Podcasts about Ham

Noah was far from perfect, but he was a humble man, and protective of his family. He stands out among fathers in the Bible as a man who remained loyal to God, in spite of the wickedness of the world around him.Doesn't that sound a lot like life today? Fathers who choose to follow a life of faith are surrounded by temptation and downright evil in this world, but God is pleased by our devotion, and He has a plan for each of us — even when circumstances are frustrating or difficult. Genesis 6:5–8 says, “The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord said, ‘I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.' But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.”The Bible tells us Noah, father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, was a righteous man, and walked faithfully with God. For this reason, God chose Noah to build an incredible boat – the ark – that would save not only mankind, but every variety of living creature on the earth — from peril.Sometimes fathers feel like their job is a thankless one. They tackle the honey-do list on weekends, help with dinner, keep the kids in line, and help to wrangle them at bedtime...and they don't hear “thank you,” or “great job,” often enough. But God knows everything you do for your family, from breadwinning to caretaking and everything in between, and He takes delight in your devotion to your family, and to Him.Deuteronomy 30:2–3 says, “And when you and your children return to the Lord your God and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything I command you today, then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you.”Modern-day fathers can learn valuable lessons from Noah:God promises to bless and protect those who faithfully follow and obey him. A man who obeys the Lord will inspire faith in his children as well. Obedience is not a sprint but a marathon; It means a lifetime of faithful devotion, even (and especially!) when the going gets tough.Let's pray.Heavenly Father, thank you for calling out Noah's faithful obedience to you so many years ago, and for providing for the safety and provision of his entire family when the world had gone astray. Bless every father who hears this message, Lord, that they might grow closer in their walk with you, and inspire their children to follow in their footsteps. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Hi, this is Archer72 for another episode of Hacker Public Radio. In this episode, it is my first experience troubleshooting with an experienced blind Ham operator who is located 20 miles away from my hometown. When traveling there, I could not miss his house, which was the only one off the main road with an estimated 50 foot antenna. That's 15 meters for the rest of the world. This antenna was intended for the HF high frequency band, for which the local Ham radio club had very recently extended to this height. The target radio bands are 20, 40 and 80 meters. I had missed a great opportunity to record the session so wanted record (and write this) while it was fresh on my mind. Several months later… This particualar operator (KG4QWH) (Kilo-Golf-Four-Quebec-Whiskey-Hotel) was a radio operator for the local emergency services for 22 years, after which the new company decided to cut back on staff. A local broadcast radio station was hiring soon after and was using some version of Linux which was not accessible for a blind user like himself. This conversation was started after I was asked about his computer that he was trying to force update on older hardware from Windows (7?) to Windows 11, in true hacker fashion. While talking about the Linux situation and also the Windows side, it brough to light the glaring (near) ommision of accessibility software in both camps. On the Windows side, which is more familiar to my friend, is Jaws. Great software, but year after year the barrier of cost is getting more, and on the Linux side accessibility is not looking any better. While cost is not a factor in using it, and this is only coming from me, the voices could be better. Piper is an option for natural sounding voices, but has yet to be integrated into a FOSS screen reader AFAIK. On the positive side of accessibility, the Kenwood radio (model TS-590S) has the option to add a module to give an audible description of the buttons being pressed, and at the time there was gnother operator who came through and talk him through some receiver settings. The reason I went there is the first place was that the Kenwood microphone was causing noise to come across the speaker when he keyed up the mic. Initially the proprosed solution was to switch two wires inside the Kenwood microphone. I was asked about this ahead of time so was prepared with an electrical box with miscellaneous low voltage wires and stripping tool, also a Pincil soldering iron equiped with a USB C 100 watt power supply. To fix the problem on the Kenwood MC-60 microphone, you need to swap the wires so that mic hi is on Pin 1 and mic low (shield) is on Pin 7. This is often necessary due to factory wiring errors. After finding out that the proposed solution was to open the mic, which required a heat gun the soften the locktight, I tried another route. My friend had a toroid choke handy, and I coiled the feed line to the back of the radio around the toroid. (8 - 10 times?) This had no effect. Next to try was to ground the mic from the outside, which there was a bare metal screw on. This connected to a dedicated ground on the back of the Kenwood TS-590S radio. This seem to suppress the hum when using PTT. The rest of the evening (the best time for HF), Matthew was able to make contacts on 40 meters. Great to meet you as well my friend and I appreciate you coming up. I was able to talk on 40 this evening with no problems. I reached several in Kentucky Indiana and I even reached Kansas. Come to think of it. I was even able to reach someone on the Jersey shore.

The Curse of Ham is a theological idea that has been used throughout history in attempts to explain slavery, racial distinctions, and even racial hierarchy. But what does the biblical text actually say?In this episode of Conversations That Matter, Jon Harris examines Genesis 9 and the historical interpretations surrounding Ham and Canaan. Was Ham actually cursed? What was Ham's sin? Does the text support the increasingly popular maternal incest theory? Why was Canaan cursed instead of Ham? And when did the idea emerge that the Curse of Ham applied to African peoples?We examine the biblical text, early Jewish and Christian interpretations, church history, and the later development of racial applications of this passage.The goal is not to force modern political concerns into Scripture, but to understand Genesis on its own terms and examine the historical record honestly.00:00 The Curse of Ham Theology Is Back 05:20 What Does Genesis 9 Actually Say? 13:55 The Maternal Incest Theory Examined 19:12 Why Was Canaan Cursed Instead of Ham? 28:30 How Jewish and Christian Writers Interpreted the Curse 35:40 When Did the Curse Become Connected to Black Skin? 39:30 The Curse of Ham and African Slavery 45:00 Modern Race and Biblical Interpretation 52:00 The Prophetic Meaning of Noah's Blessings and Curse 59:00 What Did Calvin and Other Theologians Actually Believe?Jon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.jonharrismedia.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris Follow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Episode 1682: Looksmaxxing

Tell the Coming GenerationA Maskil[a] of Asaph.78 Give ear, O my people, to my teaching;    incline your ears to the words of my mouth!2 I will open my mouth in a parable;    I will utter dark sayings from of old,3 things that we have heard and known,    that our fathers have told us.4 We will not hide them from their children,    but tell to the coming generationthe glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,    and the wonders that he has done.5 He established a testimony in Jacob    and appointed a law in Israel,which he commanded our fathers    to teach to their children,6 that the next generation might know them,    the children yet unborn,and arise and tell them to their children,7     so that they should set their hope in Godand not forget the works of God,    but keep his commandments;8 and that they should not be like their fathers,    a stubborn and rebellious generation,a generation whose heart was not steadfast,    whose spirit was not faithful to God.9 The Ephraimites, armed with[b] the bow,    turned back on the day of battle.10 They did not keep God's covenant,    but refused to walk according to his law.11 They forgot his works    and the wonders that he had shown them.12 In the sight of their fathers he performed wonders    in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.13 He divided the sea and let them pass through it,    and made the waters stand like a heap.14 In the daytime he led them with a cloud,    and all the night with a fiery light.15 He split rocks in the wilderness    and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.16 He made streams come out of the rock    and caused waters to flow down like rivers.17 Yet they sinned still more against him,    rebelling against the Most High in the desert.18 They tested God in their heart    by demanding the food they craved.19 They spoke against God, saying,    “Can God spread a table in the wilderness?20 He struck the rock so that water gushed out    and streams overflowed.Can he also give bread    or provide meat for his people?”21 Therefore, when the Lord heard, he was full of wrath;    a fire was kindled against Jacob;    his anger rose against Israel,22 because they did not believe in God    and did not trust his saving power.23 Yet he commanded the skies above    and opened the doors of heaven,24 and he rained down on them manna to eat    and gave them the grain of heaven.25 Man ate of the bread of the angels;    he sent them food in abundance.26 He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens,    and by his power he led out the south wind;27 he rained meat on them like dust,    winged birds like the sand of the seas;28 he let them fall in the midst of their camp,    all around their dwellings.29 And they ate and were well filled,    for he gave them what they craved.30 But before they had satisfied their craving,    while the food was still in their mouths,31 the anger of God rose against them,    and he killed the strongest of them    and laid low the young men of Israel.32 In spite of all this, they still sinned;    despite his wonders, they did not believe.33 So he made their days vanish like[c] a breath,[d]    and their years in terror.34 When he killed them, they sought him;    they repented and sought God earnestly.35 They remembered that God was their rock,    the Most High God their redeemer.36 But they flattered him with their mouths;    they lied to him with their tongues.37 Their heart was not steadfast toward him;    they were not faithful to his covenant.38 Yet he, being compassionate,    atoned for their iniquity    and did not destroy them;he restrained his anger often    and did not stir up all his wrath.39 He remembered that they were but flesh,    a wind that passes and comes not again.40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness    and grieved him in the desert!41 They tested God again and again    and provoked the Holy One of Israel.42 They did not remember his power[e]    or the day when he redeemed them from the foe,43 when he performed his signs in Egypt    and his marvels in the fields of Zoan.44 He turned their rivers to blood,    so that they could not drink of their streams.45 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them,    and frogs, which destroyed them.46 He gave their crops to the destroying locust    and the fruit of their labor to the locust.47 He destroyed their vines with hail    and their sycamores with frost.48 He gave over their cattle to the hail    and their flocks to thunderbolts.49 He let loose on them his burning anger,    wrath, indignation, and distress,    a company of destroying angels.50 He made a path for his anger;    he did not spare them from death,    but gave their lives over to the plague.51 He struck down every firstborn in Egypt,    the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of Ham.52 Then he led out his people like sheep    and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.53 He led them in safety, so that they were not afraid,    but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.54 And he brought them to his holy land,    to the mountain which his right hand had won.55 He drove out nations before them;    he apportioned them for a possession    and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.56 Yet they tested and rebelled against the Most High God    and did not keep his testimonies,57 but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers;    they twisted like a deceitful bow.58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places;    they moved him to jealousy with their idols.59 When God heard, he was full of wrath,    and he utterly rejected Israel.60 He forsook his dwelling at Shiloh,    the tent where he dwelt among mankind,61 and delivered his power to captivity,    his glory to the hand of the foe.62 He gave his people over to the sword    and vented his wrath on his heritage.63 Fire devoured their young men,    and their young women had no marriage song.64 Their priests fell by the sword,    and their widows made no lamentation.65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,    like a strong man shouting because of wine.66 And he put his adversaries to rout;    he put them to everlasting shame.67 He rejected the tent of Joseph;    he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,68 but he chose the tribe of Judah,    Mount Zion, which he loves.69 He built his sanctuary like the high heavens,    like the earth, which he has founded forever.70 He chose David his servant    and took him from the sheepfolds;71 from following the nursing ewes he brought him    to shepherd Jacob his people,    Israel his inheritance.72 With upright heart he shepherded them    and guided them with his skillful hand.+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at

Episode 1680: Pain

Daily Dose of Hope August 19, 2026   Scripture: Genesis 10   Prayer: Almighty God, As we move into a new day, we pray that today will be a day that we see glimpses of your glory.  We need you, we yearn for you.  Lord, help us set aside our distractions and settle our scattered thoughts so we can focus on you and you alone.  In the next few moments of silence, Lord, hear our prayers... In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently doing a deep dive into the book of Genesis, which will be followed by a deep dive into Exodus.  I think you have already realized there is a lot of substance in these chapters!  Today, our reading is Genesis 10.    Let's start out by stating that this isn't the most interesting chapter.  It's the list of the clans of Noah's sons.  But if we look a little closer, we realize there is much to learn in this chapter.   In the previous chapter, we learned about Ham and his curse.  His sons are listed here is verse 6.  They are Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan.  You probably immediately notice Egypt and Canaan, and we notice that for generations, they were the enemies of God's people.  But there is more.  In verse 8, we read that Ham's son, Cush, is the father of Nimrod.  Nimrod was a tremendous warrior and his kingdom was centered in Babylon (who eventually conquered the Southern Kingdom of Judah) and Shinar, where the tower of Babel was built (we will read about that tomorrow).  Nimrod's territory also extends into Assyria (who conquered the Northern Kingdom) and he builds the famous city of Ninevah.    In verse 13, we read that Ham's son, Egypt, is the father of the Kasluhites.  That is the group from which the Philistines were descended.  In verse 14, we read that Ham's son, Canaan is the father of Sidon.  From Sidon came the Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, and Hivites – all of whom were removed from the Promised Land by Joshua and the Hebrew army.   It is fascinating to see how many of the cities, nations, and tribes, descended from Ham, become outright enemies of God's people.  That curse was real, my friends.   I know that genealogies can be boring, but they are included for a reason.  If we look deeper, what we realize is that these genealogies can unlock so much of the Old Testament.  Often, they even pave the way for the New Testament, and explain nuances that we just don't get unless we look beneath the surface.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki  

Episode 1679: Eat, Pray, Grift

Daily Dose of Hope August 18, 2026   Scripture: Genesis 9:18-28   Prayer: Holy God, We come before you today in humility and awe.  You are a good God.  You, who put the stars and planets in motion, also created us.  You care about the most minute details of our lives.  You have numbered the hairs on our head.  Thank you for loving us.  Thank you for caring so much.  Help us be put even a small reflection of your love toward those around us.  More of you and less of me, Jesus.  Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently doing a deep dive into the book of Genesis, which will be followed by a deep dive into Exodus.  I think you have already realized there is a lot of substance in these chapters!  Today, our reading is the second half of Genesis 9.    Although the judgment of the flood changed the earth, it did not change the heart of humans, which is still inherently sinful.  Today's reading is strange.  Most of you probably noticed that.  But I don't think the point of the story is Noah's drunkenness.  Rather, the point is that even though we have this beautiful renewed earth and humans are given a second chance, sin is still rearing its ugly head.   Let's go deeper.  The Scripture says that Noah, as the new Adam, is a man of the ground, which means he was a farmer.  He plants a vineyard and gets drunk on his wine.  Here is where things get odd.  In his drunken state, Noah is naked in his tent.  Thus, his nakedness was seen by his three sons.  Most of us would say, well who cares?  Not that big a deal.  But there is more here than we can see on the surface.  What does it mean that the three sons "saw Noah's nakedness?"   There are different theories.  One is simply that Ham saw his dad naked and didn't do anything to cover him up.  He then shared this bit of gossip with his brothers.  That is the most straightforward, but it seems a little extreme that his father would then curse him and his sons forever.    More scholars tend to think that some kind of sexual sin occurred here.  Some think that Ham sexually assaulted his father and others think he assaulted his mother, who was most likely laying next to Noah.  Regardless, it was bad and then he went and told his brothers.   His brothers had more wisdom.  In contrast to Ham, Shem and Japheth went to great trouble to cover up their father and not look at his naked body.  They actually walk backwards so they don't have to see his exposed parts.  And they end up being blessed for this.   And Ham ends up being cursed.  Actually, its his son, Canaan, who really gets the curse.  This is a painful lesson.  When we sin, we make the assumption that we are going to bear the consequences of that sin.  But with so many things, it isn't just the sinner who bears the sin, it's their offspring and future generations.  The sin of Ham results in the Canaanites being cursed – they become horribly perverse in the next few hundred years.  In fact, the Canaanites are often held up as an example of how we are not supposed to be.  The whole Canaanite culture was shaped by Ham's sin.    It isn't until Jesus that we see this begin to change.  I think of the Canaanite woman who begs Jesus to heal her daughter who is suffering.  It's an odd exchange in the Scripture (look up Matthew 15 or Mark 7), and she and Jesus have dialogue about how even the dogs get to eat their owners' scraps.  In the end, Jesus is amazed by both her wit and her faith.  Her daughter is healed.  And Jesus shows us that his mercy and love now extend even to the Canaanites.    Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Genesis 6:1-13 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3 ¶ And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 ¶ There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 ¶ And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 8 ¶ But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. 9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11 ¶ The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13 ¶ And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Margin Notes is back! This week, the gang tackles J.R.R. Tolkien's short story, _Farmer Giles of Ham_ . A humble farmer accidentally scares off a giant, earns a legendary sword, and ends up face to face with a dragon—all while the king and his knights argue about their hats. The conversation covers greed, good and bad pride, government incompetence, and what Tolkien is really saying about the common man as hero.   Margin Notes is a book club podcast from the team behind Classical Et Cetera, where host Paul Schaefer sits down with three classically educated undergraduates to discuss one great book per episode.   Get your copy of _Farmer Giles of Ham_ right here: https://www.memoriapress.com/curriculum/read-alouds/farmer-giles-of-ham/

** VIDEO EN NUESTRO CANAL DE YOUTUBE **** https://youtube.com/live/o-SojgX-JSU +++++ Hazte con nuestras camisetas en https://www.bhmshop.app +++++ La guerra en Oriente Medio continúa sin encontrar una salida política. Benjamin Netanyahu rechaza el nuevo plan para poner fin a la guerra en Gaza, al considerar inaceptable una retirada israelí antes del desarme completo de Hamás. El futuro de Gaza, la presencia militar israelí y la posibilidad de un Estado palestino vuelven a situarse en el centro del conflicto. En este programa de Bellumartis, Francisco García Campa conversa con Efraín Jorge Acevedo para analizar qué pretende realmente Israel y cuáles son los obstáculos que impiden alcanzar un acuerdo. ¿Por qué Netanyahu rechaza el plan para Gaza? ¿Puede producirse el desarme de Hamás? ¿Quién debería gobernar la Franja después de la guerra? ¿Existe una estrategia israelí para terminar el conflicto o estamos ante una guerra sin una salida política definida? Pero Gaza no es el único frente abierto. La confrontación con Irán permanece enquistada y el estrecho de Ormuz continúa sin recuperar la normalidad, manteniendo la presión sobre una de las principales arterias energéticas y comerciales del planeta. Netanyahu, además, ha vuelto a desafiar públicamente a Teherán y ha reiterado que Israel no permitirá que Irán obtenga armas nucleares. Analizaremos también qué capacidad militar conserva Irán, por qué Teherán mantiene la presión sobre Ormuz, qué posibilidades existen de alcanzar un acuerdo con Estados Unidos y hasta qué punto Gaza, Irán y el Golfo forman parte de una misma lucha por el equilibrio de poder en Oriente Medio. Gaza sin acuerdo, Irán sin una paz definitiva y Ormuz bajo presión. ¿Hacia dónde se dirige ahora Oriente Medio?

Episode 1675: Flagrant

El programa destaca la preocupación por los incendios activos en Segovia, Castellón y Huelva, que arrasan miles de hectáreas y provocan desalojos, y advierte sobre el riesgo adicional que supone el eclipse solar total del miércoles, que movilizará a miles de personas a zonas forestales. Se analiza la masiva concentración en Ceuta, donde miles de ciudadanos protestan contra la gestión gubernamental de la crisis migratoria y la situación de los menores no acompañados, reafirmando la españolidad de la ciudad. También se aborda la tensión entre España e Italia por los controles de pasaporte, una "sanchistada" en respuesta a la "melonada" de Meloni, que erosiona el espacio Schengen y revela contradicciones en la política migratoria española. En el ámbito internacional, Benjamin Netanyahu rechaza el plan de paz para Gaza, insistiendo en el desarme total de Hamás, mientras Rusia intensifica sus ataques contra el sistema energético de Ucrania, especialmente en Odesa. Finalmente, genera ...

Un eclipse solar total llega este miércoles a España, movilizando a 34.000 agentes de seguridad y reforzando las urgencias. Se establecen restricciones de aforo y existe preocupación por el riesgo de incendios en la franja de totalidad. La crisis migratoria en Ceuta persiste, con miles de subsaharianos y jóvenes marroquíes en las calles. La población ceutí exige soluciones y critica la inacción del gobierno de Pedro Sánchez, evidenciando la desprotección de la frontera sur europea, agravada por la tensión con Italia. En el ámbito internacional, Israel rechaza el plan de paz de Trump para Gaza, exigiendo el desarme de Hamás. La guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania se intensifica, afectando la seguridad alimentaria, mientras Irán eleva la tensión en Oriente Medio con condiciones para reabrir Ormuz. España enfrenta una grave ola de incendios forestales en Segovia, Castellón y Huelva, con 8000 hectáreas calcinadas en Niebla, donde las altas temperaturas y los vientos complican la extinción. ...

España enfrenta una grave ola de incendios, con 200.000 hectáreas quemadas en 40 grandes fuegos, seis veces más que el año pasado. Los focos más preocupantes se localizan en Segovia, Castellón y Huelva, con evacuaciones y desalojos. Ceuta vive una crisis migratoria con 1.500 personas en chabolas y un centro desbordado, lo que genera protestas ciudadanas que exigen garantías. La tensión en Oriente Medio se mantiene alta. Netanyahu rechaza el plan de paz para Gaza y exige el desarme de Hamás. Irán impone condiciones para reabrir el estrecho de Ormuz, elevando el precio del petróleo, y los hutíes atacan en Yemen. Francia prohíbe el acceso a redes sociales a menores de 15 años desde el 1 de septiembre para protegerlos de riesgos digitales. El debate se centra en la adicción, la salud mental y la necesidad de legislar, mientras otros países como España estudian elevar la edad mínima. Además, escuelas como "Nase Maybudni" en Madrid ayudan a niños ucranianos a mantener su idioma y cultura. ...

I was stuck in the lab.M: You missed a really good game.Our school team played very well. (Text 2)W: Did you hear the weather forecast for tomorrow? Is it going to be windy?M: No, there will be clouds in the morning, and heavy showers in the afternoon and the evening. (Text 3)M: Hey, let's go for a picnic somewhere this weekend.W: Good idea. Can Jack go with us? He's tired of taking exams these past two weeks.M: I don't think so. He's going on a trip this weekend with his school. (Text 4)M: Hello, is this Emma? This is Robert Gellen from Johnson's Electronics.W: Hello, Robert, what can I do for you?M: It's this visit by Mr.Johnson. I'm afraid he's had an emergency and won't be able to make it this time. (Text 5)M: Did you wait long?W: No, just two minutes. How was the flight?M: It was fine, thanks. I slept through the whole flight actually and I feel much better. (Text 6)M: I'm starving. What are we having for dinner tonight, Jane?W: I'm not sure. Something will come to mind once I start.M: I feel like eating French Fries or maybe a ham sandwich. How about you?W: Actually, I was thinking of making something healthy, say ... fish and vegetables.M: Well, in that case, I'll have whatever you make.(Text 7)W: Hello, George, I heard that you're going to Milan for a business trip next week.M: Yes, Susan, I'm also planning a trip to Rome for sightseeing after that.W: Oh, I'm just back from Rome.The city has made some new rules.M: Really? What rules?W: For example, people who dress up as Roman soldiers in charge of photos won't be allowed near tourist spots,and street performers can't sing or play their music on public transport.Another rule bans tourists from eating in public places.M: That's good. Eating in public is inappropriate and could lead to littering.W: Rome isn't the only city to do that. Last year, Florence made a rule saying that tourists would face fines of up to 500 euros if caught eating in the street.M: Wow, that's big money, but it's understandable. (Text 8)W: Hi, Frank. I heard you plan to withdraw from the speech class. Can you tell me why?M: Well, Ms. McDaniel, I don't think I can make it. Public speaking scares me. I just can't get in front of a group and talk. W: What is it that you fear about speaking in front of a group?M: I am afraid I would look silly if I forget a word or say something stupid or if I shake or turn red.W: What would happen if you did run into one of these things?M: People would laugh at me.W: Well, Frank, your fear is really not based on facts. I once asked my students what they would do if someone in class forgot a word or made a mistake. They said they would feel bad for the speaker for they knew they would be in the speaker's shoes some day.Does that make you feel better?M: Yeah, I guess.W: I hope you'll stay in the class, and try a bit more.M: Okay. Thanks, Ms. McDaniel.(Text 9)M: How many applications did we get, Mary?W: Well, overall we got over 200.M: Wow, that many!W: Yes, but most of which we can reject right away, people who don't have the right experience, qualifications,that kind of thing.M: Of course. W: And so, I drew up a short list of 12 candidates.M: Are we going to interview all of them?W: I think we should. But certainly, I'll let you have a look first.M: Great, so, who will we get then?W: Well, I think we have got some pretty strong candidates. Two in particular.M: They have the right kind of qualification? W: I certainly say so. A strong educational background, experience in sales, language skills ...M: Good. Look forward to meeting all of them.W: So, I'd say we do a set interview for that.M: Sure.W: A few general questions, then onto specifics. We could also ask them to give a short presentation.M: Great. I'm really looking forward to this.(Text 10)W: Welcome back, everyone. This is CB8 News Radio. Here comes something interesting. Yesterday, a teenage girl named Terra Gallo, Cumberland, got some unexpected news when she received a handwritten letter from a fisherman saying that her message in a bottle had been found in Spain. Gallo and her sister put messages into bottles and threw them into the ocean while visiting their aunt on Monhegan Island three years ago. The girls had forgotten about the bottles until they were surprised by the fisherman's letter. Gallo, now 14, studied the maps and discovered her message traveled about 3,000 miles. Gallo's message asked that whoever got her bottle should put their own message inside with hers and send it back out to sea. The fisherman said in his letter that he had carried out her wishes.

Owen Benjamin interview!

What happens when submission to God quietly becomes submission to a leader? When questioning your pastor starts getting treated like questioning God?Those are the questions we're exploring as we review John Bevere's "Under Cover," one of the most widely read books on spiritual authority in the modern charismatic Church. We're holding up the book's conclusions against Hebrews 13, Romans 13, and what Jesus himself said about leaders exercising authority over believers. Does "Under Cover" hold up? Or does it hand pastors an authority the New Testament never actually gives them?To be clear, we're not arguing against leadership or real spiritual authority rightly stewarded. We're asking where the line sits between genuine biblical submission and spiritual abuse dressed up in biblical language. For a lot of people in the body of Christ right now, that line has gotten blurry, and it's cost them.0:00 – Introduction9:57 – Romans 13 and Submission28:03 – Spheres of Delegated Authority41:40 – James and Jerusalem Council59:48 – Submission Versus Obedience1:18:59 – "Not Being Fed" Excuse1:31:52 – Discerning Leaders' Decisions1:39:38 – Exposing Versus Concealing Sin1:48:28 – Korah's Rebellion Explained1:55:52 – Ham, Noah, Cover-Up Culture2:02:33 – Miriam, Aaron, Judgment2:20:45 – Closing Thoughts and ResourcesJoin Joshua Lewis, Michael Miller & Michael Rowntree for RemCon "Prophecy & Hearing God's Voice" October 1-3 | Houston, TXLearn more & register: https://www.theremnantradio.com/remnant-fall-conference-2026 Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

Migrācijas krīze Spānijai piederošajā Seutas anklāvā Āfrikas ziemeļos. Masu protesti Pakistānas kontrolētajā Kašmiras daļā. Donalds Tramps paziņojis, ka panākta vienošanās par teroristu grupējuma "Hamās" pilnīgu atbruņošanos Gazas joslā. Izraēla bažīga par šādu paziņojumu. Aktualitātes analizē laikraksta "Diena" komentētājs Andis Sedlenieks un Latvijas Radio Ziņu dienesta vadītājs, Latvijas Ārpolitikas institūta pētnieks Uģis Lībietis. Pakistānas Kašmiras asiņainā vasara Drīz būs apritējuši divi mēneši, kopš Pakistānas kontrolēto Kašmiras daļu satricina masu protesti ar vardarbīgām sadursmēm starp protestētājiem un valdības spēkiem. Pašreizējo notikumu vēsturiskās saknes sniedzas 80 gadus senā pagātnē, kad beidza pastāvēt Britu Indijas koloniālie valdījumi, un to vietā radās divas neatkarīgas valstis – Indija un Pakistāna. To robežas noteica pirmām kārtām reliģiskā piederība, Indijā dominējot hinduismam, savukārt Pakistānā – islāmam. Autonomā Džammu un Kašmiras radžas valsts toreizējās Britu Indijas ziemeļos bija reliģiski jaukta teritorija, kuras valdītājs mēģināja izveidot neatkarīgu valsti. Šis projekts neguva vietējo iedzīvotāju atsaucību, sākās sacelšanās, notika Pakistānas un Indijas spēku intervence, un šīs karadarbības rezultātā Džammu un Kašmira izrādījās sadalīta starp Indiju un Pakistānu. ANO rezolūcija nosaka, ka būtu rīkojams referendums par teritorijas nākotni, taču līdz šim tāds nav sarīkots un diezin vai arī notiks. Pašreizējie nemieri aptver daļu no Pakistānas kontrolētās Kašmiras – tā dēvēto Brīvo Džammu un Kašmiru, autonomu teritoriju kādreizējās radžas valsts dienvidrietumos; faktiski – šauru robežjoslu starp Indijas kontrolēto daļu un Pakistānas pamatteritoriju. Jau praktiski kopš šīs administratīvās vienības izveides pagājušā gadsimta vidū teritorijas iedzīvotāji nav bijuši mierā ar to, kā šo tālo valsts nomali pārvalda centrālā vara Islamabadā. Pašreizējo domstarpību galvenais cēlonis ir autonomijas likumdevēju sapulces ievēlēšanas kārtība. Divpadsmit no 45 deputātu vietām tajā rezervētas deputātiem, kurus ievēl nevis vietējie iedzīvotāji, bet Džammu un Kašmiras bēgļi, kuri pametuši Indijas kontrolēto daļu un apmetušies dažādās Pakistānas vietās. 2023. gadā dibinātā sabiedriskā kustība Džammu-Kašmiras Apvienotā sabiedriskā rīcības komiteja pieprasa šo sistēmu likvidēt kā manipulatīvu un vēlētāju gribu kropļojošu. 5. jūnijā komiteja tika pasludināta par teroristisku organizāciju, kuru atbalsta Indija, un aizliegta. Vairāki tās līderi arestēti, par citu uzrādīšanu izsludināta paliela naudas prēmija. Pāris dienas vēlāk tiesa atzina bēgļu kvotu sistēmu par atbilstošu Pakistānas konstitūcijai un, attiecīgi, saglabājamu jūlijā paredzētajās vēlēšanās. Autonomijā sākās masu protesti, kas drīz vien pārauga sadursmēs ar policijas spēkiem, kuru rezultātā, kā lēš, šobrīd dzīvību zaudējuši vismaz četrdesmit cilvēki. Notiek streiki, tiek bloķētas transporta maģistrāles, kas ietekmē teritorijas ekonomisko un sociālo dzīvi. Vēlēšanas tika sadalītas trīs posmos, no kuriem divi – 27. jūlijā un 2. augustā – jau notikuši, trešais plānots 10. augustā. Sekojot sabiedriskās rīcības komitejas aicinājumam, daudzi vēlētāji boikotē vēlēšanas, attiecīgi ievēlēto mandātu leģitimitāte var būt apšaubāma. Migranti atkal nāk! Jūlija beigās Spānijai piederošajā Ziemeļāfrikas pilsētā Seutā izveidojās viena no lielākajām migrācijas krīzēm Eiropas Savienībā pēdējo gadu laikā. Dažās dienās robežu no Marokas šķērsoja desmitiem tūkstošu cilvēku, lielākoties jauni marokāņi, kuri centās nokļūt Eiropas Savienības teritorijā. Migranti robežu šķērsoja pa sauszemi, pārvarot robežas infrastruktūru, vai peldus gar piekrastes aizsargbarjerām. Spānijas iestādes ziņo, ka šobrīd lielākā daļa šo cilvēku jau ir atgriezušies Marokā, tomēr vairāki tūkstoši joprojām uzturas Seutā, radot nopietnu slogu pilsētas uzņemšanas un sociālās palīdzības sistēmām. Seuta kopā ar Melilju ir Spānijai piederošās teritorijas Ziemeļāfrikā, kur atrodas vienīgā Eiropas Savienības sauszemes robeža ar kādu Āfrikas valsti. Spānija ieguva šos atbalsta punktus otrpus Vidusjūrai 16. gadsimtā, taču Maroka, kopš no Francijas un Spānijas dubutprotektorāta 1956. gadā kļuva par neatkarīgu valsti, uzskata to par savu suverēno teritoriju. Nu jau gadiem Seuta un Melilja ir viens no galvenajiem nelegālās migrācijas maršrutiem uz Eiropu. Pēdējā masveida robežas šķērsošana notika 2021. gada maijā, pēc tam, kad Maroka atviegloja robežkontroli. Šī Marokas puses rīcība sakrita ar diplomātisko strīdu ar Spāniju, kad pēdējā atļāva iebraukt Rietumsahāras neatkarības kustības „Polisario Fronte” līderim Brahimam Gali, lai ārstētos pret Covid-19. Rietumsahāra arī ir bijušais Spānijas koloniālais valdījums, kura lielāko daļu šobrīd kontrolē Maroka, taču teritorijas starptautiskais statuss paliek nedefinēts. Šoreiz masveida cilvēku kustību, pēc Spānijas amatpersonu un mediju vēstītā, veicināja sociālajos tīklos izplatīta maldinoša informācija, ka robeža ir atvērta un migrantiem būs viegli iegūt uzturēšanās tiesības Spānijā. Varasiestādes uzsver, ka šīs ziņas neatbilst patiesībai. Izskanējuši pieņēmumi, ka robežkontroles vājināšanos no Marokas puses arī šoreiz ietekmējis saspīlējums abu valstu attiecībās. Krīzes laikā vairāki cilvēki gājuši bojā, cenšoties sasniegt Seutu pa jūru vai šķērsojot robežbarjeras. Spānija pastiprinājusi drošības pasākumus un sadarbojas ar Maroku, lai novērstu jaunus masveida robežas šķērsošanas mēģinājumus. Vienlaikus Eiropas Savienībā atsākusies diskusija par ārējo robežu aizsardzību, migrācijas politiku un dalībvalstu savstarpējo solidaritāti. Izskanējuši pat aicinājumi ierobežot Šengenas vīzu sistēmas darbību Spānijā. Paredzams, ka tuvākajā laikā jautājums par situāciju Seutā būs viens no svarīgākajiem migrācijas politikas tematiem gan Spānijā, gan citur Eiropas Savienībā. Tramps turpina nest mieru pasaulei Jūlija beigās ASV prezidents Donalds Tramps paziņoja, ka panākta principiāla vienošanās par palestīniešu grupējuma „Hamās” pakāpenisku atbruņošanos Gazas joslā. Pēc Trampa teiktā, vienošanās paredz „Hamās” smagā bruņojuma nodošanu un militārās infrastruktūras likvidēšanu, kam sekotu pakāpeniska Izraēlas karaspēka izvešana no Gazas, starptautiski uzraudzīta drošības mehānisma izveide un teritorijas atjaunošanas darbi. Vienlaikus abas konfliktā iesaistītās puses uzsvērušas, ka vairāki būtiski jautājumi vēl nav atrisināti, tādēļ vienošanās īstenošana pagaidām nav garantēta. „Hamās” amatpersonas apstiprinājušas gatavību apspriest pakāpenisku atbruņošanos, tomēr norādījušas, ka tas būs iespējams tikai tad, ja Izraēla pilnībā ievēros pamiera nosacījumus, pārtrauks militārās operācijas un sāks karaspēka atvilkšanu. Savukārt Izraēlas premjerministrs Benjamins Netanjahu paziņojis, ka Izraēla neatkāpsies no mērķa pilnībā likvidēt „Hamās” militārās spējas un iznīcināt tās pazemes tuneļu infrastruktūru, uzsverot, ka drošības garantijas ir priekšnoteikums jebkādas turpmākas politiskās vienošanās īstenošanai Gazā. Vairākas Tuvo Austrumu valstis, tai skaitā Ēģipte, Katara un Turcija, paudušas cerību, ka vienošanās varētu pavērt ceļu ilgstošākam mieram un Gazas atjaunošanai. Vienlaikus starptautiskie novērotāji uzsver, ka vienošanās panākumi būs atkarīgi no abu pušu spējas ievērot uzņemtās saistības un pārtraukt karadarbību. Situācija pašā Gazas joslā joprojām saglabājas ļoti sarežģīta. Neraugoties uz diplomātiskajiem centieniem, Izraēla turpina triecienus par Gazas teritoriju, un palestīniešu amatpersonas ziņo par jauniem bojāgājušajiem un ievainotajiem. Liela daļa Gazas iedzīvotāju joprojām ir pārvietoti, humānās palīdzības piegādes ir nepietiekamas, joprojām pastāv pārtikas, ūdens un medicīnisko resursu trūkums. Tādēļ, lai gan Trampa paziņojums radījis cerības uz konflikta noregulējumu, reālā situācija Gazā pagaidām liecina, ka ceļš līdz stabilam mieram vēl nebūt nav tik taisns un saulains, kādu to savos izteikumos zīmē Baltā nama saimnieks.

Episode 1672: Safe And Effective

These Are Our People Max Kozak Download Psalm 106,Praise the Lord!Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!2 Who can utter the mighty deeds of the Lord, or declare all his praise?3 Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!4 Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save them,5 that I may look upon the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.6 Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.Mark Twain famously said that history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. That's why I love reading narrative nonfiction. Whether it's Shackleton, or John Adams, there is something uniquely “sticky” about gleaning important lessons other men have learned in the context of hearing their stories. And that's what we'll see the Psalmist setting out to do here, in Psalm 106.Similar to last week, the bulk of this Psalm is another recounting of Israel's history. And the story pretty much picks up where we left off last week. God has demonstrated his mighty power and covenant love by rescuing his people out of Egypt — and now, finally, Israel is about to cross the Red Sea and be on their way to the promised land. But although the story continues, the focus shifts. Psalm 106 has been described as “the dark counterpart to Psalm 105,” because its main focus is on the sin and rebellion of God's people. And we need to see both. Let's pray again, and then we'll jump in.Father, you are a mighty God who shows steadfast love to his covenant people. That was true when you led Israel out of Egypt to the promised land — and it's true now, as you lead us by your Spirit, through your Word. Help us to see and receive what you want to show us this morning in your Word, I pray in Jesus name, amen.1. The Tension: Blessing Belongs to the RighteousBefore we get into the story, we notice that there is a tension introduced in the first few verses that continues throughout this Psalm.After calling Israel to praise the Lord and give him thanks (v.1–2), the Psalmist reminds Israel that blessing belongs to the righteous: “blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times.” (v. 3)He then personally appeals to God's blessing — asking that he would get in on the prosperity, gladness, and glory of God's covenant people (v.5). He says remember me (when you show favor to your people). Help me (when you save them). He wants to be included in their prosperity and the blessings of their inheritance.But if you read ahead, you'll say time out, this makes no sense.First, we'll see later in the Psalm that Israel is in exile when this psalm is written. The “prosperity and gladness” that he wants to get in on is far from Israel's current reality.Second, he's just linked God's blessing to righteousness, but the history that he then goes to great lengths to recount reveals that Israel's track record is the opposite of righteousness. And remember, God's covenant with Israel includes not just blessings for obedience, but also, curses for disobedience (laid out famously in Deuteronomy 28). And as we go through the story we'll see that it's the curses, not the blessings that fit Israel's track record.So that's the elephant in the room — the tension from the start is this: if blessing belongs to the righteous, how can the psalmist identify himself with Israel's wickedness, and yet appeal to God's blessing?2. Israel's Dark Pattern of SinThe story picks up in v.6:“Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.”Now, before we analyze the story, it's important to recognize what he's not doing and what he is doing. First, He is not denouncing or rejecting his heritage. It's clear in verses 4 and 5 that he has tied his identity to God's chosen nation. “Ride or die,” he has linked his fate to that of God's covenant people. At the same time he is not hiding their wickedness. He calls sin, sin, no matter where he sees it. There is no protecting reputations or sugarcoating here.It's also worth noting that he is not “taking on” or “repenting for” his father's sins. There is no “group guilt” going on here. Scripture is clear:“Each will give an account of himself to God.” (Rom 14:12)And yet, he's honest enough to see himself in their story. He does not say “well if it were me in that wilderness, man, I'd do better” — the arrogant attitude that C.S. Lewis calls “chronological snobbery.”Instead, he leads us through a hard, honest look at Israel's history, and a hard honest look at his own heart to identify the dark pattern of sin and rebellion that cuts through every human heart. “Both we and our fathers have sinned.”If last week's history lesson was meant to show us: “wow, this is our God,” this week's history lesson reveals the flip side of the coin: “uff, these are our people.”The Red Sea (vv. 7-12)And we see their first failure at the Red Sea. Israel is on the cusp of leaving Egypt. They are about to walk free after 400 years of slavery. God had absolutely humiliated Pharaoh. Round after round, demonstrating both his power and his covenant love through his Judgement on Egypt, culminating in the death of every firstborn, and making Pharaoh finally relent and let Israel go. So here they are — their Fourth of July moment. And we see rebellion right at the starting line.“Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wondrous works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.” (v. 7)Pharaoh changes his mind, the Israelites see the chariots coming, and they turn on Moses and God saying “did you bring us out here to die?! Didn't we tell you in Egypt to leave us alone?”The Psalmist's first charge begins with “they did not consider God's works” — literally, they gave them no thought — “And forgot the abundance of his love.” Not paying attention, and forgetting, are high-stakes moral offenses, when it comes to our posture towards God. Remembering is a reflection of what we value, and God has given his people provisions for our remembering with many rhythms, disciplines, and reminders to reinforce our attentiveness to Him. Take advantage of them! Meditate on his word daily, tell of his wondrous works to one another, teach them to your children!But instead, Israel's forgetting here reveals their disregard for God and it results in rebellion. Yet God still intervened: He split the sea, destroyed the Egyptian army, and brought them out of Egypt. And for a brief moment, “they believed his word and sang his praise” (v.12). And they lived happily ever after … right?No, instead, we see the fickleness of their trust immediately in the next verse.Wilderness Cravings (vv. 13-15)“But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel. 14 But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert; 15 he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them.” (v. 13)Instead of delighting in the Lord who just saved them, they forget again, and their hearts are corrupted by disordered desires.They had “wanton cravings” for food — literally translates “they crave-craved” food — to the point of putting God to the test: trying to manipulate God into proving himself to them on their terms.There is nothing wrong with their desire for meat, nor with asking God to provide good things we crave. But when you combine forgetting God and disordered desires, our cravings become deadly. Yet God gives them the meat they wanted, and his anger came with it in a wasting disease, where many people died, giving that place the name “graves of craving.”The Coup Against Moses (vv. 16-18)We'll skip over verses 16-18, but basically a group of prominent men, driven by jealousy rises up against Moses in a coup … God intervenes … the ground opens and swallows the leaders alive … and fire from heaven consumes the rest.The Golden Calf (vv. 19-23)Then comes the infamous golden calf episode. Verse 19:“They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a metal image. 20 They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass. 21 They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt, 22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea. 23 Therefore he said he would destroy them—had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them.”Israel forgets again, and this time the whole nation rebels in idolatry. Instead of worshipping God, their savior, they chose to worship pretty much the most pathetic thing they could find. An ox, (that's a male cow) that eats grass. It was pathetic, but more importantly, it was deeply wicked, and a betrayal of their God. And we see its seriousness in verse 23:“Therefore he said he would destroy them—had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them.”After everything from Abraham to Moses, God was ready to wipe them out and start over with Moses. That's the gravity of the situation. And there's no doubt that they deserved destruction, on the spot — ground opening up, or fire coming down. But Moses stands in the breach — a military image: when a wall has been breached, the city's about to get sacked except for a champion who steps into the gap, inserting himself to rescue the people.So what's going on here? Is Moses opposing God? Was God overreacting? Not at all. God is displaying here both the gravity of their sin, while also laying the groundwork for what it will ultimately take to deal with it. God wants Israel to know that the only thing that kept them from experiencing the just wrath of God was God's chosen one interceding on their behalf. And because of Moses' intercession, the flood of God's wrath is held back, at least for now, and without any delusions about what their sin deserves.The Spies Refuse the Promise (vv. 24–27)Then, on the very edge of the promised land, twelve spies are sent to scout it out. Ten of them give a cowardly report that ignites fear in the nation: “giants, fortified cities, no chance.” And Israel, again, ignores God's promise.“They despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise” (v.24).The result: an entire generation dies in the wilderness, without entering the promised land.Phinehas' Intercession (vv. 28–31)Fast forward to verse 28. Israel is now in Moab, right on the doorstep of the land, and they rebel again. This time they join themselves to the Moabites by worshiping their pagan idols and committing sexual immorality with them. So God's anger breaks out in a deadly plague against his people.And here in the midst of this plague, someone again intercedes — but this time it looks a little different. Phinehas (Aaron's grandson) sees a blatant demonstration of rebellion happening openly between a leading Israelite man and a prominent Moabite woman, so he grabs his spear, and executes judgment on both: with one thrust, deals with sin on the spot. And as the text says:“he intervened, and the plague was stayed, and that was counted to him as righteousness from generation to generation forever” (v.30–31).“Intervened” is an interesting choice of word. It's that intercession language again. Moses turned away God's wrath through intercessory pleading. Phinehas turns away God's wrath through intercessory action, executing justice for sin on the spot. Both are described as acts of intercession that hold back the flood of God's judgement against Israel, for now.And there's an important application for us here: Confront sin in your life head-on. Do not coddle sin, or it will destroy you. That requires calling sin what it is, and not concealing it. Phinehas confronted sin out of his righteous Zeal for the Lord and out of his love for his people. So confront sin starting with your own heart, and then commit to helping one another confront sin in Life Groups. The stakes are too high for a Minnesota-Nice coddling of sin. Sin dishonors God and when left unchecked will destroy you! Help each other root it out, in love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend.Defiling the Land (vv. 34–40)Fast forward to verse 34. Israel is finally in the promised land. You'd think, after everything they've been through, they would have learned. Instead, once they're finally in the land, they again, immediately disregard what God commands. God had told them to destroy the Canaanites, but instead…“They did not destroy the peoples, as the Lord commanded them, 35 but they mixed with the nations and learned to do as they did. 36 They served their idols, which became a snare to them. 37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons; 38 they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood. 39 Thus they became unclean by their acts, and played the whore in their deeds. 40 Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his heritage;”Instead of obeying God and executing righteous judgement (like Phinehas) to remove the evil from the land, they became just like them. They served their gods, and polluted the land with the blood of their own sons and daughters whom they sacrificed to demons!These are dark, dark verses. It should make us sick to our stomach. And it's an important reminder of the trajectory of sin. It is never satisfied staying where it is. It always drags you further and further into darkness, long before you see it's true ugliness.What's our view of sin? Does it make us sick? There's an ever-present danger of minimizing sin and there are many reasons for this. For one, the world around us celebrates it, and it's easy to grow accustomed to it. But also, because we've never seen the full extent of it's depravity. Don't get me wrong, we've seen enough. But, throughout all of history, in countless ways, God always restrains sin from its full expression. Whatever wickedness you have seen (both in your own heart, and in the world around you), is just the tip of the iceberg. Don't underestimate it. And this Psalm helps us not to underestimate it. They sacrificed their own children to demons! Sin is infinitely offensive to God, and it will keep dragging you further and further into it's bottomless pit.So here they are, the ugliness of their hearts on full display. And God can't stand it. He abhors them. He says “Get Out.” Right back into the hand of the nations to be ruled by those who hate them (v.41).Verse 6 opened things up with “Both we and our fathers have sinned” and verse 43 bookends it with his summary:“Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their purposes and were brought low through their iniquity.”Or as the NIV puts it, “they were bent on rebellion.”This wasn't occasional, nor was it circumstantial. Bent. It's who they are and, if we're honest, it's who we are as well. This isn't just Israel's reality, or a uniquely wicked generation. It's the condition of the human heart. From Adam to us, history rhymes in a dark pattern of sin and rebellion against God.“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Rom 3:23)And it brings us back to our original tension: if blessing belongs to the righteous, how can the psalmist (and how can we) who identify with Israel's wickedness, appeal to God's blessing?Well, Psalm 106 doesn't fully resolve that tension. In a way, it is a true cliff-hanger. The main melody of Psalm 106 is Israel's dark pattern of rebellion and the psalm ends with Israel in exile. But even so, there is a powerful countermelody of God's mercy throughout this psalm, most clearly in verse 44 right after their rock bottom moment.3. God's Countermelody of Mercy“Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress, when he heard their cry. 45 For their sake he remembered his covenant, and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love. 46 He caused them to be pitied by all those who held them captive.”Unlike Israel, who forgets God's covenant at every turn, God never forgets his covenant. The great miracle of Psalm 106 is God's unwavering commitment to his people despite their sin. Time after time he preserves Israel when they deserve to be swept away in his righteous judgment. In every example we've walked through, anything short of Israel's utter destruction is an example of God's countermelody of mercy — his covenant love inserting itself between Israel's guilt and the judgement they deserve.But how? On what basis does “nevertheless” get to happen? God is no less just here than he was when he wiped out Korah's rebellion. So what holds the flood back?Our psalm has already alluded to it twice, both times incomplete. Moses stood in the breach — interceding through pleading, but absorbing nothing himself. Phinehas interceded through judgment — dealing with sin decisively, but only for one sin, not to mention that they were destroyed in the process. These examples highlight two halves of the same tension. What we need is someone to do both. Someone who will stand in the breach in our place, and satisfy God's justice on our behalf.The tension of Psalm 106 and it's hints of intercession both point forward in time to Christ's intercession on the cross once and for all. Romans 3:23-26 reminds us plainly: “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.”Jesus is God's answer to the tension. The Son of God became a man, lived the righteous life we couldn't, and stepped into the breach for us receiving the full judgement for our sins on the cross. He accomplished what Moses and Phinehas pointed to. He satisfied the judgment that our sin demanded, and displayed God's covenant mercy for all who trust in him. He takes the judgement for our sins, and we inherit the blessings of his righteousness. Intercession, completed.This is what makes the psalmist's plea in verse 47 possible.“Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.”He trusted that God in his mercy and justice would make a way to gather his people for worship and thanksgiving despite their track record. And it's why he can appeal to God's blessing despite his own sinfulness. Every “nevertheless” in Israel's history was borrowed against the cross. Every time God held back the flood, he was holding it back until it could finally, fully fall on his Son, in our place. That was true for Israel, and it's true for us. These are our people, and this is our God!And that brings us to the table.The TableThe table reminds us of where God's mercy and justice meet. No longer in tension, not in some uneasy compromise, but both fully satisfied at the cross.That's what this bread and this cup remind us of. His body, broken for us. His blood poured out for us. Christ took our sins upon himself, and we receive the blessings of His righteousness. We don't come to this table because our track record is any better than Israel's, we come because Christ stood where we should have stood, and declared “It is Finished.”As we celebrate the Lord's table together, this meal is a meal for the members of Cities Church, but if you have trusted in Jesus we invite you to eat with us.If you have not trusted in Jesus, we ask that you let the bread and the cup pass, but let this psalm be your invitation. As Tim Keller notes, you are more sinful than you know, and more loved than you imagine. Trust in Jesus today.

Episode 1671: Dr. Death

Episode 1670: Super Felony Bros

You're killing me, Smalls. This week on a Be Kind Rewind, Dave, Cody, & Paul Walcher head back to the summer of 1962 for The Sandlot (1993), a movie that flopped with critics and became a multigenerational classic anyway. We get into what holds up (the Ray Charles fireworks scene, Ham roasting an entire lineup of batters, the ensemble of kid actors who genuinely became friends), what doesn't (the pool scene, and yes we talk about it honestly), and the behind-the-scenes stuff you might not know.Plus: a genuine three-way argument about whether Denis Leary is the winner or the loser of this movie, a full Muppetize (Cody casts the entire film), a Pastor's Corner on inclusion for inclusion's sake and the monsters we build in our own heads, and where the cast actually ended up. Bonus: it's Dave's birthday, we ask what posters you had on your wall as a kid, and a brutal round of the Movie Game.

Raised without a dad. Now raising your own. Every fatherless man asks the same question: how do I give what I never got?Here's where this episode lands: you have a Father. And He never left.In this episode of the Kavod Man of God Podcast, Casey Wilson, Justin Bohner, and Travis Shook take on the biggest epidemic in our land: fatherlessness. And this is not theory for the men in this room. Justin was adopted. Travis was adopted by his stepdad at eleven. Casey's house is full of children who came through adoption. Every man carries a father wound. The question is what you do with it.Inside this conversation:- Why every son carries a father wound, and why even the best earthly dads leave one- The trap of wallowing: how the wound becomes an identity that keeps you a victim- Ham or Shem: the choice every son makes between living under his father's failure and covering it- "My father and my mother have forsaken me, but the LORD will take me in" (Psalm 27:10)- Why fathering is wired into you by design, and what actually corrupts it- Return, remove, set, serve: the 1 Samuel 7 path back to the Father- How to honor a father who failed you without excusing what he did- Why you can be a great dad even if you never get to reconcileYou are not disqualified by the dad you didn't have. You have access to the Father, by the Spirit, to become like the Son. That is the whole point."Father of the fatherless... is God in his holy habitation." Psalm 68:5What you put on display for your children is your walk with God. That is what they need to see most.

Can Green Eggs and Ham really be read as an ancient temple text? Dr. John Lundwall takes on that challenge—using the very same interpretive methods often employed by LDS apologists to argue for ancient origins in the Book of Mormon. By intentionally applying those techniques to Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham, Dr. Lundwall demonstrates how flexible assumptions, selective parallels, and creative pattern-finding can make almost any text appear to support an ancient religious narrative. This episode isn't an argument that Green Eggs and Ham is actually ancient. Instead, it's a thought-provoking exploration of methodology: How do we distinguish between genuine evidence and imaginative interpretation? Where is the line between scholarship and apologetics? Join us for a fascinating—and surprisingly funny—conversation that challenges listeners to think critically about the arguments used to defend ancient scripture claims.

One of the dumbest popular narratives you see today is the idea that Zionists persuaded a reluctant Trump to start a war with Iran after he was re-elected, like they were chasing him around going "Would you like to bomb Iran?" like the guy from Green Eggs and Ham while he yelled "Not in a box! Not with a fox!" until he eventually caved in. Reading by Tim Foley.

In this episode, Pastor Dale Partridge tackles one of the most controversial doctrines in Christian history: the Curse of Ham. Dale examines how this passage has been historically interpreted and offers a Christian framework for understanding race.

David Epstein is a science journalist and author. Is discipline really freedom? When we feel overwhelmed, it can seem like the problem is that we have no freedom. But maybe the opposite is true: maybe we have too much freedom, too many options, and too little structure. So why can setting constraints become a superpower? And when you're overwhelmed, why might choosing limits actually make you feel more free? Expect to learn what the Green Eggs and Ham effect is, why having constraints is so unsexy, how setting limits powers learning, the real meaning of “The Road Not Taken”, why it is important to decide what not to do, how to tell if you have too much freedom or too many constraints, and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: ⁠⁠https://chriswillx.com/deals⁠⁠ Get 35% off your first subscription on the best supplements from Momentous at https://livemomentous.com/modernwisdom Get 10% discount on all Gymshark products at https://gym.sh/modernwisdom (use code MODERNWISDOM10) Get a free bottle of D3K2, an AG1 Welcome Kit, and more when you first subscribe at https://ag1.info/modernwisdom Get 15% off your first order of my favourite Non-Alcoholic Brew at https://athleticbrewing.com/modernwisdom Get ChatGPT to explore ideas, solve problems, and learn faster at ⁠https://chatgpt.com Timestamps: (00:00) How Dr. Seuss Changed Children's Books Forever (03:30) Why We Avoid Constraints (and Why That's a Mistake) (11:37) Why Is Choice So Overwhelming?

In this interview segment, investigative journalist Christian Parenti tells Jimmy that modern U.S. policy toward Cuba is driven less by opposition to socialism and more by Cuba's continued sovereignty and symbolic resistance to American influence, despite decades of economic liberalization. He discusses how Cuba has increasingly embraced private enterprise while U.S. sanctions and embargoes continue to intensify, limiting investment and contributing to severe economic hardship.  The conversation also explores Cuba's historical conflicts with the CIA, including intelligence operations, the Bay of Pigs, and Cold War-era tensions, as factors shaping current U.S. policy. The interview concludes with a discussion of whether normalized relations are possible, the risks of escalating conflict, and broader questions about U.S. foreign policy and intelligence operations. Plus segments on Tucker Carlson going HAM on the COVID vaccine and actress Mayim Bialik's crashout after seeing a pro-Palestinian t-shirt. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano!
