Is there something more than this life? This world is full of crises, conflicts, difficulties, and troubles, but this world will not last. No matter your age, your earthly life is slowly slipping away. This is why Jesus encourages us not to store up treasures on this earth but to invest in heaven. In this 250th episode of Candid Conversations, Dr. Michael Youssef joins Jonathan for a father-son conversation about his new book, Heaven Awaits. This book is written to help you understand the future promise of heaven in Christ Jesus. Explore what the Bible says about heaven and envision the wonders and glories awaiting those who believe in Christ. Heaven is real, far more real than your earthly experience right now. To ask Jonathan a question or connect with the Candid community, visit https://LTW.org/CandidFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/candidpodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/candidpodTwitter: https://twitter.com/thecandidpodTRANSCRIPT: This transcript recounts Candid Conversations with Jonathan Youssef Episode 250: Understanding the Future Promise of Heaven: Dr. Michael Youssef[00:01] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Today, we have a very special guest in Dr. Michael Youssef. And he comes on our program because he's written another book. And we have you on quite often because you write a lot of books.[00:17] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Thank you. And I'm glad to be in your Dr. Youssef show now, Dr. Jonathan Youssef.[00:23] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: And we have to change the title.[00:24] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Congratulations.[0:25] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Thank you very much. You have written a book on heaven. This is your first book on heaven as far as I'm aware. Tell us about why.[00:39] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF I've thought of heaven since I was a young man. I've never really been away from that thought. But also I am seeing so much confusion, so much confusion—not just in the world at large, which you can understand the devil sold us a lie in order to deceive people, but the churches are now confused, pastors are confused about heaven. And the world basically entered into their hearts, into their thinking, and everything is about this life, this life, this life, which is a very tragic situation that we find ourselves in as a Church of Jesus Christ. And my biggest concern is to alert and wake up the bride of Christ as to their greatest day, and it's yet to come.Where you're going to spend eternity is so important. In fact, the very first story I open up the book with was back in 1977. In February of '77, my wife and I and two little ones came here from Australia. But we've done a lot of research finding out where we're going to live, what the country is about, what the culture is about, and so on, and this is just for a place we're going to live for two years, which we did, in Pasadena.And how much more should we be doing those same preparations and research for where we're going to be forever? I mean, just think. People can't fathom that. Because they can't fathom it, they take it out of their mind forever and ever and ever. [02:34] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: —Gives you a little bit of a buzz, doesn't it, just the thought of it. Yeah, because everything we know comes to an end. This is the only thing I think we can consider has no end.[02:44] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Exactly. And the point I make even in the early part of the book is that there is only one ticket that takes you to heaven, and that is the ticket that's stamped with the blood of Jesus. I say there are a lot of fake tickets out there. that have been handed by Satan through Hollywood, through false churches, through false teachers and false preachers. [03:12] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Or your own mind.[03:13] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Or your own mind. But those are the tickets that are not going to get you to heaven. Only the one that's stamped with the blood of Jesus Christ. On what basis do I have the confidence that I'm going to heaven? The blood of Jesus Christ, period. My ticket's stamped with that blood. [03:26] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: That leads us to the next topic, which is let's talk a little bit about the misconceptions out there, and you can blend the two—but coming from the Hollywood mentality. Are those the same as what you see in churches that have lost their way? Are they different?[03:53] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Slightly different, but they lead to the same hell.[03:57] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Right. They go to the same place. [03:58] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Because Hollywood and the New Age movement, even with this lady who supposedly died and went to heaven and came back and she was interviewed by Oprah, and she said to her, she said, “Jesus told me He's not going to judge anybody. Live any which way you want.”And then Oprah said, “Well, if I think Jesus is as cool as I think He is, He would have said that to you.”[04:21] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Contradicting Himself? [overlapping voices][04:26] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Yeah. And so the fact that everybody is going to go to heaven is absolute lie from the pit of hell. But then you go into the other side of things in some traditional churches and some mainline churches who said if you're good you go to heaven. Well, I'm good. Sure, I'm not perfect, but I'm good, so everybody sees themselves as good. [04:50] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: According to whose standard, right?[04:51] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF And they are contradicting the Bible, because the Bible said no one is good. I had an email came third-hand to me. A guy said, “I love that statement on page 47,” and I still remember it because he said, “You said only bad people in heaven. The only good person in heaven is Jesus.”And those are the redeemed people who recognize they're sinners and they cannot make it to heaven without Jesus. And that's what really I meant by it. But he said, “That just gave me such confidence and comfort to know that I'm redeemed by the blood of Christ and that's the only way I'm going to heaven.”And so I'm so glad so many people are now sending me comments and saying how much this book has encouraged them in their walk with Christ. And the whole reason—not only to refute all these falsehoods—but another reason for writing the book is I want to put people on the right track to realize that heaven is not, well, in the by and by when I die, but heaven is now. Heaven influences my thoughts, decisions, investments, and money—where I put my money. Is it in heaven or is the inflation going to eat it up? And so all these are very important decisions.C. S. Lewis made a statement years ago that impacted me, has been for nearly fifty years since I read it. He said, you know, they talk about “Oh, he's so heavenly minded, he's of no earthly good.” I've heard that so many times, even back in the sixties, seventies, and he said if you examine history, you find that only those who were heavenly minded were of any earthly good and he goes on to give examples. I mean, I think Lord Shaftesbury, who impacted the culture in England probably like very few people said, “There was not a day went by without me thinking of heaven.” And that's what caused him to be a reformist. Wilberforce fought for forty years to outlaw slavery. That's because of the thought of heaven.And so anybody who says, “Well, heaven is just going to be distracting from what you're doing now,” absolutely lies.[07:15] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: No, it's a driving force.[07:16] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Exactly. And I tell people all the time, unashamedly, I work, and I work harder at seventy-five than I did when I was forty-five or twenty-five, and simply because I live for one thing: hearing those words from Jesus's lips, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”[07:36] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: There's also the misconception that it can be earned, you can do enough good works. Not necessarily about being a good person, but that the works are sort of counterbalancing you in this either sort of a karma sense or a works righteousness from a theological mindset.[07:56] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF This is as old as my ancestors, the ancient Egyptians.[08:00] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: It might be as old as the Garden.[08:03] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Probably. But I remember even growing up in Egypt and studying Egyptian pharaonic history and seeing some of the pictures that go back five thousand years, and the scale. And the scale was held by one of the gods.[08:20] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Like a weight scale.[08:21] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF A weight scale, yeah. And you see here's your good deeds versus your bad deeds and you've got to make the good deeds outweigh the bad deeds. But again, another lie from the pit of Satan's hell. And we need to be absolutely certain that people understand that you're not going to heaven based on anything you've done, but it's based on the grace of God that He has given you through Jesus Christ. Period.Then the rewards in heaven are a whole different story. And that requires faithfulness if you want to be rewarded. There are five crowns in the Bible it talks about. Faithfulness, there's a crown for those who love His appearing. There's all kinds of crowns. And those are not crowns we will just kind of put on our heads, but the crowns that we will take and lay at the feet of Jesus in our gratitude and thanksgiving for saving us.[09:23] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: I think a lot of people like to imagine and picture what heaven looks like. Fill in some of the gaps for people who have maybe an incomplete view. There's the picture of the sitting on a cloud playing a harp, wearing a robe, singing nonstop, just being bored.[09:47] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Right. It's medieval art.[09:49] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Exactly.[09:51] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF The cherubic, fat kids—[09:53] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Yeah, we'll all be fat babies.[09:54] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF And absolutely it is absolute falsehood. And I'm not even big on these so-called heavenly tourism. Why do I listen to somebody who says they died and came back when I—Paul himself, when he was taken into heaven, he said, “I'm not allowed to even talk about it.” And when I have the real deal, I have Jesus, who tells me exactly what heaven is like.[10:23] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: That's all you need.[10:24] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF And that's what I do in the book, Heaven Awaits. I stick with the Word of God. I see people go off the rails when they deviate, and so my focus is the Word of God. I'm always having people on social media ask me, am I a Calvinist, and I Arminian, am I a dispensationalist, a postmillennialist, a premillennialist. I'm none of these. I'm a Bible-believing Christian—that is, if it's in the book of God I'm going to believe it and preach it, but not try to be a follower of a man theory. I follow Jesus and I try to focus on that until the Lord takes me home. I will not deviate from it, no matter how much the pressure is put on me.[11:14] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: All right, so let's fill in some of the pictures for people. Let's talk about our bodies. There's a lot of concepts. We can even take a step future back, the idea of soul sleep or … Fill in a little bit of those gaps for us. [11:35] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Sure. Well, this is again following some man's theory, theological theory.[11:43] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Or misinterpretation of texts.[11:46] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF But you know when you think about this, so much thing about the end times eschatology now is driven by a theory that was devised by a man in Plymouth, England, in 1825 by the name of John Nelson Darby. Most of them would not know this, but that's what they are. They are doing only following somebody, you know, chart. I follow the Bible. I stick with the Word of God. And there is no soul sleep in the Bible. The Bible talks about sleep of the believer. This is to indicate that it's temporary. Jesus died, but we sleep. He took our death so that when we die, we only sleep—it's a temporary thing because immediately our soul goes into heaven, according to 1 Corinthians chapter 15, and Paul says it's not going to be floating souls in heaven. When the disciples of Jesus were in the Mount of Transfiguration, they didn't see the soul of Elijah and the soul of Moses; they saw them in a glorified body. In fact, Peter was so ecstatic, he wanted to hang in there for a long time. [13:02] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Let's camp here for a bit.[13:03] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Yeah. And so these are glorified bodies in heaven. When we die, there is a body that's prepared for us in heaven. It's a body like Jesus's body after the resurrection. And those are bodies that are totally righteous and holy, and therefore, we would be able to see the face of God when Moses couldn't see the face of God, but we will. Because we can never see the face of God in this body.[13:34] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Those bodies are indestructible and not ravaged by the effects of the Fall and sin.[13:42] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF In fact, I think it's the mercy of God that Moses did not see the face of God. He would be incinerated because in this sinful body we can't do it. But in the glorified body that is immediately prepared for us as soon as we enter heaven in a glorified body, we will be able to see and do and have no physical limitation, no pain, no suffering. And all of those promises in the Scripture are very clear. [14:12] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: I don't remember reading it in the book, but I mean there's a sense that there will be gardening and working and building and we'll be active. We're not just sitting around.[14:25] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF No. In fact, John said in Revelation “and the servants to serve Him.” And the Bible says that we're going to reign and rule with Christ. Think of the universe, and our God is sitting on the rim of the universe right now, ruling and reigning, and we're going to be participating in that. It's mindboggling. Sometimes I let my mind soar, but then I bring myself back to reality.[14:48] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Levitate for a moment.[14:49] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF But yeah, it's incredible when you think about it. We will be working. We will be serving, and we'll be doing great things for God. We're praising Him, of course, thanking Him. I just try to imagine that moment and I get so overwhelmed I want to go.[15:05] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Let's talk a little bit about fears and perspectives, the things that can kind of creep in and the enemy can try and steal—[15:14] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF One of the things that also is prevalent, particularly among those so-called “progressive” churches or liberal churches, I'll never forget thirty-five years ago I was having a discussion with one of those so-called “liberal”—ministers in one of those churches and we were talking about heaven. And he said, “How arrogant of you to think that you're good enough to go to heaven.”I said, “That's exactly the falsehood that you believe, and that's you think a person is going to heaven based on his good, how good he is or she is.” But I only have the confidence because Jesus promised it. And that is really the most important thing that we need to emphasis. People don't think that we are just full of ourselves. We think we're better than everybody else. We're going to heaven and you're not. No, no, no, no, no. I'm only assured of heaven because Jesus said so. He promised it. And God keeps His promises.[16:16] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Despite my sinful nature, despite—[16:20] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Yeah. In fact, it's because of my acknowledging of my sinful nature and my need for salvation.[16:25] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Yeah. To your point, it's not good people in heaven; it's bad people in heaven who had the goodness of Christ because He covers us.[16:31] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF We're born again. [16:32] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Yeah. And let's move to that because you have a chapter on what does it mean to be born again and looking at Nicodemus. Talk to us a little bit about—Because the question does remain, well then, who is in heaven? And I know we talked a little bit about that earlier, but let's fill that picture out.[16:49] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Those who are born again. What does it mean to be born again? That's very important. That's the message I take to evangelistic events and when I preach. It's a very important message. Because to be born physically means you're alive physically. And so to be born spiritually, it means you are spiritually alive. How come? Because every one of us, every human being who is ever born of a woman was born spiritually dead. I mean, physically alive, running around, but spiritually dead. Not comatose, dead, dead, dead. And so when the Holy Spirit opens our eyes and then we spiritually become awake and alive, that's born again. That's when you become born of the Spirit. Jesus said you're going to be born of the Spirit of God because God has to do something on the inside of us to change us.And I remember that day like yesterday when my whole life changed. My views of everything just changed overnight. Of course, it's taken me sixty years of walking with Christ to grow in the knowledge and so forth, but that day was the beginning when I knew that it was totally transformed by the power of God and I became conscious of sin and confession of my sin and the closeness with God and the thirsting for righteousness and all of that.[18:19] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: I remember as a boy when you would preach on heaven you would always talk about that this life was like a dress rehearsal. And it's interesting because you were talking about you remember the moment when you became spiritually awake, but in the sixty-odd years, you've grown in your sanctification, you've grown in your knowledge and love for the Lord. They talk about the theological concept of the already and the not yet. Like you said, there's a concept now in my mind and an understanding of the reality of heaven, and I'm now living in preparation for that, and that's what the Christian life is preparing you for.[19:00] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Well, just as, you know, I sought to set an example for you and your siblings, I had others who set that example for me. My grandfather and my mother, they set the example of their being motivated by heaven, and therefore, they have done so much on the Earth because of their motivation of heaven. And so I am so grateful for their example, and I sought to also set an example, not just for you as my family and children, but also to congregations and people that I minister to. I told one of our pastoral care ministers one time, I said, you know, I have been privileged to teach for now fifty-two years since I was ordained to show people how to live for Christ. I don't know how the Lord is going to take me home, whether it's going to be sudden or not, that's in His sovereign will. Either way He does it is fine by me. But if He privileged me to have a slow death that I pray that I will be able to teach people how to die in Christ. I taught them how to live in Christ, now how to die in Christ is very important.[20:21] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: We can't have a conversation about heaven without having a conversation about hell. And thankfully, you do have a chapter in your book that delves into that. Let's go there.[20:40] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Okay, well, as you know, I have never preached on hell without tears. Sometimes I mean broken down completely, not just shedding a tear or two. And the reason I do that and the reason—actually it's out of my control; if it was in my control, I wouldn't cry—but the reason I do is because I know hell is real. Just as heaven is real, hell is real. It's a place, and there is going to be suffering, the Bible called that the lake of fire. The Bible talks about the worms that do not die, and the fire that would not die, and the gnashing of teeth. And the descriptions, a dark place where you feel falling all the time but there is no bottom. And it goes on and on and on. I try to put those descriptions that Jesus gave us, not—[21:27] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Not your own mind or some philosopher.[21:28] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF —or fantasies of other people. It's what Jesus said. And the Bible makes it clear: hell was prepared for Satan and his angels. That is for whom hell was prepared. Unfortunately and sadly, there are so many who follow Satan who will end up with him in that lake of fire. And I have dedicated my life and whatever years I've got left, or days, it doesn't matter, I am dedicating them to warn people why should you perish? Why should you follow Satan, who takes you straight into that eternal life of torment?You say, “How do you know that?” Well, Jesus, again. He talked about Lazarus and the rich man. This is before His own resurrection, before His own opening paradise for the believers, where they were still in a waiting, holding pattern, as it were. But even then, before Christ's resurrection, they were in two different places: one is a torment and pain and suffering and burning of the tongue, and the other one is a joy in what they used to call the bosom of Abraham. And so the conversation goes on, the man cries out from Hades to Abraham and he said, “Please send Lazarus,” the guy whom he didn't even pay a minute's notice, he said, “Send him with a drop of water in his finger to just cool my tongue and give me relief.”Had he said, “We have a huge gap between us. We cannot cross to you and you cannot cross to us.” And that is what really makes me cry and weep, because once you cross over to the other side, there is no return. No matter how much you try and say, “I repent, I change now.” No, no, it's too late. It's like the days of Noah—and Jesus said that—it's like the days of Noah. And he kept warning, 120 years he's been preaching—it's so difficult for me even to comprehend. And there's, “No, no,” and made fun of him. And then in the end, of course, when the flood came, “Okay, we'll get in.” No, no, no. God shut the door.God will shut the door one day, and so my longing, the longing of … the longing of my heart (and I do this in the book, especially that last chapter) is I'm pleading with people, come to Christ now. The opportunity is now. The moment is now. The hour is now. Don't put it off. And in the end, it's like Ezekiel says. If you warn people and they get into trouble, you're innocent. And that's what I want to be, a watchman who's innocent. But if I didn't warn them and I know danger was coming, then I have their blood on my hand, and I don't want that to happen. I don't want blood on my hand.[24:29] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Let's just sort of, as we conclude, who's the book for and why should they buy it?[24:37] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Actually, this book is for everyone. Seldom do I say that because there are some books specifically. But this is for the believer, to encourage them and uplift them; for the non-believer to be forewarned and give them a chance to turn to Christ. So really, a believer will read it and be encouraged, but then give it to somebody who needs to know about the plan of salvation and hopefully then you—[25:00] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Someone who has a false view of heaven.[25:01] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Exactly. And then you, who will give that book to somebody else, will be receiving the reward, even more than me who has written, because you have been an instrument of God of handing this warning to people and telling them to wake up while it's time.[25:21] JONATHAN YOUSSEF: Yeah, yeah. Well, the book is Heaven Awaits: Anticipate Your Future Hope, Your Eternal Home, Your Daily Reality by Dr. Michael Youssef. Dad, thank you so much for returning and gracing us once again with your presence on Candid Conversations.[25:38] DR. MICHAEL YOUSSEF Thank you Dr. Jonathan Youssef. Thank you for your ministry. I appreciate it.

Politik Siyonizm'in modern dönemdeki kurucusu Theodor Herzl'in yakın arkadaşlarından Israel Zangwill, 1905 yazında İsviçre'nin Basel kentinde toplanan Yedinci Siyonist Kongre'den sonra, ana akım Siyonizm'den ayrılarak kendi grubunu (“Bölgesel Siyonizm”) oluşturdu. Bölgesel Siyonizm taraftarları, Filistin'i öncelemeksizin, Afrika veya Asya'da herhangi bir yerin Yahudilere “yurt” olabileceğini savunuyor, Filistin'e odaklanılmasını Yahudilerin menfaatine uygun bulmuyordu. Bu düşüncenin arka planında ise, bizzat hareketin kurucusu Zangwill'in yaşadığı şahsî bir tecrübe yatıyordu: Zangwill, 1897'deki Birinci Siyonist Kongre'den itibaren, Yahudilerin dünyanın çeşitli ülkelerinden toplanıp Filistin'e göç etmesi gerektiği fikrinin ana savunucularından biri olarak öne çıkmıştı. Yaptığı konuşmalarda ve yazdığı makalelerde kullandığı bir slogan da kısa zaman içinde şöhrete kavuşmuştu: “Topraksız bir halk için, halksız bir toprak.” Bu ifade, İngiltere'de Siyonizm'in ilk destekçilerinden Lord Shaftesbury'nin 1853 tarihli bir mektubundan iktibas edilmişti. Topraksız halk Yahudiler, halksız toprak da Filistin'di. Ancak Zangwill, Filistin'i ziyaret ettikten ve bölgenin “tıka-basa Araplarla dolu olduğunu” gördükten sonra fikrini değiştirmiş, ana akım Siyonizm'den de kopmuştu. Israel Zangwill'in kendi yolunu çizdiği Yedinci Siyonist Kongre, Theodor Herzl'in Yahudiler için yurt olarak Uganda'yı teklif etmesiyle patlak veren tartışmaların gölgesinde toplanmıştı. Herzl kongrenin hazırlıkları devam ederken ölünce, Siyonist delegeler onun yokluğunda ilk iş olarak Uganda Planı'nı rafa kaldırarak yeniden gözünü Filistin'e dikmişti. Herzl'in Uganda ısrarının arkasında da kendi tecrübesi vardı: 1898'de kısa süreliğine Filistin'i ve Kudüs'ü ziyaret eden Herzl, gördüğü manzara karşısında hayal kırıklığına uğramış, Kudüs'teki “dinî fanatizm”den ürkmüş ve kendisinin de mensubu bulunduğu seküler Avrupalı Yahudi grupların bölgede barınmakta zorlanacağını görmüştü. Theodor Herzl'in bile bizzat yaşadığı bu fikrî dönüşüme rağmen, dünyanın dört bir tarafından Filistin'e hücum eden Yahudi göçmenler eliyle kurulan İsrail, “Topraksız bir halk için, halksız bir toprak” mottosunu resmî tarih söyleminin temeline yerleştirdi. Yahudi nesiller anaokulundan itibaren, “Biz geldiğimizde Filistin toprakları bomboştu, buraya yerleştik. Sonra Araplar bize saldırdı ve bizi kovmaya çalıştı. Biz de kendimizi savunduk, devletimizi kurduk” yalanlarıyla büyütüldü. Ta ki, bir grup İsrailli Yahudi tarihçi ve akademisyen (bilahare kazandıkları isimle “Yeni Tarihçiler”), kendi devletlerinin resmî tarih tezleriyle kıyasıya hesaplaşıncaya kadar... 1980'lerin başından itibaren, devlet arşivlerinde sürdürdükleri yoğun çalışmaların ardından, aralarında Avi Shlaim, Benny Morris, Ilan Pappe, Simha Flapan, Joel Migdal, Shlomo Sand, Baruch Kimmerling, Tom Segev gibi önemli isimlerin bulunduğu bu tarihçiler çok çarpıcı bazı neticelere ulaştılar. Buna göre: Filistin toprakları, İsrail'in kuruluş sürecinde buraya akın eden Siyonist mültecilerin iddia ettiği gibi tümüyle “boş” değildi, aksine tarihî şehirler ve kasabalar kalabalık yerli Arap nüfusu barındırıyordu, Filistinliler, iddia edildiği gibi “gönüllü biçimde” vatanlarını terk etmemişti. İsrail'in bugün kurulduğu topraklarda, Siyonist çeteler eliyle çok sayıda katliam uygulanmış, yerel nüfus cebren tehcir edilmiş, yüzlerce yıldır buralarda yaşayan ahali komşu ülkelere sığınmak durumunda kalmıştı,

The Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla in Westminster Abbey was a landmark event in British history watched by many millions around the world. But it was also a very defining statement about the continuing influence of Christianity in the United Kingdom. For despite decades of many attacks on Christianity, yesterday's Coronation was thoroughly and unashamedly Christian.    The messages, the music, the prayers and the worship were Christ-centred and Bible-based. And in the key moments of his coronation, the need for the help of the Holy Spirit was recognised as the King was anointed, consecrated and blessed, as well as crowned. You do not have to be members of the established Church of England, and as many of us in so called Free Churches are not, to find reasons to thank God for this Coronation. 1. The coronation shows that the United Kingdom is legally a Christian nation 2. The Coronation shows that temporal authority is dependent on God's authority (Colossians 1:15-17) 3. The Coronation shows that God is a God of mercy and love who deserves our praise and worship (Psalm 103)  Apply  The coronation shows that the United Kingdom is legally a Christian nation. Our laws and our freedoms are rooted in our Christian history and beliefs. Though many have different visions of what they would like the UK to be, we are legally and officially a Christian nation. That doesn't mean that the country lives like we are Christians, but the facts remain that Christianity continues to be our official national identity, despite the determination of so many to destroy it. Hard as so many have tried, they have not been able to airbrush Christianity from our history or culture. Ever since Roman times and particularly since Augustine in the 6th Century, Christianity has shaped our laws, our politics, our education, our hospitals, our culture, our freedoms and countless individuals. Despite many periods in our long island history where there was great turmoil and social disintegration, it has repeatedly been Christian movements of revival and reformation that have brought great hope and healing.   Famously the Methodist movement of John and Charles Wesley and George Whitefield is said to have ‘powerfully influenced an eighteenth-century England that was rife with corruption, drunkenness, crime and religious apathy.' It spread out to take the gospel to all parts of the nation, particularly the poor and working classes and according to historian GM Trevelyan ‘deeply moved a vast mass of human beings hitherto neglected by church and state.' This movement led in turn to the great evangelical advance in the 19th century which not only saw the rise of great preachers and missionaries but Christian reformers like Lord Shaftesbury and William Wilberforce and the Clapham group who tirelessly campaigned for and finally achieved the abolition of slavery. William and Catherine Booth's war against poverty and their passion to save lost souls, staring in London's destitute East End, became a global movement within 15 years and continues to this day. Today you can visit the Salvation Army's international headquarters just by the river near St Paul's to learn of its lasting impact. Similarly just along by the Thames in the Victoria Embankment Gardens you can see the imposing statue of Robert Raikes, who founded a Sunday school movement attended by five million children and which helped in the training up of MPs and the formation of famous football clubs like Everton, Aston Villa and Fulham.   The extent of Christian influence in the UK remained clear in the darkest days of World War 2 when the nation stood alone against the imminent threat of Nazi invasion. Huge crowds flocked to churches in answer to an urgent national call to prayer from King George VI. These prayers, crucial to the future of our nation, were spectacularly answered in what Winston Churchill called ‘a miracle of deliverance'. Over a third of a million soldiers were rescued from Dunkirk after a freak storm appeared in Northern France which grounded most of the German air force while amazingly, just 100 kilometres away, there were ideal calm weather conditions in the English Channel that made it possible for the evacuation to take place. Despite many attacks on its values and freedoms, the United Kingdom has a rich Christian history and a robust Christian identity that the Coronation so clearly confirmed.   Today, although less people than a decade before identify as Christians, a significant 60% of the population still do. And despite gloomy media reports, the drop in traditional churchgoers is more than offset by the growth of new churches, Pentecostal churches, and majority African or Hispanic or Filipino churches, many of whose members are a key support to our National Health Service. Since the pandemic there are now 1,500 online Alpha courses running in the UK, with 7000 churches running Alpha and guest attendance tripling. New research by the Evangelical Alliance revealed that evangelical churches in the UK have seen an increase in attendance for both in-person and online services and church attendance has increased in the nation's capital city of London.  As Christians in the UK we should seize this moment of history to build on our Christian foundations and spread the good news of Jesus by word, deed and example amongst all peoples and age groups. And we should particularly focus on making known to young people our strong Christian roots that have so long nourished this nation, particularly reaching out to the so-called Generation Z aged between eight and 23 years old who will take the lead in a few decades. So we should thank God for the coronation because it has served to remind us of the UK's Christian identity.    The Coronation also shows that temporal authority is dependent on God's authority. Ultimately, Christian monarchy points beyond itself to the majesty of God, as our late Queen Elizabeth II clearly recognised. The final hymn she selected for her funeral was 'Love Divine, All Loves Excelling', written by the well-known Methodist leader Charles Wesley. The concluding words present the image of a temporal monarch worshipping Christ the eternal King of Kings. In the Coronation service of King Charles and Queen Camilla, Christ's position as King of all was made clear in the reading from Colossians 1:15-17. So we should be thankful for this very public recognition of God's authority.     The Coronation shows that God is a God of mercy and love who deserves our praise and worship. The final hymn of yesterday's Coronation clearly has significant meaning for our new King and Queen. It was also sung at their wedding blessing service of prayer and dedication in St Georges Chapel, Windsor, 18 years ago. ‘Praise my soul the King of Heaven' draws from Psalm 103 and speaks of God's grace. God's grace is the great need of every nation and every heart. For, as the Bible teaches:  - All of us have sinned and fallen short of God's glory  - All of us need cleansing from our sins through the blood of Jesus shed for all people at the Cross of Calvary  - All of us need the love of God the Father who is slow to tell us off and quick to bless us - All of us need to be ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven.   And today you can be as you too dedicate your life to Jesus Christ and crown Him as King of your life. Also pray prayers of blessing for our new King and Queen in obedience to the teaching of the Bible, in 1 Timothy 2:2 that we should ‘pray for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.'

Disraeli's second government was an administration of progressive conservatism, a strange moment in a general history of the Conservative Party as essentially, well, conservative. Partly that was politically expedient, looking for support among the working class, but partly it was sincere, based on a deep revulsion at the conditions in which most of it lived. Much of the reforming legislation was piloted by Richard Cross, Disraeli's imaginative, and bold, choice as Home Secretary. It included the conclusion of the long campaign led by many but above all by Lord Shaftesbury, to limit the hours worked by women and children. It also abolished the use of ‘climbing boys', the use of kids as chimney sweeps. It, astonishingly for a Conservative government, extended union rights, including decriminalising the right to picket. And it even included the introduction of the Plimsoll line on ships, to prevent overloading and the many sailors' deaths to which it led. On all these reforms, resistance was loud and strong from business interests. And, the final surprise of this time, they were being faced down by a Conservative government.

Born into English aristocracy in 1801, he endured a cold, loveless childhood but found comfort in the love and care of a family housekeeper who shared her Christian faith with him. In his mid-20s Lord Shaftesbury was elected as a Conservative member of Parliament and with this was a very public commitment to Christ that motivated everything he did.

Lord Shaftesbury est un homme politique et l'un des philanthropes britanniques les plus connus de l'ère victorienne. Toutes ces personnes que je devrais connaître de Clare Heath-Whyte illustré par Jenny Brake (de blfeditions) est un livre regroupant des personnalités différentes mais qui ont décidé de suivre leur appel et faire connaître Jésus autours d'eux.

Welcome to the craziest Mothers Day ever, set as it were against the background of the corona virus. You can’t see your mum, or touch your mum, but you can zoom her, FaceTime her, Skype her and even telephone her.   I even heard that babies born in this year, in 13 years time will not be called generation X,  Y, Z, etc, but quaran-teens.   Today we celebrate mothers. Becoming a mother is a biological process, and it takes only a moment. Being a mother is not so easy, because it is a lifelong commitment for which there is no preparation, no training and often very little help.   One woman’s said, “Before I got married I had 3 theories on how to raise children. Now I have 3 children, and no theories!”   Exodus 20:12 (ESV Strong's) “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.   So today, although we cannot be physically together, I want to honour the mothers here, and give you a virtual COVID 19 hug.   Being a great mum is a calling, and God has great plans for you mums. They say, The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. What that means is that mums have a disproportionate and amazing influence on their children, their grandchildren, and hence the whole of society.   2 Timothy 1:5 (ESV Strong's) I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. What w3 deposit with our children and grandchildren lives forever. MOTHERHOOD- OVERVALUED BUT UNDERPAID   Men, you go out to work and expect to get paid for a job well done. Motherhood has been jointly described as the world’s most underpaid job, or the most highly paid job if you count love and goodwill instead of just money…   Salary.com conducted a survey in 2010 that attempted to place a monetary value on the work of a stay-at-home mom. They determined that if mothers were to be paid for their ten most common tasks in the home (including cleaner, janitor, taxi driver, computer operator, housekeeper, teacher, cook, chief executive officer, psychologist, and facilities manager) they would be paid over $120,000 per annum, much of it overtime. Milton Berle once quipped, “If evolution is real,  how come mothers only have 2 hands!” To every mum today, God has given you an unique calling… You are… GROWER   Psalms 127:3 (ESV Strong's) Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.   Mums, you have given birth to and nurtured your children, some fairly recently, some a long time ago. As a grower, you get to see them grow from a tiny baby into mature, and sometimes not so mature, adults.   Yours is the great challenge, and the great joy of seeing potential realised. But the challenge is, while you may have dreams of what you’re growing, you don’t actually know what you’re growing! If a farmer plants wheat, he gets wheat. If he plants corn, he doesn’t get cucumbers, he gets corn.   But mums, you could be growing a prime minister, or a doctor, or a pastor, or another mum, or you could be growing C criminal, a drug dealer or possibly even worse, a politician. You have no idea, right? For this you have to trust God and obey His directions, and when you do you need to trust Him for the fruit of your labours.   TEACHER   As many of you have found out, in this Corona virus pandemic, you’ve all suddenly been elected teachers! But mum, you’ve always been a teacher…   Proverbs 1:8 (ESV Strong's) Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching,   At the other end of proverbs, the excellent, praiseworthy wife is describes like this…   Proverbs 31:26 (ESV Strong's) She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.   So mums, we honour you today for your teaching, and pearls of wisdom, like…   Silence is golden, unless you have kids… Then it’s suspicious Parenting tip- If you don’t know where your kids are in the house, turn off the internet and watch them magically appear Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shovelling the sidewalk before it stops snowing." —Phyllis Diller "I want my children to have all the things I couldn't afford. Then I want to move in with them."     COMFORTER   Isaiah 66:13 (ESV Strong's) As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you;   Whether it’s a skinned knee, a shattered dream, a broken heart or compulsory isolation, great mums are there to comfort you. Even if they felt their mums never comforted them, great mums still comfort those they love.   ADVISOR   Even today at my age my mother is able to advise me, and I listen. Why? Because she has earned the right to speak into my life, and that’s what great mums do!   Proverbs 22:6 (ESV Strong's) Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.   Mothers, like it or not, tend to have advice on everything. Now we all know the kind of advice mothers give, but I found a list of things you will likely never hear your mother say…   “Just leave all the lights on...it makes the house look more cheery.” “Let me smell that shirt—Yeah, it’s good for another week.” “Go ahead and keep that stray dog, honey. I’ll be glad to feed and walk him every day.” “I know I said no, but if Timmy’s mom says it’s OK, that’s good enough for me.” “Come home when you like, the curfew is just a general time to shoot for. It’s not like I’m running a prison around here.” “I don’t have a tissue with me...just use your sleeve.”   How many of you know that, when facing choices in your life, many times your mother’s advice comes to mind. So mums, be careful what you advise your children, because they take it all in, even if they don’t appear to act upon it.     COUNCILLOR   Proverbs 31:26 (ESV Strong's) She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.   Mothers, you have wisdom. It might be worldly wisdom from beneath, or it might be godly wisdom from above. As mums, you want to give the right wisdom to your kids.   ERMA BOMBECK said When your mother asks, "Do you want a piece of advice?" it's a mere formality. It doesn't matter if you answer yes or no. You're going to get it anyway. — Many great people, from Abraham Lincoln to Michael Jordon to Liza Minnelli attribute their success to advice their mums gave them.   STEWARD   Great mums realise that they don’t own their children, they steward them. Many of you older mums are at this point right now. You bring children up the best you can, maybe teach them all about the Lord, but at some point you need to let them go, and they make their own choices, many of which you may not agree with.    I don’t agree with all the decisions my kids make, but I make sure whthernibagreebowhtbthemmor not never diminishes how much I love them. One of the fallacies of our modern world is that people say if you love me you’ll let me. Listen, you can love someone and still disagree with them.   Mothers, you need to be stewards of your kids, then release them to the Lord. Samuel’s mother, Hannah, who had waited so long for a child, prayer so fervently for a child, when she had her first she dedicated him to God…   1 Samuel 1:27-28 (ESV Strong's) For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him. Therefore I have lent him to the Lord. As long as he lives, he is lent to the Lord.”   Mothers, many of your hearts are breaking for kids gone astray, kids who have rejected Christ. 2 things, first stop blaming yourself. At some point your children make their own decision, and it’s not your fault. But secondly, never stop praying and believing for your children!   PRAYER   A mother’s prayer has saved many a soul, so whatever you do, never give up on your children. Never stop praying for your children…   1 John 5:14-15 (ESV Strong's) And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.   Mothers, your prayers are powerful and I know myself, when I was rebelling against my parents, I believe it was the prayers of my mother that kept me from harm and brought me back to God.   The prayer of mothers protect their children. Augustine, John and Charles Wesley, Hudson Taylor, Billy Graham and many other great men who changed the world for Christ had praying mothers.   BELIEVER   And finally, never stop believing for your children.   Galatians 6:9 (ESV Strong's) And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.   Mums want to believe in you, whether you believe in you or not. Mums see the good in their children, even if no one else does. For example, Hitler’s mum Klara took him to church and wanted him to be a civil servant. Napoleon’s mum was married at 13 and accompanied him into exile on the island of Elba.  Osama Bin Laden’s mum wanted him to stop fighting the west and come home to Saudi like a good boy. Donald Trump described his mum as smart as hell and he said he's had trouble finding women to marry who compared to his her! I read about Ted Bundy’s mother Louise, who loved her son so much that she refused to believe he was a killer, until a series of death row confessions of 36 murders put the matter beyond doubt. These mums saw the best in their children even when others saw them as tyrants and killers. Mums believe in us when others give up on us. Mums always want the best for their kids and grandkids, as I bet every mum listening to this message does. So mums, we honour you this day, in the midst of the greatest crisis most of us have known in our lifetimes, we honour you mums, and I ask you mums, please don’t give up on your kids, no matter how bad you might think they have become.  One of the greatest church fathers in history owed his ministry and life to his mother’s faithfulness… St Augustine’s mother was a godly woman who lived around 350AD. She loved her wayward son, and the young Augustine lived with a girl and had an illegitimate child, then followed this by joining a heretical sect for 9 long years. He refused to listen to her, and she was so distraught she prayed and prayed and God gave her a dream that settled her heart, and then a mother's faith checked in. A short time after the dream Augustine came to Christ, and became one of the most significant church fathers of his generation! He was once lost, but then through a mother's faith and love, he was found. My mother was a believer for me too! She believed that the Lord would use me, even when I was wandering far from His ways, and she prayed and believed even when I had hurt her and when she was discouraged! Lord Shaftesbury was correct in his famous utterance, “Give me a generation of Christian mothers, and I will undertake to change the whole face of society in twelve months.”   MUM, YOU’RE PRICELESS! Let me finish by reading you the words of a Tammy Wynette song from 1974 My little girl came into the kitchen this evenin', While I was fixin' supper, And she handed me a piece of paper she'd been writin' on, And after wipin' my hands on my apron, I read it - and this is what it said:   For mowin' the yard - five dollars, And for makin' my own bed this week - one dollar, And for goin' to the store - fifty cents, An' playin' with little sister, while you went to the store - twenty-five cents, Takin' out the trash - one dollar, Gettin' a good report card - five dollars, And for rakin' the yard - two dollars, Total owed - fourteen dollars and seventy-five cents. Well, I looked at her standin' there expectantly, And a thousand mem'ries flashed through my mind, So I picked up the pen, turnin' the paper over, This is what I wrote:   For the nine months I carried you, Growin' inside me - NO CHARGE, For the nights I've sat up with you, Doctored you, prayed for you - NO CHARGE, For the toys, food and clothes. And for wiping your nose, there's NO CHARGE, When you add it all up. The full cost of my love is NO CHARGE.   Well, when she finished readin', She had great big old tears in her eyes, And she looked up at me and said, "Mama, I sure do love you." Then she took the pen, And in great big letters, She wrote: "PAID IN FULL." When you add it all up, The cost of real love is - NO CHARGE   We can learn that lesson from Jesus. He laid His life down for you and for me, and the cost of real love was simply this… NO CHARGE. You can’t buy salvation, and you can’t earn it. This Mother’s Day and every day, Jesus love and sacrifice is freely given… NO CHARGE. Whether you are a mum today, or a child, you can have the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour. It’s a gift, it’s at no charge, but it’s a life changing event.   Mums, you need Jesus to be the mother He’s called you to be.  And some of you children, you’ve broken you mum’s heart long enough! It’s time to ask Jesus into your life, it’s time to make your mother’s prayers be answered! John 3:16 (ESV Strong's) “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

 “Should Christians be involved in Politics?”  SCRIPTURES  (1 Timothy 2:1–8 NIV11) (Romans 13:1–5 NIV11) (Luke 20:21–26 NIV11) (Titus 3:1–2 NIV11) (1 Peter 2:12–17 NIV11) (Matthew 28:18 NIV11) (Colossians 2:9–10 NIV11)  Discussion  “Christians should be involved in politics” “Christians should not be involved in politics”  Politicians of christian faith  William Wilberforce:  “Never, never will we desist till we have wiped away this scandal from the Christian name, released ourselves from the load of guilt, under which we at present labour, and extinguished every trace of this bloody traffic, of which our posterity, looking back to the history of these enlightened times, will scarce believe that it has been suffered to exist so long a disgrace and dishonour to this country.” Lord Shaftesbury:  “My religious views are not very popular but they are the views that have sustained and comforted me all though my life. I think a man's religion, if it is worth anything, should enter into every sphere of life, and rule his conduct in every relation.”  Personal reflection  Consider whether God is calling you to influence the political sphere. Whatever channel God provides for you to influence society for the better, use it to the utmost to advance the cause of Christ.  Please add your comments on this week’s topic.

Em Hobbes e a Teoria Clássica do Riso, o historiador britânico Quentin Skinner avalia o pensamento clássico a cerca do humor começando por Aristoteles e Platão até Hobbes. Segundo o historiador, o riso na antigüidade clássica era considerado uma expressão da superioridade daquele que ri em relação ao objeto do riso. Esse conceito sofre modificações com durante o período do renascimento e o riso passa a ser visto como gozo, deleite. Mesmo o conceito de humor se modifica. Etimologicamente, Humor tem origem no latim e significa Fluidos [humoris], mais especificamente os fluidos corporais, como o sangue. Isso é demonstrado na relação de Hipócrates, o pai da medicina, entre o temperamento e os fluidos corporais. Entretanto, o conceito de humor que hoje atribuímos a palavra vem da obra Sensus communis: an essay on the freedom of wit and humour (1709), de Lord Shaftesbury. Ainda que Voltaire reclame a origem como francesa, humeur. Mas o que é uma piada? Na primeira aula de um curso de Filologia na Alemanha do Sec. XIX, um professor perguntou a um aluno: "Qual o seu nome? E, você saberia me dizer o que é uma piada?". Um proeminente aluno responde cacofonicamente: "Nietzsche. Eu não". E a turma inteira riu. Infelizmente essa piada só faz sentido em Alemão, o que nos mostra que uma característica da piada que é a exigência de um conhecimento prévio a cerca do assunto, e em muitos casos o preconceito é confundido com conhecimento. É claro também que essa história nunca aconteceu na realidade. Todavia, esses eventos existem perfeitamente no campo das ideias. O que me obriga a classifica-la como uma piada platônica. Ou do francês "pas marrant". [Completamente] sem graça. No episódio de hoje, um desafio e uma análise trágica para responder a pergunta "O que é uma piada?".

We chat to 'Iron War' legends Dave Scott and Mark Allen about their most famous race, coach Joe Beer drops some knowledge on heart rate zone training, and Lord Shaftesbury introduces his new tri festival in Dorset.

Listen HEREThis week I speak of an email I received, special thanks to Doug Hines, and I speak of a wonderful concept that was given to me by Randy Sandberg.Please visit the wonderful Quotes on Slavery website: http://quotesonslavery.org/Here is a quote I think relevant to the theme of this podcast:"A common criticism is that the time is not yet ripe for our reform. Can time ever be ripe for any reform unless it is ripened by human determination? Did Wilberforce wait for the ripening of time before he commenced his fight against slavery? Did Edwin Chadwick, Lord Shaftesbury, and Charles Kingsley wait for such a non-existent moment before trying to convince the great dead weight of public opinion that clean water and bathrooms would be an improvement? If they had declared their intention to poison everybody the opposition they met could hardly have been greater. There is an obvious danger in leaving the fulfilment of our ideals to posterity, for posterity may not have our ideal. Evolution can be retrogressive as well as progressive, indeed there seems always to be a strong gravitation the wrong way unless existing standards are guarded and new visions honoured. For this reason we have formed our [Vegan] Group, the first of its kind, we believe, in this or any other country.~ Donald Watson (November, 1944)" http://quotesonslavery.org/a-common-criticism-is-that-the-time-is-not-yet-ripe-for-our-reform/

Lord Shaftesbury had a profound contribution to social reform. He spearheaded countless campaigns to care for the mentally ill, to reduce working hours in factories and to stop children being sent down mines.
