Querei-vos muito uns aos outros. E ao dizer isto, digo-vos o que está no âmago do cristianismo: Deus caritas est (I Ioann. IV, 8), Deus é carinho. Estais lembrados daquele João, nosso padroeiro, que é também um bom modelo para aprender a amar Jesus Cristo?Quando estava já velho, velho, velho, embora devesse sentir-se jovem, jovem; quando talvez quase nem pudesse falar, porque o corpo já não reagia, repetia aos seus discípulos: Filioli, diligite alterutrum (São Jerônimo, In epist. ad Galat., comm. 3, 6).Filhos da minha alma, amai-vos uns aos outros, que o resto é conversa. Deixai-vos de simpatias e antipatias; nós agimos sobrenaturalmente. Querei-vos! Querei-vos de verdade (São Josemaria, Tertúlia, 19-III-1964.).

¿Te imaginas que un día tu mejor amigo un día te llama para decirte que no eres quien creías ser? Concretamente, para decirte que eres saharaui y que, además, desciendes de un célebre poeta-guerrero beduino del siglo XIX, una auténtica leyenda del desierto. Este es, a grandes rasgos, el argumento del documental 'La Duna de Chinguetti'. Este martes hablamos con su productor Jerónimo Carrillo. El 25 de octubre se publicó en Vogue Reino Unido un artículo que utilizaba el siguiente titular: ¿Es ahora vergonzoso tener novio? El artículo se hizo viral y empezó un gran debate en redes sociales sobre si las mujeres jóvenes han dejado de estar orgullosas de sus parejas masculinas y de sí la pareja heterosexual está en crisis. Carla Mouriño es periodista y escritora. Publicó un artículo haciendo referencia a Vogue en el medio Sustrato titulado 'Vergüenza da querer estar con alguien por estatus'. Hablamos con ella y con la psicóloga de parejas Silvia Manjavacas. El atragantamiento es la tercera causa de muerte no natural en España. Ahora que estamos en época de celebraciones, en plenas fiestas navideñas, fin de año, aumenta el riesgo de atragantamiento, al consumirse más frutos secos, y sobre todo, caramelos, uvas. El médico e intensivista y fundador de Proyecto Reanimación Borja Díez nos lo explica. A Vigo le ha surgido un duro competidor en cuanto a decoración navideña. No en cantidad ni en watios de iluminación pero sí en originalidad sostenible. ¿Se imaginan un lugar donde todos sus adornos navideños estén hechos con botellas de plástico recicladas? Nos lo cuenta Diana García, alcaldesa de San Esteban de Valdueza. 

Jerónimo Carillo, productor del documental, reivindica en 'La Ventana', el "valioso legado" de las bibliotecas

Decía: "El tiempo se ha cumplido y ya está cerca el reino de Dios. Convertíos y creed en la buena noticia"» (Mar. 1: 14-15, LP).Según el Evangelio de Marcos, estas son las primeras palabras de la predicación pública de Jesús, contenedoras, sin duda, de la esencia de su mensaje. El término griego para decir «tiempo» en esta frase no es el clásico cronos, vocablo que describe el tiempo que se puede medir con nuestros instrumentos, como recuerda en español la palabra «cronómetro». El tiempo al que Jesús se refiere pertenece a otra categoría, para la que el evangelista, sin duda basado en la intención de la predicación original, ha escogido el término kairos, que significa un tiempo calificado como 'el momento propicio.De acuerdo con los designios de Dios, la venida de Jesús trae consigo a este mundo un nuevo tiempo, el del reino de Dios que se acerca, el de un evento transcendental que modifica el desarrollo de la historia, el tiempo de nuestros calendarios y el curso de nuestras vidas (Rom. 3: 26; 5: 6).Hablando de ese kairos, Dios había comprometido su palabra con una extraordinaria promesa: «Yo os visitaré [...]. Porque yo sé los pensamientos que tengo acerca de vosotros, dice Jehová, pensamientos de paz [...] para daros un porvenir y una esperanza. Entonces me invocaréis [...] y yo os escucharé. Me buscaréis y me hallaréis, porque me buscaréis de todo vuestro corazón» (Jer. 29: 10-13 RV1977).A partir de la venida de Jesús hay un «tiempo favorable» que es preciso aprovechar. La noción de kairos pone en el tiempo de nuestros relojes y de nuestras agendas una dimensión de urgencia: tenemos que tomar decisiones y actuar sin demora. El apóstol Pablo lo dirá con toda la claridad posible: «Ahora es el tiempo aceptable (kairos); ahora es el día de salvación» (2 Cor. 6: 2).¿Y si hoy fuera precisamente el kairos de nuestra vida? ¿Y si este fuera el momento adecuado, el tiempo propicio, y hasta urgente, para tomar una decisión importante, capaz de cambiar nuestra orientación vital, nuestro enfoque de trabajo, o algo esencial en nuestros proyectos? ¿Hay algún momento más favorable que hoy, al final de este año, para revisar nuestra relación con Dios y abrazar sus buenas noticias de salvación?El antiguo dicho rabínico formula la pregunta en estos términos: «Si tú no, ¿quién? Si ahora no, ¿cuándo?» (Pirke Avot 1: 14).

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchLUNES, 29 DE DICIEMBREPABLO ENCADENADOA pesar de la iniquidad que prevalecía, había un número de hombres santos, ennoblecidos y elevados por la comunión con Dios, que vivían en compañerismo con el cielo. Eran hombres de poderoso intelecto, que habían realizado obras admirables. Tenían una santa y gran misión; a saber, desarrollar un carácter justo y enseñar una lección de piedad, no solo a los hombres de su tiempo, sino también a las generaciones futuras. Solo algunos de los más destacados se mencionan en las Escrituras; pero a través de todos los tiempos, Dios tuvo testigos fieles y adoradores sinceros. ¡Cuán a menudo los que confiaron en la Palabra de Dios, aunque eran en sí mismos completamente impotentes, han resistido el poder del mundo entero! Enoc, de corazón puro y vida santa, puso su fe en el triunfo de la justicia contra una generación corrupta y mofadora; Noé y su casa resistieron a los hombres de su época, hombres de mucha fuerza física y mental y de la más degradada moralidad; los hijos de Israel, que junto al mar Rojo no eran más que una multitud indefensa y aterrorizada de esclavos, resistieron al más poderoso ejército de la más poderosa nación del globo; David, siendo tan solo un pastorcillo que tenía la promesa del trono dada por Dios, resistió a Saúl, el monarca reinante, dispuesto a no ceder su poder. El mismo hecho se destaca en el caso de Sadrac y sus compañeros en el horno de fuego, y Nabucodonosor en el trono; Daniel entre los leones, y sus enemigos en los puestos elevados del reino; Jesús en la cruz, y los sacerdotes y príncipes judíos forzando al gobernador romano para que hiciese su voluntad; Pablo encadenado y llevado a sufrir la muerte de un criminal, y Nerón, déspota de un imperio mundial. No solo en la Biblia se encuentran estos ejemplos. Abundan en los anales del progreso humano. Los valdenses y los hugonotes, Wiclef y Hus, Jerónimo y Lutero, Tyndale y Knox, Zinzendorf y Wesley, y multitudes más, han dado testimonio del poder de la Palabra de Dios contra el poder y el proceder humanos que apoyan el mal. Estos constituyen la verdadera nobleza del mundo. Constituyen su realeza. Los jóvenes de hoy día son llamados a ocupar sus lugares (Conflicto y valor, 3 de enero, p. 9). Consideremos por un momento la experiencia de Pablo. El apóstol fue encarcelado y encadenado en el momento en que parecía que su labor era más necesaria para fortalecer la sufrida y perseguida iglesia. Pero este fue el momento en que el Señor obró y las victorias que ganó fueron preciosas. Cuando en apariencia Pablo podía hacer menos, la verdad encontró entrada en el palacio real. No fueron los sermones magistrales de Pablo delante de estos hombres notables, sino sus cadenas lo que llamó la atención de ellos. Mediante su cautiverio el apóstol se transformó en un conquistador para Cristo. La paciencia y la humildad con las que él se sometió a su prolongado e injusto confinamiento impulsaron a estos hombres a pesar el carácter del apóstol. Al enviar su último mensaje a sus amados en la fe, Pablo une a sus palabras los saludos de los santos de la casa de César dirigidos a los santos de las otras ciudades (Reflejemos a Jesús, 10 de diciembre, p. 350).

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA         IV TRIMESTRE DEL 2025Narrado por: Eddie RodriguezDesde: Guatemala, GuatemalaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMIÉRCOLES 24 DE DICIEMBRELOS PELIGROS DE LA IDOLATRÍA Lee Josué 24:22-24. ¿Por qué fue necesario que Josué repitiera su llamamiento a los israelitas para que se deshicieran de sus ídolos? El peligro de la idolatría no era teórico. Moisés había pedido antes la misma decisión en las llanuras de Moab y en un contexto similar (Deut. 30:19, 20). Los dioses que estaban ahora en el punto de mira no eran los de Egipto ni los de más allá del río, sino que se encontraban “entre ellos”. Por eso, Josué rogó a su pueblo que inclinara su corazón hacia el Señor. El término hebreo traducido aquí como “inclinar” es natah, que describe en otros textos a un Dios que se inclina y escucha las oraciones (2 Rey. 19:16; Sal. 31:2, 3; Dan. 9:18), y es también la actitud que los profetas exigieron posteriormente a Israel (Isa. 55:3; Jer. 7:24). A ese verbo también se lo emplea para indicar la apostasía de Salomón, cuando su corazón se inclinó hacia “otros dioses” (1 Rey. 11:2, 4, 9). El pecaminoso corazón humano no tiene la tendencia natural a inclinarse ante Dios y escuchar su voz. Se necesitan decisiones conscientes de nuestra parte para inclinarlo hacia el cumplimiento de la voluntad divina. La respuesta de los israelitas fue, literalmente, “Escucharemos su voz”. Esta expresión enfatiza el aspecto relacional de la obediencia. No se pedía a Israel que siguiera rutinariamente un conjunto de reglas. El pacto consistía en una relación viva con el Señor, una que no podía expresarse plenamente mediante meros reglamentos. La religión de Israel nunca tuvo el propósito de ser legalista, sino un diálogo constante de fe y amor con un Salvador santo y misericordioso. Incluso después de la triple promesa del pueblo de servir al Señor, lo cual implicaba, como ordenó Josué, la eliminación de los dioses de entre ellos, no hay ningún informe de que eso ocurriera realmente. A lo largo de todo el libro, se informa al lector acerca del cumplimiento de los mandatos de Josué (o de Moisés) como ejemplo de obediencia. La ausencia de ello en la conclusión del libro representa un final abierto. El llamamiento central del libro a servir al Señor no era solo para la generación de Josué, sino también para cada nueva generación del pueblo de Dios que lea o escuche ese mensaje. ¿Cuántas veces prometiste al Señor que harías algo, pero luego no lo hiciste? ¿Por qué no cumpliste tu promesa? ¿Qué te dice tu respuesta acerca de la gracia?

Lifetime Care | Christian Malayalam Devotional | Br. Damien Antony | Morning Glory Podcast - 1795

There is a popular holiday movie based on an award-winning children's book called “The Polar Express.” In the story, a young boy is unable to hear the bells at Christmas. The reason? The disappointment of life had dimmed his belief and wonder. It was only after a magical encounter that he was able to believe again.Now, I know that story is about Santa Claus, but there are some striking parallels to our walk of faith. Life in this cold, dark world has a way of dimming our belief, too.Maybe this Christmas, the bells in your heart have gone silent. You once believed in a good, loving, powerful God – back when you were a kid.  But then life got in the way. The doubts began to creep in.  To you who struggle to believe that there is a God who's in control, who cares, and who understands, Christmas holds the answers to your questions. Is God in control? God literally moved heaven and earth to fulfill His purposes for mankind. He moved the heart of a king so His Son would be born in Bethlehem. He can handle whatever you're facing. Does God understand? Jesus didn't come as a conquering king or as some sort of superhero.  He came as a baby to dirt-poor parents among a marginalized people.  But even more, He was born in a barn and slept in a feeding trough, wrapped in rags. Why? So that we would never wonder if He knows what it's like to really live in this cold, dark world under the worst of circumstances.  In “The Polar Express,” there's a great line offered by the train's conductor in his attempt to get Billy to at least investigate the possibility of another reality.  He says to him, “Sometimes the most real things in this world are the things we can't see.”The Apostle Peter thought the same thing. He wrote, “Though you have not seen Him, you love Him.  And even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.” (1 Pet. 1:8)God came to our world and faced all of its ugliness firsthand. He understands exactly what you and I face – because He faced it too. God came to earth in human form, seeking us.And if you will go on an honest pursuit of Him, God promises that you will find Him (Jer. 29:13).  And you, too, will be changed for the better.   Text: Is. 9:2, 6-7; 1 Pet. 1:8; Jer. 29:13Originally recorded on December 24, 2007, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

Podržite nas i na Patreonu ➡️ https://www.patreon.com/c/HistoryCastOd dečaka koji je, u staroj seoskoj školi više čuvao ovce nego što je učio, Vuk Stefanović Karadžić, čovek bez fakulteta, bez funkcije i bez zaštite države ili crkve, postaje ključna figura reforme jezika u XIX veku, sakupljanja narodnih pesama i ulaska srpske kulture u evropske naučne tokove. Od samih njegovih početaka pa do zasluženog statusa bečkog intelektualca koji polemiše, sarađuje i razmenjuje pisma sa Geteom, braćom Grim i Kopitarom, Vukova biografija je sve, samo ne mirna i linearna. Njegov put nije priča o urednom napredovanju, već oštri, vijugavi i isprekidani put, od marginalca do čoveka čiji potpis menja način na koji govorimo, pišemo i uopšte mislimo o sopstvenom jeziku.Kad kažemo Vuk danas nekako ne možemo da ne mislimo na čitav paket: reformatora, pisca, simbol. I tu sve počinje. Jer, šta je od toga istorija, šta književnost, a šta mitologija?U ovoj epizodi, dr Jovana Milovanović i dr Nikola Piperski gledaju Vuka prvo kao istorijsku figuru: čoveka koji se kreće između ustaničke Srbije, Beča i evropskih učenih krugova, zavisan od tuđe milosti, ali opsednut sopstvenim projektom. Čoveka koji vaga između crkvenih i državnih elita, piše, prepisuje, pregovara, traži saveznike, i ne odustaje kada postane jasno da njegov rad za mnoge znači gubitak moći i prestiža.Zatim je tu književni Vuk: onaj koji menja jezik knjige i uvodi “narodni” kao meru. Šta nestaje kada staru pismenost proglasiš "neživotnom“, a novi standard postane obavezan?A tu je, naravno, i mitski Vuk: onaj sa spomenika, iz čitanki i političkih govora. Tu se pojavljuju kontroverze: Vuk kao spasilac jezika, Vuk kao "uništitelj tradicije“, Vuk kao navodni alat tuđih interesa. Jovana i Nikola analiziraju kako je od konkretnog reformatora nastala figura koja se koristi kad god treba prizvati "izvorno narodno“, ili potegnuti Vukova pravila kao poslednju reč u raspravi.Ovo nije epizoda koja ponavlja naučene fraze o prosvetitelju i ocu jezika. Ovo je priča koja Vuka vraća u realno vreme i prostor: kao modernog čoveka, reformatora, revolucionarnog lingvistu koji pravi krupne i hrabre poteze, greši, rizikuje, ulazi u sukobe; Vuka čiji rad na naše živote ostavlja posledice toliko korenite i velike da ih i dalje osećamo svaki put kad mislimo, pišemo, čitamo ili se svađamo oko toga šta je "pravilno“ srpski.

The Suffering of the Apostle Paul      The apostle Paul's ministry was marked by unrelenting hardship, yet God used these very trials as a means of shaping his character and magnifying His glory. In recounting his experiences to the Corinthians, Paul detailed the many afflictions he endured: imprisonments, countless beatings, stoning, shipwrecks, exposure to danger, hunger, thirst, sleepless nights, and the daily pressure of concern for the churches (2 Cor 11:23–28). Such a catalog of suffering would have crushed many, but Paul recognized that his hardships were not wasted. Rather than viewing his trials as setbacks, he understood them as instruments of God's providence, divinely appointed means through which his faith was refined and his ministry authenticated. His endurance in these circumstances demonstrated that his message was not driven by human strength or ambition but by the power of God working through a frail but faithful servant. These sufferings kept him humble, dependent, and keenly aware that the surpassing greatness of the gospel treasure was carried in “earthen vessels” (2 Cor 4:7).      Even more, Paul interpreted his sufferings as opportunities to display Christ's strength in his own weakness. When he pleaded for relief from his “thorn in the flesh,” the Lord answered, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness” (2 Cor 12:9). Paul therefore embraced his afflictions, declaring, “Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me” (2 Cor 12:9–10). This paradoxical perspective enabled him to rejoice even in chains, as he assured the Philippians that his imprisonment had actually served to advance the gospel by emboldening others to preach Christ without fear (Phil 1:12–14). For Paul, trials were not obstacles but opportunities, occasions for God's grace to shine through human frailty and for the gospel to reach further than ease and comfort ever could. His life exemplifies the truth that spiritual maturity and that God's power is most clearly displayed when His servants, emptied of self, depend wholly on Him. The Suffering of the Saints Mentioned in Hebrews 11      The writer of Hebrews speaks of a “cloud of witnesses” who testify through their lives that faith can endure under the most severe trials (Heb 11:35–38). These men and women of old faced unimaginable hardships, including mocking, flogging, chains, imprisonment, and even violent death, yet they refused to abandon their trust in God. Some, like Jeremiah, were beaten and confined in stocks (Jer 20:2), while others, such as Daniel and his companions, were threatened with fiery furnaces and lions' dens but held firm to their convictions (Dan 3:16–18; 6:10). Tradition also recalls prophets who were sawn in two or killed with the sword, giving their lives rather than compromise their loyalty to Yahweh. What unites these witnesses is not the uniformity of their circumstances but the constancy of their faith. Though their earthly stories often ended in suffering rather than triumph, their lives bear permanent testimony to the sustaining power of God's promises. They form a great gallery of the faithful whose examples surround and encourage believers to run with endurance the race set before them (Heb 12:1).      Though their faith was tested to its limits, these saints looked beyond their temporal struggles and fixed their gaze on God's eternal reward. They lived as pilgrims and strangers on the earth, confessing that they sought a better country, that is, a heavenly one, prepared by God Himself (Heb 11:13–16). Their perspective was not limited to deliverance in this life but extended to resurrection and future glory. Women, like the widow of Zarephath and the Shunammite woman, received back their dead by resurrection (1 Kgs 17:22–23; 2 Kgs 4:35–37), yet others accepted death rather than deny the hope of “a better resurrection” (Heb 11:35). This eschatological outlook sustained them through unimaginable suffering, for they knew that God's approval and eternal inheritance outweighed every earthly loss. Their faith was not naive optimism but a settled confidence in the character and promises of God, who “is a rewarder of those who seek Him” (Heb 11:6). In this way, their testimony continues to inspire believers today to endure hardship, remembering that the path of faith often winds through suffering, but it ultimately leads to the eternal presence and reward of God. When Believers Fail to Live by Faith      There are examples in the Bible where mature believers struggled to maintain faith during intense trials. In Numbers, Moses became overwhelmed with his leadership and expressed despair, saying, “I alone am not able to carry all this people, because it is too burdensome for me. So if You are going to deal thus with me, please kill me at once” (Num 11:14-15a). Similarly, Elijah, after his triumph on Mount Carmel, fled from Jezebel and asked God to let him die because he felt overwhelmed and alone. Elijah said, “It is enough; now, O LORD, take my life, for I am not better than my fathers” (1 Ki 19:4).      These instances highlight the very human responses of exhaustion, fear, and despair in some of God's greatest servants. They remind us that enduring trials is difficult and that even the most faithful can struggle to keep perspective in the face of overwhelming circumstances. However, these stories also show God's compassion and provision. God did not condemn Moses or Elijah for their despair; instead, He provided for their needs, reassured them, and continued to work through them. God's response to their struggles illustrates His understanding of human frailty and His willingness to sustain His people even when their faith falters. In a way, these moments of struggle also contribute to their spiritual growth, as God uses these low points to teach them, recalibrate their thinking to focus on His power and promises, and prepare them for the next steps in their journeys.      Lastly, we cannot prevent the difficulties of life that come our way, but we can respond to them in faith, trusting God and His Word to guide and strengthen us. We know that “God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Rom 8:28). Whatever happens to us, we must fight the urge to complain, for if we start that, it becomes increasingly difficult to turn back. Complaining is not a problem solving device, and Scripture tells us to “Do all things without complaining or arguing” (Phil 2:14; cf., 1 Pet 4:9). As difficult as it may be, we must chose a faith response to “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; and in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Th 5:16-18). When emotions rise, faith must rise even higher, for it is only through faith in God and His Word that growth occurs. Accept God's Trials.      Paul wrote, “we exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope” (Rom 5:3-4). James said, “Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing” (Jam 1:2-4 CSB). The Lord uses the fire of trials to burn away the dross of our weak character and to refine those golden qualities consistent with His character. The growing believer learns to praise God in and for the trials, knowing He uses them to strengthen our faith and develop us into spiritually mature Christians. Trials can make us bitter or better, depending on how we respond to them. In the right conditions, time and pressure can shape a Christian much as it shapes carbon into a diamond. Wiersbe states: "The greatest judgment God could bring to a believer would be to let him alone, let him have his own way. Because God loves us, He “prunes” us and encourages us to bear more fruit for His glory. If the branches could speak, they would confess that the pruning process hurts; but they would also rejoice that they will be able to produce more and better fruit."[1]      The Lord wants His child to have strength of character, steel in the soul, and not timidity. He leads the Christian into situations and hardships that resist comfort and develop spiritual muscle. He does not hesitate to place them in situations that lie beyond their natural strength, for only in being stretched to face the humanly impossible does the believer learn to trust in the Lord, gain confidence, and discover that divine power is made perfect in weakness.      God uses trials, suffering, and hardships as His chosen instruments to shape, strengthen, and prepare those He intends to use. Rather than shielding His servants from pain, He hammers, molds, and bends them—never breaking them but transforming them into vessels fit for His highest purposes. For the Christian, then, suffering is not meaningless. It is God's tool of refinement, His instrument for shaping souls into vessels of honor. The fires that seem to consume us are in fact controlled flames in the hand of a wise and loving Father. The Christian who learns to see trial as part of God's gracious purpose can echo Paul's triumphant words: “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing… always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body” (2 Cor 4:8–10).      From a biblical perspective, God uses trials as a means to shape us into the people He wants us to be because He loves us and desires what is best for us. He wants us to mature, and life's difficulties are part of the process. We must walk by faith and choose to “count it all joy” (Jam 1:2) because we know that the testing of our faith will lead to spiritual maturity if we yield to the Lord (Jam 1:3–4). This passage encourages believers to view trials as opportunities for growth. Where there is positive volition and a faith response, trials become a means to strengthen faith, leading to perseverance. As perseverance develops, it results in spiritual maturity. Steven R.

Agustín de Hipona o Aurelio Agustín de Hipona (en latín, Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis),1​ conocido también como San Agustín (Tagaste, 13 de noviembre de 354-Hipona, 28 de agosto de 430),2​ fue un escritor, teólogo y filósofo cristiano. Después de su conversión, fue obispo de Hipona, al norte de África, desde donde dirigió una serie de luchas contra las herejías de los maniqueos, los donatistas y el pelagianismo. Es considerado el «Doctor de la Gracia», además de ser el máximo pensador del cristianismo del primer milenio y, según Antonio Livi, uno de los más grandes genios de la humanidad.3​ Autor prolífico,4​ dedicó gran parte de su vida a escribir sobre filosofía y teología, siendo Confesiones y La ciudad de Dios sus obras más destacadas. Es venerado como santo por varias comunidades cristianas, como la Iglesia católica, ortodoxa, oriental y anglicana. La Iglesia católica lo considera Padre de la Iglesia latina o de Occidente y el 20 de septiembre de 1295 el papa Bonifacio VIII lo proclamó Doctor de la Iglesia por sus aportes a la doctrina católica, junto con Gregorio Magno, Ambrosio de Milán y Jerónimo de Estridón.5​ Su fiesta litúrgica se celebra el 15 de junio en las iglesias ortodoxas y el 28 de agosto en la Iglesia católica.

Many radio stations and apps offer the chance to ‘relax and unwind' with peace-inducing music and sounds – and such things definitely have their place, including within the Ruach Breath of Life Ministries. But many situations require us to ‘vent' and cry out to the Lord for His power to break through. And for that, what we want are not smooth and soothing pieces, but those that are decidedly sharp and ‘spiky'! When we invited our dear musician friends to record the opening movement of Vivaldi's ‘Winter' concerto from the Four Seasons, it was because we sensed that this is a piece that will help us respond to circumstances that rouse the godly passion and righteous anger within us. Sometimes, it is necessary to cry out for the ‘storm of the LORD' to come swirling in, and His anger to ‘fully accomplish the purposes of His heart,' as the Lord declares through Jeremiah. (Jer. 23:19-20) How would the Lord have you pray for the situations and injustices you are aware of? May this music help you find ways to give voice to these things – and may the God of breakthrough come as you do so! Many thanks to Susanne Herzog, Shirley Richards Anne Seidler, Gabriele Kröhnert, Peter Richards and Alexander Koderich for this wonderful recording. https://on.soundcloud.com/Un1bFkNXJGN483tbU5

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “I don't have the tools to fix this”? The harder you try...self-help, success, therapy, politics, better habits...the more stuck you feel. Anxiety grows. Anger leaks out. Old patterns won't loosen. You're not just tired…you're lost.This Advent message goes straight to that quiet, aching longing we all carry: the need for real rescue. Not advice. Not motivation. Not another strategy, but help from Someone stronger than us.Through the Christmas story in Luke 2, we're reminded that Jesus didn't come as a life coach or moral example. He came as a Savior. For the helpless. For the wandering. For those who've tried to save themselves and found it only made things worse.If you've ever felt alone, overwhelmed, or afraid that you're doing irreparable damage to your life, this message is for you. Christmas declares this good news: you don't have to fix yourself. A Shepherd has come. A Rescuer has been born.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:When in your own life have you felt like you were “stripping the bolts”—trying harder and harder to fix something in yourself, only to feel more stuck?When you hear Scripture describe humanity as “lost” or “helpless” (Isa. 53:6, Jer. 50:6, Luke 19:10), what feelings rise in you—resistance, relief, confusion? Why?Of the four “secular rescue stories” we reviewed (self-help, consumerism, therapy-as-savior, ideology), which one are you most tempted to trust apart from God? What does it promise you?What part of the announcement “A Savior is born to you” (Luke 2:11) encourages you personally this year?What do you sense God leading you to do in response to your reflections?+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL

Three timely stories to talk about today: 01:20 – Sherrone Moore Fired The University of Michigan and head football coach Sherrone Moore abruptly part ways after an internal investigation into an inappropriate relationship with a staffer, plus a separate assault probe in Washtenaw County.​ Jer and Fletcher dig into how this goes far beyond wins and losses: the impact on recruits, assistants, and a program still reeling from recent scandals.​ They also explore how boosters, fans, and parents might see Moore differently after this, and what it means for Michigan's near-term future on and off the field.​ 09:57 – Leland House Power Cut Detroit's historic Leland House goes dark after a fire marshal–ordered evacuation, with DTE and ownership pointing fingers over damaged equipment and unpaid bills. ​​ The conversation widens to what happens when iconic Detroit buildings fall into limbo—and how quickly "troubled" can turn into "too far gone."​ 15:19 – Kronk Gym Returning to Detroit Some good news: Kronk Gym is back inside Detroit city limits at a new home on Wilkins, not far from where legends once trained.​ The revived gym blends big-name boxing alumni with youth programming, fitness classes and a renewed community mission.​ Fletcher shares personal memories of the old Kronk and why hearing "hailing from Detroit, Michigan, out of Kronk Gym" still hits different for the city.​ Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/DailyDetroit Follow us on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/daily-detroit/id1220563942 Or Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1Yhv8nSylVWxlZilRhi4X9?si=df538dae2e144431  

Lachi thinks the way we talk about disability is boring, so she's here to make it glam, loud, and impossible to ignore. This week, the boys are joined by recording artist, Grammy Trustee, and CEO of RAMPD, Lachi. She breaks down why she went from throwing her white cane into traffic as a kid to turning it into a high-fashion statement today. We dive deep into the concept of "Maladaptive Daydreaming" (and Jer's sudden realization that he definitely has it), the crucial difference between the "Charity Model" and the "Social Model" of disability, and why Lachi's new book title, I Identify as Blind, is pissing off the internet in the best way possible.Check out RAMPD: rampd.orgFind Lachi: lachimusic.com | @lachimusicFollow Sickboy on Instagram, TikTok and Discord!

5:8-16 The doxology of EliphazThere are similar doxologies in Job 9:4-12 and 12:13-25.5:8 But as for me, I would seek God- (Amos 5:4, 6) The Hebrew text actually says but I seek God.  Is seeking God in this passage to inquire of the LORD as the word sometimes means in Gen. 25:22; Ex. 18:15; I Kings 14:5; 22:8; II Kings 1:3, 6,16; II Kings 22:18; II Chron. 32:31; Ezek. 14:7; 20:1.  5:9 Who does great and unsearchable things- 9:10; Ps. 136:4. God's glory is beyond our ability to search or understand (Job 9:10; 11:7; 36:26; Isa. 40:28). Bildad will use the same word for searched in Job 8:8 in which he will say that former generations have searched out this problem of suffering and come to the same conclusions where he and his friends arrived.  5:10 He gives rain on the earth- Ancient people would have attributed the rain to the blessings of their God or gods. Modern man tends to view rain as a natural phenomenon and just as illustration of how the world works. The Bible does not attribute rain to Baal (the contest between Baal and Yahweh in I Kings 17-18). The Bible does not make rain simply a natural law that God built into the world. The Bible speaks of it as a blessing from God's hand, both in Job 36:27-28; 38:25-26. God sending rain on the just and unjust is a continual illustration of him doing good to those who are His enemies in Matt. 5:45.5:11 So that He sets on high those who are lowly- The word translated lowly, shakal, is translated humble in Prov. 16:19; 29:23. God often dramatically reverses a person's situation (I Sam. 2:7-8; Ps. 113:5-8; 147:6; Luke 1:46-56). God exalts the lowly (Matt. 23:12; Luke 14:11; 18:14). 5:12 He frustrates the plotting of the shrewd- God used the counsel of Hushai to thwart (same word translated frustrates here) the good counsel of Ahithophel (II Sam. 17:14).This word shrewd can be used in a positive sense (Prov. 1:4; 8:5; 12:16, 23; 13:16; 14:8, 15, 18; 15:5; 19:25; 22:3; 27:12) or in a negative one (Gen. 3:1; Job 5:12; 15:5). 5:13 He captures the wise by their own shrewdness- The idea is the wise man falling in his own trap he has set for others- Job 18:7-10; 36:8-10; Ps. 7:15; 35:7-8; 57:6; Prov. 26:27; 28:10; Esther 7:10. This verse is quoted by Paul in I Cor. 3:19 and introduced by the wording “For it is written." Does the fact that I Cor. 3:19 shows us that Eliphaz spoke truth demand that he used these words in a proper way? His words are truth, but he seems to place Job among the shrewd who will be brought down. 5:14 By day they meet with darkness- Job 12:24-25; Deut.28:29; Isa.  59:10. And grope at noon as in the night- In the brightest times of the day they will encounter complete darkness (Amos 8:9). 5:15 But He saves from the sword of the mouth- For the tongue as a weapon- Ps. 52:2,4; 64:3; Isa. 54:17; Jer. 18:18; Ps. 12:3-5; 31:21; James 3:5-6. 5:16 So the helpless has hope- 8:13; 11:18; 14:7; Jer. 31:17; Ezek. 37:11; Prov. 19:8; Ruth 1:12; Lam.3:29 The fact that God does these things is a reason for help for the broken. God will catch the world's expectations by surprise. And unrighteousness must shut its mouth- Ps.107:42.  Is Eliphaz placing Job among those who are lowly who will be lifted up or among those who are shrewd who will be brought down? The fact that he emphasizes more about the shrewd who are brought down (vs. 12-14) suggests to me that this is Eliphaz's emphasis here.  

The Lumineers are heading out on a world tour in January, 2026, so it feels right to encore our delightful conversation with the band's co-founder, drummer, and piano player Jeremiah Fraites. Jer loves Radiohead and an unexpected side-bar about the infamous 1993 MTV Beach House performance, which TMEP co-host Alex attended as Radiohead's tour manager, nearly hijacked the interview. Fortunately, we got back to Spinal Tap Moment stories and Jer lit us up with tales of the time Elton John gave him a love tap on the Grammy Awards red carpet; what it was like to fly on U2's private 747; and why Alice Cooper thinks The Lumineers need to "go and eat a steak."

On the third Sunday of Advent (Dec 14), we anticipate celebrating the incarnation with Joy. This year, we're looking at Advent through the lens of the Abrahamic Covenant of Promise. We remember this covenant with an acorn, because it's a big seed. The lid of the acorn represents three key blessings promised to Abraham — a seed (offspring), land, and relationship with God.The point of the acorn represents the point of the covenant, a blessing through Abraham that "all nations will be blessed through you"(Gen 22:18; Gal 3:8, etc.). This is the promise of Christ, the 'reason for the season.' As we dwell on 'Joy,' we reflect on the seed promised to Abraham. Isaac's name literally means "he laughs." God had plans for Abraham's household as a family unit and as a legacy that would usher in THE seed, Jesus Christ, who has us singing Joy to the World to this day and forevermore.Joy is a relational experience that connects us to God and others. The Abrahamic Covenant symbolizes God's promise of this belonging. Throughout the Old Testament, we see the recurring theme of belonging in such refrains as "I will be your God, and you will be My people" (Gen 17:7; Exo 6:7; Deu 29:13; Jer 30:22, etc.).How does this sense of belonging inform our sense of joy? Is there a difference between relational and spiritual joy? How can we meditate on and cultivate more joy during this Advent season?God not only desires a people for Himself but even invites us into a joyful relationship with Him and with each other. May you experience the JOY of belonging to our God this season. Thank you for joining us - father-daughter duo Marcus Warner and Stephanie Warner - on the trail to a deeper walk with God!
