Podcasts about city of man

Pope Leo's new encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, includes two striking Biblical images, the construction of the tower of Babel and the rebuilding of Jerusalem. The fact that he presents the City of Man and the City of God as two realities under construction is very striking, and worth thinking on. This episode doesn't begin to exhaust the images, but it hopefully prompts more reflection!

Read Online“So do not worry and say, ‘What are we to eat?' or ‘What are we to drink?' or ‘What are we to wear?' All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.” Matthew 6:31–34In the fifth century, Saint Augustine wrote The City of God, one of the most important works in Catholic thought and Western philosophy. In it, he contrasted the Christian “City of God” with the pagan “City of Man,” responding to those who blamed Christianity for the decline of the Roman Empire. He writes: “Thus, two cities have been formed by two loves: the earthly city by a love of self to the point of contempt for God, and the heavenly city by a love of God to the point of contempt for self. The former glories in itself, while the latter glories in the Lord.” (XIV.28)At the time, the once-mighty Roman Empire was in steady decline, and many falsely attributed its downfall to the rise of Christianity. Augustine, however, defended the faith, offering a profound theological and philosophical exposition of history, divine providence, and the ultimate destiny of humanity. By contrasting these two fundamental orientations of civilization—the City of Man, built on self-love and earthly glory, and the City of God, founded on divine love and eternal truth—Augustine illuminated the true path to human flourishing and salvation.Augustine's words echo Christ's teaching in today's Gospel, offering clarity and encouragement to the faithful of his time who labored to build up the growing Catholic Church. Today, his insights remain just as relevant, guiding the Church amid a world increasingly consumed by materialism and secular values.Which “city” is more attractive to you? If we are to truly build the City of God—or the Kingdom of God, as Jesus calls it—we must remain vigilant against the many secular influences that pull us away from the Gospel and the work of building God's Kingdom.As Jesus teaches, the pagans seek and worry about the things of this world, often at the expense of what is eternal. Yet our Heavenly Father knows our needs, and so we must cultivate an interior disposition of trust in His providence. While we are called to act responsibly, providing diligently for ourselves and our families, we must ultimately recognize that it is God who sustains us when we cooperate with His will. We must do so without fear.Jesus does not condemn responsible stewardship of material goods; rather, He warns against worldly anxiety. As a fundamental disposition, we must always “seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness.” When we do so, “all these things will be given you besides.” In other words, if our greatest love is to build God's Kingdom in our hearts, our families, and our society, we can trust that He will provide for our needs, freeing us to focus entirely on His divine work.Jesus concludes today's Gospel with consoling words: “Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.” This is not a license for imprudence or irresponsibility, as if we are called to live a carefree life without foresight. Rather, it is an invitation to trust in divine providence, living in confidence that when our primary concern is God and His will each day, He will provide for our needs in due measure.Reflect today on whether you truly “seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness.” The best way to discern this is to prayerfully examine the deepest desires of your heart. When your desire is for God's Kingdom, you will experience peace and interior order. When your heart clings to worldly concerns, you will be anxious and burdened by many things. Strive to order your desires properly, and God will lavish upon you all that is good and necessary for a joyful participation in the glorious and eternal City of God.Most glorious King, You came to establish Your Kingdom in our hearts, our families, and our world. Too often, I fail to recognize its glory and instead labor to build an earthly city of passing pleasure, wealth, and comfort. Draw me ever closer to You, Lord, and open my eyes of faith, that I may seek only Your will and become a true instrument of the Kingdom You desire to establish. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Jesus at the Sermon on the Mount, by August MüllerSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

Daniel 7:1-14

In this reflection on Ecclesiastes 8:1–9, the Teacher wrestles with the complicated relationship between wisdom, authority, and faithful living. While Scripture calls believers to respect and pray for governing authorities, the Bible also shows prophets confronting unjust leaders, reminding us that our ultimate allegiance belongs to Christ rather than any earthly power. Drawing from examples like Nathan confronting David and Augustine's reflections in The City of God, the devotion explores the tension of living as citizens of both the “city of man” and the “City of God.” Christians are called to work for the good and flourishing of their communities, but politics, patriotism, or civic identity can never bear the full weight of the soul. Only Jesus can serve as the true foundation of meaning and identity, and faithful civic engagement should flow from that deeper allegiance to Christ.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Synopsis: The unity of man is potent and when used idolatrously for man's self-glory leads to potent rebellion and sin. God frustrates the false unity of mankind, scattering them and confusing their religion and language to weaken their rebellion. The antidote to the confused babel of man is the harmonious word of Christ. Sermon Text: Genesis 11:1-9

3/8/26

What does it look like to live as a citizen of heaven while serving on assignment in a world that resists God's Truth? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains why speaking Truth is part of the Christian's calling—especially when leaders or systems pressure people to violate God's Word. Yet this boldness is never rooted in self-righteousness. Believers stand with humility, praying for leaders and lovingly pointing others to Christ—the only One who can truly set anyone free. To illustrate what faithful living looks like in the “City of Man,” Dr. Youssef takes us to Daniel 1:1–16, where Daniel and his friends—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—model courageous obedience in a hostile environment. Sometimes their tests seemed small (even what was placed in front of them at the king's table). Other times, obedience carried deadly cost—lions' dens and fiery furnaces. Yet their stance remained the same: no compromise, full trust in God's outcome. This devotional will challenge you to: stand firm when pressured to conform, speak Truth with grace and conviction, trust God with the results of obedience, and lift high the cross of Christ as His ambassador—no matter the cost.

Why do so many Christians start strong—only to slowly settle into comfort, distraction, and spiritual compromise? In today's MY Devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds us that believers are citizens of the City of God, living temporarily in the City of Man with a mission: to urge the lost to turn from sin and receive eternal life in Jesus Christ. Yet many who once lived with heaven in view end up falling in love with the very world they were sent to reach. Dr. Youssef unpacks five reasons this spiritual drift happens—and how to guard your heart: A false view of heaven that makes eternity seem dull instead of glorious, Worldly pressures (pain, loss, responsibilities) that steal your focus, Living by sight, where the visible crowds out what's eternal, Muddled teaching that confuses self-sacrifice with self-satisfaction, False doctrine that blurs the Truth about salvation, heaven, and hell—draining urgency from the Christian race. This episode will help you regain eternal perspective, recognize subtle distractions, and live with a clear-eyed passion for Christ—serving faithfully now while remembering the better City that is to come.

Why does life feel heavier as a society becomes more “advanced”? The Bible answers with startling clarity. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef opens Genesis 11:1–9 and the Tower of Babel—where humanity tried to build a future without God, chasing self-glory instead of surrender. That ancient defiance isn't just history; it mirrors what we see across the modern West: a culture bowing to materialism, moral relativism, and political correctness—then reaping confusion, anxiety, and loneliness. But God didn't leave humanity without a light. Dr. Youssef points to Abraham, a man living in the “City of Man” while longing for the City of God—“a city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God” (Hebrews 11:10). Abraham's faith didn't ignore darkness; it overcame it. And God's promise to Abraham didn't end with him—through his line came Jesus Christ, the Savior who purchased our eternal home by His blood (Genesis 12:3). If you're weary from the headlines or discouraged by cultural decline, this devotional will help you lift your eyes and live with steady hope—setting your mind where Christ is and where history is headed.

The sermon presents Genesis 4 as the foundational moment of the 'city of man'—a society born from rebellion, exile, and covenantal defiance, initiated by Cain's murder of Abel and his subsequent expulsion from the covenant community. Central to this theme is the contrast between the city of God, rooted in divine covenants, faith, and the worship of the true God, and the city of man, which arises from human autonomy, self-righteousness, and the rejection of God's authority, even as it mimics the structures of order, family, and craftsmanship. The text emphasizes that the city of man, though capable of building cities, developing arts, and organizing society, remains fundamentally unstable, alienated, and cursed, as its achievements are devoid of spiritual life and ultimately serve to oppose God's kingdom. The sermon underscores that true societal order is only possible through divine covenant, and that the church's role is to maintain discipline, mark off the unrepentant, and stand as a living witness to God's truth, even amid the world's persistent hostility. Ultimately, the city of man is a paradox: it functions through human covenanting and cooperation, yet it is built on a foundation of rebellion and will be transformed only by the redemptive power of God's grace.

We're back in Genesis! This week we land in Genesis 11 and the story of the Tower of Babel. Follow along as Pastor Matt explains how our attempts to build the perfect life without the Lord always end in confusion and dissatisfaction.

Host Chez Filippini welcomes Dr. Luke Arredondo back to continue their conversation on Catholic Social Teachings.

Death comes for everyone. For the Christian, death is the passage into eternal life; but, what about for the Pagan? Alex Denley and Dr. Andrew Jones discuss the problem of death for pagan regimes. Using St. Augustine's "City of God," they discuss Cain's murder of Abel, the founding of the city by violence, the inferior law of violence, and the overturning of death by Christ. If you want to read ahead, next up is Plato's "Republic."

Much like the Edomites, we occasionally fall short. We are susceptible to the enemy's temptations and addictions, and we may find ourselves trapped in sin. But is it too late for you to return to God? In today's message, Pastor Ken addresses the need for repentance and seeking forgiveness. When you identify your shortcomings, you can repent and seek forgiveness from God through Jesus Christ. God is always willing to forgive and accept you back. Are you willing to identify and work on your flaws?

You might have heard the term "There is a consequence to everything." Even though God has a compassionate heart, when we sin, we must face His judgment. But do you know how to repent for your sins? Pastor Ken explains in today's message, how you can be saved from God's wrath. When you put your faith in Jesus and receive salvation, He gives you the ability to repent and ask the Father for forgiveness for your sins. When you are forgiven for your sins, you are spared from God's anger and punishment!

Have you ever wondered why God has a unique relationship with Israel? You can observe how the Bible talks about God, redeeming the people of Israel from their sins on several occasions. But do you know what other plans He has for Israel? In today's message, Pastor Ken explores the millennial earth. When the judgment period ends, God will build a new earth for you to live on. On the millennial earth, God will make His permanent residence in the temple of Israel, where He will reside forever!

Genesis 4 contains the first murder in human history. It did not take long after the Fall and the Curse for the children of Adam to be enmeshed in sin, pride, disobedience, and false worship. Cain killed Abel, but the Lord still showed him mercy. Lamech, the first bigamist, boasted in killing a young man. The offspring of the woman appears all but lost. But the Lord revealed hope to humanity by giving another offspring, and through it, a better blood.

But the Lord revealed hope to humanity by giving another offspring, and through it, a better blood.

In this passage, there are two family lines leading to two cities: The city of man is where our earthly citizenship is and the city of God is the heavenly city. And believers must learn to live in both. How do we do that? This passage teaches us to us cling to this faithful God, not only as the way to become citizens of the city of God, but it also to spend our days in this earthly city of man offering ourselves to him. In this message, we  learn this by seeing the characteristics of these two cities, then by exploring what it looks like to live in them both.

Worship is why we are here.When God made us, he created us in his image to worship him. Yet, fallen in Adam, we will not worship God rightly unless God makes us worship him rightly.Indeed, this is a major point in Genesis 4. The chapter begins with worship, as Adam's children bring sacrifices to God. And the chapter ends with worship, as Seth calls upon the name of the Lord. And in between, the story of Cain's family line is also about worship . . . if we have eyes to see.This Sunday, we will see how Cain's city-building project is one that exalts the glory of man, not the glory of God. Likewise, the music that fills Genesis 4:17–24 is a testimony to the way humans will sing praise to what they love most. And unless and until God intervenes and gives them a new song, they will sing praises to themselves about themselves.Even for the church of Jesus Christ, we need the grace of God and the truth of his Spirit to lead us to worship God rightly and righteously. And more, we need the Word of God to teach how we are to worship God. Wonderfully, we have already been taught that worship centers on Jesus Christ and is empowered by the Spirit of Truth. Because Father has given us the Son and the Spirit, we can gather in confidence that our praises will be accepted and pleasing to him. And in that confidence, we will gather for worship on Sunday. To prepare for Sunday, please read Genesis 4, Psalm 33, and John 4. These passages come together to teach how to worship God truly. And on Sunday, as the Lord allows, I will look forward to gathering with you to do just that. For His Glory and your joy in Jesus,Pastor David--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Discussion & Response Questions (Genesis 4:17 – 26)What have we seen so far in Genesis 4? How does the place of the story inform the context? What about the people (i.e., the two seeds)?Where does Genesis 4:17–24 take place? How does that inform our understanding of the passage?What does the building of a city indicate? In Scripture, who is renowned for building cities (see Gen. 10:11; 11:4–8; Exod. 1:11; Num. 13:22)? Who is renowned for building altars (Gen. 8:20; Gen. 12:7–8; 22:9; 26:5; 35:7; Exod. 17:5; 24:4)?If city-building is an evidence of unbelief, what do we discover about the other products invented / created in Genesis 4?What does the building of a city suggest about the people in Cain's family? What do their names indicate?What is the story of Lamech? In what ways does this serve as a warning to us?Compare the teaching of Jesus in relationship to Lamech (Matt 18:21-22). What do you notice?What is the Christian ethic when it comes to revenge and justice? Consider Romans 12:17-13:4.The passage finishes with a return to Adam, Eve, and Seth. What does it mean to call upon the name of the Lord? And how does the wickedness of Lamech relate?What do we learn about worship in Genesis 4? And how should we prioritize our lives accordingly?What are you building? And where are you putting your trust?

Babel is the prototypical city of man: rebellious, prideful, exalting itself against God, and pursuing autonomy and self-sufficiency apart from him. Instead of filling the earth as God commanded, the Babelites settle in one place and try to make a name for themselves. We have capacity to do the exact same thing.

Sermon on Genesis 10:1-11:9 preached on April 2, 2023 by Nathan Lugbill.

Paul Axton preaches - The book of Philemon is a worked example of the implication of the gospel in that the slave/master relationship is displaced in the church by the koinonia of brothers and sisters. Yet this obvious implication of the gospel, worked out in Philemon, is rejected as is indicated in the reception of the book and the continuation of slavery among Christians. This may be because the implication of the gospel is a complete overturning of the city, the law, and the economy of the the city of man. Become a Patron!
