The Las Vegas Police Gun fights and Trauma He Barely Survived, His story, Books and Organization. What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas,” says Randy Sutton, a man whose career with The Las Vegas Police was marked by heroism, split-second decisions, and more than a few brushes with death. Sutton, a retired Lieutenant with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) and a 34-year veteran of law enforcement, recently returned to the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast to share his story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. Before joining the LVMPD, Sutton spent a decade with the Princeton, New Jersey Police Department. But it was his 24 years in Las Vegas, a city that never sleeps, that tested his courage and resilience in ways few can imagine. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “There were multiple gun fights in my career, but one in particular stands out,” Sutton recalls in the interview. The incident involved an armed suspect wielding both a gun and edged weapons. “It could have easily cost me my life, for more reasons than one,” he says.

Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . That night turned into a nightmare of chaos, numerous shots fired by police and the suspect, a departmental vehicle crash, and a desperate effort to avoid getting hit. “I remember thinking, just keep moving, just keep breathing,” he says. The trauma from that moment, combined with other dangerous encounters over his decades of service, would later shape his mission to help other officers. Sutton's survival wasn't just luck, it was training, instinct, and sheer will. But the emotional scars lingered. “When you've been in that situation, when you've seen the worst of humanity and survived, you can't just go back to normal,” he says. That understanding led him to found The Wounded Blue, a National Assistance and Support Organization for Injured and Disabled Law Enforcement Officers. “Our mission is simple, make sure these heroes are never forgotten and never alone,” Sutton explains. Through support, education, assistance, and legislative advocacy, The Wounded Blue helps officers and their families navigate both physical injuries and the hidden wounds of trauma.

But it's his vulnerability in speaking about trauma that resonates most. His story isn't just one of survival; it's a call to action. “I barely survived that night,” he says of the gun fight that could have ended his life. “But I'm here, and I owe it to those who didn't make it home to keep fighting, this time, for them.” You can follow Randy Sutton and The Wounded Blue on their website, their Facebook and Instagram, or listen to the full interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast's website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms.

Moore Baptist Church New Building Dedication Service. August 10, 2025 Pastor Larson- God Can Change Your Life- Eph 3:20

Moore Baptist Church New Building Dedication Service. August 10, 2025 Pastor Larson- A God Blessed Church 1 Tim 3:15

This week we pause our Sermon on the Mount series for a baptism and dedication celebration, and Scott Woller shares a powerful moment from Luke 8. We see Jesus on the move, accompanied not only by the Twelve but also by three unlikely women—Mary, Joanna, and Susanna—each with their own story of brokenness and redemption. Together, they remind us that God's plan has always been people, and that discipleship isn't just about what we receive from Jesus, but also about the valuable role we play in His mission. In this conversation, we explore what it means to be needed, to invest in others' faith journeys, and to be part of the ongoing story of God's work in our city and our relationships.

Chrissie has had ENOUGH of her kids scrolling, so she's devised a little plan to reduce screen time at home and see if her kids will spend some time with her then, here's hoping haha!

In this Abounding Love episode, I continue a six (6) part series on "Steps to Your Ministry." Step #1 was on "Dedication, " and Step #2 on "Your Purpose," along with five goals to get results. In this "Steps to Your Ministry #3," I share on "The Leadership of the Holy Spirit." He empowers us to reach the lost, defeat the devil and equip people for ministry [Mark 16:15-18]. In the book of Judges, we find the story of Gideon, ". . . the Angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, 'The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor'" (Judges 6:12, NKJV). The Angel tells Gideon that the LORD is with him. But Gideon question this; if the LORD is with him, then why are there no miracles and no deliverance, like in the past when God saved Israel from Egypt. Gideon states that the LORD has "forsaken Israel." "Then the LORD turned to him and said, 'Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you" (Judges 6:13-14, NKJV). God empowered Gideon to defeat the enemies of Israel. Likewise, Jesus has sent us, saying, "Go preach the gospel" and defeat the enemy! Unlike Gideon, we have the Holy Spirit living in us as born-again believers (1 Peter 1:23). Jesus, our example, being led by the Spirit, overcame the temptation of the devil [Luke 4:1-15]; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life [Genesis 3:1-7; 1 John 2:15-17]. Join me as we cover these subjects and explore the leadership role of the Holy Spirit in your ministry. Selah!

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Matthew 14:22-36 - Jesus made the disciples get into a boat and precede Him to the other side of the sea, while He dismissed the crowds. After doing so, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When it was evening He was there alone. Meanwhile the boat, already a few miles offshore, was being tossed about by the waves, for the wind was against it. During the fourth watch of the night, He came toward them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea they were terrified. “It is a ghost,” they said, and they cried out in fear. At once Jesus spoke to them, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Peter said to Him in reply, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” He said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw how strong the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus stretched out His Hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” After they got into the boat, the wind died down. Those who were in the boat did Him homage, saying, “Truly, You are the Son of God.” After making the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret. When the men of that place recognized Him, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought to Him all those who were sick and begged Him that they might touch only the tassel on His cloak, and as many as touched it were healed. Memorial of the Dedication of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3, 4) Joshua Charles on why protestants have such an aversion to the Blessed Virgin Mary

Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 408The Saint of the day is Dedication of Saint Mary Major BasilicaThe Story of the Dedication of Saint Mary Major Basilica First raised at the order of Pope Liberius in the mid-fourth century, the Liberian basilica was rebuilt by Pope Sixtus III shortly after the Council of Ephesus affirmed Mary's title as Mother of God in 431. Rededicated at that time to the Mother of God, St. Mary Major is the largest church in the world honoring God through Mary. Standing atop one of Rome's seven hills, the Esquiline, it has survived many restorations without losing its character as an early Roman basilica. Its interior retains three naves divided by colonnades in the style of Constantine's era. Fifth-century mosaics on its walls testify to its antiquity. St. Mary Major is one of the four Roman basilicas known as patriarchal churches in memory of the first centers of the Church. St. John Lateran represents Rome, the See of Peter; St. Paul Outside the Walls, the See of Alexandria, allegedly the see presided over by Mark; St. Peter's, the See of Constantinople; and St. Mary's, the See of Antioch, where Mary is supposed to have spent most of her later life. One legend, unreported before the year 1000, gives another name to this feast: Our Lady of the Snows. According to that story, a wealthy Roman couple pledged their fortune to the Mother of God. In affirmation, she produced a miraculous summer snowfall and told them to build a church on the site. The legend was long celebrated by releasing a shower of white rose petals from the basilica's dome every August 5. Reflection Theological debate over Christ's nature as God and man reached fever pitch in Constantinople in the early fifth century. The chaplain of Bishop Nestorius began preaching against the title Theotokos, “Mother of God,” insisting that the Virgin was mother only of the human Jesus. Nestorius agreed, decreeing that Mary would henceforth be named “Mother of Christ” in his see. The people of Constantinople virtually revolted against their bishop's refutation of a cherished belief. When the Council of Ephesus refuted Nestorius, believers took to the streets, enthusiastically chanting, “Theotokos! Theotokos!” Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Dedication of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome (Optional Memorial)

Friends of the Rosary,Today, August 5, the Catholic Church celebrates the Optional Memorial of the Dedication of the Basilica of St. Mary Major, Santa Maria Maggiore, one of the four most illustrious churches of Rome, along with St. John Lateran, St. Peter, and St. Paul Outside the Walls, and Christendom's first Marian shrine for pilgrims.This feast commemorates a miracle of the snowfall that occurred during the night on this day in the year 358 on the site where the Basilica of St. Mary Major now stands.The Virgin Mary had appeared in a dream to two faithful Roman Christians, the patrician John and his wife, as well as to Pope Liberius (352-366), asking that a church be built in her honor on the site where snow would fall on the night between August 4th and 5th.That's why another name for the basilica is Our Lady of the Snow, Saint Mary of the Snow, and the feast of today is Our Lady of Snows, la Virgen Blanca, in Spanish.Nowadays, in Rome, during the pontifical Mass and the second vespers, the traditional shower of flower petals descends from the ceiling of the basilica to commemorate the August snowfall in 358.Pope Francis' mortal remains are buried in St. Mary Major. He was laid to rest near the icon of Mary Salus Populi Romani.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

On the feast of the Dedication of St. Mary Major in Rome, let us remember that we have a wonderful custom in the Church of celebrating the consecration or dedication of our churches. Fr. Kubicki explains the "why" behind this in today's reflection.

Tuesday of the 18th Week in Ordinary Time Optional Memorial of the Dedication of St. Mary Major Basilica in Rome; first raised by Pope Liberius in the mid-4th Century, completed in 1743; it has survived many restorations without losing its character as an early Roman basilica; the feast day is also known as "Our Lady of the Snows"--a wealthy couple pledged their fortune to the Mother of God, and as an affirmation, she produced a miraculous summer snowfall and told them to build a church on the site Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 8/5/25 Gospel: Matthew 14:22-36

 27 And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck.Factum est autem, cum haec diceret : extollens vocem quaedam mulier de turba dixit illi : Beatus venter qui te portavit, et ubera quae suxisti. 28 But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.At ille dixit : Quinimmo beati, qui audiunt verbum Dei et custodiunt illud.The Dedication of the Church of our Lady of the SnowThe Church was built at Rome, on Mount Esquiline, in the fourth century during the pontificate of Pope Liberius. In the middle ages a graceful and popular tradition ascribed its foundation to a noble patrician who, having been favoured with a vision of Mary, caused it to be erected on a spot covered by a miraculous fall of snow.

5 August 2025

Numbers 12:1-13 (Not so with my servant Moses unlike other prophets. Why then were you not afraid to speak against him) Revelation 21:1-5 (God will wipe away every tear from their eyes)

The sermon celebrates the dedication of a new building as a fulfillment of prayer and a testament to God's faithfulness, emphasizing that the structure is a direct result of divine provision and not human effort. Drawing from 2 Chronicles, the message highlights the importance of seeking God's presence, remaining faithful despite challenges, and anticipating future growth as a community devoted to proclaiming the gospel. Ultimately, the speaker encourages unwavering commitment to God's word and a posture of humility, trusting that divine provision and purpose will continue to shape the church's journey.

In John 9, Jesus returns to Jerusalem for the Feast of Dedication, undeterred by the ridicule He faced before. As He enters the city, He meets a man blind from birth. The disciples ask a deep question about suffering, and Jesus uses it to reveal greater truths and call us to greater faith. In this chapter, the blind man is healed and becomes the central figure, showing us what it means to believe in Christ—even when faced with relentless opposition and debate.

Today's AgNet News Hour highlighted the resilience and passion of California's dairy industry, featuring an in-depth interview with Joseph Bakker of Back Road Ranch and Countryside Dairy in the Tulare–Visalia area. A third-generation dairyman, Bakker shared his journey in agriculture, managing over 6,000 cows and farming 2,000 acres with his family. His deep ties to both the land and the community reflect the strength and legacy of California's dairy families. The episode dove into the many challenges facing dairymen in California—from relentless regulation and water scarcity to labor hurdles and rising operational costs. Despite these burdens, Bakker remains hopeful, expressing optimism about the future of the industry and calling for smarter policy, more education, and greater public understanding of where our food comes from. Host Nick Papagni and co-host Josh McGill emphasized the importance of representation for farmers on state boards and in politics. They underscored the lack of understanding in Sacramento about the day-to-day realities of agriculture, stressing the need for firsthand engagement and visibility from the ag community. Listeners also learned more about Bakker's family, his children's involvement in football at Central Valley Christian School, and how sports and farming go hand in hand in instilling strong values and work ethic. In the second half of the episode, the show transitioned to industry updates from the Almond Board of California. Encouraging news included tariff reductions in Pakistan, reduced inspections for EU-bound shipments, and insights into pest control and facility registration in China. These updates show that California's almond sector continues to fight for global competitiveness. As the episode closed, Nick and Josh issued a call to action—inviting farmers to bring kids out to the farm, champion FFA, and foster ag literacy. Their message: support your local farmers, drink more milk, and never underestimate the power and necessity of California agriculture.

     Those who are positive to God desire to know Him, His Word, and to pursue His will.[1] Jesus said to fellow Jews, “If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself” (John 7:17). Jesus explained that knowing God's Word is predicated on a desire to do (ποιέω poieo) His will. But some hearts are negative to God. And when the heart is negative, no amount of divine revelation will prove persuasive. For example, Noah preached to his generation for one hundred and twenty years, but they refused to listen (Gen 6:3; 2 Pet 2:5). Jeremiah spoke to the leaders of Israel, saying, “these twenty-three years the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened” (Jer 25:3). Preachers are responsible for the accurate output of the message, not the outcome of response. Jesus spoke to the hard-hearted Pharisees and said, “Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word” (John 8:43). Jesus then gave the answer, saying, “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father” (John 8:44). They could not hear His words because they were unsaved and negative to God. These were men who “loved the darkness rather than the Light” (John 3:19). Paul described them as ones “who suppress the truth in unrighteousness” (Rom 1:18). Paul also spoke about the unsaved person, saying, “But an unbeliever does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised” (1 Cor 2:14).      Of the one with positive volition it is said, “his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night” (Psa 1:2). The benefit of such a lifelong meditation is that “He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers” (Psa 1:3). The godly person is positive to the Lord and welcomes His Word. David said, “I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your Law is within my heart” (Psa 40:8). The word delight (חָפֵץ chaphets) means, “to take pleasure in, desire…to delight in…to be willing…to feel inclined.”[2] This speaks of positive volition. God's will (רָצוֹן ratson) refers to what pleases Him. And the word Law (תּוֹרָה torah) means teaching, direction, or instruction. Jeremiah said, “Your words were found and I ate them, and Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; for I have been called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts” (Jer 15:16). To eat God's Word is a picture of positive volition, as Jeremiah welcomed the divine revelation into himself. Once received, it delighted (שִׂמְחָה simchah – delight, joy, gladness, mirth) his heart (לֵבָב lebab – inner person, mind, will). When the human heart is receptive to God's Word, it transforms that person from the inside out, and this is both cognitive and experiential. David and Jeremiah wanted to know and walk with God, and His divine revelation, properly understood and applied, was the means to know and do it.      God will open His Word to the believer who dedicates his/her life to Him. Paul wrote, “I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect” (Rom 12:1-2). A surrendered life to God makes the Christian sensitive to the illuminating ministry of the Holy Spirit, who aids the believer to know God's will. Concerning this passage, Arnold Fruchtenbaum states: "It is hard to understand what the will of God is without this act of dedication because the believer does not have the Spirit's illumination, which is needed to determine God's will from His Word. Dedication brings knowledge of the will of God. Having the knowledge, the logical outworking of the dedicated life is that the believer now does the will of God."[3]      God's Word is powerful and accomplishes what He desires (Isa 55:10-11; Heb 4:12), and it lights a fire in the heart of those who welcome it. For example, Jesus, after his resurrection, walked for several miles with two disciples and gave them a Bible lesson which lasted for several hours as they traveled “to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem” (Luke 24:13). Luke records what Jesus taught them, saying, “beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures” (Luke 24:27). After His Bible lesson, the two disciples said, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32). The heart that is positive to God receives His Word and is excited by what is learned.  Theological Categories of God's Will      The will of God can be divided between His secret will and revealed will. Moses wrote, “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law” (Deut 29:29). What God has revealed in Scripture is what He deems important for us to know. But there are secret things that belong to the Lord, and on these matters, He remains silent. To spend our days pursuing what God has sovereignly chosen to keep hidden will only lead to unending frustration. If we have prayed and studied God's Word thoroughly yet received no clear answer, it may be because God does not want us to know—or not to know at this time. Though we may seek to discern God's will through daily experiences, such providential insight must always remain subordinate to His written revelation. Though we don't know many particulars about what God is doing, we know He is in control and directing history to the return of Christ and the eternal state, and we are part of that grand plan. Concerning God's revealed will, Scripture presents several classifications. Steven R. Cook, D.Min., M.Div.   [1] For the Christian, this does not mean our sin nature is removed, nor that we are free from the sinful pressures of living in a fallen world. Paul said, “I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members” (Rom 7:21-23). This struggle with sin continues until we leave this world and enter into heaven. Until then, it is God's will that we remain in this world (John 17:15) as His ambassadors (2 Cor 5:20).
