Join Pastor Derek Walker from the Oxford Bible Church as he discusses the importance of standing with Israel in today's world. He explores the theological and scriptural reasons for supporting Israel, pointing out the biblical covenants, promises and prophecies that affirm Israel's significance in God's plan. He highlights the importance of understanding Israel's role in both past, present and future events. Key biblical passages are examined to show God's unwavering commitment to Israel, urging viewers to align themselves with God's purposes by standing with Israel. He studies the biblical perspective on Israel's role in unfulfilled prophecy, the dangers of Replacement Theology, and the spiritual significance of supporting Israel. He challenges the concept of Replacement Theology, rejecting the idea that the Church has replaced Israel. God has not finished with His elect nation Israel! This talk sheds light on why Israel remains central to God's plan and how anti-Semitism is a spiritual evil that requires the church's attention and prayer.

When we studied Titus, Paul talked about the Holy Spirit being poured upon God's people from the depths of God's bosom and he said God gives His spirit “generously,” He gives an endless supply to His people! Why? So we can endure to the end as he leads us. There are people who teach we have nothing to do with our salvation and this is absolute false. Paul says, “and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” Paul is talking to the church in Corinth, the ones he called “holy” at the beginning of the letter. He makes it clear that Jesus has the power to keep us and will keep us, if we keep in partnership with him. It's called free will. If we look at other scriptures, they will support the idea. We will do a deep dive in this podcast...take a listen then share it with others!

In this episode of the ABB Solutions Podcast, host Mike Murphy is joined by Brion Flaningam, ABB Drives Technical Instructor, to break down the fundamentals of motor starting methods. Based on a recent webinar, this episode walks through the basics of motor types, full voltage starters, and reduced voltage starting methods. Brian explains how different starters manage inrush current, how traditional direct online methods compare to more advanced approaches, and why Y delta starters are commonly used in certain applications. Tune in to hear insights on:Types of Motors: A high-level overview of asynchronous, synchronous, and permanent magnet motors, along with key differences in speed and configuration.Three Phase Focus: Why this discussion centers on three phase motors and the importance of adhering to NEC requirements.Inrush Current Explained: What happens during motor startup and why managing inrush current is critical for performance and protection.Full Voltage Starters: How direct online, reversing, and two-speed starters operate and where they are typically used.Reversing and Two-Speed Control: How phase swapping and multiple windings allow for direction changes and speed selection.Advantages and Limitations: Why full voltage starters provide strong starting torque but introduce high current and heat.Y Delta Starters: How changing motor winding configuration reduces inrush current and when this method is most appropriate.Timing Considerations: Why proper transition timing in Y delta starters is critical to avoid transients and performance issues.ReferencesIf you would like to attend a training, head over to our U.S. Drives & PAC Automation Solutions Training page.  Interested in learning more about ABB Drives?

Every believer may ordinarily find this in himself; for even though this disposition may be variously weakened, opposed, or interrupted by indwelling sin and the power of temptation; though it may be impaired by a neglect of stirring up and exercising the principle of spiritual life, in all requisite and graces, on all occasions — it will still be working in the believer, and will fill the mind with a constant discontent38 with itself when it is not observed, followed, and improved. No believer will ever have peace in his own mind, if he does not have some experience of a universal disposition toward all holiness and godliness in his mind and soul.

How do we live righteously in a world that is hurting? How do we live like Jesus in a world that is not our home? To live like this will have its trials.

The battles are coming thick and fast because this is the end of the seventh decade of the 19th Century - the British have just been defeated at the Battle of Hlobane mountain on the 28th March. There's been so much skop skiet and Donner it's time to reflect on matters further south west Before we buzz back to Zululand next episode. n the Transvaal, resistance to British rule was slowly setting, like mortar hardening between stones, the scattered grievances of the Boers beginning to cohere into something firmer, more deliberate. Far to the west, Kimberley glittered with a different intensity - fortunes were rising from the dust, deals were struck in the heat and noise, and the great hole in the earth swallowed men and money alike. Yet beneath the clangour of picks and the shimmer of diamonds, another current was moving. For even as the town prospered, a sequence of personal tragedies was about to cast a longer shadow over Kimberley shaping not only its mood but the hardening temper of one of its most ambitious young men. Cecil John Rhodes would endure a series of personal blows in the years ahead. These losses did not soften him. If anything, they seemed to harden an already melancholic temperament. One by one, the setbacks accumulated, and the young speculator who often appeared distant in manner would, in time, come to embody the ruthless vanity and moral ambiguity that marked the diamond fields and the empire they fed. The string of tragedies began with his brother Herbert. It was he who had come to South Africa first and started the Cotton farm at Richmond near Pietermaritzburg. And It was he who had impulsively upped and off to Kimberley to look for diamonds. Once these had been unearthed and he'd convinced young Cecil to join him — he upped and off once more to the eastern Transvaal, where gold had been discovered. After a while he tired of that life and began gun running from Delagoa Bay to amaPedi people, then roved about into northern Mozambique and what is Malawi today. He hunted the next gold find everywhere he went, a mad Victorian searching for his personal treasure. Cecil John Rhodes watched and took his own notes. He was already thirsting for power, and now he realised there were two routes. From Barney Barnato he learned the value of politics, and from JB Robinson he came to understand the uses of Journalism. Rhodes wanted something much bigger, and that was a seat in the Cape Parliament. He ran for representative of a rural territory, Barklay West which was a mistake. When he appeared at a meeting one of the local boers told him off “In the first place, you are too young, in the second, you look so damnably like an Englishman…” Rhodes, unlike certain modern politicians, listened. First stage of campaign complete, time for second stage. And here it may surprise many listeners, but he turned to black South Africans because at this time in our history, blacks could vote in the Cape. All they had to do was show they had enough cash, the Cape qualified franchise. Every voter had to show either 25 pounds of land or more in value or prove they received at least 50 pounds a year in income. After disbursing black workers with an unknown sum of money, 250 turned up to vote for Rhodes on election day and largely because of this support, he won. It is truly amazing that Cecil John Rhodes won his seat in the Cape Parliament because of black voters, and would go on to hold that seat in periods of triumph, disgrace and depression, until the day he died.
