October marks the month of Edwardtide – a series of celebrations commemorating St Edward the Confessor, the King that ruled England in the 11th century for over two decades. Nowadays, he is remembered for three reasons: as one of the last Anglo-Saxon monarchs, for commissioning Westminster Abbey and for being the only English King canonised by a Pope. But does the historical record justify the cult of St Edward? Professor Tom Licence from the University of East Anglia joins Damian Thompson to discuss.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

The publican prayed for God's mercy, with humility accepting his state as a sinner. The Pharisee prayed differently by comparing his accomplishments with those of the publican. He justified himself. But in God's eyes, he displeased God. He was pleased with the humble publican.

Trade, tariffs, and the courts: On this month's episode of The Legal Impact, we examine the arguments behind a US Supreme Court case over extensive tariffs put in place by the Trump Administration in early 2025. Lower courts have ruled that the White House overstepped its authority under the law it used to justify the tariffs. But even if the Administration loses before the High Court, it has other legal tools at its disposal that it can use to impose tariffs, which may be less vulnerable to lawsuits.  

A sermon for October 26, 2025. Luke 18:9-14 Jesus told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and regarded others with contempt: "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus, `God, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all my income.' But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even look up to heaven, but was beating his breast and saying, `God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted."

Justified by Faith or by Works with Wesley Hazel

Jesus gives us a simple, practical model that we sinners can follow. It makes an eternal difference in our lives. One lie to reject. Two truths to acknowledge.

In this sermon, Pastor David Balla proclaims the heart of the Gospel: justification by grace through faith in Christ alone.From the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, we learn that true righteousness is not achieved by our works, but received through humble faith in Christ's mercy. This message powerfully echoes the Reformation truth that “the one who humbles himself will be exalted” (Luke 18:14, ESV).Join Pastor Balla as he expounds the difference between self-righteousness and repentance, and how the posture of the justified—kneeling in confession and rising in Christ's righteousness—defines the Christian life.If you find this sermon meaningful, consider supporting this ministry at: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalphWebsite: buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalph#JustifiedByFaith #LutheranPreaching #ReformationTruth #LCMS #GospelProclamation

How can sinners be righteous before a holy God? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten tackle Romans 3, unpacking covenant signs, the universal condemnation under the law, and the glorious truth of justification by faith in Christ alone. They explore why covenant blessings don't justify, how God remains faithful to his covenant, though there are apostates, and the various ways justification by faith alone has been denied throughout history and today.We hope you enjoy, and as usual, if you have any questions for Sermon B-Sides or anything else, email us at pastor@coramdeochurch.org.

In their weekly Penn State football chat, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise ponder how meaningful the Nittany Lions results for the rest of the season will be. Will more struggles under interim coach Terry Smith from OC Andy Kotelnicki and DC Jim Knowles further validate James Franklin's firing as coach? Or has the move given the team permission to lose focus on 2025? Do Ethan Grunkemeyer, Kaytron Allen, Dani Dennis-Sutton and Co. have any hope of upsetting Ryan Day and Ohio State or Curt Cignetti and Indiana? Do Matt Rhule's results at Nebraska for the season matter to his candidacy to replace Franklin? Or will Joe Paterno supporters want him to take over the Lions regardless? And what are the chances under-the-radar names like Pat Fitzgerald, Kliff Kingsbury and Matt Campbell emerge as candidates in the search? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comTitus 3Believers are reminded to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, and to be ready for every good work. Paul encourages gentleness, peace, and humility toward all people. Paul then reminds Titus of their past, how they were once foolish and disobedient, but emphasizes the kindness and mercy of God, who saved them not by works but through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. Justified by grace, believers are called to devote themselves to doing what is good. Paul warns against foolish controversies and divisive individuals who reject correction. These people are to be rejected. The letter closes with personal instructions and a call for believers to be productive and to meet urgent needs, ensuring that their lives reflect the fruit of grace. We were once lost, ruled by pride, anger, and selfish desires. We remember this not to shame ourselves, but to remain humble. God saved us through His astounding mercy. He washed us clean. He gave us new life through the Holy Spirit. We did nothing to earn it. We now live differently. We speak with kindness, choosing peace over arguments and divisive impulses. We pursue what is good, caring for others with urgency. We meet needs without delay, showing the world what grace has done in us. We remain devoted to good works, reflecting the goodness of God not only in belief but in action. We live purposefully, expecting others to be loving unifiers, because we have all been changed. Ever-present God, thank You for saving us, not because of what we have done, but because of who You are. Your kindness changed everything. You washed us clean. You gave us new life through the Holy Spirit. Help us to live in a way that honors that mercy. Teach us to speak with grace, to act with compassion, and to pursue what is good. Keep us from arguments that divide and distractions that weaken our identity in Jesus Christ. Let our lives reflect the beauty of Your grace and Your powerful renewal. May good works flow from hearts transformed by You. Thought Questions: How does your attitude toward the governing authorities and powerful entities show others the value of Jesus and His kingdom in your life?  Has the Holy Spirit renewed you, and has He been poured upon you richly through Jesus Christ? How will your life show this beautiful truth? Do Christians sometimes dispute and divide in ways that displease Jesus? How do you handle disagreements to ensure unity and love endure?

"The Very Day" If you're wondering if the Connecticut-born Grammyt Award winning keyboardist and composer grew up with music in the house, the answer is yes--his father Joe Porcaro was a renowned jazz drummer who played with everyone from Sinatra to Stan Getz to Madonna. He also played on hundreds of film and television scores including The Wild Bunch, I Dream Of Jeannie and Edward Scissorhands. He also founded the Percussion Institute of Technology and later the drum department at the Los Angeles Music Academy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_College_of_Music). So, yeah music was the lifesblood of the Porcaro household and at very young ages, Steve and his brothers Mike and Jeff went into the family business. How early of an age you might be wondering? Well, at 17 when most of us were finishing our last year of high school and thinking about who and who wouldn't go with us to the prom, Steve was playing with Gary Wright's band on his 1976 Dream Weaver tour. A year later while most of us were fumbling our way through our first year of college, Steve and his brothers were in Boz Scaggs's band. In 1978 Steve and his brother Jeff along with a few other session playing pals formed their own band called Toto. How'd that work out? Well, 50 million albums later, I'd say it worked out very well, thank you. From "Hold The Line" to "Rosanna" to "Africa" Toto had a procession of hits, became one of the biggest bands on the planet and went on to compose the music for David Lynch's Dune. Steve left the fold in 1987 and went on to compose and score for countless film and television projects, including From Dusk Til Dawn 2, Eddie Murphy's Metro and he did all the original music for Justified. This is just a partial list, by the way--he also wrote the song "Human Nature" which Michael Jackson recorded on his Thriller album, the beginning of several compositions he wrote for Jackson to record. Considered one of the pioneers of analog synths, Porcaro's inventive loops appeared on works by everyone from Elton John to Don Henley. When it comes to artists he's collaborated with, here's a list that's going to knock you out: Hall and Oates, Earth Wind and Fire, Sheena Easton, Diana Ross, Warren Zevon, Jefferson Airplane, Yes, and Michael McDonald. Also a partial list. And speaking of Yes, Porcaro was good friends with Yes's Chris Squire and played in his band The Chris Squire Experiment. Porcaro's second solo album The Very Day is one of 2025's real bright spots. Featuring guest appearances by Stan Lynch, Jude Cole, Michael McDonald, Gardner Cole and his Toto pal David Paich, The Very Day is a stirring song cycle of effortless pop melodies, rootsy grooves and insanely catchy hooks. It's pure magic. And this conversation felt the same.
