KINGDOM CALLING part 7: No Thanks - Brenden Lang, Teaching & Residency Minister

Sunday,  February 15th 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 Lead Pastor Tim Davis @ Christ The King Church. A non-denominational Christian Church located in Canby, OR. (www.ctkcanby.com)

“Just Do One Thing” from Christian Church at Minden by Greg Lee. Released: 2026. The post Just Do One Thing appeared first on Christian Church at Minden.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (02/13/26), Hank discusses the origins of Valentine's Day, looking at the Orthodox Church's veneration of Saint Valentine, the Presbyter from Rome, for his martyrdom, and, as for all its saints, honors St. Valentine as a model of life in Christ. According to The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, the traditional association of St. Valentine's Day with courtship is likely connected with certain customs of the pagan festival Lupercalia. If so, this would be another example of Christians usurping a pagan holiday and Christianizing it for the glory of Christ.Hank also answers the following questions:Why didn't God actualize the angels in righteousness before they fell? Crystal - Kansas City, KS (15:39)Since Paul in 1 Corinthians 1:10 says there should not be divisions amongst believers, what does this say about all the different denominations within the body of Christ today? Jessie - IA (17:09)Could you explain the story of the fish with a coin in its mouth in Matthew 17:24-27? Gus - Oklahoma City, OK (20:06)Would the command to obey the government in Romans chapter 13 apply to Sharia law? Cameron - OK (21:51)

Send a textThis is the fourth of five bonus episodes I shall be releasing this week. This is the latest episode of My 'History of the Christian Church' Podcast.When Gregory the Great became bishop of Rome at the end of the sixth century, the Western world was pretty much in ruins and standing on the edge of an era that would become known as the Dark Ages. The Roman Empire in the West had collapsed. Cities were crumbling. Plagues swept through the population. Invasions came not in isolation, but in waves. Civil authority was weak, unreliable, and sometimes absent altogether. And into that chaos stepped Gregory. He never sought power. Gregory preferred the quiet life of a monk to the burden of public leadership. Yet history would remember him as one of the most influential figures of the early medieval Church—the man who more than any other bridged the ancient world and the medieval West.To subscribe and listen to the entire series for free.

"The Classic Literature Podcast'.Oliver Twist is not just a novel—it's a cry. A cry against cruelty, against hypocrisy, against a society that punishes the vulnerable and rewards the corrupt. But it's also a cry of hope. Because even in the darkest alley, Dickens insists that light can break through. That grace can find the lost. In this episode, we'll explore how Oliver Twist and we'll meet characters who embody both sin and salvation. We'll trace the spiritual arc of a boy who begins with nothing but a name—and ends with a family, a future, and the hope of redemption.Support the showFollow and Support All my Creative endeavours on Patreon.

Have you ever received someone else's mail by mistake? It's like opening a letter meant for your neighbor and trying to apply the instructions to your own life. Context matters. Just like in Scripture.2 Chronicles 7:14 is often misquoted, used as a rallying cry for nations. But this covenant promise was made to Israel, not America. The covenant with Israel has been fulfilled in Jesus Christ, extending to all believers. We are in the deepest covenant with God through Christ's sacrifice.As believers, we are called to live holy lives, seek God, and share the gospel. While personal salvation is guaranteed, the Bible does not promise the political, cultural, or economic salvation of nations. Our focus should be on Christ crucified and conquered.So today in the podcast, let talk about filtering everything through the lens of Christ. Live out a biblical worldview and share the promise of salvation with others. Call upon His name, do as He asks, and be saved. Let's embrace the covenant we have in Christ and invite others to do the same. 

God is keeping us for freedom, not from it.In this message, Pastor Steven teaches on the true freedom found within God's perfect parameters and how He not only wants to bless us, but keep us.This message is part of a series called Kept, where we are talking about how God wants to keep us from evil, for good.Love Church is a Christian Church community based in Menomonie, WI with a desire to experience & express the love of God.

Sunday,  February 8th 1 Samuel 30:1-31 Lead Pastor Tim Davis @ Christ The King Church. A non-denominational Christian Church located in Canby, OR. (www.ctkcanby.com)

In this teaching by Pastor and Lady Dobbs, they minister together from Matthew 12:48-50 on how important it is for a learned family to be content in doing the will of the Father. They deal with the different personality types of families and how the Lord can use each unique family member to accomplish His will on the earth. Scripture: Matthew 12:48-50 48 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

After all the battles, betrayals, restorations, and songs of deliverance, the book closes not with a triumph, but with a moment of failure… and yet a surprising revelation of God's mercy. 2 Samuel 24 tells the story of David's census — a wrong-headed decision driven by pride, insecurity, and misplaced confidence. It's a moment where David, the seasoned king, forgets the lesson he learned as a young shepherd boy: Victory never comes from numbers, but from God Himself…. So, let's walk through a chapter that confronts us with the cost of pride, but also invites us to witness the mercy of a God who never leaves His people without hope. Welcome to the episode…Support the showFollow and Support All my Creative endeavours on Patreon.

The battles are mostly behind us. The rebellions have quieted. The kingdom has weathered storms, heartbreak, and restoration. And now the narrative slows down and gives us something precious.... David's final recorded words.The last words Scripture preserves as his official testimony — a poetic reflection on leadership, covenant, and the kind of life that shines with God's light. They read like a benediction, a legacy, a window into the mind of a man who has walked with God through triumph and failure, joy and sorrow, and courage beyond the collapse.Chapter 23 gives us two gifts: 1. David's Final Words — A Vision of Leadership Under God2. The Mighty Men — Stories of Courage and Loyalty This chapter is about legacy — not a legacy of power or perfection, but the legacy of a life shaped by God and surrounded by faithful companions. In doing so I believe it invites us to reflect on: The kind of people we are becoming. The kind of leaders we should follow, the kind of courage we admire, and the legacy we should hope to leaveWelcome to the episode….Support the showFollow and Support All my Creative endeavours on Patreon.

Wednesday,  February 4th 1 Samuel  29:1-11 Lead Pastor Tim Davis @ Christ The King Church. A non-denominational Christian Church located in Canby, OR. (www.ctkcanby.com)

Send us a textTo receive my weekly newsletter with updates on all my podcasts: Subscribe on Substack.Jeremy McCandless | SubstackWelcome back, friends. Today, we step into 2 Samuel 22, a chapter unlike anything we've read in the book, maybe even the bible so far.  After the battles, after the betrayals, the grief, the justice, and the long journey of restoration, the narrative pauses — and David sings. This chapter is a song of deliverance. A testimony and a reflection on a lifetime of God's faithfulness. It is David looking back over the landscape of his life — the dangers he escaped, the enemies he faced, the giants that fell, the caves he hid in. The betrayals he endured, the mercy he received — and gathering it all into one sweeping declaration: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.” This is not the song of a young shepherd boy. It is the song of an older, more mature man who has lived through storms, failures, victories, and heartbreak. It is the voice of a man who has seen God rescue him repeatedly — sometimes dramatically, sometimes quietly, sometimes through others, sometimes in ways he didn't understand until years later. This chapter is a gift to the church.  It is a reminder that worship is not something we do only when life is peaceful — it is something we always do, particularly when we look back and realize that God has been faithful in every valley and every victory. So, settle in as we listen to David's song — a song written in the aftermath of a lifetime with God in all its ups and downs. Welcome to the episode.Support the showFollow and Support All my Creative endeavours on Patreon.

This Sunday, Kris Chayer continues our sermon series The Heart of God in the New Year with his message, A Church That Keeps Growing. We'll explore what it truly means for the church to grow. It's not about more people in seats, but about spiritual growth, growing in unity, and devotion to God. As we grow individually in our relationship with Him, we grow together as a unified body, creating space for the Holy Spirit to move freely among us. Join us as we discover how this kind of growth can impact our church and extend God's work into the world around us."But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.” - 2 Peter 3:18We are so blessed you're joining us for this message.LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE!

The kingdom is stabilizing again. But now the story turns our attention to the unfinished business of the past.  This chapter reminds us that not all wounds are visible, and not all consequences disappear simply because time has passed. Some things linger beneath the surface until God, in His wisdom, brings them to the surface to be addressed. So, this chapter is about: ·         Accountability·         Covenant faithfulness·         the long shadow of past sinChapter 21 is not an easy chapter, but it is a necessary one. It reminds us that God is committed to justice, to truth, and to healing — even when the process is painful, and even when the wounds come from long ago. So, let's walk through a chapter and see how God leads His people toward restoration. Welcome to the episode….Support the showFollow and Support All my Creative endeavours on Patreon.

In this powerful message, Ricky challenges a common misconception that trips up many young Christians today: just because you're familiar with Jesus doesn't mean you actually know Him.

The gospel to Jews and Gentiles alike, fulfilling his mission to take the gospel to the "ends of the earth." The passage highlights Paul's unwavering commitment to proclaiming Jesus, despite his circumstances, and shows how the message of the Kingdom cannot be hindered

part 5: Fire In My Bones - Parker Loghry, Creative & Teaching Minister

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 30, 2026. 0:30 For decades, Chick-fil-A wasn’t just fast food — it was a cultural symbol, known for Christian values, closed Sundays, and a service-first mindset that set it apart from every other national brand. But a new article is raising questions about whether that identity has quietly changed. From shifts in charitable giving and accusations of abandoning Christian organizations, to debates over social media messaging, corporate neutrality, and ideological boycotts, we dig into what’s real, what’s rumor, and what actually matters to everyday customers. Is Chick-fil-A still the same company millions trusted — or is this another example of politics creeping into business? And more importantly, should consumers care as long as the chicken is good and the business isn’t hostile to their values? This conversation tackles faith, free markets, merit, cancel culture, and the growing pressure on companies to pick a side. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Reporter and former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested by federal authorities.He was part of a group of people who invaded a Christian Church service two weekends ago as part of the anti-ICE demonstrations in Minneapolis, Minnesota. President Trump has announced who he plans on naming as the next head of the Federal Reserve.Trump named Kevin Warsh to be the next Fed Chair. A federal Judge has dismissed murder charges against Luigi Mangione.Mangione is accused of killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, shooting him from behind on the sidewalk just outside a hotel in Manhattan. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We react to an unconscionable move by Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, who has reportedly sent her top diplomat to the highest levels of the U.S. government — not to offer cooperation, but to demand that the United States stop targeting Mexican drug cartels. Instead of proposing joint operations to crush fentanyl trafficking or dismantle criminal empires, Sheinbaum’s priority appears to be protecting cartels from U.S. action. We dive into cartel violence, corruption, and control over entire regions of Mexico, while questioning whether the Mexican government is unwilling or simply unable to confront them. 16:00 Is Ashley Tisdale a victim of a toxic Hollywood mom clique — or is this just mean-girl drama with a grown-up twist? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on the actress’s viral op-ed claiming she was iced out by a celebrity mom group in California. From social media oversharing and jealousy to the dangers of calling out friend groups publicly, the conversation explores whether speaking out actually reveals more about the accuser than the accused. With stories every mom can relate to, we break down mom group dynamics, celebrity cliques, and why “bowing out gracefully” may be the wisest move — especially when kids, schools, and long-term relationships are involved. This candid discussion tackles toxic mom culture, Hollywood parenting drama, and the real-world consequences of airing friendship grievances online. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We break down a dramatic escalation in U.S. foreign policy as the Trump administration moves to effectively cut off oil money flowing from Venezuela and Mexico to communist Cuba. With sanctions finally being enforced, “ghost ships” carrying illegal Venezuelan oil are being seized, oil deliveries are drying up, and Cuba’s energy lifeline is collapsing. We connect the dots between Nicolás Maduro, the Cuban regime, and broader threats to U.S. national security, including terrorism and regional instability. Halted shipments from Mexico under U.S. pressure and energy companies pulling out of Cuba are part of a much larger strategy to dismantle hostile regimes in Venezuela, Cuba, and even Iran — and signals that America is no longer looking the other way. 25:30 A longtime Democrat strategist is now delivering a warning that has the Left fuming — and we can’t help but laugh. Rui Teixeira, author of Demographics Is Destiny, says the permanent Democrat majority he once predicted is collapsing, and unless Democrats radically change course, they’re headed for permanent minority status. His solution? Seven “realism” principles that sound a whole lot like Republican policy positions. From energy and economic growth to border security, merit over DEI, biological reality, and even patriotism, we down why Teixeira’s prescriptions are completely incompatible with today’s Democrat Party. And we ask the obvious question: if winning requires Democrats to believe everything Republicans already do, why have a Democrat Party at all? 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 The Democratic Party should take a page straight out of Seinfeld. Using George Costanza’s famous “do the opposite” philosophy, we make the case that every major Democrat instinct — on crime, border security, energy policy, culture, and government spending — has produced the exact opposite of what was promised. Compassion becomes chaos, equity breeds resentment, and progress leads to decline. Tying the analogy to recent warnings from Democrat strategist Rui Teixeira, the we explore whether Democrats could actually win again by abandoning their failed instincts and embracing the opposite approach. 35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From ICE chaos and AI images in Senate, to truly ridiculous stories involving Bruce Springsteen, kangaroos, and a “doomsday clock set to infinity," can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 39:30 We reflect on the life and legacy of legendary Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz, following news that he has entered hospice care. More than a Hall of Fame football coach, Holtz was a mentor, a man of faith, and a relentless advocate for discipline, accountability, and personal responsibility. Drawing from personal encounters with him, the conversation highlights how Holtz focused on building men of character first — believing that winning followed naturally. It’s a heartfelt tribute to a leader who shaped generations far beyond the football field and a reminder of how rare and necessary moral clarity and unapologetic leadership are in today’s culture. 41:30 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about long life that will make you say, "Whoa!"

Send us a textIf chapter 19 showed us the slow, hopeful work of restoration, chapter 20 shows us how easily that work can be disrupted. When we open this chapter, the kingdom has barely begun to breathe again. David has just returned to Jerusalem, but old wounds are still tender. Trust is still being built again, and into that fragile moment steps a new voice of division. His name is Sheba — a man with a loud voice and a dangerous influence: And he declares.  “We have no share in David!” And with that one sentence, the nation is shaken again. In this episode, we'll see a new rebellion arise because of the power of this divisive voice. Sheba's cry spreads like wildfire, and the fragile unity of Israel begins to fracture once more. But we will also see David respond.  — Leadership is required, and David must act quickly and wisely. And David must navigate a path for a kingdom that feels like it's slipping through his fingers.So, let's explore a chapter filled with urgency, tension, and the ongoing pursuit of peace….

We are living in the day and age that Revelation 3 talks about, the lukewarm Laodicean Church Age. We are watching the professing Christian Church presenting itself as highly lukewarm for the things of God, but absolutely on fire for all the wrong things like Christian Nationalism, self-glorification and self-enrichment. We are watching wicked leaders ruling over wicked people, and they love it. My message today is a WAKEUP CALL to the slumbering church, it is much later than you think, time is almost gone.“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” Revelation 3:20 (KJB)

Sunday,  February 1st 1 Samuel 28:1-25  Lead Pastor Tim Davis @ Christ The King Church. A non-denominational Christian Church located in Canby, OR. (www.ctkcanby.com)  

Intro We are generally skeptical of the church. Christianity is a relationship, not a religion. I like Jesus, but not Christians. I'm opposed to organized religion (and so was Jesus) The Church is too divisive. But Paul says, As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling…

In this teaching by Pastor Dobbs coming from Philippines 4:11 and Hebrews 11:8, he ministers on the life of Abraham who received the promise of God and departed from his father's house and went to a land without knowing where he was going to inherit the promise. We too have to be learned in the faith in order to fulfill the will of God. Scripture: Philippians 4:11- Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: Hebrews 11:8 - By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

We too have to be learned in the faith in order to fulfill the will of God. Scripture: 11:8 - By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

Mark ch 4 vs 26-32 , Ephesians ch 4 vs 4-18 - Blain Brock - Sunday, February 1, 2026

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights. Today is part three of my book report on David Bentley Hart's book called That All Shall Be Saved, Heaven, Hell, and Universal Salvation. The past two weeks we covered the beginning of his book, the Introduction. I'm going to begin this section by reading out of his final remarks, because he does a good job of simplifying his arguments here at the end of the book. So we'll start with that. Hart says on page 201, It may offend against our egalitarian principles today, but it was commonly assumed among the very educated of the early church that the better part of humanity was something of a hapless rabble who could be made to behave responsibly only by the most terrifying coercions of their imaginations. Belief in universal salvation may have been far more widespread in the first four or five centuries of Christian history than it was in all the centuries that followed, but it was never, as a rule, encouraged in any general way by those in authority in the church. Maybe there are great many among us who can be convinced to be good only through the threat of endless torture at the hands of an indefatigably vindictive god. Even so much as hint that the purifying flames of the age to come will at last be extinguished, and perhaps a good number of us will begin to think like the mafioso who refuses to turn state's evidence because he is sure he can do the time. Bravado is, after all, the chief virtue of the incorrigibly stupid. He goes on to say, I have never had much respect for the notion of the blind leap of faith, even when that leap is made in the direction of something beautiful and ennobling. I certainly cannot respect it when it is made in the direction of something intrinsically loathsome and degrading. And I believe that this is precisely what the Infernalist position, no matter what form it takes, necessarily involves. And to remind you, if you didn't hear the past two episodes, Infernalist refers to the notion that there is an unending hell of pain and torture for the unregenerate or the unrepentant. Further down page 202, Hart says, I honestly, perhaps guilelessly, believe that the doctrine of eternal hell is prima facie nonsensical for the simple reason that it cannot even be stated in Christian theological terms without a descent into equivocity, which is equivocation, so precipitous and total that nothing but edifying gibberish remains. To say that, on the one hand, God is infinitely good, perfectly just, and inexhaustibly loving, and that, on the other, he has created a world under such terms as oblige him either to impose or to permit the imposition of eternal misery on finite rational beings is simply to embrace a complete contradiction. All becomes mystery, but only in the sense that it requires a very mysterious ability to believe impossible things. [Jumping down the page, he says,] Can we imagine logically, I mean not merely intuitively, that someone still in torment after a trillion ages, or then a trillion trillion, or then a trillion vigintillion, is in any meaningful sense the same agent who contracted some measurable quantity of personal guilt in that tiny, ever more vanishingly insubstantial gleam of an instant that constituted his or her terrestrial life? And can we do this even while realizing that, at that point, his or her sufferings have, in a sense, only just begun, and, in fact, will always have only just begun? What extraordinary violence we must do both to our reason and to our moral intelligence, not to mention simple good taste, to make this horrid notion seem palatable to ourselves. And all because we have somehow, foolishly, allowed ourselves to be convinced that this is what we must believe. Really, could we truly believe it all apart from either profound personal fear or profound personal cruelty? Which is why, again, I do not believe that most Christians truly believe what they believe they believe. So, what he's saying here, what I've been talking to you about, is the idea that God, the God Above All Gods, what we call the Father in Gnosticism, would condemn people to everlasting torment, everlasting torment, with no other goal than to punish, because they're never going to get out of it. That's what everlasting means. And so it's just punishment for the sake of punishment, and that that great, unlimitable God would impose this punishment on little, limited, finite beings who only lived a brief millisecond of time in the great span of time of God. That God would create these people for the purpose, basically, of condemning them to everlasting torment. You see, that is not even rational. It doesn't make any sense. Not if you believe God is good. It's impossible. Now, if you think that God is evil, well, then that's not God, is it? By definition, if you believe that God is cruel and vindictive and unreasonable, well, that's not the God Above All Gods. And this should come as relief to those of you who think you can't believe in God, because God is so cruel and vindictive. Perhaps you were raised in an extremely cruel household with extremely vindictive parents, or schoolteachers, or somebody got to you and, in the name of God, inflicted cruelty upon you. Then you have come to accidentally transpose their human cruelty onto God, because they told you to. But that's not God, by definition, you see? And when I say, by definition, that means, like, cold is not hot, by definition. Cold is cold. And if you're going to start arguing, oh no, cold is hot, well, then you're not talking about cold, you're talking about hot. Do you see what I mean? And if you have been rejecting God, the God Above All Gods, because you have this view of God as merciless and vindictive, cruel, illogical, unfair, unjust, take comfort, because that's not God you're talking about. Now, it may be the small g god of this world. It could be the guy whose best friend is Satan, because remember, that is a small g god of confusion. And its main job is to cause you to forget that you come from transcendent goodness, that you come from above, from the God Above All Gods, and that you do have freedom. You do have free will. You are meant to inherit joy. You are to do good works, and to be happy, and to be in love, and to love everybody else. Don't let some evil archon, or evil Demiurge, or evil human, redefine God in such a way that you reject God, because that's the mistake. That's a categorical error. And that's why I say, take comfort, have joy, receive the love that was meant for you. Throwing out the baby with the bath water means to reject the Good because you can't sort it out from the bad. Refusing to accept God or Christ because you reject the flawed Christian Church is an example of throwing out the baby with the bath water. Okay, back to the book. On page 205, Hart says, It was not always thus. Let me at least shamelessly idealize the distant past for a moment. In its dawn, the gospel was a proclamation principally of a divine victory that had been won over death and sin, and over the spiritual powers of rebellion against the big G God that dwells on high, and here below, and under the earth. It announced itself truly as the good tidings of a campaign of divine rescue on the part of a loving God, who by the sending of his Son into the world, and even into the kingdom of death, had liberated his creatures from slavery to a false and merciless master, and had opened a way into the kingdom of heaven, in which all of creation would be glorified by the direct presence of big G God, [or the Father, as we call him in Gnosticism]. And by the way, this paragraph that I just read about early Christianity, is entirely consistent with this Valentinian Christianity that I share with you here. That is the entire purpose of we second-order creatures being sent down here below, to bring the good tidings of life and love and liberty to the fallen Demiurge, and now subsequently to all of the people who have been hoodwinked by the Demiurge and Satan into believing in the false god that does not incorporate love. Hart goes on to say, It was above all a joyous proclamation and a call to a lost people to find their true home at last, in their father's house. It did not initially make its appeal to human hearts by forcing them to revert to some childish or bestial cruelty latent in their natures. Rather, it sought to awaken them to a new form of life, one whose premise was charity. Nor was it a religion offering only a psychological salve for individual anxieties regarding personal salvation. It was a summons to a new and corporate way of life, salvation by entry into a community of love. Nothing as yet was fixed except the certainty that Jesus was now Lord over all things and would ultimately yield all things up to the Father, so that God might be all in all. Now we're going to go back into the earlier part of the book to explain some of these concepts in more depth. Hart has broken his book into four meditations, or four subjects we could call it. The first meditation is, who is God? The second meditation is, what is judgment? The third meditation is, what is a person? And the fourth meditation is, what is freedom? A reflection on the rational will. So in the first meditation, who is God? Hart explains to us that, The moral destiny of creation and the moral nature of God are absolutely inseparable. As the transcendent good beyond all things, God is also the transcendental end that makes every single action of any rational nature possible. Moreover, the end toward which He acts must be His own goodness, for He is Himself the beginning and end of all things. This is not to deny that, in addition to the primary causality of God's act of creation, there are innumerable forms of secondary causality operative within the creative order. But none of these can exceed or escape the one end toward which the first cause directs all things. And so what he is saying here is that the first causality is the expression of God's goodness, the purity of God reaching out through the Son and into the Fullness of God—emanating. That is the principal causality. That is the prime mover of all things, what we call the base state of consciousness, the matrix. But then there is a secondary causality that takes place subsequent to that. And I guess the first act of secondary causality was probably the fall, in that it was the first act of will prompted by ego that apparently deviated from God's original plan, although the Tripartite Tractate does say we shouldn't blame Logos because the fall was the cause of the cosmos which was destined to come about. But whereas the Father is the prime mover and remains shielded in purity and fullness and goodness—you see, all the love emanates from the Father, evil doesn't swim back upstream. It's all emanating from the Father, and it's all good. But we do have secondary causality down here in the created cosmos, primarily due to the actions of the Demiurge and the never-ending war that runs amuck down here. Hart says, page 70, First, as God's act of creation is free, constrained by neither necessity nor ignorance, all contingent ends are intentionally enfolded within his decision. And second, precisely because God in himself is absolute, absolved, that is, of every pathos of the contingent, every affect of the sort that a finite substance has the power to visit upon another, his moral venture in creating is infinite. One way or another, after all, all causes are logically reducible to their first cause. This is no more than a logical truism. In either case, all consequence are, either as actualities or merely possibilities, contingent upon the primordial antecedent, apart from which they could not exist. In other words, all the things that happen down here in the cosmos couldn't have happened without God giving it the first start, without the Father giving it the initial emanation. He goes on to say, And naturally, the rationale of a first cause, its definition, in the most etymologically exact meaning of that term, is the final cause that prompts it, the end toward which it acts. If, then, that first cause is an infinitely free act emerging from infinite wisdom, all those consequence are intentionally entailed, again, either as actualities or as possibilities within that first act. And so the final end to that act tends is its whole moral truth. The traditional definition of evil as a privation of the good, lacking any essence of its own, in other words, what we would call in Gnosticism, evil is the shadow of the good. Evil is the shadow of Logos. It's not a thing in itself. It's the absence of the love and the light of the Father. It is also an assertion that when we say God is good, we are speaking of Him not only relative to his creation, but as he is in himself. All comes from God, and so evil cannot be a thing that comes from anywhere. Evil is, in every case, merely the defect whereby a substantial good is lost, belied, or resisted. For in every sense, being is act, and God, in his simplicity and infinite freedom, is what he does. He could not be the creator of anything substantially evil without evil also being part of the definition of who he essentially is, for he alone is the wellspring of all that exists. Jumping down the page on 71, Hart says, “God goes forth in all beings, and in all beings returns to himself.” That's how I describe as we all carry the Fullness of God within our being, and within every cell of our being. And since we are carrying the Fullness of God within us, we will have to return to the Fullness of God ultimately. We can't be lost in everlasting torment, because we are the Fullness of God, and God cannot torment itself. Hart says, God has no need of the world. He creates it not because he is dependent upon it, but because its dependency on him is a fitting expression of the bounty of his goodness. Doesn't that remind you of, in the beginning, the Father was alone, and he admired his goodness and beauty and love. He was full of love and beauty, and gave birth, so to speak—He emanated the Son. And the Son and the Father gave glory to one another. And in that giving of glory to one another, then the Son emanated the Fullness. And then in giving glory to one another in the Fullness and to the Son, the Fullness emanates us, the second order of powers. And it's all because you can't love without having an object to love, even if it's only in your own mind. Love requires an object of devotion, and giving glory is the reciprocal of love. We give glory because we were first loved. It's a fitting expression of the bounty of goodness, as Hart puts it. Then he goes on to say, This, however, also means that within the story of creation, viewed from its final cause, there can be no residue of the pardonably tragic, no irrecuperable or irreconcilable remainder left behind at the end of the tale. For if there were, this irreconcilable excess would also be something God has directly caused. Now, in our Gnostic gospel, there is a remnant “left behind at the end of the tale.” And that is the shadowy archons that were never a part of the original creation because they did not come from the “first cause” discussed earlier. The shadows of the Demiurge did not come from the Fullness or the fallen Aeon, but are only the absence of the qualities of that Aeon, this is why they are referred to as shadows. They are figments that do not have a reality outside of the Deficiency. Therefore, they have no home to return to in the Fullness of God. They are not from the Fullness. And he talks a bit about Hegel's system and dismisses it, and I'm not going to go into it. Hart says, The story Christians tell is of creation as God's sovereign act of love, neither adding to nor qualifying His eternal nature. And so it is also a story that leaves no room for an ultimate distinction between the universal truth of reason and the moral meaning of the particular, or for any distinction between the moral meaning of the particular and the moral nature of God. Only by insisting upon the universality of God's mercy could Paul, in Romans 11.32, liberate himself from the fear that the particularity of that mercy would prove to be an ultimate injustice, and that in judging His creatures, God would reveal Himself not as the good God of faithfulness and love, but as an inconstant God who can shatter His own covenants at will. Hart reminds us that down through the centuries, Christians have again and again subscribed to formulations of their faith that clearly reduce a host of cardinal Christian theological usages, most especially moral predicates like good, merciful, just, benevolent, loving, to utter equivocity, and that by association, reduce their entire grammar of Christian belief to meaninglessness. [On the next page, 75, he says], consider, to begin with the mildest of moral difficulties, how many Christians down the centuries have had to reconcile their consciences to the repellent notion that all humans are at conception already guilty of a transgression that condemns them justly to eternal separation from God and eternal suffering, and that in this doctrine's extreme form, every newborn infant belongs to a massa damnata, hateful in God's eyes from the first moment of existence. Hart loves to throw in Latin. Massa damnata obviously means that the masses would be damned. The very notion of an inherited guilt is a logical absurdity, rather on the order of a square circle. All that the doctrine can truly be taken to assert, speaking logically, is that God willfully imputes to innocent creatures a guilt they can never have really contracted out of what, from any sane perspective, can only be called malice. But this is just the beginning of the problem. For one broad, venerable stream of tradition, God, on the basis of this imputation, consigns the vast majority of the race to perpetual torment, including infants who die unbaptized. And may I point out that in Gnostic Christianity there is no inherited guilt at all because the Fall was not caused by the first humans, Adam and Eve, but occurred at the Aeonic level. Christianity carries a remnant of that understanding forward when it refers to “fallen angels,” but it does not connect the dots to realize their culpability in original sin. And then the theology of grace grows grimmer, for according to the great Augustinian tradition, since we are somehow born meriting not only death but eternal torment, we are enjoined to see and praise a laudable generosity in God's narrow choice to elect a small remnant for salvation, before and apart from any consideration of their concrete merits or demerits, and this further choice either to predestine or infallibly to surrender the vast remainder to everlasting misery. So it is that, for many Christians down the years, the rationale of evangelization has been a desperate race to save as many souls as possible from God. The time has really gotten away from us, and we've only touched the first meditation, so I hope you are enjoying this theology. It's theology, and I know that's difficult slog, but I'm sharing with you these thoughts because they comprise basically the sum total of Christian theology for the past 2,000 years, and it has gone through changes here and there. David Bentley Hart is a scholar of Eastern Orthodoxy and a scholar of religion and philosopher and so forth, and I think that he has very clear sight. So we'll pick this up one more time next week, and I promise we'll wrap it up. Onward and upward! God bless us all! This book gathers the essential insights of gnosis into a clear, approachable form. Gnosis can be as simple or as intricate as you choose to make it, but its heart is always accessible. A Simple Explanation guides you through the often tangled vocabulary and shifting landscapes of Gnostic thought, offering a path that is both illuminating and easy to follow. The glossary alone is a treasure—an indispensable reference for anyone exploring ancient Christian mysticism, the Nag Hammadi texts, or the deeper layers of spiritual philosophy.

The battle is over. Absalom is gone. The rebellion has collapsed. But the story is far from finished because now comes the part that is often harder than the conflict itself: The healing, what some today call the peace-building phase following war. David returns to Jerusalem, the tribes return to unity, and a nation begins returning to stability. But none of it happens cleanly or quickly, and none of it happens without tension.In this episode, we'll work through three key movements: 1. A King Who Must Rise from His Grief.2. Then A Nation That Must Choose Unity Again. 3. A Return Marked by Mercy, Justice, and Surprising Encounter. This chapter is not as dramatic as Chapter 18. It is not fast‑moving like chapter 17; it is quieter, more relational, more human. It shows us that healing a kingdom — or a family, or a friendship, or a community — requires humility, patience, courage, and grace. So today, we explore a chapter where the king returns, the people come together, and the long work of restoration begins.....

This is the chapter where the battle finally breaks out.

Send us a textToday, we move into a chapter where the real battle isn't fought with swords or armies — it's fought with counsel, with strategy, and with the unseen hand of God quietly shaping the outcome.This is the chapter where human wisdom on one level reaches its highest point… and yet still falls short of the purposes of God. It's where the most brilliant strategist in Israel gives flawless advice — and God overturns it with a word. It's where Absalom looks unstoppable — and yet the seeds of his downfall are already being sown. We're going to walk through this chapter today in three sections: 1. Ahithophel's Counsel — Brilliant, Ruthless, and Humanly Unbeatable. t is almost flawless. From heaven's perspective, it is already doomed. 2. Hushai's Counter‑Counsel. Then Hushai steps forward with a plan that appeals not to strategy, but to Absalom's ego. And in that moment, God bends the heart of a rebellious son towards choosing the wrong plan — the very thing that will save David's life. 3. The Escape — God's Protection of David. David is exhausted, vulnerable, and outnumbered — but he is not unprotected. This chapter is a helpful reminder that God does not need the odds in His favour to accomplish His will.  He simply speaks — and the counsel of the wise is overturned.Welcome to the episode…. Land Development Conversations with Developers, Builders, and Industry LeadersReal conversations from the development world.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showFollow and Support All my Creative endeavours on Patreon.
