As modern, western readers of the Bible, it is easy for us to misunderstand the conflict that is happening in Acts 11. But the more that we know about the context of this conflict, the more we know that God's laws are not arbitrary or legalistic. Rather, God calls his people to be distinct from the world in order to be a blessing to the world.Discussion QuestionsWhich ditch are you personally more prone toward: not distinct enough from the world, or too distinct and distant from the world? How can we help one another live in the tension of John 17:15-18.In Acts 11, we see a handful of specific blessings that come when God's people are distinct from the world: repentance, ethnic reconciliation, Christlikeness, and financial aid. In your group, talk about the myriad of other ways that we can be a blessing to the world when we are willing to be distinct and different from the world?How was Jesus distinct from the world? How Is that holiness/separation/distinction an indispensable part of the good news? And, how did that distinction enable him to be a blessing to the world? What specific gifts, talents, or abilities has God given to you personally that he wants you to use to bring the good news of Jesus into the world?Prayer PointsPray that we—as individuals and as a church—would live in that tension of being different from the world while still being a blessing to the world. Pray that we would follow the Spirit on mission to the world with both our words and our deeds. Pray for Jesus to save people and bring them into his newly united family.

In 1890, French inventor Louis Le Prince vanished just as he was preparing to debut his early motion pictures. He was never seen again. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll consider the possible causes of Le Prince's disappearance and his place in the history of cinema. We'll also reflect on a murderous lawyer and puzzle over the vagaries of snake milking. Intro: In 1826, schoolteacher George Pocock proposed a carriage drawn by kites.

People living to 100 years old in this day and age? How? Is it just luck or is there a method to the madness. Taylah discusses the diet patter of these amazing people and how we could also be eating our way to 100 years old!

Allison Kaplan Sommer, Don Futterman and Noah Efron discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. --Not With a Bang, but With a Tweet-- Labor head Amir Peretz tweets that he’s merging his party into Blue & White, killing off once and for all the party of David Ben Gurion, Golda Meir and Yitzhak Rabin. Should we mourn the loss? --What’s Wrong with Bnei Brak?!?-- Why are most Israeli COVID-19 victims Ultra-Orthodox? Are all the others here who are outraged at Haredim justified in their anger? --The Dialectics of Dayenu-- Does the Passover Seder song, Dayenu, explain the difference between Israel’s right and left? --How Is the Coronavirus Leaving Its Imprint on Our Passover?-- For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra segment, we talk about how the coronavirus is leaving its imprint on Passover, from how to prepare for it, to how we celebrate, to the new meaning it’s come to hold for us. All that and songs by Israel’s greatest polymath musician, Eli Dray.

Under the tax law, certain tax benefits can significantly reduce a taxpayer's regular tax amount. The alternative minimum tax (AMT) applies to taxpayers with high economic income by setting a limit on those benefits. It helps to ensure that those taxpayers pay at least a minimum amount of tax. How Is the AMT Calculated? The AMT is the excess of the tentative minimum tax over the regular tax. Thus, the AMT is owed only if the tentative minimum tax for the year is greater than the regular tax for that year. The tentative minimum tax is figured separately from the regular tax. In general, compute the tentative minimum tax by: Computing taxable income eliminating or reducing certain exclusions and deductions, and taking into account differences with respect to when certain items are taken into account in computing regular taxable income and alternative minimum taxable income (AMTI), Subtracting the AMT exemption amount, Multiplying the amount computed in (2) by the appropriate AMT tax rates, and Subtracting the AMT foreign tax credit. The law sets the AMT exemption amounts and AMT tax rates. Taxpayers can use the special capital gain rates in effect for the regular tax if they're lower than the AMT tax rates that would otherwise apply. In addition, some tax credits that reduce regular tax liability don't reduce AMT tax liability. Am I Subject to the AMT? To find out if you may be subject to the AMT, refer to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) line instructions in the Instructions for Form 1040 and 1040-SR (PDF). If subject to the AMT, you may be required to complete and attach Form 6251, Alternative Minimum Tax – Individuals. See the Instructions for Form 6251. Am I Eligible for a Tax Credit? If you're not liable for AMT this year, but you paid AMT in one or more previous years, you may be eligible to take a special minimum tax credit against your regular tax this year. If eligible, you should complete and attach Form 8801, Credit for Prior Year Minimum Tax - Individuals, Estates, and Trusts (PDF) to claim the minimum tax credit. www.fender-tax.com

“How Is it With Your Soul?”  With this question, John Wesley invited those who were a part of the Methodist movement to dig deeper into their souls to give voice to their hopes and longings for a closer walk with God.  This First Sunday in Lent, we will use this question to reflect on the state of our own relationship with God – and be invited to spiritual practices intended to draw us closer to God’s love in Jesus.  Scripture is Matthew 11:28-30.  See you Sunday!   -Pastor Derek

This week, we're nailing bitches and battlin' bros...it's all about toxic masculinity! [And if you're completely new...uhm...we're not fans of toxic masculinity. Gorilla Shawn is currently at DisneyWorld and Gorilla Christopher just helped his wife of 27+ years with the lunchtime dishes...] Anyway, here's what we talk about this time around: When did you first hear about toxic masculinity? Growing up, were there toxic males close to you in life? Who? (And how do you think that affects boys?) Why do you think toxic masculinity exists? Have you ever been a toxic male? How? Is the very term "toxic masculinity" too broad a term? (i.e. Is it too easy to just dispel anything one doesn't like as toxic?) What do you think about those who say this is all blown out of proportion -- that men are just being men? How do you think we combat those who say it's all just the way men are? Can a guy be both tough but tender without being labeled toxic? Do you think the current political state plays a role in toxic masculinity? How? It seems there are always new reports coming out about men and loneliness. What role do you think toxic masculinity plays in that? Why do you think there's such a push-back by toxic males against the concept of toxic masculinity? What is the future of toxic masculinity?

As we live in these 50 days between the glory of Easter resurrection and the fiery excitement of Pentecost, we may ask ourselves,  "How Is the 'clean heart' and 'right spirit' I prayed for in the midst of life's ashes during Lent coming along?" "What new life is God calling me to and empowering me with in this Easter season?" "How do I allow God to give birth to a new way of living, thinking and being in my life?"

Where are the most creative ideas for pulling people into the arts, and into the lives of their nations, their cities and their neighborhoods? Which specific programs have attracted new audiences? Those questions were raised in a panel discussion on “How Is the Art World Innovating to Reach Broader Audiences?” at a Zócalo Public Square Conference titled “What Can the World Teach California About Arts Engagement?” on June 25, 2017 in downtown Los Angeles. Moderator Seth Porges, a technology writer and television personality, led the panel comprising New Orleans-based visual artist Brandan “BMike” Odums; Rosa Ferré, exhibitions chief at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona; and Berlin-based opera director Lydia Steier.

I take Verlynda for granted sometimes. There’s no escaping the truth. In fact, if you pause for a moment I’m sure you’ll have to admit the same with regards to your spouse. What’s odd is that it happens so subtly. But when I finally clue in, it’s so obvious. Kind of the like the proverbial frog in the pot. So let this post serve as a self-check—possibly even a wake-up call—for taking your marriage for granted. It has been suggested that we start taking our marriages for granted around 3.5 years in. Yet, because taking something for granted can be a real blind spot, I thought it would be worthwhile to start by asking, “What does a satisfying marriage look like?” We all have blind spots in our lives. So we need a clear benchmark. On that note, here are some pointers from a great study completed in 2004 three key markers of a marriage that is NOT being taken for granted (Rosen-Grandon, 2004). Marker #1: Love You gotta have love, right? “Loving relationships are those in which open communication and agreement on the expression of affection are important”. In a thriving marriage, you’ll have a couple that agree that characteristics like respect, forgiveness, romance, support, and sensitivity are openly communicated in ways that are meaningful to both spouses. Here’s a quick checklist on that: How are you doing on open communication? Are you making yourself known? Are you truly bringing all of yourself, your thought, concerns, cares, and feelings to the marriage? Are you sharing those things with your spouse? Are you openly expressing affection? How? Is that how your spouse most appreciates the expression of affection? Marker #2: Loyalty So you can imagine if you’re going to uphold the first marker and bare your soul, you want to choose to do that with a  person who is totally loyal. And to be that person for your spouse as well. Loyalty is based on three critical components: A lifetime commitment to the marriage. Commitment is critical, obviously. You need to be a person who your spouse sees as being totally committed to the covenant you’ve established before God. Keep your vows. Don’t have a wandering heart or a wandering eye. Loyalty is observed through behavior. Prioritizing your spouse. Specifically, you will defend your spouse. Over and above your parents and even your children. There’s an abundance of marriage research that says if you take care of your spouse you’ll do more for your kids than by making them #1. So point your heart towards your spouse. Strong moral values. If loyalty is important to marital success than this one is obvious. Want to create uncertainty, jealousy, suspicion, or anxiety? Just have low moral values. Works every time. But if you’re trying to build a marriage that is as solid as a rock, this is a key feature. Loyalty needs to be clearly observed in a marriage that portends to be taken seriously. Marker #3: Shared Values Pulling together brings meaning to your life goals and dreams. This is not a profound concept so I don’t have a lot to say about it other than that it is very important that you get these shared values out into the open. Sometimes we hold a particular value based on a goal or dream-like an oyster. Nobody (even our spouse) can see this beautiful pearl until we bring it out into the open. Often, when I see a couple just gridlocked on an issue, one of the spouses has a value in there somewhere that has never seen daylight. But it’s super important to him or her. Have you shared all of your values with your spouse? And explained exactly how much they mean to you? To summarize this section: love, loyalty, and values. If you’re taking your marriage for granted, you’ll likely not be on the same page on at least one of these three issues. What If I Am Taking My Marriage For Granted? I want to pivot now and give you five key strategies that you can take into your marriage. Try to pick one or two off the list below and just be really intentional about w...
