Podcasts about chrisma

On this episode we dive deep into the musical history of one of Italy's most fascinating and forward-thinking bands - Krisma (or Chrisma as they were originally known). This husband and wife duo from Milan created music that was light years ahead of its time, with their 1977 album "Chinese Restaurant" laying the groundwork for sounds that wouldn't become mainstream until decades later. We explore how this band went from Italian pop stardom to experimental post-punk pioneers, working with the likes of Hans Zimmer and Vangelis along the way. We chat about their various musical reinventions, that time Maurizio allegedly cut his finger off on stage (or did he?), and how their track "Miami" sounds remarkably like Radiohead's Kid A... except it was released 23 years earlier! From performing with The Beatles to mingling in Andy Warhol's circle, Krisma's story is as fascinating as their music is innovative. So grab a cuppa, settle in, and let us introduce you to your new favourite obscure band.

Mabuting Balita l Mayo 19, 2024 Linggo ng Pentekostes Ebanghelyo: Juan 20,19-23 Agaw-dilim na noon sa unang araw na iyon ng sanlinggo at nakasara ang mga pinto sa kinaroroonan ng mga alagad dahil sa takot sa mga Judio, dumating si Hesus at pumagitna. At sinabi niya sa kanila: “Sumainyo ang Kapayapaan!” Pagkasabi nito, ipinakita niya sa kanila ang mga kamay at ang tagiliran. Kaya nagalak ang mga alagad pagkakita nila sa Panginoon. At muli niyang sinabi sa kanila: “Sumainyo ang Kapayapaan!” Gaya ng pag kakasugo sa akin ng Ama, Gayon ko rn kayo ipadadala.” At pagkasabi nito, hiningahan niya sila at sinabi: “Tanggapin ang Espiritu Santo! Patatawarin ang mga kasalanan ninuman na inyong patawarin; at pananatiliin naman sa sinuman ang inyong panatiliin.”       Pagninilay: Isang araw may batang lumapit sa akin at nagtanong. “Sir, ano po ang kulay ng Holy Spirit?” Nagulat ako sa kanyang tanong. Naisip ko na sabihing pula, pero nahamon ako na pagnilayan: May kulay nga ba ang Espiritu Santo? Kung mayroon, ano kaya ito? Isang mapagpalang araw ng linggo mga kapanalig. Sa araw na ito ginugunita natin ang Dakilang kapistahan ng Pentekostes, ang pagdating ng Espiritu Santo sa mga apostol, at araw rin ng kapanganakan ng ating simbahan. Bagama't sa simula pa lamang ng binyag tinanggap na natin ang Espiritu Santo, mas pinagtitibay sa kumpil o Confirmation ang tinanggap na nating Banal na Espiritu. Tinatawag din siyang Parakletos, ang tagapagbigay-lakas, ang Tagapagpabanal, ang hininga ng Diyos (ruah) at ang Pag-ibig sa pagitan ang Ama at Anak. Marami pang mababanggit tungkol sa Espiritu Santo pero walang sinasabing kulay. Kung titingnan sa malikhaing mga mata, ang katapangan at katatagan na mga bunga ng Espiritu Santo ay kulay pula; makikita naman ang Chrisma at Biyaya ng Buhay na kulay luntian o berde; pwede ring kulay puti ng kalinisan o kabanalan, tulad ng kalapati na madalas na larawang ginagamit para sa Espiritu Santo. Mga kapatid/kapanalig, marahil tulad ng liwanag na dumaraan sa isang prism at nagbubunga ng isang buháy na hanay ng iba't ibang kulay, masasabi nating walang iisang kulay ang Espiritu Santo. Higit sa pula o sa puti, higit pa sa bahag-hari. Ang bawat kulay at bawat biyaya na aakma sa taong tumatanggap sa apoy ng espiritu ang magbibigay kulay sa buhay ng mundong ating ginagalawan. Higit sa anupamang kulay, sa ating pagtanggap sa Espiritu Santo, pinag-aalab niya ang marubdob nating adhika na makagawa at makapagbigay-patotoo bilang isang Simbahan na buháy ang ating Panginoong Hesukristo sa ating isip, sa bawat salita, lalo na sa ating mga gawa. Amen.  

Mashach and Chrisma.  Two words, one in Hebrew and the other in Greek;  both mean the same thing, it is the gift God has given mothers.

Audio Transcript:You're listening to audio from Mosaic Boston Church. If you'd like to check out more resources, learn about Mosaic Boston and our neighborhood churches, or donate to this ministry, please visit mosaicboston.com.Heavenly father, we thank you that you are a God who came down. You did not leave us in our sin, you did not leave us in our fall, you didn't leave us in our darkness, but you sent your son, Jesus Christ who came through the incarnation. Jesus, fully God, fully man. You came and the eternal broke into the temporal, the infinite broke into the finite and Lord you came to save us because there's nothing that we can do to save ourself and we thank you that salvation, true salvation monergistic.You're the one who starts our salvation, you're the one who sustains our salvation, you're the one who ultimately secures our salvation. We thank you that you do that by the power of the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, we thank you for anointing us for those of us who are Christians. And for those who are not, I pray today, Lord, regenerate hearts, turn on the lights, anoint and separate those who are in darkness and transfer them to kingdom of your beloved son.And Lord, show us that along with the truth, along with the salvation that God, you create, sane comes and offers us a counterfeit that's often so tempting, but it's false. And I pray that you make us a people who are discerning, who have a critical mind, who have skepticism when it comes to figuring out if something's true, if something is not. And I pray that you strengthen our trust and faith in the ultimate authority, which is the Holy scriptures, which are self-authenticating along with the Holy Spirit.I pray, bless our time in the Holy scriptures and I pray all this in Jesus name. Amen. Fake news. You've heard that term bantered around in the last few years, probably a lot more than in the past. And it has to do with spin, it has to do with pushing a narrative or an agenda from the different media outlets. So we as discerning people, we've learned to develop a critical mindset. We've learned to check the sources, we've learned to examine evidence and see who else is reporting the story, look for images or videos that are doctored.We know that not everybody is just giving us straight truth, it always comes from their particular perspective. If that is true with information about politics, information about the economy, information about what's going on in the world, it's even more true when it comes to spiritual reality, spiritual information. And that's why the apostle John writes this epistle to these young Christians.He calls them children. As a father in the faith, he writes to them and he gives them this epistle, this incredible letter inspired by the Holy Spirit so they know that they know the truth. So that they know that they have eternal life. We're in the series that we're calling Meno, M-E-N... In the Greek, it looks like a V, but that's an N. And the W is an O sound, Meno. It means to abide, to remain, to be connected to, and it has to do with our relationship with God.That if you are a Christian, you abide in Christ, you abide in the Holy Spirit, you abide in the scripture, you abide in the church. And John is writing this letter today, in our text today where we're in particularly talking about the topic of the antichrist. The topic of the antichrists, plural as well. And when we hear the word, perhaps you've heard it, if you've grown up in the church and even if you haven't, you probably heard about this shadowy figure that's coming.Many of us that think it's a political figure or someone who wields all kinds of influence and what John wants us to know is that the antichrist isn't just a person of physical power or a person of political power, it's a person of ideological power. And he comes and the power is found in the ideas, ideas have consequences, spiritual ideas have consequences. And what the antichrist ultimately does and what the antichrist today do is present a false gospel.God creates the gospel, the good news, Satan counterfeits that gospel and makes it pretty good news, mediocre news, an okay news, spiritual fake news. And the consequences of believing the spiritual fake news is significantly higher than just misinformation. The stakes are so much higher than just being misinformed or misinformation. The stakes are condemnation or eternal damnation. Our eternal souls are at stake and the enemy is an enemy of our soul, is like a roaring lion seeking to devour those who are with Christ, seeking to devour those who want to know about Christ, saying praise on the praying.That's what first John is all about. We must develop biblical discernment, we must remain vigilant. So today we are in first John chapter two verses 18 through 27, would you look at the text with me? Children, it is the last hour and as you have heard, the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore, we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us.But they went out that it might become plain that they all are not of us. But you have been anointed by the Holy one and you all have knowledge. I write to you not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it and because no lie is of the truth. Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ, this is the antichrist he who denies the father and the son. No one who denies the son has the father, whoever confesses of the son has the father also.Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you if what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you two will abide in the son and in the father. And this is the promise that he made to us, eternal life. I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you for the anointing that you have received from him abides in you. And you have no need that anyone should teach you, but as his anointing teaches you about everything and is true and is no lie just as he has taught you, abide in him.This is the reading of God's Holy and narrative fallible, authoritative word may write these eternal truths upon our hearts. The title of the sermon is also the first point of our three points, which are: beware the lies of the antichrist, confess the truth of the Holy one and abide in spirit, scripture and church. First, beware the lies of the antichrist. In verse 18 he addresses them as children. He's a spiritual father.He loves them and he longs the best for them so he teaches them the truth. He says it is the last hour. And that's an interesting phrase that a lot of people misinterpret. The phrase, the last hour, talks about a span of time from Jesus's first coming to a second coming from the ascension of Jesus going up to heaven sit at the right throne of God, the father to intercede for our sins to the return. And he is coming back. Since John has written these words, 2000 years have elapsed. So what does it mean the last time?Well, from God's perspective, there is no time. From God's perspective, one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day. Why doesn't Jesus come sooner? Well, the reason why and the apostle Peter says that God is patient, that God is loving, that God wishes all to repent. If he comes now, those who have not repented, have not accepted God's free gift of grace, at that moment and when he comes, now he comes not as a savior, but as Lord and as judge.So God is waiting for everyone to repent of those who are called to repent. And the apostle Peter tells us that the day of the Lord will come and it'll come abruptly like a thief in the night, and the heavens will pass away with a roar. No one knows when this period will come, but he tells us that the last hour is here in order to instill in us a sense of urgency that Jesus may come at any single moment. A lot of people say, "You know what? I'll go to church later on after I have some fun in my life. I'll go to church when I have kids, and then I'll bring them up in the faith," and et cetera, et cetera.What if Jesus comes today? What if you die today? There's no guarantee. Not one of us is guaranteed tomorrow. So Jesus says in Mark 13:33, "Be on guard, keep awake for you do not know when the time will come." And he says, "We know it is the last hour." He says, why? Because the antichrist is coming and the antichrist have already come. So first of all, he is the only apostle who uses the term antichrist. He uses it five times in this epistle, once in second John.And this refers to the figure that is coming, the figure who will be used by Satan in the end times. Daniel seven talks about this person, the antichrist as the horn. Revelation 13 talks about the beast and second Thessalonians to Saint Paul says, this is the man of lawlessness. The coming of the lawless one is by activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders. Who is this evil future leader?Many Christians throughout church history have pointed to specific people and said, "That's the one." Christians in the first century said, "Nero. Clearly it's Nero." Other Christians during the reformation, Calvin and Luther would point to the popes. Clearly it's the popes. Other times they would point to political figures, Hitler for obvious reasons. Some people said Obama, some people say Trump, some people say Putin, whoever. Some people said Mikhail Gorbachev because he had a birthmark on his forehead. Clearly the mark of the beast. Who knows? We know. We have no idea.John isn't talking about the physical qualifications, the physical characteristics of the antichrist. What he wants us is to develop a sixth sense, spiritually speaking, for what the lies of the evil one will sound like. He wants us to know that the antichrist will come with ideas that are anti Christ, not just antichrist. And the word here for antichrist in the Greek, that prefix means in opposition to. So the one who will come will come opposed to Christ but also means instead of, and that's what John wants to focus on.He wants to focus on the antichrist who have come now and they're presenting a different Christ, and they're antichrist because they're presenting a Christ instead of the true one. And this is the main surprise of the text. That these antichrist have come from within the church, not from outside. They're not political figures, they're not economical figures. They're coming from within their spiritual figures, perhaps pastors or elders.Saint Paul warned the church in Ephesians verse 30, from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things to draw away the disciples after them. These are people who present a gospel that sounds mostly true. And the most insidious lies are mostly true, there's just a little that's off. And that's exactly what they're doing. We have a deeper secret, we have a deeper knowledge. We have a special anointing follow us, and they appeal not to the scriptures, not to the apostles, not to the historic Orthodox faith. They appeal to themselves, to something subjective.And the surprise here is that Satan operates in the realm of religion and spirituality. Second Corinthians 11:14 to 15, and no wonder for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, their end will correspond to their deeds. So the apostle wants Christians to develop the sense where they know that's the sermon, where they know what's true and what's false and be able to say, "That's true, that's false."And we as Christians, we need to dwell this ability and be able to say it, have the strength and courage, the audacity to say it. Mormonism is not true, Jehovah's Witness, not true. Unitarian Universalism, not true. Islam, not true. Judaism, not true. And I know how that sounds because I've heard done in the first service, I understand the unease that we feel. Why do we feel that unease? The apostle of love looks at the false teachers and says they're liars. They're anti-Christ.The apostle of love that seems so unloving, he says, "No, what's unloving is actually calling darkness light and a lie the truth." That's what's unloving. And it says in first John 2:21, I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it. You know this truth. He's not writing to inform them of the truth. He's writing to confirm them in the truth. You know and the truth is self authenticating. The Holy Spirit within you confirms that this is true.Verse 26, I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. And this is how the enemy works, sows confusion. So here we need to pause and say which theological issues are you talking about John? Which theological issues are so clearly essential that schism is preferred to compromise? What are the close hand issues we're not budging here, and what are the open hand issues?When it comes to the methods of gospel dissemination, when it comes to the method of music, when it comes to the method of how we do church, we can budge there. We can contextualize when it comes to the message, John says the message of who is Jesus Christ that cannot change? Augustan said, inessentials' unity and non-essentials' liberty in all things love. I love that quote. But what are the essentials? And John would say, "Well, who is Jesus?" What did these teachers say about Christ?And he says, "They deny the son. They deny that he's the Christ, that he is the Messiah, that he's fully God, fully man, that he came, lived the perfect life, but he died a death that we deserve. And on the cross through his atoning death, through his propitiation, we have access into the presence of God. He died, he was buried, and then he was resurrected on the third day." Who was Jesus? What did he come to do? What did he teach? And if you deny that, he says that is antichrist. That's a false Christ.And in our culture, and part of the reason why we have such a hard time of calling the truth the truth and calling a lie a lie when it comes to spirituality is because spirituality has been relegated to the realm of preference and feeling. If I feel that a spiritual truth is true, then it's true. So we put on our glasses, our goggles of feelings, and we interpret facts or reality through our feelings. And Saint John says that's not how it works.When we talk about spiritual truth, he says you know the truth. It's an absolute truth. We need to put on the goggles of this truth and then interpret reality through that. You can sincerely believe something about God and you can be sincerely wrong and it has real consequences. This has to do with reality just like gravity is part of reality, just like laws are part of the earth. You can sincerely believe that you don't have to pay taxes because you're a libertarian. You can be sincerely wrong and sincerely spend time in prison.You can get on route 90 and think you're going East, but you're actually going West and you go through all the tolls you end up in Albany, New York and all of a sudden you're sincerely wrong, you're going to turn around and the whole trip is going to cost you over $50 because we live in Taxachusetts. You're sincerely wrong. One of my daughters, she shall remain nameless. Yesterday when it was snowing, my wife and all my daughters, we have four daughters, so it's hard to watch all of them.And they went outside and one of my daughters decided it's a good idea because she saw this in the cartoon to... she walks up with a fire hydrant and she sticks her tongue on it. And my other daughter saw that and she's like, "You're just joking around." She runs up to her and tackles her tongue. The top layer gone, blood everywhere. And I was like, "Why did you do that?" She said, "I saw that in a cartoon and I was experimenting to see if it were true." It's like, "Why not just ask me? I'll teach you in the ways of the truth of sticking your tongue on metal objects when it's cold."There's consequences to folly, there's consequences to breaking spiritual realities. And that's why John is so categorical, it's clear cut. He's making these incredible statements that are so countered to our culture because we've been brainwashed with relativism and pluralism. John's saying theology, if you get it wrong about the person of God, it's not just defective, it's diabolical.And what these antichrist came teaching, they said, "We have this new knowledge from God and we have the special anointing from God. And what God taught us is that Jesus was not God. Jesus was a human born as a human, died as a human, and there was some kind of spiritual, godly, divine emanation upon him for a little while during his ministry and then he was gone." And the reason why they pushed this narrative is because they couldn't believe that God cares about what we do with our bodies, about the physical realm.So let's just focus on the spiritual realm. I'll pray, I'll sing to God, I'll read the scriptures. I'm going to live my physical life any way I want. I'll do whatever I want with my physical time, with my physical body, with my sexuality, with my finances, with my job, with my relationships, that has nothing to do with my faith. And that right there, that is a tempting, tempting worldview. And by the way he writes this.If the apostle John showed up in Boston, Massachusetts today in 2020, over 90% of the churches in Boston he would go into and say, "These churches are run by antichrist. Not just an opposition of Christ, you're presenting a false Christ. It's a different Christ." Was he fully God? Was he fully man? Did he come as Lord, telling us what to do, not just with our spirits and our souls, but also with our bodies?And as soon as you begin to redefine who Christ was, you begin to redefine the God had, now there is no Trinity. Now what Christ did on the cross wasn't just die for our sins, bearing the wrath of God to save us from eternal damnation, a place called hell, now Jesus just came to show us what love is, to show us how to live our lives, to teach us morality. As soon as you redefine who Jesus is, you invariably redefine what Jesus did and you change everything. You alter reality.So at the heart of what John is saying is what do these teachers teach about Christ? And that's what we need to say. What are they appealing to? Are they appealing to the scriptures? Are they appealing to subjective philosophy, subjective experience? Point two is confess the truth of the Holy one. That's the way we beware. That's why we stay away. Our vigilant against counterfeit gospels as we stay true to the created gossip, God's gospel.And he used the word anointing here in verse 20, 21, 26, 27, I'll read those, but he used the word anointed, which is an interesting word. In the Greek it's chrisma. Remember that as C-H-R-I-S, chrisma, anointing. And if you come from some denominations in Christianity, like Baptist church or Presbyterian churches, you probably never heard about anointing. You're like, "No. Anointing, that's strange."If you come from other denominations like Pentecostal denominations or Charismatic denomination, they talk about anointing all the time. Every single day, you're being anointed, this anointing and that anointing. This might be new to you. The apostle talks about anointing. Well, what does he say about it? In verse 20 he says, but you have been anointed by the Holy one. You all have knowledge. I write to you not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it and because no lie is of the truth. That's an interesting connection.Christians had been anointed by the Holy one and that leads to truth, knowledge of the truth, confirmation in the truth. Verse 26, I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you, but the anointing that you received from him abides in you and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything and is true and is no lie and just as he has taught you, abide in him. Same connection.Holy one, anoints and you know the truth. You're confirmed in the truth. What is this language of anointing? It comes from the old Testament where fine olive oil was rubbed, poured from a horn or vessel upon a thing or a person that was separated by God for special work. You're separated with this anointing. So the most common reference is that of kings, kings were anointed. Saul was anointed, King David is anointed, Solomon was anointed. The high priest was anointed.Aaron and his sons were anointed, the prophets were anointed. Sometimes objects were anointed like Jacob anoints a pillar in Genesis 28. And the word is Chrisma. It's the same root word that's used in Christos, Jesus Christ. What does that mean? A lot of people think that Jesus is his first name, Christ is his last name. My daughter asked me recently, "What was Joseph's and Mary's last name?" I said, "Christ," and she's like, "That makes sense." I was like, "No. Bad theology."That's what a lot of people think. Christos is a title for Messiah, and what Messiah means in the Hebrew is the anointed one. Jesus Christ is Jesus the anointed one. Was he anointed with olive oil? No. He was anointed by the Holy Spirit. In Luke he says, the spirit of the Lord has come upon me and because he has anointed me... In Acts the apostle say, God anointed Jesus Christ of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Hebrew says that God anointed you with the oil of gladness talking about the Holy Spirit.So when he says that you Christians have been anointed with the Holy one, you've been anointed with the Holy Spirit, in the same way that Jesus Christ was anointed by the Holy Spirit. In second Corinthians 1:21 through 22, and it is God who establishes us with you and Christ and has anointed us, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. Why are you telling me all this?Because the false teachers came in and they said, "Stop listening to the apostles. We've got a special word. We got a word from God." How do we know you have a word from God? Because I am anointed. How do we know that you're anointed? Just listen to me. Don't read that book, listen to this book. Does this happen today? Yeah, all the time. There's plenty of false teachers out there, and I can give you names who espoused false gospels.They have nothing to do with the true gospel of Jesus Christ, and then when people ask, "How do we know this is true?" I've been anointed. I've been anointed to preach this gospel, to espouse this gospel. So we as Christians, we need to be discerning. Okay, what are you appealing to by anointing? Now we've all been anointed. That's what John is saying. Every single Christian has been anointed by the Holy Spirit. We are Christoi, Jesus is Christus.He's the anointed one, and we are anointed ones. The antichrist comes and he opposes the anointed one. The antichrists, plural, come and they oppose the anointed ones, us. And it has to do with seeing Christ for whom he is. You're anointed by the Holy Spirit to see and know the truth. There's a story about a blind man, a person who was blind, born blind, and Jesus heals him in the gospel of John chapter nine. And it says that Jesus anointed him, and now he saw.And Revelation talks about spiritual anointing, that Jesus comes, anoints our eyes with the spiritual balm, and now we see true spiritual reality. So how do you know you've been anointed? John says, "You know that Jesus Christ is the son of God. Fully God, fully man. You believe that he has come in the flesh. You believe in what he taught, you believe that he died for your sins, was buried and rose for your forgiveness."How do you know that's true? Because of the anointing. How do you know you've been anointed? Because you know it's true. This is the miracle of salvation. The miracle of salvation is that God comes down to save. John focuses on this, focuses on the gospel and he says, "This is what Satan wants to attack because this is the sum of the gospel. Who is Jesus? What did he come? God came to save. Jesus came to save. The son of man came to save and seek that which is lost."And by the way, I don't know if you have ever thought about this. Why on all of our materials do we say that our values at the church are loved? Jesus, simple. Why don't we say love God, simple? Why don't we say love Trinity simple? We say love Jesus, simple. Because this right here is the test of true Christianity. If you move away from Boston and you're like, "I'm looking for a church," what does that church believe about Jesus Christ?If you remove the truth about Jesus Christ, you talk about God in general, creator in general, the blesser in general, you get something that's far removed from Christianity. So John says, this is the sum. This is the total. This is what separates Christianity from everything else, from every other religion. Every other religion is our attempt to get to God, Islam and Buddhism and Judaism, all of them. This is what we do to get to God.Christianity comes and says, "You can't do anything until you get the God. Only God can save us. God comes down." I had a roommate in college who was Jewish and we lived together for three years actually. So he kind of practiced. So he identified as not Jewish but Jew-ish. So there'll be some things that he would do, not other things. But one of the things that he was kind of pretty good at was eating kosher. And that's how he grew up eating.He was kosher all the time, except for when we order pepperoni pizza. All of a sudden his kosher laws were out the window and kosher laws don't allow you to eat meat and dairy products. So pepperoni pizza, that's a big no-no. So he would devour his pepperoni pizza. And I was like, "Hey man, how do you reconcile this with your beliefs about kosher eating?" And he's like, "I don't think God's a stickler for the details." Much to be said there.But there is hundreds of laws, are incredibly detailed. Unlike all the other kosher laws, I think he cares about the details. If you study biology, if you study the atom, if you study a cell, if you study DNA, there's detail, God is in the D... And I think that's the way a lot of people approach God. It's like, "I'm going to try really hard and then God's going to give me this fudge factor and get me into heaven and I'm good." Christianity says no.And by the way, I totally, totally relate and sympathize with the slackers, the spiritual slackers. In every single one of us, we have a spiritual slacker streak where it's like, "You know what? I'll be good this day. Today I'm going to take it out." And Christianity says, "You know why? Because we are not good. We are not basically good. There is a sinful nature to every single one of us. We can't do anything to reach God."Christopher Hitchens said, if God wanted man to live up to his standards, "he should have taken more care to invent a different species." I think that's how... How can God demand this from me? Love God with all my heart, soul, strength, mind, love my neighbor as myself, perfection, righteousness. How can God demand that from me when I can't do it in and of myself? Well, if you start wrestling with that question, you begin to understand the bad news.The bad news is that we are sinners, that we cannot save ourselves. There's nothing that we can do to make ourselves righteous with God. We are helpless, we're spiritually bankrupt, morally bankrupt and we need the Holy Spirit to save us. We need God to save us. And this is what Christianity comes in and says, it doesn't matter how hard you try, you can't reach God. And even if you're Holy today, and righteous today, that's not enough to atone for past sins. So God had to become a man. God had to come down. God had to come to save us.And Jesus Christ came and he paid a debt that he did not owe because we owe a debt that we cannot pay. Jesus came to pay a debt that he did not owe because we owe a debt that we cannot pay and that's the debt of our sin. So Jesus comes, he pays it all and he offers us grace. C.S. Lewis said, Christ offers us something for nothing. He even offers everything for nothing. In a sense, the whole Christian life consisting accepting that very remarkable offer.If you're not a Christian, what is keeping you from accepting forgiveness? What is keeping you today from accepting God's grace? Give him your sin, your guilt, your shame, and accept his grace. It's the only thing that can save us. And this is why John is so adamant about this. We can't budge on the gospel. By the way, this confession changes everything. It changes the way that we live our lives and it changes the way that we view death.If you believe that Jesus Christ came and he lived and he died and he rose from the dead, if you really believe that Jesus Christ in his body, in his work defeated death, and the death of Christ was a death of death. If you believe it, it changes your perspective on death, the thing that haunts every single one of us. And I don't know if you think about death, you should. And we're not guaranteed another day. And this is the spirit of this text, he says, "We live in the last hour."My wife and I, we talk about death actually pretty often because she's Ukrainian and there's a negative streak, like a dark... And she's like, "Are you afraid of death?" And we have this conversation. Honestly, the only thing when I think about death, the only thing I'm worried, I'd hate to leave. I'd hate to die before her, I'd hate to not see my daughters grow up and see there... I'd hate that part. But I know in my heart of hearts that the very moment I die, I don't die, I just pass from this life to the next.And it absolutely changes the way that you live your life. I'll just give you one example, and this is true example by a guy named Jeff Struecker. He wrote this book called “Road to Unafraid,” and the movie Black Hawk Down is based on his life. And he's a believer and he was sent to Somalia. And in Somalia this guy comes to power named Mohamed Farrah Aidid. And he starts killing UN workers sent into Somalia to provide food for the starving population during the famine. And as he's killing those rangers are sent in to seize him, to arrest him.And as the helicopters come in over his base, one of the soldiers who's repelling down, he slips on the rope and he falls 70 feet and the helicopter is getting shot at, so they fly away. And so this guy, Jeff Struecker is commanded to go in and save the soldier who fell. They go in and they're being shot at and they were ambushed and they finally get the guy, they bring them out, there's one casualty. And as they were leaving, the helicopters got shot down.So he comes back to base and that base is told, "You got to go back again." And at that moment he says this, this is where he writes. He says, "God, I'm going to die tonight. That's what I thought." He said, "I didn't know what to do or say. And I did what many Christians do in this situation. I prayed to God. God saved me. I need your help. I'm in over my head." And then he said, "I pictured Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane praying, Lord, let this cup pass from me."And then he says, "Then I remembered what Jesus said next. Not my will, but yours be done." And he says, "At that moment I realized something I had known since I'd become a Christian, as a Christian, no matter what happens to me in this life, if I live or die, I'm firmly in God's hands. My wife Donna just written to tell me that she was pregnant. I thought I'd never see her again or hold my child. If by some miracle of God I survived the situation, I would go home to my family. And as a Christian I also knew if I died, I'd go home to heaven and be with my savior.So no matter what, no matter what happens to me tonight, I'm going home. I'm going to be safe, I thought." In the face of death, I don't know if you've ever been a situation in the face of death. This is where if you don't have a true foundation anchor for your soul, what do you do? And this is what John says. I want you to know that you have eternal life. I want you to know, and this is the first John 2:25, this is the promise that he made to us, eternal life.It's promised. You don't earn it, he gives it to you. You just need to accept it. So Struecker goes back and he saves half of the troops and then they drive back and he goes the third time, packs 15 soldiers in the Humvee and comes back and live to write about it. So this is the gospel of Jesus Christ. The true son of God came, he died for our sin, he rose on the third day and the forgiveness, the grace of God, his righteousness is imputed to you, given to you. You just need to accept it.Point three is abide in the spirit, scripture, and church. So once you accept it, how do you protect yourself, guard yourself from believing the lies, from being pulled away by the evil one? Where there are three safeguards that he gives us in this text, the Holy Spirit, the Holy scriptures and the Holy church. First John 2:27 talks about the spirit, but the anointing that you received from him, from the spirit, abides in you. And you have no need that anyone should teach you, but as his anointing teaches you about everything and is true and is no lie, just as he has taught you, abide in him.He says, God has given you everything you need to know. He's not saying you don't need teachers, you don't need the scriptures. You don't need to study theology because that would defeat the purpose and contradict the purpose of this letter that would contradict Saint Paul who said that God sends teachers and pastors to equip the saints for the work of the ministry grow in maturity. What he's saying is you know the truth.If you've been anointed by the Holy Spirit, you know the truth because you know the voice of God. You've heard the voice of God. You know the voice of the good shepherd. There's a self authenticating power. You know truth because the Holy Spirit in you confirms that truth. First Thessalonians 2:13 puts it like this, and we also thank God constantly for this, that when you receive the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of man, but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in the believers.So we don't need a special elite class of clergy or those who are specially anointed to know what's truth about the essential oils in the scripture, about the essentials of the gospel. Obviously we are to study the scriptures and study theology and have a good study Bible and we recommend the ESV study Bible and commentaries, things like that. But Jesus promised, I will send you the spirit and he will teach you all things. So the safeguard of the Holy Spirit, safeguard of the scriptures.First John 2:24, let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you then you too will abide in the son and in the father. What you heard from the beginning, from whom? From the apostles. This is the gospel. The apostles were eyewitnesses. This is the primary documents about Christianity. Saint Paul had a personal encounter with Jesus Christ, saw the risen Christ and received the gospel from him. So God gives us the scriptures to confirm teaching.So when you hear teaching about Christianity, teaching about the faith, check with the scripture. John's not just writing to the pastors of the church, he's writing to Christians. Every Christian has the responsibility to confirm is what the teacher at church preaching, teaching, is it true? Is it in the scriptures? Is he appealing to the scriptures or is he appealing to some speculative, subjective philosophy?And the beauty of the Holy scriptures is the Bible is the only book that you can read and you always have access to the author, always. You read and you say, "God, what did you mean? God, please elucidate, please illuminate." And it's important to have the Holy scriptures and the Holy Spirit together. Some churches are all about the Holy scriptures, never talk about the Holy Spirit. Some churches are all about the Holy Spirit, nothing about the Holy scriptures. They're together, Holy Spirit wrote them Holy scriptures. They're together. Don't pit them against one another.So dear Christian, do you know scriptures? Do you love the scriptures? Do you safeguard your faith with the knowledge of the scriptures? My wife and I, we got on the show recently. Not only getting into shows because I have an addictive personality. The show is on the history channel called Alone and we're in season three, so good. And season three they're in Patagonia. So they take these 10 people and they give them a week of training of survival in the wilderness.And you're given 10 objects that you can choose, like how to live in the wilderness, no electronics, nothing mechanic. You can take an ax or a knife, you can take some fishing hooks. And as I'm watching this, like you watched them build shelters and you watched them... As I'm watching I'm like, "I could do that better. I could fish better, I could do that. My shelter would have a door. I'd have a two story shelter. I'd build the tree house." That's number one.Number two, that's not even the worst part. The worst part is that they are lonely. They're by themselves. Most of the people that quit, they quit because they just can't handle the loneliness. And I was like, "I know exactly how I'd take care of that. I would bring the Bible and I would just abide in God's word. I'd just read it all day and talk with the Holy Spirit. I'd just memorize books of the Bible." And I'm talking about all of this as my Bible is laying on the table and I'm like my fourth episode in binge watching the show and you know exactly what I'm talking about.So love the scriptures and then the church. First John 2:19, they went from us, that's the false teachers, because they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. One of the things I want to point out here is when he's talking about us, it's clear. He knows exactly who the us are and it's not just the universal church.This is a particular letter written by a particular apostle to a particular group of Christians, a church. And as they're reading out loud, they know exactly who's us, who's in. So if you are a member of the universal church, you are to be a member of a local church. We talk about this all the time because a lot of Christians do not have an ecclesiology, have not developed an ecclesiology. John says it's clear who the us are.And I also want to point out that if you're a member of a local church, it does not mean that you are a member of the universal church. So a lot of churches have a list of members and many of them don't know the gospel, they're not saved. And this is why we have requirements. We have a whole process, we have a membership class coming up soon if you want to know more about membership. The other thing I want to point out is that if someone calls themselves a Christian and they start off gray, start off strong. That's not what matters.When people tell us that they have received Jesus Christ, that they are now Christians, we rejoice in every profession of faith and then we cautiously wait. Is there fruit? Are they walking in the light? Are they walking in love? Are they growing? And we do everything we possibly can to help them with that. The parable of the sower talks about some people receive the word with joy and then when the spiritual trials come, when difficulties come, the cares of the world to see fullness of riches and those things draw the person away from the Lord.True faith always, always passes the test of time. True believers can't fall away, false believers always do. And if you are a true Christian, you will abide. We don't believe in once saved, always saved. We believe in once saved, always persevering. This is the doctrine of perseverance of the saints that God will preserve in faith those whom he has chosen for salvation. God's love is immutable. When he loves you with a salvific love, a love that saves, he never removes that love.There's no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. John 10:28 and 29, I give them eternal life, says Christ, and they will never perish and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My father who has given them to me is greater than all and no one who was able to snatch them out of the father's hand, not even ourselves. If you are a Christian, you can't even snatch yourself out of the hand of God. God won't let you.And one of the greatest examples of this in church history is a guy named Sheldon Vanauken, and I'll close with this story. He wrote this book called Severe Mercy. Vanauken was a spiritual skeptic who was searching his God truths, Christ's truth. Started reading C.S. Lewis, and he and his new wife, Davy, went from the US to England and C.S. Lewis discipled them. They became believers. On his return to the US, Sheldon's wife, Davy, dies unexpectedly, still a young woman.And so Sheldon now is wrestling with, "Is God loving?" How could a loving God allow this to happen? It seems so cruel. He found Christ and lost his wife in short order and then he decides to leave the faith. And he writes about this in Severe Mercy, he said, "I'm done with this. I can't follow God any more." And this is what happened. He says, "And then I found I could not reject God. I could not. I cannot explain. This one discovers one cannot move a boulder by trying with all one strength to do it. I discovered without any sudden influx of love or faith that I could not reject Christianity. Why? I don't know there it was, I could not." That was an end to it.Salvation comes from God. Jesus saves. We don't start our salvation. We don't sustain our salvation and we don't secure our salvation. God does all of that. Our job is to accept the gift and abide in him and he's the one that gives us strength to do that as well. If you missed any of the points, beware of the lies of the antichrist: confess the truth of the Holy one, abide in spirit and scripture and church. Let's pray.Lord, we thank you for the gospel. We thank you for the Holy scriptures. We thank you Holy Spirit that you are with us today. If anyone is not yet a Christian, I pray today, regenerate them, draw them to yourself, anoint them with the Holy Spirit. And for those of us who are Christians I pray that you help us develop a spiritual discernment, give us a hunger for the Holy scriptures, a love for the Holy Spirit and a love for the Holy church. We pray all this in Christ's name. Amen.

An Weihnachten geht es um das Kommen Gottes als Mensch und um unsere Verbundenheit mit dem Menschgewordenen. Aber was heißt das und wie geht das, mit Jesus Christus verbunden zu sein? Im ersten Johannesbrief finden sich in diesen Tagen verschiedene Begriffe für die Verbundenheit mit Jesus Christus. In der heutigen Lesung ist das die „Salbung“, griechisch „Chrisma“. Die war schon in der Antike Zeichen göttlicher Bevollmächtigung für Könige, Priester und Propheten. Hier verweist sie auf „den Gesalbten“, griechisch „Christos“. Nach christlichem Verständnis ist Jesus der „Christos“, also der Gesalbte Gottes schlechthin. Seine Salbung ist sein Durchdrungensein von der Gegenwart und vom Wesen Gottes. Jesus hat die Salbung nicht nur für sich, sondern für alle, die an ihn glauben. Deshalb werden wir in der Taufe, in der Firmung, in den Heiligen Weihen und in der Krankensalbung gesalbt. Wie unser Leib das Öl aufnimmt, das ihn durchdringt, so nehmen wir das Leben Christi, des Gesalbten, in uns auf, an dem er uns Anteil gibt. Aber es geht hier nicht um ein magisches oder esoterisches Durchdrungensein. Deshalb nennt der Johannesbrief ein weiteres Merkmal der Zugehörigkeit zu Jesus Christus. Wie die Salbung, so soll auch das in uns bleiben, was wir „von Anfang an gehört“ haben. Das Wort Gottes sagt uns, wer und wie Gott ist und wer wir für ihn und füreinander sind und werden können, was gut ist und worum es uns gehen soll. Die Zugehörigkeit zu Jesus in Wort und Salbung spricht unser geistiges und unser leibliches Leben an, das freier und froher wird in der Verbundenheit mit Ihm. Fra' Georg Lengerke

A cantora e compositora fala sobre sua carreira musical e seu terceiro disco solo Paula Toller é mais conhecida por ser a vocalista do Kid Abelha. Mas não só: este ano lançou ser terceiro disco solo, Nosso. Carioca, foi criada pelos avós paternos e durante a infância, e início da adolescência, as músicas que reverberavam pela sua casa eram Bach, Mozart, Chopin, entre outros clássicos. O único rock permitido pelo avô, ex-cirurgião e assessor da presidência da República, era o dos Beatles. Já na faculdade de Desenho Industrial e Comunicação Visual da PUC do Rio de Janeiro, onde ingressou com 17 anos, entrou em contato com outras experiências sonoras. Um pouco de Tim Maia e James Brown, que vinham do quarto do irmão, Stevie Wonder e Marcos Valle que estavam em trilhas de novelas da época, e mais um pouquinho de Janes Joplin, Led Zeppelin e Rita Lee, que rolavam nos “arrastas”, como eram conhecidas as festas da faculdade. Depois de escutar o pessoal da Gang 90 e as Absurdetes cantando “Perdidos na Selva” e das freqüentes visitas aos ensaios da banda Chrisma, formada por alguns amigos, ela resolveu compartilhar suas habilidades vocais com o mundo e ingressou na banda, que logo passaria a se chamar Kid Abelha e Os Abóboras Selvagens. Em 1981 eles faziam seus primeiros ensaios, em 1984 lançavam seu primeiro disco e em 1985 já tocavam em um dos maiores eventos de rock do mundo na época, o Rock in Rio. Depois de 25 anos do primeiro álbum do Kid Abelha, depois de muitas críticas no começo da carreira e de muitos prêmios ao longo da trajetória da banda, o TRIP FM recebeu a cantora e compositora.
