The Book of Revelation provides us with a wondrous vision today.   There are loud voices in heaven saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever” [Ch.11 v.15].   Then the elders fall on their faces and worship saying, “We give thanks to you Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, for you have taken your great power and begun to reign.  The nations raged, but your wrath came and the time for the dead to be judged and for rewarding your servants the prophets and saints. And those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth” [v.17/18]What a day of incredible thanksgiving this will be.   We should see the present human celebrations surrounding the Christmas period for all its emptiness.  What are people giving thanks for today?  It is the passing ‘pleasure' of the moment!   The children enjoy themselves and we recall Paul's observation “When I was a child … I reasoned like a child. When I became a man I gave up childish ways.” [1 Cor. 13 v.11]. Paul also said, “remember … Jesus how he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive'” [Acts 20 v.35] – we must teach our children this principle.  Do any of the children in the world (or their parents) learn anything real about Jesus? It seems impossible to think so, but God knows. Wherever opportunity offers we should “speak a word in season” to help them to do so.  It is interesting that only twice in the Bible is there any mention of celebrating birthdays – and both were those of bad men! [Genesis 40 v.20 – Pharaoh] and [Matthew 12 v.6 – Herod, when John the Baptist lost his head].  The heaven inspired celebration to come will be wondrous, but until that time true believers celebrate not the birthday of Jesus, but his sacrifice and death in the way he appointed [Luke 22 v.15-20], believing in a wondrous climax to that celebration in the kingdom.This wondrous event, called “the marriage supper of the Lamb” is also mentioned in Revelation [19 v.6-9] “Blessed are those who are invited” to that celebration which is far beyond us to imagine!  Do you believe you are worthy of receiving an invitation?  No?  It will be only by his grace!  But who is worthy?  It is interesting that the Gk word for ‘worthy' is one of the words  which occur seven times in the book – but only its first occurrence (ch, 3 v.4) is one that indicates saints that are worthy of receiving a  blessing before God; the last (ch. 16 v.6) is about those unworthy. Once again, the broad and narrow ways – make sure you on the “rewarding” pathway of the “worthy” in 2021

What if prayer was never meant to be a religious performance—and prophecy was never meant to be scary?In this Christmas Eve episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, Cory and Channock reflect on five years of podcasting and dive into Cory's eBook How to Pray and Prophesy in the New Covenant. Together, they reframe prayer and prophecy through the lens of union, showing how both flow naturally from awareness, relationship, and love—not fear, formulas, or pressure.This conversation is an invitation to slow down during the holidays and rediscover prayer as something you live, not something you try to get right.You'll hear:

En Corée du Sud, un monument classé au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco pourrait être exclu de cette prestigieuse liste. En cause, le projet du maire de la capitale coréenne de construire d'immenses tours de 142 mètres de haut, juste à côté du monument. Un projet qui serait contraire à la nomenclature de l'Unesco. En plein cœur de Séoul, 600 ans d'histoire se font face sur le boulevard Jongno. Nous sommes devant l'entrée du sanctuaire de Jongmyo, un complexe de pavillons en bois datant du XIVe siècle abritant les reliques des rois coréens. Le chantier de tours à proximité du site pourrait nuire à sa mise en valeur, d'après Kim Anji, conservatrice au service du patrimoine coréen. « Ce qui nous inquiète le plus, c'est le dommage potentiel à la valeur du sanctuaire. C'est un site sacré construit en harmonie avec la nature. Construire une tour à côté, entre 100 à 200 mètres de haut, comme la tour Montparnasse à Paris, cela serait entacher un patrimoine resté intact depuis des siècles », déplore-t-elle. Inscrit depuis 1995 au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco, le monument pourrait être retiré de la liste si le chantier se poursuit, avertit l'organisation internationale dans une lettre adressée à la mairie, restée sans réponse. Mais il reste difficile d'arrêter le chantier du maire Oh Se-hoon à cause d'un vide juridique concernant la protection du patrimoine, selon Kim Anji. « L'amendement de la loi de protection du patrimoine mondial, votée en novembre 2024, stipule que les projets immobiliers à proximité de ces sites doivent faire l'objet d'une étude d'impact sur le patrimoine. Mais le décret d'application de cette loi n'a jamais été signé », regrette-t-elle. « Des quartiers entiers ont été rasés » avec le développement urbain La conservation du patrimoine est une affaire compliquée en Corée du Sud. Dans l'effervescence du miracle économique d'après-guerre, le pays s'est habitué à raser ses monuments pour laisser place aux bâtiments modernes, comme l'explique Jack Greenberg, chercheur en urbanisme. « En général, à cause de la manière dont le développement urbain s'est réalisé, des quartiers entiers ont été rasés, il n'en reste rien. Une grande partie du bâti a aussi été détruite pour des raisons politiques, notamment les édifices de la période coloniale japonaise afin d'effacer certaines parties de l'histoire », explique-t-il. Le service du patrimoine coréen et le ministère de la Culture ont annoncé qu'ils utiliseraient tous les recours possibles pour mettre à l'arrêt le chantier devant le sanctuaire de Jongmyo.

Color: Blue Old Testament: Isaiah 40:1–8 Old Testament: Isaiah 40:1–11 Psalm: Psalm 85; antiphon: v. 9 Epistle: 1 Corinthians 4:1–5 Gospel: Matthew 11:2–11 Gospel: Matthew 11:2–10 Introit: Psalm 85:1–2, 6, 8; antiphon: Philippians 4:4–5 Gradual: Psalm 80:1–2 Verse: Psalm 80:2b John the Baptizer Prepares the Way for the Lord   The voice of the Baptizer cried out in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord . . .” (Isa. 40:1). John called the people to be made ready for the Messiah's coming through repentance, for “all flesh is grass” (Isa. 40:6). Now He asks from prison, “Are you the one who is to come . . .?” (Matt. 11:2). Jesus' works bear witness that He is. The sick are made well; the dead are raised, and the poor have the Gospel preached to them. Their iniquity is pardoned; they have received from the Lord's hand double forgiveness for all their sins. The “stewards of the mysteries of God” (1 Cor. 4:1) still deliver Christ's overflowing forgiveness to the poor in spirit, comforting God's people with the word of the Gospel which stands forever. This Gospel produces rejoicing among all those who believe. Lectionary summary © 2021 The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. Used by permission. http://lcms.org/worship

You're a Spirit being living in a world of the unseen. Jesus lives in you, and the Spirit can fill you completely—so fear changes, and what you fear today can disappear as you walk with God, whose life is eternal. Healing and love reside inside you; seek Him with all your heart and you will find Him (Jer 29:13; Deut 6:5). The more you walk in the Spirit, the more the spiritual realm becomes real. You are being transformed into His image (2 Cor 3:18), entrusted with the ministry of glory by mercy.The Spirit Realm Is Your Real World | Prophet Ezekiah FrancisWatch in English https://youtube.com/live/o9MgOVdjBxsWatch in Tamil (தமிழ்) https://youtube.com/live/PrEv8OxppAgWatch in Hindi (हिंदी) https://youtube.com/live/5NNPd8FhDHMWatch in Telugu (తెలుగు) https://youtube.com/live/CHWCdAqZfxwWatch in Malayalam (മലയാളം) https://youtube.com/live/lH3LCuArZpkWatch in Kannada (ಕನ್ನಡ) https://youtube.com/live/8Rp9UmXT4TY

TEMPO DE REFLETIR 01622 – 23 de dezembro de 2025 II Coríntios 13:14 – A graça do Senhor Jesus Cristo, o amor de Deus e a comunhão do Espírito Santo sejam com todos vocês. Graça não é o mesmo que amor. Ao concluir a Segunda Carta aos Coríntios, Paulo fez distinção entre o amor de Deus e a graça do Senhor Jesus Cristo. A graça possui um enfoque mais específico do que o amor. O amor é geral; a graça é o mesmo que deve demonstrar amor àqueles que não merecem, oferecer livremente, perdoar e conceder vida nova. A graça sempre nos conecta a Jesus. Ele é “cheio de graça”, a personificação da graça. Ele é a demonstração divina, a revelação do caráter de Deus – o Todo-Poderoso que tomou a forma de servo, o Mantenedor do Universo que Se submeteu à cruz para nos libertar da culpa e do poder do pecado e nos conceder vida eterna. Amor e graça. Essas duas palavras tiveram trajetórias totalmente diferentes na história. Uma se tornou sinônimo de uma vasta gama de emoções e experiências; a outra permanece pura, imaculada. Uma foi falsificada, ganhou conotações negativas; a outra ainda é positiva, uma linda palavra. Pense no modo como usamos a palavra “amor” hoje. Amo comer laranjas. Amo meu cachorro. Amo futebol. Amo meu amigo. Amo meu cônjuge. Amo a Deus. Apenas uma palavra! Mas a maneira como nos relacionamos com as laranjas (ou torta de maçã ou macarronada) é totalmente diferente da maneira como nos relacionamos com o nosso cônjuge, sem falar de como nos relacionamos com Deus. Nossa geração se tornou aficionada por sexo. Explora-se o corpo humano, especialmente o corpo feminino, devido ao insensível interesse comercial, à manipulação e ao estímulo à sensualidade. Para muitas pessoas, usadas e abusadas ou rejeitadas pela exploração da sexualidade, “amor” é apenas uma palavra de quatro letras. Enquanto isso, a graça permanece. Não se desgastou, por mais que o hino “Graça Excelsa” tenha sido entoado. Não imergiu no cinismo. Por incrível que pareça, numa época em que a linguagem é distorcida, colocada de cabeça para baixo e invertida, a graça permanece. Será que é porque a graça sempre nos conecta a Jesus? Ele é sempre novo, sempre puro, sempre amável. Reflita sobre isso no dia de hoje e ore comigo agora: Pai, que essa maravilhosa graça me abrace agora e a cada um destes que me ouvem neste instante. Que o Teu perdão generoso e o Teu abraço confortador nos acompanhem neste dia. Em nome de Jesus, amém!

The Reasons for the Season, Pt. 3                                                 “Why the God-Man?”                  Hebrews 2:14-18 To Destroy Death and the Devil (vv. 14-15) Jo. 1:1-3, 14  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made... 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son[a] from the Father, full of grace and truth. Lu. 1:52-53a 52 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate; 53 he has filled the hungry with good things,  To Sacrifice for Sin (vv. 16-17) 1 Cor. 15:54-57 54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” 55 “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Psa. 103:13-14 13 As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. 14 For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. Our God made us, loves us and takes pity on us. 

Judgement Chapter 32 — Paragraph 1 God has appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in righteousness, by Jesus Christ;1 to whom all power and judgment is given of the Father; in which day, not only the apostate angels shall be judged,2 but likewise all persons that have lived upon the earth shall appear before the tribunal of Christ, to give an account of their thoughts, words, and deeds, and to receive according to what they have done in the body, whether good or evil.3 1 Acts 17:31; John 5:22–27 2 1 Cor. 6:3; Jude 6 3 2 Cor. 5:10; Eccles. 12:14; Matt. 12:36; Rom. 14:10,12; Matt. 25:32–46 — Paragraph 2 The end of God's appointing this day, is for the manifestation of the glory of his mercy, in the eternal salvation of the elect; and of his justice, in the eternal damnation of the reprobate, who are wicked and disobedient;4 for then shall the righteous go into everlasting life, and receive that fulness of joy and glory with everlasting rewards, in the presence of the Lord; but the wicked, who do not know God, and do not obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, shall be cast aside into everlasting torments,5 and punished with everlasting destruction, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.6 4 Rom. 9:22–23 5 Matt. 25:21,34; 2 Tim. 4:8 6 Matt. 25:46; Mark 9:48; 2 Thess. 1:7–10 — Paragraph 3 As Christ would have us to be certainly persuaded that there shall be a day of judgment, both to deter all men from sin,7 and for the greater consolation of the godly in their adversity,8 so will he have the day unknown to men, that they may shake off all carnal security, and be always watchful, because they know not at what hour the Lord will come,9 and may ever be prepared to say, Come Lord Jesus; come quickly.10 Amen. 7 2 Cor. 5:10–11 8 2 Thess. 1:5–7 9 Mark 13:35–37; Luke 12:35–40 10 Rev. 22:20

The Suffering of the Apostle Paul      The apostle Paul's ministry was marked by unrelenting hardship, yet God used these very trials as a means of shaping his character and magnifying His glory. In recounting his experiences to the Corinthians, Paul detailed the many afflictions he endured: imprisonments, countless beatings, stoning, shipwrecks, exposure to danger, hunger, thirst, sleepless nights, and the daily pressure of concern for the churches (2 Cor 11:23–28). Such a catalog of suffering would have crushed many, but Paul recognized that his hardships were not wasted. Rather than viewing his trials as setbacks, he understood them as instruments of God's providence, divinely appointed means through which his faith was refined and his ministry authenticated. His endurance in these circumstances demonstrated that his message was not driven by human strength or ambition but by the power of God working through a frail but faithful servant. These sufferings kept him humble, dependent, and keenly aware that the surpassing greatness of the gospel treasure was carried in “earthen vessels” (2 Cor 4:7).      Even more, Paul interpreted his sufferings as opportunities to display Christ's strength in his own weakness. When he pleaded for relief from his “thorn in the flesh,” the Lord answered, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness” (2 Cor 12:9). Paul therefore embraced his afflictions, declaring, “Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me” (2 Cor 12:9–10). This paradoxical perspective enabled him to rejoice even in chains, as he assured the Philippians that his imprisonment had actually served to advance the gospel by emboldening others to preach Christ without fear (Phil 1:12–14). For Paul, trials were not obstacles but opportunities, occasions for God's grace to shine through human frailty and for the gospel to reach further than ease and comfort ever could. His life exemplifies the truth that spiritual maturity and that God's power is most clearly displayed when His servants, emptied of self, depend wholly on Him. The Suffering of the Saints Mentioned in Hebrews 11      The writer of Hebrews speaks of a “cloud of witnesses” who testify through their lives that faith can endure under the most severe trials (Heb 11:35–38). These men and women of old faced unimaginable hardships, including mocking, flogging, chains, imprisonment, and even violent death, yet they refused to abandon their trust in God. Some, like Jeremiah, were beaten and confined in stocks (Jer 20:2), while others, such as Daniel and his companions, were threatened with fiery furnaces and lions' dens but held firm to their convictions (Dan 3:16–18; 6:10). Tradition also recalls prophets who were sawn in two or killed with the sword, giving their lives rather than compromise their loyalty to Yahweh. What unites these witnesses is not the uniformity of their circumstances but the constancy of their faith. Though their earthly stories often ended in suffering rather than triumph, their lives bear permanent testimony to the sustaining power of God's promises. They form a great gallery of the faithful whose examples surround and encourage believers to run with endurance the race set before them (Heb 12:1).      Though their faith was tested to its limits, these saints looked beyond their temporal struggles and fixed their gaze on God's eternal reward. They lived as pilgrims and strangers on the earth, confessing that they sought a better country, that is, a heavenly one, prepared by God Himself (Heb 11:13–16). Their perspective was not limited to deliverance in this life but extended to resurrection and future glory. Women, like the widow of Zarephath and the Shunammite woman, received back their dead by resurrection (1 Kgs 17:22–23; 2 Kgs 4:35–37), yet others accepted death rather than deny the hope of “a better resurrection” (Heb 11:35). This eschatological outlook sustained them through unimaginable suffering, for they knew that God's approval and eternal inheritance outweighed every earthly loss. Their faith was not naive optimism but a settled confidence in the character and promises of God, who “is a rewarder of those who seek Him” (Heb 11:6). In this way, their testimony continues to inspire believers today to endure hardship, remembering that the path of faith often winds through suffering, but it ultimately leads to the eternal presence and reward of God. When Believers Fail to Live by Faith      There are examples in the Bible where mature believers struggled to maintain faith during intense trials. In Numbers, Moses became overwhelmed with his leadership and expressed despair, saying, “I alone am not able to carry all this people, because it is too burdensome for me. So if You are going to deal thus with me, please kill me at once” (Num 11:14-15a). Similarly, Elijah, after his triumph on Mount Carmel, fled from Jezebel and asked God to let him die because he felt overwhelmed and alone. Elijah said, “It is enough; now, O LORD, take my life, for I am not better than my fathers” (1 Ki 19:4).      These instances highlight the very human responses of exhaustion, fear, and despair in some of God's greatest servants. They remind us that enduring trials is difficult and that even the most faithful can struggle to keep perspective in the face of overwhelming circumstances. However, these stories also show God's compassion and provision. God did not condemn Moses or Elijah for their despair; instead, He provided for their needs, reassured them, and continued to work through them. God's response to their struggles illustrates His understanding of human frailty and His willingness to sustain His people even when their faith falters. In a way, these moments of struggle also contribute to their spiritual growth, as God uses these low points to teach them, recalibrate their thinking to focus on His power and promises, and prepare them for the next steps in their journeys.      Lastly, we cannot prevent the difficulties of life that come our way, but we can respond to them in faith, trusting God and His Word to guide and strengthen us. We know that “God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Rom 8:28). Whatever happens to us, we must fight the urge to complain, for if we start that, it becomes increasingly difficult to turn back. Complaining is not a problem solving device, and Scripture tells us to “Do all things without complaining or arguing” (Phil 2:14; cf., 1 Pet 4:9). As difficult as it may be, we must chose a faith response to “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; and in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Th 5:16-18). When emotions rise, faith must rise even higher, for it is only through faith in God and His Word that growth occurs. Accept God's Trials.      Paul wrote, “we exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope” (Rom 5:3-4). James said, “Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing” (Jam 1:2-4 CSB). The Lord uses the fire of trials to burn away the dross of our weak character and to refine those golden qualities consistent with His character. The growing believer learns to praise God in and for the trials, knowing He uses them to strengthen our faith and develop us into spiritually mature Christians. Trials can make us bitter or better, depending on how we respond to them. In the right conditions, time and pressure can shape a Christian much as it shapes carbon into a diamond. Wiersbe states: "The greatest judgment God could bring to a believer would be to let him alone, let him have his own way. Because God loves us, He “prunes” us and encourages us to bear more fruit for His glory. If the branches could speak, they would confess that the pruning process hurts; but they would also rejoice that they will be able to produce more and better fruit."[1]      The Lord wants His child to have strength of character, steel in the soul, and not timidity. He leads the Christian into situations and hardships that resist comfort and develop spiritual muscle. He does not hesitate to place them in situations that lie beyond their natural strength, for only in being stretched to face the humanly impossible does the believer learn to trust in the Lord, gain confidence, and discover that divine power is made perfect in weakness.      God uses trials, suffering, and hardships as His chosen instruments to shape, strengthen, and prepare those He intends to use. Rather than shielding His servants from pain, He hammers, molds, and bends them—never breaking them but transforming them into vessels fit for His highest purposes. For the Christian, then, suffering is not meaningless. It is God's tool of refinement, His instrument for shaping souls into vessels of honor. The fires that seem to consume us are in fact controlled flames in the hand of a wise and loving Father. The Christian who learns to see trial as part of God's gracious purpose can echo Paul's triumphant words: “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing… always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body” (2 Cor 4:8–10).      From a biblical perspective, God uses trials as a means to shape us into the people He wants us to be because He loves us and desires what is best for us. He wants us to mature, and life's difficulties are part of the process. We must walk by faith and choose to “count it all joy” (Jam 1:2) because we know that the testing of our faith will lead to spiritual maturity if we yield to the Lord (Jam 1:3–4). This passage encourages believers to view trials as opportunities for growth. Where there is positive volition and a faith response, trials become a means to strengthen faith, leading to perseverance. As perseverance develops, it results in spiritual maturity. Steven R.

Una sola vía Por: Pastor David Ingman Al viajar en automóvil, seguramente has visto señales de tránsito que dicen: “Una sola vía”. Lo que esta señal significa es muy claro: hay un solo camino. Una vez que entras, no hay vuelta atrás. No es una pregunta de opción múltiple ni una señal con alternativas. No. Es la ley. De la misma manera ocurre con el Reino de Dios. Si decidimos entrar, primero debemos hacerlo por la entrada de Dios, no por la nuestra. Juan 14:5-6. A lo largo de la historia, el mundo ha intentado conectarse con un poder superior —a quien conocemos como Dios el Padre— por medio de múltiples religiones y dioses: “Todas las religiones son caminos para llegar a Dios.” Sin embargo, a la luz de la Palabra, entendemos que esa afirmación no concuerda con la verdad bíblica, pues solo hay un camino al Padre, al Dios verdadero y todopoderoso, y ese camino es Jesucristo, el hijo de Dios. Juan 10:9. Hechos 4:12: “Y en ningún otro hay salvación; porque no hay otro nombre bajo el cielo, dado a los hombres, en que podamos ser salvos.” Los verdaderos creyentes adoramos a Dios Padre, Dios Hijo y Dios Espíritu Santo. La Biblia nos enseña que el enemigo ha venido para “robar, matar y destruir”, y eso incluye nuestra preciosa fe y nuestra salvación eterna. En este mismo momento existe una guerra espiritual, cuyo objetivo es confundir los corazones y apartarnos de la verdad. La estrategia del enemigo es sembrar caos y engaño. La historia de la Navidad no es solo un relato conmovedor sobre un bebé indefenso nacido en un pesebre; es el inicio de un legado eterno del Rey de reyes (Apocalipsis 19:16). Pero, hoy estamos viendo una creciente persecución contra el cristianismo en todo el mundo. El principal ataque proviene del islam, que consideran herejes e impíos a cristianos y judíos por rechazar las enseñanzas de su profeta Mahoma. Existe una campaña para convertir al mundo a la fe islámica radical que se basa en la venganza, la amrgura, el odio, la violencia y el asesinato. Jesús proviene del linaje de Abraham y David. Abraham tuvo dos hijos: Isaac, el hijo legítimo de la promesa e Ismael, el hijo ilegítimo. De este último, descienden las culturas islámicas actuales. La Escritura describe a Ismael y a su descendencia de esta manera en Génesis 16:12: “Y él será hombre fiero; su mano será contra todos, y la mano de todos contra él; y delante de todos sus hermanos habitará.” Algunas versiones lo describen como “un asno salvaje”, lo cual simboliza obstinación e ira descontrolada. En contraste, la Biblia presenta a Jesús como el Príncipe de Paz. Mientras que el Corán, el libro sagarado del islam, describe a Alá como un dios de guerra, la Biblia —tanto el Antiguo como el Nuevo Testamento— revela a Jehová como un Dios de amor, y a Cristo como el Príncipe de Paz. No necesitamos ser convertidos ni radicalizados. ¡Ya somos hijos del Dios Altísimo! Juan 14:6. La entrada Una sola vía – Ps. David Ingman se publicó primero en Comunidad de Fe.

What the World Still Needs: Love That Moves Toward Us John 3:16-17 Big Idea: The love that the world needs most is not earned, it is not conditional, it is not temporary. It is the self-giving love of God revealed in Jesus Christ.Is there a love that won't walk away when things get difficult? Love doesn't start with us, it starts with God.God's Unstoppable Love…1. God's love came to us (Romans 5:8).2 God's love is proven through sacrifice (1John 4:9-10; 2 Cor 5:21).3. God's love offers rescue, not rejection.4. God's love gives us eternal life.What do you do with a love like that?1. Receive it, you cannot achieve it.2. Rest in it, be content.3. Reflect it, pay it forward.

The Great Plot Twist 1 Cor 3:16

Do you ever wake up in a cold sweat after having a nightmare about not being able to fulfill your responsibilities?  There are so many details to remember as a leader - do you ever ask yourself What if I can't be there?  Will everything fall apart?  What if I forget something?  These questions cause us stress, and unnecessary panic.  Today's conversation is all about when its OKAY not to show up, not to be perfect and maybe even to forget something.  You're going to be okay! Listen in and don't panic.   Bible verse 2 Cor 12:9-10 "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ's power may rest on me. For when I am weak, then I am strong" Next Steps:  Schedule a coaching call:  https://homeschoolcommunitybuilders.com/ Join our Facebook group- Lead Your Homeschool Co-op https://www.facebook.com/groups/72507320516066 Become a Lead Your Homeschool Co-op Insider and get first dibs on valuable resources to help you lead, organize, and connect your community.  https://homeschoolcommunitybuilders.com/contact/

Este título insólito corresponde, simplemente, a la duración de la pieza, es decir, 4 minutos y 33 segundos. Lo especial de esta composición es que sus tres movimientos no contienen ninguna nota, aparte de la anotación «Tácet»: silencio.El estreno de 4'33" tuvo lugar el 29 de agosto del año 1952 en Wood stock (Nueva York), y constituyó un sonado escándalo. En efecto: el joven pianista David Tudor entró en escena, saludó al público, se instaló ante el piano de cola, lo abrió, esperó los 4 minutos y 33 segundos y lo volvió a cerrar, marcando así el fin de la actuación. Entretanto, nada. Silencio. Un silencio solo interrumpido por las toses nerviosas de los espectadores... hasta que se dieron cuenta de que no había nada más que esperar y abandonaron la sala protestando, frustrados y enfurecidos.Lo más chocante es que, gracias a esa «creación», John Cage se hizo mundialmente famoso, fue solicitado para interpretarla en numerosas ocasiones y hasta para grabarla en discos y CD ¡con diferentes instrumentos!!¿Locura? ¿Extravagancia? ¿Genialidad? ¿Burla? Ha habido reacciones para todos los gustos. No es mi intención aquí ni juzgar al artista ni a sus fans, ni discutir sobre las numerosas virtudes del silencio. Mis reflexiones van en otra dirección: hay silencios que pueden ser bienhechores, muy valiosos y hasta caros, pero hay otros muy poco recomendables, porque no aportan nada bueno.Jesús instó a sus discípulos a compartir el mensaje que él había proclamado a costa de su propia vida: el evangelio no debe ser callado bajo ningún pretexto. Tiene que ser proclamado a todo mundo para que llegue a toda la humanidad y cumpla su misión, antes de que sea demasiado tarde.El apóstol Pablo siente tan a pecho esa responsabilidad, que exclama: «¡Ay de mí, si no anuncio el evangelio!» (1 Cor. 9: 16). Y exhorta al joven Timoteo en estos términos: «Te suplico encarecidamente [...] que prediques la palabra y que instes a tiempo y fuera de tiempo. Redarguye, reprende, exhorta con toda paciencia y doctrina [...]. Cumple tu ministerio» (2 Tim. 4: 1-5).Cuando la historia parece avanzar a ciegas por derroteros inciertos, no es tiempo de silenciar que Jesús ha prometido volver. Sería un silencio demasiado caro. El mundo necesita más que nunca un mensaje de cordura, de solidaridad y de esperanza.Inspírame, Señor, para que sepa romper el silencio cuando convenga.

La question peut sembler légère, mais elle est en réalité très sérieuse économiquement : la beauté « made in China » est-elle en train de détrôner la célèbre K-beauty coréenne ? Depuis une quinzaine d'années, la Corée du Sud s'est imposée comme une puissance mondiale des cosmétiques, portée par l'innovation, le soft power culturel et des marques devenues incontournables. Mais depuis peu, un nouvel acteur accélère très vite : la Chine.La K-beauty a longtemps dominé le segment des cosmétiques innovants et accessibles. En 2023, l'industrie cosmétique sud-coréenne représentait environ 14 milliards de dollars d'exportations, contre moins de 2 milliards au début des années 2010. Des marques comme Innisfree, Laneige ou COSRX ont popularisé les routines en dix étapes, les masques en tissu et les soins ultra-techniques, tout en profitant de la vague K-pop et des dramas coréens. La Corée du Sud exporte aujourd'hui ses produits vers plus de 150 pays.Mais la Chine rattrape son retard à une vitesse impressionnante. Le marché chinois de la beauté est devenu le deuxième plus grand au monde, derrière les États-Unis, avec un chiffre d'affaires estimé à plus de 80 milliards de dollars en 2024. Surtout, les marques locales chinoises connaissent une croissance à deux chiffres, là où les marques étrangères stagnent. Selon plusieurs cabinets d'études, les marques chinoises représentaient moins de 30 % du marché en 2015 ; elles dépassent désormais 50 % des ventes de cosmétiques en Chine.La force de la beauté chinoise repose sur trois leviers économiques. D'abord, le prix : des produits souvent 20 à 40 % moins chers que leurs équivalents coréens ou occidentaux. Ensuite, la vitesse d'innovation : certaines marques chinoises lancent de nouveaux produits en quelques semaines, en s'appuyant sur les données issues du e-commerce et des réseaux sociaux. Enfin, la maîtrise du marketing digital : sur Douyin, Xiaohongshu ou Tmall, les marques chinoises exploitent à grande échelle le live-shopping et les influenceurs locaux.Autre élément clé : la Chine n'est plus seulement un marché intérieur. Les exportations de cosmétiques chinois ont progressé de plus de 20 % par an depuis 2020, notamment vers l'Asie du Sud-Est, le Moyen-Orient et l'Afrique. Là où la K-beauty s'est mondialisée par la culture, la C-beauty s'impose par la puissance industrielle et logistique.Faut-il pour autant enterrer la K-beauty ? Pas encore. La Corée conserve une image premium en matière de formulation et de dermatologie. Mais une chose est sûre : la beauté made in China n'est plus un outsider. Elle est devenue un concurrent crédible, capable de redessiner l'équilibre économique mondial du secteur cosmétique. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Drawing from years spent as the end user, COR, and technical evaluator, Ryan pulls back the curtain on why supplies move faster than services, why construction is the most dangerous lane for small businesses, and how contractors can win by understanding how customers think—not how solicitations are written. Key Takeaways Supplies are the fastest, lowest-friction path to federal revenue Professional services offer scale without construction risk You don't need product expertise—just access to the customer If you want to learn more about the community and to join the webinars go to: https://federalhelpcenter.com/  Website: https://govcongiants.org/  Connect with Encore Funding: https://www.encore-funding.com/ 

In this episode, Pastor Cindy doesn't just preach a message, she gives a reminder about Christ. Who he is and what he has done. For generations and generations, the people of God have needed to be reminded of the power that they carry because of who Jesus is. There is power in his name and there is power in his blood. We have been reconciled to the father through Jesus' beautiful sacrifice.   Scripture reference: John 1:1-5, Colossians 1:3-6, Colossians 1:9-14, Colossians 1:15-18, Hebrews 1:3, Col 1:19-20, Col 1:21-23, Col 2:20, Col 3:1-4, Col 3:12-17, Colossians 4:5, 1 Cor 11:23-26, Matthew 26:26-30.

Welcome to the Podcast of Southwest Bible Fellowship in Tempe, Arizona. WHO ARE WE? • We are a group of people who are committed to living the grace life as set forth by the apostle of the Gentiles, the Apostle Paul. • We come together to study our Bibles, and yes, we believe we have God's perfect Word in the King James Bible. It and it alone is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice! • We do not come together and study our Bibles for the intent of being smarter than others. We understand that knowledge for the sake of knowledge is purely vain and serves no Godly purpose. • We do come together and study our Bibles for the intent of knowing our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of His resurrection. (Philippians 3:10) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that we have been crucified with Christ; nevertheless we live; yet not us, but Christ liveth in us: and the life which we now live in the flesh, we live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved us and gave himself for us. (Galatians 2:20) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that because Jesus Christ shed His blood for us and we should not live for ourselves but for Him, who died for us and rose again. (2 Cor. 5:15) • We do not claim to have attained to these lofty goals, but we press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

D. Juan Cerrato Ponce —sacerdote de la Diócesis de Getafe (Madrid)— propone algunos consejos que nos ayuden a recogernos antes de la celebración de la Santa Misa y nos preparen al momento de la comunión. Al recibir el Cuerpo de Cristo respondemos «Amén», que significa: «Así lo creo». Atentos, porque «quien come el Cuerpo de Cristo indignamente, come su propia condenación», dice San Pablo (1 Cor 11, 27).

In today's homily, Fr. Tyler Mentzer, MIC, reflects on the genealogy that opens the Gospel of Matthew — a passage we often rush past, yet one filled with profound hope. “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham” (Mt 1:1; NABRE) is not merely a list of names. It is the story of salvation unfolding through real people, real families, and real brokenness.This lineage includes saints and sinners, faithful patriarchs and corrupt kings, Jews and Gentiles, holiness and grave sin. Scripture does not hide the dysfunction. David's adultery, idolatrous rulers, exile, foreign bloodlines — all are present. And yet, this is precisely where Christ chooses to enter. God does not wait for a perfect family tree. He enters human history as it is and redeems it from the inside out.Father Tyler reminds us that Matthew deliberately frames this genealogy as a new beginning — a new Genesis. Just as creation began “in the beginning,” so now a new creation begins with Christ. Jesus stands at the center of history, time, and salvation. As Scripture teaches, “... whoever is in Christ is a new creation” (2 Cor 5:17; NABRE).This message is especially powerful as Christmas approaches. Many families carry wounds, strained relationships, and painful legacies. Yet the Gospel assures us that when Jesus is invited into a family, into a heart, into a life, everything begins to change.Sin does not have the final word. Grace does.As we prepare for Christmas, Fr. Tyler challenges us to ask honestly: Where is Christ still waiting to be invited in? When we say yes to Him, the Lord who “will save his people from their sins” (Mt 1:21; NABRE) begins a work of restoration that reaches backward, forward, and into eternity. ★ Support this podcast ★

“We do not celebrate Christmas that way.” “We do not read those kinds of books.” “We ‘do not handle, do not taste, do not touch.'” We know our world is full of rebellion against God's law. But many people overreact to moral license with a strict imposing of out-of-context or made-up laws. Faithful saints call this legalism, and Christian fantasy fans know plenty about this. When that influencer or relative rebukes your fantastical interest, how you can respond with grace and truth? Mission update New at Lorehaven: reviews of Ruthless and Shadowcast Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild Quotes and notes What Is Fiction Legalism?, E. Stephen Burnett Even If We Like Fantasy and Sci-Fi, We Can Still Practice Accidental Legalism, Marian A. Jacobs 50. Do Christians Really Need Fiction? | Fiction's Chief End, part 1, Fantastical Truth podcast 1. Legalism denies the word of God itself. We've heard and experienced many stories of judgy legalists. Some are worse than others. Some comments are snide asides. I heard one author's work dismissed as “not in the real world.” And yes, I've had people challenge Lewis, Tolkien, other stories. Others rail more on social media against metal music or pageants. But don't confuse these false teachers with people they deceive. Your family members may be confused and repeating memes. In either case, work to overcome defensiveness or bad feelings. Your firm foundation: legalism is anti-gospel; the Bible rejects it. So study the word of God. Don't let legalists ruin that for you! Get into the gospel with the epistles, Romans, and other epistles. Focus on texts like Romans 14, 1 Cor. 8-10, and all of Galatians. 2. Legalism denies the good of God's gifts. Moving to legalistic teachers, they often escape to fantasy worlds. They like alternative realities where people don't like/need stories. You can (kindly) hit ’em with that little rejoinder, see how it works. In either case, be sure you study up on God's creative purpose. Start in Genesis and take this text seriously: it's history in poetry! Pay special heed to the “cultural mandate” in Gen. 1:27-28. Any ignorance of this call also overthrow God's call to family. So no one gets to do preaching or “ministry” minimization here! From this text, learned theologians discern that God is and loves three virtues in no particular order: beauty, goodness, and truth. God also loves to give good gifts to evil men and His children. We get this truth directly from texts like Matt. 7:11 and James 1:17. Sin ruin gifts? Not for studying, praying believers (1 Tim. 4:1-5). 3. And legalism denies God's real world. It is not Christianity, but gnosticism, to despise God's creation. Get your eschatology right, after all the charts and controversies. It's simply flawed to suggest we're bound for a bodiless world. Scripture constantly hints, then promises, a renewed planet Earth. Heaven will come down here, rather than replacing all of our world. Let's get the end of Revelation right about New Heavens and New Earth, Christ's eternal and holy kingdom that restores paradise! For Stephen, this doctrine was key to debunking fiction legalism. It helps me avoid the responses of depression or deconstruction. On good days I feel sympathy and love for sincere fiction legalists. With this solid foundation we can “swashbuckle” them with smiles. We can affirm the need for truth and holiness, but show how it is in fact made-up laws, not God's actual word, that forbid good gifts. And we can show how these stories help us grow to be like Jesus. Com station Top question for listeners When did you confront a fiction legalist? How did you respond? tallgrant liked ep. 290 on YouTube: Happy to see this covered, and even happier to get the other half in the Abolition of Man at least touched on! The position Lewis takes about a very small ruling class who make decisions about all of morality for everyone who comes after very much aligns with the ultimate revealed mission of the N.I.C.E. Not to mention the issues being raised about where a potential soul can come from. I find his look at the outworking and consequences of post-modern thought and reasoning really intriguing, considering that this was all put to paper before the conclusion of the second world war and the mass dissemination of those ideas outside the academic world. Next on Fantastical Truth “In one cataclysmic moment, millions around the world disappear.” Jesus returned thirty years ago. Or rather, He sort of pre-returned, the warm-up act, if you will. Many faithful Christians believe in this kind of “rapture.” And in December 1995, two authors teamed up and used this idea to create the most successful biblical end-times thriller we've yet seen. Last summer, we looked back on the Left Behind series legacy. Yet now we'll ask how that first Left Behind novel has aged, thirty years after its release.

A public library in Caleb and Stephen's area has been providing pornographic content to children. What is happening, why, and what should be done about it?Caleb and Stephen's Letter to the Sioux Center Public Library:To the Sioux Center Public Library, together with its director, board, staff, and all else who pertains:May the Lord convict you to read this letter in its entirety. Do not shrink from its words. Be discomforted, but receive the admonishment in humility. Remove Icebreaker, Identical, and every other wicked, ungodly, and perverse “literature” which you make available for public distribution. To be clear: not only should children be protected from depraved content, but also adults.Repent and do what is right — not from fear of man, not out of a duty to the community, but in the sight of God — that you may be forgiven. “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us” (1 Jn. 18-10). As will be explained further below, this is no matter of simply saying something to the effect of, “We don't personally like the book, but it's hard to decide what should or shouldn't be stocked,” or to “let the parents decide.”First, a brief note on the First Amendment and libraries. We would like to draw your attention to this week's conclusion of Little v. Llano County, in which the Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal against the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold the county's removal of 17 books from their public libraries. Specifically, they had ruled that there is no inherent right protected under the First Amendment for someone to receive information via taxpayer-funded books from a public library. This decision now applies to the states of Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. If this is the case elsewhere, can—even, ought it not be applied here? Your board has been quoted as stating its “commitment” to “protect access to information.” Should the reception of any and all information or content be protected? There is no true necessity in providing erotica to anyone. Indeed, as your director has said, “Our mission is to inspire lifelong learning, advance knowledge and strengthen our community.” How does pornographic, erotic literature inspire learning and advance knowledge? And — given the backlash you have thus far received — how does this strengthen the community?Second, your opinions on the first amendment, the Iowa constitution, and ALA policies aside: We call upon you to realize you are accountable to a Higher Authority (Acts 5:29; Westminster Larger Catechism QA 99, 128-130; Heidelberg Catechism, QA 104; Belgic Confession 36). You are under a law greater than your own policies. This law, God's law, applies to all peoples, unbelievers and believers alike. All mankind will be judged under the same law. If there are any on the board who do not profess Christ, you must hear the gospel and turn from your sins so that you may be saved. If you would hear this message of salvation while there is yet time, please contact us at pastor.rvurc@gmail.com.However, being aware of the demographics of our county, it is far more likely that this board and the library staff are full of churchgoers. If so, what grief you bring upon Christ's name! “Who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth?” (Gal. 3:1)What does the Word of God say of your actions?By providing in your catalog any material with perverse content, you promote peoples' minds to dwell upon that which is prohibited by the holy law. You train peoples' hearts to store up that which defiles the temple of our body (1 Cor. 6:18-20).“Fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints, neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not fitting…For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God (Eph. 5:3-5).” Sexual immorality is not limited to only an outward action, but also when the mind itself is lured to entertain temptation. As Jesus says in Matthew 5:27-28, “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”We are instead positively commanded to give our minds to holy, good things: “whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Phil. 4:8).Perhaps you object. Perhaps you think, “I'm not responsible for what others do. If they want to read these things, that's for them to decide.” You may as well like Cain (Gen. 4:9) ask the Lord, “Am I my brother's keeper?” Yes, you are. “Do not be deceived,” says Paul, for “Evil company corrupts good morals” (1 Cor. 15:33), and “A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump” (Gal. 5:9).Concerning sexual immorality and the 7th commandment, Q. 109 of the Heidelberg Catechism asks, Does God, in this commandment, forbid only such scandalous sins as adultery? Note its answer well: “We are temples of the Holy Spirit, body and soul, and Godwants both to be kept clean and holy. That is why God forbids all unchaste actions, looks, talk, thoughts, or desires, and whatever may incite someone to them” (see also WLC QA 139). It is clear: you shall certainly be held responsible for your part in distributing that which may lead someone to sin, whether they be adult or child; regardless of the government's position on its permissibility. However, know that your guilt is magnified for involving a child. Indeed, by permitting a child to check out such filth, you pose a stumbling block before them that they trip into sin. To you Jesus says, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to one through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin” (Luke 17:1-2; WLC QA 151).We pray you will heed these warnings with all sobriety, especially if you profess Christ, for “You should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind” (Eph. 4:17). “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God” (James 4:4).Consider this rebuke as a mercy from the Lord, shining light to expose devilish works. And now being exposed, understand that “to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin” (James 4:17), “for if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment” (Heb. 10:26-27). Can the stakes be any more clear than that? What ought you do?Well, if you would truly be called public servants:* Serve the parents by informing them if a child is seeking adult content (Prov. 17:25; 29:15)* Serve the child by declining to check out any material that would be destructive to their soul, even if it would cost you your job. (Lev. 19:7; Prov. 27:5; James 5:19-20)* Serve the community by refusing to stock wicked books in the first place (Ps. 101:3); by not squandering tax dollars on smut (Prov. 21:20; Lk. 16:10-13). * Discard from your shelves all depraved materials, pornographic writings, even any work which might “shake the hand against God, in defiance against the Almighty” (Job 15:25; Ezek. 20:7; Acts 19:19). * Refuse to contribute to the deformation and denigration of godliness in this area and in this land (Deut. 28:47-48; Dan. 12:10; Matt. 24:12; 1 Tim. 4:1-2; Jude 18-19).And finally, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up” (James 4:7-10).May God have mercy.Rev.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com        Catch this first: …The natural mind is speaking into the Supernatural… this never turns out good.   *Rather the natural mind needs to be in line with the supernatural.      The Mahotmetan writers suggest that Elizabeth was 89 years old… what does that say in the natural?    1 Cor. 2:13And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 14 The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone's judgment.…     What did Zechariah not believe? They would have a baby? It would be a great man of God? He would be filled with the Holy Spirit? In Elizabeths womb?…  He had prayed… maybe it was believable to have a son (or not) Maybe he just doubted the greatness of his son's calling?      **Don't miss the point - they prayed for a son… God is so good, he gives us more than we pray for?      Not just a son - but a son of history!      Eph. 3:20,21 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.   We pray, we ask, we think…. And he still goes above what we even ask for!      He was struck mute… in the greek the word means deaf and mute.   **As a punishment? NOPE - as confirmation that this is real. And to protect him from speaking against God.

Marriage is God's gift for joy and sanctification — but three subtle poisons can kill it: Pennies, Perversion, and Pride.Pennies – Loving money breeds fear, comparison, and discontent. Antidote: Seek first God's kingdom (Matt 6:25–34).Perversion – Porn, withholding, or distortion twist God's good gift of sex. Antidote: Pursue regular, healing intimacy as worship (1 Cor 7:5).Pride – “I know better” fuels unforgiveness and division. Antidote: Look to the humble Servant-King and forgive as Christ forgave us (Matt 20:28, Eph 4:32).Spot the poison, repent fast, and watch God restore joy to your covenant. Short, scriptural, and straight to the heart — hit play with your spouse.RESOURCES:Master marital communication: https://speak.fiercemarriage.comTake the 31-Day Pursuit Challenge: https://31daypursuit.comPray for your spouse with intention: https://40prayers.comTo learn more about becoming a Christian, visit: https://thenewsisgood.comThis ministry is entirely listener-supported.
