2 Epiphany First Psalm: Psalm 30; Psalm 32 Psalm 30 (Listen) Joy Comes with the Morning A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple. 30   I will extol you, O LORD, for you have drawn me up    and have not let my foes rejoice over me.2   O LORD my God, I cried to you for help,    and you have healed me.3   O LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;    you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.1 4   Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints,    and give thanks to his holy name.25   For his anger is but for a moment,    and his favor is for a lifetime.3  Weeping may tarry for the night,    but joy comes with the morning. 6   As for me, I said in my prosperity,    “I shall never be moved.”7   By your favor, O LORD,    you made my mountain stand strong;  you hid your face;    I was dismayed. 8   To you, O LORD, I cry,    and to the Lord I plead for mercy:9   “What profit is there in my death,4    if I go down to the pit?5  Will the dust praise you?    Will it tell of your faithfulness?10   Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me!    O LORD, be my helper!” 11   You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;    you have loosed my sackcloth    and clothed me with gladness,12   that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.    O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever! Footnotes [1] 30:3 Or to life, that I should not go down to the pit [2] 30:4 Hebrew to the memorial of his holiness (see Exodus 3:15) [3] 30:5 Or and in his favor is life [4] 30:9 Hebrew in my blood [5] 30:9 Or to corruption (ESV) Psalm 32 (Listen) Blessed Are the Forgiven A Maskil1 of David. 32   Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,    whose sin is covered.2   Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity,    and in whose spirit there is no deceit. 3   For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away    through my groaning all day long.4   For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;    my strength was dried up2 as by the heat of summer. Selah 5   I acknowledged my sin to you,    and I did not cover my iniquity;  I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,”    and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah 6   Therefore let everyone who is godly    offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found;  surely in the rush of great waters,    they shall not reach him.7   You are a hiding place for me;    you preserve me from trouble;    you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah 8   I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;    I will counsel you with my eye upon you.9   Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,    which must be curbed with bit and bridle,    or it will not stay near you. 10   Many are the sorrows of the wicked,    but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD.11   Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, O righteous,    and shout for joy, all you upright in heart! Footnotes [1] 32:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term [2] 32:4 Hebrew my vitality was changed (ESV) Second Psalm: Psalms 42–43 Psalms 42–43 (Listen) Book Two Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul? To the choirmaster. A Maskil1 of the Sons of Korah. 42   As a deer pants for flowing streams,    so pants my soul for you, O God.2   My soul thirsts for God,    for the living God.  When shall I come and appear before God?23   My tears have been my food    day and night,  while they say to me all the day long,    “Where is your God?”4   These things I remember,    as I pour out my soul:  how I would go with the throng    and lead them in procession to the house of God  with glad shouts and songs of praise,    a multitude keeping festival. 5   Why are you cast down, O my soul,    and why are you in turmoil within me?  Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,    my salvation3 6 and my God.   My soul is cast down within me;    therefore I remember you  from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,    from Mount Mizar.7   Deep calls to deep    at the roar of your waterfalls;  all your breakers and your waves    have gone over me.8   By day the LORD commands his steadfast love,    and at night his song is with me,    a prayer to the God of my life.9   I say to God, my rock:    “Why have you forgotten me?  Why do I go mourning    because of the oppression of the enemy?”10   As with a deadly wound in my bones,    my adversaries taunt me,  while they say to me all the day long,    “Where is your God?” 11   Why are you cast down, O my soul,    and why are you in turmoil within me?  Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,    my salvation and my God. Send Out Your Light and Your Truth 43   Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause    against an ungodly people,  from the deceitful and unjust man    deliver me!2   For you are the God in whom I take refuge;    why have you rejected me?  Why do I go about mourning    because of the oppression of the enemy? 3   Send out your light and your truth;    let them lead me;  let them bring me to your holy hill    and to your dwelling!4   Then I will go to the altar of God,    to God my exceeding joy,  and I will praise you with the lyre,    O God, my God. 5   Why are you cast down, O my soul,    and why are you in turmoil within me?  Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,    my salvation and my God. Footnotes [1] 42:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term [2] 42:2 Revocalization yields and see the face of God [3] 42:5 Hebrew the salvation of my face; also verse 11 and 43:5 (ESV) Old Testament: Genesis 12:9–13:1 Genesis 12:9–13:1 (Listen) 9 And Abram journeyed on, still going toward the Negeb. Abram and Sarai in Egypt 10 Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land. 11 When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “I know that you are a woman beautiful in appearance, 12 and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.' Then they will kill me, but they will let you live. 13 Say you are my sister, that it may go well with me because of you, and that my life may be spared for your sake.” 14 When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful. 15 And when the princes of Pharaoh saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. 16 And for her sake he dealt well with Abram; and he had sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels. 17 But the LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife. 18 So Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? 19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,' so that I took her for my wife? Now then, here is your wife; take her, and go.” 20 And Pharaoh gave men orders concerning him, and they sent him away with his wife and all that he had. Abram and Lot Separate 13 So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the Negeb. (ESV) New Testament: Hebrews 7:18–28 Hebrews 7:18–28 (Listen) 18 For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness 19 (for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God. 20 And it was not without an oath. For those who formerly became priests were made such without an oath, 21 but this one was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him:   “The Lord has sworn    and will not change his mind,  ‘You are a priest forever.'” 22 This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. 23 The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, 24 but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. 25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost1 those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. 26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27 He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself. 28 For the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever. Footnotes [1] 7:25 That is, completely; or at all times (ESV) Gospel: John 4:27–42 John 4:27–42 (Listen) 27 Just then his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you seek?” or, “Why are you talking with her?” 28 So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” 30 They went out of the town and were coming to him. 31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.” 32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.” 33 So the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?” 34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. 36 Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. 37 For here the saying holds true, ‘One sows and another reaps.' 38 I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.” 39 Many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, “He told me all that I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed because of his word. 42 They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world.” (ESV)

Bible Reading: Psalm 86:3-6; 103:1-4Upset, Adrian buried his face deep into his pillow. He didn't hear anyone come into his room, but a gentle touch caused him to look up and see his mother. "What's the matter, honey?" she asked as she sat down beside him. "Is there some problem I can help with?"Adrian hesitated. He didn't really want to tell his mom what was bothering him. "II lied to Eli, and now he won't talk to me," he finally blurted out. "He knows I lied.""Why did you do that?" asked Mom gently."I don't know." Adrian sniffed. "I told him I was sorry, but I don't think he believes me. I don't blame him.""Are you really sorry?" asked Mom. Adrian nodded. "Then give your friend time to forgive you, and hopefully he'll learn to trust you again too," Mom said."I don't think he'll ever believe me again," said Adrian sadly.Mom thought for a minute. "Adrian, do you remember the rides Dad used to give you and your sister when you were little? The ones you called horsey rides?" Adrian nodded, wondering why Mom brought that up. "You thought it was so much fun until you slipped off one day and hit your head on a chair," said Mom. "After that it took you a while to trust him enough to try it again.""But I finally did!" Adrian said. He thought he knew what his mother was getting at."Yes, and I'm sure Eli will trust you again too," said Mom. She patted Adrian's back. "When you lie to someone, it may take time for that person to really believe you again, but let me tell you something wonderful." Mom smiled. "When you confess your sin to God, He forgives you right away. He never holds our wrongs against us because Jesus already took the punishment for our sin when He died on the cross. There may still be consequences for what you've done--like a friend who won't speak to you for a while--but believe God when He says He forgives you. However, Eli needs time to get over what happened. In the meantime, be a good friend and help him learn to trust you. Can you do that?"Adrian nodded. "I'll be a great friend!" -Veronica R. GuerrieroHow About You?Have you ever felt you might never be forgiven for something you did? Sometimes it can take time for people to forgive--and even if they forgive you, it can take even longer for them to trust you again. But if you confess your sin to God, He will forgive you right away. That doesn't mean you won't suffer any consequences for what you did. But God will forgive you. Trust Him to help you make things right with others too.Today's Key Verse:For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive. (NKJV) (Psalm 86:5)Today's Key Thought:God is ready to forgive

We continue in our study through the gospels - The Matthew 18 Process, Forgive How Many Times?, Forgive To Be Forgiven Reading: Matthew 18:15-35 Scripture: Leviticus 19:17, 1 Corinthians 6:7, Deuteronomy 19:15, Psalm 82:1, Genesis 4:24, Matthew 6:15 Oki Dokinotes: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17yk6XK_UbdPpQDDwHPuW9grZDhGpUQkU/view?usp=sharing

1 Corinthians 9:24   Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! (NLT) Judges 6:1-5 The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and for seven years he gave them into the hands of the Midianites.  2  Because the power of Midian was so oppressive, the Israelites prepared shelters for themselves in mountain clefts, caves and strongholds.  3  Whenever the Israelites planted their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites and other eastern peoples invaded the country.  4  They camped on the land and ruined the crops all the way to Gaza and did not spare a living thing for Israel, neither sheep nor cattle nor donkeys.  5  They came up with their livestock and their tents like swarms of locusts. It was impossible to count them or their camels; they invaded the land to ravage it. (NIV) Judges 6:12-13   When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” 13  “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our ancestors told us about when they said, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian.” (NIV) Judges 6:14-15 The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?” 15  “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.” (NIV) 4 Ways To Winning in 2022 1. Winning in 2022 requires crying out to God Judges 6:6-7   Midian so impoverished the Israelites that they cried out to the LORD for help. When the Israelites cried out to the Lord because of Midian, (NIV) 2. Winning in 2022 requires a commitment to God’s Word Judges 6:10 I said to you, ‘I am the Lord your God; do not worship the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you live.’ But you have not listened to me.” (NIV) Judges 6:1 The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and for seven years he gave them into the hands of the Midianites. (NIV) James 1:22–25   Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23  Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24  and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25  But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do. (NIV) 3. Winning in 2022 requires believing what God says about you Judges 6:12 When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” (NIV) Judges 6:15 “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.” (NIV) The following list is not for YouVersion. It is for lower thirds only, split into several slides. I am a mighty warrior. I am more than a conqueror. I am new creation. I am Child of God. I can do all things through Christ. I am a friend of God. I am Justified. I am Redeemed. I am sealed with the Holy Spirit. I am the temple of the Holy Spirit. I am Chosen. I am Forgiven. I am Made alive in Christ. I am God’s workmanship. I am a citizen of heaven. I am a person of purpose. I am anointed. I am powerful. I am the salt of the earth. I am a world changer. I am successful. I am a WINNER! 4. Winning in 2022 requires you to go Judges 6:14 The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?” (NIV) 1 Corinthians 9:24   Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! (NLT)

Daily Word - You may need to open up your heart to really hear today's message because Satan has done a great job of convincing believers that they are sinners. When you accepted Jesus as Lord of your life, you stopped being a sinner and became righteous. This means that all your past, present, and future sins are forgiven. You don't need to constantly ask for forgiveness, see yourself as unworthy, or wonder if you are going to heaven. Links - Atlanta, Online Community, Partner

The post Forgive As You Are Forgiven appeared first on Calvary Community Church.

Luke 7:36-50 This is a story about how to fall more in love with Jesus. We hear how a woman who realizes how serious her sin is suddenly now aware of just how sweet Jesus' forgiveness is. This realization turns her heart to love Jesus even more and from this love, she weeps, wetting his feet w/ her tears and using expensive perfume on them. Contrast this with the Pharisee who is there and how much love he shows Jesus. Knowing what is going on in the heart of the Pharisee, Jesus tells him a story to help him understand that he who has been forgiven little loves little. We do emphasis that Jesus is NOT saying to go and do worse things to be forgiven for more severe things. Subscribe for just $2.99 a month to get ALL episodes AD FREE!

LIVE on KPFT 90.1 FM: Democrats seem to be receptive to a 2022 loss. Karl Smith says hold up. Let's forgive student loans. About humanity. Karl Smith discusses what Democrats must do to win 2022 with aggressive messaging: Karl Smith is concerned that Democrats are ceding the 2022 election to Republicans because they are not selling their message. Recently, Karl Smith wrote an article at his site titled “2022 State of Emergency! Democrats must Sell the Brand, or We All Lose!” where he lays out the case Democrats better heed.. Here is the message to my listener who said: “I have all but given up on humanity.”: I make the case that we cannot give up on humanity as it plays into the game of oligarchs, plutocrats, and corporate executives. I got an email from a supporter that almost broke my heart. I immediately came to my senses. Journalist: The handling of Omicron illustrates the direct failure of for-profit healthcare: It was a rare occurrence on mainstream media. They decided to tell the truth about for-profit healthcare. Market-driven healthcare is fatal. It is hard to believe that even though the math is simple, the fraud inflicted on Americans about the efficiency of market-driven for-profit healthcare continues. Katy Tur asked NBC News Correspondent Jacob Ward about America's failure to ramp up COVID-19 testing specifically compared to other countries. A NECESSARY RANT: Here is why student loan forgiveness must be payback from parasitic corporations: President Joe Biden has extended the student loan payment moratorium for 90 days. Don't balk at students but the system. A message to President Biden, we need student loan forgiveness, not deferral. It is important to note that in the aggregate, loan forgiveness is not a giveaway but a sound economic decision.

By Jay Ledbetter in Knoxville, TN - December 25, 2021 - In covering Luke 7:36-50, we examine that our Savior Jesus Christ and God our Father are both loving and forgving of our sins just as he did to the woman in this account.

Morning: Psalm 32:1–2; Psalm 103:12; Isaiah 43:25; Jeremiah 31:34; Micah 7:18; Mark 2:5; Mark 2:7; Romans 6:14; Romans 6:18; Ephesians 4:32; 1 John 1:7–9 “Your sins are forgiven.” “For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”—“Who can forgive sins but God alone?” “I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.”—Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.—Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity? God in Christ forgave you.—The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.—For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace…. And, [you] having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. Psalm 32:1–2 (Listen) Blessed Are the Forgiven A Maskil1 of David. 32   Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,    whose sin is covered.2   Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity,    and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

(ESV) Ephesians 4:32 (Listen) 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. (ESV) 1 John 1:7–9 (Listen) 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (ESV) Evening: Psalm 145:18; Isaiah 26:8; Matthew 18:20; Matthew 28:20; John 12:21; John 14:18; 1 Corinthians 13:12; Philippians 1:23; Hebrews 12:1–2; 1 John 3:2–3 “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” O Lord, we wait for you; your name and remembrance are the desire of our soul. The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”—“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”—“And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face.—My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. Psalm 145:18 (Listen) 18   The LORD is near to all who call on him,    to all who call on him in truth. (ESV) Isaiah 26:8 (Listen) 8   In the path of your judgments,    O LORD, we wait for you;  your name and remembrance    are the desire of our soul. (ESV) Matthew 18:20 (Listen) 20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” (ESV) Matthew 28:20 (Listen) 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (ESV) John 12:21 (Listen) 21 So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” (ESV) John 14:18 (Listen) 18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. (ESV) 1 Corinthians 13:12 (Listen) 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. (ESV) Philippians 1:23 (Listen) 23 I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. (ESV) Hebrews 12:1–2 (Listen) Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith 12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. (ESV) 1 John 3:2–3 (Listen) 2 Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears1 we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 3 And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. Footnotes [1] 3:2 Or when it appears (ESV)

"As a child of God, you are forgiven. This truth is really the foundation of the Christian life. Coming to this knowledge is the key to accepting the eternal life God has provided for us. Jesus Christ provided this forgiveness at the cross.

As We Gather - Questions, questions, and more questions! The psalmist wonders outloud, “Will you be angry with us forever” (v. 5)? John the Baptist sends messengers to Jesus, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another” (Lk 7:20)? Uncertainty often threatens to rob us of any peace in this life. Jesus reassures John. And in Jesus, the words of our psalm are fulfilled: “Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other. Our sins are forgiven through faith in Jesus and peace with God is continuously restored.

De son vivant, Desmond Tutu a reçu de nombreux honneurs, dont le prix Nobel de la paix en 1984 pour sa contribution à la fin de l'apartheid en Afrique du Sud. Son combat et son charisme ont aussi inspiré de nombreux artistes. Le plus connu de tous, c'est Miles Davis. En 1986, le trompettiste américain sort le titre éponyme « Tutu », extrait de l'album du même nom, composé par Marcus Miller. Autre style musical deux ans plus tard, en 1988 dans « Gimme Me Hope Jo'anna », le chanteur de reggae Eddy Grant évoque cet archevêque – homme de paix – qui annonce que le combat sera remporté. Desmond Tutu et son épouse inspirent aussi dans les années 2000 un groupe d'étudiants en architecture de Pretoria, qui conçoivent un pont pédestre entre deux établissements scolaires baptisé le Desmond and Leah Tutu Bridge. Au Cap, dans le centre-ville, une arche en bois – clin d'œil au surnom « The Arch » de l'archevêque – commémore son œuvre et sa vie. Un nom repris dans les arts et la science En 2017, le réalisateur britannique Roland Jaffé tente un biopic, avec Forrest Whitaker dans le rôle de Desmond Tutu, dans « The Forgiven ». De son vivant, l'archevêque sud-africain aura aussi inspiré des parents au moment de prénommer leur enfant. Ainsi, un certain Desmond Tutu, âgé de 24 ans, joue actuellement dans une équipe de football des Îles Salomon, en plein océan Pacifique. Et en 2018, lorsque deux scientifiques découvrent une espèce fossile de tétrapode datant du Dévonien, ils la baptisent Tutusius umlambo en l'honneur de Desmond Tutu car, disent-ils, il y a quatre cents millions d'années, cet animal a montré le chemin hors des marais toxiques vers la lumière.

Heart Touch Music Craig Perkins pt 3 Have you ever felt alone? Abandoned? Like, everything you do is wrong?  If so, I have good news for you today.  You're NOT alone. You're NOT abandoned.  God is always with you, even if you do not recognize His presence. Some suffer abuse at the hands of their parents. Some are just abandoned and, more less, forgotten about. That could describe our guest today, Craig Perkins. Craig's parents were alcoholics and fought violently. His Father abandoned the family and, later, his mother did the same. Ultimately, the courts stepped in and the children to an orphanage on the other side of the country. Living in an institution with 320 other unwanted kids is all Craig knew while growing up. When he finally was able to leave the orphanage, it was only natural he began to follow a rebellious path in life. He enrolled in college as a music major, but knew nothing about music. But soon, the college party scene started calling, and this rebellious man answered the call… But for the efforts of Christians on campus who reached out and witnessed about Christ to anyone who would listen, including Craig, who knows where his path in life would have led. But instead of a life of death and destruction, Craig has been serving the Lord! Craig Perkins is the founder of “Heart Touch Music,” had a traveling concert ministry; has hosted and served in retreats, seminars, recovery programs and healing centers. The songs he has written are his own original works (and we will share some music in today's program). But, he has also reached out and found his parents and witnessed the Love of Christ to them! Praise God! This is the conclusion of a GREAT three part interview with Craig Perkins! You were married in 1983 and then, basically, went on tour with your music. How long did you do that? You write music as a tool to touch troubled hearts. You also provide instrumental music for counselors and therapists to use in their practices. Tell us about this… How can music help us, the average person listening right now? You have shared that we are called to win the world for Christ. But yet , we often ignore those who are right next to us. Our family, friends, co-workers, etc. You also composed a song for this calling of reaching those around us with the Gospel. It's titled “Forgiven.” Let's listen to a clip then come back to the interview. You also write music for praise and worship and immersion – how does someone use this type of music, say in their devotional or prayer time? Craig, this is all so fascinating. And your music is so awesome. I've listened to several tracks just getting ready for today's interview. How can someone order your music? In fact, how can someone get in touch with you, maybe to ask a question, order your music or possible even to do an interview such as this? How can they get in touch with you? And your music is available on your website, but there are various “rooms” set up, depending on the type of music the person is seeking? I'll put links to all of this down below in the show notes. Folks, music is so important to our Spiritual wellbeing. Why do you think the devil goes after the minds of people through the music they listen to? I want to encourage you to get back to the basics of your Faith – and allow Craig's music to help you in your quiet time. To minister to you when you're down. To minister to you as you pray and meditate. To minister to you – just about all day long, if you'll let it. Go down into the show notes and click the link to Craig Perkins website and discover a secret weapon God has provided us to claim victory in this life – here on earth – MUSIC. Amen!

We learn about the essence of Christmas in this episode. That we were given a redeemer who covered all our sin, the wrath charged to our account being taken away because it was paid and forgiven of our sins made new in Christ. The Psalmist asks that God revive and grant salvation, are we also asking for those things in our lives? See you in Episode 351 on December 27, 2021. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas remembering the best gift and reason for the season.

When it comes to Jesus, for centuries women and men all across the world have wrestled through the question ‘who is this man?' Having carefully investigated the life of Jesus, Luke has put together a detailed testimony of Jesus' birth, life, death, and resurrection. It's debatable that there has been more written about Jesus over the past 25 years than the previous 20 centuries, and still, the gospel accounts are the most credible and helpful as it pertains to this crucial question.

Forgiven, we are indestructible. Satan's plan was to condemn God's followers in God's own courtroom. But now, in Christ, there is no condemnation.

“If God's love. If God's grace. If God's forgiveness has to be earned … then we have power over God. By our action or inaction, we can tell God who to love. We can tell God who to forgive.  But that's not who God is. God simply loves everyone … there are no books that have to balanced, there is no system that can be gamed. We don't have to earn forgiveness… You. Are. Forgiven.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, December 5, 2021 at All Saints Church, Pasadena. Readings: Canticle 4 and Luke 3:1-6. Watch the sermon on YouTube. Read the text of the sermon here. Follow All Saints Church on Twitter @ASCpas.

Here's a cool thing: some listeners asked me to share my essay on forgiveness in a stand alone piece so they could send it to friends and family who had been forgiving with them over the years like an audio thank you card. So, by request, I'm sharing the uncut (and actually expanded) version of the piece I wrote first for the podcast and then for The New York Times with thanks to Rabbi Michael Lezak, Richard Enright PhD and Anne Lamott.
