In “Dark Sayings,” I explore how internalized racism destroyed my mother's family. This psychological process, woven out of Hellenistic pluralism and anti-Scriptural platitudes about the so-called “Melting Pot,” reveals how systemic racism operates not only externally but within the immigrant's self-conception.Internalized racism is more insidious than the inferiority complex from which it stems. Eventually, the immigrant—the stranger in a foreign land—overcomes fear by adopting the personality of the oppressor.“You shouldn't give your children Arabic names, Marc.”“Stop listening to Arabic music, Marc.”“You need to assimilate into this culture, Marc.”“If you love the Middle East so much, Marc, why don't you live there?”The last one is my favorite. It reveals the speaker's true heart. They might as well say, “Go back to Africa, Marc.”My father is from Africa. Is Africa a punishment?Internalized racism explains why people from the West Bank see themselves as superior to people from Gaza. It's why Arab Christians often identify with white Western Christians against their Muslim brothers. It's why immigrants and minorities across backgrounds look up to those who marginalize them.This concept of “Stockholm Syndrome” reflects a fundamental truth about the human condition. The privileged and underprivileged who perpetuate internalized racism share something profoundly disturbing in common: both reject the God of Abraham, trusting not in him as King, but in themselves.Ironically, Pharaoh (or Caesar) is not their king, as they profess in John's Gospel, but merely their locum tenens — their temporary substitute. They view themselves as the true sovereigns. This explains their enthusiasm for elections; they delight in proclaiming their chosen figurehead by acclamation: creatus imperator.They “create” (creāre) him. They “make” him. They “elect” him. They “bring him into being” and then they control him—but they can't control the God who speaks out of the whirlwind.Providence, habibi, is rougher than a corncob. She'll slap you sideways even if you're careful.Though “internalized racism” isn't a Scriptural term, it's rooted in biblical notions of cowardice; in the absolute fear of the power of death and deep anxiety about what might happen if Jesus alienates the “wrong people” in Decapolis. God forbid he offend those “nice white people.” Very bad for business.Consider the disciples.What a bunch of cowardly, misguided fools. One almost wonders why Jesus didn't let his Father finish what he began with the storm at sea.Oops! I am starting to sound like Jonah. See, there are no good guys!This week, I discuss Luke 8:25.Show Notesβουλή (boulē) / מ-כ-ר (meem-kaf-resh) / م-ك-ر (mīm-kāf-rāʾ)Purposeful plan, will, counsel. يَمْكُرُ (yamkurū) to plan, scheme, plot. מכר (makar) to sell. For example, Joseph being sold by his brothers (מָכְרוּ māḵərū Genesis 37:28).“But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected God's plan (τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ θεοῦ tēn boulēn tou theou) for themselves, not having been baptized by John.” (Luke 7:30)“For thus says the Lord: ‘You have sold yourselves (נִמְכַּרְתֶּם nimkartem) for nothing, and you shall be redeemed without money.'” (Isaiah 52:3)“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the Lord, “Who execute a plan, but not mine, and make an alliance, but not of my Spirit, in order to add sin to sin.” (Isaiah 30:1)“And [remember] when those who did not believe made plans (يَمْكُرُ yamkuru) against you to restrain you, or kill you, or expel you. And they make plans (ۚ وَيَمْكُرُونَ wa yamkuruna), but God makes plans (وَيَمْكُرُ wa yamkuru) — and God is the best of planners (الْمَاكِرِينَ al-makirin).” (Surah Al-Anfal 8:30)πίστις (pistis) / אֱמֶת (ʾemet), from the root א-מ-ן (aleph-mem-nun), אָמֵן (ʾāmēn), and أمين (amīn)The root א-מ-ן (aleph-mem-nun) is functional with إيمان (īmān, “faith”) and آمن (āmana, “he trusted”), reflecting the biblical Hebrew concepts of trust, faithfulness, and reliability.Under the influence of Hellenism (Judaeo-Christianism), אֱמֶת (ʾemet) is misinterpreted by neoplatonists as “truth,” as if it were a philosophical abstraction. Here, the wisdom of George Carlin comes to mind:“I leave symbols to the symbol-minded.”The God of Abraham is not a “symbol,” let alone a pagan effigy—he is our trustworthy Master. Saying “amin” does not indicate agreement with an idea; it reflects placement of trust in the trustworthy Master.φοβέω (phobeō) / י-ר-א (yod-resh-aleph) / و-ر-ي (wāw–rāʼ–yāʼ)Fear, fearful, or feared. وَأَرَى (waʾara) — “to frighten someone.”“Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God ( יְרֵ֤א אֱלֹהִים֙ yerēʾʹ ʾělō·hîmʹ ), since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” Then Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son. Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide, as it is said to this day, “In the mount of the Lord it will be provided.”” (Genesis 22:10–14)In the Qur'an, وَأَرَى (waʾara) is linked to divine signs intended to cause fear. Concerning the Lukan reference, Abraham is shown (أَرَى arā) a terrifying thing:“And when he reached the age of striving with him, [Abraham] said: ‘O my son, indeed I see (أَرَى arā) in a dream that I am sacrificing you.” (Qur'an 37:102)In Genesis 22, Abraham also sees (וַיַּרְא wayyárʾ) the ram caught in the thicket, and “fears God” (ירא אלהים yirē ʾelohim) through his obedience.θαυμάζω (thaumazō) / ת-מ-ה (taw-meem-he)The disciples encountered God on Mount Zion, were filled with terror, panicked, and fled:“They saw it, then they were amazed (תָּמָ֑הוּ tā·māʹ·hû); They were terrified, they fled in alarm.” (Psalm 48:5)In Ecclesiastes, after a reminder to “fear God,” a warning: don't be shocked by institutional oppression. Corruption and injustice are standard and forever entrenched — officials monitor one another, but the system will always fail. “Reform” is a word found only on the lips of the self-righteous:“Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to hear rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil….For in many dreams and in many words there is emptiness. Rather, fea...

Prevenient Grace – Today is Palm Sunday, and in keeping with our Lenten theme, “Table Transformations,” the scripture from Luke is about the deal Judas made with the chief priests and scribes to betray Jesus, and also the subsequent Passover meal Jesus and the twelve shared when he blessed the bread and cup revealing that they represented his body and blood, and then he revealed that one of them was going to betray him. Our ancestor in Methodism, John Wesley, had a concept of three movements of grace, the first being prevenient grace, grace that is offered by God to everyone. Jesus demonstrates prevenient grace in the Lukan story of the Passover meal as he shares the meal, even the symbols of his body and blood, with all of the disciples, knowing that when he would be tried and crucified they would all abandon him in various ways, especially Judas. And yet, his invitation and sharing the meal with them is a demonstration of God's invitation to everyone. Our response to that invitation of prevenient grace is to be open and accepting of God's love and then to share it with others.

Bethann and Samantha welcome special guest James Logan to the podcast! James Logan is the author of the debut fantasy "The Silverblood Promise," a story following Lukan Gardova, a young man whose life consists of card-playing and drinking lots and lots of wine. When Lukan's estranged father is found assassinated, Lukan sets off to find his father's killer, unaware of the adventure that awaits him. Join us today as we chat with James about his amazing book, his writing process, and the industry of book editing. We thank James Logan for sending a copy of "The Sliverblood Promise" to review and for joining us on the podcast!

The conclusion of the Lukan account of Jesus' earthly ministry ends with a commission documented in the book of Acts. Listen in to hear more.

Spiritual & Social TransformationLuke 4:16b-19Jesus stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.” (Luke 4:16b-19)Luke 4:18-19 was the only scripture that we had to memorize in our Intro to Theology course in seminary. On the first day of class, our professor declared to us newly initiated students that this Lukan text, if we were truly seeking to understand the depth and breadth of Jesus' life, encapsulated not only who Jesus was but also his mission in the world. This text, taken from the scroll of the prophet Isaiah, revealed that Jesus had not come only to bring a spiritual salvation as many of us had been taught. Jesus proclaimed that he had come to bring a social salvation that was to be embodied, practiced, and lived faithfully in the here and now.He had not come to save them only from their spiritual sins in the great by and by but to save them from a society that saw their poverty, their conditions, their imprisonment, and their oppression as sin. He had come to disrupt systems and dismantle structures that threatened their wellbeing and flourishing here on earth. It was personal – it was political – and it was prophetic. In his mission and ministry, no one was to be excluded. Everybody was included. As we enter into this Advent week of joy, Jesus invites us to join him on his mission to all that calls for both a spiritual and a social transformation. For as the text in Isaiah announces, those who do that will receive an everlasting joy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For this episode of Season 4, I had the pleasure to discuss The Silverblood Promise with James Logan. I really enjoyed this book and it was one of my Top 3 Fantasy Reads of 2024. Make sure to check out both my review later this week of The Silverblood Promise and be sure to check out my video at the end of this year for My Top 5 Fantasy Reads and My Top 10 Reads of 2024! I loved James' story about Lukan Gardova and his adventuring trying to right the wrongs of his past. This was a fast paced adventure with some of the best worldbuilding and some of the most unique character development I have seen recently. We had a fantastic chat about where James came up with his ideas for Lukan, the world, and the magic! I had a great time and I cannot wait to have him back soon to chat more about book 2! Note: My audio was cutting out around 47 minutes in and has some harsh pops here and there that we could not fix! Please be aware before listening or watching!

Lukan, a Perry and Shawna listener asks: How do I have free will if God is 100% sovereign and knows all that will happen? Biblical scholar Dr. Jeremy Grinnell earned his Ph.D. in Systematic Theology from Calvin in Grand Rapids, MI, and taught theology in seminary for nearly 15 years. He takes on Bible questions in today’s podcast. In addition to answering the above question, Jeremy also takes on these amazing questions! Are there contradictions in the Bible? What is B-side Christianity? (This has to do with 4 different views that Christians have on homosexuality.) What is the biblical view of killing for the greater good? War being an example. What would be a biblical view of getting involved in politics?

Michael Kochenash published his revised dissertation from Claremont School of Theology as Roman Self-Representation and the Lukan Kingdom of God (Lexington Books/Fortress Academic) in 2020. A student of Dennis R. MacDonald, Kochenash has continued to pursue a similar brand of mimetic criticism as his Doktorvater—that is, a branch of source criticism that sees the composition of early Christian and Jewish narratives as deliberate reconfigurations, imitations, and subversions of existing Greco-Roman cultural stories, models, and ideologies of the elite, governing class—with excellent results. Although the positionality of author to empire is more complex than can be characterized in a convenient soundbite, Kochenash argues that the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles were written in part from their author's narrative opposition to certain facets of Roman imperial logic, particularly those expressed in the recorded deeds of Augustus, propaganda spread through numismatic evidence, and in Virgil's Aeneid, among other places, chiefly to spread an inclusive, pro-Gentile, and universalizing salvific message about the Lukan Kingdom of God. Kochenash joined the New Books Network to discuss all these topics and more from his unique comparison of Luke-Acts to cultural and political themes known to the author that scholars have continued to remember as “Luke.” Rob Heaton, this episode's host, has also written a critical review of Kochenash's book, forthcoming with Rhea Classical Reviews. Michael Kochenash (Ph.D., Claremont, 2017) is a Radboud Excellence Initiative Fellow at Radboud University (Nijmegen, Netherlands) specializing in the New Testament and early Christian literature. He previously held teaching and research appointments in the United States and China. His research interprets early Christian and Jewish narratives as products of ancient Mediterranean literary production, with a special focus on their use of literary models from Jewish Scriptures and classical Greek literature. Among his previous publications are numerous journal articles and book chapters relating to Luke-Acts and other early Christian narratives, and he also co-edited Christian Origins and the New Testament in the Greco-Roman Context (Claremont Press, 2016), a Festschrift for Dennis MacDonald. Rob Heaton (Ph.D., University of Denver, 2019) hosts Biblical Studies conversations for New Books in Religion and teaches New Testament, Christian origins, and early Christianity at Anderson University in Indiana. He recently authored The Shepherd of Hermas as Scriptura Non Grata: From Popularity in Early Christianity to Exclusion from the New Testament Canon (Lexington Books, 2023).

Michael Kochenash published his revised dissertation from Claremont School of Theology as Roman Self-Representation and the Lukan Kingdom of God (Lexington Books/Fortress Academic) in 2020. A student of Dennis R. MacDonald, Kochenash has continued to pursue a similar brand of mimetic criticism as his Doktorvater—that is, a branch of source criticism that sees the composition of early Christian and Jewish narratives as deliberate reconfigurations, imitations, and subversions of existing Greco-Roman cultural stories, models, and ideologies of the elite, governing class—with excellent results. Although the positionality of author to empire is more complex than can be characterized in a convenient soundbite, Kochenash argues that the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles were written in part from their author's narrative opposition to certain facets of Roman imperial logic, particularly those expressed in the recorded deeds of Augustus, propaganda spread through numismatic evidence, and in Virgil's Aeneid, among other places, chiefly to spread an inclusive, pro-Gentile, and universalizing salvific message about the Lukan Kingdom of God. Kochenash joined the New Books Network to discuss all these topics and more from his unique comparison of Luke-Acts to cultural and political themes known to the author that scholars have continued to remember as “Luke.” Rob Heaton, this episode's host, has also written a critical review of Kochenash's book, forthcoming with Rhea Classical Reviews. Michael Kochenash (Ph.D., Claremont, 2017) is a Radboud Excellence Initiative Fellow at Radboud University (Nijmegen, Netherlands) specializing in the New Testament and early Christian literature. He previously held teaching and research appointments in the United States and China. His research interprets early Christian and Jewish narratives as products of ancient Mediterranean literary production, with a special focus on their use of literary models from Jewish Scriptures and classical Greek literature. Among his previous publications are numerous journal articles and book chapters relating to Luke-Acts and other early Christian narratives, and he also co-edited Christian Origins and the New Testament in the Greco-Roman Context (Claremont Press, 2016), a Festschrift for Dennis MacDonald.

Najbrž ni človeka, ki se v svojem odraslem življenju ne bi kdaj spomnil na pravljico, ki se ga je v otroštvu še posebej močno dotaknila. Pravljice nas radostijo, tolažijo, učijo, bogatijo našo domišljijo. Ne le otroško. Tudi odrasli, ki se z otrokom in knjigo v naročju potopi v njihov svet, uživa v vseh blagodatih pravljičnih besed in podob. Z njimi lahko vse življenje potujemo po domišljijskih svetovih. Ob glasnem branju, pripovedovanju in poslušanju se tkejo pristne človeške vezi. Odstira se življenje in razumevanje sveta. Slovenci imamo bogato zbirko pravljic in pripovedk, od ljudskih do avtorskih. In mnoge izmed njih že sedemdeset let izhajajo v zbirki Čebelica, namenjeni najmlajšim. Njena prva urednica je bila Kristina Brenkova, ki je zbirki dala tudi ime. O dolgoživosti Čebelice, o njenih številnih čudovito ilustriranih zgodbah in pomenu pravljic, branja in pripovedovanja se s sedanjo urednico zbirke Ireno Matko Lukan pogovarja Nada Voduškova.

In this week's episode, we explore every single occurrence of the phrase "I am he" (Greek: "ego eimi") in the Gospel of Luke in order to see if any of the speakers who utter the phrase are making a claim to be Yahweh, the God of Israel. We also explore the many ways in which the Lukan Jesus is distinguished from God in ways that never suggest that the two figured have collapsed into a single being.

From the beginning, the Scriptural God commanded biological reproduction—be fruitful and multiply. Reproduce biologically because the generation yet unborn cannot be created by studying or preaching the Torah. But remember that God is King, and they are his children, not yours. But the human beings did not listen. Cain multiplied himself, raising offspring to his own dynasty, dedicating Encoch and his seed—not to God's commandments—but to buildings of stone. This situation did not last very long. After the flood, God established the oneness of the human race through Noah's sons, demonstrating his intention that the nations live alongside each other under his rule. Among them was Shem, the forbear of Abraham, “by whom” God said, “all the families of the earth” shall be blessed. All.From the sons of Noah to the settlement in Canaan, the Israelites were destined to live alongside the Gentiles already dwelling in Canaan, yes, Canaan, the term artificially doubled by Luke at the climax of his genealogy. The stage was set from the beginning. Israel was never special or exceptional. They were one nation among many honored by Elohim with the special gift of his teaching. In the same way, the “prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee” (Matthew 21:11) had a special duty when God sent him to complete the work begun by Jonah of sharing this teaching. From Genesis to Revelation—the Bible is not Adam's story, Noah's, Abraham's, or Shem's, let alone Israel's; even David needed reminding when the Lord struck down his child by Bathsheba: Elohim is King and Judge. It is his dynasty, and they are his children, not yours. In obedience to Elohim, Jesus, the unremarkable human being, refused the throne. Jesus, the Lord, with no army, property, children, or toledot. Jesus, the last of the prophets, who rejected everything Herod represents and went on to die a loser, in total shame, with no value in human terms. The Lukan genealogy is what the Bible always was, the toledot of Elohim, and such a genealogy begins as it ends, bookended by the uncontested reign of our Heavenly King, who rules from age to age over all the nations.Richard and Fr.

According to the rule of the Lukan genealogy, the recent coronation of the English king was uncanny in its egregious assault on the biblical proclamation of the Resurrection. On the one hand, those who have stayed with this podcast over the years have (hopefully) come to understand that Scripture is a system of cancellation encoded in literary form. It is a divine story given to undermine everything wrought by the hand of humans, shutting down all that we say and do. We want Scriptural wisdom to be pro-human, but it's satirical. It makes fun of us. It criticizes us. We want to make the case that it does so for our sake. But it won't let us. Instead, it insists upon its rule for the sake of the entire creation, of which we humans are but a small part. In the teaching of the Resurrection, following the line of Isaiah, only God's instruction is allowed to stand out upon the earth. No human being - least of all a king may stand out - hence the crucifixion of Jesus. With this in mind, if you are trying to avoid transgressing St. Paul's teaching of the anti-Christ, let me give you some helpful advice: Don't make yourself stand out above all others on international screens with costly pomp and flare. Whatever you do, don't invite your subjects to swear fealty to you. Don't publish articles defending meaningless pageantry. Likewise, don't write a book complaining that you don't stand out. Don't do it. And for God's sake: If you have to be coronated, please do it quietly and not during the Paschal season, when we are warned repeatedly that there is only One whom the Father has anointed to stand out upon the earth.“And he shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom shall have no end.”Richard and Fr. Marc discuss Luke 3:27 (Episode 481) ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

If you are fortunate to live under the pressure of the Gospel, sooner or later, your life will be reduced to a showdown with the Scriptural God. You will have the opportunity to be embarrassed, admit your failure, lose face, and look foolish in front of the person who preached the word of God to you. The problem is that you, like your teacher (along with everyone else), are no different than King Herod, his Hasmonean predecessors, or the cowards who worshipped them. You are terrified of losing control. Better to hold on and defend yourself. Everything is fine. You are in the right. You are justified. It is you who are the victim. It is others who should be held to account. I'm the boss of me, right?  What's playing on Disney tonight? I just described the primary mechanism of the point of no return for every potential disciple. Each must face such a moment if we are serious about hearing Scripture. Not once, not twice, but over and over again. The first time, however, is the most critical. It is a kind of make-it-or-break opportunity along the lines of the Parable of the Sower. Why? Because cowardice and self-righteousness are evil twins. You fear the pain of the Bible's piercing critique, so you choose the comfort and self-assuredness of being in the right and build massive defenses. Some people (actually, a ton of people, unfortunately) build entire religions. They imagine that these religions are “Bible-based” when, in truth, they are “Bible-reactions.” How else could you look forward to the cataclysmic judgment and doom of the Scriptural Kingdom as though it were an upcoming trip to a members-only version of Disney Land? Thankfully, from generation to generation, the Lukan genealogy tells a different story - one that does not bode well for Herod, the Hasmoneans, and all those who are like them, everyone who trusts in them. Richard and Fr. Marc discuss Luke 3:26 (Episode 480) ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

When hearing the Lukan genealogy of Jesus in English, it's easy for people to adopt anti-scriptural notions of "king" and "priest,” developing incorrect expectations for how Jesus Christ will rule in the coming kingdom. But, as always, the key to hearing the author's story lies in the meaning of the names. Between two Josephs, who fail miserably at continuing what only God himself can sustain through his teaching, lies a squandered gift and a failed hope of men who claim that Elohim is their God but look instead to the line of priests and kings—institutional functionaries of the very Temple Luke destroyed at the outset of his story. These false teachers and rulers repeatedly lead—not only the sons of Israel—but all of God's children astray into oppression and slavery. Now, through God's intervention, their line and the cycle of oppression are finally disrupted with the birth of Jesus Christ. It sounds nice, like something Rich and I made up, but every last bit comes from the functional meaning of the names in the first two verses of the Lukan genealogy and their interaction with Genesis. Richard and Fr. Marc discuss Luke 3:23 (Episode 478) ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In the first chapters of Luke, just as the Spirit moves from womb to womb, beginning with the angel Gabriel, the commandment moves from person to person, ensuring that God's eudokia (his goodwill) is fulfilled—in the spirit of term—to his complete satisfaction. From Zacharias and Elizabeth to Mary and Joseph, and notably, the Shepherds of Israel, the commandment and the Spirit are the main actors in Luke, working overtime to ensure that the will of the Father is fulfilled in the story. As each roadblock falls: the temple, the priesthood, the seeking after signs, the ignorance of the Torah, there remains one final obstacle to the Father's objective: tribe and king. Along these lines, Herod stands out in the Lukan parade as one who does not receive the Spirit and openly rejects the commandment, shunning the Lord's prophet and locking him in prison. Has the Father been thwarted? With John out of the way, how can the command established in the beginning by the mouth of the Angel Gabriel be carried forward? Herod, the imposter. Herod, the builder of buildings. Herod, the trifler, who thought he could steal the inheritance of the Kingdom of the Gospel from the Lord's Christ by sealing John the Baptist up in a cage.To borrow a beautiful title from a beautiful woman, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.” Richard and Fr.

Universities, schools, and centers of faith are giving up on knowledge and selling out. What happened this past week at Hamline University indicates a trend in which an agenda other than the mission to impart knowledge controls what is permissible in the classroom. Knowledge is not a popularity contest. A teacher does not share information to offend or pacify feelings. A teacher imparts whatever they learn; they share whatever they discover and pass it on--be it historical, natural, or, if it concerns faith, Scriptural. Whatever they have uncovered remains, no matter what the students say, feel, or believe. That is why it does not matter when a disciple turns away from instruction. Like a 14th-century painting, the knowledge in question was there before them and will remain long after they return to the dust from which they were taken.  The Gentiles who seek to grow their universities have betrayed a sacred trust. In the Book of Acts, the second half of the Lukan diptych, the evangelist does not allow us to speak about growing the church. Instead, he forces us to surrender to St. Paul's gospel, hoping, against hope, that the word of the Lord, not the community, will grow and prevail mightily. (Acts 19:20) So long as our universities need students--or our churches need parishioners--there is no hope for growth in the knowledge of God, let alone basic instruction in art history. This week's episode is dedicated to the few and the proud--the teachers committed to teaching in the service of knowledge, not personal gain. Beginning with Professor Prater, you know who you are. May God lift you up and embolden you for the sake of the needy. Remember the words of the Lord's prophet. It's not you they hate. Richard and Fr. Marc discuss Luke 2:25-26. (Episode 464) ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

How to understand the Christian concept of God versus the pagan gods. Pope Benedict XVI (emeritus) wrote "Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives." In it he discusses the difference between mythic conceptions of divine birth, like the rape of Europa by Zeus and the Matthean and Lukan accounts of the virgin birth. Comparing the two, he focuses on how differently the divine is understood. He writes, "The difference between the concepts involved is so profound that one really cannot speak of true parallels. In the Gospel accounts, the oneness of the one God and the infinite distance between God and creature is fully preserved. There is no mixture, no demi-god. It is God's creative word alone that brings about something new. Jesus, born of Mary, is fully man and fully God, without confusion and without. " Pope Benedict XVI.

Everett Fitzhugh and Dave Tomlinson are joined by Andre Burakovsky after the win, while Mike Benton and Alison Lukan have reaction after the Seattle Kraken 8-5 win over the San Jose Sharks on Nov. 23 at Climate Pledge Arena.

At the beginning of Luke 2, the author sets up an artificial parallel between the Lukan “things accomplished among us” and Caesar's “decree that a census be taken.” Insofar as both attempts at setting the record straight take place under the authorship of the evangelist himself, far from an account of Roman history, the census set forth by Augustus is part of Luke's clever anti-history of the Roman Empire. Sadly, centuries later, it's hard to believe that the Kings James Bible's translators captured this irony since errors in their translation continue to betray a severe bias for their human master, who bears a striking resemblance to Luke's villain. Richard and Fr.

"LUKE 10:1-11 REFLECTION" Kids Ministry Coffee Break 48: A life of a minister can be tricky. Jesus' instructions to the 72 disciples offers us great wisdom in discerning how we serve our people. I hope you have found some treasure in the passage we are focusing on this week. It's tough to know what to do with these passages at times because they are SO demanding and, seemingly, irrelevant to our own day and practice. But… Some context. For much of Luke's middle portion, Jesus is establishing the parameters for what it is to be a disciple. Jesus has begun the famous Lukan journey to Jerusalem—after the Transfiguration, he sets his sight on Jerusalem and the reminder to the reader that he is ultimately headed there is repeated again and again. Jesus has a task. Jesus is set on completing that task. Along the way he reveals part of the ultimate plan of creating a new Israel, by calling 12 disciples to match the 12 tribes of Israel. He then gives them a new set of instructions on the Sermon on the Plain. Then Jesus encounters religious leader after religious leader. Maybe Pharisees, maybe Bible experts (legal experts/scribes), and even Sadducees. He is always juxtaposing how the life of a disciple is different than the religious leaders they are used to looking up to. As Jesus sends the 72 out, he gives them instructions that are all about NOT benefiting from the work. They can receive a place to stay and food to eat, for a worker deserves their pay, BUT…they are not to be picky. Whoever receives them in a town, they are to stay there and eat the food they prepare. If a more affluent person with better lodging and food offers them a place to stay on day 2, they are NOT to take it. Jesus doesn't want them to be confused with the religious leaders of the day who often expected pay for their presence and work. The work is about offering peace and healing to those who will receive it. If they won't receive it, then move on. How often do we all get caught up in the benefits of our work? Yes, most of the time we shoulder great burdens in ministry, but there are always people who want to offer us benefits beyond the expected. Yes, some people will not receive your peace and healing…because you may not bring what they expected. Yes, we can sometimes be tempted to play games and reap bigger rewards and blessings for what we do. Ministry is tricky. It's wonderful…but it's tricky. Any time we work with people, things have the potential to get more complicated than they have to. Some days you may feel like a lamb among wolves… Others you may feel like a well-attended to disciple of Jesus Christ… No matter what you are feeling and experiencing today in your ministry, trust that you are working for the Kingdom of God which comes to us and through us to those whom we serve. What happens from there is hardly in our control…except how we choose to respond. If you are facing trial today, brush off your feet the unnecessary burdens you may feel drawn to carry due the issues others are trying to place upon you. If you are struggling to discern what issues are yours vs. theirs, seek out help from colleagues and mentors. If you are witnessing blessing today, revel in the joy of serving Christ…and know that this too shall pass. Be blessed my friends. Trust in Jesus and serve the Kingdom no matter what…because the harvest is bigger than we can imagine… and the workers are few. Message brought to you by Rev.
