jericho, He healed the blind, and then proceeded through Jericho. But taking Matthew, Mark, and Luke together, along with considering Luke 19:1, there is no discrepancy. Regardless of the fumbling of fallible man, God's word will be vindicated. Be careful not to assume that a commentary (even this one) is correct until you have fully thought through what is being said. If you still cannot come to a resolution on the matter, you can still have faith that God is in the details. All will be made clear someday. If this is true with His word, it is true with you as well. He is there with you as you struggle through life. Trust that it is so. Keep your eyes, heart, and affections on Him. You will be rewarded for your faith on that day when you stand before Him. Lord God, thank You that we possess a sure word about what You are doing to bring us back to Yourself. Thank You that Jesus is in the details, and that we are on the right and proper path back to You. Help us to walk in faith each step of the way. To Your glory, we pray. Amen.
