Christians believe that God has personally, truthfully, and sufficiently revealed himself in the Bible. This should not be a blind following but is the result of the deep intellection tradition of biblical and theological studies. However, "pragmatism, consumerism, and an entertainment mentality have shifted the priorities of some churches away from our primary calling to devote ourselves to knowing God deeply through his Word." Why does theology matter? "Knowledge without devotion is cold, dead orthodoxy. Devotion without knowledge is irrational instability... The study of theology is learning to think God's thoughts after him so that our minds and hearts and actions are conformed to his image."

The last book in the Bible, Revelation, has been misunderstood, misused, and misapplied perhaps more than any other book in Scripture. And it's no wonder. It's an ancient text far removed from our usual experience, filled with unfamiliar and frightful images. But it doesn't have to be that way. If you know the interpretive key to Revelation you can unlock its message, read it with understanding, and benefit from its practical and encouraging message.

A Berean Growth Class on how to read, interpret, and apply God's Word.

Today's podcast, which repurposes a recent webinar, is the conclusion of a two-part examination of the CFPB's use of a proposed interpretive rule, rather than a legislative rule, to expand regulatory requirements for earned wage access (EWA) products. Part One, which was released last week, focused on the CFPB's use of an interpretive rule to expand regulatory requirements for buy-now, pay-later (BNPL) products. We open with a discussion of EWA products, briefly describing and distinguishing direct-to-consumer EWAs and employer-based EWAS. We review some of the consumer-friendly features that are common to EWAs, including that there is no interest charged and they are typically non-recourse, and discuss expedited funding fees and tips, neither of which is required to access EWAs. We also provide an overview of how some states have attempted to regulate (or specifically not regulate) EWAs. We then transition into a discussion of the CFPB's history with EWA products, including the Bureau's advisory opinion in 2020 that took a markedly different approach to EWAs, essentially taking the position that a certain subset of EWAs fell outside of the definition of “credit” under the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and Regulation Z. The CFPB's proposed interpretive rule, on the other hand, states that EWAs are “credit” and that expedited funding fees and optional tips, in most circumstances, are part of the finance charge that must be disclosed under TILA and Regulation Z. We explore the Bureau's reasoning in support of these conclusions and some of the compliance difficulties that the proposed interpretive rule would create were it to go into effect as written. Since this recording took place, the CFPB has posted over 148,000 comment letters that it has received on the proposed interpretive rule, many of which are from consumers who use EWAs to access a portion of their earned wages prior to their scheduled payday and are concerned that the proposed interpretive rule could limit or jeopardize their access to EWAs. The high number of responses demonstrates the level of interest that the CFPB's proposed interpretive rule has generated. We conclude with thoughts about vulnerabilities with both the proposed interpretive rule for EWAs and the interpretive rule for BNPLs that we described in Part One of this podcast, as well as how these rules could potentially be challenged. One notable development that has occurred since our recording is that the Financial Technology Association has filed a complaint asking a D.C. federal court to strike down the interpretive rule for BNPLs because of the alleged violations of the Administrative Procedure Act that we discuss in this episode. Alan Kaplinsky, former Practice Leader and Senior Counsel in Ballard Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group, moderates today's episode, and is joined by John Culhane and Michael Guerrero, Partners in the Group, and John Kimble, Of Counsel in the Group.

Are we truly grasping the essence of Revelation, or have we merely relegated its message to the past? In Part 4 of our series "From Eden to Empire," we invite you to see Revelation as a lens for understanding all empires, not just Rome. Discover how its profound teachings can guide Christians in navigating their relationship with worldly powers. We'll reexamine the imagery of beasts and Babylon, often interpreted as symbols of Rome's might, revealing their relevance to any empire marked by oppression and idolatry. What does it mean to bear the mark of the beast? We'll explore this as a symbol of allegiance to earthly powers over God, contrasting it with the divine mark of believers. Plus, we'll dive into the origins of the notorious number 666, uncovering its historical context and broader implications for complicity with imperial power. Revelation's urgent call to "come out of her" challenges us to disengage from the ways of empire, urging believers to live as citizens of God's kingdom. We'll also redefine the concept of the antichrist—not as a singular figure, but as any force opposing Christ's reign. Join us as we unpack these themes, fostering a historically grounded understanding of how Revelation speaks to the intricate dynamics of power and faith. With the U.S. presidential elections on the horizon, this episode is sure to provoke thought and inspire reflection on the intersection of empire and spirituality.

Today's podcast, which repurposes a recent webinar, is the first in a two-part examination of the CFPB's use of an interpretive rule, rather than a legislative rule, to expand regulatory requirements for buy-now, pay-later (BNPL) products. Part Two, which will be available next week, will focus on the CFPB's use of a proposed interpretive rule to expand regulatory requirements for earned wage access (EWA) products. We open with an overview of what interpretive rules are and how they differ procedurally and substantively from legislative rules. The intended use of interpretive rules is to explain the meaning of an existing provision of law, while legislative rules, which require a more complicated and time-consuming procedure, including a notice and comment period under the Administrative Procedures Act, are intended to be used to expand or implement a provision of law. We also discuss why the CFPB chose to use an interpretive rule and why they decided to include a request for comments when that is not required for interpretive rules. We then discuss BNPL products, including how they work and some of the features that have made them popular with consumers and merchants. We point out that the interpretive rule seems to represent a change in the views of the CFPB with regard to BNPL. After providing an overview of the CFPB's history with the product, including a report issued by the Bureau back in 2022, we delve into the details of the CFPB's interpretive rule. We discuss how the CFPB seems to be expanding the definition of a “credit card” to include what the Bureau calls a “digital user account,” which is how consumers access their BNPL information. We conclude with thoughts about the implications of the CFPB's interpretive rule and some of the difficulties that BNPL providers will have complying with the interpretive rule. This includes a discussion of the timing of billing statements and written notice requirements for billing error disputes and merchant disputes. Alan Kaplinsky, former Practice Leader and Senior Counsel in Ballard Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group, moderates today's episode, and is joined by John Culhane, Michael Guerrero, and Joseph Schuster, Partners in the Group. The webinar was recorded before the CFPB issued an FAQ, which purports to answer a number of open questions raised by the BNPL interpretive rule. We recommend that you review the FAQ after listening to this podcast.

In this special crossover episode of Payments Pros and The Consumer Finance Podcast, Carlin McCrory, Keith Barnett, and Chris Willis are joined by Jason Cover and Mark Furletti to discuss the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) proposed interpretive rule on earned wage access (EWA) products. EWA allows employees to access wages they have earned before payday, with two main models: employer-integrated and direct-to-consumer. The conversation explores the differences between EWA and payday lending, emphasizing that EWA typically does not involve finance charges or obligations to repay.The podcast explains the CFPB's proposed interpretive rule, which replaces the 2020 guidance that was more favorable to the industry. The new rule would classify EWA products as credit under the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), requiring additional disclosures. The discussion also covers the CFPB's stance on expedited funding fees and tips, which they argue should be considered finance charges.The group discusses the CFPB's approach, noting potential challenges and the lack of justification for the proposed rule. They encourage market participants to submit comments before the August 30 deadline to address flaws in the CFPB's analysis.

Catholics have started to lose a sense of God's presence in the Eucharist. But first we lost a sense of the sacramentality of the whole world. The Eucharist gives us sense of meaning and purpose and reminds us that we are not alone.

Medieval Muslim legal theorists devised increasingly complex categorisations of linguistic clarity and ambiguity. This paper traces the emergence of key terms including muḥkam, mutashābih, mujmal, and ẓāhir, which eventually crystalised in a four-fold Shāfiʿī classification and an eight-fold Ḥanafī one. Both these systems treated clarity and ambiguity not as features of the words and sentences of scripture, but as interpretive claims about the hermeneutical relationship between a text and a proposed interpretation of it. Both the Shāfiʿī and Ḥanafī systems served the same purpose, which was not to pin down meanings but to give the jurists as much interpretive power and flexibility as they reasonably could within the bounds of ordinary linguistic usage. Those legal theorists who resisted this combination of power and flexibility, including Ẓāhirīs and Akhbārīs, could not prevail against the flexible mainstream paradigm that took hold among Sunnīs and Imāmīs alike, and that still tacitly undergirds most legal discourse today. Today modern reformers and traditionalists alike exploit the vocabulary of clarity and ambiguity to support their interpretations. One highly original reformulation of these concepts comes from the Egyptian thinker Hassan Hanafi, who compounds the flexibility of the classical hermeneutic by retaining the flexible mainstream legal theorists' analysis of ambiguity, albeit transposed into the language of twentieth-century European phenomenology, and then adding two more layers of ambiguity or subjectivity through his theory of how language relates to phenomenal reality and human action. This aspect of Hanafi's hermeneutic has been much appreciated in some quarters, but all by itself interpretive flexibility is not the panacea some reformers take it to be, for flexibility cuts both ways: it can be used to justify reform or to uphold the status quo, and if anything is more readily amenable to the latter. As Hanafi himself illustrates, those who seek to justify the most radical reinterpretations cannot pin their hermeneutical hopes on the ambiguity of language, but are compelled to reconsider the whole theory of language and meaning on which classical legal theory rested.

“Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL) products emerged relatively recently as a new approach enabling consumers to enjoy the ability to make a purchase and then pay for it over time. Today's episode, during which we explore the evolution of BNPL products and important recent developments in BNPL regulation, is hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, former practice leader and current Senior Counsel in Ballard Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group, and features Ballard Spahr Partners Michael Guerrero and Joseph Schuster. We first discuss the structure and mechanics of BNPL products, and the benefits they afford to consumers, merchants, and creditors. Next, we turn to a discussion of regulators' reactions to BNPL, specifically the activities of the CFPB leading up to its new interpretive rule, effective July 30th, which equates BNPL products with credit cards and characterizes BNPL providers as card issuers or creditors, thus subjecting them to the constraints and requirements of the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and Regulation Z. We then explore the CFPB's BNPL interpretive rule in detail, including an analysis of the concerns raised by the CFPB in connection with BNPL offerings; the CFPB's introduction of the “digital user account” concept and other theories to bring BNPL into the purview of TILA and Regulation Z; and the complexities and uncertainties now faced by BNPL providers as they struggle to comply. We conclude with a look at the possibilities of a legal challenge to the CFPB's BNPL interpretive rule, given recent Supreme Court decisions, and state law considerations for BNPL providers.

In this special crossover episode of The Consumer Finance Podcast and Payments Pros Podcast, Chris Willis and Josh McBeain interview two colleagues who delve into the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) recent interpretive rule that classifies buy now, pay later (BNPL) transactions as credit cards. Mark Furletti and Jason Cover explore the implications of this rule under Regulation Z, including the introduction of the term "digital user account" and its impact on BNPL providers. The discussion covers the regulatory requirements, potential challenges for compliance, and the broader legal context, including the possible effects of the Loper Bright case on administrative interpretations. With a July 30 compliance deadline looming, the episode provides critical insights for industry stakeholders navigating this significant regulatory shift.

Send us a Text Message.This is a Replay from Episode 73 which first published in October 2022.You know how this feels. You're called into a meeting on something important where a decision or action must be determined. But in the meeting, everyone takes turns making different points (presumably so they feel they've contributed to the meeting in front of their superior), the conversation goes wayward and when it comes time to making the decision, everyone's confused or (worse) misled. This is typically the point where the most senior person in the room then makes decisions, essentially based on what they thought before they entered the room, and the meeting has been a waste of time.It just doesn't have to be this way. The ORID method (Objective, Reflective, Interpretive, Decisional) traces its origins to a person named Joseph Matthews, a US army Chaplin who had just come home from World War Two. When he returned to his university professorship, he was consumed with the need to help people process the events of their lives – to help people build meaning from their own trials. Matthews met an art professor who showed him that any encounter with art involves a trialogue – or three-way conversation – between the art, the artist, and the observer. The Professor explained:   "First you have to take the work of art seriously by observing carefully what's there, and what's not. Then you must look seriously at what is going on inside of you as you observe the art to see how you are reacting, what repels you? What delights you? You have to peel back layers of awareness so that you can begin to ask what it means to you. Art, the professor explained, is like listening. You must work to create your own meaning from an artwork, or a conversation.” Matthews recalled his exposure to phenomenology - the study of phenomena and brought to mind readings of Soren Kierkegaard. Matthews used this structure to create, what was called the art form conversation, and what facilitators affectionately call the focused conversation method. The idea is a structured conversation that helps participants develop their thinking in a logical manner but following a natural human process for focused communication. Logic and facts are introduced first, then emotion is welcomed, followed by interpretation, and then a decision or resolution to the thinking process. In this episode we talk with Robin Parsons, a seasoned professional facilitator who uses the ORID method all the time. Listen For5:09 Definition and Role of a Facilitator7:38 The ORID Method Explained10:03 The Importance of Reflective Thinking17:42 The Challenges with Surveys in Capturing Full Thinking ProcessesGuest: Robin Parsons, MBA, CPF, CTFParsons Dialogue Ltd.Website https://www.parsonsdialogue.com/Email info@parsonsdialogue.com  Rate this podcast with just one click Leave us a voice message we can share on the podcast  https://www.speakpipe.com/StoriesandStrategiesStories and Strategies WebsiteDo you want to podcast?

PART 4 of 4: Many Christians wonder how it is possible to be LGBTQ+ affirming in light of what most people assume to be a clear anti-Gay message in the bible. This episode summarizes all the verses we've studied so far, and weighs them against the larger backdrop of the Biblical principles of Love, Grace, and how we are called to treat others. Love doesn't necessarily mean accepting everything others do, and all though under the law of love, everything is permitted, not everything is beneficial--but love also desires more than just compelling others to do good. It desires their THRIVING. In this special 4-part series, Kelly examines how affirming Bible scholars view the 6 verses in the Bible that deal with same-sex relationships in the context of their time and place, and ask whether these really are sweeping prohibitions of all same-sex relationships, or are about specific issues in a certain time--including violence, idolatry, and religious difference--that may not apply to modern LGBTQ+ people and relationships.

Step 2: Measuring the Width of the River to Cross- What are the differences between the biblical audience and us? Step 3: Crossing the Principlizing Bridge- What is the theological principle in this text? Step 4: Consult the Biblical Map- How does our theological principle fit with the rest of the Bible? Step 5: Grasping the Text in Our Town- How should individual Christians today live out the theological principles? Here is a picture to help you visualize what The Interpretive Journey is.

This sermon delves into the interpretive challenges surrounding imprecatory psalms, examining the difficult reconciliation of these calls for divine vengeance with the New Testament's messages of love and forgiveness. It critically addresses the "sub-Christian" viewpoint, which posits that such psalms reflect a moral framework that is inferior to Jesus' teachings, advocating for a harmonious biblical ethic that seamlessly bridges the Old and New Testaments. This analysis highlights the complexities inherent in biblical hermeneutics. It emphasizes the imprecatory psalms as a vital expression of the deep-seated yearning for God's justice in a broken world. ★ Support this podcast ★

Seven hundred years of scholarship sit on these steps. But maybe there's a way we can clear off the dons and see the steps in a new way.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we explore these important twelve lines that lead us right up to the angel sitting at the gate of Purgatory.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:21] My English translation of the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto IX, lines 94 - 105. If you'd like to read along or drop a comment about this episode, please go to my website: markscarbrough.com.[03:01] Dante's classical dream and Virgil's Christian explanation, continued.[09:03] The aesthetic beauty of the steps into Purgatory.[11:20] Two small bits to notice: "we came on from there" and the angel's position above the steps themselves.[15:51] The traditional, theological interpretation of the allegory of the three steps.[20:55] But the larger question: Why is the entrance to Purgatory an interpretive riddle?[23:11] The entrance to hell was a writerly act of words over the gate; the entrance to Purgatory is a speech act from the angel (which is still a writerly act because we read it on the page).[26:22] Confession is also a speech act.[27:21] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto IX, lines 94 - 105.
