There has been an increase in emotional distress across our world over the last decade.

We live in a world allergic to correction. Say something is wrong and you're judgmental; call someone higher and you're labeled toxic. But the Kingdom of God calls us to something better—correction that restores, not crushes.Paul shows that godly correction isn't condemnation—it's love that warns, invites, and walks beside. The goal isn't shame that destroys, but discomfort that redirects. Like a loving father, Paul calls his spiritual children back to joy: “Imitate me as I imitate Christ.” Correction that heals always reminds us who we are—beloved sons and daughters who reflect Jesus in both word and deed.Real transformation doesn't come from talk, but from power—the Spirit's power alive in us. The Kingdom doesn't move through empty words or defensive pride, but through humble imitation of Christ. When we receive correction in grace, we make space for resurrection power. And when we offer correction in love, we help others find their way home to joy.Godly Correction... Ensures there is love within the relationship Affirms the love within the relationship Does not Destroy Someone's Identity, but affirms identity in Christ Provides Direct Correction instead of coddling to the point of avoiding correction Calls to one's side - Uses "we" language Sounds like, "We are not people who do _______.  We are people who do ________. Godly correction doesn't shrink us—it strengthens us. It's the Spirit's way of saying, “This is who we are. Let's walk back together.

Second Thessalonians Series: 2 Thessalonians 3:9-Paul, Silvanus and Timothy Provided the Thessalonians an Example to Imitate-Lesson # 62

We explore the critical importance of abiding in Jesus' teachings and God's Word for authentic Christian discipleship. Genuine faith in Jesus requires not just belief, but a continuous commitment to Jesus' teachings. By remaining faithful to Scripture, believers can experience true freedom from sin and spiritual death. We must make room in our hearts for all of God's Word, even the difficult parts. 

Children naturally imitate those they love and trust. In our daily prayer and devotional, we remember how they learn by watching, copying, and repeating what they see. In the same way, God calls His children to imitate Him—to reflect His love, compassion, and holiness in our daily lives. Emily Rose Massey reminds us that just as parents model godly character for their children, we are called to model our lives after Christ. Jesus’ life was the ultimate picture of selfless love—He “gave Himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Imitating Him means walking in humility, extending grace to others, and choosing love even when it costs us something. Imitating Christ also means learning from the examples of faithful believers who have gone before us—like Paul, who urged the early Church to follow his example as he followed Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1). Paul’s life was marked by joy in suffering and unwavering trust in God. He modeled what it looks like to prioritize God’s glory over comfort and ease. As we spend time in God’s Word, abide in His presence, and walk alongside other believers, we are shaped into His likeness little by little. This lifelong process of imitation transforms us from the inside out, teaching us to love sacrificially and live for the glory of God rather than for ourselves. Today's Bible Reading: "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." – Ephesians 5:1-2, ESV Key Takeaways We are called to imitate God by walking in love, just as Christ loved and sacrificed for us. True imitation begins with abiding in Christ and being transformed by His Spirit. Surround yourself with mentors and believers who model Christlike living. Every act of selfless love becomes a fragrant offering of worship to God. Let’s Pray Together Heavenly Father, thank You for saving me and calling me to walk in Your love. Help me to imitate Christ in every area of my life—my words, actions, and thoughts. Strengthen me to live with humility, grace, and boldness for Your glory. Surround me with believers who encourage me to walk faithfully and remind me to fix my eyes on Jesus, the perfect example of love and obedience. In His name I pray, Amen.

Mary welcomes Alexis Hermes to the podcast to talk about her book, "You Can, Through Christ". In this installment of SUFTT we look at discipleship, what it is and what it isn't. Primarily, it needs to be based on truth, and it needs to be relational, and reproduce itself. In these days of online church, and devices that prevent us from truly engaging with those around us, what does that look like? Or rather, what should it look like? Jesus said to go and make disciples of all nations. That is truly a tall order, implying the gospel plus living it out, and how best to do that. It's not just for pastors or theologians, it is for all of us. But first, internal transformation is required, so that we are equipped to point people to the truth, sound doctrine, and how the body works together. We talk about several chapter themes in her book, and how each one presents a challenge to godly living. A full hour of conversation on how to pass the faith along.

St. Basil's mediation on the many virtues of bees and how Christians do well to imitate them. "Imitate the character of the bee," writes St. Basil, "because it constructs its honeycomb without injuring anyone or destroying another's fruit."An excerpt from homily eight of the Hexaemeron, a collection of nine homilies on the six days of creation. Note: in St. Basil's time the queen bee was understood to be a king. They didn't know the leader was a female until much later. I have kept the original text but when you hear “king” know that St. Basil is referring to the queen bee.

Imitation isn't just flattery.  Imitating one who imitates Christ is being discipled.  Pastor Al Dagel shares Paul's plea for us to imitate him in what is right.

Sermon by Clair Sams How To Imitate Christ www.ihconvention.com

Many of us live with the constant pressure to perform, feeling that our spiritual lives are another to-do list we have to manage. But what if all our religious activity is missing the one thing that actually produces a life of deep peace and joy? Join us this Sunday as we explore a foundational shift that Jesus invites every one of his followers to make. It's an invitation to trade the exhaustion of trying harder for the profound rest that comes from a genuine connection.

"If I cannot witness where I am comfortable, why would god call me to where I am unconfortable?" Jesus declared that his disciples would be his witnesses “to the ends of the earth.” Early Christians lived out this proclamation in powerful and palpable ways. Today we struggle to witness to those close to us, let alone to those at the ends of the earth. This series offers a glimpse into ways early Christians witnessed. Impacted?

Is faith meant to be a private, internal feeling, or something more? What if Jesus came not just to share a message, but to put the very life of heaven on display for all to see? This weekend, we explore how our ordinary lives are meant to be the main showroom for the Kingdom on display. Discover how your daily actions can become a compelling preview of God's goodness and power for a watching world.

Throughout Jesus's ministry, we see Him call people out of the crowd around Him to a life of apprenticeship. The cost of following Jesus is high, but what we gain is far greater than what we lose. What in my life needs to die, so that I can truly live?

Imitating good will show you are from God. But be encouraged that this is a daily process that begins with being Beloved. You're not earning that title or place. God has done the work, and now we work out of who God has already called us to be. 3 John 11 Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God.Following Jesus and enjoying life are not mutually exclusive.

In Philippians 3:17-21 we learn that we are to imitate the examples that lead us to heaven.

By Gregory Sanny - It's common that young boys will mimic their fathers in work or habits because they want to be like their dads. We as God's children are given a great deal of our Father's example, and as seen through Jesus Christ, so that we, too, can emulate the example given to us.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 7th of August, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Book of Isaiah 42:1: ”Behold! My Servant whom I uphold…” Then we go to the Gospel of Matthew 12:18. Again, our Heavenly Father says: “Behold! My Servant whom I have chosen, My Beloved in whom My soul is well pleased!” Our Heavenly Father is talking about His only Son, Jesus Christ, and He refers to Him as His Servant.You and I are called to be servants. Our Saviour is a foot washer. He's a washer of people's dirty feet. The greatest thing He ever did was to die for us and that very night that He was betrayed, you can imagine what was waiting for Him, and He knew it, what did He do? He washed His disciples' feet first, before He went out to be crucified. Paul, in my humble opinion, probably the greatest of all the apostles, says, “Imitate me as I imitate Christ.”I want to tell you a little story. Early this morning, like I do every morning, I got up and made my wife, Jill, a cup of tea. As I was going through to my prayer room to start to prepare and seek the Lord for this very message that I am delivering to you today, I happened to walk past the kitchen, and last night we went to bed early and some dishes were in the sink that hadn't been washed. And I thought, “Well, Jill will get up just now and then she will wash them,” and I felt the Holy Spirit say to me, “What would Jesus do?” And I had to stand still. I said, “I am sure He would wash the dishes first.” So I turned around, washed the dishes, dried them, and put them in their rightful place. Then I came through to my prayer room, and I am now delivering to you the message which the Lord gave to me today.Today, wash the dishes, make that favourite meal for your husband. Ja, but you know I am also holding down a job, and it is much easier just to go in and get something ready-made from the shops. No, make something for him. It doesn't matter if you are not the best cook. It will mean so much to him. Mow the lawn for your mom and dad. No, but we have a contractor that does that. You do that. It will make such a difference. Let's be like Jesus today! Remember, charity, which is another word for love, charity begins at home. God bless you as you wash the dishes,Goodbye.

In this episode, I step back from the hype and headlines around generative AI to reflect on something deeper: what's actually happening to our experience of art, creativity, and meaning when machines start making things that feel human. I draw from the work of 1930s philosopher Walter Benjamin—who never saw a chatbot or image model in his life, but somehow understood the psychological and cultural impact of machine-made creativity with stunning clarity. What's lost when everything becomes a copy Why “aura” and authenticity still matter The shift from ritual to exhibition in creative work What the Jason Allen AI art controversy reveals about our values How new forms of creative labor are emerging—and what that means for writers, artists, educators, and makers Why transparency might matter more than purity in a world of machine collaboration This isn't a takedown or a celebration of AI. It's a reflection. A pause. A reminder that we're not just building tools—we're reshaping what it means to be human. If you're a teacher, a marketer, a business leader, a parent, or just someone trying to stay grounded in a rapidly changing world—this one's for you.

Read OnlineLifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed saying: “I pray not only for these, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me.”  John 17:20–21Over the past couple of weeks, we have been continually reading from Chapter 14–17 of John's Gospel. These chapters contain Jesus' Last Supper Discourses and provide us with Jesus' last sermon, so to speak. Chapter 17, which we have been reading this past week, presents us with Jesus' final prayer for His disciples and for all of us “who will believe” in Him through the preaching of the disciples. Each time we read from Chapter 17, the Lectionary begins the reading with the phrase “Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed saying…” That line is an adaptation of Chapter 17:1 but is used to introduce the various parts of the prayer of Jesus each time it is read at Mass.It's interesting that Jesus would look up to Heaven when He prayed. Of course, Heaven is not physically in the sky, because Heaven is a spiritual reality. The Father is not located in some place in the sky but is omnipresent, meaning, present all places and all times. And yet, Jesus raises His eyes upward when He prays to the Father. There is a great lesson in this.Our physical disposition is important, at times. For example, when someone we owe respect to enters a room, we usually rise and greet them. It would be disrespectful to remain lounging on a bed or sofa in that case. And at Mass, we do not sit back with legs crossed during the Consecration; rather, we kneel in adoration. And when we greet someone for the first time, we do not look at the floor; rather, we look them in the eyes.Jesus' act of “Lifting his eyes to heaven” was not done because He thought He might see the Father in the sky; rather, it was done out of respect and love and as a way of acknowledging the dignity of the Father. This should teach us about our own bodily disposition and the message we communicate to others, especially to God in prayer.When you pray, what do you do? Though you can pray at any time and while in any disposition, it is an excellent practice to speak to God not only by your words but also by the disposition you take. Kneeling, raising hands in prayer, falling prostrate before your Lord, sitting upright with attentiveness, etc., are all ways in which you communicate to God your love.Reflect, today, upon this image of Jesus praying. Gaze at how attentive He would have been as He lifted His sacred eyes upward as a physical gesture honoring the glorious, all-powerful Father in Heaven. Try to imagine Jesus' devotion, intensity, respect and burning love. Imitate this holy gesture of prayer and attentiveness to the Father and remind yourself of the importance of expressing your love in bodily form.My most holy Father in Heaven, I do join Your Son, Jesus, in lifting my eyes, my heart and my whole life to You in honor, love and respect. May I always be attentive to You and always show You the devotion due Your greatness. My dear Jesus, thank You for Your love of the Father in Heaven. Give me the grace I need to imitate You and Your perfect love in my life. Jesus, I trust in You.  El Greco, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Jason talks about the increase in customs revenue under Trump's policies, highlighting a significant rise from $4 billion in 2015 to $22.3 billion, though he noted it would not solve government debt issues. He predicted a likely decrease in interest rates due to the disappearance of the inflation threat, which could lead to a surge in home buyers, potentially wiping out current inventory if rates drop by half a percent. Jason emphasized the importance of focusing on fundamentals and staying in the market long-term for success, even during a "boring" time in real estate with moderate appreciation and flat rents. He also mentioned opportunities in note investing for high returns and encouraged listeners to explore this option. Then Jason and Paul Moore of  WellingsCapital.com discuss the concept of "boring investors" who focus on long-term, passive investing strategies that prioritize consistent returns and personal fulfillment over speculative trading and quick profits. They explore how successful investors like Warren Buffett demonstrate the benefits of careful, methodical investing through steady growth and avoidance of emotional decision-making, while emphasizing the importance of diversification within proven asset classes like real estate. They conclude with reflections on legacy investing and social impact, highlighting the value of disciplined, boring investment approaches that prioritize long-term happiness and meaningful contributions to society.
