Cast Out the Slave-girl and her Son Galatians 4:12-5:1 by William Klock I have a non-Christian—or it would be better to say, anti-Christian—relative who, I've observed, is very uncomfortable with me being a preacher. At one point she just came out and said it: As far as she's concerned, preachers are just moralising, kill-joy demagogues who glory in lording their authority over people and pontificating to them what they can and cannot do. People like this think of God as a kill-joy in the sky and the preacher as his sour and spiteful earthly representative. She has no clue that the preacher is the intermediary between the loving God who has given his word to make himself known and his people, filled with his Spirit, who desire to hear his word that they might know him and love him in return. They have no idea that both the Bible and preaching sit at the intersection of God's love for his people and his people's love for him. But it's not just non-Christians. Even people in the church forget that God speaks—and he tells us what he expects of us—out of love and they forget that the preacher preaches that word out of love, too. And so they get angry when they hear things they don't like. Sometimes they get angry with God and leave the church entirely. Sometimes they just shoot the messenger—the preacher. And that's where Paul is at as we come to the middle of Galatians 4. Paul knew the people in the Galatian churches well. He loved them as brothers and sisters in the Lord. And he's deeply troubled by what he's heard has been going on there ever since these agitators had arrived. This is why he's writing to them. And so far he's mostly been talking theology—explaining why these people urging them back into torah are undermining the gospel, the good news about Jesus. And he's been building this argument as he's walked them through the biblical story, walked them through God's covenants with his people, walked them through the significance of what Jesus did when he died and rose again. And he's about to finally make the point he's been working toward. He's about to tell them what they need to do in light of all this. But in verses 11-20 he pauses and he takes a breath and he reminds them who he is. He reminds that he's not only their friend, but that he's their brother in the Lord who loves them—and that that's why he's taking the trouble to say all of this. Look at Chapter 4, beginning at verse 12. Brothers [and Sisters], become like me! Because I became like you. You did me no wrong. No, you know that it was through bodily weakness that I announced the gospel to you in the first place. You didn't despise or scorn me, even though my condition was quite a test for you, but you welcomed me as if I were God's angel, as if I were Messiah Jesus! What's happened to the blessing you had then? Yes, I can testify that you would have torn out your eyes, if you'd been able to, and given them to me. So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? Become like me, because I became like you. These Christians were mostly gentiles. Paul was a Jew. But as he would later write to the Corinthians, he has become like all things to everyone. Knowing that the gospel unified them as one in Jesus and the Spirit, Paul came and fellowshipped with them—he prayed and sang and worshipped and ate with them, despite their ethnic differences—which is something that can't be said of these false teachers. And Paul reminds them of when he first arrived. We don't know exactly what the problem was, but it sounds very much like he arrived in Galatia bloody and beaten after preaching the good news in some neighbouring city. This might be what he was referring to when he said the brutality of the cross had been shown to them. He'd stumbled into their fellowship having very nearly shared Jesus' crucifixion—and they welcomed him. That would have been a dangerous thing to do. Harbouring a man who had been in trouble another town over could have brought the local authorities down on them. It sure wouldn't have looked good to the community around them. But they welcomed Paul and took care of him as he regained his strength. In the meantime, he proclaimed Jesus and the good news in his weakness. And they received Paul and his message as if he were an angel, a messenger from God—practically as if he'd been Jesus himself. “So now,” Paul asks, “what's happened to that welcome? Back then you knew my love for you and you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me if you'd thought it would help. But now I've told you the truth—because I love you—and you're treating me like an enemy.” Now he goes on in verse 17: Those other folks are zealous for you, but it's not in a good cause. False teachers are often full of zeal. Enough so that they con good Christians into thinking that they've got the truth. And then those conned Christians lash out when the pastor who loves them comes along to show them how the false teachers are wrong. It happens over and over and over. Paul says: They want to shut you out, so that you will then be zealous for them. Paul has the temple in mind, with its segregated courts. Jews could go into the temple court, but gentiles were stuck outside. They couldn't go in. And these agitators, these false teachers are trying to make the Galatian churches like that. The Jewish believers can come into church, they can eat at the Lord's Table, but the gentiles are stuck outside until they get circumcised and start living according to torah. So Paul says, Well, it's always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I'm there with you. My children, I seem to be in labour with you all over again, until the Messiah is fully formed in you. I wish I were there with you right now, and could change me tone of voice. I really am at a loss about you. Paul knew all about being zealous. He'd been zealous for torah and he'd been zealous for persecuting Christians. And then he'd met the risen Jesus and now he's zealous for the gospel. Zeal isn't the point. You can be zealous for anything. So don't be taken in by the zealousness of false teachers and a false gospel. And we get a sense of how Paul loves these people and, because of that, how he's so exasperated. He thought they knew all of this. He'd laboured over the gospel with them before, but now it feels like he's got to labour with them over the gospel all over again, because it's obvious they weren't as mature in the gospel—in the Messiah—as he had thought. It happens. Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses knock on the door and they've got carefully worked out arguments that fool far too many Christians. Prosperity hucksters will tell you they've got the “full gospel” and they'll back it up with great zeal. In our own day we've got various Messianic groups or the Adventists with a false gospel rooted in the same errors Paul confronted in Galatia. They dupe Christians into their false teaching and, apart from praying for such people, all we can really do is confront false teaching with gospel truth. That's what Paul does here. Look at verse 21: So you want to live under the law, do you? All right, tell me this: are you prepared to hear what the law says? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave-girl and one by the free woman. Now the child of the slave-girl was born according to the flesh, while the child of the free woman was born according to promise. Do you recognise the story Paul's talking about? He's going back to Genesis 16. This is after God's promise to Abraham, but before the birth of Isaac. Abraham and Sarah trusted the Lord. They believed he would provide a son to inherit the promise, but from their perspective a natural heir was impossible. Sarah was an elderly woman and elderly women past their child-bearing years don't bear children. So they followed the custom of the day. Abraham took Sarah's slave-girl, Hagar, as his concubine and had a child by her. Because she was Sarah's slave, the child was legally hers. But, if you know the story, you know the plan backfired. When Hagar became pregnant, she lorded it over Sarah. In their culture, for a woman to be barren was a great shame and Hagar made sure that Sarah felt that shame. Sarah, of course, wasn't going to stand for that, so she mistreated Hagar. Hagar ran away, but in the wilderness the Lord met her and sent her back and she gave birth to Ishmael. Years later—as if the Lord was really, really wanting to make a point to Abraham and Sarah that with him anything was possible—years later, when Sarah was even more elderly, she became pregnant and gave birth to Isaac. Sarah became jealous of Ishmael and we have a cryptic text about Ishmael abusing Isaac, so Sarah banished Hagar and her son from the camp. Ishmael would become the father of the Arabian tribes and Isaac would became the father of Jacob, who became the father of the Hebrew tribes—of Israel. It's possible Paul brings this up because the false teachers might have been telling this story in their own way, as if to say, “See…Abraham has two families. You gentiles might have believed the gospel, but since the Jews are the free children of Abraham, you're like Ishmael and his sons. If you want to really be part of Abraham's family, you're going to have to get circumcised and become a Jew. Paul has heard this before and says, “No. You've got it backwards and here's why. Let's suppose that Abraham does have two families. How can you tell which one is the slave family and which one is the free family? Well, look at the story. Ishmael was born according to the flesh. He was the result of Abraham taking matters into his own hands. Isacc, on the other hand, was born miraculously and in fulfilment of the Lord's promise. And now we see why Paul has been talking so much about covenants and inheritances and heirs all this time. This is where he's been going with it. In verse 24 he goes on: Think of this allegorically—as picture-language. These two women stand for two covenants: one comes from Mount Sinai and gives birth to slave children—that's Hagar. (Sinai, you see, is a mountain in Arabia, and it corresponds, in the picture, to the present Jerusalem, since she is in slavery with her children.) But the Jerusalem which is above is free—and she is our mother. All you have to do is follow the theme of promise through the story. Well, that and you have to recognise that the story is ongoing. The false teachers were telling the story as if it stopped with Abraham—or maybe with Moses—but Paul has been showing how the Abraham story, the story of a promise and a family and an inheritance that encompasses the whole world—Paul has been showing how that story is still going on. So they were right to see the promise back in the story of the birth of Isaac, but now Paul's sort of urging them on: Yes, yes. You've got that part right, but keep following the promise through the rest of the story. Because Jesus changes everything. And so, sure, Isaac was the child of God's promise and so were his children and their children and eventually the whole people of Israel. But before his little break to remind them that he's not their enemy, Paul was also pointing out how the law, how torah was only meant to serve the promise family for a time—between Moses and the Messiah. Remember, the human race is sick. Israel had the same sickness, but the law held the sickness at bay until the promise could be fulfilled. Or, Paul used the illustration of a babysitter, keeping the promise family out of trouble until the promise to them could be fulfilled. And, that means, Paul has said, that as much as the law was a good thing given by God for a time, it kept the Israelites as slaves until the Messiah came. So the law, he's saying here, the law if left to itself can never set people free. The law, ironically, makes Ishmael children, not Isaac children. And then Paul adds this sort of parenthetical statement: For Sinai is a mountain in Arabia. And his point is that—using this allegorical or picture language—the law of Moses, which was given on Mount Sinai, now represents the people, the family on the outside in the original picture. As much as the Lord's promise once led his people to Mount Sinai where he gave them his law, the story has moved on in Jesus the Messiah and so Hagar—the mother of Abraham's son according to the flesh—Hagar now corresponds to Mount Sinai and Mount Sinai represents the law, torah, that the false teachers are saying the gentile believers have to keep. So Isaac represents the promise and freedom. Ishmael represents the flesh, slavery…none of which would have been controversial, but now Paul has also shown that Ishmael also represents Mount Sinai and the law. Again, we've got to follow the promise all the way through the story to Jesus and then to the present. The law was part of God's provision for his people during the present evil age, but the Messiah has inaugurated the age to come. So Paul's now ready to bring the false teachers into this. They've been appealing to some authority figures in Jerusalem—maybe James, but we really don't know—just that they're in Jerusalem. And Paul, in verses 25 and 26 is saying, “Okay, but they're talking about the present Jerusalem, not the heavenly Jerusalem, not the “Jerusalem above”, which is the home of all real believers and the true people of the promise. To make his point he quotes Isaiah 54:1 which is addressed to Jerusalem herself: For it is written: Celebrate, childless one, who never gave birth! Go wild and shout, girl that never had pains! The barren woman has many more children Than the one who has a husband! In Isaiah's day, Jerusalem was laid waste, but through the prophet the Lord gave hope to his people. One day Jerusalem would be restored. He put it in terms of a barren woman—like Sarah—finally knowing the joy of bearing children and having a family. By Paul's day this had become an image of the age to come, when the Lord would return to his people and the heavenly city would come with him, heaven and earth would be rejoined, and his new age would dawn. So the Jerusalem above—the promise of God's new age—it was barren, but now through the Messiah it's bearing children. The promises are being fulfilled. In contrast, the present Jerusalem—the city the false teachers are appealing to as their authority—it's got children, yes, but they're in slavery. In fact, the earthly Jerusalem is slated for judgement and destruction. So now Paul goes on in verse 28: Now you, my brothers [and sisters], are children of promise, in the line of Isaac. Follow the promise. It has passed from Isaac to Jesus and now to these people—even though they're gentiles—because they have trusted in the Messiah. Jesus-believers, uncircumcised as they may be, are Sarah-children, new-Jerusalem people, Isaac-people, promise-people. But, Paul goes on: But things now are like they were then. The one who was born according to the flesh persecuted the one born according to the spirit. Genesis doesn't elaborate on what Ishmael did to Isaac, only that he abused him in some way, and Paul's point here is that this is how the children of the flesh are always liable to treat the children of the promise. It sounds as though the unbelieving Jews were actively persecuting the Christians in Galatia—angry at them because they claimed the “Jewish exemption” from pagan worship, but didn't live as Jews. But Paul lumps the false teachers, these people who say they believe in Jesus the Messiah, but also insist on the gentiles being circumcised—Paul lumps that in with the abuse of the unbelieving Jewish community. The false teachers stand in sharp contrast to Paul. Even though Paul has had some sometimes harsh words for the Galatians, he loves them like a father. He's speaking gospel truth. The false teachers, for all their zeal, don't really love the Galatians—not if they're trying to drag them back into slavery under the law. And with that, Paul's ready to drive his point home, he's ready to tell them what they have to do. Look at verse 30: But what does scripture say? “Throw out the slave-girl and her son! For the son of the slave-girl will not inherit with the son of the free.” So my brothers [and sisters], we are not children of the slave-girl, but of the free. Do what Sarah did: cast out the slave girl and her son. In other words, cast out the false teachers before they drag you away from Jesus and the promise and back into slavery. At this point there's a chapter break, but I really think Paul meant for verse 1 of Chapter 5 to be the close of this paragraph, because it's not easy to cast out false teachers. And so Paul continues there: The Messiah set us free so that we could enjoy freedom! So stand firm, and don't get yourselves tied down by the chains of slavery. Stand firm and don't let anyone take you back into slavery with a false gospel, because Brothers and Sisters, Jesus has set us free. Paul doesn't mess around with false teachers. Jesus died and he rose again, he is Lord, and he has fulfilled all of God's promises. Paul saw the promise fulfilled as the gentiles were forgiven, filled with the Spirit, and swept up into this great story of God and his people and he was outraged at the idea that anyone might come along and drag these people back into slavery. In contrast, how often is our tendency to be wishy-washing about false teaching. People come in the name of Jesus, but end up proclaiming false gospels—or things that undermine the gospel. They'll say, for example, that there are other ways to God and other ways to be good and other ways to enter the age to come and in doing that they undermine the work of Jesus and the Spirit no less than the false teaching in Galatia did by trying to add torah to the gospel. Others come into the church and tell us that Jesus isn't enough and that we've got to do something extra to receive the Spirit. Others these days come preaching post-modern ideas of identity that undermine our identity in the Messiah and our unity in him. And we equivocate on what to do about them. Instead of dealing with the false teachers we quibble with each other over whether or not the false teachers are truly believers or not—as if we need to treat them differently if the false teaching isn't so bad as to rule them out as real Christians. Paul does the opposite here. The false teachers in Galatia believed in Jesus. They believed in his death and resurrection. But they added something that ultimately undermined that good news. And so Paul says to cast them out. Get them out of the church. Just as he did with the man sleeping with his step-mother in Corinth. Get them out. Maybe that will get them thinking hard about what they've done or what they're teaching and they'll repent and come back, but that's not the first priority. Get them out, because their teaching undermines the gospel itself and if it's allowed to fester, the church will cease to be the church. The promise will be lost. The false teaching will make us slaves again. If the Anglican Communion had cast out the false teachers a hundred years ago, our generation wouldn't have had to face the difficulties we have. The church can't fool around with false teachers and false gospel. But the flip side of this imperative is that we as Jesus' people need to work hard for unity with our brothers and sisters who do believe the good news about Jesus. This was the vision of Bp. Cummins when he called together the men and women who would found the Reformed Episcopal Church. All baptised and believing Jesus-followers are, in fact, one family and we need to do our best, despite our various differences on other things, to live as the one family that Jesus has made us. I think Galatians has something to say about how we distinguish which of our differences are demand separation and which don't. Does the message being preaching point forward to the age to come, or like the Galatian heresy, does it drag us back to the darkness of the old evil age? If it undermines or undoes what has been accomplished by God in Jesus and the Spirit, we must cast it out. Standing firm against false gospels while standing just as firm for the unity of God's gospel people is no easy task—especially as things are today—but Brothers and Sisters it is our calling. It is what honours God, it is what honours Jesus and the Spirit, and it is what witnesses to the world the new creation that has been born in us. Let's pray: Heavenly Father, make us mature in the Messiah so that we will be able to discern truth from error, and fill us with zeal for your gospel truth, so that we will stand firm—not afraid to cast out false teachers and false teaching, but also zealous for the unity that Jesus and the Spirit bring to your church, that we might be effective witnesses of the good news about Jesus, crucified and risen, and of his kingdom, the new Jerusalem. Through him we pray. Amen.
Hilary teaches on the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, which Jesus gave His disciples, when they asked Him how many times should they forgive someone (Matthew 18:21-35). God, our Master and King, has forgiven us a massive un-payable sin-debt, so we ought to forgive one another. We should always be aware of just how much God has forgiven each one of us through the shed Blood of His Beloved Son, Jesus our Messiah. We should always be aware of just how much it cost God to forgive us. The servant who had been forgiven so much, refused to forgive his fellow servant (v29-30), and as a result his master was angry with him, and delivered him over to the torturers (v32-34).We will be separated from intimate fellowship with our Heavenly Father, if we refuse to forgive others. Jesus suffered and died to pay the price for their forgiveness, as well as for our forgiveness. He paid the price for their sins, as well as for our sins. He was punished in our place, and He released FORGIVENESS from the Cross, including for those who crucified Him, saying: “Father, FORGIVE them” (Luke 23:34). If our Lord forgave even those who tortured Him to death, then as His disciples, we must also forgive those who sin against us. When you forgive them, you are putting them into the Hands of God. You release the judgment to God, because you are refusing to be their judge, and they will now have to answer to God. He is the only Just Judge. If we do persist in judging (condemning) them, then our sin of unforgiveness is now worse than their sin against us, because we are now in pride and rebellion against God's Word, which tells us to: “forgive one another, even as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32). Harbouring unforgiveness puts a barrier between us and our Heavenly Father, hindering our fellowship, and it can result in physical sickness, mental sickness, depression and self-hatred (Matthew 18:35).

The high-albedo, low polarization disk around HD 114082 harbouring a Jupiter-sized transiting planet by N. Engler et al. on Wednesday 30 November We present new optical and near-IR images of debris disk around the F-type star HD 114082. We obtained direct imaging observations and analysed the TESS photometric time series data of this target with a goal to search for planetary companions and to characterise the morphology of the debris disk and the scattering properties of dust particles. HD 114082 was observed with the VLT/SPHERE instrument: the IRDIS camera in the K band together with the IFS in the Y, J and H band using the ADI technique as well as IRDIS in the H band and ZIMPOL in the I_PRIME band using the PDI technique. The scattered light images were fitted with a 3D model for single scattering in an optically thin dust disk. We performed aperture photometry in order to derive the scattering and polarized phase functions, polarization fraction and spectral scattering albedo for the dust particles in the disk. This method was also used to obtain the reflectance spectrum of the disk to retrieve the disk color and study the dust reflectivity in comparison to the debris disk HD 117214. We also performed the modeling of the HD 114082 light curve measured by TESS using the models for planet transit and stellar activity to put constraints on radius of the detected planet and its orbit. The debris disk appears as an axisymmetric debris belt with a radius of ~0.37$"$ (35 au), inclination of ~83$^circ$ and a wide inner cavity. Dust particles in HD 114082 have a maximum polarization fraction of ~17% and a high reflectivity which results in a spectral scattering albedo of 0.65. The analysis of TESS photometric data reveals a transiting planetary companion to HD 114082 with a radius of $sim$1~$rm R_{J}$ on an orbit with a semi-major axis of $0.7 pm 0.4$ au. In the IRDIS K band images, we reach deep sensitivity limits in terms of companion masses, down to ~5$M_{rm Jup}$ at 50 au, and ~11 $M_{rm Jup}$ at 20 au from the central star. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2211.11767v2

Engler et al. on Wednesday 23 November We present new optical and near-IR images of debris disk around the F-type star HD 114082. We obtained direct imaging observations and analysed the TESS photometric time series data of this target with a goal to search for planetary companions and to characterise the morphology of the debris disk and the scattering properties of dust particles. HD 114082 was observed with the VLT/SPHERE instrument: the IRDIS camera in the K band together with the IFS in the Y, J and H band using the ADI technique as well as IRDIS in the H band and ZIMPOL in the I_PRIME band using the PDI technique. The scattered light images were fitted with a 3D model for single scattering in an optically thin dust disk. We performed aperture photometry in order to derive the scattering and polarized phase functions, polarization fraction and spectral scattering albedo for the dust particles in the disk. This method was also used to obtain the reflectance spectrum of the disk to retrieve the disk color and study the dust reflectivity in comparison to the debris disk HD 117214. We also performed the modeling of the HD 114082 light curve measured by TESS using the models for planet transit and stellar activity to put constraints on radius of the detected planet and its orbit. The debris disk appears as an axisymmetric debris belt with a radius of ~0.37$''$ (35 au), inclination of ~83$^circ$ and a wide inner cavity. Dust particles in HD 114082 have a maximum polarization fraction of ~17% and a high reflectivity which results in a spectral scattering albedo of 0.65. The analysis of TESS photometric data reveals a transiting planetary companion to HD 114082 with a radius of $sim$1~$rm R_{J}$ on an orbit with a semi-major axis of $0.7 pm 0.4$ au. In the IRDIS K band images, we reach deep sensitivity limits in terms of companion masses, down to ~5$M_{rm Jup}$ at 50 au, and ~11 $M_{rm Jup}$ at 20 au from the central star. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2211.11767v1

Ralph McAllister reviews Harbouring by Jenny Pattrick, published by Penguin
Harbouring regret can be corrosive to our mental health. In this episode we discuss why and how we can overcome regret.
The death of Özbeg, Khan of the Golden Horde, in 1341 marked the end of an era for the Jochid Khanate. The thirty year reign of Özbeg had been one of relative internal stability; a stability his successors were not to enjoy. Bloody succession struggles, plague and economic woe were now to be the news of the day within the Horde. And it was Özbeg's sons Tini Beg and Jani Beg Khan who were to face the front of it. Today we take you through the reigns of Özbeg's sons, the eve of the great anarchy which would rip asunder at the very foundation of the Golden Horde. I'm your host David, and this is Kings and Generals: Ages of Conquest. Özbeg Khan, during his long life, seems to have initially desired his eldest son Temür to succeed him. Having violently purged the Jochid lineage upon his own accession in 1313, Özbeg had the luxury to decide on a successor. But Temür's death around 1330 left Özbeg bereaved, and forced him to make due with his other two sons, Tini Beg and Jani Beg. Born to his wife Taydula Khatun, Tini Beg and Jani Beg were well educated princes. Ibn Battuta noted numerous islamic advisors for both princes, and Jani Beg is specifically described as knowledgeable in Islamic laws. Their names both came from Turkic and Persian words for “spirit,” making them “lords of the spirit.” Tini Beg, as the elder, was preferred by Özbeg to succeed him. During his trip to the Golden Horde, Ibn Battuta describes Özbeg showering Tini Beg in preferences and honours for this purpose. Additionally, Ibn Battuta describes Tini Beg as one of the most handsome of men. There is slight indication that Özbeg and Tini Beg fell out towards the end of his life, when Jani Beg's name begins to appear alongside Özbeg's on coinage, suggesting perhaps the second son was being groomed to be heir. On Özbeg's death in late 1341, Tini Beg still maneuvered his way onto the throne, likely to the displeasure of Jani Beg. We know little of his reign. There is some suggestion that he was not a Muslim, and had some close links with Franciscans, whom he sent as his envoys to the Pope. One of the earliest pieces of surviving Golden Horde literature dates to his reign, too; a Turkic language poem by the Horde poet Qutb, adapting the Persian language “Khosrow and Shirin” by Nizami. Dedicated to Tini Beg and his wife, it remains a fascinating, if brief, look at the courtly life and social structure of the Horde in the mid-fourteenth century. We can tell you little else of Tini Beg's reign with any certainty. Jani Beg never took kindly to Tini Beg's ascension; we may suspect he felt that Tini Beg had stolen the throne from him. The order of events is conflicting in the sources; potentially their mother, Taydula, preferred Jani Beg and whispered into his ear while Jani Beg's Islamic advisers may have encouraged him, in reaction to the possibly non-Muslim Tini Beg's enthronement. In some versions, Jani Beg first kills one of their brothers, Khidr Beg, in very uncertain circumstances. In Tini Beg's anger, he raises an army to confront his brother Jani Beg, only to be defeated in battle, taken captive and executed. In other versions, Jani Beg only kills Khidr Beg after Tini Beg's death. The fact of the fratricide of two of his brothers though, is well attested. So, Jani Beg became Khan in 1342. There can be little doubt of Jani Beg's islam. We are told he even set out orders for his troops to all don turbans and cloaks. Neither could there be any hesitation among the Rus' princes about recognizing Jani Beg's rule; one of Jani Beg's first orders was sending an army to install a new prince in Pereiaslavl'. The meaning was clear. Jani Beg was going to continue his father's policy of firm mastery over the Rus'. In quick order the Rus' princes all travelled to the Horde to recognize Jani Beg's overlordship; the Grand Prince, now Simeon Ivanovich, too made clear his subservience to Jani Beg Khan. Simeon was a close ally to the Khan, and over his reign made regular trips to the Horde, always returning with gifts, honours and Jani Beg's favour. A smart move, lest the Khan remove him from his post. In doing so, they continued the slow if steady consolidation of Moscow's influence regarding the other Rus' cities. There is also indication that Jani Beg held loftier pretensions. By the start of Jani Beg's reign, he was essentially the last remaining Chinggisid khan with authority. The Blue Horde khans were his vassals, and the Chagatai Khanate and Ilkhanate were either divided or dissolved. In the Yuan Dynasty, with whom contact was infrequent, the Great Khan Töghön Temür was a figurehead in comparison to his Chancellors. In reaction, it seems to an extent Jani Beg went about presenting himself not just as successors to Özbeg, but the rightful heir to Chinggis Khan. Not Jani Beg was not just the Jochid Khan, but the supreme Khan. Özbeg himself seems to have used in some instances the title of “khan of khans,” as did Jani Beg. In letters to the Ilkhanid successors in the Caucasus, Jani Beg calls himself the “khan of the three ulusus,” and references to “great Khan,” as a Jochid title continued among his successors for centuries. A subtle shift in ideology, but one indicating a recognition, perhaps, that the Mongol Empire was dead, and now the Jochid Khan was supreme monarch by the grace of Eternal Heaven. Jani Beg did not quite share Özbeg's tolerance to other religions. While he mellowed later in his reign, initially Jani Beg seemed rather set on reducing privileges enjoyed by Franciscans and the Orthodox Church in Rus', normally a strong supporter of Mongol rule. “Idol temples,” —that is, Buddhist or shamanist sites— were specified for destruction. And as we will see shortly, Jani Beg reacted with particular ire when Christians within his empire caused trouble. But even this animosity should not be too overstated; there is no recorded attempt by Jani Beg, or other Jochid khans, to try and convert the Rus' and other Christian populations to Islam. In the 1350s a Rus' Metropolitan, Alexii, healed the eyes of Jani Beg's mother, Taydula, for which he earned great reward. On Jani Beg's death in 1357 the Rus' Nikonian Chronicle describes the late Jani Beg as a friend to Christians, a monarch who had given the Rus' many privileges. We might suspect that Jani Beg took the throne with a zealousness to prove his Islamic bona fides, and cooled in this fervour as the years passed. Unfortunately for the Italian merchants in the Horde, in 1343 Jani Beg was still very much full of zeal. That year, the second of Jani Beg's reign, news came to him of a murder of a Mongol notable in Tana. Tana was the Italian name for Azov, a trading community Özbeg had granted to the Venetians on the mouth of the Don River, nestled on the edge of the Azov Sea east of the Crimea. In September of 1343, an argument between an Italian and a Mongol, Hajji ‘Umar, resulted in the Italians murdering him in the street. Jani Beg was white hot with rage directed at the Italians. His father Özbeg had generally handled the Italian traders relatively well, playing them off each other and making the Golden Horde a good deal of money. Initially, Jani Beg had reconfirmed the privileges of the Italians. However, Jani Beg took umbrage with the autonomy of the port cities, and felt they had too much control over the Jochid state's trade. The Italians' continued dealing in nomadic slaves may also have frustrated the Khan. After the poor relationship between Özbeg and the Mamluk Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad, Jani Beg basically let the relationship with the Mamluks die. With the disintegration of the Ilkhanate, there was little need for such worthless allies, as far as Jani Beg was concerned. He only sent two embassies to the Mamluks; one alerting them of his enthronement, and one informing them of his conquest of Tabriz. There was no interest or desire to allow the Mamluks their continued access to Qipchap troops, and little patience for Italians selling perfectly good potential warriors to distant Egypt. Not surprisingly, it is about this time that Circassians were gaining prominence as the source of Mamluks in Egypt. The murder of the Mongol in Tana was either the final straw, or simply a good pretence to rid himself of the Italians, and perhaps put his own men in charge of the trade. No more could the Italians enrich themselves at the expense of the Horde! In quick order Jani Beg had the westerners in the Black Sea trade cities of Tana and Solkhat expelled or killed, and an army bearing down on Caffa in 1343. As the chief of the port cities, and the primary Geneose settlement, Caffa was the prize of the campaign. But it would be no easy nut to crack. Caffa's harbour allowed it to be resupplied by sea no matter how strong the land blockade. Caffa had also learned lessons from sieges suffered during the reign of Toqta Khan thirty years prior. The city walls were stout, its supplies well stocked. Khan Jani Beg found the city withstood his initial assaults over 1343 and 1344. On one occasion a night foray resulted in the Genoese burning down Jani Beg's siege machines. All Jani Beg could do was cut it off by land, for the Genoese could continue to bring in provisions. A further issue had developed too. While the Venetian-Genoese rivalry was normally strong, in the midst of this emergency they had put aside their differences, the Venetians seeking shelter in Caffa and the city-states putting a trade embargo on the Golden Horde. Recall in our previous episodes, how we described the ways in which the economy of the Golden Horde relied on the overland Asian trade. Much of this funneled through the Golden Horde's Black Sea coastline, and booned with the relative stability of inner-Asian travel. But by the 1340s, this economic system was already reeling with the collapse of the Ilkhanate and Chagatai Khanate, and now with this embargo due to the war with Genoa and Venice, the Horde was effectively cut out of the international trade routes. As early as 1344, a Franciscan observer remarked in a letter that protests were breaking out in the Horde's city with the unintended economic strangulation. The consequences were felt across Europe, with the doubling of the prices of silk and spices. The Horde was a major grain exporter for much of the Black Sea region, and the war was now resulting in famine in Constantinople, as Jani Beg prevented Italian access to the grain harvests. In an effort to bring about a resolution, Jani Beg needed a new ploy. He found just the ticket. In an unusual for any Mongol khan, with the exception of Khubilai, Jani Beg decided to build a navy. Harbouring it in the Sea of Azov, Jani Beg was going to attack Caffa land and sea, or at least choke it out. Unfortunately for Jani Beg, such an effort could not go unnoticed as sailors, labourers and materials were called into the region. Once the Genoese learned of it in 1345, a specialty raiding fleet was organized in Genoa, sailed across the Mediterranean and literally dashed Jani Beg's dreams to pieces; the Golden Horde's fledgling navy was nipped in the bud, burnt and sunk. Jani Beg was denied his swift victory. In 1346 he maintained siege lines but undertook no assaults, and in 1347 concluded separate treaties with Genoa and Venice. Once more the Genoese were able to sail their cargo out of Caffa's harbour, and the Venetians returned to their colony at Tana. The entire campaign in the end was nought but an expensive failure, returning to status quo ante bellum. The situation remained tense, particularly when Genoese and Venetian rivalry reasserted itself, and not until the late 1350s do things appear to have normalized, and Caffa remained the preeminent trade center of the northern Black Sea coast. But by then, a much more significant crisis now faced the international market, in the form of that intolerable little bugaboo, Yersinia pestis. Or as you may know it by its more colloquial name, the Black Death. Wherever its origins were, the Black Death had reached the Golden Horde's cities by 1346, travelling along the Central Asian trade lines. It likely began ravaging Jani Beg's army outside of Caffa in 1346, and it is here that we get one of the most infamous cases of biological warfare ever recorded, wherein Jani Beg ordered his troops to catapult the plague bodies of their fallen men into Caffa, causing it to spread among the defenders. Fleeing Genoese thus took it back to Europe with them. The rest, as they say, is history. Except maybe it's not. There's a number of issues with this popular story. Firstly, it's described in only a single, by Gabriele de Mussi, who was not an eyewitness. At the time of the siege, de Mussi was in northern Italy, and may have only learned of the information, at-best secondhand, but perhaps only after it passed through multiple informants. The manuscript itself is a matter of question: not only do no other medieval accounts reference Jani Beg launching corpses like this, but no other source mentions de Mussi's account in particular. In fact, it was unknown until it was discovered in the mid-19th century in what is now Poland! The document itself shows a poor understanding of the chronology, which is suspect for a supposedly educated lawyer like de Mussi. Caffa appears depopulated and abandoned by the end of the siege, though this was far from the case; it also portrays ships coming directly to Genoa from Caffa and spreading the plague thusly. But we know this to be false: the siege ended in 1346, but plague did not come to Genoa until early 1348, and from ships which had come from Sicily. As you probably know, not a lot of plague victims managed two years with it. Further issues come from the logic presented in the text. The Mongols' deep reverence for their own dead, compounded by their conversion to Islam means that launching the bodies of their own fellows into Caffa seems an extraordinary taboo in their culture to break. In fact, there are effectively no historical anecdotes of an army tossing bodies of its own men into a city in order to spread plague; you'll find very few cultures in history in which soldiers would be willing to disrespect the bodies of their fallen comrades in such a manner. It's one thing to do it to bodies of the enemy, but the desecration of friends and allies is another matter entirely. The Mongols had a very well established reaction to disease outbreaks; leaving a site entirely, rather than stopping to continually handle the plague bodies. This makes a prolonged proximity to plague victims in order to load them into trebuchets even more unlikely. There have also been arguments that this would be a very ineffective means to actually spread plague! We can even comment on the fact that, had Caffa been so decimated, why did the Mongols not simply overrun it? Suffice to say, very few modern scholars accept de Mussi's version of events, if the manuscript is even authentic. At best, we might wonder if the Mongols had thrown bodies of prisoners, or even animals, into the city at some point during the siege, which through a game of telephone turned into lobbing thousands of Mongol cadavers into Caffa, as de Mussi suggests. An accidental conflation of timelines and events in the midst of monumental horror of the Black Death is an understandable mistake to make. The more likely explanation is that the citizens of Caffa picked up the plague after the siege ended. Either looting the abandoned Mongol siege camp, or when the blockade was lifted and trade restarted with the Golden Horde. With the plague already running rampant in the Horde's cities, it was only a matter of time before it entered Caffa through normal means. The port of Caffa began sending ships out for trade again in spring 1347; by the late summer, the plague was in Constantinople, and by early 1348 in Genoa. Caffa may very well have been the launching point for the plague into the Mediterranean, but the launching point for plague into Caffa was probably not a Mongol siege weapon. We have very little information on the effect the Black Death had on the Golden Horde. It seems to have had, just as it did everywhere, a devastating impact on urban centres. As we already established, there were a number of great cities in the steppes which had grown rich on the trans-continental trade. They had already been hurting in previous years with the fall of the other khanates and the Black Sea embargo; now the plague seemed a mortal blow. The only references we have are vague mentions of thousands upon thousands of losses in these cities. The Rus' Nikonian Chronicle states that so many died in the Horde's cities, that there was noone left to bury them. For the nomadic population, plague seems to have had a lesser impact. Steppe nomads essentially had a cultural system of quarantine for sick persons; gers would be marked off, and none allowed to enter which a sick person was inside. Those who had been in the presence of a person who died in a ger were forbidden from the khan's presence entirely. Areas where infected animals or persons were seen were strictly avoided. Such systems remain in place even in modern Mongolia, where Yersinis pestis occurs normally in some animal populations. There, the normally sparse population allows the disease to be avoided like the plague. And it seems it proved beneficial for the Mongols; while Jani Beg had around a dozen children alive by the time of his death, at the same time in the Rus' principalities numerous princes, notables and even the Grand Prince, Simeon, succumbed to the plague. Yet most assuredly, the 1340s and 50s marked a downward path for the Horde. While occupied with the Crimean venture, Jani Beg's western bordering was further slipping from his grasp. In 1345 a Mongol army was defeated by the Hungarian King, Louis the Great. Lithuania continued its expansion into Galicia-Volhynia in competition with the Polish King Casimir III. Jani Beg was frustrated by them, and his mood proved fickle. Initially he granted consent for Casimir's campaigning in Galicia against the Lithaunains, but then in the early 1350s Mongol troops raided as far as Lublin. In the end, Jani Beg ceded control of Galicia to Poland, and Volhynia to the Lithuanians, in exchange for the continuation of tribute for rights to both lands. While raids by Tatar troops would follow irregularly, Jani Beg's reign marks the surrendering of the western frontier of the Golden Horde. Sinking the resources and men of his empire into Crimea, meant Jani Beg had been unable to take advantage of the disintegration of the Ilkhanate. Though we might wonder if this was in part a reluctance to press that frontier, given the troubles his father had faced attempting to do so. It was not until the end of the 1350s that Jani Beg finally threw his weight against the Ilkhanate's successors. For years, individuals had fled the Chobanid state to the Golden Horde, bringing news of the poor rulership of Malik Ashraf. For a bit more context, check out episode 58 of this podcast for these post-Ilkhanid states. But in short, the Chobanids were a non-Chinggisid dynasty based in what is now Azerbaijan. Their final ruler was Malik Ashraf, a cruel and violent man who alienated essentially everyone he could. Jani Beg must have felt that the greatly weakened Malik Ashraf would be a pushover. His intentions were clear in the letter he sent to Malik Ashraf in Tabriz: “I am coming to take possession of the ulus of Hülagü. You are the son of Choban whose name was in the yarligh of the four uluses. Today three uluses are under my command and I also wish to appoint you emir of the ulus; get up and come to meet me.” At best, as a non-Chinggisid, Malik Ashraf could rule as a governor on behalf of a khan. Malik Ashraf asserted in his response that this is what he was doing, ruling on behalf of Hülagü's line. The fact that Malik Ashraf by that point had no Ilkhanid puppet khan was glossed over. Additionally, Malik Ashraf sought to ease worries among his men by stating that as the ruler of the lands of Berke, Jani Beg had no right to the lands of Hülegü. Such an argument did little good as Jani Beg's host entered the Caucasus in 1357. After a single battle the Chobanid army disintegrated, and the fleeing Malik Ashraf was caught and executed. After almost a century of on and off warfare, Tabriz finally came under Jochid rule. Jani Beg was victorious as none of his ancestors had been. After years of reverses, difficulties and other trials, Jani Beg finally had his great victory. He appointed his son Berdi Beg as governor of the region, and returned triumphant to the Golden Horde… only to die two months later. The blame is usually attributed to Berdi Beg, who in various sources was convinced into the action by poison-tongued emirs. In one account, Berdi Beg strangles his father himself. Berdi Beg quickly followed this up with murdering many of his brothers, including one who was only eight months old. He is alleged to have killed this one with his own hands. This, as we will see next week, was very far from being the end of the killing. So ended the reign of Jani Beg Khan, and with it, the golden age of the Horde. Jani Beg appears as an almost pale imitation of Öz Beg, ambitious enough for the throne, but not the man to steer the ship in a time of crisis. He wasted men and resources on his effort to expel the Italians, and achieved nothing for the outburst, preventing him from sooner seizing opportunity in the Caucasus. The Black Death and unraveling of the overland trade was of course outside of his power, but Jani Beg's clumsy hand did nothing to assuage the situation. The fact that he did not face a real threat to his power until 1357 though, speaks to the strength of the Jochid political system that it could essentially coast through these years without major disaster. Such a thing could not be said of Berdi Beg's reign, or those who were soon to follow him, as the Golden Horde entered its period of bulqhaq: anarchy. Our next episodes will detail the steady collapse of the Golden Horde, so be sure to subscribe to the Kings and Generals Podcast to follow.

In 2019, a young woman, using the pseudonym Alice, came forward and reported that she had been sexually assaulted by the volunteer massage therapist she met at her childhood netball games. In the tight-knit community of northern Tasmania, news spreads fast, and within months another 4 women had alleged that the same man, Jim Griffin, had groomed and assaulted them too. The subsequent police investigation exposed a man who had dedicated his life and career to getting close to young girls, which sparked a lot of questions about how his offending, which started in the 1980s had flown under the radar for so long.
"Be fearless, be brave, be bold, love yourself." ~Haruki Murakami. New concepts and ideas are born everyday, the difference between one that floats and one that doesn't, is the same as the difference between being fearless and being a conformist. Experimenting with new things and creating novel hybrids as a means of self-awareness and exploration is the new trend! In this fast paced era, our guest for this episode: Anamika Singh, has succeeded in creating something truly amazing. Thinking beyond the societal construct, Anamika in her journey of experimenting with flavours has brought to us some naturally delicious varieties of tea. It is solitude and silent contemplation she says that gives her the space to come up with these jaw dropping tastes. Knowing from very early on, that she wanted to be a Tea Sommelier, she started her journey as one straight out of school, and while it has been challenging at times, it has also been full of fun and excitement. It is not only in, creating new flavors but also educating people about the richness of this often overlooked beverage that keeps her motivated. Conducting workshops to create this very awareness has become a very integral part of her life. Tea, while dominates a huge part of her life is not her only passion. Harbouring a love for photography she's tempted to merge her two hobbies. Her brave journey is an inspiration for many entrepreneurs starting out. Let experimentation for self- identification be your #SecondAct! Key highlights from today's podcast: Where you come from doesn't matter, how much you fight to reach your destination is what defines you. Tea- a drink around which relationships are built! Creativity and love: the mantras to becoming successful. It is important to just be and not try to prove anything to anyone. Website: https://thesecondact.in/ .

Hey everyone! How was the full moon in Pisces for y'all?? Seriously this full moon hit me like sack of bricks to the face, it was intense. In this episode I talk about what came up for me and the *SpElL* I did for the full moon. SPOILER it was a self love spell and I highly recommend doing something similar for anyone who is trying to establish a better relationship with themselves. Self-care but make it witchy. ;) If you're interested to know, I used a spell from the Simple Wiccan Magick Love Spells book by Holly Zurich. The spell is quite involved/long and I'm not positive writing it all out here wouldn't create some kind of copyright issue BUT know that spells and magick are primarily about intention. There are loads of spells on the internet and a quick google search can get you on the right track. I will eventually do more episodes detailing the spells that I do. Now, spill the tea!! How was your experience with this full moon?? What came up for you? I will never not find it completely fascinating how much we're influenced by what is going on above. As above, so below. I wasn't even trying to get into my feels this full moon but damn it was inevitable. If you'd like to share what came up for you, screenshot this episode and let us know your experience! Tag me @drechez on insta. :) Thank you for listening, XOXO

Today Monica talks all about harbouring shame and toxic masculinity. JUICY juicy episode ladies! In the episode: ☾ What shame is ☾ How shame holds us back ☾ Ways to heal shame ☾ Examples of emasculating men ☾ Healthy shame that is essential to our growth ☾ How doing this work will allow you to feel more, sense more, and have more pleasure in your life ☾ Signs that shame is present ☾ How toxic masculinity is created Some of the chicken nuggets from the episode: “Knowing where your shadows are also allows you to see where your growth lies.” “With men, the most powerful emotional roadblock is shame.” “Many men can have an aversion [to deep emotions] because they do not want to be seen as weak.” “Bottled anger which often comes from shame is what turns into aggression. Anger isn’t dangerous, aggression is.” “The more that you suppress your emotions, the less you are able to feel [including the GOOD]." “Toxic men are not born, they are created.” Follow Monica on IG: @monicayateshealth 3 day NYC healing immersion: https://monicayates.com.au/immersion/ Join the Feminine AF Mastermind: https://monicayates.com.au/monica_work/feminine-af-mastermind/ Join BABA: https://monicayates.com.au/monica_work/bad-ass-btches-academy/

Deeper: Meditating on God's Word Forgive the Inexcusable? Col. 3:12-13 "Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive." Colossians 3:12-13 "... as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive." Col. 3:13b 1. Forgiveness is NOT: believing their excuses, being gullible, forgetting what they did, pretending you were not hurt, pretending it was not wrong, letting them off the hook, making excuses for them, turning a blind eye to their actions, approving of what they did, saying that what they did was not really wrong, being deceived by them, succumbing to pressure from others to cave, encouraging injustice, repressing what happened, living in denial, surrendering to the perpetrator, being an enabler to them. 2. Forgiving another person does NOT mean: that things have to go back to "normal," or that the wrongdoer will not face consequences. 3. True forgiveness always involves forgiving the inexcusable wrong done to you. 4. Harbouring bitterness and resentment is like eating laxatives and hoping that the other person gets the runs. 5. True forgiveness always involves forgiving the inexcusable wrong done to you. 6. Earthly forgiveness is a mystery, whereby "you" bear much of the cost of the wrong that was done to you, but in a way that results in you becoming free. 7. When you finally forgive, you are left with a clear-eyed freedom from: bitterness and resentment, fight or flight, and tower or cower. 8. The Cross was God bearing the cost to forgive you of your inexcusable wrongs. 9. a) Forgiveness is not a moment, it is a quest. b) Ask the Lord to show you who you need to forgive. c) Ask the Lord to help you forgive. d) Seek to forgive until you are free! 10. God teach me, lead me, and help me to forgive ________. 11. Dear Lord, I thank You that on the cross, you paid all of the cost, and forgave the inexcusable wrong that I am responsible for. Please pour the Holy Spirit deep within me, and engrave the Gospel on my heart, so that I will remain Yours forever and can forgive the inexcusable wrongs done to me, living free for Your glory. In Jesus Name, AMEN.
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiC_AxbpTpw[/embedyt] We are reminded of the wisdom of Mahatma Gandhi, “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong.” Forgiveness gives people peace of mind which leads to freedom. In biblical terms, the Greek word translated for “forgiveness” literally means “to let go”. Some people have a hard time with forgiveness because they believe that if they forgive they are accepting or excusing the behaviour or action that occurred. Forgiveness is not saying what happened was respectful and right. Letting go is about freeing yourself from negative emotions around the situation or person so you can move forward. Forgiveness is an intention decision to change how you feel about a situation. You can choose to harbour anger, resentment, and pain OR you can learn to chose joy, happiness, and peace. Sometimes it is hard for some people to let go and forgive for the anger and resentment has become a best friend. They always have something to talk about and someone to blame for their shortcomings. They play the victim or as some may refer to as “Eeyore” the dear friend from Winnie the Pooh. We all make mistakes and sometimes say things in the heat of the moment or without thinking. We can ask for forgiveness but sometimes the other person cannot forgive or is not ready to forgive. The person who cannot forgive sometimes needs to process what is going on. There may be times when people get caught up in nursing their own feelings that they forget or disregard yours. Open communication is imperative. You can acknowledge a person's offering of forgiveness and tell them you need time to process it all. You can also tell them you need time. Even though, forgiveness can occur in an instant by a decision, trust needs to be built over time. Unforgiveness divides and separates people from each other. The quicker we can come to a place of understanding and forgiveness the quicker we can move forward. Harbouring pain from the past steals your joy from the “here and now”. You cannot change what happened. You can change how you view the situation. When you make a decision to forgive someone, you are demonstrating compassion and empathy for yourself and others. Hanging on to past hurts influences the steps you take moving into your future. You may be sabotaging yourself by holding on to past pains and hurts. Stop beating yourself up over what you could and could have done. Your thoughts and feelings at the time influenced your actions. The results and outcomes may not have ended up as you would have liked but realize you can ask forgiveness or what you can do differently to may things right – knowing that they may never be the same or they may be stronger. Anger and resentment can occur in the workplace. When hurts occur, it is important to deal with the situation as soon as possible to ensure it doesn't impact the work that is being done. These hurts are often related to misunderstandings, lack of personal accountability – people not doing what they say they are going to go, and fears. Issues that could be easily resolved by deep discussion or more information end up being taken personally create conflict that was unnecessary. When you come from a place of judgment of others, we must look at ourselves and ask ourselves what we have not been able to forgive of ourselves. Instead of judging based on mistakes and failures, we need to come from a place of learning and understanding. Forgiveness has many benefits: Healthier relationships Improved mental health Improved self esteem decreased blood pressure lessened symptoms of depression less anxiety or stress Do you need to forgive someone OR need to be forgiven? Take time to self-reflect. Do you need to take any accountability for your actions or response? Have you asked for forgiveness? Do not assume you won't get it. If you do not receive forgiveness, realize the person may not be ready.
Five prisoners who were re-arrested after escaping from the Kutama Sinthumule maximum security prison have briefly appeared at the Louis Trichartd Magistrate's court in Limpopo. They have been charged with escaping from custody. They escaped last week during a strike by prison warders. During the strike, inmates went on the rampage, and setting parts of the prison on fire. Two of the prisoners are still on the run. Tsepiso Makwetla spoke to Limpopo police spokesperson, Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo
Matthew 18:21:35 Paul Williams is a Pastor at Temple Baptist Church, Wolverhampton. He delivers a very sobering and informative sermon looking at the consequences of failing to forgive others when offended. He asks three fundamental and heart searching questions: Why should we forgive; what are the consequences if we don't forgive; and how we should forgive? I trust that this sermon will both instruct and challenge you in this most crucial area of forgiveness. The bottom line is this…if our horizontal relationship is out of shape, so will be our vertical one also!!
Speaker: Graham Agnew – Impact…Making Your Life Count // Week 4: What Am I Holding Onto? Letting go of past hurts, grievances, disappointments etc. is much easier said than done. However, it is essential we do just that, if we’re to maximize our influence on other people. Harbouring the pain of the past significantly reduces our effectiveness, when it comes to the positive impact we can have on those around us. Fortunately, Jesus has the answer…
