The letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2-3 are possibly some of the best known parts of the apocalypic book, mainly due to their accessibility compared to the rest of it. But how should we read these seven letters? Are they examples of the history or eras of the church? Are they addressed to different types of church today? Are they symbolic? And why all the Old Testament references?Join Alex, Chris & Jo as they discuss these significant chapters, give some good background information that help make sense of what John is writing, and then talk aboput how we might be able to bring some meaning to us today.

Summary This episode of "Coping" covers different ways people view work, based on Professor Amy Rizinski's research framework. Kathy and Kevin Deegan explore three primary perspectives: work as a job (focused on paycheck), work as a career (focused on advancement), and work as a calling (focused on meaning and fulfillment). The conversation delves into how societal changes have led to people seeking more purpose in their daily work activities. The speakers share personal experiences, including Kevin's journey from working at a pizza parlor to pursuing education, and Kathy's evolution from teaching to finding a greater calling. They emphasize the importance of identifying one's mindset towards work and discuss strategies for discovering one's vocation, including the need to pause and reflect. Highlights Introduction to Different Views of Work Kathy and Kevin introduce the topic of how people view work differently, highlighting three main perspectives: as a paycheck, as a career ladder to climb, or as a vocation/calling. They emphasize the importance of understanding one's view of work to determine future direction. Work as a Paycheck Perspective The discussion explores the traditional view of work as means of survival. Kevin shares personal experience working at a pizza parlor in Los Angeles while pursuing acting. They discuss how the paycheck mindset can sometimes conflict with pursuing meaningful work and how focusing solely on money can create a false sense of security. Career-Oriented Mindset The discussion continues, examining work as a career, focusing on advancement and professional growth. Kathy shares her journey through education, including obtaining a master's degree in English education and spending 15 years in the education field before seeking greater impact. Understanding Calling and Vocation The conversation explores the concept of calling, tracing its etymology to the Latin 'vocatio'. They discuss how the concept has evolved from being exclusively religious to becoming more broadly applicable, emphasizing the connection between finding one's voice and discovering one's calling. Practical Advice for Finding Your Calling The speakers provide practical guidance for discovering one's vocation, emphasizing the importance of pausing to reflect and listen to one's life. They discuss balanced approaches to career changes and conclude with Kate Bowler's blessing for when the road is long.

Every Christian still battles with sin. But how should Christians approach this issue? The doctrine of sanctification is filled with hope, and in this sermon on the different views of sanctification, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones guides the listener through the different views of this doctrine. Sanctification means to be set apart for God and His service, to be made holy. Though it doesn't remove sin, it is the process by which the Holy Spirit removes the pollution of that sin and shifts desires from disobedience to God-honoring behavior. How long does sanctification take, and when in a person's spiritual journey does it take place? Dr. Lloyd-Jones walks through the various perspectives and aids the believer in reaching a biblical understanding of the answers. Some Christians have asked, “Why does it matter to study a doctrine that doesn't determine where someone will spend eternity?” Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains it is the Christian duty to search for the truth in all areas of life and study. Without knowing the truth, believers can become vulnerable to believing false doctrine and fall prey to heresies. Studying truth helps believers to avoid this, and it aids in growing them closer to Christ. Praise God that He does not abandon His children after saving them, but rather actively molds them into the image of His Son, Jesus Christ.

A DIFFERENT VIEW, THE SMILING MAN, THAT THING, JUST ANOTHER DAY, CHRISTMAS BREAK, THE VISITORS Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) It's important for our teachings and practices to help orient us in relationship to all parts of our lives, including the larger social and political dimensions of our lives. In this session, we explore one core teaching and one central practice that together help us to respond skillfully to differences in political views. The teaching is that of dependent origination, particularly the sequence from contact to grasping. We see how the two forms of reactivity, grasping and pushing away (each potentially manifesting in many ways) result from pleasant and unpleasant feeling-tones, when there is a lack of mindfulness and background habitual tendencies. We can see how the underlying pain, for example, of many working-class people (economic pain; and the pain of feeling disregarded, left behind, and/or not respected), or the pain related to anxiety about changing gender roles, can, especially when manipulated by those in power who provide scapegoats, lead to reactivity. After presenting a model of empathy practice as crucial for bringing our practice to interacting with those with different views, we can also, through such practice, tune in with compassion to the underlying pain, and have a sense of the deep genuine needs, in our examples, for economic well-being, respect, and clarity around gender. We explore all of this in an exercise with the "empathy map," which is followed by discussion. (There were several files shared via screen sharing during the talk. These files can be accessed below and potentially downloaded, by clicking on the "Q" under "Documents," and looking for documents 229, 273, 274, and 275.)

The election is just three weeks away and Phil is exhausted, Kaitlyn is concerned that evangelicals supporting Harris are making the same mistake as those supporting Trump, and Skye blames the whole mess on WWJD bracelets. Based on Kaitlyn's recent Religion News Service article, the Holy Post crew discuss a better way for Christians to think about politics and voting. Then, Wheaton College professor of theology and history, Jennifer Powell McNutt, talks to Skye about her new book, “The Mary We Forgot.” She argues that the Mary Magdalene we encounter in the Gospels is not a scandalized prostitute, but a significant supporter of Jesus' ministry and “the apostle to the apostles.” Also this week—more useless fruit fly science.   0:00 - Intro   1:51 - Show Starts   4:54 - Theme Song   5:15 - The National Association of Evangelicals - Listen to the Difficult to explore how Christians can become peacemakers.

Habits are often discussed, studied, and heralded as the #1 thing you can focus on to improve your life. I would have to say that changing some of my own habits has been super helpful, but the more I connect with Christ, the more I learn of new ways to approach commonly spoken of subjects. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the way I share about habits and how to view them so that creating them is filled with more ease and love. And for those of you who want to deepen your relationship with Christ so you can have your own profound insights each and every day, then check out episode 160 where I speak about a daily call you can come and join to start creating a conversational relationship with Christ.

As the anniversary of 9/11 once again becomes a topic of discussion, it seemed like a good time to take a look at the events of that day from an unusual perspective that nobody thinks to do. What the remote viewers at the Farsight Institute did was examine the events piece by piece to see if they could uncover any new information that may allow us to better understand the complexities of this massive operation. The things that they found through their methods of discovery will make the hairs on your arm stand up. For some people, this will all sound like hocus pocus, which is certainly understandable, but for those that understand that there is more to this world than what we can see with our eyes, the events of that day will start to make a whole lot more sense.

主播：Flora（中国）+Selah（美国） 歌曲：Stray Nights今日，中元。中元节又叫“鬼节”。其实除了中元节之外，万圣节、亡灵节也被称为“鬼节”。今天我们就来聊一聊不同的“鬼节”分别体现了什么样的“生死观”。On Chinese Zhong Yuan Festival (中元节), we usually float river lanterns (放河灯) to honor our ancestors (祭祖). It's also known as the "Ghost Festival (鬼节)."· ghost /ɡoʊst/ n. 鬼，幽灵其实很多国家也都有“鬼节”，像Halloween (万圣节)， Day of the Dead (亡灵节)等。关于万圣节的传统，相信大家都比较熟悉，比如：雕刻南瓜灯（carving pumpkins）、不给糖就捣蛋（trick or treating）。今天我们重点聊一聊亡灵节（Day of the Dead）。01 Day of the Dead亡灵节在墨西哥是一个非常重大的节日。People celebrate the Day of the Dead with songs and dances (载歌载舞) while honoring their ancestors(纪念他们的祖先).在这一天，他们带着鲜花和美食gather at cemeteries（聚集在墓地），awaken the spirits of the departed（唤醒逝者的灵魂），offer flower petals（献上花瓣），guide their ancestors home（引导他们的祖先回家）。单就载歌载舞这一点来讲，this is nothing like the Chinese Ghost Festival (这和中国的鬼节一点也不一样)。02 Zhong Yuan Festival在中元节这天，有些地方的人们会bring out the ancestral tablets（拿出祖宗的排位），respectfully place them on a special offering table（恭敬地把它们放在贡品桌上），light incense（点上香），并且offer tea and food for the ancestors to enjoy（供茶和食物供祖先享用）。然后，他们为祖先磕头（kowtow）、烧纸钱（burn paper money）。· tablet n. 匾但是现在烧纸钱的人越来越少了。Because it's bad for the environment, easy to start fires (容易引起火灾), etc. 而且，现在也提倡文明祭祀。So anyways, we are in a very reverent state of mind (怀着一颗敬畏的心) when it comes to rituals (谈到仪式)。现场的气氛也非常庄严肃穆（solemn）。· reverent /ˈrevərənt/ adj. 恭敬的· solemn /ˈsɑ:ləm/ adj.（仪式）庄严的，隆重的03 同样是缅怀先人，但表现大不同。生死观有差异！今天我们来谈一下不同的生死观（Different Views of Life and Death）。其实我们很少谈论“死亡”这个话题，甚至可以说是非常避讳。（1）我们的生死观第一个特点就是：回避死亡相关的话题，注重当下的生活。Selah believes it's quite nice to focus on the present (专注于当下挺好的), but it may not be sensible to avoid talking about death (避免谈论死亡可能是不明智的). 因为我们迟早要面对它（sooner or later we have to face it）。That's probably why people who have a vague concept of death (对死亡概念模糊) may go to extremes (可能会走向极端) after encountering some difficulties (遇到一些困难之后). · vague /veɪɡ/ adj. 不明确的（2）第二个特点就是：追求生命的价值（it seeks the value of life），尤其是社会价值（especially the social value）而不是它本身存在的自然价值（rather than the natural value of its own existence）。所以我们才会有“杀生成仁”“舍身取义”这样的成语，也会有“人固有一死，或重于泰山，或轻于鸿毛（Though death befalls all men alike, it may be weightier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather）”的名句。这实际上和我们的文化传统有关（This is actually related to our cultural tradition）。儒家文化强调：我们要在社会价值中实现生命的意义（it is in the pursuit of social values that human natural life has a meaning of existence）。That may be the reason why we value the collective interest over the individual (重视集体利益高于个人利益).当个人利益与他们所在集体的正当利益发生冲突时，we are encouraged to defend the latter first（我们被鼓励首先维护后者）。（3）Our view of life and death把死亡视为一个精神的升华 (sees death as a process of spiritual ascension).· ascension /əˈsenʃn/ n. 上升In our culture, sacrifice for a just cause (为正义事业而牺牲) is seen as an elevation of the sacrificer's character (被视为牺牲者人格的升华), and it perpetuates the spirit (它使精神永存). 所以对于那些为伟大事业，比如保家卫国而牺牲的人，我们会用“英勇就义”“英勇牺牲”这样的词。· cause n. 事业· perpetuate /pərˈpetʃueɪt/ v. 使持续墨西哥的亡灵节背后透露着什么样的生死观呢？首先，亡灵节其实是以印第安文明（Indian cultures）为主导，结合西班牙文明（Hispanic cultures）的产物。当时，印第安人认为只有treating the dead well（善待亡灵）and letting them go home happily（让他们高高兴兴地回家），他们才会be blessed by the dead（被这些亡灵保护）。所以说墨西哥的亡灵节可以说是“亡者在棺，生者狂欢”，而我们却是通过感怀死亡从而更加珍视生命。还有一部非常典型的墨西哥亡灵节电影——《寻梦环游记》（Coco）。It tells the story of a dead father who wants to be reunited with his living daughter on the Day of the Dead (一个死去的父亲想在亡灵节与活着的女儿团聚).At first, he had hoped his daughter would die quickly so they could actually meet. 但后来意识到如果他女儿死了，在现实世界中没有人会记得他了（no one would remember him in the real world）。所以看来他非常在意是否被人记得。It may also reflect the Mexican view of life and death (反映墨西哥人的生死观).墨西哥著名作家奥克塔维奥·帕斯（Octavio Pasco）曾说过：“We think that death is only the beginning of a new way of life (我们认为死亡只是一种新的生活方式的起点).”They think the real death is to be forgotten (被遗忘才是真正的死亡).看到这里，你对这两种生死观的理解有没有更加深入呢？其实现在有很多人对“死亡”这个话题是谈之色变的，这就显现出死亡教育的必要性了。04 死亡教育——如何理智看待生命的终点，感恩生命的珍贵目前，死亡教育的开展任重道远。那么现在美国的死亡教育普及得怎么样呢？主播Selah提到：死亡教育在美国越来越受到关注，尤其是在学术和医疗保健环境中（academic and healthcare settings），但它尚未广泛融入mainstream education（主流教育）。Are there any related courses offered in schools in the US (美国的学校有相关的课程吗)?死亡教育在美国中小学仍然很少见，大多数学生都是通过 literature（文学），history（历史），or religion（宗教）classes来了解的。其实，死亡是人生一个不可避免的课题。也许对它的认知加深之后，我们会更加珍视自己的生命，从而实现人生价值的升华。

Defenders: Doctrine of Creation (Part 10): Different Views of Divine Providence

Creationists and evolutionists both study the same universe and come to very different interpretations! Why?

Will there be a future return to animal sacrifices when Christ returns? If that's what the Bible says, how would such a position reconcile with the all-sufficient sacrifice of Jesus on the cross? Peter looks deeply into these questions by analyzing a chapter from Matt Waymeyer on how one can reconcile a future temple and return to sacrifices with the book of Hebrews.
