WEEK 3: HIS WISDOM IS PERFECTJoseph: In God's HandsBeholding the Perfect Sovereignty of GodIn today's message, we're reminded that God's wisdom is not only perfect—it's generously available to those who ask. As we walk through Genesis 40, we find Joseph once again in a place of trial, falsely accused and confined in prison. But even here, God is orchestrating events with sovereign precision. Through Joseph's encounter with Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker, we see how God's wisdom breaks through confusion, provides clarity, and sets the stage for redemption.Key Takeaways:God's wisdom is perfect, even in seasons of suffering.Joseph demonstrates mature faith by depending on God rather than trying to figure things out on his own.True spiritual growth means becoming more dependent on the Lord, not more independent.Like Joseph, we can cry out for wisdom in our pain and uncertainty—because God promises to give it generously (James 1:5).God is the Author of your story. There is an answer key—and He holds it.Whether you're facing confusion, waiting on a breakthrough, or walking through deep pain, today's message reminds us to stop striving for answers on our own and instead depend fully on the God who never leaves us without direction.Related Scriptures for Study:Genesis 40:1–13James 1:5Proverbs 3:5–6Isaiah 55:8–9If you're weary, uncertain, or desperate for clarity, don't walk alone. Ask God. Seek His face. His wisdom is for you today.

Na'hum. (consolation). Nahum, called "the Elkoshite," is the seventh, in order, of the Minor Prophets. His personal history is quite unknown. The site of Elkosh, his native place, is disputed, some placing it in Galilee, others in AssyriaThe name refers back to Yahweh's compassion connected with Jonah's mission eighty-seven years before. What is the purpose of this book? The book of Nahum is devoted exclusively to the announcement of the destruction of the city of Nineveh; the prophecy gave hope to the people of Judah who had long been terrorized by Assyria's constant and ominous threatBefore I get into this study, I discuss the negative side of the word ‘whirlwind', which we find in verse 3 is the positive side of Yahweh's WordJuly 20th 1776 we read of a letter written from John Page to Thomas Jefferson. At the end of this letter John Page writes; “P.S. I am highly pleased with your Declaration. God preserve the united States. We know the Race is not to the swift nor the Battle to the strong. Do you not think an Angel rides in the Whirlwind and directs this Storm?” Knowing what I know about Jefferson, John Page could not have been talking about Yahweh! But his pagan godIn his book, American Dynasty, Kevin Phillips confirms this practice of message-coding by Bush, pointing out the ever-present references in the president's speeches to words such as “evil” and “evil ones.” At the top of Phillips' list is reference again to the use of the metaphysical phrase “whirlwind,” which he interprets as “a medium for the voice of God.” From an esoteric point of view, Phillips was either unaware of or unwilling to discuss the deeper, contemporary meaning of this language and its importance to secret societiesInvitation to angels by elected officials combined with passive civilian conformity is key to opening doorways for supernatural agents to engage social governance. This is a classic tenet of demonology. Spirits go where they are invited, whether to possess an individual or to take dominion over a region. One could contend therefore that starting in 2001, the United States became so disposed in following and not challenging unprecedented changes to longstanding U.S. policies including the Christian rules for just war, that a powerful force known to the Illuminati as the “Moriah Conquering Wind,” a.k.a. “the Angel in the Whirlwind” accepted the administration's invitation and enthroned itself in the nation's capitalIn 1992, former M16 British Intelligence Officer, Dr. John Coleman wrote a book about “The Committee of 300” in which he claimed inside knowledge concerning world manipulation by an occult Illuminati elite. According to Coleman, “Moriah Conquering Wind” is one of the modern names the society members go by. He stated:Included in the membership are the old families of the European Black Nobility, the American Eastern Liberal Establishment (in Freemason hierarchy and the Order of Skull and Bone), the Illuminati, or, as it is known by the Committee, “MORIAH CONQUERING WIND”…. In the Committee of 300, which has a 150-year history, we have some of the most brilliant intellects assembled to form a completely totalitarian, absolutely controlled “new” society - only it isn't new, having drawn most of its ideas from the Clubs of Cultus Diabolicus. It strives toward a One World Government rather well described by one of its late members, H. G. Wells, in his work commissioned by the Committee which Wells boldly called: “THE OPEN CONSPIRACY-- PLANS FOR A WORLD REVOLUTION.” The same spiritual battle that took place in the times of Nahum is taken place right now in America. In upcoming programs, I will be looking at the Capital Building and see what it really stands forHave any questions? Feel free to email me; keitner2024@outlook.com

Join Pastor Balla for today's Daily Devotion from Job 34:10-13 (ESV) as we reflect on the unchanging justice of Godin a world full of shifting values. Elihu boldly proclaims that God will not do wickedly—a reminder that our Lord's justice is rooted in His holy and unchangeable character.

In Him, justice and mercy meet. Even when we do not understand His ways, we can trust that God is working for our good and His glory. Today's devotion offers hope to the suffering, clarity to the confused, and rest to those weary of the world's instability.

Welcome to today's Pastor's Chat! In Luke 12, Jesus warns us to beware ofhypocrisy, covetousness, worry, and fear—traps that keep us from pleasing Godin every part of life. These lead to anxiety, but Jesus says, “Do not worry, donot be anxious, do not fear.” His remedy? Believe He's coming soon. He tells astory of a master returning from a wedding, urging us in verse 40, “Be ready,for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” We often get socaught up in temporary things that doesn't last, that we forget this truth. Lest we get the idea that watching and waiting are all thatHe requires, Jesus added this parable to encourage us to be working when Hecomes. The Apostles had a special responsibility to feed God's household, Hischurch; but each of us has some work to do in this world, assigned to us by theLord. Our responsibility is to be faithful when He comes. We may not appearsuccessful in our own eyes, or in the eyes of others; but that is notimportant. The thing God wants is faithfulness (1 Corinthians 4:2). Once a believer starts to think his Master is not comingback, his life begins to deteriorate. Our relationship with others depends onour relationship to the Lord; so if we stop looking for Him, we will stoploving His people. The motive for Christian life and service must be a desireto please the Lord and be found faithful at His return. In this passage Peter asks, “Lord, is this parable just forus or for everyone?” Jesus responds with another story: a faithful stewardtends the household well and is blessed when the master returns, gainingauthority over all he has. But if a servant thinks, “My master's delayed,” andstarts mistreating others, indulging in reckless living—eating, drinking,getting drunk—the master will come unexpectedly, judge him, and cast him withunbelievers. Those who know the master's will and don't prepare face manystripes; those who don't know but still err, fewer. “To whom much is given,much is required.” We've been given heaven's resources, how are we using them? I do not think that Luke 12:46 teaches that unfaithfulbelievers lose their salvation, because our going to heaven depends on faith inJesus Christ and not good works (Eph. 2:8-10; 2 Tim. 2:11-13). The phrase"cut him in sunder" means "cut him off, separate him"; and"unbelievers" can also be translated "unfaithful." Our Lordwill separate the faithful believers from the unfaithful; He will reward thefaithful, but the unfaithful servants will lose their rewards (1 Cor. 3:13-15). This ties to 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul describesChrist's return: the trumpet sounds, the dead rise, and we're changed in atwinkling of an eye, receiving immortal bodies like Jesus. He says, “Therefore,be unmovable, always abounding in the Lord's work, knowing it's not in vain.”Jesus could come any moment, friends. We must watch, wait, and work. TheBible's final prayer is, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” If He came today, wouldyou be ready? Would He find you working in His fields, living for His glory? Prayer:Lord Jesus, free us from hypocrisy and worry. Help us steward Your giftsfaithfully, staying unshakable in Your work. May we be ready when You return.Come quickly, Lord. Amen. Challenge:Reflect today: Are you living carelessly or carefully for Christ? Study theseverses, pray, and let's be found working for our Master. God bless you—have awonderful day! God bless!

In a series of posts from February 8th to 11th, open source developer Matthieu Bucchianeri started making allegations that Meta's OVRPlugin is blocking non-Meta OpenXR runtimes, thereby undermining the open and interoperable spirit of OpenXR. He claims that "the OVRPlugin takes intentional precautions to exclude non-Meta platforms. This means that XR content developed with OVRPlugin will only work with Quest Link, and it will not work with any other runtime." Bucchianeri's allegation is that if a PCVR game includes Meta's OVRPlugin as their OpenXR middleware and doesn't implement the counter-blocking measures that he details, then PCVR users will only be able to use a Quest headset with Quest Link while other non-Meta headsets like "Pimax, Pico, Varjo, Vive" will be blocked, even if they have conformant OpenXR runtimes. Bucchianeri has validated these blocking counter-measures, and he says, "as proven with many applications using OVRPlugin with counter-measures enabled, these applications can run on a conformant OpenXR implementation." Not very many XR developers are willing to speak about these issues on the record, but I did manage to record a Voices of VR podcast interview with Virtual Desktop's Guy Godin who was able to independently corroborate many of the core allegations from Bucchianeri. Godin collaborated with Bucchianeri on the Virtual Desktop OpenXR (VDXR) runtime, but has also been receiving many complaints from PCVR users around Meta's OpenXR non-compliance issues, especially with games that launch both on Quest and PCVR and use Meta's OVRPlugin. Godin told me that games will work fine natively on the Quest, but any non-Quest headsets or if they aren't using Quest Link will be blocked on the PCVR version, unless the developer specifically implements anti-blocking counter-measures detailed by Bucchianeri in his technical write-up. It appears as though OpenXR conformance from the Khronos Group only pertains to the actual OpenXR runtimes on the hardware, but headset manufacturers are able to create their own SDK plug-in middleware that interfaces with OpenXR that doesn't have the same conformance requirements. It appears as though Meta is able to technically maintain their OpenXR runtime conformant status because it does not apply to their OVRPlugin middleware SDK solution, and Bucchianeri is claiming that Meta is undermining the normative standards of interoperability by not following the best practices from the Khronos Group. He says, "For the past several years, Khronos has come up with best practices and solutions to develop OpenXR applications and maximize cross-vendor and cross-platform interoperability. Khronos has asked XR developers all over the world to follow these best practices, however - Meta - the largest vendor in Khronos is refusing to follow these best practices." Bucchianeri is also claiming to have had private communications with Meta confirming that these were deliberate and intentional changes. He says, "This is not an accident: this concern was reported to Meta early in 2024 via official means in the Khronos group. Meta acknowledged purposedly blocking other platforms from running OpenXR content at that time." I was able to confirm in my discussion with Guy Godwin in this Voices of VR podcast episode that he also believes that these were deliberate and intentional changes to undermine the spirit of OpenXR. Part of why Bucchianeri was blowing the whistle is because the Khronos Group had not been taking any action against Meta. He describes Meta's actions as "reverting many of the improvements to the developers and users ecosystem that Khronos has spent time, money, energy into solving for the past 7 years." He says, "Unfortunately, since 2024, Khronos has refused to take actions to stop Meta's OVRPlugin destructive initiative towards the PCVR ecosystem. By not taking any actions to resolve the issues created by Meta's OVRPlugin, Khronos is sending the message that OpenXR is no lo...

Their first meeting took place in Wiersbe's basement, where a discussion about donating his library to Cedarville quickly turned into a heartfelt conversation about ministry, preaching, and Jesus. Wiersbe's love for college students was evident in his desire to see his books equip the next generation of biblical leaders.Cedarville University is now home to Wiersbe's legendary library — a collection that could have gone to any number of institutions. However, Wiersbe was drawn to Cedarville's and White's unwavering commitment to conservative evangelical truth. He saw Cedarville as a place where students wouldn't just learn theology but would leave loving God's Word more than when they arrived.Dr. White reflects on Cedarville's role as a “greenhouse” for spiritual growth, where students are mentored, challenged in their faith, and shaped by daily chapel and an in-depth Bible minor. He also shares his personal passion for preaching and teaching students to interact deeply with the Word of God.Tune in to hear more about the kindred spirits of Warren Wiersbe, Cedarville University, and Dr. White and be inspired to pray for a new generation of students who love Jesus and are ready to change the world for His glory!https://share.transistor.fm/s/9ac2f3e1https://youtu.be/JFjgdY61BCQ

When the Pharisees with some scribes who had come from Jerusalemgathered around Jesus,they observed that some of his disciples ate their mealswith unclean, that is, unwashed, hands.(For the Pharisees and, in fact, all Jews,do not eat without carefully washing their hands,keeping the tradition of the elders.And on coming from the marketplacethey do not eat without purifying themselves.And there are many other things that they have traditionally observed,the purification of cups and jugs and kettles and beds.)So the Pharisees and scribes questioned him,"Why do your disciples not follow the tradition of the eldersbut instead eat a meal with unclean hands?"  He responded,"Well did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites,as it is written:This people honors me with their lips,but their hearts are far from me;in vain do they worship me,teaching as doctrines human precepts.You disregard God's commandment but cling to human tradition."He went on to say,"How well you have set aside the commandment of Godin order to uphold your tradition!For Moses said,Honor your father and your mother,and Whoever curses father or mother shall die.Yet you say,'If someone says to father or mother,"Any support you might have had from me is qorban"'(meaning, dedicated to God),you allow him to do nothing more for his father or mother.You nullify the word of Godin favor of your tradition that you have handed on.And you do many such things."

In this episode, we sit down with Jon Ostenson, CEO of FranBridge Consulting and author of Non-Food Franchising, to explore the untapped world of franchise opportunities beyond fast food. Jon shares expert insights on why non-food franchises are gaining traction, how to evaluate the right business model for you, financing, and the key advantages of franchising over starting from scratch. 

Things Discussed: Signing Day: Got the most talent on offense since…1998? Down the list: OL: Two of the highest-ranked OTs in the history of the program, Gach was a Priority 1 for the program, Strayhorn is a center. RB: Jasper Parker the sites just missed; poorer man's Adrian Peterson. M thinks DJ is healthy. WR: Marsh was a big pull vs heavy hitters, Year 1 player. Browder needs development but Junior Hemingway upside. Washington is tall and can move well. TE: Owens is a Bredeson, really hurts that they missed on Olesh. DL: We love the heavy-handed build-a-bears that Esposito recruits. Remember his WMU guys? Moten and Patterson are going to be those guys too. Lou is convinced Benny Patterson is the guy. Kanka is a Godin. Marshall was a Priority and a big win. Can't expect them to get the scouting coup of the century with Graham and Grant every year but they can scout and now they can win the guys they scouted. Basketball: Every guy is good with a tradeoff, and that tradeoff is turnovers, e.g. look at the defense that Roddy Gayle (and Pippen) played on Ace Bailey. Rutgers: We got a break by missing Harper, who just shredded Illinois. Oregon game: the mental errors are baked in at this point, like they're not going to score at the rim as well as you want them to. Also baked in is the fact that they switch everything and play drop coverage, so your Shelstad types who make 50%+ of other twos after attacking a Goldin or Wolf are going to score. Sugarplum vision of a top-3 seed and winning the B10 is probably gone. All but one of their remaining games (all but Rutgers at home) are Kenpom A (top-50) tier, IE Q1 opportunities.
