Even as Americans are dealing with the fallout of Elon Musk's devastating cuts to the federal government when Donald Trump let him run amok, with new terrible consequences still coming to light on a regular basis, Musk is reportedly planning on trying to use his vast wealth to influence the midterm elections in favor of Republicans. Polls suggest his involvement may do Republicans more harm than good. Alex Isenstadt, senior political reporter for Axios, Norm Eisen, founder of Democracy Defenders Action, and Democratic strategist Chuck Rocha discuss the many advantages Democrats are pursuing in the midterm elections. Stacey Young, an 18-year Justice Department veteran, and Norm Eisen, founder of Democracy Defenders Action, discuss Donald Trump's effort to install his criminal defense attorney as U.S. attorney general. A new report from Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security Committee shows how Donald Trump's deep cuts to counterterrorism agencies and repurposing of law enforcement resources to investigate his political enemies, his personal conspiracy theories and political pet projects has undermined important counterterrorism measures put in place after 9/11. Former CIA director John Brennan joins to discuss. Whether because of bad advice, manipulation or foolhardiness, Donald Trump apparently thought his military adventure against Iran would be quick and easy, and now reports say he is in a frustrated rage over his own inability to escape the conflict as Americans grow increasingly bitter at the hardships Trump's folly has wrought. Admiral John Kirby, former White House national security communications advisor, joins to discuss the challenge Trump is facing.

Welcome to Day 2915 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2915 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 146:1-10 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2915 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2915 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Sovereign Creator and the Frailty of Princes – Unveiling the Eternal Helper On our previous podcast, on Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Thirteen, we reached a momentous milestone in our journey through the Book of Psalms, as we closed out Psalm One Hundred Forty-Five—the very last psalm explicitly attributed to King David in the Psalter. In that glorious acrostic hymn, we listened as the old warrior king handed off the baton of praise to every generation, exalting Yahweh's unsearchable greatness, His open-handed generosity, and His everlasting kingdom. Today, as we step onto Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Fifteen of our trek, we enter a brand-new, breathtaking chapter in the Psalms. We are beginning what biblical scholars call the "Final Hallel"—a grand, five-psalm crescendo comprised of Psalms One Hundred Forty-Six through One Hundred Fifty. Every single one of these five concluding psalms begins and ends with the majestic Hebrew command: Hallelu-YAH—Praise the Lord! We are moving from the individual testimony of David into the unanimous, triumphant doxology of the entire redeemed assembly. Today, we step directly onto the trail of Psalm One Hundred Forty-Six, verses one through ten, discovering where true human hope must be anchored. The first segment is: The Unceasing Vow: Praise with Every Dying Breath Let us open our ears to the exuberant opening movement of this psalm, where the writer groups his initial thoughts together in verse one and verse two. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath. The psalmist begins with a passionate, double declaration of praise, commanding his own inner being: “Praise the Lord, O my soul!” He vows to pour out praise to Yahweh as long as he lives, continuing this song of adoration even with his very dying breath. To fully grasp the theological depth of these opening lines, we must view them through the Ancient Israelite divine-council worldview. In the ancient mindset, human life-breath—known as neshamah or ruach—was not merely a biological phenomenon. It was the direct, miraculous gift of life imparted into human nostrils by the Sovereign Creator Himself. The gods of the surrounding pagan nations were lifeless idols, carved from stone or wood, completely unable to breathe, speak, or grant life to their worshippers. But Yahweh is the vibrant, uncreated Source of all animated existence! Therefore, as long as divine breath fills human lungs, that breath is designed to return to its Source in continuous, grateful worship. The psalmist pledges that even when physical strength wanes, and the body approaches the grave, the final sound slipping past human lips will be an anthem of praise to the King of heaven. The second segment is: The Folly of Trusting Mortals: Princes Returning to Dust The narrative takes a stark, brilliant turn in verse three and verse four, contrasting the eternal God with the extreme frailty of human political power. Don't put your trust in human leaders; no human can save you. When their breath departs, they return to the earth; on that very day their plans come to nothing. Here, the psalmist issues an urgent, unvarnished warning: “Don't put your trust in human leaders; no human can save you.” He explains that when their breath departs, these leaders return to the dust of the earth, and on that exact day, all their grand political, economic, and military plans dissolve into absolute nothingness. To truly appreciate this warning, we must examine it through the cosmic framework of ancient history. In the ancient Near East, kings, princes, and emperors routinely claimed divine status, presenting themselves as living gods or unique representatives of powerful spiritual principalities. Subjects were tempted to place their ultimate hope, national security, and personal salvation in these powerful monarchs. But the psalmist strips away all royal pretense! He deliberately uses the Hebrew word adam for human, reminding us that even the most powerful prince is made of adamah—mere dust from the ground. When a mortal leader dies, his spirit leaves him, his body decays back into the soil, and every policy, treaty, and military campaign he engineered vanishes instantly. In a world full of shifting geopolitics, human arrogance, and ideological promises, true wisdom urges us never to anchor our ultimate trust in mortal leaders who cannot even save themselves. The third segment is: The Cosmic Creator: The Unshakeable Anchor of Hope Having exposed the futility of trusting in mortals, the psalmist points us directly to the unshakeable anchor of true joy, combining the logical thoughts found in verse five and verse six. But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the Lord their God. He made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever. The text bursts forth with a glorious beatitude, declaring, “Joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the Lord their God.” The writer then grounds this joy in Yahweh's cosmic credentials, proclaiming that He made heaven, earth, the sea, and everything in them, and that He keeps every promise forever! This is a massive, explicit claim of supreme cosmic authority! In the ancient divine-council worldview, foreign nations believed that their localized deities ruled specific, limited domains—Baal ruled the skies and weather, Yam ruled the chaotic seas, and Mot ruled the underworld. But the psalmist declares that Yahweh, the God of Jacob, is the singular, ultimate Architect of all three cosmic tiers: heaven, earth, and the roaring oceans! While human rulers break treaties, default on promises, and pass away into dust, the Creator of the cosmos remains forever faithful. His character is unchangeable, His power is limitless, and His covenants are backed by the full, eternal authority of His heavenly throne. The fourth segment is: The King of Justice: Liberator, Healer, and Protector The psalmist now unfolds the practical, compassionate expression of Yahweh's rule on earth, weaving together the contiguous thoughts in verse seven, verse eight, and verse nine. He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly. The Lord protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, but he frustrates the plans of the wicked. Look at this magnificent, nine-fold manifesto of divine justice! Yahweh gives justice to the oppressed, food to the hungry, freedom to prisoners, vision to the blind, and comfort to those weighed down by life's heavy burdens. He loves the godly, protects vulnerable foreigners, and sustains orphans and widows, while actively dismantling and frustrating the schemes of the wicked. This passage provides a staggering portrait of divine kingdom ethics. In the ancient world, pagan deities and earthly tyrants catered exclusively to the elite, exploiting the poor, the stranger, and the fatherless to build their monuments. But Yahweh proves His supreme kingship precisely by championing the most vulnerable and marginalized members of society! Notice how every single action is prefixed with the divine name: The Lord frees, The Lord opens eyes, The Lord lifts up, The Lord protects! This list directly anticipates the miracle ministry of Jesus Christ, who entered human history to fulfill these exact words—healing the blind, feeding the hungry, liberating spiritual captives, and bringing the gospel to the poor. Furthermore, while Yahweh embraces the humble, He sets Himself in direct opposition to the arrogant, ensuring that their oppressive plans will ultimately crumble into chaos. The fifth segment is: The Eternal Reign: Zion's Unending Anthem The psalm reaches its ultimate, triumphant crescendo in verse ten,...

Every day, you're accepting an invitation.The question is: which table are you sitting at?In Proverbs 9, Solomon paints a powerful picture of two invitations. Wisdom prepares a feast that leads to life, understanding, and a deeper relationship with God. Folly also extends an invitation but hers is built on deception, temporary pleasure, and ultimately destruction. Although both voices call for our attention, only one leads to lasting fulfillment.In this episode of the Harvest Focus, Pastor Seth Wilkerson walks verse by verse through Proverbs 9, exploring the contrast between Wisdom and Folly and showing how every decision we make moves us toward one table or the other. We'll discover why our choices matter, how the fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom, and why God's invitation is still available to anyone willing to respond.No one can sit at both tables forever. Every day we choose which voice to follow, which invitation to accept, and which path will shape our future.

1 A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold. 2 The rich and the poor have this in common: Yahweh is the maker of them all. 3 A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it. 4 The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh is wealth, honor, and life. 5 Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked; whoever guards his soul stays from them. 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. 7 The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender. 8 He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed. 9 He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor. 10 Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop. 11 He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully is the king's friend. 12 Yahweh's eyes watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful. 13 The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!” 14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit. He who is under Yahweh's wrath will fall into it. 15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline drives it far from him. 16 Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty. 17 Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching. 18 For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips. 19 I teach you today, even you, so that your trust may be in Yahweh. 20 Haven't I written to you thirty excellent things of counsel and knowledge, 21 To teach you truth, reliable words, to give sound answers to the ones who sent you? 22 Don't exploit the poor because he is poor; and don't crush the needy in court; 23 for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them. 24 Don't befriend a hot-tempered man. Don't associate with one who harbors anger, 25 lest you learn his ways and ensnare your soul. 26 Don't you be one of those who strike hands, of those who are collateral for debts. 27 If you don't have means to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you? 28 Don't move the ancient boundary stone which your fathers have set up. 29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings. He won't serve obscure men. Listen Donate Subscribe:Proverbs Daily PodcastPsalms Daily Podcast

This chapter involves Tolstoy's craftsmanship of one of the most famous duels in fiction. It starts with Captain Denísov announcing the formalities and giving a vigorous countdown. On the count of three, each can advance and fire their one shot before reaching sabres that marked ten paces from the other. Dolokhov walked calmly without raising his pistol. He donned a wry smile and looked intently as he traveled though a fairly clear path. Pierre, however, ambulated clumsily and found himself encumbered by snow. Pierre held the pistol in a way that made little sense, with his right hand fully extended from his body. He was afraid of shooting himself.  Pierre visualized Dolokhov through the mist then bent his finger.  He had fired his only shot. Pierre shuddered at the sound and then stood still   The smoke from the gun mixed with the mist, making it difficult for anyone to see.  There was no return fire! Eventually, Pierre saw and heard Dolokhov coming toward him through the smoke. Dolokhov's face was pale and he was pressing a hand to his left side, where he had been hit. The hand was visibly bloody by reason a wound to the body.  The other hand now clutched a drooping pistol. Rostov ran toward Dolokhov and tried to ascertain his condition but Dolohov repelled him saying “No! It's not over.” After a few staggering steps up to the sabre, Dolokhov sank in the snow. Pierre was about to cry and began running toward his adversary, with the result being that this big man was making himself a bigger target. He was ready to cross the space between the barriers, when Dolokhov cried out: “To your barrier!”  Pierre stopped and only ten paces divided them. Dolokhov, though severely weakened, had every intention of returning fire.  He sat up, with his breathing consisting of sucking in and swallowing the cold air. His eyes found their target and with effort and exasperation he raised the pistol. Both Nesvitski and Denisov cried out for Pierre, who did not know the customs of dueling, to make himself a smaller target.   Nevertheless, Pierre was overcome with remorse and become that gentle soul consistent with his nature. Each duelist is brought back to their essence.  Dolokhov is trying take Pierre with him and Pierre, wearing a gentle smile of pity and remorse, involuntarily holds his arms and legs helplessly spread with his broad chest facing Dolokhov. Denísov, Rostov and Nesvítski closed their eyes…….and heard the return fire. What followed was Dolokhov's angry cry of “Missed!”  The experienced soldier and duelist was then reduced to a helpless mess, lying face down on the snow. Pierre clutched his temples and stumbled around muttering incoherently:  “Folly! Vanity! Death! Lies!”  Nesvitski soon took Pierre home while Rostov and Denisov carried Dolokhov to a sleigh.   Dolokhov felt he was dying and became focused on what would be the reaction of his poor and elderly mother. This shocked Denisov and Rostov and is meant to surprise you – that this rogue and gambler who been through worst of war, was from a small family were he adored and cared for an elderly mother and crippled sister in Moscow.  Dolokhov held Rostov's hand and cried:  “Mamma, my angel, my adored angelic mother.” He implored Nicholas to go on ahead and prepare her for the worst

1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. 2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools gush out folly. 3 Yahweh's eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good. 4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but deceit in it crushes the spirit. 5 A fool despises his father's correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence. 6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure, but the income of the wicked brings trouble. 7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so with the heart of fools. 8 The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight. 9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but he loves him who follows after righteousness. 10 There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way. Whoever hates reproof shall die. 11 Sheol and Abaddon are before Yahweh— how much more then the hearts of the children of men! 12 A scoffer doesn't love to be reproved; he will not go to the wise. 13 A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but an aching heart breaks the spirit. 14 The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly. 15 All the days of the afflicted are wretched, but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast. 16 Better is little, with the fear of Yahweh, than great treasure with trouble. 17 Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, than a fattened calf with hatred. 18 A wrathful man stirs up contention, but one who is slow to anger appeases strife. 19 The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch, but the path of the upright is a highway. 20 A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish man despises his mother. 21 Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding keeps his way straight. 22 Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established. 23 Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time! 24 The path of life leads upward for the wise, to keep him from going downward to Sheol. 25 Yahweh will uproot the house of the proud, but he will keep the widow's borders intact. 26 Yahweh detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the thoughts of the pure are pleasing. 27 He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes will live. 28 The heart of the righteous weighs answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil. 29 Yahweh is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous. 30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news gives health to the bones. 31 The ear that listens to reproof lives, and will be at home among the wise. 32 He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who listens to reproof gets understanding. 33 The fear of Yahweh teaches wisdom. Before honor is humility. Listen Donate Subscribe: Proverbs Daily Podcast Psalms Daily Podcast

Understanding the "fear of the Lord" begins with recognizing God's character. Proverbs 8:13 reminds us that reverence for God is not about living in constant terror but about honoring Him so deeply that we reject what He calls evil. As we grow in our relationship with Christ, obedience becomes less about fear of punishment and more about love, trust, and respect for the One who is perfectly holy and perfectly good. This devotion encourages believers to move beyond a distorted view of God as someone waiting for them to fail. Instead, Scripture reveals a Father who calls His children to walk in wisdom, love, and holiness. Genuine reverence for God transforms our hearts, shaping the way we speak, make decisions, and respond to temptation because we desire to reflect His character. Highlights: Reverence for God grows out of knowing His holy and loving character Respecting the Lord leads us to reject pride, evil, and sinful behavior Obedience is rooted in love for Christ, not merely fear of consequences God's desire is to draw His people closer, not push them away through intimidation A healthy view of God inspires joyful faithfulness and spiritual growth Join the Conversation When you hear the phrase "fear the Lord," what comes to mind?

Full Transcript Below: What it Means to Respect the LordBy Vivian Bricker Bible Reading:“To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech” (Proverbs 8:13). Many of us grew up hearing about the fear of the Lord. As someone who did not grow up in the church, I didn't hear about this until much later. However, I can imagine the anxiety it raised in the hearts of children. The idea of fearing the Lord suggests that we are supposed to be afraid of Him. When we look at the Bible, we don't see Jesus as a scary, fear-mongering God. Instead, we see Him being born into the world as an innocent baby on one silent night (Luke 2:11). Fearing the Lord has bred many problems within preaching as well as theology in general. This is because far too many people take fear to literally mean being afraid—and this is a completely reasonable conclusion to draw. Some translations include footnotes to guide the reader; however, for most of us who are reading the New International Version or the King James Version, the word remains “fear.” When I was in Bible college, a professor went over this exact issue. Anytime the Bible uses the phrase “the fear of the Lord,” it refers to respecting the Lord. My professor said a more accurate understanding of these passages would be “the respect of the Lord.” To respect Him is to love Him. While many people will continue to preach the message of fear, we must remember that fear doesn't last… love does. If someone places faith in Jesus and follows Him out of fear, their faith will not stand. They will only be obeying Him because they fear Him. With time, their obedience will waver because they won't be afraid of Him anymore. However, if a person loves God and respects Him out of this love, their conversion will be true. Their obedience to Him will also show up in their daily life because they are walking in true love and respect for the Lord. They won't fear the Lord because they know Jesus is not “out to get them” or waiting for them to fall. Far too many believers think this is how God works, but it is not true. God is not a mean God who tries to get you to mess up. The person who does this is the devil. God is the one who is standing by your side, supporting you, encouraging you, and lifting you up (Romans 8:31). Intersecting Faith & Life: The Bible says, “To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech” (Proverbs 8:13). Once again, rather than understanding this passage as “To fear the Lord,” we are to know it means “To respect the Lord.” Therefore, to respect the Lord is to hate evil. The Lord hates evil, pride, arrogance, and perverse speech. Those who adhere to these practices will be brought to judgment. Those who continue down this wicked road, ignore God's wisdom, and fail to seek it will pay the due penalties. Folly and wickedness will lead to falling, separation from God, and an eternity of pain. As Christ followers, we should have the highest respect for God. Respecting Him means we don't take part in evil or wicked schemes. Instead, we will obey Him. Jesus tells us, “If you love me, keep my commands” (John 14:15). The Lord’s teachings are nourishment to our bones and will fill our hearts with extraordinary joy. If the fear of the Lord has brought you away from God, allow this new understanding to give you renewed hope. God doesn't want you to fear Him. Rather, He wants you to love Him and to respect Him. By doing this, you will follow Him all your days, continue to grow in Him, and help others to know about Him. Did you hear about the fear of the Lord growing up? Did it affect you negatively? How might you start learning what it means to respect the Lord rather than to fear Him?

Bill Maynard preaches from Galatians 3:1-14. Paul reproves the Galatian Christians for trusting in human works to try and perfect their salvation. He reveals the folly of this “works righteousness” by drawing on their own experience of being saved by grace through faith and then by unpacking Old Testament teachings about Abraham and the Law itself. He emphasizes the centrality of the Cross as God's plan and means for salvation. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

PROVERBS 9 | THE TWO TABLES, THE TWO VOICES, THE FINAL VERDICTWHAT WE COVERProverbs 9 brings the introduction to Proverbs to its judicial conclusion by presenting two invitations, two tables, and one final decision.We examine:• Wisdom's prepared house and covenant invitation • Why correction reveals the heart before the table is chosen • The fear of Yahuah as the beginning of true discernment • Why Folly counterfeits Wisdom instead of opposing her openly • The deception of stolen waters and hidden bread • How Folly conceals what Wisdom openly declares • Why the dead are already at Folly's table • The final verdict between the way of life and the way of deathWHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSProverbs 8 ended with Wisdom openly declaring where she leads.Proverbs 9 places Wisdom and Folly before the same people in the same city, issuing competing invitations.The question is no longer whether Wisdom has spoken.The question is whether the covenant heart possesses the fear of Yahuah necessary to discern the difference.One voice prepares the table before extending the invitation.The other conceals the destination until the choice has already been made.The invitation is public.The evidence is complete.The verdict belongs to the table we choose.SCRIPTURE REFERENCESProverbs 9:1-18Proverbs 8:35-36Proverbs 7:27Job 28:28Psalm 111:10Deuteronomy 30:15-20Matthew 7:13-14James 1:14-15ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.

Title: Of Folly and Power: The Cross of Christ Passage: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 The Lord Turns Wisdom on Its Head A Stumbling Block and Folly, Wisdom and Power

Main Idea: As you pursue wisdom, recognize its limits and entrust yourself to God. 1. When Wisdom Seems Weak (9:13–10:4) 2. When Life Defies Explanation (10:5–11) 3. When Words Become Dangerous (10:12–20) 4. When the Future Requires Risk (11:1–6)

The Folly of Possessions Brandon Rodriguez Imagine you had one question to ask Jesus Himself while He walked the earth. What would you ask? Deep theology? The mysteries of the universe? One man in the crowd asked about his inheritance. While Jesus was teaching His disciples to fear God rather than man and to trust in His provision, this man demanded Jesus settle a family dispute over money. But Jesus saw the real problem. He knew this man's heart was gripped by covetousness, by an excessive desire for possessions that had become his god. So Jesus told him a parable about a rich farmer who had such an abundant harvest he couldn't store it all. The farmer decided to tear down his barns and build bigger ones so he could retire, eat, drink, and be merry. But that very night, God called him a fool. All his planning, all his possessions, all his security meant nothing when his soul was required of him. God asked, "Now who will own what you have prepared?"Here's what Jesus wants you to understand. Your life is not measured by what you own. Your identity is not found in your bank account or your retirement plan or your stuff. You are a child of God, and that is your greatest identity. Every possession you have is temporary. Every earthly treasure will belong to someone else one day. But treasures stored in heaven last forever. So the question for you today is this: Are you storing up treasure for yourself, or are you rich toward God? Use everything He has blessed you with for His glory. Give faithfully. Serve regularly. Invest in spreading the gospel. Because when you trust in God with everything you have, you discover the only wealth that truly matters.

The chapter exposes the difference between the voice that leads to life and every competing voice that hides its true destination.The issue is not whether Wisdom has spoken.The issue is whether we will receive what she openly declares.SCRIPTURE REFERENCESProverbs 8:1-36Proverbs 7:27Proverbs 23:23Genesis 2:16-17Genesis 3:1-6Psalm 104:24Jeremiah 10:12Deuteronomy 30:15-20ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.

In this Listener Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan answers questions on Iran, where Oman just agreed to help Tehran administer the Strait of Hormuz, and lays out why he believes the US ended up in a lose-lose position and how Trump could still flip the script. Bryan reads leaked remarks attributed to Iran's effective leader claiming the regime brought Trump to his knees and plans to keep the US on a short leash, then digs into a listener question about Michigan forgiving medical debt despite research showing it backfires. That leads to a deeper history lesson on Founding Father James Wilson and what Bryan calls "Wilson's Folly," the case the Founders made against full direct democracy, with fresh examples from NYC's Socialist wave. Plus, a run of good news for a listener in Kansas, including 146,000 missing migrant children located, a fraud crackdown on immigration lawyers, a court win on a Philadelphia history exhibit, $17.5 billion in loans for new nuclear reactors, and dye-free M&Ms coming this August.

1 A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold. 2 The rich and the poor have this in common: Yahweh is the maker of them all. 3 A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it. 4 The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh is wealth, honor, and life. 5 Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked; whoever guards his soul stays from them. 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. 7 The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender. 8 He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed. 9 He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor. 10 Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop. 11 He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully is the king's friend. 12 Yahweh's eyes watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful. 13 The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!” 14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit. He who is under Yahweh's wrath will fall into it. 15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline drives it far from him. 16 Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty. 17 Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching. 18 For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips. 19 I teach you today, even you, so that your trust may be in Yahweh. 20 Haven't I written to you thirty excellent things of counsel and knowledge, 21 To teach you truth, reliable words, to give sound answers to the ones who sent you? 22 Don't exploit the poor because he is poor; and don't crush the needy in court; 23 for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them. 24 Don't befriend a hot-tempered man. Don't associate with one who harbors anger, 25 lest you learn his ways and ensnare your soul. 26 Don't you be one of those who strike hands, of those who are collateral for debts. 27 If you don't have means to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you? 28 Don't move the ancient boundary stone which your fathers have set up. 29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings. He won't serve obscure men. Listen Donate Subscribe:Proverbs Daily PodcastPsalms Daily Podcast

"The Folly of the Jews" John 6:22-48 Dan Jaussen Download Sermons Archive RSS John 6:22-48 On the following day, when the people who were standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except that one which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with His disciples, but His disciples had gone away alone— 23 however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks— 24 when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they also got into boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. 25 And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did You come here?”26 Jesus answered them and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. 27 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”30 Therefore they said to Him, “What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.' ”32 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”34 Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”41 The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” 42 And they said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven'?”43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. 48 I am the bread of life.2 Timothy 3:12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecutionRomans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.Psalm 51:10-12 Create in me a clean heart, O God,And renew a steadfast spirit within me.11 Do not cast me away from Your presence,And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.Mark 1:14-15 Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” Sermon Discussion Questions:What were the intentions of the crowd following JesusWhat does it mean to eat and drink of Christ?What does Jesus mean by "The one who comes to me, I will by no means cast out"?What reason did Jesus give for the unbelieve of the Jews?What do the great truths discussed today mean for us?

Ecclesiastes 10 warns that even small acts of foolishness can have devastating consequences, while wisdom quietly protects every area of life. Solomon encourages us to guard our words, sharpen our skills, stay humble, lead responsibly, and handle problems with patience rather than panic. By inviting God's wisdom into our daily decisions, we can avoid unnecessary regret and live with greater faithfulness and purpose.

Tuesday June 9, 2026II Week After PentecostIn today's episode, Proverbs 9 brings the opening section of Proverbs to a powerful conclusion by presenting two competing invitations: the call of Wisdom and the call of Folly.Lady Wisdom calls out with truth, offering understanding, maturity, and life.In contrast, Lady Folly is loud, seductive, and deceptive. She promises excitement and secret pleasures, but she hides the fact that her path leads to destruction.The chapter reminds us that life is shaped by the invitations we accept. Every day we are presented with choices that either draw us closer to God's wisdom or lure us toward foolishness. The difference often comes down to humility—the willingness to receive correction, seek understanding, and submit our lives to God's truth.

Ecclesiastes 9:1–17 frames life “under the sun” as a repeated meditation on meaning, mortality, and posture toward the ordinary. Ecclesiastes uses steady iterations—like a song reworked over time—to press a dark but honest diagnosis: life without appeal beyond the present age looks empty, arbitrary, and often cruel. Nihilism shows up in several forms—existential loneliness, moral relativism, epistemic skepticism, and cultural breakdown—and the text treats each as a current that shapes modern thought and practice. Solomon observes that death levels distinctions: the righteous and wicked share the same end, and social honors mean nothing at the grave. Solomon pushes the logic of meaninglessness to a blunt conclusion and then counsels a counterintuitive response. The text counsels feasting, enjoyment of one's spouse, diligent work, and celebration—not as naïve hedonism but as prudent embrace of the gifts available in a limited life. Solomon argues for taking pleasure in ordinary provisions and relationships because time and chance make outcomes unpredictable; fortunes turn by luck as often as by wisdom. The narrative's brief portrait of a wise man who risks and gives himself to save a small city—and is forgotten and despised afterward—becomes the book's single declaration of greatness. Solomon elevates self‑giving wisdom over reputation, wealth, and achievement. The story of a nameless rescuer reframes true greatness as sacrificial service for the insignificant rather than accumulation of prestige. The Old Testament portrait points forward to the supreme example of kenotic wisdom: the incarnate King who humbled himself for the salvation of those who could not save themselves. For those anchored in that redemption, meaning and hope outrun luck and the leveling power of death, and present joys become signs of a fuller promise to come.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren's recent tirade against private equity is a libelous set of dishonest manure that should be treated as seriously as any attempt to broadly demonize private equity these days, which is not at all.  Whether the Senator's problem is intellectual or just in telling the truth, she is wrong in so many ways that today's Capital Record gives us a chance to set the record straight.  You will be better off for hearing it, which is never true when one listens to today's private equity critics.
