"In the name of Lala, the Merciful, the Beneficent.In the name of Lala, the most beneficent, the most merciful. All that praises and thanks be to Lala, the Lady of the Asiatic. The most beneficent, the most merciful. The only owner of the day of recompense. You alone we worship, and you alone we ask for help. Guide us to the straight way… The way of those on whom you have bestoed your grace, not the way of those who earned your anger, nor of those who went astray. Praise be to the Lady of all worlds. Prayers and peace be upon our Prophet, Lala Kudou, her family and all of her companions. To the honorable Father, Mr. Kudou, Lala protect his grand piano. I ask that the Almighty Lala grants us all success in all that pleases Her and that She takes us all in. She is the Mistress of all and capable of such perversion. Lately, we call for praise to Lala, the Lady of all worlds. Prayers and peace be upon our Starlet, Lala, her family, and all of her companions. Peace be upon you with the mercy and blessings of Lala.          Email lalalandpod@tutanota.com Twitter @lalalandpod69"

Massey's Associate Professor Grant Duncan says that Newshub's recent poll reporting is misleading and explains that "the job of political reporters is to tell us the facts and to give us some critical context to current events and opinion polls" After centuries of waiting, arguing, fighting and conflict we can finally say that today Jesus Christ has been verified as real and it's all thanks to Elon Musk. It was the wild West on Twitter today with numerous fake accounts springing up, being offensive, making trouble and they were all verified by Twitter's new system...I mean who could have seen this coming? I mean other than anyone with an ounce of sense. So, what Twitter's blue tick is fast becoming is a right-wing identifier and not what it was meant for, to help identify authentic accounts who may need to give followers assurance that they are real. Trumps MEGA-MAGA-Meltdown is well underway with many on the right turning away from the Fanta flavored fellow...however, a reminder, this happened in 2016 when almost all the GOP leadership scoffed at Trump...until he got the support of the base and they all had to get into lock step...so we'll see what happens from here

“Seeing is believing” isn’t always true. We believe what we want to believe, even when what we see and experience contradicts our beliefs. Learn how to get past this in today's episode, number. 107 You’ve probably heard this one before, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown.” Today we’ll take a look at the origin of this centuries-old saying, and how it relates to another old adage, “seeing is believing.” They both have implications for our relationships here in the 21st century. Let’s start with a prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown. If you happen to be a person of faith you may recognize the phrase as originating from the mouth of Jesus. We see it recorded in both the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 13, verse 57, as well as in Mark 6:4. The Context I’ll read the passage from Matthew 13, starting in verse 53: When Jesus had finished telling these stories and illustrations [ a lot of teaching about the Kingdom of God through a variety of parables near Capernaum and the Sea of Galilee], he left that part of the country. He returned to Nazareth, his hometown. When he taught there in the synagogue, everyone was amazed and said, “Where does he get this wisdom and the power to do miracles?” Then they scoffed, “He’s just the carpenter’s son, and we know Mary, his mother, and his brothers—James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas. All his sisters live right here among us. Where did he learn all these things?” And they were deeply offended and refused to believe in him. Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his own family.” And so he did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief. The gospel writer Mark adds another detail To this account from Matthew, the gospel writer Mark adds that Jesus was not honored even among his own family and relatives (Mark 6:4). Mark also goes on to say “…and because of their unbelief, he [Jesus] couldn’t do any miracles among them except to place his hands on a few sick people and heal them. And he was amazed at their unbelief.” Seeing is believing certainly didn't work for them. They went from amazement about his wisdom and the miracles he performed to outright disdain in very short order. There’s an interesting play on words here. The townspeople were amazed at the wisdom of Jesus and the miracles he performed, and Jesus was amazed at their unbelief. The teachings of Jesus brought into question their assumptions about life and were a threat to their worldview. The reaction of the people of Nazareth illustrates significant characteristics about the human condition and our natural tendencies in relating to each other. It teaches us what not to do in our relationships. The obvious things we see in this story For example, we tend to put people in categories or boxes, often subconsciously, based on our assumptions. He’s JUST the carpenter’s son. This immediately marginalized Jesus because of his father’s occupation. A kick in the teeth to Joseph. The townspeople further discount Jesus because of his mother and his siblings, for they’re perceived as nothing special either. In their minds, the whole family comes from the other side of the tracks. I wonder if Jesus was seen as illegitimate since his parents were not married when he was conceived. What could someone from this type of background possibly have anything to offer us seems to be their mindset about Him. They were amazed by the miracles they saw Jesus perform. Yet they dismissed them. Who is he to be telling us all this? The townspeople ignored what they saw and experienced. “Seeing is believing” certainly wasn’t true for them. The disdain of the townspeople I believe is rooted in the notion that people don’t change. That we can’t rise above our origins or circumstances. When someone accomplishes something of note that’s not typical of a certain station of life, we don’t know what to do with them. The not-so-obvious in this story We create a narrative for things and people we don’t understand. I don’t understand math, therefore math isn’t important, is a narrative I’ve created for myself. I explain it in a book I’m writing entitled There Are 3 Kinds of People in the World: Those Who Understand Math and Those Who Don’t. The people of Nazareth who knew Jesus from the time he was a little boy had no category for him. They didn’t understand him, “Where did he learn all these things?” was their question. Matt. 13:56 The easiest thing to do when we don’t understand someone is to dismiss them, “They were deeply offended and refused to believe in him.” Matt 13:57 We sometimes experience what Jesus experienced You see this in organizations, ministries, and churches when it comes to relational problems and conflicts. To solve these problems it’s easier to fire people than to do the hard work of understanding everyone involved. Four examples quickly come to mind. In all 4 cases, relational conflicts were not addressed, because that would have taken a lot of time to understand the issues from the viewpoint of ALL parties. Instead, ONE person in the conflict was listened to by the leadership, who then terminated the OTHER person involved in the conflict. It was quick and efficient at the time. But each of these conflict resolutions had the unintended consequence of destroying any credibility in the leadership who made those terminations. Getting back to the people of Nazareth. They didn’t believe what they saw because what they saw contradicted what they already believed, He’s JUST a carpenter’s son, whose parents had to get married because he was conceived before the wedding. We know the family and they’re nothing special. What this carpenter’s son is telling us means we will have to change how we live, and we don’t want to change. So what does all this mean for US? What are the implications for our relationships in the 21st century? When it comes to relating to others, question our assumptions about people. Unlike the townspeople of Nazareth, pay greater attention to the fruit of someone’s life than where they came from and their backstory. Ask ourselves, what narrative have I created in my mind to make sense of someone I don’t quite understand? Stay away from personality tests like the Myers-Briggs and Enneagram. They create self-fulling prophecies and they microwave our understanding of people. We are much more complicated than what any personality test can try to measure. Just Google “accuracy of the Myers-Briggs test” and you’ll see how no serious psychologist considers it valid. Instead, make an effort to get to know others without any preconceived notion about them. Practice the O.R.A. principle of deepening our relationships. Observe. Remember. Ask. When it comes to relating to Jesus Finally, trust what Jesus told us 2,000 years ago is still true. Believe it even if you don’t see it. Believe anyway. Put your faith in Him, and not in your own abilities. The only reason you have any skill at all is because he equipped you with the ability to acquire that skill. If you forget everything else, here’s the one thing I hope you remember from today’s episode. When it comes to relationships, believe what you see in people, rather than preconceived notions we may have of them and their backstory. Consider the fruit of people’s lives, for they may be showing us a better way to live. I’d love to hear any thoughts you have about today’s episode.

How are we doing with our New Year’s resolution to do good for others? To do more for people than they do for you, to the point they thank you in writing? Hey, thank you, Carol. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 91, Keeping Your Resolution to Do Good for Others. We are 41 days into 2021, and I thought it would be interesting to see how we’re all doing with the one new year’s resolution we talked about in episode 87: “Make it a Relational New Year’s Resolution.” If you’re new to the podcast, you might want to go back and listen to it. It aired on January 13th. You’ll find a link to it in the show notes. This relational resolution I spoke about was to resolve to get written “Thank You” notes from as many people as you can this year. It's to do good for others to the point people thank you in writing. Today I want to share the results I’ve seen and heard so far. The numbers thus far As of the date of this recording, and together with my wife Janet, we received 4 thank-you notes addressed to both of us. For scoring purposes, I’ll divide the 4 in half, so that’s 2 for Janet, 2 for me. And then I received one addressed just to me. So if my slide rule is correct, that brings my total to 3. Janet has 2. Carol, how many have you gotten so far this year? 4? really. You’ve always been an overachiever. An unexpected consequence to this New Year’s resolution As I was thinking about how I could meet this goal of getting thank-you notes sent or given to me, I began to think of writing my own thank-you notes to people who have been kind to me. This drew me to a gift I received a few years ago from my daughter. It’s a lovely box, entitled “A Year of Gratitude - A Kit to Inspire 52 Weeks of Giving Thanks.” Inside were 52 simple thank you notes and envelopes, printed in 4 unique designs. Also included is a small booklet, the cover of which read, A Year of Gratitude Journal. It contains pages to write down the names of people you send these thank-you notes, and other pages with thoughts and quotes about the practice of thankfulness. Since I have 20 left, I must have sent 32, assuming of course the slide rule I mentioned before is still accurate. The inside of the box cover reads as follows: Each act of gratitude starts a ripple of kindness that begins with you and reaches further than you can imagine. Every letter you write adds joy to the world, so take out your pen and begin. What writing a hand-written note does for you So I’ve started to write a few thank you’s from this box, and it’s starting to get a bit addictive. Addictive in the sense that I’ve started to become more aware of the kindness extended to me. Even though it’s more work than sending an email, writing a text, or making a phone call, I’m finding myself drawn to this process. There’s something about using a pen to draw something out of my heart to lay it down in ink on paper or card stock, and then putting it in an envelope, sealing, addressing, and affixing a stamp. There’s something I find creative about this effort, and that I’ve accomplished something of importance. And then there’s the mystery and wonder of mailing the envelope. You put it in the mailbox, and for just 55 cents here in 2021, many people will be your hired hands at the post office, your temporary employees, your servants who do your bidding to deliver your note to whomever you want to receive it. From the tip of Maine to Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean, you can do all this for just 55 cents. So what's the point? The whole point of this relational New Year’s resolution is to do something significantly good that impacts people, which prompts them to express their gratitude in writing. Getting a thank-you note is simply the end result of kind and thoughtful behavior on our part. It’s a way of keeping score. It’s a high bar to receive something in writing. Not a phone call. No email. Not even a text. To get a written note of appreciation on a piece of paper requires more effort and work on the part of the sender. For people to go to this trouble, means you must have touched them in some meaningful way. The goal of this relational resolution is to deepen our relationships with people. We don’t have control over what others do to strengthen our bond with them, but we do have control over how much effort WE put into the relationship What generated these thank you notes? With regard to the 4 thank-you notes sent to Janet and me jointly 1 was from a missionary couple who recently stayed with us for a week 1 was for the encouragement received from this podcast Another was for having a friend over for dinner And the last one was for a financial support contribution to a new missionary couple to help get them started The one solely sent to me came in the mail from Kathy, a listener to the podcast, who wrote: “You have earned a thank you note!” Then she went on to say a few things she liked about the podcast. Two things struck me about her note: you have earned a note. It starts with earning… doing something meaningful that evokes a written response. The second thing was what she wrote on the back of the small envelope, “I forgot to tell you this note is from my Grandma’s collection! She always wrote thank-you notes!” What a privilege to the recipient of one of these notes from a finite, dwindling supply from a dear relative of this podcast listener. So what does my experience have to do with you as a listener to this podcast? I would like to hear YOUR stories of people who have sent YOU thank you notes, and what you did to prompt people to write to you. What you did can inspire the rest of us to do something similar. It would be a great way to encourage the rest of us You can send your stores to me in an email to me, john@caringforothers.org. Or you can share your thoughts in the “Leave a Reply” box at the bottom of the show notes If you forget everything else, here’s the one thing I hope you remember from today’s episode. Be kind to people. Spread a little relational sunshine. Do good without expecting anything in return. Start your own ripple of kindness that will motivate others to do the same. Here are a few ideas for how we can respond to today’s program. You don’t need to do a podcast to encourage others. The Holy Spirit can show you how to encourage others in other ways, using your unique gifts and personality that God created you with. Just ask. The easiest way for you to get a written thank you note is to have someone over to your house or apartment for a meal. Or even just dessert. Or coffee. Maybe watch a movie. Or just hang out together. Follow the pandemic protocols to whatever extent you feel comfortable but just do it. A second way you can get a thank-you note is to send money to a missionary. If you’re in the habit of donating to missionaries, you’ll get a receipt. That’s fine, but it doesn’t count for our purposes unless you get a handwritten note from the recipient. For that to happen, you’ll have to do something different. Like sending an extra contribution. Or sending them a check directly, without getting a tax-deductible receipt Write a note to someone in your family. I wrote a thank you note to my wife, Janet. A few days later, she wrote one to me. And it wasn’t our birthday, Valentines Day, or Thanksgiving Do kind things for people in secret, even though you’ll never get a thank-you note for doing so. The Bible talks about this. The “thank you” you receive will be from Jesus Finally, do good for others, regardless if you ever get a thank-you note from them. It will make you a better person, the person you were meant to be. It’s what you were made for. Closing I hope your thinking was stimulated by today’s show, to both reflect and to take action as we’ve discussed. Be sure to let me know how this goes for you. I’d love to hear what you’ve done that generated a written thank-you note to you. I’d also love to hear how you thanked someone for what they did for you. All of this so that you will find the joy God intends for you through your relationships. Because after all, you were made for this. That’s all for today. See you next week.

Jesus Finally Asked A Question

Today, we discuss In Vitro Fertilization. Also, do we "experience" Jesus? Finally, we add to our discussion on manliness.

How blessed are the saints who are alive today, when our salvation has been accomplished by Jesus, when His sacrifice in our place has been finished and accepted at the throne of Heaven-----Our everlasting righteousness in the Lord Jesus has been brought in- We no longer wait with a mixture of dread, hope, and fear, that God's promise will be carried out one day, for the day of God's finishing the work of redemption has come already-----In the Old Testament, the saints cried out for forgiveness, and expressed their hope and trust in God's promises of forgiveness, waiting for it to come at last.----Part of the uncertainty was the question, how can God forgive our crimes- How can He show mercy in the face of His pronouncement of wrath and judgment for all sinners-----There were hints, for example, in God's providing a lamb in the place of Isaac. Abraham seemed to have some knowledge of this substitution, that the Isaac's rescue was but a picture of what God one day would do for His people who trusted in Him. In the mount of the Lord, it will be provided-----Of course, the sacrificial system always pointed to the Lamb of God Who would be provided one day. And yet, Isaiah's prophecy of Messiah's being put to death for our sins was opaque to Old Testament believers.----If Jesus had to open the eyes of His disciples after He rose from the grave, then surely the eyes of believers in olden times must also have been holden.----Those blessed saints waited pensively, trusting that God would make clear His salvation and their forgiveness one day in the future.----The writer of Psalm 130 provides an example of a believer crying out to God and trusting for forgiveness and redemption.

Luke 9:18-27 Throughout the first part of our third Gospel people have been asking, "Who is this man, Jesus?" Finally, Jesus addresses his identity. He then completely subverts the entire idea and expectation of his identity as Messiah. Who is Jesus to you? Who do you say Jesus is?

This episode features all four regulars breaking down several important topics. They talk about actor Chris Pratt’s courageous speech at the MTV awards and what we can learn from his approach to sharing the Gospel. Next, they discuss when its appropriate for followers of Jesus to break the law for the sake of Gospel and specifically cite Steiger’s recent evangelism in Russia during the World Cup. The ask how do we balance being “good citizens” and maintaining our ultimate allegiance to Jesus? Finally, the dig into the Trump administrations enactment of the “zero tolerance policy” and the devastating consequences on asylum seekers and their families. The discuss Attorney General Jeff Session’s use of Romans 13 in defense of the policy and how as followers of Jesus we should respond to this heartbreaking situation Find out what the guys think about these intense topics!

This is a triumphant story about Jesus returning to center stage! Vandals destroyed a public nativity scene years ago and now--after 11 years of hard work--another nativity has finally been set up. You won't want to miss this story.

Can times of hardship be times when our perception of God fails? The message of the Road to Emmaus is one in which Jesus Christ is perceived to have failed at his mission to become the emancipator of Israel from the tyranny of Rome. The miracle that had been hoped for was gone ... and even the stories of resurrection seemed fanciful and unbelievable. I guess that is what happens when our dreams fail. We become cynical and don't want to hope for anything grand and wonderful any longer. Life, perhaps is just a drudgery. But, on the Road to Emmaus, two travelers discover that their understanding of God was wrong, and with just a little coaching and proper understanding, they abandon their prior hope and adopt a new one ... suddenly it all comes together, and a new vision for God's work is real and effective. Jesus was there all along, but we never recognized him!
