Join Micah, Ben Boswell, Terry J. Stokes, and Jules Webb as we explore the concept of purification and reparations in Leviticus 4-6. What does this ancient text on making reparations have to teach us about wealth? What is the Levitical and then Christian perspective on reparations owed to the descendants of enslaved people? How does this passage play into the story of Zacchaeus and illustrate the Bible's opposition to wealth? And how does the depravity of love in the lives of the wealthy illustrate the way God seeks our love?Jules Webb is an artist, author, and creator of many zines, including Feast of my Flesh, Why I am an Anarchist, and Sequential Theology. Rev. Dr. Ben Boswell is the author of Confronting Whiteness and the pastor of Collective Liberation Church.Rev. Terry J. Stokes is an anarchist theologian and the author of Jesus and the Abolitionists: How Anarchist Christianity Empowers the People.You can find the show, more episodes, and other means of listening at thewordinblackandred.com.

In our main verses today, the Psalmist asks the question, “How can a young man keep his way pure?” Then he answers in telling us “by living according to your word.” We cannot live according to God's word if we are not reading, studying and incorporating it into our everyday lives. Remember how Jesus fought Satan when he was tempted in the desert? His battle cry was “It is Written…,” and He was victorious! Will you make this your battle cry as well?WEBSITE: http://www.heartlandfree.comFACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/heartlandevangelicalfreechurch/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heartladfree/
In this message, Ps. Morgan reminds us that knowing about God isn't the same as knowing Him. He challenges deconstruction and spiritual isolation, calling believers back to real relationship with Jesus. It's an invitation to live as sons and daughters, rooted in connection and obedience.

With the approach of Ash Wednesday on February 18th, the Church once again does something both startling and merciful: she reminds us that we shall die.There is about this reminder a bracing honesty which our modern age sorely needs. We are encouraged, most days, to behave as though we were permanent fixtures in a very temporary world. We speak of plans and prospects, of improvements and entertainments, and seldom of endings. Yet on Ash Wednesday the priest marks our foreheads with ashes and speaks the plain truth: “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” It is not cruelty. It is clarity. And clarity, in the hands of God, is always a form of kindness.Lent, then, is not a season for religious theatrics, but for reality. The Church calls us to consider the Four Last Things—Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell—not because she delights in severity, but because she desires our joy.Death is the great appointment we all keep. It is not an interruption of the story, but its turning page. For the Christian, death is not the collapse of meaning but its unveiling. The One we have trusted in shadows we shall meet face to face. To remember death is not to become morbid; it is to become wise. Only when we grasp that our days are numbered do we begin to truly live.Judgment, too, has been misunderstood. We imagine a cold tribunal and forget that judgment is the setting right of what has gone wrong. Every time we cry out against injustice, every time we long for truth to prevail, we are secretly longing for judgment. And the Judge is not a stranger but the very Christ who bore our sins. To stand before Him will be to stand before Love itself; it's a love that burns away falsehood and heals what we have surrendered to Him.Heaven and Hell stand as the two great possibilities before every human soul. Heaven is not a sentimental cloud, but the solid, blazing reality for which we were made. It is the fulfillment of every pure desire, the answer to every homesick ache we have ever felt in this world. Hell, on the other hand, is not so much a torture devised by God as the final monument to human refusal, the tragic end of a will that persistently says, “I will have my own way.” In the end, we are given what we have chosen.Lent is the season in which we are invited to choose again.Through prayer, we learn to desire God above lesser things. Through fasting, we discover how tightly we cling to what cannot save us. Through repentance, we unlock doors we have long kept barred. The ashes on our foreheads are not a sign of despair but of hope, hope that even dust may be raised to glory. As February 18th draws near, we would do well not to rush past it. Let us receive the ashes. Let us ponder the Last Things. Let us allow eternity to cast its searching and saving light upon our present lives.For it is only in remembering that we shall die that we truly learn how to live. Only in facing judgment that we begin, at last, to desire Heaven. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

The Apostle Paul teaches that while the Old Sin Nature has been put to death in believers, they continue to wrestle with the Flesh and may yield to its temptations. Pastor Rick interprets Paul's words in Romans 7:14-25 as a reflection on a period when Paul was disconnected from God—a frustrating season marked by attempts to live righteously apart from the Holy Spirit's presence and empowerment. The passage reveals a crucial truth: we lack the capacity within ourselves to experience the joyful, abundant life God intends. Paul recognizes that Christ alone is his hope, effectively preparing readers for the solution unveiled in Romans 8. This message was delivered at CrossPoint church.
Most believers know how to identify external witchcraft. Very few recognize when it is operating through their own flesh. In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Delisa Rodgers unpacks the Greek word sarx and exposes a powerful but often overlooked truth: unchecked flesh can function like witchcraft. Not through spells or rituals, but through emotional manipulation, rebellion, control, fear, and the unbridled tongue. This teaching confronts five subtle manifestations that influence atmospheres, frustrate relationships, and quietly resist the Spirit of God: • Emotional outbursts that control rooms • Rebellion disguised as conviction • Words that release death instead of life • Religious control masked as holiness • Fear of man that silences obedience If you have ever felt tension in a room that no one could explain… If you have ever sensed spiritual resistance that seemed personal… If you are serious about walking in maturity and spiritual authority… This episode will sharpen your discernment and call you higher. Galatians 5:16 reminds us: “Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” This is not about condemnation. It is about awareness. It is about crucifying what hinders you and cultivating what empowers you. Get ready to confront the flesh, protect your atmosphere, and walk in the Spirit with greater clarity than ever before.

In Part 1, we established the order: The Body communicates, the Soul interprets, and the Spirit leads. We looked at the Dashboard framework, the idea that physical gives us information, but is not the Driver.Today, we're getting tactical. We aren't just 'living' in a body; we are stewarding our temple. To do that effectively, we have to move beyond reacting to our symptoms and start training our physical frame to align with our Spirit.The Body vs. The Flesh: Know the DifferenceOne of the biggest points of confusion for believers is the difference between the Body and the Flesh.The Body is your physical frame, or the temple God gave you.The Flesh (or sin nature) is the carnal drive to satisfy self apart from God.When your body is in pain, it's a physical reality. When that pain demands you become bitter, fearful, or prayerless, that's the Flesh trying to take the wheel. Our goal isn't to punish the body; it's to quiet the flesh so the Spirit can be heard.The Living Sacrifice (Romans 12:1)We have often read Romans 12:1 about being a "living sacrifice," but we forget that a sacrifice has to stay on the altar."Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship."Presenting your body as a sacrifice doesn't mean ignoring your pain; it means submitting your pain to God's purpose. It's saying, "Lord, my knee hurts, or this diagnosis is scary, but I am submitting this physical thing to Your Spirit today." You are taking the "front line" of your life and putting it under His command.Discipline: Positioning, Not PerformanceI want to be very clear: Physical discipline is not about "earning" your healing or being "good enough" for God to move. Discipline is about positioning.Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9:27:"I discipline my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified."Why did Paul "bring" his body into submission? Because a loud, undisciplined body amplifies the flesh. When we lack discipline, whether in what we eat, how we rest, or things like fasting, the body's "voice" gets louder than the Spirit's.Discipline quiets the noise. It increases your spiritual sensitivity so that even when the body is in pain, your Spirit remains sharp.Read the rest at: https://litwithprayer.substack.com/p/the-body-part-2-training-the-temple

David Szalay won the Booker Prize for his sixth novel Flesh in 2025. In this tense, spare, frictionless work of fiction, he drip feeds us the story of the laconic male protagonist Istvan, who spends his youth in a juvenile facility in Hungary before eventually finding his way into a fractured family situated among the upper echelons of London's wealthiest elites, where his fortunes soon unravel.Flesh was celebrated as a return of the male gaze to modern literature, and to masculinity as a subject worthy of more sympathetic and complex consideration than the last decade arguably would suggest.For this episode, David chose to speak to Jack about The Information, a titanic Amis work in which a literary rivalry between the main characters Richard Tull and Gwyn Barry ripples out to the peripheries of middle class London life and conscripts the city's criminal fringes to help settle the score.David tells Jack why, especially after winning the Booker, he considers The Information literature's greatest tonic for writerly vanity. He recounts his discovery of Amis's work as a young man, and explains why Tull and Barry, though both excruciating to witness in their insecurities for the reader, are nevertheless relatable to writers who know the misery that ultimately binds them together.FOLLOW US ON TWITTER/ X: @mymartinamisFIND US ON YOUTUBE Hosted on Acast.

More than 50 years since the last infestation, Texas cattlemen are bracing for the screwworm's potential comeback. Cases are proliferating in a Mexican state that borders Texas, with the pest having escaped containment by an international eradication program that banished it for decades. In other news, the Dallas Police Department said two of its officers shot and killed a man Sunday evening after responding to reports of a person threatening to harm himself at an apartment complex in the Oak Lawn area. Also, about 41% of those celebrating Valentine's Day plan to eat at home rather than go out, a shift tied in part to tighter budgets and a desire for simpler plans; and is Delilah, Dallas' sexiest new restaurant, worth the hype?

Our Outline: “Paul Learns Liberty From His Bondage to the Flesh Through Its Dominion”The Law Is Good, But It Provokes A Deep-Seated Task Master Within, SinThe Facts of Our Struggle Prove the Bondage of the WillThis Conflict Between the Flesh and the Spirit Has No Human SolutionOh, Blessed Grace: Christ Himself Is Our Deliverer from This Enslavement!
Assurance of Salvation Many people assume they are saved, but lack a deep, confident assurance. They cannot articulate a specific experience or transformation that confirms their salvation. They rely on assumptions rather than a solid foundation of faith. The Pharisees believed they had eternal life because of their knowledge of scripture, but they did not recognize Jesus as the Son of God. They failed to see Christ in the Old Testament, which is full of references and pictures of Him. They knew the scriptures but did not believe in Jesus. It’s not enough to just think you are saved; you must know you are saved. Relying on feelings is unreliable because feelings can fluctuate. Assurance comes from God’s Word and His Spirit working together. Avoid trying to figure out salvation through your own thinking. Salvation is not achieved by accident; it requires being born again. God offers grace to everyone, teaching us to deny ungodliness and live righteously. Some Christians struggle with assurance, but there comes a day when the Holy Spirit and the Word of God confirm their salvation. The goal is to move from thinking you are saved to knowing you are saved. Personal experience: There was a period of wrestling with salvation, but eventually came to a place of knowing through the Word and the Spirit. How to Know You Are Saved These points also reveal if you are not saved. The converse statements are present in the scriptures. Don’t let your mind dictate truth; rely on simple faith and belief from the heart. 1. Walking in the Light (1 John 1:7) If you are saved, you have come out of the darkness of the world and into the light of Christ. When a light is turned on in a dark room, you know it. There is an assurance that the darkness has been dispelled from your life. This is not about intellectual comprehension but about a transformational experience. It’s not about reasoning or understanding the English language. It’s about no longer living in darkness. Personal Testimony: Once lived in darkness, but no longer there. Something happened at salvation that changed everything. It’s not of this world; it’s of God. 2. Keeping His Commandments (1 John 2:3-4) You know that you know Him if you keep His commandments. If you claim to know Him but do not keep His commandments, you are a liar. We often lie to ourselves, convincing ourselves that our sin doesn’t matter. Jesus summarized the commandments as: Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. Love your neighbor as yourself. If you are born again, you will have a desire to keep God’s commandments. If you are not saved, you have no desire to please God. Even though we fail, there is an internal desire to do what God says. When lost, there was no desire to please God, but after salvation, there is a desire to obey Him. Rules from parents were for good, teaching right and wrong. Being born again submits you to the desire to do right. Those who deceive themselves about salvation are still trying to figure it out within themselves. If you are not born again, you won’t stick with it. Flesh is contrary to serving God, but something greater within makes you want to obey God. 3. Keeping His Word (1 John 2:5) If you keep His word, the love of God is perfected in you. You will want to do what He said to do. You will want to keep all of His word, not just the “do’s and don’ts.” Psalm 119: Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto, to every word that cometh from him. Every word is beneficial. His Word is hidden in the heart so that you might not sin against God. Thinking about being saved is how you confuse yourself if you have not really been saved. People die every day thinking they are alright with God but have never been born again. 4. Loving Not the World (1 John 2:15-16) If you love the world, the love of the Father is not in you. James 4:4: If you are a friend of the world, you are an enemy to God. The things of the world include the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. When you are saved, you no longer love the world; you love God. Nothing in the world truly satisfies your soul. Allegiance shifts from following the devil to following God. Salvation is an event, not a process. It happens right here, right now. Your name is written down, and you become a child of God. You cannot love the world and love the Father. You cannot have two masters. If you still love the world, the love of the Father is not in you. The reason for preaching is because you are not yet condemned. God has made a way through the death, resurrection, and shed blood of His Son. A transformation occurs within your life that changes you. 2 Corinthians 5:17: If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. If you are born again, your love comes, and the love of the world dissipates. 5. Having the Holy Spirit (1 John 2:20) You have an unction from the Holy One, and you know all things. When you get saved, the Holy Spirit of God is given to you. The Holy Ghost of God lives inside of you. The first four points are to the heart, but the mind can still get involved. You can think yourself into a righteous position, but God said you never could do that. Your righteousness is filthy rags in His eyes. Being indwelt by the Holy Ghost separates things. You cannot fight that. The Spirit of God bears witness within you. If you have the Holy Spirit, you know it. It’s like having a $100 bill in your pocket; you know you have it. If you get saved, you will know. The Holy Spirit of Christ dwells in you. You are born of the Spirit. The power to beget you was the Spirit. The Holy Spirit purges, cleanses, and seals you. That’s why you cannot be untamed or lost tomorrow. The Holy Spirit did the work; you could not do it yourself. 6. Not Practicing Sin (1 John 3:9) Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin, for His seed remaineth in him. This does not mean you never sin, but that you do not practice sin. You do not live in sin. Those born of God do not live in sin. They may sin and find forgiveness through repentance. But they do not practice it. If you are still practicing your old sins, you are probably not born again. He takes away the desire to do the things of this world and gives you a new desire. What you once loved, you now hate; what you once hated, you now love. Romans 8:9: If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. You do not wake up thinking about partying. If that has not left you, you have never been changed. There is something on the inside that is greater than the world. You can overcome the lust of the world, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. 7. Loving the Brethren (1 John 3:14, 4:7) You know that you have passed from death unto life because you love the brethren. If you hate your brother, you are in darkness even until now. The old song: “It makes me love everybody.” We know that we have passed from death unto life because we keep on loving. Even those who are unlovable. Love is of God, and everyone that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. If the Holy Spirit of God is not dealing with you, you cannot be saved. It is not a thinking thing; it is an order thing. The Holy Spirit of God rests in your soul. The Holy Spirit captures you and explains that you are against God, a sinner, and going to hell. You believe Him. You know you are wrong. If the Holy Spirit of God has said to you that you are lost, in doubt, and want to stay eternally, you are going to be saved. The process starts with knowing that you are lost and asking Him to save you. In that same instant, you can know that you are saved. Search the scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life, but they testify of me. If you search the scriptures and do not see Christ, you are not saved. Stay with us if you are not right with God.
By Bill Wassner - Obviously, the purpose of this mortal life is to be prepared for the next: immortal life. God conceives within us His nature. That is what makes us the children of God. With His help, we bring the attributes of that nature to fruition, guaranteeing that when born into the spirit realm we will never

What does it mean to be ill? In episode 159 of Overthink, Ellie and David discuss illness. They explore how illness has been mythologized, how it may alienate us from our bodies, and how it impacts social relationships. Is science the solution to the mythologization of illness, or is the scientific model of illness its own form of mythology? How should we conceptualize illness? Is it as a “deviation” from a norm? And if so, what norm? Finally, what can we learn about illness from a phenomenological approach that centers the patient's first-person experience? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts think about the distinction between the mental and the physical in connection to illness and the intersection between mind and body in illness.
