Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Selasa, 26 Agustus 2025Bacaan: "Orang yang tertindas ini berseru, dan TUHAN mendengar. Ia menyelamatkan dia dari segala kesesakannya. Malaikat TUHAN berkemah di sekeliling orang-orang yang takut akan Dia, lalu meluputkan mereka. (Mazmur 34:7)Renungan: Sejarawan Cassius Dio mencatat sebuah peristiwa penting di dalam hidup Hadrian, Kaisar Roma darl tahun 117-138. Suatu ketika seorang wanita mengajukan permohonan kepada Hadrian ketika la berpapasan dengan wanita ini dalam suatu perjalanan. Awalnya Hadrian berkata, "Maaf, aku tak punya waktu." Namun, segera setelah mendengar wanita ini berseru, "Kalau begitu, berhentilah jadi Kaisar." Hadrian pun berbalik dan mendengarkan permohonan wanita itu. Betapa sering kita mengatakan atau mendengar. "Jangan sekarang. Aku sedang sibuk" atau "Maaf, aku tidak punya waktu." Namun Bapa Surgawi kita selalu menyediakan waktu untuk kita. Pemazmur menuliskan, "Mata Tuhan tertuju kepada orang-orang benar, dan telingaNya kepada teriak mereka minta tojong Apabila orang-orang benar itu berseru-seru, maka Tuhan mendengar, dan melepaskan mereka dari segala kesesakannya." (MZm 34:16-18). Allah tidak seperti Kalsar atau seorang eksekutif yang sibuk yang berusaha menghindari interupsi. Sebaliknya, sukacita Bapa adalah mendengarkan dan menanggapi anak-anak-Nya, karena. "Tuhan itu dekat kepada orang-orang yang patah hati, dan Ia menyelamatkan orang-orang yang remuk redam jiwanya." (Mzm 34:19). Setelah peristiwa itu, yang dipikirkan Hadrian adalah "Aku perlu menyediakan waktu untuk orang lain. sedangkan yang dipikirkan Allah sejak semula adalah "Aku selalu menyediakan waktu bagi mereka yang datang kepadaku." Kapanpun kita perlu berbicara dengan-Nya. Tuhan selalu siap mendengarkan. Bagaimana dengan kita? Sudahkah kita menyediakan waktu untuk orang-orang yang kita kasihi? Suami, istri. anak-anak, orang tua, sahabat? Pekerjaan tidak akan ada habisnya, tetapi kalau waktu jika telah hilang. tidak akan dapat diputar lagi. Jika kita terlalu sibuk bekerja dan memberikan waktu yang penuh untuk pekerjaan, ketika kita meninggal, perusahaan tempat kita bekerja akan dengan cepat mendapatkan pengganti kita. Tetapi keluarga yang kita tinggalkan akan kehilangan kita untuk selamanya, dan mereka tidak akan pernah mendapatkan pengganti kita dalam hidup mereka. Marilah kita atur waktu untuk Tuhan, keluarga dan pekerjaan. Jangan sampai kita menyesal karena sudah kehilangan waktu yang berharga untuk orang-orang yang kita kasihi. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih untuk pekerjaan dan tugas-tugas yang telah Kau percayakan padaku. Ajarilah aku untuk mampu mengatur waktuku bagi orang-orang di sekitarku yang aku kasihi. Jangan biarkan pekerjaanku menyita seluruh waktuku, sehingga suami, istri, orang tua, anak-anak dan sahabatku kehilangan kasih dan perhatianku. Jangan biarkan anak, istri, suami, orang tua dan sahabatku mencari pribadi atau idola lain untuk mengganti kedudukanku dalam hidup mereka. Biarlah aku senantiasa ada saat mereka membutuhkanku, sebagai mana Engkau selalu ada untukku. Amin. (Dodi.

1 Kings 20  describes the ongoing wars between Ahab and Benhadad, the Syrian king. Syria was a powerful realm and under Ahab Israel was a feeble and impoverished country. So Benhadad made excessive demands of tribute from Ahab. When Ahab accedes to these the Syrian monarch increases his demands and Ahab refuses to accept the increasing demands. Benhadad becomes enraged and swears to raze Samaria to the ground by tomorrow. Ahab's response was, "Let not the one who straps his armour on boast. That is reserved for the one who will take his armour off". The LORD sent a prophet to tell Ahab that Yahweh would give Israel the victory over the huge host of the Syrians and their allies. The army of Israel was a mere 232 town officials and 7,000 men. Benhadad had 32 kings with him. So confident was Benhadad that his orders were that the king of Israel and his officials were not to be slain, but taken alive. God sent confusion into the enemy host and in their panic they slew one another as they sought to flee. Ahab was told that next spring, that was the time for making warfare, the Syrians would renew their struggle. The Syrian wise men suggest that the reason for Israel's victory was that Yahweh was a hill god. The next campaign must be fought in the valleys. The prophet said that Yahweh would humble the Syrians and their gods, who were no gods. When the time for battle came Israel's army was like two tiny flocks of sheep; but nonetheless they were protected by the Almighty Shepherd of His people. In contrast the Syrians, who despite their overwhelmingly superior numbers, were nervous because of their last encounter. On the first day of the battle 100,000 of Israel's enemies are killed and the remainder flee only to be overtaken by further calamity in Aphek, where a wall collapsed killing 27,000 more. Benhadad went into hiding in a secret chamber from where he sent skilled emissaries to Ahab, to determine his attitude. Foolishly Ahab accepted the peace terms and treated the Syrian monarch with clemency. The Almighty sent another prophet to Ahab to rebuke his dereliction of the divine determination and this prophet pronounces retribution upon Ahab.  Jeremiah 47 pronounces divine judgment upon Philistia. The word in Hebrew for'Philistine' means "those who grovel in the dust". It was the origin of the Roman word 'Palestinian' given to Israel's land by the emperor Hadrian in AD 135. The judgment upon the Philistines happened in Jeremiah's lifetime and undoubtedly carries applications for our era. Among the Corinthians there was a misunderstanding in relation to the responsibility of making judgment on disputes between believers. They were taking their fellow believers before the bench for decisions. So Paul urges them in this 6th chapter to settle the issue among themselves and declares that it is shameful for believers to go to law to settle disputes among themselves. The Apostle says that the time is coming in the kingdom when the worldly authorities would be ruled by the saints. So surely determinations of differences must be decided in the ecclesia. The ancient city of Corinth was renowned for fornication. It was a proverb of the first century AD that visitors would go to the Acrocorinthus to 'Corinthianise', that is to fornicate. The Acro Corinthia, atop of the city's mount, had a temple with many restaurants and 3,000 temple prostitutes. So wrong was this activity that Paul warns believers from going there for a meal if they were going to be distracted by the evil practices which occurred there. And even if they were not personally affected the Apostle says that a believer should not go there in case it should become a cause of stumbling to another. Engaging in a sexual union outside of marriage is defiling for holy believers - they are God's temple: see Hebrews 13:4. And in today's world their are many places and practices that believers must avoid in order to live lives of holiness as we wait for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: read aloud slowly Titus 2:11-14 and let us live this way.

rWotD Episode 3011: Ouseburn Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Friday, 1 August 2025, is Ouseburn.The Ouseburn is a small river in Newcastle upon Tyne, England that flows through the city into the River Tyne. It gives its name to the Ouseburn Valley and the Ouseburn electoral ward for Newcastle City Council elections.The Ouseburn has its source at Callerton in the north of the city near Newcastle Airport. It then flows through the Kingston Park area of the city, Newcastle Great Park, Gosforth Park and Whitebridge Park. The Ouseburn then continues from South Gosforth into Jesmond Dene then through Armstrong Park and Heaton Park, where it marks the boundary between Heaton and Sandyford. The river then flows through a culvert before re-emerging under Ouseburn railway viaduct, whence it flows past the City Farm, Seven Stories and the Toffee Factory and meets the River Tyne.The river was previously tidal from the Viaduct, revealing dark mud at low tide. However, since 2009 a tidal barrage at the river mouth retains high water in the Ouseburn at low tide, with the objective of providing a more pleasant environment alongside its banks at low tide, thus promoting development. Despite the expense of its construction, the Ouseburn barrage has had operational problems and was left open for a length of time while they were corrected.The lower Ouseburn Valley, whilst heavily industrialised in the past, serves as of 2013 as a hub for the arts and creative industries, and has a lively pub scene, noted for live music and real ale.In Roman times the lower Ouseburn Valley was crossed by Hadrian's Wall, but there are now no visible traces to be seen. On the eastern side of the valley, at the eastern end of a new block of flats, there is an information board with an artist's impression of the Wall crossing the valley. This section of the Wall was the later extension from the Roman fort of Pons Aelius (Newcastle) to that of Segedunum (Wallsend). This newer section of the Wall was not backed by the Vallum ditch, because the River Tyne rendered it superfluous.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:01 UTC on Friday, 1 August 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Ouseburn on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kimberly.

H3 - Segment 4 - Thur July 31 2025 - When I was in England and Scotland I didn't get to see Hadrian's Wall

She was a maiden from Antioch who lived (perhaps as a slave) in the house of Sabina, wife of a Senator. When Seraphima brought the senator's wife to faith in Christ, the governor summoned Seraphima before him. When she held firm in her faith, he cast her into prison and send several young men to her cell by night to defile her. When they arrived, she was praying to God, and an angel of the Lord appeared before them, clothed in light and bearing a sword; and the young men fell down unconscious. Finally, Seraphima received her martyr's crown when she was beheaded by the governor's order. Sabina, the senator's wife, recovered and buried her body, from which a healing myrrh flowed. This was during the reign of Hadrian.

Two men have each been jailed for more than four years for cutting down the Sycamore Gap tree in the United Kingdom. The tree is a much-loved and well-known global landmark whose dramatic silhouette had featured in a Hollywood movie. The sycamore, estimated to be almost 200 years old, stood at the centre of a dramatic dip in the landscape alongside Hadrian's Wall in northern England, making it a popular spot for photographers, hikers and even marriage proposals.

Clare is in Northumberland today for the final episode of this Camino de Santiago themed series. She's walking along a section of Hadrian's Wall with a fabulous group of women - the Ciao Ciao Girls - celebrating the 10th anniversary of their pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Since then, they've become a tightly bonded unit who gather every year to complete another walking challenge. For today's joyful, windy and very rainy hike they met at the Steel Rigg car park, and completed a circular walk including the remains of the tree at Sycamore Gap. As they wander they reflect on their first adventure together on the Camino, what that experience brought them, and continues to bring them ten years on.Steel Rigg Car Park, NE47 7AW / What3Words: teacher.spelling.tweedPresenter: Clare Balding Producer: Karen Gregor

Lo scrittore statunitense Edmund White, morto il 3 giugno a 85 anni, ha lasciato un ultimo libro, Gli amori della mia vita, dedicato alla descrizione molto ironica ma anche molto letteraria delle sue numerose avventure sessuali. Deficit è un saggio dell'autrice e attivista scandinava Emma Holten che invita a ripensare l'economia in chiave femminista, dando al lavoro nascosto delle donne il suo valore. Il Festival dei due mondi, a Spoleto, si apre con Hadrian, un'opera lirica in quattro atti scritta dal cantautore e compositore canadese Rufus Wainwright.  Il fotografo statunitense Roger Ballen è al Mattatoio di Roma con una mostra intitolata Animalism che esplora il rapporto profondo ed enigmatico tra esseri umani e animali.CONVincenzo Latronico, scrittoreBarbara Leda Kenny, esperta di politiche di genere della Fondazione Giacomo BrodoliniAndrea Penna, conduttore radiofonico e critico musicaleDaria Scolamacchia, photo editor che collabora con InternazionaleSe ascolti questo podcast e ti piace, abbonati a Internazionale.

Study 26 - Luke 21:5-38 The fall of Jerusalem and the End of the Age First: some introduction. A quick google shows 9 occasions in which there was a major siege and capture of Jerusalem, from that by the Babylonians in 586 BC to one by the British in AD 1917. This chapter is very similar to Mark 13 and Matthew 24 (many think Mark’ gospel was a major source of Luke’s information). Matt 24, in particular, is worth reading to note the additional information it contains. These chapters are concerned with Jesus’ prophecies of the important siege and sack of Jerusalem in AD 70. This was carried out by the Romans in reaction to a rebellion of the Jews within the Roman Empire about 40 years after the death of Jesus (probably about the time Luke wrote his gospel). But these are notoriously difficult chapters to understand, mainly because the prophecies of the fall of Jerusalem act in part as a foreshadowing and illustration of what is still to happen at the end of the age. The fall of Jerusalem was immediately catastrophic for the Jews but even more important for the Christians who understood it to be the final act of the OT approach to God, completely clearing the way for the Kingdom Age introduced by Jesus. Even the phrase ‘end of the age’ is difficult. Some argue that from the perspective of a Jew in AD 60 that would mean no more than the end of their life, society and culture, which did indeed occur in AD 70, landing them into a totally different age. However it seems to have at least some reference to the Day of the Lord, which is still in front of us nearly 2000 years later. Question 1: Which of the following verses is about the Fall of Jerusalem, which is about the end of the age, and which cannot be clearly assigned solely to either of these? v6–9; v24b; v25 & 27; v34b-35 The fall of Jerusalem was horrendous by any standards. According to Josephus, a Jewish historian working for the Romans, about 1.1 million people (he is known to exaggerate!) were killed, many because different factions of the Jews fought each other within the walls while the Romans watched in amazement from outside. The temple was then totally destroyed by the Romans but the city did continue for a further 65 years until AD 135 when a further revolt so infuriated Hadrian, the Emperor at that time, that he had it completely razed to the ground and rebuilt as a Roman city called Aelia Capitolina. Question 2: Is there any reason to think that the problems of v 9, 10, 25 and 26 were any worse in the 1st century than previously? Or are any worse in the 21st century? A matter of opinion – but I don’t think there is much difference. With the vast improvement in communication technology we know far more about what is happening on the other side of the world than they used to do. Read Daniel 7:1–3, 7–14, 19–22, 27. The hearers of Jesus will have known this prophecy of Daniel well. Question 3: What then will they have understood him to mean by the reference to the Son of Man in Luke 21: 27? In particular what encouragement will they have got from what he said? They will have been encouraged not only by the promise that Jesus will return in great power and glory but that the figure in Daniel is representative of the people of God. They will have taken this to mean that their position would improve greatly in the age to come. Question 4: What encouragement should persecuted Christians in one of the difficult countries of the world get from what Jesus said? Question 5: If, on the other hand, we are in one of the easier countries in the world to be a Christian what encouragement should we get from this chapter? It is strange that Luke does not use what Mark records in Mk 13:32–36. Question 6: What are the motives of those who ignore those verses and make confident but erroneous predictions? How should we react to such things? Right mouse click or tap here to save/download this as a MP3 audio file

An honored Roman commander in Tripoli of Phoenicia, he was described as being 'of great physical stature, powerful, strong and bold in battle'. When it was learned that he was a Christian and had given grain to the poor from the imperial storehouse, the governor Hadrian, a great persecutor of Christians, sent Hypatius, a military commander, and Theodoulus, a soldier, along with some others to arrest him. On the way Hypatius fell gravely ill with a fever, and the company had to delay its mission. One night an angel of the Lord appeared to Hypatius and said, 'If you desire to be healed, you and your soldiers must cry to heaven three times: "O God of Leontius, help me!"'. Hypatius told his comrades of his vision, and when they all cried out as instructed Hypatius was instantly healed. Hypatius and Theodoulos then went on ahead of the other soldiers and found Leontius. Leontius received them hospitably and offered them refreshment. As they rested in his house, he proclaimed his faith in Christ and their hearts began to burn within them. While Leontius was still speaking, a bright cloud descended upon the two soldiers and shed dew on them while Leontius said 'In the name of the All-holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.' Thus were they baptized by the Holy Spirit Himself.

Marguerite Yourcenar entered the Académie Française in 1981, the first woman to be admitted. Her novel Memoirs of Hadrian, published thirty years earlier, is ‘often considered the best French novel of the 20th century', as Joanna Biggs wrote in a recent issue of the LRB. In this episode of the podcast, Joanna joins Tom to discuss Yourcenar's life and work, and what makes Memoirs of Hadrian – a reimagining of the life of the Roman emperor – such a good book.Find further reading on the episode page: https://lrb.me/yourcenarpodFind Memoirs of Hadrian at the Bookshop: https://lrb.me/hadrianpodSponsored links:Find out more about the National Gallery's Siena exhibition here: https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/exhibitions/siena-the-rise-of-painting Hosted on Acast.

Marcus Aurelius (121–180 CE), a Roman emperor and prominent Stoic philosopher, ruled from 161 to 180 CE. As the last of the Five Good Emperors, his reign marked the end of the Pax Romana, a period of relative peace in the Roman Empire. Known for his military campaigns against Parthians and Germanic tribes, he also endured the devastating Antonine Plague. His philosophical reflections, compiled in Meditations, offer insight into Stoic ethics and personal leadership. Marcus was succeeded by his son Commodus, whose rule marked a decline in Rome's stability. His legacy endures in both historical and philosophical contexts.

In this special episode of Sleepy Seedlings, we travel to the windswept hills of Northumberland, where a solitary sycamore once stood in a dip along Hadrian's Wall. Known as the Sycamore Gap Tree, it became one of the most photographed in the world — a place of stillness, of memory, and quiet meaning. And then, one morning, it was gone. What follows is a gentle reflection on grief, legacy, and the deep bond between people and trees. We explore how a single tree came to hold so much love, how its loss stirred something far beyond headlines, and how — in seeds, saplings, and silence — it continues to grow. Hosted on Acast.

The new leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo XIV, was born in Chicago but spent many years living and working in Peru where he was made a bishop. We speak to a Peruvian Catholic, who welcomes Leo's election, and hear from our correspondent, Ione Wells, in the Peruvian city of Chiclayo where the new Pope lived.Also in the programme: Russia celebrates the 80th anniversary of Victory Day and the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. We speak to a former Russian military officer; and two men are convicted of cutting down an iconic tree on the historic Hadrian's Wall in the north east of England. They could face up to 10 years in prison. We hear why trees are so important to people and the environment.

The second Trump administration has spurred a wave of domestic industrial investment and a recognition that making things in America matters. But what does that look like from the factory floor?Chris Power, founder and CEO of Hadrian, joins Oren to discuss how his company is helping lead reindustrialization efforts here in the United States. He explains the revolutionary technologies Hadrian uses to compete at scale with foreign firms and highlights just how different the manufacturing jobs of today are compared to what many think of as “factory work.” Finally, he and Oren talk through ways policymakers can support the domestic industrial startups we need to return America to its place as the world's leading technological and industrial power.Further reading:The Techno-Industrial Policy Playbook, published this week by American Compass, FAI, IFP, and NAIANot By Tariff Alone by Chris Griswold What An Enduring Industrial Policy Requires by Charles Yang Tear Down this Paper Wall by Christopher Koopman and Josh T.

Scientists from around the world gathered in Rome on 2nd May 1922 to agree on a definitive list of 88 constellations, which up until then had been an astronomical free-for-all. The collection of eminent astronomers eventually settled on 42 animals, 29 inanimate objects and 17 humans or mythological characters, which, taken together, offered a complete map of the skies for the very first time. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how different ancient civilisations around the world understood the heavens differently; marvel at the immense contribution of Ancient Greeks to contemporary astronomy; and discuss why Antinous, the boy lover of the Roman emperor Hadrian, is the greatest constellation no longer in use…  Further Reading: • ‘10 Constellations that Never Caught On' (Mental Floss, 2010): https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/49454/10-constellations-never-caught  • ‘The Constellations' (IAU, 2001): https://www.iau.org/public/themes/constellations/  • ‘Pictures in the sky: the origin and history of the constellations' (The Royal Society, 2014): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZm-QaKqS-Y&t=271s  #1920s #Space #Europe #Science This episode first aired in 2023 Love the show?

Eudocia was from Heliopolis of Phoenicia (now Baalbek in Lebanon). A surpassingly beautiful pagan, she led a licentious life and became wealthy from the gifts of her many lovers. One day an elderly monk, Germanus, came to Heliopolis and stayed with a Christian whose house adjoined Eudocia's. At night, he began to read aloud from the Psalter and a book on the Last Judgment. From next-door, Eudocia heard him. Her heart was reached, and she stood attentively all night, listening to every word in fear and contrition. The next day she begged Germanus to visit her, and he explained the saving Christian faith to her. Finally, Eudocia asked the local bishop to baptise her. She freed her servants, gave all her wealth to the poor, and entered a monastery.   "Her former lovers, enraged at her conversion, her refusal to return to her old ways, and the withering away of her beauty through the severe mortifications she practiced, betrayed her as a Christian to Vincent the Governor, and she was beheaded"(Great Horologion). According to some,this was under Trajan (98-117); according to others, under Hadrian (117-138).   The Prologue gives a somewhat different account: that after entering the monastery, Eudocia was permitted to pursue the monastic life in peace — with such devotion that, thirteen months after she entered the monastery, she was chosen as abbess. She lived for fifty-six years in the monastery, and was granted the gift of raising the dead. In her old age, a persecution of Christians arose, and Eudocia was beheaded along with many others. "Here is a wonderful example of how a vessel of uncleanness can be purified, sanctified and filled with a precious, heavenly fragrance by the grace of the Holy Spirit" (Prologue).

The Roman Empire has one of the most enduring legacies of any civilization due to its ability to adapt to shifting circumstances. The emperor Trajan was famous for his aggressive expansion, extending Roman borders to their greatest extent. His successor Hadrian is famous for his wise decision to recognize the limits of Roman power and fortify the boundaries of the empire to a reasonable extent which the state could maintain. As Donald Trump explores both isolationist and expansionist options Alex Petkas, host of the "Cost of Glory" podcast, joins me to discuss what America can learn from these two great leaders.
