Current Sermon Series At the End of the Day: 7 Questions for Mindful Living May 4 – June 22 The Apostle Paul once wrote, “Test yourselves to make sure you are solid in the faith. Don't drift along taking everything for granted. Give yourselves regular checkups. You need firsthand evidence… that Christ is in you. Test it out” (2 Corinthians 13:5, The Message). With those words, Paul urges us to take inventory of our lives daily—to “review the tapes” to see where we might have lived up to our faith, and where we might have fallen short. In this series, we'll put a new twist on an old form of prayer called “The Examen” which gives us a formula for intentional self-examination at the end of each day. How can we yield our own will to God's purposes if we are not conscious of our own shortcomings? How can we see where God has shown up in our lives if we do not reflect on the experiences and encounters of our day?  Join us as we explore 7 questions for honest self-examination at the end of our day.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”There a spiritual battle raging in our culture! Join us as we unpack the profound insights of JD Vance and Sister Lucia of Fatima, examining how marriage and family stand as pillars against modern cultural upheaval. An encounter with Jesus Christ is vital in this ongoing battle against forces undermining life and love.God's grace, especially as Sister Faustina had painted in the Divine Image, is a powerful antidote to the spiritual void in society today, revitalizing both body and soul. As we address the challenges posed by radical ideologies and cultural shifts, we propose a compassionate approach that recognizes every individual as a "beloved child of God." This perspective not only affirms inherent dignity but also fosters unity, inviting us to journey towards the truth of our humanity.Our bodies are sacred vessels of divine love, designed to reflect the eternal exchange of God's own nature. This episode reveals how embodying grace allows us to manifest divine love, offering a counter-narrative to cultural views that diminish the sacred. We delve into the sacramental nature of marriage and the human body! Join Claymore and Gen Z as they set out on the path to find a life of love, selflessness, and moral courage, embracing their universal call to holiness.(The Video-Podcast of this Episode will be made available on Rumble.

Godward The Wilderness Steps: Spiritual Wisdom and Understanding by Larry D. McClureIn the beginning, God in mind moved with energy and intelligence and idealized the perfect form that would embody His very essence and Divine Image - the Perfect-Son idea. As the thought-form of the Perfect-Son takes on consciousness it becomes "Spirit-man" with its own feelings, emotions and free-will. As Spirit-man's thoughts became selfish it sought to express itself away from the Creator and entered the earth plane where it became entangled in materialism. Its consciousness now more "earthy" than "heavenly," and its thoughts dualistic, believing in both good and evil (The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil).Spirit-man is now the "Natural-man," a living being (Adam) and subject to all the physical laws. Living in the earth plane away from his Maker, Natural-man's mind becomes depraved, his actions perverted and unnatural. If Natural-man is not spiritually reborn he will forever be lost in a world of wandering and uncertainty (darkness).Godward The Prodigal Steps recounts the fall of Spirit-man and his struggle to understand his physical experience. The Prodigal Steps have returned him to the "Birth-Line" and now he must complete The Wilderness Steps; be spiritually reborn and continue his journey Godward.Larry D. McClure's profound exploration of Spirituality continues to captivate readers with his timeless wisdom and transformative insights. His works offer a deep dive into biblical narratives, metaphysical principles, and the human journey, providing readers with a roadmap for personal growth and spiritual enlightenment. Drawing upon 40 years of dedicated research and study, Mr. McClure embarks on a journey through the mysteries of existence. From genesis of the universe to the depths of the human soul his books offer a comprehensive exploration of timeless truths that transcend religious boundaries and cultural divides."We are all Prodigals; Everyone goes to the pigpen," remarks Mr. McClure, encapsulating the universal journey of human existence. His words resonate deeply with readers, offering hope and guidance in a world filled with suffering and despair.https://www.amazon.com/Godward-Wilderness-Steps-Spiritual-Understanding/dp/B0D9556RB2/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.eEXlBHPteQT-hXce7qxju6at3sNgIBMu6AHyR7rB3IWnlFpsu6Js8GtPz4hcro5VFAeXemglo96hln-rInLLnuRj8YN3hZeg2KUhterrUm3nODXiUSAL3zzINlJHzFe7VlC-k4nQ_JkgVADrW8RC09ozpPhB0iRVK_qZI_I791E2o6rPXBxhcfcZ3nSMluZPdkaowhlR2eyzF2HOikuED7l7UQYSzC8XSdB5Bt86TR_VPxSQpk-bG-OvQ2Y8nqF3KCyGh6SoEuE25Pu-RxYtRRXi_8ZakKZ50QMAj2jhl7s.j1GGg5yiQ3tnZgUjCSwP4svXpthkYpJ5PxNKLcMu6tk&qid=1733313482&sr=8-1http://www.godwardtheprodigalsteps.com  http://www.KingPagesPress.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/121224ldmkpp.mp3

He candidly recounts the highs and lows of his life—from the challenges of childhood, through the grip of addiction, to the heartbreaking loss of his son, Wesley.

We enter a new chapter examining the dignity of the human person, and Article 1 shows us that we have dignity because we are made in the image and likeness of God. We preserve that dignity when we exercise virtue and charity, and we do violence to it when we commit sin and evil acts. Fr. Mike hones in on the bold statement that we as humans are “the only creature on earth that God has willed for its own sake.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1699-1715. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Pastor Dale Benson Matthew 5:5-6 (NLT) This is a message for everyone... Anyone wanting to understand what God seems to say we are to be like if we are going to be a part of His Kingdom. Matthew 5:5 (NLT) Humble = Meek = praus = The “Golden Mean" Far Left - The Golden Mean - Far Right Cowardice - Courage - Rashness Stinginess - Generosity - Extravagance Sloth - Ambition - Greed Secrecy - Honesty - Talking Too Much Depression - Good Humor - Buffoonery We live in a day and age where people have run to extremes, and we are beginning to gather around those extremes. We blame all the world's problems on our enemies while rarely looking to see if we have ventured too far the other way. We twist words to win. We contort to make our way of life seem normal. The way of the kingdom of God seems so contrary to us because we have contorted ourselves to the way of the world. Matthew 5:6 (NLT) In his book "Reflecting the Divine Image," H. Ray Dunning directs us toward a very relational understanding of Creation, The Fall, and its effects on how we view the world relationally. And as a result, how we should live ethical lives considering a relational understanding. Dikaosune - Justice/Righteousness = Right Related: - To God - To Others - To The World - To Self This is a message that is not just meant for fathers. It is meant for all of us who are a part of raising our children, which is all of us. When we dedicate our children, we all agree to pray for these families. We agree to be a community of right-relatedness. We vow to be a place where children are led to Christ; A place where Christ is reflected in our lives. I am going to demonstrate this through an illustration that may be new to some of you but is at the heart of how we see the lives of our families around here. The Jars of Marbles: This particular jar was used when my daughter was in 7" grade. I am now down to the last two marbles for my youngest son, and I have joked that I am losing my marbles, but that isn't true. You see the intentional discipleship of my children was not a job I did all by myself. - Teachers at The Childcare and Grove City Christian School - Small group leaders and volunteers in every area of NextGen - Upward coaches and coaches at Grove City Christian School - Family friends, pastors' staff, faculty, prayer ministry volunteers Being able to live in the right relatedness is a blessing. As I put this together, I could almost visualize the faces of people in the congregation and online beginning to have a slight epiphany or maybe even be inspired to attempt to do better to work on their relationships. But that is not what the passage is saying. It says, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after these rightly ordered relationships, for they will be filled." It is not enough to have a nice nostalgic feeling about working for these relationships. It takes a deep hunger. It takes work. Finding the Golden Mean is a difficult task. To find that middle way, what the early Anglican Church used to call "The Via Media" is no simple task. - We are told in scripture to STRIVE to maintain the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. - We are told to FLEE temptation. - We are told to THROW off the sin that so easily entangles us. - We are told to submit our bodies as living sacrifices. - We are told that we will be blessed if we hunger and thirst for righteousness. We will be filled. Matthew 5:5-6 (NLT)

If this is so, why don't we know that we are taintless and immortal, as He is? Why aren't we conscious of ourselves as embodiments of His spirit? Again, what does scripture say? "Be still, and know that I am God." "Pray without ceasing." By regular practice of yoga meditation with steady attention, the time will come when you suddenly say to yourself, "Oh!

I am that wonderful state of consciousness within. I am made in the divine image of God's bliss and love." - Sri Daya Mata

Upside Down Glory Where have you seen systems of oppression benefiting from the glorification of suffering? On this fifth Sunday of Lent, Christopher Mack glimpses an Upside Down Glory of God that does not require the renouncing of our Divine Image; sets us in solidarity on a path of downward mobility, and reveals the violence of othering and casting out. [John 12:23-32]   Reflection Are there deforming religious ideas of denying your humanity you are invited to name & renounce?  What might it look like to embody a self-giving love that honors your personhood as well as others? How might we become more aware of where our own impulse to cast ‘others' out drives us?

⁠⁠Bible Verse of the Day⁠⁠ | Genesis 1:27 | A verse about Divine Image Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I am Reverend Joseph Sanford and it is April 14. We're going to continue with Genesis chapter 1 today. We read 26 a few days ago and now we're going to read verse 27 so God created humans and God‘s image in the image of God, they were created, male and female God created them This beautiful triplet gives us a source of sense and idea of God's identity, and how both male and female is how all genders all people are made up of the image of God. God is both. It's the same phrase repeated three times God created people in the image of God people were created, male and female. God created people because male and female is the image of God and that may not be what we have grown up with. It all comes from God and we are all a part of the image of God. We are all created equally we are all created in God's likeness. We are all carrying the image of God. The dignity of God is with us also. Let us turn to one another and treat each other accordingly.

TDAgiantslayer@gmail.com    Brought to you by wellbuiltbody.com    97X     PODBEAN   Apple Podcast    10 years ago a lot of up and coming companies -many in the tech field- were firing people over 50 and hiring 35 and under… they could pay them less and work them harder… or so they thought. Now those same companies are firing 35 and under and are hiring 55 and older… why? well thats where we are going today.     Why hire over 55? They actually work… No surfing the internet, no whining, no excuses They don't want 16 weeks off when their girlfriend is pregnant… They don't expect a raise with for no other reason than they think they deserve one They will work weekends, They will work late, they will work early…     2 These. 3: 9 It wasn't that we didn't have the right to ask you to feed us, but we wanted to show you firsthand how you should work for your living. 10 Even while we were still there with you, we gave you this rule: “He who does not work shall not eat.” 11 Yet we hear that some of you are living in laziness, refusing to work, and wasting your time in gossiping. 12 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we appeal to such people—we command them—to quiet down, get to work, and earn their own living. 13 And to the rest of you I say, dear brothers, never be tired of doing right. 14 If anyone refuses to obey what we say in this letter, notice who he is and stay away from him, that he may be ashamed of himself. 15 Don't think of him as an enemy, but speak to him as you would to a brother who needs to be warned.   God created man on the sixth day with two basic purposes by which he would fulfill his primary purpose to glorify God as a bearer of the Divine Image(that is i.e. our way to make God look good): working and multiplying.  Paul says I will give you a command: It means more than just a command (and it does mean a command) but the underlying meaning is “Hey News flash… you don't work, you don't eat - figure it out… what are you stupid!)   Now this verse isn't just for those who won't work… but the principle is broader than that… you might have a job, but you are still lazy. You still expect things to get handed to you. You want a raise, a promotion, a longer vacation… even without putting in the work. Things seem unfair, you seem ok living with your parents or your 3 friends… You think someday it will just figure itself out…   WAKE UP CALL: Paul says… do not associate with those people. Why? So they might be ashamed… Does God shame people - well yes, Luke 13:16,17 but more specifically this word means it will cause people to take a solemn serious look at what their actions are causing… So I recommended a guy for a job a few years ago… he got the job and then sucked at it… so now here are the solemn consequences…  - If a young woman was watching- she now knows don't date this guy he can't even keep a job and he is not tough enough to make it work… marriage will eat him up  - He has now cemented his habit again… making it even harder to stick with a job or a hard situation. When you quit, you are a quitter and its easier to quit anything hard  - he will now again think life is unfair… which will lead to his low self esteem, he becomes a victim  - he has not built a good resume for a future job  - he has made sure that i will never recommend him again for a job  - His parents now wrestle with guilt, frustration, anger and more seeing their son as a quitter  - he now has most likely kept a very hard working man who legitimately has a family with needs and who would be a great worker… he is keeping that guy from getting a job… how so? well now if I send that guy to my friend, my friend will say “the last guy you sent me sucked… so I am not taking my chances on this other guy”.  - You are looked down upon by your peers. My best friends are workaholics. they sweat, bleed, push, work more harder and are providers… and we all look poorly on those who don't work  - and because of that You now hang with quitters… Hard workers don't want to hang out with quitters  - You are losing time. If you had stuck with that sucky job from 3 years ago, you would probably be making more, with a promotion or two…  - you have kept yourself from tasting the victory of perseverance through adversity. I have pictures on my phone from the last 10 years where I was painting houses, picking up trash, mowing lawns, moving furniture… They all sucked, they were all hard work and I was gifted in none of them… but now I have the taste of perseverance in my life. and you become addicted to working hard and persevering.    Have you ever heard someone say “I wish I had your job… travel around and just talk and get paid”. I had a kid say this to me at a school… my response was this.. You couldn't handle the world I live in. You can't even keep your saggy ass pants up… hanging down. You think when I negotiated the contract with the state of florida I walked in with my pants hanging down. I had to read 20 pages of a contract and understand it… I asked the kid how many books he thought I had read to write, memorize and speak and get paid, over a 500. I asked him what my tax liabilities are working in Florida but living in Minnesota, I asked him if there is a dispute over non-payment do we argue that point in my state or the other persons state…  I asked him what job he currently has in order to use that as seed money to put into flyers, postage, airfare and conventions in order to build relationships to get gigs to speak. I asked him how much schooling he has… I have my Masters in management…  Hard work trumps everything… and God does not bless laziness, excuses, tardiness, apathy, lethargy, whining, victimhood or your lack of responsibility.

This year, the familiar back-to-school windup includes a growing sense of trepidation for many parents. A host of faddish ideologies, and the ham-fisted ways of imposing them, adds to their worries (or at least should). Revised historicism, sex and gender ideologies, even the seemingly harmless Social and Emotional Learning are all expressions of Critical Theory in some form or fashion.  Of course, many ideas out of accord with Christian teaching have been taught by schools, but these reject core realities of what it means to be human. Critical Theory in any form, whether established academic theory or mere cultural mood, categorizes people as members of particular groups and either awards or reduces social and moral merit based on those groups. This is something Christians must never do. As philosopher Douglas Groothuis writes in his analysis of the influence of Critical Theory in the U.S., “One's fundamental identity is being made in the Divine Image; it is not found in race or gender or social class.” Many parents have begun to see that whenever that primary identity is dismissed, all manner of confusion sets in.  Even so, this sort of thinking plays an outsized role in the rules and guidelines of our kids' schools. Recently, a colleague of mine, while enrolling her daughters at a new school, was assured by the principal that the curriculum and policies were “ideologically neutral” with respect to transgenderism. Wisely, my colleague pressed further, and asked a clarifying question. “What would happen if one of my daughter's classmates identified as trans? Would she be compelled to use their preferred pronoun?”   The principal replied, “We'd want to make sure we respect the viewpoints of everybody, and so, yes, we'd ask your daughter to use the correct pronouns.”   “What if she didn't?” my colleague clarified.   “In that case,” the principal conceded, “it would probably be grounds for a disciplinary conversation.” In other words, gender ideology wasn't taught, it was enforced, and in such a way as to assume that the matter was already settled.  That's only one of a half dozen or more stories I have heard so far this year. Parents must research schools, both policies and personnel. Unfortunately, some administrators simply don't have a grasp of how they will handle these issues. Even more find their hands tied by laws like Colorado's Gender Identity Expression Anti-Discrimination Act. By asking specific, sometimes uncomfortable questions, parents not only protect their own kids, they provide an opportunity for transparency, maybe even change. That protects everybody's kids from bad ideas that threaten to overtake every element of their lives.  A tremendous tool for parents is the Promise to America's Parents, a project of the Alliance Defending Freedom, in partnership with other organizations such as the Family Policy Alliance and the Heritage Foundation. In addition to legal assistance for those facing discrimination based on their religious convictions, this project gives a roadmap and a toolkit for parents when it comes to education and healthcare.   For example, did you know that “parents can regularly and proactively request in writing to… review the entirety of their child's education records, including any files involving counseling on gender identity issues”? Also, according to a guide on transgender ideology in schools from the Minnesota Family Council, parents have the right to request the policies for locker and restrooms to know if students identifying as transgender are allowed to use the opposite sex's changing rooms and toilet stalls. In addition, parents can review curriculum before it is delivered by teachers to their students.   Explicit rights afforded to parents differ state by state. For example, only 25 states and D.C. require schools to inform parents whenever sexuality is being taught. And, 36 states and D.C. openly allow opt-out options for sexual education. ADF has a sample opt-out letter for parents and other letters to request notification for any issue or ideology with which they are concerned.   And, of course, all of these concerns point back to a key premise too often forgotten. Parents are in charge of educating and protecting their children, not the state. More than ever, it is vital that parents take this right seriously. The Promise to America's Parents is one way to do that. In fact, on Friday August 19, I will join ADF, the Heritage Foundation, and others for a Celebration of the Promise to America's Parents. It will be livestreamed and absolutely free. Just visit adflegal.org/celebratethepromise to register.  Truth doesn't become falsehood because it's unpopular. The hard thing to do is also the loving thing to do, and both kids and educators need to know the difference. 

Cross Defense returns with a look at Scripture's answer to the controversial question, what is a woman? Francis Pieper provides our theological road map.

We are made in the divine image of God. Therefore, we are divine and we are godlike. When God looks at us, His hope is to see Himself through us. Genesis Chapter one starts off with the creative works of God. We too have the expression of God's creativity. No one should seek to be like anyone else, because what God has put inside of each one of us was done strategically and for a divine and unique purpose to glorify the Kingdom of God.

In society these days, the value of life has cheapened, thanks to widespread murder, abortion, and euthanasia. However, in our text, this morning, we are confronted with a completely different understanding of life- God's View.--The view of the Source and Sustainer of life. Which is the only view we must know and follow. Because the Creator sets the standards, and--the Creator judges our breaking of His standards. All of which is because the Divine image in man is precious in God's sight---1- The Blessings of Life--2- The Blood of Life--3- The Body of Law

Girls of all ages and stages of life will gain a greater understanding of who we are in Christ and the love that He has for His daughters in this episode of the Pink Mug.

Some people thrive and others collapse fought by the same temptations, in the same context, surrounded by the same people. St Paisius the Agiorite (St Paisius of the Holy Mountain) and St John of the Ladder teach us that a joyful disposition of the heart and the determination to see goodness in everyone can make the difference between spiritual life and death. We need to train our thoughts to always 'translate' the situations we face into good examples, into sources of strength, virtue and beauty. Depending on whether we decode this world through a lens of love or one of condemnation, the same temptations can feed the Divine Image in us or the nothingness in us.

Man was created "in the image of God." What does this mean? How could the form of man be identified with the formless and shapeless God? Shaarei Orah teaches that the human being is the symbolic representation of the divine. God is formless, shapeless – and utterly unknowable. We can know Him only indirectly, through an image that represents Him: the human being. According to this teaching, man's perfection is to properly represent the divine, to actualize it in this physical and limited world. When perfecting himself, man is perfecting God's representation and actually embodies the divine.
