"In this sermon on Ecclesiastes 8:10–17, we explore Solomon's sobering teaching on God's just judgment and the necessity of genuine repentance. Scripture makes clear that while people can deceive others with outward displays of religion, no one can deceive God, who knows the heart.Solomon reflects on the unsettling reality that wicked people sometimes die with a reputation for holiness, while righteous people may suffer as though they were wicked. Does this mean there is no justice in the world? The answer—resoundingly—is no. These tensions point us to the final judgment, where God will bring every deed to light and render true justice.Along the way, Ecclesiastes exposes the folly of the wicked who mistake God's patience for license to continue in sin, and it comforts the righteous with the assurance that it will be well with those who fear God, even if appearances in this life suggest otherwise.What should Christians do in the meantime?Solomon gives two clear instructions:Enjoy the good gifts God provides, even in a fallen world.Acknowledge the limits of your understanding, trusting that God will unravel every mystery and right every wrong on the last day.Ultimately, the call is to a true, heart-level repentance and fear of God—the kind that only God Himself can give through the grace found in Jesus Christ, the One appointed as Judge of all.
Our Lord speaks of the Judgment of the nations which occurs after the great tribulation and after the 2nd coming of Christ, the Son of Man to the earth. But first, Dr. Mitchell explains 5 judgments found in Scripture. 1. The judgment of sin thru Christ on the cross 1Peter 2:242. The judgment of believers, known as divine discipline or chastisement either for sin or for spiritual growth and education. Heb.123. The judgment of believer's works at the Bema seat. 1Cor.34. The judgment of the living nations seen here in Matthew 25.5. The judgment of the unsaved at the great white throne. Rev.20Dr. Mitchell explains these five separate judgments before moving into Matthew 25 verses 31 thru 46.Helping us to grow in the knowledge of truth, on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, here is Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 25:31.
Since God is righteous, he also judges righteously. So how does he judge us not guilty, when we are in fact guilty?Music Credit: Johann Sebastian Bach, Trio from Brandenburg Concerto, No. 1, Movement 4

In this episode of Brothers Just Searching, we dive into 2 Peter 2:4–9, where Peter lays out three powerful examples of God's righteous judgment on sin and rebellion. We explore how these historical moments—including judgment on angels, the ancient world, and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah—serve as warnings for today, especially concerning false prophets and teachers who distort the true message of Jesus Christ and Him crucified. We also discuss the hope woven through these verses: that God knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and that anyone can escape judgment by turning back to Jesus, rejecting false doctrine, and holding fast to the truth of the Gospel.Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow us on Facebook also leave us a review If You Like To donate to this podcast you can through cashapp or email us at brothersjustsearchingpodcast@gmail.com for more infoAnything is appreciated Cashapp infoBJSmediaThis podcast is brought to you by BJS MEDIA.

Will Storr talks about his book The Status Game with EconTalk host Russ Roberts, exploring how our deep need for respect and recognition shapes our behavior. The conversation delves into how we constantly judge others and compare ourselves to them, the pain of losing status, and the freedom of escaping judgment. Storr and Roberts discuss how status drives everything from workplace hierarchies to social media, and how aging can shift the games we choose to play. They also examine tribalism, moral outrage, and politics through the lens of status, suggesting that much of what we call morality or justice reflects our desire for recognition.
In today's episode, I and Lorna take a deep dive into one of the most emotionally charged struggles riders face: caring too much about what other people, especially trainers, think. A listener asks how to move on from a negative trainer experience in the past that still affects her riding years later. And that's where this episode gets powerful. I and Lorna unpack: Why your mind holds onto old memories How past criticism can shape your confidence today And most importantly, how to change the emotional impact of those memories so they stop controlling you You'll learn the exact process Lorna uses with clients to release old judgments, shift the “submodalities” of a memory, and take back control of how you feel. This episode isn't just helpful, it's transformational. If old comments, past trainers, or past mistakes still hold space in your mind… this one is for you. Tools & Techniques You'll Learn: How to alter visual “sub-modalities” (size, color, distance, speed) How to reduce the emotional charge of a memory Auditory techniques to silence or soften a trainer's voice Kinesthetic tools to remove unwanted tension from the body The simple but powerful act of disassociating to reduce overwhelm Anchoring a new emotional state to replace the old one (And yes, I literally walk through an example with my own memory; you'll learn a lot just listening to the process.) Quotes Worth Remembering: “You created the memory, that means you can also change it.” “You're not changing the past. You're changing the emotional meaning of it.” “Disassociate, change the picture, remove the feeling, and suddenly the memory loses its power.” “The moment you shift the sub-modalities, the memory cannot stay the same.” Resources Mentioned:
Judging Others 7Judge not, that you be not judged. 2For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4Or how can you say to your brother, Let me take the speck out of your eye, when there is the log in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. 6Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. ... The Golden Rule 12So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

During the government shutdown, Agriculture Secretary Brook Rollins has been reviewing data from 29 states administering the food stamp program. Rollins's review has found EBT cards that have been carrying balances of more than $10,000. It found cards that haven't been used in years. It found cards issued to people who never existed. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), as food stamps are formally known, has been around since the 1930s but ballooned during the Biden administration years and now serves 42 million people in the US, one-eighth of the population. What's happening? Is the program running efficiently and properly? Will the shutdown really “starve children” as the Trump administration's critics are charging?Joining host Eric Eggers on The Drill Down podcast is returning guest Andrew McClenahan from the United Council on Welfare Fraud. McClenahan's organization represents state-level investigators of welfare fraud. And it turns out there is a lot of it to investigate.

In Ep 395 Ken and Dave take on everything From Vegas hangovers and busted government budgets to Georgia's voter apathy and one Athens idiot who thought dressing like a Nazi was clever, they're calling out the week's dumbest decisions. Toss in hurricanes, bad football predictions, and politicians pretending to care about the SNAP crisis, and you've got another round of sharp takes, dark humor, and a healthy dose of disbelief. Vegas Road Trip & Travel: Reflecting on the high cost and crowds of Las Vegas and messy TSA lines at Atlanta Hartsfield Airport. Cruise Ship Gambling: Friends earning free future cruises by gambling heavily on board. Halloween Policy Debate: Discussing the controversial policy requiring registered sex offenders to check in with law enforcement or report to the police station on Halloween night, questioning the consistency of safety policies. Georgia Elections & Turnout: Analyzing the poor voter turnout in rural Georgia for the Public Service Commission (PSC) election and local city council/SPLOST races. World Series Baseball: Commentary on the Blue Jays, the crazy 18-inning game, and Shohei Ohtani's nine times reaching base. Government Shutdown & Filibuster: Debating Donald Trump's call for the nuclear option (50+1 Senate votes) to reopen the government and the value of returning to the true filibuster format. Georgia vs. Florida Football: Previewing the game, noting the spread, and discussing how teams often play harder after a coach firing. Hurricane Melissa Fallout: Examining the Cat 5 storm that laid waste to Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti, noting the high death toll in Haiti due to poor infrastructure. Georgia SNAP Benefits Crisis: Analyzing the loss of food assistance for 1.5 million Georgians during the government shutdown and debating whether the state should use emergency reserves to cover the benefits. Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) Appearances: Discussing her scheduled interviews on The View and Real Time with Bill Maher, and her recent criticism of Republicans lacking a healthcare plan. Georgia Senate Race Polls: Early polling shows Mike Collins with an advantage, but 40% of Republican voters remain undecided, suggesting the race will be decided by campaign spending. Prince Andrew Stripped of Titles: Discussing King Charles's decision to strip Prince Andrew of all royal titles and his eviction from Royal Lodge, which may set him up for further prosecution. Athens Nazi Costume Incident: Analyzing the highly publicized altercation in Athens involving a man in a full SS uniform who allegedly smashed a beer pitcher into a woman's face, leading to felony aggravated assault charges. Most Stressed States in the Nation: Examining data showing Alaska as the most stressed state (high suicide rate, lack of sun) and Massachusetts as the least stressed, with Georgia ranking 32nd. Lowering the Voting Age: Rejecting Kamala Harris's suggestion to lower the voting age to 16 due to climate change concerns, instead advocating for raising the age of majority to 21. New York City Mayoral Race: Analyzing the strange political dynamics in the NYC election, involving Zohran Mamdami and Andrew Cumo and fears that New York City is heading toward communism.

Send us a textA top predator that “wastes” food and ends up feeding an entire ecosystem? That paradox sits at the heart of our latest exploration into polar bear behavior and the hidden scaffolding of the Arctic food web. We unpack new research estimating that each polar bear leaves roughly 300 kilograms of edible remains annually—amounting to millions of kilograms across the region—and why those leftovers are vital calories for Arctic foxes, ravens, gulls, snowy owls, and even wolves. By focusing on blubber for maximum energy return, polar bears inadvertently act as providers in a landscape where every calorie matters, and we trace how shrinking sea ice threatens not just bears but the scavengers who depend on their kills.From icy shores to living rooms, we then tackle a beloved belief: can dogs judge human character? A Kyoto University study with 40 pet dogs put that idea to the test using a generous-versus-selfish setup. The result: no reliable preference for the kind human, even after direct interaction. We break down what this means for canine social cognition, why food-based tasks may miss the mark, and how ethics limit what scientists can test. Rather than a simple moral radar, dogs may rely on a complex blend of context, prior reinforcement, and human cues that are hard to capture in a two-choice experiment.Along the way, we share field notes from polar bear country, practical insights for interpreting your dog's behavior without overreading the wag, and a clear view of how climate change reshapes energy flows you rarely hear about. If you care about wildlife science, animal behavior, or how small choices ripple through entire systems, this one offers fresh data and useful takeaways.Enjoy the show?

Episode #423: Ian Taylor is a Canadian photographer whose life shifted from the film industry to decades of work and travel across Southeast Asia. His first experience was with a government-sponsored Asian Studies program in the early 1990s. His early visits to Burma during the junta's “Visit Myanmar Year” left a strong impression, and he became involved for a short time in advertising there.By the late 1990s, Taylor had left advertising for photography, focusing on family portraits and NGO assignments across Asia. A formative volunteer trip to Bangladesh further deepened his commitment to humanitarian work, and led him back to Burma.Taylor left the country in 2015, but reconnected in 2023 through the Thailand-based Border Consortium (TBC). He soon embarked on a volunteer photo project in five refugee camps, describing them as “an active, bustling town with everything.” His photography resists exploitative “poverty porn” and favors portraits that reflect dignity and agency. “Every portrait, in some way, it's a collaboration.”Critical of the tourism industry's distortions, Taylor remains focused on authenticity, connection, and service. In his words: “If you could go to a holiday in the Maldives or something... well, I'd rather go [to a refugee camp]!”
“Why don't guys ever ask for the details?” That's the question that kicks off this laugh-out-loud episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where Sandy, JB, and Trisha dive deep into the hilarious differences between how men and women communicate—and what those differences reveal about us all. From Sandy's viral Instagram clip about men's “need-to-know” approach to life, to Trisha's passionate plea for more curiosity, the hosts unpack why guys seem content with headlines while women crave the full story. JB shares his own experience of catching up with old friends, joking that he needs AI to summarize their conversations because, “We just cover 30 topics in an hour, but never the details!” The episode takes a playful turn as the trio launches into their signature segment: “That's All I Need to Know About You.” Listeners will love the rapid-fire judgments—like JB's take on people who leave grocery carts in the parking lot (“Society would collapse if everyone was like you!”), Trisha's ban on truck nuts and Calvin stickers, and Sandy's hilarious observations about man buns, gym selfies, and specialty license plates.Memorable Quotes & Moments:“Girls read the whole article. Guys just want the summary.”“If you purposely make your car crazy loud, I need you to go away.”“Anytime someone says ‘You got it, boss,' I hear that. He's been in the penitentiary.”“If you've got more than three bumper stickers, I know everything I need to know about you.” Why Listen?If you've ever wondered why your partner doesn't ask follow-up questions, or if you secretly judge people by their bumper stickers, this episode is for you. It's relatable, witty, and packed with moments that will have you nodding along—or laughing out loud. Call to Action:Loved this episode?

In this sermon by Chris Romig, the focus is on Revelation chapter 10 and the "bittersweetness" of God's Word and Christian life as God's final judgments and promises unfold. Romig opens with a prayer for understanding and emphasizes the structure of Revelation: waves of judgments (seals, trumpets, bowls) interrupted by reflective pauses, with chapter 10 marking the longest interlude before the end. Romig highlights the vision of a mighty angel with an open scroll, symbolizing God's ownership over creation and the imminent fulfillment of His plan—there will be "no more delay." The concept of "mystery" in Scripture is clarified as something that will soon be revealed, especially the good news of Christ's return and the final setting right of the world. John is told to eat the scroll, echoing Old Testament prophets, which Romig interprets as internalizing God's Word—letting it transform one's life. The scroll tastes sweet, representing the joy found in God's promises, but turns bitter, reflecting the sorrow and burden of judgment and the consequences of sin. Romig urges believers to embrace both the sweetness and the bitterness of faith: to enjoy God's grace while feeling a deeper compassion and concern for those far from God. He closes by encouraging Christians to let God's Word shape them into bold witnesses, living with urgency and hope as they await God's final restoration.

And we'll also discuss the Body Count, pick Thingmen, and offer our Final Ratings. Does Ljósvetninga Saga have what it takes to stand up there with the giants like Njáls saga and Egils saga? Or will it stumble down to the middle of the pack? And who will we pick for thingmen from this saga where the line between good guys and bad isn't always so clear? There's only one way to find out!
