Today, we discuss Trump's proposal to give a $5,000 "baby bonus" to new moms in order to reverse the depopulation crisis. But is this really the best way to address the low fertility rate, or is there a better option? And is the real problem actually the lack of families? Later, we have Phoenix, our Gen Z correspondent, back on to defend matcha lattes and discuss the recent Brian Stelter sighting, where he was barefoot on a train.

Today, we're talking about a little controversy that got stirred up before Easter, started by none other than Christianity Today, which published an article implying that Jesus was not nailed to the cross. Of course, the editor later issued a correction and apologized, but is it too little, too late? And how did such an article even get published in the first place? Later, we sit down with journalist Bill O'Reilly, host of "No Spin News," to talk about the recently declassified JFK files and whether there was anything new in them.

Today, we're discussing the ongoing Supreme Court case Mahmoud v. Taylor, in which SCOTUS will be addressing whether or not parents have the right to opt their children out of curriculum featuring storybooks promoting LGBT ideology. The Maryland school board doesn't want to let parents opt out, but parents say this violates their First Amendment rights. Who will SCOTUS side with? And the state of Colorado is back on our radar, and not in a good way, with four new bills that protect abortion care and "gender-affirming health care" that are currently working their way through the legislature.

Fasting & Feasting: A Deeper Look at Lent with Benjamin Kandt

In this episode, Nate Claiborne and Benjamin Kandt discuss the spiritual practice of fasting, particularly in the context of Lent. They explore the historical and biblical foundations of fasting, explaining how it has traditionally been used as a means of self-denial, preparation, and spiritual discipline. They highlight the connection between fasting and feasting, emphasizing that both are essential parts of Christian life—fasting representing a time of longing and dependence on God, while feasting celebrates the joy and fulfillment found in Him. The conversation also touches on how the Christian calendar has shaped seasons of fasting, particularly leading up to Easter, and how fasting helps Christians resist being controlled by their physical cravings or desires.They also discuss the importance of motivation in fasting, warning against legalism while encouraging listeners to engage in the practice as a way to grow in spiritual freedom. They offer practical suggestions for fasting during Lent, including food-based fasts, social media detoxes, or other forms of self-denial that create space for increased dependence on God. Ultimately, they encourage listeners to approach fasting not just as an act of giving something up but as an opportunity to take hold of more of God and deepen their faith.You can listen to the sermon by Hardy Reynolds here, and last year's sermon from Ben here.

A sermon by Pastor Scott Crowder on the 7th Sunday after Pentecost Easter, Year B in the Christian Calendar and Revised Common Lectionary.  Mark 6:1-13 (NLT) "Jesus left that part of the country and returned with his disciples to Nazareth, his hometown. The next Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. They asked, “Where did he get all this wisdom and the power to perform such miracles?” Then they scoffed, “He's just a carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon. And his sisters live right here among us.” They were deeply offended and refused to believe in him. Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.” And because of their unbelief, he couldn't do any miracles among them except to place his hands on a few sick people and heal them. And he was amazed at their unbelief. Then Jesus went from village to village, teaching the people. And he called his twelve disciples together and began sending them out two by two, giving them authority to cast out evil spirits. He told them to take nothing for their journey except a walking stick—no food, no traveler's bag, no money. He allowed them to wear sandals but not to take a change of clothes. “Wherever you go,” he said, “stay in the same house until you leave town. But if any place refuses to welcome you or listen to you, shake its dust from your feet as you leave to show that you have abandoned those people to their fate.” So the disciples went out, telling everyone they met to repent of their sins and turn to God. And they cast out many demons and healed many sick people, anointing them with olive oil."

The coming May 9 is Ascension Day in the Christian Calendar; the following Sunday, May 12, is considered Ascension Sunday. While such a day is often not recognized in evangelical traditions and particularly in American free church traditions, it is a vital experience that occurred in the life of Christ; thus, it is important for Christians to recognize and understand. One's typical thought could easily minimize the Ascension as if Jesus ascending from the earth into the heavens was nothing more than a fascinating sight to behold; yet, the implications of Jesus' ascension are vast and far-reaching. Why then is the Ascension important? Why should Christians remember it? And what are its implications? I intend to answer these questions with four key ideas. 1. The Ascension is important because it is biblical. 2. The Ascension means that Jesus presently understands his people. 3. The Ascension means that Jesus' resurrection is absolute and inarguable. 4. The Ascension means that God is now human.

SPECIAL GUEST Brother Andre Marie Host of the ReConquest Show aired only on The Crusade Channel. Follow Brother on GAB and Twitter - @Brother_Andre Grant money and big donors -  Church Triumphant Church Suffering  Church Militant Christopher Derrick HEADLINE: In Praise of Triumphalism by Brother Andre Marie  So what's wrong with triumphalism? I suspect that the enemy of triumphalism has a deeper problem, though. Triumphalism presumes there is something to be triumphal about. That would be the immense treasures of our Faith and its attendants: the good, the true, and the beautiful, wherever they are to be found; for these come from the Author of nature, who authored the supernatural order, too. Triumphalism also presumes that there exist evils over which we ought to triumph: the bad, the false, the ugly; sin, death, Satan; and their attendants — namely, whatever in the created order refuses to conform to God's holy will. These ought to be hated, opposed, and combated, while God and all that stands on the side of God ought to be loved. There is no middle position, no compromise: Love of God implies hatred of evil and the will to triumph over it. Lunar Cycle -  HEADLINE: Sanctifying Time as the World Ends by Brother Andre Marie  The Church's traditional liturgy sanctifies our time — the day, the week, the month, the season, the year. What is quite literally mundane and temporal is thus transformed into something heavenly and spiritual, an anticipation of our partaking in God's own eternity. At this time of the Catholic year when we look to the end of time, and also to its beginning again with the first Sunday of Advent next week, I would like to take a quick glance at how four natural divisions in the solar year coincide with four Christian feasts, how the Church dates Easter, how the beginning of the Church's year is determined, and, lastly, how our superior Gregorian calendar came to replace its Julian predecessor. “Praise Ye Him, O Sun and Moon” (Ps. 148:3) The four seasons are traditionally sanctified by the four sets of Ember Days, but there are also four feasts on the sanctoral cycle that touch upon the astronomical events that define those seasons, to wit: the Annunciation, March 25, corresponding roughly with the Vernal Equinox; the Nativity of John the Baptist, June 24, corresponding roughly with the Summer Solstice; the Conception of Saint John the Baptist, September 23, corresponding roughly with the Fall Equinox; and Christmas, December 25, corresponding roughly with the Winter Solstice. There is some variation on the exact dating of these quarterly astronomical events, and there are useful tables online, like this one, which give the dates with astronomical precision. THERE ARE 4 FEASTS  The 24th and last Sunday after Pentecost.  Sanctoral Cycle - Saints Cycle actually begins today! Temporal Cycle -  Vernal (Spring) Equinox: March 20 (Near the Annunciation, March 25) Summer Solstice: June 21 (Near the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist: June 24) Autumnal (Fall) Equinox: September 23 (The exact date of the Conception of Saint John the Baptist: September 23) Winter Solstice: December 21 (Near Christmas: December 25) 4 Feasts that fall on or very near to those 4 astrological events.  First day of Creation -  It comes down to hours and seconds! They had to calculate it, map it, chart it… There is an edifying First Council of Nicaea - defended the date when Easter is but they said Rome will tell the world WHEN Easter is but the Egyptians will tell Rome when the Equinox is.  25th of December HEADLINE: In Defense of Christmas by Brother Andre Marie According to St. John Chrysostom, the foundation for the Nativity occurring on the 25th of December is a strong one. In a Christmas Sermon, he shows that the Western Chruches had, from the very commencement of Christianity, kept the Feast on that day.

All Saints: Blessed are… St. Matthew 5:1-12 & Revelation 7:2-27 by William Klock The Feast of All Saints is one of the oldest holy days on the Christian Calendar.  We have evidence of sermons preached on this occasion going all the way back to the Third Century.  It took a while for our different communions to settle on dates.  The Eastern church still celebrate it on the Sunday after Pentecost, while we celebrate it November 1st.  And the purpose of the day has evolved.  In those early centuries, the church observed All Saints' Day as a way to commemorate and honour the martyrs—the men and women who stood firm and who, when the time came, took up their crosses and followed Jesus.  Just as the enemies of God thought they had silenced Jesus when they crucified him, the enemies of God thought that could silence the gospel witness of those first Christian.  But the opposite happened.  The blood of the martyrs fertilised the soil of the empire and through their witness, the gospel put down deep roots, growing and spreading, eventually bringing even mighty Caesar to his knees before the cross, confessing his faith in Jesus the Messiah.  In the words of our Old Testament lesson from the Wisdom of Solomon, “in the eyes of the foolish they seem to have died” and “in the sight of men they were punished”, but the reality is that their hope was not in vain, “The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will touch them…They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will reign over them forever.”  Apocryphal that text may be, but it highlights the truth of God's kingdom and its conflict with the world.  The kingdom of God seems upside-down, but only because the values of fallen humanity were upside-down already.  It's not an easy thing to follow Jesus and to take up your cross, but the Lord will vindicate his people. And this is just what Jesus is getting at in our Gospel today from Matthew 5.  Blessed are, blessed are, blessed are…nine times Jesus says and each time he connects the blessing with people whose values are right-side up in contrast to the upside-down values of the world.  It's language straight from the Lord's covenant with Israel, going all the way back to Abraham.  Remember how the Lord call Abraham and promised to bless him, but the point wasn't just to bless Abraham.  The point was that Abraham would then be a blessing to the world.  Through Abraham, the Lord would reveal himself to a world that had forgotten him, to a world that would, through his people, see his goodness, his grace, his faithfulness, and one day give him glory.  Through Abraham and his family, the Lord would remind the world that he will not leave it as it is, broken and fallen.  One day he would come himself to set humanity and the rest of his creation to rights, one day he will wipe away sin and death, and with them all the tears.  His people were—and still are—the witnesses of his faithfulness to that promise. Israel mostly failed at that mission.  Instead of glorifying the God of Israel, the nations looked at Israel's faithlessness and mocked her God.  But there were always some—like the people the Gospels start with—people like Mary and Joseph, Zechariah and Elizabeth, Simeon and Anna.  Faithful people, believing people, people with precious little blessing, but still committed to and still longing to see the Lord set this broken world right-side up.  It was to them that Jesus came and it was in their midst that the gospel started doing its work.  And as people like these gathered around him, Jesus exhorted them.  The Lord would not tolerate the faithlessness of Israel for much longer.  The axe was set to the root of the tree.  Judgement was coming.  The long-awaited age to come, God's great plan to set the world right-side up was about to start unfolding, and here Jesus is saying, “This is how you have a share in it and it starts by forsaking the upside-down ways of the world and following me.  It means being the people who will finally witness the Lord's presence with them.  It means being the people who will lift the veil on the Lord's new creation to show the nations what it looks like.  And so he begins in Matthew 5:3, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”   Before we go any further, we need to understand what it means to be blessed.  It's the Hebrew idea of shalom—something so broad, it's hard to nail down exactly, but it's the sense of completeness, and wellness, of peace with God and in the community.  It's about being set to rights and living in a community or a world set to rights.  That last bit is important.  It's not just an individual thing; it's a community thing—a covenantal thing.  It goes back to Abraham and to the exodus and to God's creation of a people who would know the blessing of living in his presence and then witness that blessing to the world around them—that they would witness it until the knowledge of the Lord's glory covers the whole world as the waters cover the sea.  The very next thing Jesus goes on to preach about after the Beatitudes is being a people who are salt and light to the world.  It's another illustration of what it looks like not just to be God's people in the world, but to be God's people for the world.  To be and to live out God's new creation here and now.  To be the dawn that drives away the darkness of the long night. That's what being blessed is about.  The people Jesus describes in these blessings are people who are already living the life of the kingdom, even if imperfectly.  Their desire is to see the Lord set his people and his world to rights and they're already living that way.  They're prepared for the kingdom—unlike so many others who were still invested in the ways and values of fallen Israel, fallen humanity, and this broken world.  Jesus starts out with the poor in spirit and I can't help but think of Mary.  When she finds out that she's going to bear the Messiah—the one who will set everything to rights—what does she do?  Instead of the news filling her with pride, it humbles her.  She bursts out in song: “My soul doth magnify the Lord…for he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden.” Most people though that God would usher in his kingdom and set the world to rights by coming like a great warrior-king to the important and the wealthy, to the powerful and politically connected.  Instead, he came to a young girl in a backwater village.  And people like Mary flocked to Jesus and through them the kingdom of God burst into the world.  The humble came in faith and he opened their eyes, healed their diseases, cast out their demons, and forgave their sins.  And all the while the powerful and connected, people like the Sadducees, fumed that Jesus was offering forgiveness apart from the temple.  The Pharisees fumed that he was healing on the Sabbath and welcoming tax collectors and sinners.  But Jesus says that judgement is coming and those who will see the kingdom will not be the powerful or the self-righteous, but those humble enough to recognise the kingdom in Jesus and to follow him. The rest of the Beatitudes go the same way.  Jesus says: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” (Matthew 5:4-9) These don't come out of the blue.  All through these sayings, Jesus is drawing from the prophets and, especially, the psalms.  He began his ministry preaching in the synagogue in Nazareth with the words of Isaiah: “The Lord anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor…to comfort all who mourn.”  Isaiah was announcing judgement on Israel and so was Jesus.  But those who mourn the sins of the people, those who mourn their broken fellowship with the Lord, they will be the ones to pass through the fires of the coming judgement to live in that new messianic community of the age to come. In Psalm 37, David declared, “the meek shall inherit the land and shall take delight in the abundance of peace”.  It's ironic, because so many people expected the Messiah to come like mighty David, crashing into Jerusalem to put the enemies of his people to the sword.  They expected the kingdom to come by violence.  But David himself had declared that it's the meek who would inherit the land—the kingdom, life in the presence of God. Jesus draws on Psalm 107 when he says that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness or justice will be satisfied.  The people longed for justice, but for far too many people in Israel that justice looked more like vengeance than justice and that's not the way.  Violence begets violence.  It always has and it always will.  But Jesus shows the way of the kingdom as he let violence do its worst and then forgave, breaking the cycle and turning evil back on itself.  Humility, gentleness, mercy, forgiveness—and a desire to see the wicked repent—that's the way of the kingdom.  And, of course, that's why only the merciful can ever truly know God's mercy. And the pure in heart.  Jesus echoes Psalm 24:3-6.  “Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?  And who shall stand in his holy place?  He who has clean hands and a pure heart…He will receive blessing from the Lord, and vindication from the God of his salvation.  Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.”  To see the kingdom, to live before the face of God, means you have to value that kingdom.  You have to want to be part of the world set to rights—not just to receive its benefits, but truly be part of it.  And so outward piety won't do.  The people of the kingdom love it, they long for it, they want to be part and parcel of the world set to rights, to contribute to it, and so they don't go through the motions—they're truly pure of heart. And the peacemakers.  The Messiah came to make peace.  To make peace with God by bearing in himself the sins of his people that they might be forgiven.  And to set us right so that we can be at peace with each other.  The vengeful, the violent, the proud—they'll be the ones swept away in the coming judgement.  Only the peacemakers—following in the footsteps of their peace-making Messiah—will have a place in the kingdom of peace. But Jesus also warns these people.  To see the kingdom, you're going to have live out it's values in the present evil age, and for that you will be hated, mocked, scorned, and even killed.  He goes on in verses 10-12: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” To follow Jesus and to live for the kingdom is costly.  It means taking up your cross—sometimes very literally.  As Jesus would say: The servant is not greater than his master.  If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you.”  When he preached in his hometown of Nazareth, the people were so angry with him that they tried to throw him off a cliff.  Before too long the religious leaders would be scheming to have him killed.  He knew from the beginning that that was the path he had to take.  And he knew his people would suffer for the sake of his name.  At the cross the present evil age was dealt a death blow.  In rising from the grave Jesus inaugurated the age to come.  The present age is passing away and the age to come is breaking in, but Jesus knew that his people would live in the overlap.  God brought salvation and renewal this way for a reason.  The people of Jesus' day wanted it to come all at once, but God chose to bring it slowly.  People today have the same sort of expectation.  They ask how a good God can allow so much evil in the world.  But in asking that question, in asking why God doesn't come and deal with evil we're showing the same sort of self-righteous mindset that dominated Israel.  We're forgetting that for God to come and deal with evil means that God will not only have to deal with our enemies and the people who cause us grief, but that he'll also have to deal with us.  We're all sinners.  We're all responsible for the mess this world is in—some more, some less—but we've all contributed to it.  And so God sent Jesus to deal with that sin and to inaugurate his kingdom, but he also delays, and in that he gives sinners a chance to repent and turn to him.  It also means that those who, in this in-between time, insist on revealing the kingdom, those who insist on confronting the sinful systems of the old age through their poverty of spirit, through their meekness, through their mercy, through their peace-making will face the same backlash that Jesus faced.  As God's people show the world set to rights, those invested in the way things are will fight back.  When God's people declare that Jesus is the world's true Lord, the Caesars of this age and their supporters will lash out to silence the challenge. The martyrs are a testimony to Jesus' promise.  And when you see your brothers and sisters being carried off to die—whether by the Jewish authorities, or the Romans, or Communists, Islamists, Hindus, Buddhists, or radical secularists in our age, it's easy to fear.  Are we really blessed when we are persecuted for the sake of righteousness?  This was the purpose behind St. John's “revelation”.  The church was on the verge of being plunged into violent persecution—a time of great trial and tribulation.  Would their faith hold?  And what about those who died for the sake of faith in Jesus?  And so God gave John a vision.  Just as Jesus had promised, judgement was coming, first on unbelieving Israel and then on the pagan word of the Greeks and Romans.  The scroll of judgement announcing judgement on Jerusalem and Judah is brought forth.  The redeeming lamb is now the great lion of Judah.  The wrath of God is about to be poured out.  And then everything is paused.  What's to happen to the faithful, to Jesus' people in the midst of the storm.  This is where our Epistle picks up in Revelation 7:2-3. Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” The imagery here is drawn from Ezekiel.  The prophet was shown a vision of Israel's idolatry and then a vision of a “man clothed in linen” who was directed by the Lord to “put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in it” (Ezekiel 9:3-4).  In the divine judgement to come, no one was to touch those market out for the Lord.  What the Lord did in Ezekiel's day was about to happen again, but the Lord would spare the faithful.  Those who are sealed by the angel are announced in verse 4: And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel. The text goes on to list specifically twelve thousand from each of the twelve tribes.  This is the remnant of faithful Israel, much like those marked out in Ezekiel's vision centuries before.  This is the Jewish church of Jerusalem and Judea, those Jews who heard the good news and trusted in Jesus.  Those Jews who were appalled by Israel's abominations.  Those who were about to face violent persecution at the hands of their fellow Jews.  The Lord would not abandon them, even though they die.  He places his mark on them and seals them as his own.  And their faithfulness to Jesus the Messiah, is the means by which the nations are brought to the cross.  They are persecuted for righteousness' sake, and they know blessing as a result, because it is through their faithfulness to Jesus that they fulfil the Abrahamic covenant's call to be a blessing to the nations. John hears the announcement of the sealing of the Jewish church, and then he sees a vision of a multitude that could not be numbered, drawn from the nations: After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” (Revelation 7:9-10) And jumping down to verse 13: Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?”… And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.  (Revelation 7:13-14) John's vision now draws on the imagery of the prophet Daniel, who wrote of another time of great distress through which the Lord saw a faithful remnant of his people.  The wise amongst them were refined through persecution that they might “shine like the brightness of the sky above” (12:3) so that they would “turn many to righteousness”.  Faithful Israel, through her unwavering allegiance to Jesus in this time of trial would serve as the witnesses that will bring the nations to faith in the Lord.  The faithfulness of the 144,000, of the Jewish martyrs, their robes soaked in their own blood, brings that multi-ethnic multitude to Jesus that he might wash their robes in his blood and make them part of his people.  As Zechariah had prophesied, ten men from the nations, of every tongue, will take hold of the robe of a Jew and say, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you!” (8:23) Brothers and Sisters, because of the faithful witness of the martyrs, you and I are here today in the house of the Lord.  Our lessons today remind us their faithfulness to the Lord Jesus, their faithfulness to his kingdom, even in the midst of persecution, was the means by which God brought the nations to himself.  It's also a witness to the faithfulness of God, who fulfils his promises.  He gives his own Spirit to his people that they—that even we—might face persecution in faith.  Today we see him embracing his people and wiping away their tears.  Revelation tells us the story of our brothers and sisters who lived in the First Century—of those Jewish believers who faced persecution and martyrdom at the hands of unbelieving Israel and of that multitude drawn pagan Greco-Roman world because of their witness.  They, too would face persecution at the hands of an empire that would, because of their witness, eventually be brought in submission to the lordship of Jesus.  And yet there's obviously more to the story of Jesus' people.  What we see in John's vision is intermediate and temporary.  The martyrs held close by God as saints on earth and in heaven await the consummation of history, that day when the faithful will follow Jesus in his resurrection, when all things are made new, when heaven and earth are rejoined, and when men and women once again dwell in the presence of the Lord. Brothers and Sisters, we don't know what will happen between now and then.  We may face our own time of great tribulation one day, but even if we don't, we continue in the ordinary fight of Christians in every generation against the world, the flesh, and the devil.  We face the ordinary troubles of life in an imperfect world and the difficulties of being faithful witnesses of Jesus in a culture that worships its own versions of Caesar and Mammon, Mars and Aphrodite.  Let us, like the saints who have gone before, stand firm in faith as stewards of the good news of Jesus and his kingdom, knowing that our God is faithful to his promises.  Let us be the people blessed to be a blessing, living out the life and values of Jesus' kingdom.  Let us confront the upside-down values of the world in poverty of spirit, with mourning and meekness, and mercy; let us hunger and thirst for justice as we serve the Lord with pure hearts—lifting the veil on God's future, showing the people around us what a right-side up world looks like.  And no matter the trials and tribulations that come, remember that Jesus has promised to hold us close, even in death, until that day when he makes all things new. Let's pray:  Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of your Son Christ our Lord: Give us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those inexpressible joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting.  Amen.

The song in today's email is Glory To God The Trinity (Trinity Hymn) from my album ThunderAlbum Link: https://rickleejames.bandcamp.com/album/thunderI'm sharing the song today for a good reason. While the secular calendar points us to Memorial Day this weekend, on the Christian Calendar today is Trinity Sunday, the first Sunday after Pentecost. Many churches today will honor this day by using the following, The Creed of Athanasius (Written against the Arians.) I hope you can make the time to read and maybe even share the Creed with others today. See the note below if you are uncomfortable with the word catholic.On this occasion of Trinity Sunday, let us rejoice, seek forgiveness, forgive and promise to love and cherish each other. Blessings,Rick Lee James* catholic = universalThe Creed of AthanasiusWhoever desires to be saved must, above all, hold the catholic* faith.Whoever does not keep it whole and undefiled will without doubt perish eternally.And the catholic* faith is this,that we worship one God in Trinity and Trinity in unity, neither confusing the persons nor dividing the substance.For the Father is one person, the Son is another, and the Holy Spirit is another.But the Godhead of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit is one: the glory equal, the majesty coeternal.Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Spirit:the Father uncreated, the Son uncreated, the Holy Spirit uncreated;the Father infinite, the Son infinite, the Holy Spirit infinite;the Father eternal, the Son eternal, the Holy Spirit eternal.And yet there are not three Eternals, but one Eternal,just as there are not three Uncreated or three Infinites, but one Uncreated and one Infinite.In the same way, the Father is almighty, the Son almighty, the Holy Spirit almighty;and yet there are not three Almighties but one Almighty.So the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God;and yet there are not three Gods, but one God.So the Father is Lord, the Son is Lord, the Holy Spirit is Lord;and yet there are not three Lords, but one Lord.Just as we are compelled by the Christian truth to acknowledge each distinct person as God and Lord, so also are we prohibited by the catholic* religion to say that there are three Gods or Lords.The Father is not made nor created nor begotten by anyone. The Son is neither made nor created, but begotten of the Father alone.The Holy Spirit is of the Father and of the Son, neither made nor created nor begotten but proceeding. Thus, there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; one Holy Spirit, not three Holy Spirits.And in this Trinity none is before or after another; none is greater or less than another;but the whole three persons are coeternal with each other and coequal so that in all things, as has been stated above, the Trinity in Unity and Unity in Trinity is to be worshiped. Therefore, whoever desires to be saved must think thus about the Trinity.But it is also necessary for everlasting salvation that one faithfully believe the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.Therefore, it is the right faith that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is at the same time both God and man.He is God, begotten from the substance of the Father before all ages; and He is man, born from the substance of His mother in this age: perfect God and perfect man, composed of a rational soul and human flesh; equal to the Father with respect to His divinity, less than the Father with respect to His humanity.Although He is God and man, He is not two, but one Christ:one, however, not by the conversion of the divinity into flesh but by the assumption of the humanity into God;one altogether, not by confusion of substance, but by unity of person.For as the rational soul and flesh is one man, so God and man is one Christ,who suffered for our salvation, descended into hell, rose again on the third day from the dead,ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father, from whence He will come to judge the living and the dead.At His coming all people will rise again with their bodies and give an account concerning their own deeds. And those who have done good will enter into eternal life, and those who have done evil into eternal fire.This is the catholic* faith; whoever does not believe it faithfully and firmly cannot be saved.

This Sunday, we will explore the first week of Advent: Hope. At the darkest time of the year, hope is the growing light we hold onto. It is the promise of what is yet to come. "What oxygen is to the lungs, such is hope to the meaning of life." ~Emil Bruner

St. Patrick Presbyterian Church, EPC

In the Christian Calendar, the Sunday prior to the beginning of Advent is designated as Christ the King Sunday. This ancient holiday is typically overshadowed in our part of the world by Thanksgiving (also a very Biblical observance) and the opening of deer hunting season (maybe a bit less so). But that's ok. There are only 52 weekends in a year and it's hard to get all of the celebrating in that such a wondrous existence merits! For those who are interested, Christ the King Sunday serves as the capstone to ordinary time, which we've been observing since Pentecost. It's a bit like a New Year's Eve, wherein we get to bask in the triumph of King Jesus through his Church before starting the Story all over again. This Sunday we'll be wrapping up our Jonah series, and hopefully, stand amazed that God can take even a grown man's hissy fit and use it to point us to His perfect glory in Christ our King. PS. We'd love to have you stay with us after worship this week to “deck the halls” for the Advent season!

While there are many potentially healthy shaping influences for a Christians spiritual growth, one of the greatest shaping influences neglected by many Christians today is the Christian calendar. A 2016 survey done by LifeWay Research reveals that fewer than three in ten American evangelicals observe Lent 28 percent. Even 40 percent of Roman Catholics surveyed said they did not observe Lent. This general neglect of observing the Christian calendar is lamentable. God desires that His people be conformed to the image of Christ Rom. 8:29 and not to that of the world Rom. 12:2. How we mark and fill our time is a significant shaping influence that can aid us in this process of growth in Christlikeness. Many Christians today order their lives in basically the same way our pagan neighbors do. They work five or six days a week, take a break on Sunday maybe, plan a yearly vacation, and then observe the standard national holidays. At a glance, there is nothing notably different about this routine from the routine of our unbelieving neighbors. But as Christians, should we not mark our time differently? Should not our approach to our schedule reflect our commitment to Jesus Christ above all else? Keeping the church calendar year after year can bring the story of redemption into our time and space and can serve as another helpful means of speaking to our whole person. This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with JOURNAL author Josh Moore about his online exclusive CHRISTIAN RESEARCH JOURNAL Viewpoint article Why Christians Should Observe the Christian Calendar.

The websites where you can reach us are alittlewalkwithgod.com, richardagee.com, or saf.church. I hope you will join us every week and be sure to let us know how you enjoy the podcast and let others know about it, too. Thanks for listening. Thanks for joining me today for "A Little Walk with God." I'm your host Richard Agee. It's hard to believe the season of Lent will begin this week if you are hearing this podcast the week of its release. Lent is something much of the protestant world has forgotten, unfortunately. It has long been part of the Christian Calendar of special remembrances and festivals, but when many of the current protestant denominations grew out of the Catholic and liturgical faiths, we sometimes threw the baby out with the bath. Why do I say that? Why do I think we need to take a look at the Christian Calendar presented by some of the more liturgical fellowships? What is so important about those dates that we should drag them out of the closet as fundamentalists or charismatics? Are they necessary for our worship? No. Are they required to keep us on track with God? No. Are they critical to our study of Jesus and what he has done for us? Again, I'd answer no to the question. So why am I bringing it up the day after what has been named Transfiguration Sunday and just a few days before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the Lenten Season? First, let me say that it has only been in the last couple of decades that I really let the Christian Calendar take root in my own life. And even so, many of the special days remembered by the Roman and Eastern Orthodox Churches will not be a part of my celebrations for a variety of reasons. But there are some that I think are good to embrace as remembrances of what Jesus did for us. And those fundamentalist and charismatics will agree that some of the calendar events are indeed special. Who would argue that we should not remember Easter and its immediate predecessor Good Friday? Or how about Pentecost, the birth of the church? Those are predicated on Christmas, so shouldn't that day be a part of our celebrations? So you see, we do pick and choose what parts of the Christian Calendar we will celebrate or use as part of our worship. It's just that in the last couple of decades, I've learned more about how the early church fathers used some of the special days to teach their congregates about the events of Jesus life and how they should emulate him in their daily walk. We must remember the majority of the early Christians were uneducated. Many could not read or write and even if they could, they didn't have access to scriptures or books or literature to help them know who Jesus was, what he did, or how they could find peace in his forgiveness. Consequently, the church provided special days to remember events in the life of Christ and the church to share the story of his life to the masses. The argument for why we don't observe them from some is many were taken from pagan holidays and transformed instead into Christian holy days. I don't disagree. But is that wrong? To transform something that was perhaps an evil practice and make it a holy one? If that's wrong, then perhaps we need to look at ourselves. Jesus transforms this evil, sinful person into his likeness when we ask forgiveness and follow him. So why can't we use some of those worldly things, transformed, for holy purposes? Remember the dream Peter had about the banquet God provided of unclean animals? What God has made is never unclean. God makes all things good. So all 365 days of the year are good because God makes them. If we can use some tools to better remember what he has done for us, then isn't that a good thing even when Satan tries to twist them into something bad? Well, there is a little of my thought process to tell you we should embrace some of the calendar we have sometimes forgotten. One of those times is the Lenten Season. It begins with Ash Wednesday which this year falls on March 6. It began as a time of preparation for new Christians before their baptism. In the New Testament, believers were sometimes baptised immediately after their conversion. In the latter part of the first century, especially before Constantine became a believer and declared Christianity freed from persecution from his throne, believers began to desire baptism on Easter. By the time Constantine became emperor, the church also had a problem with young believers not really knowing what they signed up for. The disciples were dead. Jesus had ascended. There were no authorized canons to show this is what the church believes is the definitive word of God. And they couldn't read it anyway. It was necessary to teach these new Christians and make sure they knew the cost. So the early church fathers like Ignatius, Origen, Hippolytus, Ambrose, and Augustine all recognized the need for a time of preparation before baptism into the church family. Kind of like doing the ground school training before you let the student pilot solo behind the controls of a plane in flight. Do they really believe and know what's coming? It wasn't long before the standard preparation time became 40 days to coincide the 40 years the Israelites spent in the desert preparing to enter the promised land or the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness preparing for his ministry and fighting the temptations of Satan. Baptismal candidates would spend 3 hours a day for 40 days with their teacher, not counting Sundays, days to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. In a nutshell, the church wanted to make sure they knew about Jesus. They knew about their lostness without him. And they knew the commitment they were taking, the cost of being a follower of Christ. Jesus told us to count the cost before launching into something and the cost of being a Christian is everything. He said if you don't die, you can't live. If you don't take up your cross and follow him, you're not one of his. It takes everything to be a Christian. In the early church persecution was real. We sometimes think we are persecuted in this country because someone points a finger at us and make snide remarks. In the early church, Christians couldn't shop in the open markets. They were all dedicated to pagan gods and you had to bow to those gods to enter. They couldn't get jobs. Most of the jobs were owned by those who wanted to kill Christians, not help them. They often lost their property, confiscated by the religious leaders or the state because of their “rebellion.” The often lost their family. Either because of shunning when they accepted Christ as Savior and no longer upheld the pagan rituals of their family's traditions or the state took their children because of the “abuse” by these rebellious parents. And sometimes the cost meant death. The cost of being a Christian in the early church was everything. If the candidate wasn't prepared to give up everything, including their family and their life, then baptism and the church were not for them. Lent was that time of study and preparation for baptism in the early church. After Constantine, however, the church discovered the preparation for baptism were a good time for all the congregation to be reminded of their commitment. It was a good time to prepare for the most important event in the history of Jesus' time on earth. In our culture, we have managed to make Christmas really important with all the celebrations and presents. But I think we have really made Christmas in this country about money more than anything else. Easter is really what Jesus' life was all about, though. He came to give his life as a sacrifice for you and me. But if had just died on the cross, he would not have been remembered. He would have been another good man who rebelled against the Jewish leaders and the Roman government and he lost as evidenced by his crucifixion. If his tomb had stayed sealed on that third day, there would be no New Testament. There would be no early church. There would be no days to remember. It would be over. But it didn't end there. Easter came. The tomb opened and he walked out...alive. More than 500 people saw him over those next 40 days before he ascended into heaven. His early kingdom has grown exponentially and men and women are willing to die for him even those he left this place on a cloud 2000 years ago. Easter is what Jesus came to do. Yes, he came to die as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. But more than that, Jesus came to live again to prove he has power of death and the grave. He has the power to transform us into something better. Easter is coming. Lent is almost here. How will you prepare? What will you do to know Jesus? What will you do to know you are lost without him? What will you do to know the commitment you make when you say yes to his will? What will you share with those around you that are on their way to an eternity without him? How will you show others just what Jesus means to you as you prepare to celebrate his resurrection in a way you have never celebrated before, fully prepared to worship the risen Lord this Easter.

Carnival in Trinidad is always tied to the date of Ash Wednesday in the Christian Calendar. Its not a Christian event by any means! Google the history if you want to learn more about that, but my point is that this year is a 'short Carnival season'. And I love short seasons becasue it means SOCA music comes out in abundance and hard. I think its going to be a POWER SOCA year! Some say Power soca is 130BPM and Up, whatever it is. There's plenty of face paced awesome SOCA music and this episode does not disappoint. Who's going to Carnival 2018? Its just 30 days away as of this broadcast!

We're in the middle of a 7-part series where we're walking the Christian Calendar with Charlotte-based Methodist Minister, Susan Heafner-Heun, to better understand the "Christian year". Right now we're in the middle of the Easter season, which lasts until June 4. *Raise your hand if you had no idea that Easter was a full season or that it lasts 50 days! We're with you! Easter is about many things, but it's most certainly about hope! What else is it about? What do the Gospel writers tell us about God being a God of Life through the Easter story? What is the message of death not having the last word? What's up with the bodily resurrection? How about the garden where Jesus' open tomb was said by some to be located? How about all the appearances Jesus made after he died? What were all the "little" stories that were included in the larger Easter Story? In our usual inquiring fasion, we hop down a few bunny trails, and ask about "The Way" and the followers of The Way, the significance of breath, the Gospel writers, "Doubting Thomases", mystical experiences, and more! Please join us for this rich, unconventional exploration of the Easter story & season!

Susan Heafner-Heun, Progressive Christian Pastor of Inclusion Community Church in Lake Norman (Cornelius), North Carolina, gets excited when she talks about the seasons of the Christian Calendar. Her enthusiasm brings this subject to life, perhaps in contrast to the rather dull way it may have been taught in churches you grew up in. She believes the Christian seasons are rich with ritual, myth, history, symbolism, and the natural rythems of life. But often, some of them are overlooked or entirely left out of church celebrations and practices. Many who have been Christians for years or a lifetime, do not even really know the signifiance of some of the Christian seasons - what they are revealing to us, what they have to offer our modern day lives, and how we are invited to be included in each season. These invitations and offerings can also hold value for non-Christians, as many of the meanings can be applied to anyone's life. Today we are learning about the season of Lent. Lent symbolizes the time of Jesus' Walk to Jerusalem and includes Holy Week, the last week of Jesus' life. Lasting for 40 days, this season also includes Palm Sunday, Passover, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. Using the Gospel of Mark, Susan takes us on a journey of the wisdom that can be gleaned and the questions that can be explored during the season of Lent!

We don't like to wait. Yet there are times in life when we are forced to wait. But what do we do when we feel like God has forgotten us? We need a way to mark time that reminds us of our hope. Pastor Glenn Packiam explains that this is the heart behind the Christian Calendar-- to mark time around the life of Christ. For Christians, our hope in the present and our hope for the future is God-with-us. Discover how this keeps us from despair, from trying to take matters into our own hands, and from trying to earn our way with God.
