The regiment's commissar realizes their defensive formation is actually a massive blood-sacrifice ritual designed by his own corrupted superiors. He must lead a rogue element of his troops into the heart of his own command structure to execute the generals.
Why God Commanded a Feast Instead of a Fundraiser Most Christians think of tithing as an obligation. But Deuteronomy 14 presents a very different picture. In this message, Lenny Esposito explores how God designed the tithe not merely to support ministry but to create worship, gratitude, fellowship, and celebration. Discover why giving helped Israel fear the Lord, care for others, support God's work, and rejoice in His blessings—and what that means for Christians today.

Using the Bible and Roman sources, Pastor teaches us about Centurions. In Sunday's message we met the Centurion, Cornelius. (See teaching here https://youtu.be/yjK_CB20Fk0) Acts 10:1-2 Cornelius was a centurion in the Italian Regiment. What we know about Centurions Backbone of the Roman Army Tested and dependable leaders Commanded 80-100 soldiers - 6 Centurions to a Cohort (600) and 10 Cohorts to a Legion (6000) Mentioned more that 20 times in the New Testament - Luke 7:1-10, Matthew 8:5-13, Matthew 27:54, Mark 15:39, Luke 23:47, Acts 10:1-7, Acts 21:32, Acts 22:25-29, Acts 23:17, Acts 23:23, Acts 24:23, Acts 27:1ff Viewed in very positive terms in the New Testament - Pastor speculates that these centurions shared their stories with each other and that knowing the stories influenced their actions toward believers Pastor closes with the proclamation of the centurion at the foot of Jesus' cross who said as Jesus died, "Surely he was the Son of God!"

1 Corinthians 1:10 (NLT) – “I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church; rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall reflects on the biblical command for local churches to function as a unified family. He discusses how the concept of the local church is sometimes undermined by "patronage systems" where people follow specific personalities rather than Christ. True spiritual enrichment happens when a church chooses to set aside quarrels and focus on shared goals. Pastor Sumrall explains that being "of one mind" is not about following a single human leader, but about being united in God-given thought and purpose. He reminds us that the tithes and offerings are intended to care for the household of God and provide for the spiritual needs of the community. By living in harmony and avoiding the trap of personalities, we ensure that the church remains a healthy place for all of God's family. ---- Don't forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon
Join as guest speaker Pastor Charlie Ferrera of River of Joy Christian Ministry & Family Fellowship in Manila, Philippines shows us evangelism isn't just a suggestion—it's a command from Christ, and following Him means we actually obey it. There's real urgency behind this, because eternity is at stake for every soul we come across, and that's not something we can afford to put off. This assignment has been entrusted to every believer, not just a select few, so winning souls is a responsibility we all share.

Israel is in crisis, living in fear and hiding due to Midianite raids. Despite their disobedience, God responds to their cries for help. The angel of the LORD appears to Gideon, calling him to save Israel. Gideon, initially doubtful, tests God's call and receives confirmation through miraculous signs. Commanded to destroy his father's altar to Baal, Gideon obeys, earning the nickname Jerubbaal. With just 300 men, God delivers a stunning victory over a vast Midianite coalition. However, Gideon's story concludes with a cautionary note as he leads Israel back into idolatry, continuing the cycle of disobedience. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

Join our hosts for Wednesday's show where we will be discussing: ‘Faith and Football' and ‘Human Sacrifice: Commanded by God?' Faith and Football: This World Cup shows striking moments of faith on the field, from players praying together after matches to public expressions of gratitude. But why does faith appear so powerfully in football? And why do fans often treat the game itself with almost religious devotion? Join us as we explore how football reveals a deeper human search: for identity, comfort, community and meaning. Human Sacrifice: Commanded by God? Human sacrifice was practised by many ancient civilisations, often in the name of religion. But was it truly commanded by God, or was it shaped by human beliefs, traditions, and even political motives? Join us as we delve into the history of human sacrifice, and how the true concept of sacrifice is one of faith, obedience, and devotion.

Crewing the Expedition and Erroneous Science. Guest Author: Hampton Sides. The mission involved two ships: the Resolution and the Discovery. Key officers included Charles Clerke, who commanded the Discovery while suffering from tuberculosis, and James King, a talented astronomer whom Cook mentored. Also on board were John Gore, an American-born veteran, and William Bligh, a brilliant but "insufferable" navigator who learned his craft directly from Cook. The voyage was partly motivated by the "open sea" theory of Daines Barrington, which falsely suggested that seawater could not freeze and that a path to the Northwest Passage would be ice-free if sailors stayed away from land. This wrongheaded science fueled the British Empire's obsession with finding a shorter route to Asia. 21784

Matthew 28:18-20 (NKJV) And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “ALL AUTHORITY has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and MAKE DISCIPLES of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, TEACHING THEM to observe all things that I HAVE COMMANDED you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. As a disciple of Jesus, for us to be effective, we've got to acknowledge GOD-ORDAINED AUTHORITY REQUIRES RESPONSIBILITY. In other words, when we fail to exercise our God-ordained authority, we basically limit God's predestined plan.

In Season 15 episode 2, Elixir Wizards Sundi Myint and Charles Suggs chat with Micah Cooper to talk about distributed systems, data replication, and what it actually looks like to build these ideas in Elixir. Micah shares his journey from Ruby to Elixir and walks us through Visor, a library he's building based on the Viewstamps replication algorithm. Inspired by systems like TigerBeetle, Visor explores how you can replicate state across nodes using GenServers, giving you fault tolerance and recovery without relying entirely on traditional database patterns. We talk about the difference between distributed systems and data replication, where things tend to get misunderstood, and what changes when you start thinking about state this way. The conversation also touches on event sourcing, tradeoffs in system design, and how Elixir's distributed model makes some of these concepts more approachable than you might expect. Along the way, we talk about building for curiosity, experimenting with new ideas, and how projects like this push the ecosystem forward. Topics discussed in this episode: Building Visor and working with the Viewstamps replication model Replicating GenServer state across nodes Distributed systems vs. data replication Lessons from TigerBeetle and financial system design Event sourcing challenges and tradeoffs Rethinking database-first architectures Snapshotting, recovery, and fault tolerance The role of Elixir's distributed model Experimentation, learning, and building for curiosity Links mentioned: Micah's GitHub https://github.com/mrmicahcooper Micah's GitLab https://gitlab.com/mrmicahcooper The Visor repository: https://gitlab.com/mrmicahcooper/visor Visor Hex Package https://hex.pm/packages/visor Ruby on Rails https://rubyonrails.org/ Phoenix LiveView Framework https://www.phoenixframework.org/ Zig Programming Language https://ziglang.org/ TigerBeetle https://tigerbeetle.com/ TigerBeetle internal docs https://github.com/tigerbeetle/tigerbeetle/tree/main/docs/internals The BEAM https://www.erlang-solutions.com/blog/the-beam-erlangs-virtual-machine/ GenServer https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/GenServer.html Apache Kafka https://github.com/apache/kafka RabbitMQ https://www.rabbitmq.com/ Redpanda https://www.redpanda.com/ SQL https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/structured-query-language Kubernetes https://kubernetes.io/ YAML https://yaml.org/ Nomad Workload Orchestrator https://developer.hashicorp.com/nomad Flutter https://flutter.dev/ Commanded https://hexdocs.pm/commanded/Commanded.html Go Programming Language https://go.dev/ Clojure Programming Language https://clojure.org/ Nebulex https://hexdocs.pm/nebulex/Nebulex.html Mnesia https://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/mnesia/mnesia.html Cachex https://hexdocs.pm/cachex/Cachex.html libgraph https://hexdocs.pm/libgraph/Graph.html Horde https://hexdocs.pm/horde/Horde.Registry.html NocFree split keyboard https://www.nocfree.com/ Micah's LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/micah-cooper-4a737560/

The USS Jeannette expedition (1879–1881) is remembered as one of the most tragic and compelling stories in maritime history, blending ambition, endurance, and survival against the odds. Financed by James Gordon Bennett Jr. and undertaken by the United States Navy, the expedition aimed to reach the North Pole via the Bering Strait in search of the theorized open polar sea. Commanded by George Washington De Long, a crew of 33 men departed San Francisco in 1879, only to become trapped in Arctic pack ice shortly after entering the polar region. For nearly two years, the Jeannette drifted helplessly across the frozen expanse before being crushed by ice in 1881, leaving the crew stranded on the drifting floes of the East Siberian Sea. What followed was a harrowing struggle for survival, as the men attempted to reach Siberia in three small boat parties after becoming separated in a violent storm. Ultimately, only 13 survived, while De Long and many others perished in the unforgiving Siberian wilderness. The historical record was preserved through De Long's recovered logbooks, and this story of polar exploration, shipwreck, and human endurance offers an exhaustive account of one of history's most ill-fated Arctic expeditions. Much of the research for this 2-part series comes from George De Long's extensive records.

What makes people pay a lot of attention to some wars and crises, but not others? And what does that attention actually do for the people in those situations? We're looking at Sudan, which has entered its fourth year of a civil war this week. But, unlike in Gaza, the violence and famine there has struggled to break through headlines in the U.S. We talk to Sudanese journalist Isma'il Kushkush, political scientist Scott Strauss, Sudan expert Alexander de Waal, and political scientist Mai Hassan.To manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee reviews the extremely difficult topic of genocide, seemingly commanded by God, within the Torah. How is any Bible reader to best sort through this matter? This is then followed by a review of important stories and issues from the past day or so, largely witnessed on social media.
"And you shall command ..." the week's Torah portion starts. Commands, vows, and promises powerfully elevate ideas by eliminating alternative options. A thing is the only thing we may do, or must not do. Beyond his - as God did with Moses this week – He also chooses to put us as humans into positions in which we must issue commands, and make or stand by promises or vows. We explore this way of God communicating with us in Torah Portion, "Tetzaveh."

Faithful little steps that give your brain something solid to hold onto. Proof that says, We've done hard things before. We can do this again. Confidence isn't the prerequisite. It's the fruit of showing up long before you feel ready. Most of us stay stuck because we're waiting to feel qualified, healed, calm, or magically fearless. We dress it up and call it wisdom, strategy, or “just praying about it a little longer.” But deep down, we know the truth: that perfect, confident moment we're hoping for never actually arrives. Confidence doesn't get you moving. Courage does. Confident women don't start being confident. They start wobbly, unsure, and a little sweaty. They take the next right step anyway. Over time, they build a history of bravery. A stack of real-life evidence that whispers, I survived that uncomfortable thing. I can do the next one too. And that evidence, not a quote or a pep talk, is what finally grows confidence that lasts.

GENERAL SPAATZ AND THE ETHICS OF BOMBING Colleague Evan Thomas. The conversation turns to General Carl "Tooey" Spaatz, who commanded the air war in the Pacific and demanded written orders before dropping the atomic bomb. Unlike the pragmatic Curtis LeMay, Spaatz was a proponent of precision bombing and was deeply troubled by the killing of civilians. The segment recounts the execution of the atomic missions, noting that while the Hiroshima drop went smoothly, the Nagasaki mission flown by Charles Sweeney was "snake bit," plagued by fuel issues and cloud cover that nearly caused the mission to fail.
