Caregiving often hides what I call smoldering rage—resentment that simmers quietly until a fresh crisis ignites it like a wildfire. In this week's Hope for the Caregiver radio show, I open with a monologue about those hidden embers, drawing from Montana's fire season to show how caregivers can confront resentment and apply God's grace before it consumes us. The program closes with a hymn every caregiver needs: “Be Still, My Soul.” Gracie's a cappella performance of this timeless hymn reminds us that God's faithfulness steadies us when caregiving feels unbearable and that the daily grind of service is, in fact, holy work. This episode also features excerpts from my conversation with author and fellow caregiver Jess Ronne, whose story of loss, resilience, and faith offers a powerful reminder that we're not alone in this journey.

The Apostle Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians reveals not only his deepest struggles but also the central truth that God’s power is made perfect in weakness. In a world where the church’s credibility is often questioned, Paul offers a radically different vision of leadership—one marked by authenticity, humility, and shared vulnerability. Through suffering, we discover God’s comfort and are called to become “wounded healers” who bring hope to others. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris unpacks how Paul’s message speaks powerfully into our own credibility crisis and shows us the transformative power of the gospel in the midst of suffering.   Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Hear Hymn – The Lord's My Shepherd A Scripture for Life and Death As I write, my heart is with my own family. My sister-in-law and my brother are grieving the loss of her sister, who passed away just yesterday.... The post Hear Hymn The Lord's My Shepherd appeared first on The Cultural Hall Podcast.

Josiah Conder was a well known poet, author and hymnwriter in England in the 1800's. He edited a hymnal for his generation and contributed many of his own hymns to the projects. The majority of those hymns are still in use today, either in England or in America, testifying to the value of his work. We only have one of his hymns in TLH, but it has also been included in the Worship Supplement in an updated form, and with a different final verse.  In its current form, this hymn is a wonderful treatment on the doctrine of justification by grace. There are two foundational Scriptures for this hymn. In John 15:16, Jesus said: “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you." The Apostle Paul also wrote: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." The word "grace" is beautifully defined in this hymn, showing our natural human condition "this heart would still refuse You" (v.1) and "taught my darkened heart and mind" (v.2). It also highlight what God has done for us: "Your grace [has] chosen me" and "You removed the sin that stained me" and "grace in Christ has called me." The hymn also points us to the conclusion of our faith: "from grace to glory," "hope soon change to heavenly glory, faith to sight and prayer to praise" (v.3). The Apostle Peter wrote: "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy" (1 Peter 2:9-10).  Thanks be to God's grace in Christ, both in giving us an opportunity to serve Him now, and the assurance that we will be with Him in eternity. Rejoice in that grace, this weekend, and every day of your life!

Caregiving has pushed me to the point where I've had to ask what I really believe when life gets overwhelming. In this episode, I talk about those moments of faith under fire and share clips from my conversation with author Jess Ronne (Caregiving with Grit and Grace). Jess opens up about raising a son with disabilities, losing her husband to brain cancer, and continuing forward as a caregiver. I close with Blessed Assurance at the Caregiver Keyboard, a hymn that reminds me where to stand when everything feels unsteady. Order the new book today!

Order of Service: - Psalm 63 - O Lord, I Will Sing of Your Constant Love - C. Walker: Soloist: O Lord, I will sing… / Cong.: O Lord, I will sing… You are my God, how I long for you, I thirst like a dry weary land. I gaze on you in your holy place to see how mighty and glorious you are. / O Lord, I will sing… Better than life is your holy love; my lips will speak of your praise. I bless you my God for all of my life and in your name I will lift up my hands. / O Lord, I will sing… My soul will feast and be satisfied; my mouth shall praise you with joy. At night I remember you are my help. I sing for joy for your hand keeps me safe. / O Lord, … - Luke 5:4-11: When (Jesus) had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!” For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.” So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him. - Devotion - Prayer - Hymn 449 - Thy Love, O Gracious God and Lord: vv. 1, 2, 7, 9 - Blessing - Postlude Service Participants: Rev.

O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall show forth Your praise. For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering.

Welcome to Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast episode 743! This question was sent by David and he writes:Hello Vidas,Thank you for your wonderful advice and tips you give on ‘Secrets of Organ Playing'! I look forward to the articles and appreciate them very much.I have also played the pipe organ for many years and have gone through the Canadian Royal Conservatory of Music program. Since getting married over 30 years ago and raising a large family and being a homemaker, my time with music was more spent with our children learning different musical instruments rather than on the organ. Now that they are grown, I am an organist in our church - I really enjoy it! I find you cover many aspects of organ playing very thoroughly in your articles and look forward to your new coaching program! I think the dream I have for playing is how to improvise and transpose hymns with ease. I am wondering how a person can do it with confidence and professionally. That is the only part of my training that was not encouraged and I feel very insecure with how to go about it.Thank you!TreenaAlberta, CanadaHere you will find all my scores: https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/category/arrangeme/?q=Secrets+of+Organ+Playing&aff_id=454957You can support this channel by becoming a member here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO4K3_6QVJI_HlI5PCFQqtg/joinIf you like what I do, you can buy me some coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/organduoPayPal: https://PayPal.Me/VPinkeviciusWe support Ukraine: https://www.blue-yellow.lt/enMy Hauptwerk setup: https://www.organduo.lt/tools.htmlTotal Organist - the most comprehensive organ training program online: https://www.organduo.lt/total-organistSecrets of Organ Playing - When You Practice, Miracles Happen! https://organduo.ltListen to my organ playing on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0ckKPIvTWucoN3CZwGodCO?si=YWy7_0HqRvaZwBcovL-RKg#secretsoforganplaying #vidaspinkevicius #ausramotuzaite

Order of Service: - Prelude - Hymn 450 - Lord, To Thee I Make Confession - Matthew 21:18-32: Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry. And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, “Let no fruit grow on you ever again.” Immediately the fig tree withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither away so soon?” So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,' it will be done. And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” Now when He came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted Him as He was teaching, and said, “By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority?” But Jesus answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things: The baptism of John—where was it from? From heaven or from men?” And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,' He will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?' But if we say, ‘From men,' we fear the multitude, for all count John as a prophet.” So they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.” And He said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. “But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go, work today in my vineyard.' He answered and said, ‘I will not,' but afterward he regretted it and went. Then he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, ‘I go, sir,' but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to Him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but tax collectors and harlots believed him; and when you saw it, you did not afterward relent and believe him. - Devotion - Prayer - Hymn 582 - God of Mercy, God of Grace - Blessing - Postlude Service Participants: Rev.

Benjamin Schmolck | Vase of Flowers and Conch Shell by Anne Vallayer-Coster | Find more at www.ryanbush.orgO tell me no more of this world's vain store,The time for such trifles with me now is o'er'A country I've found where true joys abound,To dwell I'm determined on that happy ground.No mortal will know what Christ will bestow,What joy, strength, and comfort! go after him, go!Lo, onward I move, to see Christ above,None guesses how wondrous my journey will prove.Great spoils I shall win from death, hell and sin,'Midst outward afflictions shall feel Christ within;And still, which is best, I in his dear breast,As at the beginning, find pardon and rest.When I am to die, "Receive me," I'll cry,For Jesus hath loved me, I cannot tell why.But this I do find, we two are so joined,He'll not live in glory and leave me behind;This blessing is mine, through favor divine,And O, my dear Jesus, the praise shall be thineIn heaven we'll meet in harmony sweet,And glory to Jesus! we'll then be complete.
