Imam Khalid Latif is a University Chaplain for New York University, and Executive Director of the Islamic Center at NYU (ICNYU). Under his leadership, ICNYU became the first ever established Muslim student center at an institution of higher education in the United States. Imam Latif's exceptional dedication and ability to cross interfaith and cultural lines on a daily basis brought him recognition throughout New York City, so much so that in 2007, Mayor Michael Bloomberg nominated Imam Latif to become the youngest chaplain in history of the New York City Police Department at the age of 24. Most recently, Imam Latif was selected as one of 60 New York City leaders to serve on Mayor Bill de Blasio's transition team, helping to recommend and select individuals for key roles in the current NYC administration and was also appointed to a “Task Force to Combat Hate” by NYC Public Advocate Letitia James to deal with the rise in Islamophobic, antisemitic, and anti-Sikh sentiment in NYC. Support the Islamic Center at NYUOur operating and programmatic budget comes directly from donations and as our community grows, so do our expenses.

What does it mean to be a stumbling block to other believers? Or to people you are sharing God with. How you live your life can either hurt your witness or glorify God. That is why today, Tom Hamberger shares from Luke 17:1-4 about how believers can bring glory to God as they share about Christ in word and deed.

IN THE NEWS:Every group makes endorsements, but which ones make a difference? Experts say it's generally those that have cash to back up the affirmation. And what's going on with the endorsements in the Deeds vs Hudson state senate primary?Speaking of endorsements--while school board races are technically nonpartisan, endorsements from political parties are quickly becoming huge factors in school board races across the country. As a result, some state parties are creating a primary system so voters can participate in which candidate gets the nod. Four years ago, a group of commonwealth's attorneys were elected and started taking a new approach to law and order. They called themselves Progressive Prosecutors for Justice, and they advocated for the abolition of the death penalty, ending cash bail and getting rid of mandatory minimum sentences. Now a few of their most prominent members have challengers in the Democratic primary in Fairfax and Loudoun and ArlingtonAt the Watercooler:- Joe Morrissey's estranged wife Myrna files suit with allegations of abuse- A deep dive from the Virginian Pilot about the history of Virginia's slightly-revealing state sealTRIVIA: What is Virginia's state insect?

Do you want to become an instrument of the unfathomable Mercy of God? If so, you do this by your deeds, your words and your prayers. First, you must constantly be on the “lookout” for opportunities to show Mercy by your deeds. Too often, when given the opportunity (such as to forgive another), we turn the other way. But we must be vigilant and committed to seeking these opportunities out and rejoicing when they are given. Second, your words can bring forth grace and Mercy, or they can wound and harm. We do harm by harshness or even by our failure to speak when we ought. We bring forth Mercy when we speak words of truth in love, even challenging words, so as to make present the Truth of God. And third, we often forget about the power of praying and offering sacrifices for others. Interceding for the world as a whole, and for individuals in particular, is a way of turning the key and opening the doors of God's grace. Do not neglect this essential act of Mercy (See Diary #742).Reflect upon your deeds, words and prayers. Can you point to concrete ways by which our Lord has used you to bring His Mercy to others? Try to identify a few of them and if you struggle with this examen, it is a good sign that the Lord wants to increase His daily outpouring of Mercy through you.Lord, I consecrate to You my words, my actions and my life of prayer. Use me as You desire and help me to be attentive to Your daily inspiration. Help me to sincerely seek out opportunities, each and every day, all day long, by which I can spread Your perfect love in this world. I give myself to You, dear Lord. Jesus, I trust in You.

WarRoom Battleground EP 297: The Criminal Deeds Of The Imperial Capitol

Our guest this week is Jesse White of Chicago, who is the recently retired Illinois Secretary of State, who served in that capacity for 24 years and under five governors. Prior to serving as Secretary of State, he was the Cook County Recorder of Deeds for seven years and a member of the Illinois House of Representatives for 16 years. Prior to his five decades long political career he served as a paratrooper in the US Army and was a member of the 101st Airborne Division and Illinois National Guard. Jesse was also a Chicago Public School teacher and administrator for 33 years. He also played minor league baseball for the Chicago Cubs after his time in the Army. Perhaps, most impressively, starting in 1959 he founded the Jesse White Tumblers, which has provided more than 19,000 at-risk youth (girls and boys) with training and guidance to make positive choices and learn important lessons for life. Jesse White Tumbler teams have performed at countless parades, NFL, MLB, and NBA games. They have also performed all over the U.S. and dozens of countries around the world. Amazingly, fewer than two dozen of them have gotten into trouble with the law. It's an inspirational story about growing up in an era of discrimination, overcoming constant obstacles, striving for success in so many different venues and making a tangible difference in the life of youth through discipline and determination.

As we try to save legions of indoctrinated youth, we can demonstrate that there is genuine hope that can liberate them from their learned doctrine of despair. There are things more precious than safety. Loyalty is better than logic. Hope is better than despair. Creation is better than destruction. Freedom is better than Utopia. Life is better than death. Most of all, as we are each our own worst problem, every step towards fixing our lives start with us, ourselves. If we each are responsible for the mess we might have made of our life, we are capable of changing our ways. We are each rarely doomed by anything stronger than our own despair.Would you like to share your thoughts with Ralph?  Please email your comments to hello@idahospeaks.com or post your comments on @IdahoSpeaks on Twitter.Sponsors:This production of Keep Right was brought to you by Ed Bejarana from Zenith Exhibits.  Zenith Exhibits providing professional audio production, voice overs, and audiobook narration.  Call (208) 209-7170 or visit www.zenithexhibits.com to learn more.Do you have something so say?  Interested in learning more about publishing on the Idaho Speaks Network?  Our nation was built on ideas and your idea could be the next political advancement for Idaho.  Call Ed at (208) 209-7170 or email hello@idahospeaks.com to start the conversation.

We get this question quite often – can you sell your inherited property? The answer to this depends on many factors. First, you need to figure out if you can sell an inherited property. Here are a few steps for you to take to answer this, before you can decide if you need a probate lawyer or professional executor. Check the deed to confirm you inherit First, check the deed to see if the decedent actually owned the property. Some people stay in a home long after another relative has passed or they are long-term renters. It's actually easy these days to get a copy of deed online. One example is ACRIS here in New York. Most other states and counties are similar. One note – it is a bit harder to obtain documents for co-ops (co-ops always worse during the probate process). You would need to call the management company for the information, which is sometimes like pulling teeth. They will need to check their internal records for the owner, and they may not provide you with the information. Once you have the deed, you want to clarify the owner. Is it the decedent? Was it in a trust? Is it in some other relative's name? Let's say it's your uncle who passed, but he actually moved into the house after your grandfather passed years before. It could likely still be in your grandfather's name. That would add a few layers of complexity to ownership. Deeds can also have joint owners, and co-ops can have beneficiaries. If there is a joint owner or beneficiary, and it's not you, then you don't own it. What happens to a mortgage when house is inherited? The next step is to see if there is a mortgage. When someone passes, the mortgage has to be paid off. So, it's important to find out if there is a mortgage and how much it is. It doesn't mean the heir is immediately on the hook for the mortgage payments, but it does need to be settled before the house is sold. If the mortgage amount balance is really large or underwater, it will definitely affect how you approach the estate. If the estate is close to or completely insolvent it makes the estate very cash poor, which changes how the estate is administered. Checking for a mortgage is similar to checking for a deed. Except for co-ops, mortgage information may be found online, on the statements that come in the mail, tax assessment offices, or on tax returns. In addition to searching for mortgages, you also want to look for potential larger debts. If there are tax debts, public assistance or Medicaid debts, second mortgages, etc., these debts must be paid first before anyone can get paid out from the proceeds from the real estate sale. Did you inherit tenants, too? Lastly, to determine if you can or want to sell the property, you need to figure out if the property is occupied. Did you inherit tenants? Is it vacent? If it's occupied, it will affect how you approach the estate. For example, if there is another heir living there and won't leave, that is a whole set of additional problems. If it's an actual tenant, it's not as clear cut as one would expect either. More often than not, tenants after the owner pass create problems and lose their moral compass. Evicting or removing tenants is usually a nightmare. It may change your approach to selling the property. Check out Anthony's book, “How Probate Works,” which will break down what is involved with administering a decedent's estate with property. Request your free consultation

Acts 2:42-47They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. Awe came upon everyone because many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved. “They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to eating and praying together”. That's how our first reading begins. Who is the “they”? They are the crowd of people gathered around the disciple because of a violent wind, flaming tongues, and hearing different languages spoken on Pentecost. Peter stood up to address the crowd and gave his first sermon, which must have been pretty good because, as our reading from Acts last week noted, three thousand people were baptized and added to the community. If that happened today, we'd say that's pretty miraculous. However, it's what happens next that's really impressive; these three thousand people committed themselves to doing life together. They learned, ate, and prayed together. They shared all their possessions. They sold whatever they owned and gave the money to anyone who had a need. Daily they shared meals together and celebrated all that God was doing. And they had compassion and kindness toward one another. And remember this wasn't 3000 people from the same place with the same background who thought the same or had the same cultural practices or anything like that. They were strangers from over 14 different countries. Undoubtedly some were old, some young. Some wealthy, some not. The real miracle isn't that 3,000 people were baptized. It's that 3,000 people responded to the gift of grace by doing life together despite all their differences, that's the miracle. With all our divisions, divides, and individualism of today, something like that is unfathomable for 30 people, let alone 3,000. It's fair to wonder, are we given this description of the early disciples as a command, as instructions on how we ought to live? If so, this picture painted of life together repels us more than does compel us… for lots of reasons. Maybe when we were young and idealistic we thought living such a way was possible, maybe even desirable. But now we have families or we're set in our ways. We are comfortable with our routines, our privacy, our preferences. And we recognize all the sacrifices and accommodations and demands it would place on us. I mean, if we're honest, We can't even imagine living this way with our own families in our own homes. We're far too busy with work, and practices, lessons, games, recitals, more work, etc. Who has time for daily meals together, let alone prayers and teachings and fellowship. Moreover, we don't trust other people enough to live like this. Just a couple weeks ago, Tom Orr and the Wired Word class discussed a Wall Street Journal poll that found communal values like religion, community involvement, or having children have all significantly trended downward in the last 20 years. Reflecting on why, David Brooks of the NYT wrote “My fear is that we've entered a distrust doom loop: People are so untrusting of their institutions and their neighbors that they are unwilling to reach out, to actively renew their communities, and so the dysfunction will continue, and the distrust will increase, and so on and so on.” But perhaps most of all this picture of life together repels us because we feel convicted by it, or at least I do. Deep down, I know I should live more like this, that I should share more meals, open my home, give money to meet the needs of my neighbors, share what's mine with an open hand, and have goodwill toward all people. Maybe i'm not the only one…However, I don't believe these verses are rules or specific instructions that Christians must follow. It's not, if we live this way, Jesus will love us. Notice that all these people were baptized first, then they lived this way. They received God's grace and love and acceptance first and then because of what they experienced, they committed themselves to doing life together in this way so others may experience what they did.This way of living shows us what life through the power of the Spirit could be like. It represents the best of what God's people are capable of. But it doesn't last long. Soon people in the community will defraud one another, they'll hold back their resources, they will treat each other unfairly, and after Acts 5, the church is never described with such rosy language.These verses, this idealized picture, is not meant to be a discouragement, but rather an inspiration: look at what life together could be like, a life full of welcome and hospitality, justice and mutuality, of service and community. Some intentional communities take these verses very seriously and try to follow them to the letter, like the bruderhof communities or houses of hospitality from the Catholic Worker movement.And while not the same, but at our best, we experience some of that life together here: We break bread together, we learn and celebrate together. We provide for each other's needs and the needs of our neighbors: whether that's through our monthly mission focus, our food pantry, or our support to Fondwa, Haiti. We pray, we worship, and we tell others about the God whom we confess. And it's no accident that you are a part of this community, at this time and place. In fact, you didn't choose to be a part of this church. But you'll say, “Cogan I tried a lot of places before coming here and intentionally chose this place.” To which I would respond, it was the Holy Spirit at work in you that led you to say, “this is where I want to be a part of the Body of Christ. This is where I heard and still hear the good news of the Gospel: that I am forgiven and loved and grace is mine no matter who I am or who I love or what I've done. This is where I am called to do life together with others who have experienced the grace of Jesus, too. Now to be sure this isn't the only place where this sort of stuff happens. And Life together here isn't always ideal. Like those early followers, we mess up, we make mistakes, we don't always agree. But like Dietrich Bonhoeffer says in his book, Life Together, “even when sin and misunderstanding burden our life together, is not the sinning sibling still a sibling…? Will not their sin (or mine) be a constant occasion for me to give thanks that both of us live in the forgiving love of God? Thus the moment of disappointment with my brother becomes incomparably beneficial, because it teaches me that neither of us can ever live by our own words and deeds, but only by that one Word and Deed which really binds us together, the forgiveness of sins in Jesus Christ.”What's so powerful about these disciples' life together was their desire to give of themselves so that others might experience grace just as they did. And what else does the love of Jesus feel like than a good meal with even better company? A celebration full of joy and festivity? Or having your needs met or debt paid by someone else's sacrifice? That's the call we have as a community, as a church. To give of ourselves and do life live together in such a way that draws others in so that they too experience grace, no strings attached.As we approach commitment Sunday, more than any dollar amount you commit to, or any role you volunteer for, or any talent you share, commit to doing Life Together. As one writer puts it, “God does not need possessions and has never been impressed by their donation. God wants people and draws us into that wanting.” Commit to showing up, to doing meals together, to trusting each other, to praying for and with one another, to meeting the needs of your neighbors, to drawing other people in because you want them to experience the grace of Jesus just as you have.

This morning we look at the kingdom mission of the Gospel and deeds of compassion. We will see that we too have been sent by God to live as new citizens welcoming in others to this new kingdom under the authority of a new King, Jesus. We will find that the trust and urgency we need for this mission is only available with a big picture kingdom identity. Where do we find that?

Meet Jess Edgin. She's a young mom of two who has a desire to share the word. I have committed to opening doors for these young women! Jess wanted to focus on the Fruit of the Spirit but both of us couldn't get to the fruit of the spirit without addressing the deeds of the flesh. We have lots of work to do in this area! We all do! We have roots to dig up before Godly fruit can start growing.

Who is worthy of owning everything? Who is worthy of claiming the title deed to the earth? Jesus Christ, of course. Revelation 5:1 starts, “I saw in the right hand of Him the sat on the throne.” After the resurrection of Jesus Christ, according to Psalm 110:1, where was Jesus seated? “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” So, the Lord Jesus is going to have to go very far to receive this from the Father, because He's right there. “In the right hand of Him who sat on the throne, a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.” What is the significance of being written inside and on the back? It was typical of a title deed in the ancient world that it would be written front and back and then it would be sealed. To break the seal, back then, you had to be the person to whom the deed was given. And so, in Revelation 5:2, John says, “I saw a strong angel proclaiming, ‘Who is worthy to open the scroll and loose its seals? no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look at it. “ Of all the great heroes none is worthy? Moses? "No one on the earth or under the Earth." None of all the greats of history are worthy to open this title deed. While weeping John reports in Revelation 5:5 that “One of the elders said to him, 'Behold the lion of the tribe of Judah has prevailed.' When did Jesus prevail? Obviously, on the cross was Christ's victory. “He has prevailed to open the scroll and to lose is seven seals. "And I looked,” John says in Revelation 5:6, “and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the elders stood a Lamb.” Jesus, The Lamb of God, is standing “as though it had been slain having seven horns and seven eyes.” Once again, symbolism is being used; the "horn" is a symbol of strength, power, and authority. And the eyes, intelligence. “which are the seven spirits of God set out in the earth. And he came and he took the scroll out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne when he had taken the scroll. The four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the lamb, each having a harp and golden bowls of incense which are the prayers of the saints.” Did you know that every prayer you pray is on record? In Revelation 5:9,” they sang a new song.” These are the elders and those who are withthem. I include us in that group. “You are worthy to take the scroll and open a seal for You were slain. You have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every tribe and tongue.” And notice in Revelation 5:10, “you have made us kings and priests.” These are Church age believers. No Old Testament believer was King Priest. 1st Peter 2:9 says, “we are a royal priesthood.” Are any believers in the tribulation going to be royal priests? No. Church age only. That's one of the privileges we have that no one of any other time of history had.Revelation 5:10 concludes, “…and we shall reign on the earth.“ One day each one of us will have responsibilities in the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. Revelation 5:11 says, “Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures and the elders, and the number of them was 10,000 times 10,000 saying with a loud voice say, 'Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.” So, the first chorus church is singing. Now the second chorus of angels starts in Revelation 5:13, “and every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth, and as are in the sea and all that are in them. I heard saying blessing and honor and glory and power be to him who sits on the throne under the Lamb forever and ever.” There is a day coming when every created thing will be singing praises to Jesus Christ. In fact, the Old Testament tells us that when the kingdom begins, the mountains and the hills and the trees and the rivers will begin to sing. You might think that this is just imagery. When Jesus rode into Jerusalem and the Pharisees rebuked his disciples, to stop speaking messianic prophecy. Jesus replied, “I tell you of these keep silent the rocks of the earth would cry out. I can't wait to see all creation, just joining in and singing, “blessing and honor and glory and power to Him who sits on the throne in the land forever and ever. Revelation 5:14, ends the chapter, “The four living creatures said, ‘Amen!” and the 24 elders fell down and worshiped Him, who lives forever and ever.” That is the last beautiful picture that you're going to see until Chapter 20.

The Rev. Keith Lingsch, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Naples, FL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Judges 19. How far can a society sink into moral decay and violence? In this chapter is one of the most shocking and disturbing stories in the Bible. A Levite and his concubine traveled through the territory of Benjamin and stopped at a city called Gibeah. There, they were met with a mob of wicked men who demanded to have their way with the man. The Levite gave them his concubine instead, whom he found dead the next morning. The Levite then cut her body into twelve pieces and sent them throughout Israel, calling for justice and vengeance. The Book of Judges tells the story of Israel's descent into chaos and idolatry, and the subsequent rise of a series of judges, or redeemers, who deliver them from their enemies. The judges are flawed heroes, but they are also instruments of God's deliverance. The book ends with the Israelites in a state of moral and spiritual decay, but it also offers hope for a better future.

We say we want to get better. We say we want to learn about this or that. We say we want to make a change. We say we've decided to get serious.But is this true?The Stoics had an expression: Acta non verba. Deeds not words.So it's ironic that most of us say we want to make these improvements, but we can't or won't do the bare minimum.---And in today's Daily Stoic Journal excerpt reading, Ryan discusses the importance of putting everything to the test in the same way that an assayer would test metals.
