Romans 1:1-7 - Richard WhiteThe Book of Romans
Title: Introduction to The Prison Epistles and The Book of Ephesians Text: Ephesians Scripture Intro: [Slide 1] Turn in your bible to the book of Ephesians. In a few moments I will ask 6 readers to come to the front to read a chapter of this amazing book. At any time during this intro, if you would like to volunteer to read, you may come up to the front and have a seat. You don't have to wait until the end to do so. Today we begin a lengthy series covering the Prison Epistles. Let me get the preliminary questions out of the way before we dive in. What are the Prison Epistles? Hey, that's a great question! The Prison Epistles are a group of letters written by Paul so named because they all are written while Paul is in prison. In fact, based on who Paul sends with the letters, we assume they were all written during the same imprisonment. Which one? We'll save that for our introduction to the book of Ephesians. But for now, that is why these books are called the Prison Epistles. What books are included in the Prison Epistles? Another amazing question! The prison epistles include four letters. Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. Hey wait, didn't you already preach through Philemon? Wow! You remember that long ago? Yes! I did. While I was candidating to be the pastor here, I preached a two-part series on the book of Philemon. Since it was not recorded and since I wasn't officially the pastor yet, I thought it might be cool to preach through the book again 10 years later.

In this episode, Joel and Rui talk about how people greet each other in Portugal — cheek kisses, handshakes, that sort of thing — and the tricky business of actually leaving a party without it turning into a whole thing. They cover vocabulary like "está a ficar tarde," "tenho que ir embora," and "até à próxima," plus some expressions you'd use in social situations.

Proletarian TV | 15 August 2026 General secretary of the CPGB-ML Ranjeet Brar brings a message of Greeting from Havana, Cuba on the 100th anniversary of the birth of Fidel Castro. The people of Cuba continue to resist the genocidal blockade, in place continuously and illegally since the Cuban missile crisis of 1962! Though Trump has tightened it and is attempting to starve and strangle the Cuban people - just as they are committing genocide with Britain and Israel in Palestine and across the middle east - their socialist system and resolve to remain independent, dignified and free makes them indomitable! We must support our Cuban brothers and sisters and demand an end to the criminal blockade! In Britain, as freedom of speech and political action is curtailed, we must fight the legal battle against the IHRA, that seeks to make all criticism of Britain's genocidal and aggressive foreign policy illegal, and this allow British workers the freedom to prevent or “Labour” government driving our nation towards world war. https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/legal-challenge-against-the-ih/ to support the legal campaign.

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
Is it permissible to answer "Amen" when one's head is uncovered? This question occasionally arises in the morning, when a person removes his Kippa in order to properly position his Tefillin Shel Rosh, and he hears a Beracha recited during those moments when his Kippa is off. Another example is a person who hears a Beracha in the barbershop while taking a haircut. Is he allowed to answer "Amen"? Some thought to forbid responding "Amen" bareheaded in light of the Gemara's teaching (Berachot 53b) that one who answers "Amen" to a Beracha is deemed greater than the person who recited the Beracha. The explanation given is that "Amen" in Gematria equals 91 – the combined Gematria of the divine Name "Havaya" (spelled Yod, Heh, Vav and Heh) and Adnut (spelled Alef, Dalet, Nun and Yod). Hence, answering "Amen" – which represents the combination of these two Names – is greater than reciting a blessing, which consists of only one of these two Names (Havaya). Seemingly, if it is improper to recite a Beracha bareheaded, we might assume that it is certainly improper to answer "Amen" bareheaded. In truth, however, this is incorrect. Certainly, if one has the possibility of covering his head to answer "Amen" and does not, then he acts improperly. But if a person finds himself in a situation where he hears a Beracha while his head is bare – as in the situations described – then it is preferable for him to answer 'Amen" bareheaded than to remain silent without responding to the Beracha. This resembles the Halacha concerning proper attire for prayer. While one is of course required to dress himself in an appropriate manner before praying, if, for whatever reason, one is unable to, he should nevertheless pray, rather than refrain from praying due to his unseemly attire. The Poskim also address the question of whether one may greet his fellow with the word "Shalom" while his head is uncovered. The Gemara (Shabbat 10a) brings the opinion of Ula that one may not extend such a greeting in the bathhouse, because "Shalom" is a Name of G-d, and the Shulhan Aruch rules accordingly. We might thus assume that one should avoid extending this greeting while bareheaded, as well, such as when taking a haircut. Hacham Ovadia Yosef, however, ruled that there is room to allow a person to respond to a greeting of "Shalom" while bareheaded. The Rambam does not bring Ula's ruling that one may not extend a greeting of "Shalom" in the bathhouse, as he apparently felt that Ula's position is not accepted as Halacha. Although the Shulhan Aruch – as mentioned – indeed codifies Ula's stringent view, several other Poskim followed the lenient opinion of the Rambam. And, even according to the Shulhan Aruch's view, it does not necessarily follow that if Halacha forbids saying "Shalom" in the bathhouse, it is likewise forbidden to utter this word while bareheaded. In light of this "Sefek Sefeka" (two uncertainties), Hacham Ovadia maintained that one who is bareheaded may respond "Shalom" if his fellow greets him. Rav Moshe Feinstein (1895-1986) maintained that one should not initiate a "Shalom Alechem" greeting to a fellow Jew who does not wear a Kippa, as the person will likely respond, "Alechem Shalom" – uttering the word "Shalom" bareheaded. Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Jerusalem, 1910-1995) ruled leniently, asserting that since the individual without a Kippa has no intention to utter a Name of G-d, one is not causing him to sin by creating a situation where he would say "Shalom." Needless to say, Hacham Ovadia would allow initiating such a greeting to somebody who does not wear a Kippa, since in his view there is room to permit uttering "Shalom" bareheaded. Nevertheless, in deference to Rav Moshe Feinstein's stringent view, Hacham Ovadia writes that one who wishes to greet his fellow who does not wear a Kippa should preferably use a greeting other than "Shalom" (such as "Good morning") so that his fellow will not respond with "Shalom." It should be noted that our Sages emphasized the great importance of extending friendly greetings. The Mishna in Pirkeh Abot (4:15) urges us to greet all people cordially, and this applies even to sinners. Although the verse in Yeshayahu (48:22) warns, "En Shalom Amar Hashem La'reshaim" – "There is no peace, said G-d, to the wicked" – this is understood as a reference to the next world. In this world, we are to extend warm, friendly greetings to all, including the non-observant, and it is important for them to see religiously-committed Jews acting in a refined, courteous manner. In fact, it is told that when Rav Yaakov Kamenetsky (1891-1986) would walk in his neighborhood in Monsey, NY, he would make a point of warmly greeting everyone he encountered, Jew and non-Jew alike. After his passing, several nuns remarked that Rav Yaakov was the only one who warmly greeted them whenever he passed them – underscoring the importance of extending friendly greetings to everyone. Summary: One who happens to be bareheaded when he hears a Beracha should answer "Amen." Although it is preferable not to say the word "Shalom" while bareheaded, one may respond to a greeting with "Shalom" if he is greeted while he is not wearing a Kippa. When one initiates a greeting to his fellow who does not wear a Kippa, it is preferable to greet him in such a way that does not elicit a response with the word "Shalom" (such as "Good morning," as opposed to "Shalom Alechem"), though strictly speaking, it is permissible to elicit a response of "Shalom."
I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant of the church at Cenchreae, 2 that you may welcome her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints, and help her in whatever she may need from you, for she has been a patron of many and of myself as well.3 Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, 4 who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks but all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks as well. 5 Greet also the church in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in Asia. 6 Greet Mary, who has worked hard for you. 7 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners. They are well known to the apostles, and they were in Christ before me. 8 Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord. 9 Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my beloved Stachys. 10 Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the family of Aristobulus. 11 Greet my kinsman Herodion. Greet those in the Lord who belong to the family of Narcissus. 12 Greet those workers in the Lord, Tryphaena and Tryphosa. Greet the beloved Persis, who has worked hard in the Lord. 13 Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord; also his mother, who has been a mother to me as well. 14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them. 15 Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them. 16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.17 I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. 18 For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. 19 For your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil. 20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.21 Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you; so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.22 I Tertius, who wrote this letter, greet you in the Lord. 23 Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus, greet you.25 Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages 26 but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith— 27 to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.1. The sermon opens with the "how's it going" that isn't really a question — quick, shallow, going nowhere. Do you experience much of that shallow interaction in your day-to-day life?2. Paul's list of greetings cuts across every social line Rome used to keep people in their place — status, class, ethnicity, gender. Where in your own life do you find it hardest to cross those kinds of lines (there are others in our culture)?3. Paul tells Apelles he's "approved in Christ" — you've been through the fire and held on, and also, your approval was never in yourself to begin with. Which of those two do you need to hear more right now?4. Sometimes the same quality that makes a church warm and welcoming is exactly what wolves exploit. How do you hold those two things together — staying genuinely open and also genuinely discerning?5. If you are a Christian, what do you find to be your personal hurdles to engaging in free, full-hearted worship of God?6. Quartus — "Number Four" — a nobody with a slave's name, whose name ends up in the most important letter ever written. Is there someone in your life right now who feels invisible or nameless to the people around them, and what would it look like for you to do what Paul did?

Revelation 1:1-8 Prologue 1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. 3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near. Greeting to the Seven Churches 4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood 6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen. 8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” Introduction: Studying the book of Revelation Revelation Reveals Jesus Christ (vv. 1-3) Revelation Strengthens Christ's Church (vv. 4-6) Revelation Gives Hope in the Return of Christ (vv. 7-8) Conclusion

I have sung "Sweet Hour of Prayer" all my life. And it has left me with a quiet question: is a one-minute morning greeting with the Lord a desecration?

Too many of us are spending our days staring at screens. Little screens on our phones, big screens on the television, medium-size screens on our computers at work. Our modern lifestyles mean that we spend the vast majority of our time indoors–93%, on average. What is the time inside doing to our health? Is there an outdoor prescription to reverse dementia and depression? At The People's Pharmacy, we strive to bring you up to date, rigorously researched insights and conversations about health, medicine, wellness and health policies and health systems. While these conversations intend to offer insight and perspective, the content is provided solely for informational and educational purposes. Please consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medical care or treatment. How You Can Listen You could listen through your local public radio station or get the live stream at 7 am EST on Saturday, June 27, 2026, through your computer or smart phone (wunc.org).

What Is Our Indoor Time Doing to Us? Humans used to spend a lot of time outside and had their circadian rhythms synchronized with sunlight. Living indoors as most of us do can disrupt that natural rhythm. Bright indoor lighting as well as our favorite screens in the evening can make sleep more elusive. Another consequence of focusing on screens rather than on a distant horizon of land, sea or sky is an increased risk of nearsightedness. Beyond that, screen exposure can increase the chance of brain fog, insulin resistance and immune system abnormalities. If you are spending all your time inside, your body may process that as captivity and begin to rebel. The Outdoor Prescription Dr. John La Puma pioneered culinary medicine, making the connection between what we eat and the state of our health. His analysis of the research indicates that spending just 17 mindful minutes outside each day can help reverse the damage we suffer from living indoors. He offers seven types of outdoor prescription, starting with morning light. Greeting the Sun as the Day Begins Dr. La Puma encourages us all to start our day by stepping outside for at least a few minutes under the open sky. Before coffee, before screens, morning light gets us off to the right start and helps us sleep better at the end of the day. That light exposure, even on an overcast day, helps us with deeper sleep at night. Deep sleep is critical for maintaining the brain with the glymphatic system as well as for bolstering the immune response. Before checking your email or your social media, perhaps while the coffee is brewing, make it a point to step outside for a few minutes. If that is too difficult, standing in the doorway or just looking outside through a window screen (not glass) may be enough. Bright morning light exposure is helpful in treating major depressive disorder (JAMA Psychiatry, Jan. 2016). Although the study utilized standardized indoor lights, natural light outside is brighter, even on a cloudy day. New research shows that bright light during the day reduces the risk of dementia among older people (General Psychiatry, June 24, 2026). The benefit was especially clear for those who spent more time in brighter light (at least 5,000 lux) such as one would get on an overcast day. It was even able to mitigate some of the risk associated with APOE4 genes. What Is Forest Bathing? Another practice in Dr. La Puma's outdoor prescription pad is forest bathing. This idea comes from Japan. Spending time outdoors in a forest environment is extremely healing. It can help modulate the immune system, lower blood pressure and counteract stress. Forest bathing does not require a huge investment of time, either. One Japanese study found that spending just two hours a month in a forested environment can lead to lower blood pressure and reduce techno-stress. A review has found forest bathing beneficial against stress and burnout (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, July 28, 2017). https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28788101/ No Forest? No Problem Many people do not have an actual forest handy. Dr. La Puma describes his outdoor prescription for Sarah, who felt stuck inside her city apartment all the time while she cared for her elderly mother. What he prescribed for her was mindful time in the courtyard of her building, starting with very short periods of five to ten minutes. Gradually her heart rate slowed and blood pressure lowered and she began to recover from some of the chronic problems she had been suffering. Forest-bathing doesn't really require a forest. One tree, or in a pinch, a shrub, can be pressed into service. Meet Your Friends Outdoors There are few things better than spending time outdoors. One outdoor prescription that improves on spending time in nature by yourself is spending some of that outside time with friends. Walking, playing tennis, going for a picnic all help your system recalibrate. Human friends are important, but animals such as dogs or horses can also contribute to our well-being (as we contribute to theirs) when we spend time with them in a natural space. Taking Your Physical Activity Outside We all have heard how important it is for us to stay active if we want to maintain good cardiometabolic health, diminish our risk of depression and enhance our chances of staying cognitively sharp. There are advantages to outdoor activity that include but go beyond the benefits of exercise. You can accomplish the same amount of exercise with less perceived effort. In addition to light, and possibly horizons, you also get beneficial microbial exposure and a lot of joy. Gardening as an Outdoor Prescription A healthful diet begins with healthy organic soil. Gardening is a great way to experience this for yourself. We asked about people who do not have space for a backyard garden and heard about Greg, who learned to garden starting with a single basil plant indoors. Minimum Effective Dose for the Outdoor Prescription Dr. La Puma tells us that the minimum dose to get the benefits of being outdoors is just 17 minutes a day.

In April 2026, Pope Leo XIV, deep in a public feud with President Trump over the Iran war, made his first trip to Africa. He chose Algeria: the birthplace of Augustine, the spiritual founder of his order. Algeria is demanding reparations from France for 132 years of colonial rule and 1.5 million dead. It's parliament declared French colonization a "state crime" just four months before Leo landed. Before visiting with any Catholics, Leo laid a wreath at an anticolonial martyrs' monument, removed his shoes in one of the world's largest mosques, condemned "neocolonial tendencies" to the diplomatic corps, and honored 19 Catholic martyrs who stayed to serve Algerian Muslims through a civil war that killed 200,000. The right-wing press logged every stop as an outrage. The Arab press read it as vindication. And the old-school Algerian left noted that papal forgiveness might be easier for France to accept than a reparations bill. Matthew reads the visit through Augustine, historical materialism, liberation theology, and the testament of Christian de Chergé, prior of Tibhirine, who in 1994 wrote about his immanent martyrdom as the insurgents drew near. In his final testament, de Chergé wrote: I well know the contempt with which the Algerians taken as a whole have come to be dismissed. I also know the caricature of Islam that a certain kind of Islamism encourages. It is too easy to put one's conscience at rest by identifying this religion with the forms of fundamentalism of its extremists.
