In this episode, we are going to take a closer look at Vancomycin, one of the most widely used antibiotics in the hospital setting and a medication that pharmacists frequently monitor. Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic primarily used to treat serious gram-positive infections, including those caused by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to the D-alanine–D-alanine portion of peptidoglycan precursors, which ultimately prevents the bacteria from forming a stable cell wall. Clinically, vancomycin is commonly used for infections such as bacteremia, endocarditis, osteomyelitis, and severe skin and soft tissue infections when resistant gram-positive organisms are suspected. One of the most important aspects of vancomycin therapy is therapeutic drug monitoring, as maintaining appropriate exposure is critical for both efficacy and safety. Current practice often focuses on achieving target AUC-to-MIC ratios rather than relying solely on trough levels. Pharmacists also play an important role in adjusting doses based on renal function and monitoring for adverse effects. Two key safety concerns with vancomycin are nephrotoxicity and vancomycin infusion-related reactions such as “red man syndrome,” which is characterized by flushing, rash, and hypotension if the medication is infused too rapidly. Throughout this episode, we will review the pharmacology, monitoring parameters, and clinical pearls that healthcare professionals should understand when managing patients receiving vancomycin therapy.

We took Pass the Mic to the dealership… and the answers on self-care and life were powerful.

What actually makes a strain feel “balanced” instead of just strong?In this episode, we break down Black Triangle, a strain that hits that rare middle ground. You feel it in your body, but your head stays clear. Relaxed without being stuck. Calm without checking out.This is one of those strains that challenges the idea that higher THC automatically means a better experience. Because this one proves it doesn't.What We Talk About:• Why Black Triangle feels like a true 50/50 hybrid, not just labeled that way• The difference between feeling “high” vs feeling good• How limonene and other terpenes shape the experience more than THC alone• Why this strain makes you more talkative instead of shutting you down• The surprising gap between THC percentage and actual effect• Vaporizer differences and how they impact what you feel• Why some devices hit harder even at the same temperature• A real-world test of how much is “too much” and what that actually feels likeThe Experience (Simple Version):Black Triangle is one of those strains where:• Your body loosens up• Your mind stays sharp• Conversations get easier• You feel present, not spaced outIt is not a couch-lock strain.It is not a jittery head high either.It sits right in the middle and does it well.What Stands Out:The terpene profile matters here.Limonene leads, which likely explains why this feels elevated without anxiety. Then you have support from other cannabinoids like CBD and THCV, which may be helping smooth things out.[Inference] Based on known terpene behavior, this combination leans toward mood support and clarity, not sedation.Who This Is For:• New consumers who want something balanced• Daily users who want to stay functional• Anyone who wants to feel good without feeling goneWhat We'd Skip or Question:There is a moment in this episode where a topical balm is said to cause a strong psychoactive effect.That is not how topicals are generally understood to work.Topicals typically do not enter the bloodstream in a way that causes a full-body high.[Unverified] That experience is anecdotal and likely influenced by other variables, not just the topical itself.Final Take:This is a reminder that cannabis is not about chasing the highest number.It is about how it feels.Black Triangle delivers a calm, clear, social experience that a lot of people are actually looking for but do not know how to describe.Rating: 8/10One of the better balanced hybrids we have had.If you want a strain that helps you stay in the moment without dragging you down or spinning you out, this is one worth trying.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

What happens when the host becomes the guest? Ina very special Episode 203 of On The Delo, Eric Walters of A Taste of AZ flips the mic to interview Delo and his father Ed DeLorenzo—the original "Delo"—in a rare, unfiltered father-son conversation about legacy, fitness, sales, and what it really means to build something that lasts.From Ed's Mr. Colorado bodybuilding titles and his 50+ years in insurance, to Delo's pivot from the music business into carving a restaurant hospitality niche, this conversation is packed with raw wisdom, honest stories, and real lessons on relationships, persistence, and knowing when to let go. The trio covers how the DeLorenzo legacy traces three generations—from Grandfather Guido selling kitchen equipment at iconic New York establishments, to Ed founding Ambassador Group, to Delo spending 26 years building a niche serving the hospitality industry. Along the way, they tackle the Pumpkin Patch Theory on firing bad clients, how honest selling beats slick tactics every time, health as a non-negotiable business pillar, and why people eating at their neighborhood restaurant still matter more than any transaction.If you've ever wondered how decades of experience pass from one generation to the next—or what it looks like to keep showing up at 77, five days a week—this one's for you.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 2:32) Role Reversal Intro: Eric Takes the Mic & Who Is the Original "Delo"?(2:33 - 4:20) Ed's Roots: Brooklyn, New Jersey, Colorado State Football & Moving West(4:21 - 7:30) The Fitness Foundation: Mr. Colorado, Working Out at 77 & Accountability(7:31 - 9:15) Pressure, Persistence & Knowing When Enough Is Enough(9:16 - 11:20) Three Generations: Grandfather Guido, Restaurant Roots & Ambassador Group(11:21 - 15:10) Sales Then vs. Now: Honest Selling, AI Disruption & The Human Advantage(15:11 - 21:00) Extrovert Introverts, Relationship Business & Firing Bad Clients(21:01 - 24:35) Delo's Story: Music, Diamond in the Rough & the First Restaurant Client(24:36 - 27:05) Learning from Dad: Breakfast Appointments, Phone Calls & Julian Wright(27:06 - 30:50) Health as Priority #1: Sobriety, Fitness & Knowing Your Numbers(30:51 - 34:10) Restaurant Trends: Drinking Less, Mocktails, Healthy Menus & Neighborhood Loyalty(34:11 - 37:25) The Future of Ambassador Group, Human Connection & Close

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/031426.cfmFather Anthony Gramlich, MIC, teaches that the Lenten journey begins with prayer, the foundation for all spiritual growth. Prayer is conversation with God, opening the heart to the Lord. Even five seconds to make the Sign of the Cross and offer thanks is sufficient. Time is the greatest gift God gives, and there is no excuse for neglecting prayer.Father Anthony distinguishes between quantity and quality of prayer. One prayer from the heart surpasses many from the lips. The Holy Spirit guides authentic prayer, praying through and with believers. Before praying, invoke the Holy Spirit to overcome distraction and focus the mind.Jesus presents two examples of prayer in the Gospel. The Pharisee represents how NOT TO pray. Though knowledgeable of the 613 commandments and scrupulous in observance, his prayer centered on himself. He thanked God he was not like others — greedy, dishonest, adulterers. His fasting, almsgiving, and prayer led to pride and judgment of others. Success in Lenten practices can breed arrogance if the heart remains unexamined.The tax collector exemplifies how TO pray. Ostracized by society for collaborating with Rome and enriching himself, he stood at a distance, eyes downcast, beating his breast. His prayer was simple: "O God, be merciful to me, a sinner." Directed toward God rather than himself, it embodied humility. He acknowledged his creature-hood, confessed his sinfulness, and pleaded for mercy.Father Anthony notes this prayer appears at Mass's beginning and before Holy Communion. We call on the Lamb of God, acknowledging unworthiness. God makes us worthy, not ourselves. Two groups fail to pray properly: those claiming no sin, blinded by pride, and those fearing God's justice without trusting His mercy.The tax collector recognized his sin yet trusted God's unlimited mercy. Jesus declared him justified. The moral proverb applies: everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted. Lent's purpose is humility. Whether succeeding or failing in Lenten practices, all roads lead to the cross.Salvation comes through Jesus on the cross, not human effort. Only at the foot of the cross, humbled like Mary and the disciples, do we find salvation. The resurrection follows the cross. The seed must die in the ground to rise. Lent takes believers through darkness and cold to the tomb with Christ, so they may rise with Him on the third day. ★ Support this podcast ★

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/031326.cfmFather Chris Alar, MIC, explains that the Ten Commandments form the moral foundation of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, rooted in natural law written on every human heart. The first three commandments shed light on how we should be loving God, while the remaining seven explain loving neighbor. Jesus summarized this dual commandment: Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.Father Chris clarifies common misconceptions about how Catholics number the commandments. Catholics follow the tradition of St. Augustine, while Protestants follow the Greek Fathers. Though numbered differently, the substance remains identical. The prohibition against graven images falls under the first commandment for Catholics, and is not treated as a separate second commandment.Father Chris highlights how Jesus transformed the commandment to love neighbor. In Leviticus, the context referred only to fellow Jews. Jesus removed all boundaries, declaring that religion consists of loving God and all people. Mercy emerges when these two commandments come together : loving the unlovable, forgiving the unforgivable — loving as God loves, and loving those whom God loves.This message defines a core component of the Marian Fathers' mission. Saint Paul taught that whoever loves their neighbor has fulfilled the law, while whoever hates their neighbor, yet claims to love God, is a liar. Mercy does not require friendship with those who have caused harm, but it does mean placing them prayerfully in God's hands without seeking vengeance. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, we kick off a brand new conversation about something many Christians never stop to question: what if some of the behaviors we've called “spiritual maturity” are actually survival patterns?We talk about three reasons churches often unintentionally reward unhealthy patterns, not because leaders are malicious, but because many of us were formed by the same systems ourselves. From self-shrinking that looks like humility, to overworking that looks like sacrifice, to people-pleasing that looks like love, this episode sets the stage for a deeper series on trauma responses disguised as godliness.If you've ever wondered whether a certain response in your life is actually healthy… or just familiar… this episode is for you.In this conversation, we cover:Why survival behaviors can look like spiritual maturityHow churches often reward what keeps systems stableWhy many leaders unknowingly reinforce the same unhealthy patterns they were taughtHow Jesus modeled security, wholeness, boundaries, and honestyWhy healing is not about becoming less spiritual, but more honestThis episode is a bridge into a new series where we'll unpack common Christian behaviors and ask: is this actually godly, or is it a trauma response?00:00 - Intro & Podcast Updates01:03 - Indiana Sports Talk02:20 - The 2:6 Life Recap02:58 - New Series: Godly Thought or Trauma Response?03:54 - Why Churches Reward Survival Patterns04:58 - Reason 1: Survival Behaviors Look Spiritual09:53 - Reason 2: Churches Reward What Keeps Things Stable11:53 - Reason 3: Leaders Were Formed by the Same Patterns15:23 - Jesus as the Model of Secure Wholeness16:25 - The Real Question: Survival or Spirituality?16:57 - Why This Series Matters18:27 - Next Week: False Humility & Receiving Affirmation20:31 - Closing Encouragement

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/031126.cfmFather Chris Alar, MIC, addresses a common misconception: that the Old Testament portrays God as harsh while, in contradiction, the New Testament reveals a loving Jesus. He explains that the Old Testament functions like parental guidance for children — setting boundaries to protect us — while the New Testament calls adults to a higher standard of love and self‑discipline. Jesus stated He came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it, completing the dietary and ritual requirements through His self-sacrifice on the Cross.Father Chris clarifies that Christians are no longer bound by Old Testament rules on diet, circumcision, or animal sacrifices, yet the fundamental moral law remains unchanged. The Council of Jerusalem confirmed that Gentile converts must uphold even counter-cultural moral teachings while being freed from ceremonial obligations. This distinction guards against both legalism and license: freedom from ritual law does not mean freedom from moral responsibility.Father Chris emphasizes that Jesus elevated moral standards to a supernatural level, a level that demands grace building on natural virtue, teaching that anger equates to murder and lust to adultery. Society often misuses Scripture to justify moral relativism, yet Christ's words to the adulteress — “Go and sin no more” — reveal that mercy demands transformation. Divine Mercy is not permission to continue in sin. The Ten Commandments summarize this dual call: reverence for God and respect for man, or in other words, love of God and neighbor. ★ Support this podcast ★

Not all gassy strains come in hot and punch you in the throat.This week on Cannabis School, we break down E85 from Buzz, a gas-forward flower that is way smoother and more balanced than the name might make you think. No, it does not hit like the worst gas station decision you could make for your car. This one is actually pretty damn nice.Using the Storz & Bickel Volcano, we found E85 to be smooth, mild on flavor, and surprisingly easy to enjoy for a gas strain. The aroma leans gassy, but it is not an over-the-top diesel bomb. The flavor stays pretty mellow, and the whole ride feels more polished than harsh.Where this strain really starts to stand out is in the cannabinoid and terpene profile.Top Terpenes:LimoneneBeta-CaryophylleneLinaloolAlpha-PineneBeta-PineneNotable Cannabinoids:CBGA: 10.2 mg/gCBG: 1 mg/gCBD: 0.9 mg/gThat combo matters.Higher CBG and CBGA levels can be especially interesting for people looking at cannabis for daytime pain support, especially in colder months when joints start acting like they are collecting rent. This episode gets into exactly that, how certain strains can help with pain without dropping you on the couch, and why those minor cannabinoids deserve a lot more attention than they usually get.We also get into topicals, homemade balm, tinctures, dabs, vaporizing, and why finding the right cannabis protocol is about way more than just smoking flower and hoping for the best.What We Talk About in This Episode:Buzz E85 and why it is smoother than most gas strainsWhy limonene, caryophyllene, linalool, and pinene make this one interestingHow CBG and CBGA can matter for daytime pain reliefWhy winter makes aches and inflammation hit differentHomemade cannabis balm and the very real impact topicals can haveWhy vaporizing can completely change the experience of a strainThe role of set, setting, and conversation in how a strain landsWhy some strains hit better solo and others shine sociallyConcentrates, tinctures, and dialing in cannabis beyond just flowerUtah cannabis laws and the weirdness around flower, flame, and enforcementHow E85 Felt for Us:This one came across as:EnergeticHappyCreativeFocusedChattySocialSmoothIt has enough lift to keep you engaged, enough calm to stay comfortable, and enough clarity that it feels useful instead of foggy. That makes it a really solid option for a Saturday strain, a social strain, or even a daytime work strain depending on what you are doing.It is not sleepy.It is not heavy.It is not one of those gas strains that makes you regret the inhale.It is just smooth, functional, and easy to like.Best Fit For:Daytime useSocial hangsSaturday errands and projectsCreative sessionsPeople looking for a smoother gas strainConsumers curious about CBG-rich flowerThings to Note:Heavy cottonmouth showed upSlight dry eyesSmooth vapor, very little coughingMild gas flavor, not overpoweringE85 from Buzz is one of those strains that reminds you why looking past THC percentage and into terpenes and cannabinoids actually matters. It is smooth, chatty, mood-lifting, and has enough pain-support potential to make it especially interesting for daytime consumers.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/031026.cfmFather David Gunter, MIC, begins by grounding us in the context of Daniel's prayer, addressing a people in exile who had faced the consequences of their own idolatry and disobedience. He reminds us that while the nation brought suffering upon itself through covenant violations, the core message of the reading is not God's wrath, but rather His unwavering fidelity. Even when we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.Father David draws a parallel between the ancient exile and our current times, where idolatry and paganism are rising again. Yet, the message is one of hope: God never changes. Citing the witness of the late EWTN show host and retreat leader Anna Maria Schmidt, who found hope amidst the rubble of World War II, Fr. David challenges us to ask if we truly believe the Father cares for us even when everything seems lost. The answer is a resounding yes. God is the only reality, and He looks after each of us at every moment.He emphasizes that our inheritance is not darkness, but the freedom and strength given through the Holy Spirit. He urges us to pray for inner strength so that Christ may dwell in our hearts. In a world that often feels like a perpetual dark moment, we are called to have the same confidence Daniel had: that God is still with His people, and will deliver them by His wonders. ★ Support this podcast ★

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/030826.cfmFather Chris Alar, MIC, invites you to pause, breathe, and recognize that the path back to God's house is always present. He begins by drawing our attention to the Samaritan well, where a woman deemed an outcast encounters the Bridegroom of the universe. In the longest dialogue of the Gospel of John, Christ breaks every barrier of gender, ethnicity, and past sin, offering “living water” that points to the Sacrament of Baptism.Father Chris explains that this water is not merely a metaphor; it is the very grace poured out in the sacramental fountain of baptism, cleansing us of original sin and welcoming us into the Body of Christ. He links the well‑scene to the nuptial mystery of the Church: Christ, the divine Bridegroom, seeks to unite with us, the Bride, through the covenant sealed at baptism and continually renewed in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.Pastorally, he emphasizes that the woman's story illustrates the universal invitation of Divine Mercy. Even those labeled “Samaritan,” “Gentile,” or “outcast” are called to the marriage feast of the Eucharist, where the Blood and Water flow together as the source of eternal life. Fr. Chris urges us to examine the false “spouses” of wealth, power, and pride that keep us from the true Bridegroom, and to turn to Confession as the means by which those chains are broken.He reminds the faithful that Divine Mercy Sunday magnifies this grace, offering a “second baptism” that wipes away temporal punishment. The homily culminates with a vivid picture of the Bridegroom entering the bride, a mystery fulfilled in Holy Communion, where the Holy Spirit dwells as living water, renewing us for the wedding feast of the Lamb.May this reminder stir within each of us a renewed desire to walk toward the altar of Christ, confident that the Bridegroom awaits with open arms. ★ Support this podcast ★

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/030926.cfmFather Matthew Tomeny, MIC, opens with a memorable story from Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen, who once welcomed a drunk woman into Saint Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. Rather than turning her away, he offered her tea and promised not to ask her to go to confession — until she returned sober and ready to encounter God's mercy.Father Matthew connects this to the Scripture reading of Naaman the leper, who expected an extraordinary cure but was healed by the simple act of dipping seven times in the Jordan River. Salvation does not require grand quests or heroic feats. Instead, the Sacraments of the Church provide the ordinary means by which God cleanses our souls and restores our union with Him.Through Baptism, Jesus washes away our sins. Through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, He continues to cleanse us when we fall. And through the Eucharist, we express that communion in the most intimate way possible. Father Matthew emphasizes that holiness is intended for all people, regardless of their past. Just as Archbishop Sheen did not write off the drunk woman, neither should we write off anyone who struggles.Continual repentance—the virtue of penance—keeps our hearts aligned with God's will. When we are in order with God, trials lose their power to derail us. Take advantage of these simple ways to holiness and share that satisfaction with others. ★ Support this podcast ★

The Catholic Church teaches that when someone takes their own life, it doesn't mean that they automatically lose their soul.

Father Anthony Gramlich, MIC, reminds us that the Parable of the Prodigal Son remains one of the most powerful stories Jesus ever told. He used it to answer the scandal of dining with tax collectors and prostitutes — those whom the Pharisees despised. In the Gospel, the younger son demands his inheritance, abandons his father's house, and squanders his wealth in a foreign land, even tending swine. The vivid image of a pig‑sty, mud‑covered and foul‑smelling, forces us to confront the depths of our own waywardness.When famine drives the prodigal to hunger, he finally sees his reflection in a puddle and asks, “Who have I become?” That moment of self‑recognition is the turning point for every sinner: the realization that the life we have built on empty promises cannot satisfy the soul's deepest hunger. He returns home, not as a son, but as a servant, pleading for a place among the hired workers.The father's response shatters our expectations. He runs to meet his son, embraces him, kisses him, and orders the finest robe, a ring, and new sandals. He does not wait for the son to finish his confession; forgiveness has already been given. The washing, the robe, and the celebratory feast with a fattened calf illustrate the fullness of God's mercy—grace that restores, not merely pardons.The older brother, representing those who cling to legalism, reacts with anger and jealousy. He cannot see that the father's love is not a limited resource; it expands to encompass both sons. The father gently corrects him, declaring that everything he has is also the older son's, but that a lost son has been found. This dialogue invites us to examine our own hearts: Are we the resentful elder, measuring God's love by our own merit, or the wayward child humbled by hunger for divine grace?Lent calls us to the same journey. Like the prodigal, we are invited to return, even with impure motives, because the Father's compassion does not require perfect intention — only a willingness to come home. The sacramental life — Baptism, the Eucharist, Confession — provides the water that washes away the mud of our sins, renewing us as beloved children of God.May the Blessed Virgin intercede that we, whether prodigal or faithful, open our hearts to the Father's boundless mercy, allowing His love to transform our lives and to bear fruit that glorifies Him. ★ Support this podcast ★

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/030526.cfmFather Mark Baron, MIC, invites us to ask the vital question that unites today's readings and the responsorial psalm: Where is your heart rooted? Isaiah portrays the faithful believer as a tree planted beside flowing waters, its roots drawing nourishment so that it remains green even in drought. In contrast, a heart that trusts in flesh becomes a barren bush, exposed to the scorching heat and light of the desert.The theme of trust pervades the Divine Mercy revelations of St. Faustina. To trust someone, we must recognize three qualities: the ability to help; the wisdom to guide; and the goodness that cares. Father Mark likens this to a physician — trained, wise, and compassionate — who earns our confidence. In the same way, God is all‑powerful, all‑wise, and all‑good; recognizing these attributes allows us to lean on Him, opening our hearts to His mercy.Trust in God is not merely abstract; it finds concrete expression in the Sacraments. Baptism immerses us in the living water promised by Scripture, initiating us into the grace that sustains our spiritual growth. The Eucharist continually refreshes that same water, while the Sacrament of Reconciliation clears the soil of our hearts so new roots may take hold.During this Lenten season, Fr. Mark urges us to examine our own roots. Are we seeking security in material success, as the rich man of the parable did, or are we planting ourselves beside the divine stream, like Lazarus whose name means “God has helped”? He calls us to pray for the Holy Spirit to reveal the blind spots that keep us from true reliance on the Father. ★ Support this podcast ★

Cleansing and Rebuilding the Temple (1) (audio) David Eells, 3/8/26   Jerusalem & Temple Destroyed & Born Again B. A. - 06/04/2014 (David's notes in red) (Eze.13:14) So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. (15) Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered mortar; and I will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it; 16 to wit, the prophets of Israel that prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and that see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord Jehovah.  Just as people must die to self and be born again from above, so must Jerusalem and its temple. Why was rebellious Jerusalem, the capital of the Jews, torn down with its temple and its people crucified and killed in heaps? Their temple represented them and Jerusalem those who were to be the Bride. Josephus, the historian who wrote their history, said it was because of the way they treated Jesus and His disciples. It appears that Josephus believed that Jesus was the Messiah. This is a type that is coming to pass in our day in the so-called Church. For Paul said to the mostly Gentile Church that what happened to the Jews was a type for what will happen to the mostly Gentile Church at the ends of the ages. (1Co.10:11) Now these things happened unto them by way of example (Greek: “shadow” or “type”); and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. So what happened historically is a type for this day. Today, in the end of this age, the rebellious leadership of God's people, the false Man-child and Bride, represented by unregenerate Jerusalem, have crucified Jesus as He said, (Mat.25:40) And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, [even] these least, ye did it unto me. As the Dragon, Satan's body, including this false leadership, seeks to devour the Man-child and destroy the Bride for its own egotistical reasons. God has set them as a mark for the Beast to conquer. The Beast, which in Revelation 17 is inhabited by a body of spirits from the abyss, represents a body of people outside of Christ that will be used as a vessel of dishonor to destroy spiritually and, in some cases, physically these rebellious religious leaders and their people from the different sects of apostate Christianity. Some would say, “David, doesn't Jerusalem get destroyed after seven years, as a type of the 70 years?” Yes, but in a spiritual way, it is happening now as the leadership of apostate Christianity becomes more and more devoured by the mind and spirits of the Beast. As Jesus said of these evil leaders, (Mat.23:27) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. (28) Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. (29) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and garnish the tombs of the righteous, (30) and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we should not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. (31) Wherefore ye witness to yourselves, that ye are sons of them that slew the prophets.  (32) Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. (33) Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape the judgment of hell? (34) Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them shall ye kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city: (35) that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth (this was also said of the Harlot in Revelation 17:24), from the blood of Abel the righteous unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar. Clearly, the Harlot has been around since Cain killed Abel. (36) Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. As Jesus said of these hypocrites and their city and temple, (37) O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! (38) Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. (39) For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord. (24:1) And Jesus went out from the temple and was going on his way; and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple. (2) But he answered and said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. (Gal.4:22) For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the handmaid, and one by the freewoman. (23) Howbeit the [son] by the handmaid is born after the flesh; but the [son] by the freewoman [is born] through promise. (24) Which things contain an allegory: for these [women] are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children unto bondage, which is Hagar. (25) Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and answereth to the Jerusalem that now is: for she is in bondage with her children. (26) But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother. (Rev.3:12) He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh (present tense) down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name. 13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. (Jer.3:12) Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith Jehovah; I will not look in anger upon you; for I am merciful, saith Jehovah, I will not keep [anger] for ever. (13) Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against Jehovah thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith Jehovah. (14) Return, O backsliding children, saith Jehovah; for I am a husband unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: (15) and I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. (16) And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith Jehovah, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of Jehovah; neither shall it come to mind; neither shall they remember it; neither shall they miss it; neither shall it be made any more. (17) At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Jehovah; and all the nations (Gentiles) shall be gathered unto it, to the name of Jehovah, to Jerusalem (notice that this heavenly Jerusalem will be synonymous with the name, meaning “nature, character and authority” of the Lord): neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart. (18) In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the North (Beast captivity) to the land that I gave for an inheritance unto your fathers. (19) But I said, How I will put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of the nations! and I said, Ye shall call me My Father, and shall not turn away from following me. (20) Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah. (21) A voice is heard upon the bare heights, the weeping [and] the supplications of the children of Israel; because they have perverted their way, they have forgotten Jehovah their God. (22) Return, ye backsliding children, I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we are come unto thee; for thou art Jehovah our God.  B.A.'s dream: I dreamed that I was in Jerusalem (Zion) and I was watching as Titus and his army (of the Roman Beast of that day) were tearing down the temple with battering rams and large ropes. I listened as Titus gave orders to his army: “Tear these walls down! I don't want one stone left standing upon another!” (Luk.19:41) And when he (Jesus) drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it, (42) saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. (43) For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, (44) and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.  Titus said, “This temple is a mockery and must be destroyed!” (Jer.6:15) Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall; at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith Jehovah. (16) Thus saith Jehovah, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk therein. (Jer.14:15) Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed. (Mic.1:6) Therefore I will make Samaria as a heap of the field, and as places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will uncover the foundations thereof.  My thoughts: (Act.17:24) The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands. (Jer.7:3) Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. (4) Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah (which had become corrupt), the temple of Jehovah, are these. (5) For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor; (6) if ye oppress not the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your own hurt: (7) then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even for evermore. (8) Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. (9) Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods that ye have not known, (10) and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered; that ye may do all these abominations? (The Temple of the Lord had become corrupt.)  (11) Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, saith Jehovah. (12) But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. (13) And now, because ye have done all these works, saith Jehovah, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not: (14) therefore will I do unto the house which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh. (15) And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim. (16) Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me; for I will not hear thee. (17) Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? B.A.: Titus had such a stern (determined) look on his face, like he was being driven to destroy this useless temple (made by man's hands, the hands or works of the flesh) and I found myself agreeing with him. I began shouting, “Yes, tear these walls down! This isn't the house of God! Jesus isn't in this place! This place is just a den of thieves! (Mat.21:12) And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of he money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves; (13) and he saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers. (Is it not so today? Look how the leaders live after the lusts of their flesh. This did not Jesus and His disciples do.) Soon it was over and all those useless stones (apostates and their leaders who had been robbing God's people) were torn down, and they littered the ground. This reminded me of the “Third Vision” in The Shepherd of Hermas: “Concerning the Building of the Triumphant Church, and the Various Classes of Reprobate Men”:  And then she again took hold of me by the hand, and raised me, and made me sit on the seat to the left; and lifting up a splendid rod, she said to me, “Do you see something great?” And I say, “Lady, I see nothing”. She said to me, “Lo! do you not see opposite to you a great tower, built upon the waters, of splendid square stones?” For the tower was built square by those six young men who had come with her. But myriads of men were carrying stones to it (We are the living stones of the true house of God.), some dragging them from the depths, others removing them from the land, and they handed them to these six young men. They were taking them and building; and those of the stones that were dragged out of the depths, they placed in the building just as they were: for they were polished and fitted exactly into the other stones, and became so united one with the another that the lines of juncture could not be perceived. And in this way, the building of the tower looked as if it were made out of one stone. (Representing those who have been baptized in the water of the Word unto death to self.) Those stones, however, which were taken from the earth suffered a different fate; for the young men rejected some of them, some they fitted into the building, and some they cut down, and cast far away from the tower. (reprobated) Many other stones, however, lay around the tower, and the young men did not use them in building; for some of them were rough, others had cracks in them, others had been made too short, and others were white and round (too much flesh or wealth), but did not fit into the building of the tower. Moreover, I saw other stones thrown far away from the tower, and falling into the public road; yet they did not remain on the road, but were rolled into a pathless place. And I saw others falling into the fire and burning, others falling close to the water, and yet not capable of being rolled into the water, though they wished to be rolled down and to enter the water. (Those needing God's will in them to love the Word) The old unregenerate temple must die and be born again. (Zec.6:12) and speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build the temple of Jehovah (Jesus in the Man-child ministry of Revelation 12 as spiritual sons of David); (13) even he shall build the temple of Jehovah; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. (14) And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah. (15) And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you. (Jesus is coming as the epiphany (or shining forth from) in His new leadership.) And [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah your God. Our spiritual forefathers came to heavenly Jerusalem when they walked in the steps of Jesus in truth and righteousness, but the fleshly church was driven from the land by the beastly flesh shortly thereafter. The restoration is beginning again. (Heb.12:18) For ye are not come unto [a mount] that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, (19) and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which [voice] they that heard entreated that no word more should be spoken unto them; (20) for they could not endure that which was enjoined, If even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned; (21) and so fearful was the appearance, [that] Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake: (22) but ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels. B.A.: I was so happy, as I knew that this temple (apostate leadership) would no longer be able to inflict anymore pain on God's people. (Eze.14:4) Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel that taketh his idols into his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I Jehovah will answer him therein according to the multitude of his idols; (5) that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols. (6) Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Return ye, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. (7) For every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that separateth himself from me, and taketh his idols into his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet to inquire for himself of me; I Jehovah will answer him by myself:  (8) and I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment, for a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. (9) And if the prophet be deceived and speak a word, I, Jehovah, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. (10) And they shall bear their iniquity: the iniquity of the prophet shall be even as the iniquity of him that seeketh unto him; (11) that the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither defile themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord Jehovah. For the past several days, I've been hearing in the Spirit, “Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord”. (Jas.4:10) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you.    Temple of Crucified Saints  B. A. - 03/21/2014 (David's notes in red) I had a little dream this morning. I had a similar dream several years ago, but I was not with any group of people. When I first had this dream, I was confused because I did not have the understanding that I do now. It wasn't until a few years later that the Lord revealed the meaning to me, and now I had the dream again.  This time, I dreamed I was standing in the midst of a special group of people (Man-child/Bride corporate body) and we were all dressed like they were back in the days of our Lord, Jesus. (Job.29:14) I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: My justice was as a robe and a diadem. (Rom.13:14) But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. (Gal.5:16) But I say, walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. (Col.3:12) Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering; (13) forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye: (14) and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. I watched as people came up to our little group, one at a time. As each individual approached our group, they went up to the elder (Jesus) who was standing at the front of the group, and they showed the elder their hands and their feet. I watched as the elder took hold of their hands and looked for the “nail holes” in their hands, and then he looked down at their feet to see if they also had nail holes in their feet as well; there had to be a “total crucifixion” (of self), or they could not join our group. (Rom.5:6) For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly. (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. (Rom.14:7) For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself. (1Co.6:17) But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. (2Co.5:14) For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died; (Gal.1:4) who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father: (5) to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen. I watched as one person was turned away, and I prayed for him, as he was very sad because he had not been accepted. Suddenly, I heard the elder (Jesus) shout, “Saints, we are now ready (or qualified)! Let's go restore the temple of God! (Those crucified with Christ are ready to be the stones of the foundation of the temple of God. Cyrus, whom the Lord called His anointed shepherd or Messiah shepherd, as a type of Jesus in Isaiah 44:26 - 45:1, is prophesied to build Jerusalem, the Bride, and lay the foundation of the temple. Cyrus/Jesus set the first-fruits of Judah/Benjamin free from Babylonian captivity, as a type of crucifixion, to go and do this.)  B.A,:(Ezr.1:1) Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, (2) Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, the God of heaven, given me; and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. (3) Whosoever there is among you of all his people, his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Jehovah, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem (the Bride). (4) And whosoever is left, in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the freewill-offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem. (5) Then rose up the heads of fathers' houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred to go up to build the house of Jehovah which is in Jerusalem. (6) And all they that were round about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered. (7) Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of Jehovah (The holy people of God), which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods; (8) even those did Cyrus king of Persia (A type of Trump) bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah. (These are the days of Cyrus(9) And this is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, a thousand platters of silver, nine and twenty knives, (10) thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand. (11) All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar (The Man-child) bring up, when they of the captivity were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem. (Ezra means “help or court”, and I thought it was interesting that Ezra chapter 1 ends with verse 11, (1:11) or “111” and many of us are seeing 111 almost daily.) (111 is the Gematria for the birth of Jesus in the New Testament and type of the end-time Man-child body. For years, I would ask for a word for myself through random faith and often was given the same verse many times until I quit counting: (Ezr.6:5) And also let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to its place; and thou shalt put them in the house of God. At other times, I received: (5:15) and he said unto him, Take these vessels, go, put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in its place. These gold and silver vessels are the first-fruits people of God who build and are the foundation of the temple.) Another text we have received concerning this is in Haggai. In chapter 1, the people were exhorted to stop building their own houses and build God's house, and they obeyed, for which God rebuked the devourer and blessed them mightily in chapter 2. Also in chapter 2, He compared their coming out of captivity to build God's house, like when their fathers came out of Egypt to build the tabernacle in the wilderness. Of these two times, He spoke of a great shaking of Heaven and Earth, which is a type for us today who are about to build Father's temple made without hands. A great shaking is now coming.  (Hag.2:3) Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes as nothing? (4) Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel (meaning “born from Babylon”; a type of the Man-child), saith Jehovah; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest (a type of Jesus with the Man-child); and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith Jehovah, and work: for I am with you, saith Jehovah of hosts, (5) [according to] the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, and my Spirit abode among you: fear ye not. (6) For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;  (7) and I will shake all nations; and the precious things (Hebrew: “desire”; i.e., Jesus in the Man-child) of all nations (of God's people) shall come; and I will fill this house with glory, saith Jehovah of hosts. We can see that the great shaking will begin with the laying of the foundation of God's temple with those who are crucified with Christ. (8) The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith Jehovah of hosts. The silver and gold of God's people have become His at this time. Also, gold and silver were given to Israel as they were leaving Egypt, as it will be today, to build the temple of God, His people. (9) The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, saith Jehovah of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith Jehovah of hosts. The first house was letter and physical; the last house is spirit, made without man's works. B.A.: Then, at the end of this dream, I saw the “Spirit” of Jesus. Three years ago, I had this very same vision. But I was a young believer at the time and I didn't have the revelation of what the vision was about until much later, as I grew in the Lord. Vision: I saw the Spirit of Jesus. He was very tall and light was illuminating out of His Spirit all around Him. I watched as little particles (which later were revealed to me to be DNA cells) were coming from every direction and attaching themselves to His Spirit. I got the revelation that as each one of us is crucified with Jesus Christ and dies to self, we are part of His body, and we go back to Him because we came from Him (Because our born-again man is created by His Word, which is His DNA.). Come, Lord Jesus, come! I asked the Father for a verse for the dream, and He gave me (Act.3:21) whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, whereof God spake by the mouth of His holy prophets that have been from of old. (When we are restored, it is Jesus manifested in us in spirit and soul. He said, He was coming as the Latter Rain outpouring after two days or two thousand years on the morning of the third day. Hos 6:1  Come, and let us return unto Jehovah; for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 2  After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him. 3  And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth. Jesus the Man-child type was the first to receive the Former Rain and Jesus coming in the Man-child body is coming as the Latter Rain.)   Man-child Will Purify God's House C. P. 02/25/21 (David's notes in red) In this dream, I was in our house with my husband and David Eells (Representing the first fruits David Man-Child reformers) was there too. He had white hair down to his shoulders and looked more like Moses than himself. He was wearing an ancient sort of clothing. (David's hair represents the increasing glory – 30, 60 and 100 fold; (Mar.4:20) And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.) He covered his white hair with a little black/dark hat.) (Moses' face shown with the glory of God so bright that he had to veil that glory when He went before the people. But he took the veil off when he went before God in order to receive more of His glory.  The reason the David Man-child reformers look like Moses is this: (Act.3:22-23) Moses indeed said, A prophet shall the Lord God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me; to him shall ye hearken in all things whatsoever he shall speak unto you. (23) And it shall be, that every soul that shall not hearken to that prophet, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people. You would probably say, but Jesus fulfilled that and I would say you're correct. But Jesus said He was coming a second time as a Man-child born to a woman and this is in Revelation 12. We read in (Joh.16:21-22) A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world. (22) And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you. Jesus first came in a body of the Son of David, and so He will be now in a corporate body of spiritual Davids, the man-child, by His Word and Spirit. History always repeats with larger groups of people. In a vision I have shared parts of, I saw the Man-child body of 144,000 at the throne of God to be anointed.) C.P.: David was walking through our house, making sure everything was white – furniture, walls, etc. He had a paintbrush in his hand. (This is pointing to another dual fulfilled prophecy with Jesus starring in this, too. (Mal.3:1-3) Behold, I send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom ye desire, behold, he cometh, saith Jehovah of hosts. (2) But who can abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: (3) and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer unto Jehovah offerings in righteousness. Representing the white House of God with Jesus as the head.) C.P.: Some other people – perhaps younger women- were walking behind him, asking him, “Why are you doing this?” (The more immature women in Song of Solomon did not understand the Brides radical running after the Groom.) He replied, “It's got to get done”. I said to him, “David, everything is already white. We've already painted it. The exterior of the house is old, but it, too, is white”. David replied, “Yes, but we must get rid of the cracks”. (2Co.7:1) Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. When the Man-child is anointed, Jesus will complete the work in us. Also, when David became king, he destroyed the Edomites who factioned or separated people against their own brethren. The factious represent the cracks that separate God's people.)  C.P.: David then went into the dining room and gave our already white dining table another coat of paint. He repainted our already white chairs white again and even painted the chrome-colored chair legs white. (The dining room is where the unleavened bread, the spiritual food of the Word, is served. (1Co.13:9-12) For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; (10) but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. (11) When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things. (12) For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known.) C.P.: Then David looked at the only wooden unpainted piece of furniture – a side buffet table, and with his paintbrush, he painted it white. Someone asked him, “Why does this also need to be painted? It's never used”. He replied, “I can't wait for someone else to do it. I must do it now”. (Everything that displays the unleavened bread of the Word must be purified. The Man-child will be first in our day with the pure Word by Father's grace. Jesus said in (Joh.9:4-5) We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. (5) When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.) C.P.: (Psa.51:7-13) Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. (8) Make me to hear joy and gladness, That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. (9) Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities. (10) Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me. (11) Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy Holy Spirit from me. (12) Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit. (13) Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto thee. David was working the whole time feverishly, his body so energetic, his steps were energetic and fast paced, his hands were nimble and quick. But he was calm and spoke quietly. He was smiling and was at ease doing this job. (It is Jesus in the Man-child Who will do the Work. (Mat.12:18-21) Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; My beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit upon him, And he shall declare judgment to the Gentiles. (19) He shall not strive, nor cry aloud; Neither shall any one hear his voice in the streets. (20) A bruised reed shall he not break, And smoking flax shall he not quench, Till he send forth judgment unto victory. (21) And in his name shall the Gentiles hope. (Mat.10:19-20) ...be not anxious how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak. (20) For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you.) C.P.: Then he said, “Come, we need to sit under the table and pray for protection”. So my husband, David, and I, and these other young women whom I did not know, sat under the table, as if we were preparing for an earthquake. (Great earthquakes, spiritual and physical, are coming and many will die. The Man-child Jesus was resurrected with a great earthquake. Being under the authority of the food of God's Word on the table will bring growth and protection. (Psa.27:5) For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion: In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me; He will lift me up upon a rock. (Psa.91:1) He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (2) I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. (3) For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence. … (7) A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. … (10) There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. … (14) Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. (15) He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.) C.P.: My husband took his phone out and showed me how the screen was now completely white. (We are not to look upon evil, deception, or impurity for the eye is a gateway to the soul.) There was a simple definition in black newspaper font typed on the screen: Christian (n): They will be destroyed because they worshipped another Messiah (a False Jesus and Word). (The flesh wants only a flesh-pleasing Jesus, and religion is the same, but we are not to look on such deception, but only God's pure Word. There will be no protection for those who depart from the pure Word and its promises. (Isa.8:20) To the law and to the testimony! if they speak not according to this word, surely there is no morning for them. (Rev.22:18-20) I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book: (19) and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. (20) He who testifieth these things saith, Yea: I come quickly. Amen: come, Lord Jesus.) C.P.: I woke up and received the following by faith at random, and my finger landed on “watch out” and “Life does not consist” in Luke 12:15 (NIV). Here is the ASV version: (Luk.12:15) And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. (This is a very important warning for the true people of God at this point in time for great prosperity will come to test you. Please read this carefully: (1Ti.6:5-10) wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain. (6) But godliness with contentment is great gain: (7) for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out; (8) but having food and covering we shall be therewith content. (9) But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition. (10) For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.)  Filling in the cracks in this dream to perfect the house and purify it reminds us of this revelation of Hermas.    The Shepherd of Hermas: Vision of the Tower Chapters 5-7 “The building of the tower will be finished, and all will rejoice together around the tower, and they will glorify God, because the tower is finished.” I asked her, saying, “Lady, I should like to know what became of the stones, and what was meant by the various kinds of stones?” In reply she said to me, “Not because you are more deserving than all others that this revelation should be made to you … Tell them that all these things are true, and that none of them is beyond the truth. All of them are firm and sure, and established on a strong foundation.” “Hear now, with regard to the stones which are in the building. Those square white stones which fitted exactly into each other, are apostles, bishops, teachers, and deacons, who have lived in godly purity, and have acted as bishops and teachers and deacons chastely and reverently to the elect of God. Some of them have fallen asleep, and some still remain alive. And they have always agreed with each other, and been at peace among themselves, and listened to each other. On account of this, they join exactly into the building of the tower.” “But who are the stones that were dragged from the depths, and which were laid into the building and fitted in with the rest of the stones previously placed in the tower?” “They are those who suffered for the Lord's sake.” “But I wish to know, O Lady, who are the other stones which were carried from the land.” “Those,” she said, “which go into the building without being polished, are those whom God has approved of, for they walked in the straight ways of the Lord and practiced His commandments.” “But who are those who are in the act of being brought and placed in the building?” “They are those who are young in faith and are faithful. But they are admonished by the angels to do good, for no iniquity has been found in them.” “Who then are those whom they rejected and cast away?” “These are they who have sinned, and wish to repent. On this account they have not been thrown far from the tower, because they will yet be useful in the building, if they repent. Those then who are to repent, if they do repent, will be strong in faith, if they now repent while the tower is building. For if the building be finished, there will not be more room for anyone, but he will be rejected. This privilege, however, will belong only to him who has now been placed near the tower.” “As to those who were cut down and thrown far away from the tower, do you wish to know who they are? They are the sons of iniquity, and they believed in hypocrisy, and wickedness did not depart from them. For this reason they are not saved, since they cannot be used in the building on account of their iniquities. Wherefore they have been cut off and cast far away on account of the anger of the Lord, for they have roused Him to anger. But I shall explain to you the other stones which you saw lying in great numbers, and not going into the building. Those which are rough are those who have known the truth and not remained in it, nor have they been joined to the saints. On this account are they unfit for use.” “Who are those that have rents?” “These are they who are at discord in their hearts one with another, and are not at peace amongst themselves: they indeed keep peace before each other, but when they separate one from the other, their wicked thoughts remain in their hearts. These, then, are the rents which are in the stones. But those which are shortened are those who have indeed believed and have the larger share of righteousness; yet they have also a considerable share of iniquity, and therefore they are shortened and not whole.” “But who are these, Lady, that are white and round, and yet do not fit into the building of the tower?” She answered and said, “How long will you be foolish and stupid, and continue to put every kind of question and understand nothing? These are those who have faith indeed, but they have also the riches of this world. When, therefore, tribulation comes on account of their riches and business, they deny the Lord.” I answered and said to her, “When then, will they be useful for the building, Lady?” “When the riches that now seduce them have been circumscribed, then will they be of use to God. For as a round stone cannot become square unless portions be cut off and cast away, so also those who are rich in this world cannot be useful to the Lord unless their riches be cut down. Learn this first from your own case. When you were rich, you were useless; but now you are useful and fit for life. Be ye useful to God; for you also will be used as one of these stones.” “Now the other stones which you saw cast far away from the tower, and falling upon the public road and rolling from it into pathless places, are those who have indeed believed, but through doubt have abandoned the true road. Thinking, then, that they could find a better, they wander and become wretched, and enter upon pathless places. But those which fell into the fire and were burned are those who have departed for ever from the living God; nor does the thought of repentance ever come into their hearts, on account of their devotion to their lusts and to the crimes which they committed. Do you wish to know who are the others which fell near the waters, but could not be rolled into them? These are they who have heard the word and wish to be baptized in the name of the Lord; but when the chastity demanded by the truth comes into their recollection, they draw back and again walk after their own wicked desires.” She finished her exposition of the tower. But I, shameless as I yet was, asked her, “Is repentance possible for all those stones which have been cast away and did not fit into the building of the tower, and will they yet have a place in this tower?” “Repentance,” said she, “is yet possible, but in this tower they cannot find a suitable place.” (In other words, they will not be among the first-fruits but will have to be crucified of their sinful nature.) “But in another and much inferior place they will be laid, and that, too, only when they have been tortured and completed the days of their sins. And on this account will they be transferred, because they have partaken of the righteous Word. And then only will they be removed from their punishments when the thought of repenting of the evil deeds which they have done has come into their hearts. But if it does not come into their hearts, they will not be saved, on account of the hardness of their heart.”    House of Idle = Idols Sandy Shaw - 08/29/2011 (David's notes in red) Sandy Shaw called me on 3/14/21 and said the Lord told her that this dream is to be shared for the time we are in now. On 3/13/21, Sandy said, “I woke up at 3:33 am and was having trouble going back to sleep, so I started praying and was able to go back to sleep. I then dreamed I was sitting on a bench under the shade of a tree on a really sunny day.  I was looking across a field when, all of a sudden, I felt the presence of God behind and around me. I was terrified to turn around and look. He placed His hand on my right shoulder and said, “Sandra, remember your Idle/Idol dream? That's for now! Share it.” When I woke up, the clock said 5:55 am. (God will give grace to overcome) So here is the dream below that the Lord was saying is for NOW:  In a dream, I was standing in front of a house with Spanish-style stucco. (This represents the house of apostate Christianity. Jesus warned us that the house that was built on sand would not survive the storm of life, and the three little pigs warned us that houses of inferior material wouldn't stand up to the big bad wolf. He warned that the house built on obedience to the Word will stand. The stucco in this house is like untempered mortar. (Eze.13:8-11) Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have spoken falsehood, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord Jehovah. (9) And my hand shall be against the prophets that see false visions, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah. (10) Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and when one buildeth up a wall, behold, they daub it with untempered mortar: (11) say unto them that daub it with untempered mortar, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it. … (14) So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. (Eze.22:28) And her prophets have daubed for them with untempered mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, when Jehovah hath not spoken.) There was a patio to get to the front door of this house. I saw people on the patio talking on cell phones and playing games on the Internet. Girls were talking to their boyfriends, making idle chit-chat, etc. I noticed a man standing next to me and I didn't know who he was until he spoke and asked, “How does this edify Me?” Realizing that it was Jesus talking, I said, “Lord, forgive us; we don't realize”. (The house or tabernacle being covered with Spanish-style stucco represents our old nature that is foreign to the Lord and the self-delusion that is contrary to righteousness in serving a false Jesus of our own making. (Eze.22:24-30) Son of man, say unto her, Thou art a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation. (25) There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in the midst thereof. (26) Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths (ceasing from our own works), and I am profaned among them. (27) Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain. (28) And her prophets have daubed for them with untempered mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, when Jehovah hath not spoken. (29) The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery; yea, they have vexed the poor and needy, and have oppressed the sojourner wrongfully. (30) And I sought for a man among them, that should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none.) We walked across the patio and through the front door into the house. To the left was an area full of people watching TVs. All different types of TVs: old consoles, new flat screens, etc. -- all sizes. I saw old TV programs: Father Knows Best, The Patty Duke Show, The Andy Griffith Show, and an old game show. (Oh, how things have changed!)  I heard “Queen for a Day”. There were soap operas on. The Lord asked, “How does this edify Me?” I said, “I'm sorry, Lord”. (Rev.18:2-8) ...Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird. (3) For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her wantonness. (4) And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues: (5) for her sins have reached even unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. (6) Render unto her even as she rendered, and double unto her the double according to her works: in the cup which she mingled, mingle unto her double. (7) How much soever she glorified herself, and waxed wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall in no wise see mourning. (8) Therefore in one day shall her plagues come, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God who judged her.) To the right side of the room was an area full of computers: new, old, big, small, fancy, iPads, etc. Children were doing homework on Facebook and MySpace — social chat sites. People were playing games and doing work. I got closer to their faces and saw their eyes were big and round like silver dollars, staring at the screen. A big clock is seen with its hands spinning quickly, as if to say, 24-7, this is going on. The Lord asked, “How does this edify Me?” I said, “Lord, forgive me, for I myself am guilty of this”. (These things happening on the right represent God's people justifying themselves and compromising. Saying, “It's okay to spend extra time on these devices because they aren't TVs and we must do our work on them as well. So the line in our conscience gets blurred. This can also represent justification by our own works and essentially is like worshipping a false Jesus that allows compromise contrary to His Word. (2Co.1:2-4) For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I espoused you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ. (3) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ. (4) For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if ye receive a different spirit, which ye did not receive, or a different gospel, which ye did not accept, ye do well to bear with him.) Standing in the middle of that room, I looked up and saw there were different levels to the house where the activity got worse, physically and spiritually. I saw and heard people speaking filthily. I didn't see it, but knew that it was pornography, and scary movie sounds were also in the background. People were cursing and saying all kinds of bad things. People were laughing at it when it was not funny. The Lord asked, “How does that edify Me?” (The different levels of the tabernacle represent people's spirit, soul and body. If these activities are occurring in the spirit and soul, they bring a curse on the bodies of these people and death. Spiritual death is reprobation, and it becomes impossible for them to be renewed again unto repentance. Their consciences are seared. They have become reprobated.  (Heb.6:4-8) For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, (5) and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, (6) and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. (7) For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God: (8) but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned.)  We went into another room on the left, and I heard different conversations. One person was trying to tell another something, and he said, “I know”, not letting the other finish because he already knew. (Pro.18:13) He that giveth answer before he heareth, It is folly and shame unto him.) In the same crowd, educated people were having conversations with others, but the educated person never heard anything anyone else said because they were puffed up and boasting that they had a degree in this or a doctorate in that. They knew it all and yet knew nothing. The Lord asked, “How does this edify Me?” (1Ti.6:3-5) If any man teacheth a different doctrine, and consenteth not to sound words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; (4) he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but doting about questionings and disputes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, (5) wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth… (2Ti.3:1-9) But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come. (2) For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, (3) without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, (4) traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; (5) holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. From these also turn away. (6) For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts, (7) ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (8) And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth. Men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith. (9) But they shall proceed no further. For their folly shall be evident unto all men…)  To the right in that room were people bickering over trivial matters. One conversation that stands out is, “Who took my Kool-Aid?” I looked around and realized that all these people were carrying Bibles, and I realized they were all 'Christians'. The whole house was full of people professing to be Christians. The Lord asked, “How does this edify Me?” I said, “Lord, forgive us”. (Many worldly people associate 'religious fanatics' and cult members with Jim Jones. And they say things to Christians like, “Don't drink the Kool-Aid!” In other words, don't fall for the deceptions and traps of religion. James Warren Jones (May 13, 1931 – November 18, 1978) was an American cult leader, preacher, and self-professed faith healer. He launched The Peoples Temple in Indiana during the 1950s. Jones and his inner circle orchestrated a mass murder-suicide of himself and his followers in his jungle commune at Jonestown, Guyana, on November 18, 1978. Jones ordered and likely coerced the mass suicide and mass murder of 918 commune members, 304 of them children, almost all by cyanide-poisoned Flavor Aid (or Kool-Aid). (1Pe.5:8) Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour;) We went into another room and stood in the doorway. Small children were running around the room, jumping on chairs, sofas, pulling down curtains, and being very mischievous. Their parents were in the middle of the room, oblivious to what the children were doing -- “running wild”. They were so self-absorbed in what they were doing and their own desires that they were blind to what their children were doing. The Lord asked, “How does this edify Me?” I said, “Lord, I'm sorry”. (Many of God's people are not self-disciplined to stay in God's Word; therefore, the fruit that they bring forth is disorderly confusion and does not effectively edify the Body of Christ. (Isa.26:3) Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee…) We went into another room and saw people holding their Bibles. They tried to step forward, saying, “Yes, the Lord has told me to do this”. But before they stepped forward, they stepped right back and said, “No, no, He didn't tell me”. I saw people holding their Bibles open, saying, “The Lord has shown me this”, and then saying, “No, no, He didn't show me anything”. Then I saw people holding phones, saying, “The Lord told me to say this”, and then, “No, no, never mind; He didn't say anything”. They were never sure of anything they did and were procrastinating in the name of the Lord. The Lord asked, “How does this edify Me?” (Jas.1:5-8) But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (6) But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. (7) For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord; (8) a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.) We then went through sliding glass doors and saw a man sitting in a chair covering his face with his hands. He was being attacked by Christians who were standing around him and yelling, “How do you know that you know the Lord?” “Why did He tell you that and not me?” “Why do you think you are so privileged that you know and hear the Lord?” “Do you think you are somebody?” “You don't know your Word”. “You don't know God”. “Who do you think you are?” “How do you know you are not hearing demons?” The Lord asked, “How does this edify Me?”  (Gal.5:13-21) For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only use not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another. (14) For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (15) But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. (16) But I say, walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. (17) For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would. (18) But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law. (19) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, (20) idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, (21) envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.) I felt such conviction during this dream for not praying, fasting or reading my Word. (These are actions which would warn us away from dangers to come.) I have been guilty of letting my time be idle = idol. A few days later, on 9/04/11, (911) I received Ephesians 5 as a reminder. Briefly this chapter is about:   (Eph.5:1-2) Exhortation to brotherly love. (Eph.5:3-14) Cautions against several sins. (Eph.5:15-21) Directions to a contrary behavior, and to relative duties. (Eph.5:22-33) The duties of wives and husbands are enforced by the spiritual relation between Christ and the church.

This powerful exploration of Romans 10 confronts us with a beautiful paradox at the heart of the gospel: salvation is freely offered to everyone who calls on the name of the Lord, yet God sovereignly knows who will respond. We're challenged to hold both truths simultaneously - divine election and human responsibility - like viewing a cone that appears as both a circle and a triangle depending on our perspective. The message emphasizes that we live in prophetically significant times, with ancient biblical prophecies about nations like Persia (modern-day Iran) unfolding before our eyes. This isn't cause for panic but for peace, because we've read the end of the book and know God remains in control. The call is urgent: we are the generation chosen to proclaim Christ in these last days. Every believer is commissioned as a preacher, sent into the mission field of daily life to share the hope within us with gentleness and respect. Our lives should radiate such peace amid chaos that others ask what makes us different. The question isn't whether God's promise is available - it's whether we'll answer the call to be those with beautiful feet who carry the good news to a world desperately needing to hear it.Sermon Notes – Romans 10:13–21  --------------------------------  DETAILED NOTES  --------------------------------  I. The Promise Is Persuasive (vv. 13, Joel 2:32)  - “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”  - No boundaries: not race, class, morality, background, or performance.  - Tension:   - God elects, calls, saves (Rom 8:29–30).   - Yet the invitation is to “everyone.”  - Analogy: cone = circle from one angle, triangle from another; we lack the extra “dimension” to fully grasp how divine sovereignty and human responsibility fit together.  - In Joel 2:32 both sides appear:   - “Everyone who calls…shall be saved.”   - “…among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls.”  II. The Power of Preaching (vv. 14–15; 1 Pet 3:15; 1 Cor 1:18–21)  - Paul's “how” chain (reversed):   5. Beautiful are the feet of those who preach good news.   4. They can't preach unless sent.   3. They can't hear without someone preaching.   2. They can't believe what they've never heard.   1. They can't call on whom they haven't believed.  - Foundational issue: Do we know the good news well enough to share it?  - Preaching isn't just for pastors; every believer is “sent” (Eph 4:12).  - Our lives and testimonies are part of the message; God uses “the folly” of weak people with a perfect gospel to save.  - In a world of noise, fear (wars, economy, confusion), believers' peace and confidence are a powerful witness.  III. The Problem of Unbelief (vv. 16–21)  1. Lack of Faith  - Faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ (v.17).  - Salvation is received only by faith in Christ's finished work (Rom 5:2; Eph 2:8; Heb 11).  - We are more “blessed” than those who saw Jesus physically but did not have to (John 20:29).  2. Willful Ignorance / Suppression (Ps 19; Rom 1)  - Creation universally proclaims God's glory; no one has a valid excuse.  - Evolution and materialism often used to dodge accountability to a Creator.  - If there is a Creator and an Author, then His standards are binding.  3. Pride (esp. Israel's example)  - Israel had maximum revelation yet often refused God.  - Called to be a light to the nations (Isa 49:6; Mic 4:1–2) but hoarded truth instead.  - Jonah: a prophet who would “rather die” than see Gentiles repent; a picture of nationalistic pride and spiritual hard-heartedness.  4. Love of Sin (John 3:16–21; Rom 1:32)  - People love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil.  - Not only practice sin but approve of others who do.  - We resist God like a child shouting “no” to every loving boundary.  IV. Our Moment in History  - Rapid fulfillment of prophecy; increasing pressure and confusion.  - God is purifying a people who:   - Hold to His Word,   - Refuse to compromise,   - Stand with biblical clarity in a dark, chaotic age.  --------------------------------  PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS  --------------------------------  1. Clarify the Gospel  - Write out the gospel in a few sentences; practice explaining it simply.  2. Live as “Sent Ones”  - Ask daily: “Lord, who are you sending me to today?”  - Look for people who notice your peace, then share the reason for your hope (1 Pet 3:15).  3. Strengthen Your Faith  - Spend regular time in Scripture—especially Romans, John, and Psalms—to deepen confidence in Christ.  4. Confront Pride and Sin  - Ask the Spirit to reveal areas where you:   - Assume you “deserve” salvation, or   - Refuse to surrender favorite sins. Repent quickly.  5. Grow in Bold, Gentle Witness  - Pray for boldness + gentleness.  - Set a goal: share your testimony or the gospel with at least one person this week.  --------------------------------  DISCUSSION QUESTIONS  --------------------------------  1. How do you personally hold together “everyone who calls” and God's sovereign election without dismissing either?  2. On a scale of 1–10, how prepared do you feel to explain the gospel? What would help you grow?  3. Where have you seen God use your story (testimony) to impact someone else?  4. Which obstacle to belief hits closest to home for you: lack of faith, pride, or love of sin? Why?  5. In what ways might we be acting like Jonah—resenting or avoiding certain people or groups God wants to reach?  6. What specific steps can your group take to live more as “sent ones” in your workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods?

In this episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, we wrap up our deconstruction/reconstruction mini-series with a question a lot of people ask: Which one is harder—deconstruction or reconstruction?We start with a little Nashville recap, then we get honest about what this journey actually feels like in real life. One of the biggest takeaways: the “harder vs. easier” question might not even be the right lens. The better questions are: What am I building now? What am I a part of? And is it beautiful?We talk about why reconstruction can feel heavier—because there's no blueprint, growth becomes less visible, freedom requires discernment, and you're often doing deep internal work that nobody can see. But we also talk about the hope on the other side: steadiness, less fear, more humility, more peace, and a clearer vision of a Jesus who gets bigger and brighter as you go.If you're in the middle space—unsure, rebuilding, or feeling alone—you're not crazy. You're not losing faith. You're being formed.In this episode:Deconstruction vs. reconstruction (and why it's not a simple comparison)Why reconstruction feels slower, heavier, and more internalThe “no blueprint” reality—and the challenge of freedomThe question that filters everything: Is it beautiful?What this season is forming in you (righteousness, peace, joy)Why safe people matter when you're rebuilding00:58 - Red Wings vs Predators jersey drama03:14 - Why Cory came in hot + wrapping the 26 Life mini-series04:49 - Big question: Which is harder—deconstruction or reconstruction?05:43 - Deconstruction as demolition (and the tension of “throw it all out”)06:33 - Deconstruction felt powerless, stuck, uncertain07:52 - Clarifying “powerful”: disruption vs the fallout of “now what?”08:12 - Cottage renovation analogy: nostalgia, attachment, and letting things go10:21 - Aha moments, permission, and finding language in deconstruction12:41 - Why reconstruction can feel heavier: nuance, layers, reconciliation14:30 - David & Goliath example: living without forced answers16:40 - Moving from “what's wrong?” to “what am I building now?”17:29 - The filter question: Is it beautiful?

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/030426.cfmFather Tyler Mentzer, MIC, invites us to contemplate what it truly means to “reign with Christ.” He opens with a striking analogy: a modern “geodome” that creates a flawless, wind‑less environment for trees. In that artificial sanctuary, the trees flourish at first, but their roots remain shallow. Without needing to withstand the wind, the trees become top‑heavy. Their fragile roots cannot anchor them, and they eventually topple.Father Tyler draws a parallel between those fragile trees and a life that lacks adversity. When we seek a perfect, trouble‑free existence, we attempt to eliminate the “wind” that deepens and strengthens our spiritual roots. The Gospel warns us that greatness in the Kingdom is measured, not by position, but by humble service. Jesus tells the disciples that the first shall be the greatest only when he becomes everyone else's servant.Father Tyler reminds us that the very trials Jesus endured — 40 days in the desert; the temptations of Satan; the agony of the Cross — were the winds that proved His unshakable love for the Father. Likewise, the request of James and John to sit at Christ's right and left reveals a self‑inflated desire for power. Jesus redirects them, teaching that true headship is found in laying down one's life for others, echoing the servant leadership modeled at the Last Supper when He washed His disciples' feet.In our own lives, the “wind” can be professional setbacks, relational conflicts, or the quiet suffering of daily duties. When we meet these challenges with faith, we are compelled to deepen our roots in the Father's love, allowing the Holy Spirit to strengthen us from within. The Sacraments — especially Confession, Baptism, and the Eucharist — provide the nourishment that sustains us through the storm, reminding us that we are already participants in Christ's reign when we serve selflessly.Father Tyler urges us to ask: Do I seek the comfort of a wind‑less dome, or do I welcome the gusts that shape my character? By choosing to serve, to love, and to sacrifice, we already reign with Christ, even if the world does not notice. At the final judgment, the Church teaches that we will be judged by the depth of our love of God and neigbor—; that is, by how far we have sunk our roots into the Father's boundless mercy. ★ Support this podcast ★

Host Jo Reed and contributor Alex Ritchie dive into three striking audiobooks, beginning with Half His Age, Jennette McCurdy's unsettling and sharply observed debut novel, narrated by the author in a style that mirrors its protagonist's fragile bravado. Jo and Alex then travel to 15th-century Italy with Graceless Heart by Isabel Ibañez, where Beatrice Grannò's lyrical narration illuminates both the sensuality of the setting and the pulse of magic running through the novel's political intrigue. Finally, they explore The Book of Blood and Roses by Annie Summerlee, brought into vivid focus by Katie Leung's clear, quietly magnetic delivery, which grounds the paranormal elements while sharpening the story's emotional undercurrents. The conversation highlights how a narrator can deepen a book's atmosphere, shape its emotional stakes, and transform the entire listening experience.   Audiobooks Discussed: HalfHis Age, written and read by Jennette McCurdy (Random House Audio)   Graceless Heart by Isabel Ibañez, read by Beatrice Grannò  (Macmillan Audio)   The Book of Blood and Roses by Annie Summerlee, read by Katie Leung (Penguin Audio)     Support for Behind the Mic comes from HarperCollinsFocus and HarperCollins Christian Publishing, publishers of some of your favorite audiobooks and authors, including Colleen Coble, Mark Harmon, Jennie Allen, Max Lucado, Lysa TerKeurst, and many more.   Learn more about your ad choices.
