The Community of Jesus was founded in 1970 by two housewives, Cay Anderson and Judy Sorensen. They told members they were "God's anointed" with a direct line to God. Any authority figure they appointed carried that same divine authority. Members were taught to obey without questioning the leadership's authority. I spoke with former member and award-nominated writer Ewan Whyte. His fifth book, Mothers of Invention: Essays on the Community of Jesus and Grenville Christian College, details life inside this cult and its affiliated boarding school in Canada. Ewan was raised in the group from childhood. He knows this organization from the inside, and what he shares deserves your full attention. The Community of Jesus is one of three surviving original covenant communities founded in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The other two are the Word of God, founded in 1967 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and People of Praise 1972, - founded around the same time and known today as the community Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett is closely associated with. Of the three, the Community of Jesus has been, as Ewan argues, is historically, the most politically influential in shaping American evangelical culture of today. Here is something that stops most people cold: the most important best-selling book of Christian nationalism, The Light and the Glory, was secretly written inside this cult. As Ewan documents in his book, this revisionist version of American history, which argues that God intended the founding the United States to be a Christian nation, was produced by Community of Jesus members David Manuel and Peter Marshall Jr. Their work became a cornerstone text for the Christian nationalist movement and has shaped the beliefs of millions of Americans.

Gary answers several questions about Israel from a regular listener. Genesis 12, Matthew 25, and John 8 are all discussed as Gary shows that the Bible doesn't have a special plan, apart from salvation in Jesus Christ, for those who claim to be Jews. All sinners, Jews and Gentiles alike, are saved through the finished work of Jesus, not through who they claim as an ancestor.

Read OnlineJesus' Transforming PeaceJesus said to his disciples: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” John 14:27There are two types of peace we can enjoy. First, there is worldly peace. This peace is the absence of conflict, war, or external turmoil. Civil governments must work to ensure this peace by protecting their societies from outside aggressors, maintaining order within their communities, and assisting with basic human needs, such as economic development, healthcare, and justice. This form of peace aligns with human reason and is based in the natural law, which is written on the consciences of every person.Though that form of natural peace and justice is good, it is not the highest form of peace we are called to enjoy. The peace that our Lord came to bestow is supernatural, enabling us not only to survive, but to thrive on a moral and spiritual level, even in the absence of worldly peace. Jesus' spiritual gift of peace enables us to find fulfillment in the midst of every external difficulty.If we seek only worldly peace, then any difficulty or disorder will trouble and unsettle our hearts. For that reason, Jesus said, “Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” Wars, oppression, crime, poverty, and disease have plagued humanity from the beginning and will persist, in varying degrees, until the end of time. Only when Jesus returns to establish His visible Kingdom as the Universal King will external peace be fully and permanently established. What a glorious day that will be!For now, until the Second Coming, we must learn not only to survive but to thrive within the world. Given the inevitable challenges every human life will encounter, if we want to live in true peace then we must seek out the peace that our Lord promises in today's Gospel. This Gospel comes from Jesus' Last Supper Discourse with His Apostles. As that discourse concludes two chapters later, Jesus prays His High Priestly prayer to the Father: “I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the evil one” (John 17:15). We must live within this fallen world for now, but we do not have to suffer interior afflictions.The evil one has great influence in this world, yet our Lord promises that if we receive His peace, we will be kept safe from the devil's attacks. Though we might suffer some form of external oppression, internally we will be at peace, no matter what we face.The gift of peace that Jesus promises confounds the powers of darkness and is freely given to all who turn to Him and submit to His spiritual governance. The martyrs are the prime example of this interior peace in the midst of exterior persecution. They imitate our Lord, Who permitted the evil one to afflict Him with earthly suffering and death. Jesus confronted that evil with perfect confidence and peace, overcoming it through divine love that won the final victory. In the Eucharist, He continues to share His peace with us, strengthening our hearts against every trial.Reflect today on Jesus' words to His disciples at the Last Supper. At that time, they did not realize they were about to witness Jesus' Passion. Nor did they realize that, in the years to come, they would endure many hardships in their faithful service to God's will. Similarly, if we listen to Jesus' discourse and heed His words, we must embrace them as the Apostles eventually did, once they received the Holy Spirit. We must rely on grace to find courage in the face of life's afflictions—poverty, illness, loss, persecution, and temptation. As you ponder yourself being with the Apostles during this discourse on Holy Thursday, resolve to accept Jesus' promise so that you are spiritually prepared to live in interior peace, no matter the exterior circumstances you might face.Lord of true peace, there are many things in this world that seek to steal my peace. Please give me the confidence I need to always turn to You, no matter what affliction comes my way, so that I will remain in You as You remain in me, enabling me to receive Your all-consuming gift of peace. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Stained glass showing Jesus blessing a man Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Paul's letter to the house churches of Rome is full of rich, theological truth, often presenting ideas that are both mind-boggling and comforting all at once. In today's passage, Paul begins to present his case for a righteousness that comes by faith. He begins by explaining that the world rejects God because they love their unrighteous behavior more than their Creator. There is no one righteous and no one who seeks God, for all have sinned and fall short of His glory. The good news is that if we, whether Jew or Gentile, have faith in Christ Jesus, we will be declared righteous in God's sight.

Did you know a curse without a cause cannot land — but willful, unconfessed sin IS a cause? In this powerful message, Pastor Jerry Dirmann unpacks the 5th and final offering in Leviticus and reveals what it means that Jesus' very soul became a guilt offering for you.Most people know Jesus forgives sin. But Hebrews 10:22 says God wants to go further — He wants to cleanse you from a GUILTY CONSCIENCE. That's what the guilt offering is all about. And 700 years before Jesus was born, Isaiah 53:10 prophesied it exactly: His soul would be made an offering for guilt.Support the show

God used a vision to show Peter that instructions from a previous season, though once right and necessary, can be updated as His plan unfolds. Even though Peter had followed laws given through Moses and earlier directions from Jesus Christ, he had to let go of old mindsets to step into the new covenant, realizing that God welcomes all people without favoritism. When Peter embraced this change, he witnessed the Holy Spirit move among the Gentiles, revealing that holding onto outdated instructions can hinder new growth, while obedience to God's current direction opens the door to greater purpose and impact. Therefore, be willing to release past instructions and embrace what God is saying now so you can fully walk in your calling. __________ Acts 10:9–18 NLT, Acts 10:28–29 NLT, Joshua 23:6–7 NLT, Matthew 10:5–7 NLT, Acts 10:34–35 NLT, Acts 44–48 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

TODAY'S EPISODE: TODAY'S DEVOTION: Someone greater than King David is coming. And this king is not coming to conquer by the shed blood of others. No, he has come to shed his own blood on behalf of others. The spoils of war for this king are not silver, gold, and bronze. Far from it. The spoils of his victory are people, nations, the world – far more precious than any gold. He has come for sinners, tax collectors, prostitutes, ordinary fishermen, and anyone who has been humbled by the defeats of war, even the wars in their own life – in relationships, health, finances, ministry. So many ways that we have experienced defeat. He comes for all the women and men who are ready to wave the white flag of surrender to the humble, conquering king, who comes riding on a borrowed donkey. Daily, he gives his own life in order to offer victory to the defeated. So let's look, because our king is coming. He is humble, riding on a donkey. And this king says to all the defeated ones: Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light. See how humble he is. Allow his victorious life to live in and through you as you rejoice in him. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so.

And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

What if the way you measure your faith isn't the way God measures it at all? That's the question Jesus drops right in our lap in Mark chapter 12 — and He uses one of the most quietly powerful moments in all of the Gospels to make the point. We've been watching Jesus disrupt systems, confront religious leaders, and flip assumptions upside down. And He does it again here, but this time it's subtle. He simply sits down near the temple collection box and watches. Rich people filing past, dropping in large, visible, attention-drawing gifts. And then — one poor widow. Two small coins. And Jesus turns to His disciples and says she gave more than all of them. Here's what I want us to really sit with today: giving can be just as performative as anything else. Those offerings were dropped into trumpet-shaped boxes in a very public space — and if you were giving a lot, everyone knew it. Sound familiar? Because not much has changed. Jesus even says about people who give for public recognition, you've been paid in full — meaning the applause here on earth? That's your reward. Full stop. But this widow? She had every reason to hold on to those two coins. She had no husband, no legal protections, no guaranteed income. Those coins may have been her next meal. And she gave them anyway. That's what Jesus noticed. Not the amount — the dependence. Not the performance — the trust. We also talk about something that I find really freeing once it actually sinks in: everything we have already belongs to God. He gave it to us. So when He asks us to give, He's not asking us to sacrifice what's ours — He's inviting us to participate in what He's already doing. And friend, He can do it with or without us. But he's asking, do you want to be part of it? So here's the honest question I'm leaving us all with today: if someone separated your calendar and your bank account from what you say you value — what would they actually find? Because that's where the real audit happens. Want More?

"Stand Forever" Ep. 13 | The Way—Choose Christ | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge by Scripture Central

For many, the Gospel according to "the Beloved Physician" is the most readable and complete account of the life of Christ. Known for its historical detail and precision, Luke was chosen by the Holy Spirit to communicate the Gospel to an educated and technological culture. The evidences of the truly "human" nature of Jesus Christ are littered throughout this treatise. BONUS: Audiobook included (from original study recorded 2001) This study contains 24 hours of verse by verse teachings. Recorded: 2011

This week, our Senior Pastor, Miles Fidell, walks us through Galatians 6 teaching the difference between harvesting fruit and bearing fruit, showing the importance of holding onto Christ in each season we are in.

ABOUT THIS SERMONIn this compelling message on the Fifth Commandment, Pastor James reveals that honor is the currency of God's kingdom—and the conduit through which His blessing flows. Drawing from Scripture, he explains how God blesses where honor is present and how dishonor, even with good intentions, shuts the door to divine favor. From Adam and Eve to Abraham and Sarah to Ahab and Jezebel, this sermon explores how God respects the order He establishes, and expects honor to flow upward to authority, outward to others, and downward to those under our care. Whether in marriage, family, or leadership, honoring God's design releases His power.KEY VERSES 1 Samuel 2:30 John 5:44 Matthew 7:24-27 Ephesians 5:21-33 ABOUT WORD OF GOD MINISTRIESIt is the vision of WOGM to preach Jesus as the manifested Word of God! Our passion is to share the love of God to all people, to spread the hope of the gospel, and the power of faith to more people, in more places, in more ways than ever before. We are dedicated to winning the lost to Jesus and making disciples of the saved (John 8:30-32). Through the anointing of wisdom, knowledge and understanding, Pastor James seeks to expound on the Word of God, bringing clarity, and making it applicable to the hearer.

Read OnlineObedience—the Gateway to Intimate LoveJesus said to his disciples: “Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.” John 14:21Most people would not think of “love” as obedience to commandments. Yet, that is precisely how Jesus defines it. To understand the truthfulness of His teaching, we must first consider the nature of love.Saint Thomas Aquinas defines love as both an emotion and an action. As an emotion, it is part of our human nature and is the first response of the concupiscible appetite to a good perceived as desirable. This natural love is directed toward goods apprehended through the senses, such as food, people, or enjoyable activities. Since love as an emotion pertains to the sensory appetite and is tied to physical or sensible goods, it plays an essential role in the human experience. However, it's important to note that just because a good is perceived as desirable does not mean it is truly good for us or in accord with God's perfect will.The love that Jesus speaks of in today's Gospel, however, far transcends natural love. While it does involve desire and emotion when perfected, it is ultimately charity—a supernatural, spiritual love flowing from our union with Him. Charity, infused by grace, elevates love to a higher, rational act of the will, seeking the good of another for the other's sake and fulfilling God's commandments as an expression of that love.This distinction invites us to examine the type of love we have toward God and others. If our love for God is purely emotional, it will be dictated by superficial and sometimes misguided desires. When we feel consolation on an emotional level, we might respond with an emotionally loving sentiment toward God. When something inspires us and we feel His presence, we might desire Him intensely. Yet, while this form of love has its place and will play a role in our relationship with God when our soul is fully perfected, it is initially a poor guide to charity. The same principle applies to our relationships with others.Sometimes the pure love of charity hurts on a natural level. The demands of charity often call us to act contrary to our immediate desires and to love even when we do not feel like loving. Earlier in Chapter 14 of John's Gospel, Jesus expresses the ideal of charity even more clearly: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). At the very heart of charity toward God is obedience. This obedience involves a three-fold process.First, with our minds, we must understand God's will, believe it, and assent to it as the highest good, even if our disordered appetites initially resist His will. Once our minds clearly perceive and understand the highest good to which we are called—God's perfect commandments—our wills must choose to follow them. When our disordered appetites interfere, we must rely on grace to strengthen our resolve and enable us to choose the higher good.When this process becomes habitual, and our minds and wills are regularly directed toward God's will, even our emotions and appetites begin to conform. We come to delight in His commandments, finding refreshment and fulfillment in them. This spiritual delight far surpasses emotional satiation. This is because only God's will—expressed through His commandments—can make us whole and enable us to become who we are created to be. Though the journey is often challenging, what joy we experience when we delight in God's will through grace!Reflect today on Jesus' clear invitation to love Him through obedience to His will. Because His love for us is perfect, His commands are always for our good. Sometimes we are like children with erratic emotions and desires who need the gentle direction of a loving parent. Don't see God's commands as a burden; the opposite is true. God's commands set us free to love through charity and to experience both spiritual and emotional joy in the process. When we love Jesus with this highest form of love, we will be gifted with a relationship with Him and His Father, Who will reveal themselves to us, satisfying our every desire. My demanding Lord, Your commands are perfect and guide me into the highest good achievable. May I never perceive Your commands as a burden but have the wisdom I need to understand they are for my good, for Your glory, and for the good of all. I choose You and Your will today and always. Help me to embrace Your will with joy and confidence. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image - Copy of typical catholic image of Jesus ChristSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

5th Sunday of Easter, Year A Gospel John 14:1-12 Jesus said to his disciples: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where I am going you know the way." Thomas said to him, "Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?" Jesus said to him, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him." Philip said to him, "Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father."

Whether it's in the Garden of Eden, Egypt, the wilderness, or a mountainside near the Sea of Galilee, God knows how to provide for His people. Let's learn about the tables and meals in Scripture.Receive How lovely that the story of God happens around tables. From the farm-to-table picnic of lavish eating in the Garden of Eden, to the “fast food,” rushed meal during the first Passover, to God's provision in the wilderness of heavenly food, on into the New Testament servings of a simple lunch to feed thousands, God delights in providing for His people. May we relish in knowing that God longs to fellowship with His people, including us, and a wonderful way He chooses to do so is to set a table for us. Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below. As you reflect on the Scripture, what stands out to you? Genesis 1–3 Exodus 12:1–20 Exodus 16 Psalm 23:5  Matthew 14:13–21 Mark 6:30–44 Luke 9:13–17 John 6:1–13 How does Genesis 1:29–30 show God's generosity toward Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden? How does the Passover lamb mentioned in Exodus 12:12–13 point to the coming of Jesus, the Lamb of God? What does Exodus 16:13-20 teach us about God's willingness and ability to provide for His people even in the wilderness? Psalm 23:5 says God prepares a table for you even in difficult situations. How does that give you courage? How does the miracle of Jesus feeding the 5,000 with just a simple lunch found in Matthew 14:13–21, Mark 6:30–44, Luke 9:13–17, and John 6:1–13 encourage you that God can provide for your needs?  Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Dear God, thank You for how You lovingly provide for Your people from generation to generation.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE:  Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this third day of May, join Hunter, your Bible reading coach, as we continue our journey through the Scriptures on day 124. Today's readings take us through 2nd Samuel 7, 1st Chronicles 17, Psalm 2, and Matthew 20. Together, we'll reflect on God's promises to David, explore themes of mercy and kindness, and hear Jesus' call to serve others out of love. Hunter offers spiritual insights, heartfelt prayers, and encouragement for us to open our hearts to God's presence, reminding us that even at our lowest, we are truly seen and deeply loved. Let's dive in and discover the joy and transformation that comes from following Him! TODAY'S DEVOTION: He sees us and he stops for us. Jericho is described as the lowest city on earth, and in Scripture it's the place where the blind receive their sight. Today, as we encounter two unnamed blind men in Jericho, crying out for mercy and to be able to see, we start to see Jericho as a kind of metaphor for our own lives. Each of us comes to a place where we can't see, where we've been brought low by the circumstances of life. It may not be a city, but we all find our private Jericho. At these low points, when our vision is gone and there seems to be no way out, we're reminded by these two blind men that we can cry out to Jesus. We can ask him for mercy, for sight, for the healing and hope we need. The Scripture tells us that Jesus stops. He hears. He sees us, even at our lowest, and he asks, "What do you want me to do for you?" It's not indifference that meets our weakness, but deep, compassionate attention. This is the heart of our God—to see us, to care for us, to heal us, and to invite us to follow him. When we know that we are truly seen and loved by God, we find the strength and the joy to follow where he leads. It was love that compelled those two newly-seeing men to follow Jesus, and it is the knowledge of his love that empowers us, too, to keep following, even from the lowest points of our journey. And so today, when you find yourself in your own Jericho, unable to see the road ahead or brought low by life's trials, remember the invitation to cry out. Remember that Jesus still stops. He still sees. He still calls, heals, and loves. Let this love guide your steps forward behind him today. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughter, and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO to this reflection on YouTubeJohn 14:1–12Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God[a]; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

Chuck talks about the start of each day and what it really means. First light is more than a time on the clock. It's a reminder of the resurrection of Christ and the opportunity for Him to be present in your life daily. Just like the sun breaks the darkness every morning, we're given a fresh start, a chance to walk in His light and live with purpose. Chuck explains how that idea is the foundation behind "First Light" and why the name matters.
