With a blend of historical context and contemporary application, this sermon invites the audience to reflect deeply on their commitment to faith and the transformative power of surrendering all to God.

I am disgraced yet again. Season seven continues with us listening to a death rattle, making sure the Ocarina is in Alex's pocket, assigning jealousy as a motive, dumbing ourselves down for women, desecrating her sanctum, fighting for the ones we love, getting a little action, wishing for stronger hints, realizing girlfriend might be a bomb, confirming girlfriend must stay god, winning with the power of idealism, telling a lady that we're destined to be together, mutating after turning evil, censoring nudity, and receiving permission for Wheaties. Just go home and resign yourself to mankind's fate (another episode). 00:00:00 Please God Let It End 00:01:21 Intro 00:02:37 Magic Emperor: Defeated? 00:07:10 Pre-Stairs Friend Pep Talks 00:16:22 Alex & The Staircase 00:23:47 Staircase Friends 00:31:06 Ascension 00:35:08 Confrontation Anime 00:42:31 The Gang Regroup 00:45:18 CG ANIME CUT SCENE 00:47:56 Sega CD Ending 00:59:14 Real Net 01:04:56 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

Fear is everywhere—war, disaster, division, disease, loss. But the greatest fear is living without God, because without Him, every other fear is final. Psalm 46 proclaims, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Martin Luther knew fear well. He once trembled before God's judgment, trying to earn His favor. But when he discovered the Gospel in Romans 3—“all have sinned and are justified by His grace as a gift”—his fear turned to faith. The God who could condemn instead gives Himself to save. That's the heart of the Reformation: God doesn't just give blessings; He gives Himself—Christ crucified and risen for you. Through Word and Sacrament, this same Christ gives Himself still. In Baptism He claims you. In Absolution He forgives you. In the Supper He feeds you with His own Body and Blood. In the Divine Service, God serves His people, driving out fear and filling hearts with peace. The angel's cry in Revelation 14—“Fear God and give Him glory”—is not a threat but comfort. It announces the fall of Satan and the victory of the Lamb. True worship is not what we do for God, but what we receive from Him in faith. Luther's hymn A Mighty Fortress Is Our God confesses the same truth: the devil rages, the world trembles, but Christ's Word stands firm. Because Jesus has conquered death, we are free—free to live without fear. So when the world shakes, when judgment seems near, you can say with confidence: “The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” No fear. Just faith. Just Jesus. ----- Worship Times Sunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m. Monday – 6:30 p.m. https://trinitysheboygan.org https://facebook.com/trinitysheboygan We are a congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

Psalm 46English Standard VersionTo the choirmaster. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A Song.God is our refuge and strength,    a very present help in trouble.Therefore we will not fear though the earth give way,    though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,though its waters roar and foam,    though the mountains tremble at its swelling. SelahThere is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,    the holy habitation of the Most High.God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;    God will help her when morning dawns.The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;    he utters his voice, the earth melts.The Lord of hosts is with us;    the God of Jacob is our fortress. SelahCome, behold the works of the Lord,    how he has brought desolations on the earth.He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;    he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;    he burns the chariots with fire.“Be still, and know that I am God.    I will be exalted among the nations,    I will be exalted in the earth!”The Lord of hosts is with us;    the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

“A Mighty Fortress” is a 16th Century hymn written by Martin Luther. This arrangement is by Michael Ekbladh presented as an offering of music at First UMC - Gainesville, FL on 26 October 2025 by the Chancel Choir and accompanied by Lynn Sandefur-Gardner on piano.

Over the last several decades, sources of income derived away from farms have come to play a much bigger role in rural Indonesian households. How do rural people in Indonesia engage with farming and social and economic spheres beyond their villages? What do their changing forms of engagement mean for land relations, sustainability, and the future of agrarian communities? Jeff Neilson's Fortress Farming: Agrarian Transitions, Livelihoods, and Coffee Value Chains in Indonesia (Cornell UP, 2025) offers an explanation that centers on a defensive livelihood strategy observed among, in particular, coffee producing smallholders. This livelihood strategy, understood as “fortress farming”, is undertaken by smallholder households that are reluctant to maximize production despite their engagement with major coffee roasting companies. Instead, they maintain their small farms to defend themselves from insecurity while pursuing sources of wealth off farm. The book considers the implications of fortress farming for broader structural reforms and illuminates how social institutions shape forms of capitalist agriculture. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we will be celebrating Reformation in our weekend worship. Reformation highlights those who have fought against error which the devil seeks to sow in the church and its teaching, and the need for Christians to continue that fight still today.  The hymn that we are studying this week is Luther's famous "A Mighty Fortress" which has as many as 80 different English translations, and has encouraged Christians for over 500 years. The hymn was written in the late 1520's during a very dark time in Germany. War, plague, sickness, and religious oppression surrounded the LORD's church there. In this turmoil, Luther turned to the LORD and the promises found in His word. He took comfort in the words of the Psalmist: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble… The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress” (Psalm 46:1,6-7). Luther reminds God's people then and now of the LORD's power which is greater than that of every enemy we might face. The old evil foe? Devils eager to devour us? “We tremble not, we fear no ill.” “He can harm us none. He's judged; the deed is done.” Jesus -- the One whom God Himself elected, the Sabaoth Lord, the Valiant One -- is on our side, and fights for us! “The Kingdom ours remaineth.” Thanks be to God that we can have confidence in His work for us In Jesus, that our sins are forgiven, and that He is greater than every enemy we will face, including the devil himself!  This weekend as we thank God for His promise that His Church and His Word will not fail, and as we rejoice in those who fought for that truth in the past and as He gives us strength to fight that fight still today. Join us in our worship as we unite our voices to sing our confidence in God based on Psalm 46!

Welcome to the next episode of The Blueprint Podcast, I'm very excited to share this with you.   This is the NO 1. Blueprint that we teach, it's the highest value Blueprint on the podcast, over 300 episodes, it's the only game in town, and this is the one you need to know!   Whilst we all love business, we love doing deals, and we love being out there being busy, the reality is this will not last forever, and the aim of the game is to work once and earn forever.   We want to go out there, make some money, withdraw the profits, buy the assets, and then live off the steam. This is the Financial Fortress Blueprint. Work once, earn forever.   I hope you put this into practice and I hope you execute this in the weeks and months ahead.    Success and failure are both very predictable.   I hope you enjoy. Want to learn more?  

Do we care about the fate of the world? Hell no. We're only concerned with exploring the wasteland of the mind, imbibing the sweet nectar of the woman kind, conquering our greatest fears (again), escaping the maze of our wretched inner-selves, living in the body of a goddess, running out of unlimited time, correcting god, beholding the power of salvation, suffering a promo endurance round, perceiving decadence, rebuffing everyone after a one-hit death, getting stuck in the healing loop, and probably defeating the last boss. All you've ever done is dream of your great adventures. 00:00:00 We Finished Vagrant Story 00:01:23 Intro 00:04:20 Ships of Regret and Sleep 00:19:10 Xenobia 00:26:41 Final Battleground 00:38:49 Hero Lines 00:46:30 Last Boss Fight 00:56:18 Real Net 01:05:12 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com  

There’s a surprising amount of films called Fortress, but we’re watching the most obscure one, the Australian family thriller (if that’s a genre) that constantly switches between jovial, Steven Spielberg-esque kids adventure in the outback and violent horror thriller with kidnapping, murder and rape threats.

it was also the fear of leaving her home, her friends, and most importantly, Милан.Sr: Милан, неспутан и спонтан, весело је предводио пут кроз масу.En: Милан, unrestrained and spontaneous, cheerfully led the way through the crowd.Sr: "Погледај ово, Вања!En: "Look at this, Вања!"Sr: " узвикнуо је показујући на уметничке радове локалних уметника.En: he exclaimed, pointing to the artworks of local artists.Sr: Вања се усредсредила на његов глас, али мисли су јој стално одлутале.En: Вања focused on his voice, but her thoughts constantly drifted away.Sr: Питала се да ли Милан осећа њену борбу.En: She wondered if Милан felt her struggle.Sr: Док су се кретали, гомила је постајала гушћа.En: As they moved, the crowd became denser.Sr: Звуци музике и смеха помешани су са мирисом свеже печених кестена.En: The sounds of music and laughter mixed with the scent of freshly roasted chestnuts.Sr: Управо овај метеж подсетио ју је на хаос у њеном унутрашњем свету.En: This very chaos reminded her of the turmoil in her internal world.Sr: Одједном, као да је сама питања истерала из глава, изгубила је Милана из вида.En: Suddenly, as if driven out by the very questions in her head, she lost sight of Милан.Sr: Стајала је усред гомиле, сама.En: She stood in the middle of the crowd, alone.Sr: Срце јој је почело брже куцати.En: Her heart began to beat faster.Sr: Гомила је постајала још већа метафора њених недоумица.En: The crowd became an even greater metaphor for her uncertainties.Sr: Схватила је да не може све држати сама.En: She realized she couldn't hold everything herself.Sr: Требало јој је да то подели, посебно са неким ко јој је био тако близак као Милан.En: She needed to share it, especially with someone who was as close to her as Милан.Sr: После оног што је изгледало као вечност, угледала је Милана како јој иде у сусрет.En: After what seemed like an eternity, she saw Милан approaching her.Sr: "Ево те!En: "There you are!"Sr: " рече весело, не знајући за њену тренутну олују.En: he said cheerfully, unaware of her inner storm.Sr: Вања је знала да је дошло време да буде искрена.En: Вања knew it was time to be honest.Sr: Сва збуњена осећања морала су напоље.En: All the confused emotions had to come out.Sr: "Милане, морам ти нешто рећи," почела је, глас јој је био тих, али одлучан.En: "Милане, I need to tell you something," she began, her voice quiet but determined.Sr: "Добила сам понуду за посао у иностранству… и не знам шта да радим.En: "I've received a job offer abroad... and I don't know what to do."Sr: "Милан ју је погледао и ставио руку на њено раме.En: Милан looked at her and placed a hand on her shoulder.Sr: "Ванјо, шта год да одлучиш, бићу ту за тебе," рекао је искрено.En: "Ванјо, whatever you decide, I'll be there for you," he said sincerely.Sr: "Никад ниси сама.En: "You're never alone."Sr: "Вања је осетила како јој снага и спокој прелазе с Милановог додира.En: Вања felt strength and tranquility transfer from Милан's touch.Sr: Осетила је како камен с њеног срца почиње да се топи.En: She felt the weight on her heart begin to melt away.Sr: Фестивал је сада изгледао као место нових могућности, а не хаоса.En: The festival now seemed like a place of new possibilities, not chaos.Sr: Чврсто је одлучила.En: She firmly decided.Sr: Није морала доносити одлуке сама.En: She didn't have to make decisions alone.Sr: На једном обасјаном месту тврђаве, нашла је снагу и јасноћу.En: In one illuminated spot of the fortress, she found strength and clarity.Sr: Са миланским насмејаним лицем поред ње, осетила је да је пронашла не само одговор, већ и нови осећај наде.En: With Милан's smiling face beside her, she felt she had found not only an answer but also a new sense of hope.
