Around the world there are people surrounded by crowds who still feel lonely. There are homes where someone quietly wonders whether anybody truly understands. Lord, meet people in Rwanda, France, China, Ireland, Singapore and Uganda. Bring encouragement to those who feel isolated and fellowship to those who long for meaningful Christian community. Let someone who has been praying alone discover that they are part of something much larger than themselves. Jesus, You gathered people around Yourself. You welcomed the overlooked, the searching and the broken. Holy Spirit, create within us the heart to notice others. Help us become people who listen, encourage and make room. Father, where someone has been wounded by relationships, bring healing. Where trust has been broken, give wisdom. Where loneliness has become normal, open a door towards healthy friendship and fellowship. Teach us not merely to ask, “Who will help me?” but also, “Who can I encourage today?” Let our homes, churches and communities become places where people experience something of the welcome of Jesus. God of Israel, strengthen those who feel forgotten. Remind them that they are seen by You. Give courage to take one small step towards connection, whether that means making a phone call, joining a Christian community, sharing a meal or simply telling someone honestly how they are doing. At this midday hour, let hope return through fellowship. Let prayer connect hearts across nations. And let the love of Christ make us people who carry one another gently. In Jesus' name, Amen. Gentle pause before the 6:00 p.m. prayer. Blessing May God surround you with good people, strengthen you through fellowship, and remind you that you are seen, known and loved by Christ.

What is shaping your life? We are all being formed by the voices and ideas we consistently listen to, but the early church chose to devote themselves to the apostles' teaching. In a world overflowing with information and opinions, we're invited to make God's Word the foundation that shapes what we believe and who we become. The gospel doesn't simply affirm what we already think—it confronts, challenges, and transforms us as the truth of Jesus takes root in our hearts. At the heart of the apostles' teaching is Jesus: His incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, and exaltation. Jesus came to be with us, died to forgive us, rose to restore us, and ascended to empower us through the Holy Spirit. These truths are more than doctrines to understand—they offer hope, freedom, restoration, and power for everyday life. When the gospel moves beyond words on a page and becomes written on our hearts, it has the power to transform the way we live.

In a world filled with countless voices competing for our attention, what we choose to listen to shapes who we become. The early church devoted themselves to the teachings of Jesus, allowing God's Word to become the foundation of their lives. Scripture draws us closer to God, renews our minds, strengthens us against temptation, and gives us hope when life is difficult. Being devoted to the Word is more than simply reading the Bible—it means allowing the words of Jesus to take root in our hearts and transform the way we think and live. When His Word lives within us, we discover truth, strength, and hope that the many other voices around us can never provide.

Mosely, a devoted mother of one, departed her home on Wednesday morning, September 23, 2026, to fulfill DoorDash delivery orders.When she didn't return home or respond to calls from loved ones, her family compassionately used phone tracking to locate her at Park Valley Apartments on Valley Parkway in Smyrna.Upon discovering her parked vehicle, family members undertook their own search of the complex. They observed Bradley peering from an apartment window and gently inquired whether he had encountered Mosely; he denied having seen her.Shortly thereafter, a family member witnessed Bradley moving through the complex while carrying a cloth-wrapped container. Upon realizing he was being observed, an arrest warrant indicates that he abandoned the container and fled the scene on foot.Inside the container, family members made the devastating discovery of Mosely's remains, which they identified through a distinctive tattoo.The homicide investigation continues as authorities work to understand the circumstances and motivations surrounding Mosely's tragic death.DoorDash records revealed no scheduled delivery for Mosely at that apartment complex on the day of her disappearance, raising questions about how she came to be at the location.Kingston Bradley was arrested and initially charged with concealing a death.Investigators continue their thoughtful efforts to understand the underlying reasons behind this tragedy, including how Mosely and Bradley's lives intersected and what circumstances led her to enter his apartment that fateful day. The victim's grieving family, understandably devastated by their loss, has compassionately raised important concerns about the timeliness of the police response, particularly given that they were the ones who made the heartbreaking discovery themselves.In a related case, a 15-year-old was arrested and charged with murder following an investigation into the July 7, 2026 death of a DoorDash driver in Philadelphia's Kingsessing neighborhood, according to police.Police report that Johnson is being held at the Philadelphia Juvenile Justice Services Center after bail was denied.

In popular accounts of the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the autocratic Catholic King James II was ousted by his subjects and replaced by his Protestant daughter Mary Stuart, wife of James's nephew, the Dutch William III of Orange. Devoted to her husband, Mary would not accept the crown alone, and so William and Mary were crowned together, securing a smooth dynastic succession. The Last Invasion of England: 1688 and the Dutch Armada (Princeton UP, 2026) recounts the forgotten campaign that carried William and his army to English shores and led directly to James's fall, bringing a revolutionary age vividly to life—and rewriting the history of Britain, Europe and the transatlantic world more widely.In this bold work of revisionist history, Dr. Arthur der Weduwen tells the momentous story of the Dutch Armada, describing the immense risks and near failures of the last seaborne invasion of England—which occurred exactly one hundred years after the defeat of the Spanish Armada. The sixteen thousand Dutch troops who accompanied William were not on hand for moral support. They came with sword, musket and cannon. Dr. der Weduwen argues that the political revolution in Britain could not have been achieved without the willpower, might and resources of William and the Dutch nation, and explains why the Dutch Republic, a small state that celebrated peace and commerce above all else, would dare to undertake a reckless preemptive military strike on its more powerful neighbour.Transforming our understanding of the Glorious Revolution and Britain's ascendancy as a global powerhouse, The Last Invasion of England relies entirely on contemporary sources, many from leading protagonists who prepared and executed the invasion, evoking the historical realities of the women and men who lived during turbulent and uncertain times.This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Discussion Questions1. Would you say your life is more devoted or distracted? In what way?2. What does making your life less distracted and more devoted look like?

In 2 Corinthians 6:14–7:1, Pastor Troy examines what it means to be wholly devoted to Christ. Through the picture of an unequal yoke, Paul challenges believers to consider who and what is determining the direction of their lives. Ultimately, biblical holiness isn’t merely about what we separate from, but about pursuing the presence of God […] The post Holy Devoted to You (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1) appeared first on Lookout Valley Baptist Church.

Back to the Bible - What Are You Devoted To?Acts 2: 42-47

The Bible has a lot to say about being devoted to God. It also has a lot to say about some things we need to be devoted to as well. Clearly, our devotion to God is evidenced by our devotion to these same things. In today’s study pastor Alexander will identify several things every believer should devote themselves to in order to truly live a devoted life to God. Today’s focus is on being devoted to One Another.

Tune in for Adam's sermon as he preaches from Acts 2 about what it looks like to be a part of the family of God.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John interviews a special guest . Rob Dube. Who is truly an enlightened soul. He wrote an amazing book called Shine. He co-authored this book with Gino Whitman, the founder of the wildly popular EOS operating system for businesses.In this book he talks about how looking inward is the key to unlocking true entrepreneurial freedom. Does that sound familiar? And he discusses 10 disciplines for maximizing your energy, impact and inner peace. As you will see in our conversation, Rob is just a very enlightened cool guy. In the conversation John charts Rob's path to success from his early entrepreneur years. All the trials and tribulations. Then they discuss how Rob met Gino Whitman – the founder of EOS. And how that meeting played out in his life. In the interview John discusses the 10 disciplines noted in Rob's book. And they delve into each one of them. John and Rob also discuss the think it be it methodology as it relates to actually doing the 10 disciplines. As you will see, this is a fascinating discussion.Buy John's book, THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it here.About the Guest:Rob is a speaker, author, podcast host, founder of the do nothing leadership retreat, Visionary of the 10 Disciplines with fellow entrepreneur, Gino Wickman.Rob Dube started in business selling Blow Pops out of his high school locker.

After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn't as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there's a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.John's technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas' McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country.

What we devote ourselves to shapes who we become. In Acts 2, the early church was more than a group of people who believed the same things—they were a community transformed by the Holy Spirit and deeply committed to following the way of Jesus together. Their devotion produced a church marked by unity, generosity, worship, prayer, and genuine care for one another. Rather than simply asking what the early church did, we're invited to consider what it would look like to live with that same kind of devotion today. Acts 2:42 gives us four practices at the heart of this life: devotion to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. These aren't simply church programs or activities to add to an already busy schedule—they're practices that form us into the people God desires us to become. A life of devotion takes time, commitment, and sacrifice, calling us to move from consuming to contributing and from simply trying harder to intentionally training in the way of Jesus.

Following Jesus is not something you become perfect at overnight—it’s a long, gradual process of intentionally training yourself to become more like Him. Using the early church in Acts 2:42–47 as the example, the message explains that everyone already has a “Rule of Life,” meaning the routines, habits, relationships, and priorities that shape who they are. The question is whether those habits are actually shaping you into the person God wants you to be. The early Christians devoted themselves to four practices: learning from Jesus’ teaching, fellowship and loving others, breaking bread/Communion, and prayer. The message emphasizes that devotion takes time, commitment, and sacrifice, but those sacrifices can ultimately produce greater joy, love, spiritual maturity, and community. The main challenge is essentially: Are you willing to intentionally let Jesus shape the direction of your life—not perfectly or all at once, but by continually taking the next step?

What if prayer became your first response instead of your last resort? In week five of our This Is Radical series, we discover what it looks like to build a life of prayer by seeking God first, praying often, and trusting Him even when the answer takes time.Want to learn more about Radical?Instagram: @radicalchurchFacebook: www.facebook.com/radicalchurchtxWebsite: www.radicalchurch.lifeRadical Church | Sundays | 8:15AM, 9:45AM, 11:15AM & 12:55PM1151 Bunton Creek Rd Ste 1001, Kyle, TX 78640

Sometimes our snares get so dominating we become dominated by them. But Jesus is and offers true Hope to every Hopeless person - even you. Will you acknowledge His truth today?

In this message, Student Pastor Ben Minton teaches on what the church is and what the church's mission is. Tune in for the opening message of this new series, Ekklesia.

The Devoted Friend by Oscar Wilde — A Calming Bedtime Story for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime A gentle bedtime story to help you drift off tonight: Oscar Wilde's sharply funny fable The Devoted Friend, read slowly and unhurried for sleep and insomnia relief. This continues the Books at Bedtime strand — also known as Coffee Break for the Soul — from the Calming Anxiety podcast, a series of classic story readings designed as a calming audiobook for restless nights. For the full library, plus ambient night-light features for the small hours, download Anchored on iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669Play store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored Narrated softly by Martin Hewlett, clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic, this reading follows kind-hearted little Hans and the rich miller who calls himself Hans's most devoted friend while quietly taking advantage of his generosity. Framed as a story-within-a-story, told by a linnet to a rather pompous water rat beside a pond, it's classic Wilde — witty, satirical, and gently moralising, ideal as an unhurried listen for falling asleep or quieting an anxious mind before bed. First published in 1888 in the collection The Happy Prince and Other Tales, Oscar Wilde's The Devoted Friend is in the public domain worldwide (Wilde died in 1900); this reading is Calming Anxiety's own narration of the classic public-domain text. This episode continues the Books at Bedtime strand, alongside The Selfish Giant, The Happy Prince, The Sphinx Without a Secret, The Nightingale and the Rose, and The Model Millionaire (also by Oscar Wilde), and classic short fiction from Katherine Mansfield, Kate Chopin, and Arthur Conan Doyle — currently working through The Hound of the Baskervilles — with new instalments added regularly to the main Calming Anxiety feed.

September 6, 2026 - Kyle Rye - Devoted to the Word by Buford Church of Christ

Acts 1:1-14. In a moment of real change and unanswered questions, Jesus gives His followers a mission that never changes and shows them where the movement that follows actually begins: united, persistent prayer.

Send me a Text Message!Paul's challenge to Timothy about prayer is the same challenge, with different words, as his challenge to the church in Colossae. "Be devoted to prayer." Being devoted to prayer doesn't mean that prayer is the only thing that you ever do. Just like being devoted to a job, or a cause or a spouse doesn't mean that is the only thing you will ever do. But if I am devoted, there isn't much in my life that my devotion won't touch. Right? If I am devoted to my wife, it will cause me to give myself to her in many different ways. It will shape my decisions, shape my day. She will come to mind often. But it doesn't mean I am with her 24/7, that wouldn't be good for her! Being devoted to prayer doesn't mean that all we do is pray, but it does mean our passion for prayer will shape our day, our decisions, and our relationships. There will be a practice of prayer that looks like devotion. That practice won't be the same for each of us and it won't be the same in every season of our life, but it will be noticeably different from not being devoted to prayer. Are you devoted to prayer?

Reagan Rose spurs us on in our Christian walk by answering the following questions about good works: What is the biblical definition of good works? Are the good works God has planned for us things that He spontaneously drops into our lives, or do we intentionally plan them? How can we keep our motives pure and faithfully do good works to glorify God instead of drawing attention to ourselves? Why are biblically sound churches sometimes weak in doing practical acts of service, and how can we avoid failing to become doers of the Word? How can we spur others on to good works? For someone who is growing weary of "well doing," or just lacking motivation, how would you encourage them to not give up or slow down? Reagan's Website: https://redeemingproductivity.com/Website: smilingatthefuturepodcast.com Email: smilingatthefuturepodcast@gmail.com Support The Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://donorbox.org/smiling-at-2024⁠

With a single step, a world shattered and the stars faltered. Those who witnessed the destruction must face the future and pick up the pieces, but first they must escape the Dragon Path and return home—or at least near it. To do that, though, they'll need to capture Jonathan's airship, the Adventure Beckons, from the Creed of Oracles… This week on Perpetua: Escape the Rumbling Castle! 07 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.06] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Creed of Oracles Infantry [NMCOIN] Typical Traits: Gritty, Grim Type: Humanoid Hunter Level: 10 Rank: Soldier Stats: DEX 10, INS 8, MIG 10, WLP 6 Attacks: Holy Salvo, Forceful Flurry Special Abilities: Summon Platemail Elemental Affinities: RES: Physical | VUL: Dark, Poison In-Game Description: With blessed light armor, rifle, and bayonet, Infantry make up the bulk of the Oracle's ranks. The rank-and-file soldier in the Creed of Oracles. If you decide to rush across the open courtyard when you first arrive to area of the castle, you can fight an infinite number of these guys. They aren't especially hardy, but their Holy Salvo is built specifically to knock out sturdy physical characters, so don't underestimate them! Starter Tip: If you can do it, try to dispel their summoned platemail, it'll make fighting them toe to toe a lot easier. Hovering Pyroclastic Typical Traits: Precise, Devoted, Short-fused Type: Humanoid Support Level: 10 Rank: Soldier Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 6, WLP 10 Attacks: Ignition, Volcanic Charge Special Abilities: Flying, Bracing Ash Elemental Affinities: RES: AIr, Earth [Can gain Fire] | VUL: Dark, Ice, [Starts with Fire] In-Game Description: A soldier in the robes and armor of the Creed of Oracles with flamethrower and a number of volcanic explosives at their belt. These floating demolitionists punch through your elemental defenses and their volcanic charges are like sticky grenades that give a boost to anything that hits your side of the field. Most importantly: They can cover themselves in a magical ash that will boost their might and give them a Fire resistance. Once they do this, they sort of become solid all-arounders, so it's best to knock them out before they can do that. Starter Tip: Hit them with Dark or Ice damage to bring them down to melee range! Fares, Devout Chef Traits: Tricky, Inventive, Religious, Adaptable Type: Humanoid Saboteur Level: 10 Rank: Soldier Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 8, WLP 8 Attacks: Poison Vial Special Abilities: Bottled Vigour, Enervating Powder Elemental Affinities: RES: Earth, Fire, Light| VUL: Air, Dark, Ice In-Game Description: A chef of the Creed of Oracles. Master of the Kitchen and Pantry. This guy SUCKS! I don't even mean in combat, he's fine to fight. But as a character, I hate how he can draw you into conflict. There's basically only one way through his conversation tree that doesn't draw you either into combat with him immediately (with reinforcements coming soon after) or up into the Barracks where his friends are. Personally, I prefer to just knock him out ASAP and then sneak up to the hidden passage a few rooms away. Starter Tip: If he manages to poison you, don't forget to use your IP for an Antitote. Poisoned doesn't do damage over times like in some games, instead it saps BOTH your Might and Willpower, so whether it hits a bruiser or a mage, you're in trouble!  Ushala, Conduit Traits: Mysterious, Possessed, Sacrificial Type: Demon Mage Level: 10 Rank: Soldier Stats: DEX 10, INS 8, MIG 10, WLP 6 Attacks: Heaven's Light, Heaven's Glory, Heaven's Call Special Abilities: Flying, Pressure Gauge Elemental Affinities: IMM: Light | RES: Physical, Poison | VUL: Dark | Pressure Points: Dagger, Sword In-Game Description: A member of the Creed who temporary gives their body up to be possessed by the spirit of the holy Oracles.  So, as far as I know, there's two versions of Ushala you can fight. The above is the "standard" one, which is what happens when the Gem Scene goes the way it almost always does. But I've heard that if you manage to get the gem away from the Draconic Elf safely, then Ushala can become possessed (by who? My theory is Lucena) and then she gets a second, much harder phase. Which is saying something, because even this version of her is NO JOKE. Starter Tip: If you can, hit her with Shaken and Poisoned (the status condition, NOT the damage type). All three of her attacks are based on WLP, so it helps to knock that down as far as possible. Sarithe, Shieldmaiden [NMSRSH] Traits: Courageous, Devout, Charismatic, Armored  Type: Humanoid Sentinel Level: 10 Rank: Champion (4) Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 10, WLP 8 Attacks: Face Me!, Intercepting Javelin Special Abilities: Elemental Shield, Head up, Soldier!, Not this time!, Get behind me!, Strong Will, Honest Heart!, Pressure Gauge Elemental Affinities: IMM: | RES: Light, (Can gain Air, Earth, Fire, Ice) | VUL: Bolt, Dark, Poison |  Pressure Points: Flail, Firearm, Spear, Heavy Weapon In-Game Description: A knight in elementally-charged armor, wielding a tower shield and a javelin that hums with power. Despite being fully kitted out in heavy armor, Sarithe's abilities seem designed to make her a strong support character. She keeps her crew safe not only by taking hits for them, but also by healing them, stopping Opportunities (critical hits), and granting them multiple elemental resistances. Starter Tip: Because she has a pressure gauge (from the Armidirge games), she doesn't take extra damage from the elements she's weak against. Instead, if you can hit her six times with something she's vulnerable to (including her pressure point weapon types), she'll get staggered and she loses all of her actions for the rest of the round. Be sure to take advantage of this!!
