Sun therapy is all about near-infrared. You want to be happy in the winter? What you're missing is not so much ultraviolet light as it is the 70% of the sun experientially which is near-infrared. Ultraviolet light is a double-edged sword; it's doing a lot of good for the body such as helping Vitamin D production but it also ionizes radiation which rips apart your DNA. So many people have claimed to have brought balance and resolved their S.A.D.s with Sauna Space's near-infrared light therapy. Beyond it being a fire light and a targeted therapy light. near-infrared is a happy light. - Brian Richards Wellness + Wisdom Episode 525 Brian Richards, the founder of SaunaSpace, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom podcast to talk about the benefits of sauna and infrared light therapy, the difference between far-infrared and near-infrared red light, how blue light negatively impacts our health, and how to use light therapy for seasonal affective disorder. What if healing physical and mental health was easy and accessible for everyone from the comfort of their home? By the end of this episode, you will have a full understanding of the benefits of infrared light therapy, why you should avoid blue light first thing in the morning, and why you should include sauna in your wellness routine. SaunaSpace Save 10% Off Your Order With "JOSH10" ThermaLight® technology combines the finest tungsten filaments, mouth-blown red-stained glass, and years of engineering to produce a full-spectrum infrared light that mimics the best of nature. Benefits: Compact and portable, hypoallergenic, tool-free assembly, wheelchair accessible, machine-washable cover, minimalist design, ZERO EMFs. All saunas have the same goal: to raise your core body temperature enough to jump-start its natural healing processes. Traditional saunas use steam, fire, or electric heaters to make the air in the sauna hot, which eventually heats up your body from the outside in. Infrared saunas tap into the science of light to help you sweat faster and more comfortably. Why Near-Infrared Saunas? Unlike the traditional methods, near-infrared (NIR) light works with your body's biology to create radiant heat—from the inside out. By using near infrared's shorter wavelengths in a way that mimics natural sunlight, the light penetrates deeply to raise your core temperature faster. Near-infrared saunas give you: Ultrafast heat therapy Comfortable air temperatures Built-in light therapy Faster sauna sessions Save 10% Off Your Order With "JOSH10"   Listen To Episode 525 As Brian Richards Uncovers: [1:30] Discovering The Benefits Of Sauna And Light Therapy SaunaSpace - use the code "JOSH10" for 10% off Brain, heart, gut = mind, consciousness, will.

That's not designed to happen. What does the sunrise look like? It's red and orange. That's because in the beginning there's only near-infrared and red. You can actually stare at the sun on a flat horizon for a couple of minutes without any risk. In the first few minutes, there is no blue or ultra-violet, it's all read. So we get that in the beginning and the rest of our day is good." - Brian Richards   Put Yourself First "If you really want to help others, you need to help yourself and continue to put yourself first.

December 15, 2019 Most agree that there are 613 commands in the Old Testament and 1050 commandments in the New Testament. How many do we have to keep to get into heaven? This is a question that many people want to know the answer to. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus has steered clear of the commandments in the Old Testament. He said that those who are in the kingdom would not be those who are rich in spirit and self-righteous. Instead, he stated that those who are weak and lowly would be blessed. Then, he said that they would be the salt and light of the world. Others would see them and their good works and turn around to glorify God. Can you imagine how difficult this would be for a Jew? But what about the Law? Why was it given if it was just going to be thrown out when the Messiah comes? Is it still relevant? This is the question Jesus answers for us in the text we will study. Matthew 5:17--20 (ESV) --- 17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Not Abolishing The Law Many of us have heard that we are not under the Old Law anymore (Rom 7), or we have heard that Jesus made the Old Law obsolete (Heb 10). Why, then, does Jesus say that he has not come to abolish the Law and the Prophets? The word abolish means to put an end to, destroy, or terminate. So Jesus is saying that he did not come to remove the Law or to decrease the value of the law. He goes on to say in verse 19, "Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great." Without any doubt, Jesus did not come to bring the Old Law to an end. The Old Law still has value. It could even be said that it has more value. Jesus places a very high value on all of the word of God. We see this throughout his ministry. Here he says that it is eternal. In John 10:35, he says that it cannot be broken. In Matthew 22:32, he uses the tense of a word to make a statement about God's nature. Jesus places much value on the Old Testament because it is eternal, it cannot be broken, and it reveals the nature of our creator. Fulfilling It In verse 17, Jesus said, "I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them." The Law and the Prophets are not just a list of rules. They reveal God's plan to redeem us. Jesus is saying that they were given to point the way to him. The Law and Prophets help us understand God as Jesus fulfilled them. (Heb 10:7, John 5:39, Luke 24:27, 24:44). We have seen how he fulfills the promises and the prophets in the first four chapters of Matthew. He also fulfills every book in some way, as we see on Sunday nights. Moreover, he fulfills the ceremonial law. Have you ever wondered why all of that is there? Jesus is the temple, the high priest, the sacrifice, the door, the bread, the lamp, the mercy seat, every kind of offering, and he is represented in every feast. It is incredible all that Jesus does to fulfill all of the Old Testament. The Law and the Prophets are not abolished. They reveal all that Jesus would come and do. But they also reveal what God's people ought to do to be like him. So We Can Keep It With Righteous Hearts So, which of the 613 commandments are we supposed to keep? According to Jesus, we have to keep all of them. Is that what he meant when he said our righteousness must be greater than the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees! If that is true, we need to mark our calendars to make trips to Jerusalem three times a year. We need to go there and worship at the temple if we are going to keep the commands. But that can't be the case because he knew that the temple would be destroyed and the Jewish religion would cease to exist (Matthew 24). In what way will we keep the commands of the Old Testament to a greater extent than the Pharisees and scribes? When we think about this, it seems hard to believe. The Pharisees and scribes are some of the most religious and the most moral people of their time. They had rules that would make sure that they did not break any laws in the Old Testament. How could any of us compete with them when we don't have the spiritual training and upbringing that they have? It seems impossible. Jesus is not concerned about looking righteous. He is concerned with being righteous. That is why tax collectors and sinners flock to him. They want to be truly righteous. What does true righteousness look like? The answer lies in the following sections of this Sermon. In the rest of this sermon, Jesus outlines what it means to exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees. We see five examples in the rest of this chapter. Jesus points to the command not to murder, and he says, "But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, 'You fool!' will be liable to the hell of fire." Notice how Jesus takes this commandment and boils it down. The commandment to not commit murder is one of the Ten Commandments. Jesus restricts us even more by saying we cannot get angry or insult our brother. When we think about the cause of murder, we see that the seed that starts it all is either anger, indifference, or hatred. So Jesus says that we will cut out these feelings and exceed the scribes and Pharisees. He goes on to say how we can cut out all kinds of seeds to become more righteous than the scribes and Pharisees: Lust, divorce, swearing, and resisting evil people with hatred for them. All fo these are seeds that lead to sin. In Chapter 6, he discusses overcoming our desire to glorify self, to trust in wealth, and to worry about this life. In Chapter 7, he helps us overcome pride. All of these sections are discussing issues in our hearts. If we can address these heart problems, many other issues will resolve themselves. Growing in all of these areas requires us to have different hearts. This is why I turn to the Sermon on the Mount for new Christians. Jesus says that it is not about the external obedience to commands. We aren't trying to keep up a checklist of good and bad things we have done. We want hearts that desire to please God and to show a love for our fellow man. Jesus did not come to remove the law, but to create a people who would genuinely pursue keeping the intention of the law with all of their hearts. When we see the 613 commands, we need to understand the goodness of God in that command and strive to be like him. Why Would We Keep It? Why would anyone sign up to do everything to that extreme? If we were iffy about keeping 613 commandments, how do we feel now that we know Jesus commands even greater obedience? Why would we go beyond the Old Law and pursue a life without anger, lust, betrayal, lying, or retaliation? That seems like such a hard life to live. It seems impossible. 1. The Commands Are Good The first thing that makes us want to commit our lives to pursue these commands is our understanding that these are good commands. We don't like unrighteous anger when we are on the receiving end. We don't like people lusting after our spouses or breaking their marriage covenant with us. We don't like people who glorify themselves. We wouldn't want someone to deceive us in some way or to retaliate against us. We know these things are evil, and we would enjoy a world without hatred or sin. God said in Deuteronomy 10:12-13 that these things he is commanding them are for their good. He was trying to give them commands that would help them to live happily in the land. The last thing any of us want is for the world to do whatever is right in their own eyes. We want to do what is right in our eyes, but we don't want others to do what is right in their eyes. Do we see the hypocrisy? We ought to pursue this greater righteousness because we realize that it is the way to a truly better life. 2. We Are Blessed The second reason why we ought to commit our lives to this new way of life is that God is offering us something that we do not deserve. None of us are worthy of the blessings of this kingdom, but God makes salvation readily available to his worst enemies. Romans 8:1--4 (ESV) --- 1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. He doesn't save us because we are righteous. We want to be righteous because he has saved us. Until we have that understanding, we will lack the heart that truly repents and wants to please God no matter the cost. 3. God Is Helping Us Know Him We want to live this way because we know Jesus did. He did all of the law from his heart so that the promised blessings will come true. What faithfulness! What steadfastness! We can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that our God will deliver all that he promises to those who love him and want to do his will. If he says it is worth the trouble, we can rest assured that he knows what he is talking about. Jesus shows us the way, and he will help us along the way. As we suffer through this life, trying to be what God has called us to be, we will find that God is on our side. He is cheering us on and working to help us along the way. When we stumble, he wants to pick us up, and he is encouraging us to press on with faith in him. Conclusion The Pharisees would tell us that they were keeping the law, but they were struggling with significant heart problems (the love of money, the love of self, etc.). They would ignore the commands of God to pursue what their hearts loved most. Do we exceed them in righteousness? Do we have hearts that desire to do the will of God? It is for our good, not just for our salvation. Through sincere obedience, we can come to know God's righteousness and his love for us. Then we can share that understanding with others by living for God.

Jason Fried thinks deeply about collaboration, productivity and the nature of work. He's the co-founder of project management platform Basecamp. Founded in 1999, Basecamp has been recognised by Forbes as one of America’s best small businesses. His 2010 TED talk on ‘Why Work Doesn’t Happen At Work’ has been viewed over 5 million times. He’s also the co-author of Rework, which is about new ways to conceptualize working and creating, as well as the brand new ‘It Doesn’t Have To Be Crazy At Work’, in which he rejects the prevailing notion that long hours, aggressive hustle, and "whatever it takes" are required to run a successful business today. The Economist called the book funny, well-written and iconoclastic and by far the best thing on management published this year. As somebody who shares many of Jason’s philosophies on work, I really enjoyed this conversation. Organisations are projected to invest US$2T into digital transformation by 2022 to make them more efficient, but they could reap what I would argue are vastly greater rewards, not only in terms of productivity but in terms of employee wellness, if they just changed the way they work today. Jason and I unpacked many lessons on productivity from his book, including: Why is everybody ‘so, so busy’? Why more people doesn’t mean faster or better outcomes; and A handful of simple changes that you can make today to radically increase your productivity and enjoyment of work and life With that, I bring you the one and only, Jason Fried. Topics Discussed: Why being busy has become a badge of honour The dangers of not getting enough sleep The peril of managers and meetings Brook’s Law Why 80 hour work weeks aren’t spent actually working Facilitating outcomes with a remotely distributed team Jason’s notion of a ‘calm company’ Why Basecamp has rejected hundreds of offers from venture capitalists and investors Why raising capital shouldn’t be conflated with success for startups Setting realistic deadlines So-called perks that are designed to keep people in the office How to defend your time Commitment, not consensus Using work as an excuse not to live Overcollaboration in the workplace Outsourcing accountability and blame How to say no Jason’s rituals and routines Show Notes: Basecamp.com (project and team communications software) Get the book: https://www.amazon.com/Doesnt-Have-Be-Crazy-Work/dp/0062874780 Twitter: @jasonfried Medium: @jasonfried Jason’s TED Talk:  https://www.ted.com/talks/jason_fried_why_work_doesn_t_happen_at_work?language=en Why We Sleep book: https://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Sleep-Unlocking-Dreams/dp/1501144316  --- Employee to Entrepreneur podcast on Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/employeetoentrepreneurpodcast  Listen to Future Squared on Apple Podcasts @ goo.gl/sMnEa0   Also available on: Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Stitcher and Soundcloud  Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski  Instagram: www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski   Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz   Steve Glaveski: www.steveglaveski.com   Medium: www.medium.com/@steveglaveski   NEW Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/

What is a universal law? How many are there and what do they all mean? Which ones am I already using? How come my life is not flowing... am I not 'using' the Laws properly?! What does it mean to 'embody' a Law? Why are so many spiritual people grumpy about The Secret? What's Einstein […] The post 03 UNIVERSAL LAWS appeared first on Soul Doctor.

What does Justification mean? Explore the New Perspective on Paul and E.P. Sanders' views on Justification. Sanders holds that Justification is a gift of God and the Jews believed this. His view is that the Jews were concerned with staying in the good graces of God. Sanders believes the function of the Law was to keep the Jews on the straight and narrow. He feels that Paul taught Christ could give the people higher quality than what the Law of Moses offered. It is a difference of degree rather than a difference of kind. But if true, why was Paul so negative about the Law? Why did Jewish people reject this? Consider that Jesus justifies for a purpose - for the kind of transformation which leads to life in heaven. Justification works out the promise of eternal life in Christ. Consider that the New Perspective on Paul does not go deep enough into the nature of Justification. Explore N.T. Wright's views on Justification. He holds that Justification is entirely the gift of God. His view is that the Covenant community of Israel was defined and held together by the Law and that the Law shaped the character of God's people. In Romans 7:9 Paul states, "I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive and I died . . ." Wright says that when the Law was given, Israel fell from grace and in a sense repeated the Fall of Adam. He believes Christ comes as the New Adam to take the burden away and is the New Israel. Was Israel's failure inevitable or accidental? The problem is that Christ cannot be identified with Israel. Wright holds that Israel was destroyed as a nation because it bore humanity's sins on itself. Critics of Sanders and Wright point out that individual salvation is essentially ruled out. Wright's view emphasizes baptism which integrates a person into the Covenant and the Christian life becomes one of maintaining your grace of baptism. Consider that without repentance, faith, and a changed life, baptism itself has no meaning. Justification must be seen as part of our relationship with God. Consider that for Judaism, being a member of the Covenant and a member of the nation is the same thing.

07-31-11 - Why God Gave Us the Law - Why did God give us His law if it cannot save us? The law does not create sin, sin was already in the world before we were given God's commandments. It came along side the sin that was already here. Pastor Brad
