SEASON 4 EPISODE 19: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump is escalating his terror campaign against you. If you oppose him, if you criticize him, if you even question him, he will try to call YOU a terrorist, put YOU on a terrorism BLACKLIST. And if that doesn’t work, ARREST you, and if THAT doesn’t work, invade your state and terrorize IT. On the other hand, he has apparently TACO’d out on his terrorist invasion of Portland now saying “well I mean we’re certainly LOOKING AT IT.” But on the OTHER OTHER hand National Security Presidential Memorandum Seven is not on hold; in it Trump claims the right to prosecute you for domestic terrorist if you express quote “anti-Christianity” or oppose the government in any way. Get you indicted when there is literally no case, like James Comey. Or reenact the McCarthy Era blacklist and try to get you fired, as with Lisa Monaco. Or just label you a domestic terrorist because you called Stephen Miller a "fascist." When Stephen Miller has called 150 million Democrats "fascists." That'll be quite the indictment against Miller. Which reminds me: Fox's Jesse Watters calls Miller a "sexual matador." Which I presume means he winds up getting gored in the groin. And just to bring this up a notch, Trump's insanity is growing and it certainly looks like over the weekend, he wanted his social media followers to believe he can bestow upon them the gift of immortality. Not IMMORALITY, "immortality." The saga of Trump's Med Beds and RFK jr's face. B-Block (34:20) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Isabel Vincent writes the weakest New York Post hit job on me in the history of New York Post hit jobs. The breaking news? An anonymous source says I may have been rude to a waiter in 1997. Marco Rubio bans the president of Colombia, tags him on twitter, tags the wrong guy. And Newt Gingrich complains about Abby Spanberger not voting for a particular bill in the House this month. Maybe because she hasn't been a member of the house since January? (45:47) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It's Stevie Week! Thirteen years ago tomorrow since I was born again in dogs, when Olivia Nuzzi and I were adopted by a tiny Maltese who opened up a new world to me. C-Block (1:06:00) PART TWO OF STEVIE WEEK: The adventures of Stevie and the five dogs who have followed her, including a cameo appearance from the Gotcha Day Girl herself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Title: “The Maltese Mission” Part 2 Text: Acts 28:7-10 FCF: We often struggle trusting God to provide our needs. Prop: Because God providentially provides for His people, we must trust and obey God while sharing with one another. Scripture Intro: [Slide 1] Turn in your bible to Acts chapter 28. In a moment we'll read from the Legacy Standard Bible starting in verse 1. You can follow along in the pew bible or in whatever version you prefer. Before we get started this morning, I need to admit a small blunder I made last week. When I was typing the word for the people of Malta, I assumed it would be Maltenes. Because spell check did not catch that as a misspelling, I assumed it was the correct word for those from Malta. [Slide 2] As I re-listened to the sermon this past week, I noticed that the live transcript spelled the word differently than I had written it. So, I did a search for the way I had written it and came to discover that Maltenes is actually the oily substance in asphalt used to bind the rocks together. [Slide 3] The actual word for the people from Malta is Maltese, like the dog. So, I have edited the title of the sermon and will endeavor to call them by the right name today. Apologies for my oversight. [Slide 4] Now that that is dealt with, lets get ourselves up to speed on what is happening. Since chapter 27, Luke has told the maritime adventure story of Paul on his way to Rome. Last week we began the last episode in this story which is set on the island of Malta. God gives Paul a platform to preach the gospel through a venomous snake biting him and his miraculous resistance to any ill effect from the bite. We concluded last week that Paul most certainly preached the gospel to these folks because we know Paul's heart, because we know the purpose of sign gifts, and because we know the Christian history of the island of Malta. So why didn't Luke record any evangelism details? Probably because he is in the midst of showing God's hand of providence to get Paul to Rome. His focus is not necessarily on God's providence in spreading the gospel to the Maltese people. We also should consider that Luke wrote this on glued together pages of papyrus. These were purchased in a rolled-up format which stretched 30-40 feet. There is another possibility that Luke is simply coming to the end of the roll. Not that God short changed us in the inspiration of this book. But every historical account in the scriptures… it is ALWAYS abbreviated. As Luke continues this story there is a subtheme that was only mentioned last week, but will take a more prominent role here and will be developed through the rest of the chapter to the end of the book. I'll do my best to point that out to you today. So let's dive in to the text of Acts 28. Please stand with me to give honor to and to focus on the Word of God as it is read. Invocation: Most loving and generous Father. If wicked fathers know how to give good gifts to their children, how much more do You, a Heavenly Father characterized by love, grace and mercy, know how to give good gifts to Your children. You have made promises to us Lord. You have promised that according to the riches in glory in Your Son, you will supply all our needs. You have promised to give out of Your abundance so that we can continue the work which you have called us to do. And You have commissioned us to be Your hands and feet, not only to bring the gospel to others, but also to share and give to other believers when they are in need. We are often the agents of Your Divine provision. And You are most gracious to us to allow us to participate in this way. Send Your Spirit to speak into the hearts of those who are here. Speak clearly in Your word to call Your people to action. And use the Spirit to give new hearts to unbelievers here so they can receive the gifts of repentance and faith. We pray this in His name. Amen. Transition: You may be seated. This is another shorter sermon. And I do apologize for that

Title: “The Maltenes Mission” Part 1 Text: Acts 28:1-6 FCF: We often struggle fearing our circumstances rather than seeing them as opportunities to preach Christ. Prop: Because God providentially provides platforms for us to preach Christ, we must trust and proclaim the Lord. Scripture Intro: [Slide 1] Turn in your bible to Acts chapter 28. In a moment we'll read from the Christian Standard Bible starting in verse 1. You can follow along in the pew bible or in whatever version you prefer. Today we officially begin the last chapter of the book of Acts. With it, we begin the final episode of the maritime adventure of Paul on his journey to Rome. Paul, his companions, the soldiers, the sailors and all the other passengers on board the Alexandrian grain ship have all come safely to shore. But now what? It is still November. They are on an island they don't recognize. They are cold, tired, hungry, and drenched. How will God providentially preserve them through the winter? Let's find out. Please stand with me to give honor to and to focus on the Word of God as it is read. Invocation: Most Gracious God, we humbly seek Your presence today to ask that You send Your Spirit to reveal truth from Your Word. Speak persistently and loudly. Show us, convict us, move us, shape us with the Words of Scripture. We pray that You would uncover Your providential work to prepare a platform for the gospel to be preached. We pray that even if the circumstances are painful for us that we would not give way to fear, but would stand firm in trusting You and preach Christ crucified to the lost. Convict us of our negligence and our panic. Help us to see the greatest mission we have and to do it for Your glory. We pray this in Jesus' name… Amen. Transition: Many people are ill equipped and unmotivated to hear the gospel message. Its truths are aggressive because they call men to repent of things that they cherish. Men love sin. But God not only prepares the heart of one of His lost sheep to hear the gospel, but He also prepares the circumstances for the message to be preached. For the Maltenes people, God prepared them to hear the truth. And He did this by… of all things… a snake bite. Let's look. I.) God providentially provides platforms for us to preach Christ, so we must preach the gospel. (1-4) a. [Slide 2] 1 - Once safely ashore, we then learned that the island was called Malta. i. Luke dutifully records for us again, that the people who could swim as well as those who could not arrived safely to the shore. ii. In the process of landing on the beach, certainly they would have looked for shelter. Being a beach, but not the main port on the island, there would probably have a small fishing village nearby. iii. [Slide 3] In this process they would have learned that the island they landed on was indeed the island of Malta. iv. Perhaps with shock they would have recognized how far the storm had carried them while also getting them closer to their intended destination of Italy. v. Indeed, in the last two weeks they had been blown by this Nor'easter about 476 Nautical miles west, which is just shy of 550 miles. b. [Slide 4] 2 - The local people showed us extraordinary kindness. They lit a fire and took us all in, since it was raining and cold. i. Luke using the term “Local people” here is actually the word “barbarians”. This indicates to us that these people probably did not speak Greek as a primary language. More than likely the Maltenes people spoke Punic which would be a dialect of Phoenician language. ii. And even though the main dock in Malta would have been sufficiently Hellenized, this village was probably less so. iii. Still there is no reason to believe that the shipwrecked crew was completely unable to converse with the people. They probably knew at least some Greek or Latin. iv. Luke marvels at the uncommon care the locals gave to the shipwrecked passengers. Many times small villages become quite closed off and suspicious of new people. Against that stereotype, these islanders went out of their way to help. v. The rain and cold had left these tired, drenched, hungry, and sleep deprived people in a truly miserable state. vi. For at least two weeks they had been battling no small storm and now they wash up completely helpless. vii. In this setting, it would be easy to prey upon them or fear them. But instead, they receive all 276 people and build a fire – probably several, to warm them all. c. [Slide 5] 3 - As Paul gathered a bundle of brushwood and put it on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand. i. As a prisoner of Rome, Paul would have no doubt been one of the first to be forced to go and look for more fuel for the fire. ii. Of course, this was probably a welcome task standing on dry land with the promise of warmth. And certainly, we wouldn't expect Paul to refuse to help in menial duties. iii. In the midst of this, Paul lays a bundle of sticks on the fire and unbeknownst to Paul there was a viper hiding within. iv. The word “viper” indicates to us that this was a venomous snake. v. But here is the problem. Today, there are no venomous snakes on the island of Malta. And for that matter, there are actually no woodlands on Malta either. 1. Some scholars have put so much weight on this fact that they have endeavored to find a different island than Malta for this shipwreck. 2. However, these two problems are actually easily explained by one fact. 3. Malta today has almost 600,000 people living on an island that has an area of only 122 square miles. 4. That is a ratio of almost 5,000 people per square mile. This makes it one of the more densely populated places in the world. 5. With population being so dense, woodlands would have disappeared long ago and along with woodlands the environment for venomous snakes. 6. Therefore, there is no reason to question Luke's identification of this snake as venomous. vi. This snake was probably one, that although now is either extinct or eradicated on Malta, was at the time known and avoided by the Maltenes people. vii. As any snake would do, after being roused from its more dormant state in the cold and fleeing the heat of the fire, it attacks a perceived threat upon its life. viii. In this case, it would be Paul. ix. The snake bites and latches hold of Paul's hand. d. [Slide 6] 4 - When the local people saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “This man, no doubt, is a murderer. Even though he has escaped the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.” i. There are a few layers here that I want to unpack concerning the Maltenes' reaction to this viper biting Paul. ii. They say three things. 1. They conclude that Paul is a murderer since this snake bit him. 2. He was saved from the sea, but this was merely a temporary escape for him. 3. Finally, they conclude that Justice has not allowed Paul to live. iii. All three things they say… are true in a manner of speaking. iv. First, I want to go in backward order of their statements, They conclude he is a murderer and the last two statements contribute to that thought in unique ways. Justice has not allowed him to live. 1. Notice how the word Justice in the CSB is capitalized. 2. This occurs not just in the CSB but in several other modern translations of this passage. 3. The word Justice could be translated simply as a lowercase letter j with that meaning. 4. However, the Greek goddess of Justice was named Dike… Justice. The word Luke uses here. 5. What seems clear is that these people were fairly religious. They recognize that the Greek goddess of justice, who always repays a life for a life and always hits her mark, seems to have hunted Paul down through Poseidon's realm and finally found him here on Malta. 6. Justice always wins, she has caught Paul. This is their conclusion. 7. Is this true? 8. Well… in a way. But it didn't happen by Dike's doing. Compared to the God who actually caught up with Paul, she is not a god at all. 9. We have already seen the Judge of the living and the dead catch up with Paul. Haven't we? 10. In one sense Paul stood up that day and kept going… but in another way Paul died that day in the dust on the road to Damascus. 11. Paul himself says “I have been crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, Christ lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” 12. True Justice… the King of Glory… has already hunted down and found Paul. And killed him… by killing Paul's sin and former life on the same cross He died on. Paul only lives now because Jesus lives in Him. 13. Whatever sins Paul has committed, were killed with Christ. And that same Just Judge has commissioned Paul to go to the ends of the earth with the good news. 14. That is why he is here. Justice sent him here… but not to die. But to preach the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. v. Second, they conclude that his salvation from the sea was a temporary escape. 1. No doubt they couch this in superstitious understanding similar to our idea of cheating death and karma. 2. You can only run for so long before it all catches up to you. 3. Job's friends had the same conclusion. 4. But in a way, they are right. 5. Paul will eventually be executed by the same Roman government who hold him in chains now. His rescue from the sea is ultimately only a temporary one. 6. But at the same time, his permanent rescue, his permanent salvation has already been secured. 7. And that is why he is here. To tell these people… about that salvation. vi. That brings us to what they conclude. That Paul is a murderer because he was bitten by a venomous snake. 1. Now why might they conclude this? 2. Well, as we've already said, history records that the Maltenes people were quite religiously attuned. They were a religious melting pot of Phoenician, Greek, and Roman influences. a. And this is a very old concept. b. As we've already said, dating back to the first book of the bible written, the book of Job, that when you commit sins in life, eventually you will get divine payment for them. c. It is the concept of reciprocity. d. The Old Testament also says surely your sins will find you out. e. The New Testament says that what you will reap what you sow. f. Many religious backgrounds have this sort of teaching. Including Phoenician, Greek, and Roman. 3. And the Maltenes people, though religious and superstitious, were not idiots. a. They know Paul is a prisoner. There are guards watching him all the time. b. They probably know that their destination is Rome itself. Certainly, prisoners being transported to Rome are probably not going for small crimes. c. It is really that much of a leap for them to think that Paul's crime is a serious one? 4. Finally, we must ask the question… is Paul a murderer? a. Luke thinks Paul is. Luke said that he was breathing out murderous threats toward the church. b. Paul thinks Paul is. Paul himself said that he persecuted the church to death. He calls himself the chief of sinners. 5. The Maltenes people are right! Paul is a murderer. And anyone who has ever hated or despised someone is a murderer too. 6. But Paul is here now to preach to these people, how God can take murderers like him and destroy their sin and raise them up to righteousness. e. [Slide 7] Summary of the Point: Luke writes this second episode of Paul's maritime adventure with a clear focus. He is emphasizing the providence of God to get Paul to Rome to preach the gospel to the Emperor. Here we see God's hand delivering Paul safely from the storm but right into the teeth of a viper. And we might wonder… why? Paul did deserve to die for all he had done to God's people. But Jesus saved him instead. Now he is on this island, not fleeing from the goddess of justice, but instead preaching the love of the One who will one day judge the living and the dead. God is just in that He will certainly judge sinners. But he is also the justifier of sinners who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ, for Christ is the One who satisfied the justice of God for them on the cross. Because of the Maltenes' religious beliefs and God allowing the snake to bite Paul, now Paul has an platform to preach the gospel to them. To tell them about justice AND mercy. God will do the same for us. He will providentially open doors for us to share our faith. The doors may not be painless for us. Indeed, they may hurt us a lot. But we must be faithful to share the gospel with those the Lord has brought to us. [Slide 8 (blank)] Transition: Of course, Paul can't preach the gospel message if he dies from a snakebite. Jesus can't keep his promise if Paul dies of a snakebite. God would be a liar if Paul doesn't go before Caesar because he died of a snakebite. What is the only option for Paul? He must live. Let's see how. II.) God providentially provides platforms for us to preach Christ, so we must have faith without fear. (5-6) a. [Slide 9] 5 - But he shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no harm. i. As we knew would be true, Paul lives. ii. In fulfillment of what Jesus says Luke 10:19 and possibly in Mark 16:18, we see Paul handling a venomous snake without being poisoned and without dying. iii. He simply shakes the creature off into the fire. iv. This doesn't appear to be a panicked reaction. Nor does it seem to be done in malice or hatred. Nor does it seem to be some kind of spiritual cleansing ritual, as if he is warding off a spiritual by burning the source. v. Paul simply eliminates the threat against him and others by calmly shaking the snake into the fire. vi. He trusts God explicitly, that the snake will not harm him, no doubt as he bandages the two puncture wounds in his hand. vii. Paul did not seek out the snake to prove that he was from God or that his faith was genuine. Paul didn't do this on purpose as some kind of display of Spiritual maturity as some churches do who handle snakes on purpose. viii. Paul trusted God, unphased by this snakebite, knowing that he would go to Rome and stand before Caesar. Why? ix. Because God said he would. x. This is faith without fear. b. [Slide 10] 6 - They expected that he would begin to swell up or suddenly drop dead. i. Though Paul did not fear, the Maltenes people were afraid for him. They were convinced that despite Paul acting like all was normal – that he would certainly swell up and/or die. ii. There is no hint here that they simply mistook the snake that bit Paul as a venomous one when it actually wasn't. iii. These are natives of this island and the sticks did not come from the ship. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that this snake was indigenous and most likely well known to the Maltenes people. iv. So, they waited. v. And waited. vi. And… waited. c. [Slide 11] After they waited a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god. i. Before, they concluded that the gods were out to get Paul. ii. That he must have been some terrible person who had murdered someone and justice finally caught up to him. iii. But having waited a long time to watch if he would die or suffer any ill effects, and finding nothing out of the ordinary occurring, they change their minds. iv. Again, we are given insight into the deeply religious and somewhat superstitious nature of the Maltenes people. v. They have just witnessed a miracle. And because of this, they go from thinking Paul is a vile human being to concluding that Paul must be an invulnerable divine being. vi. This isn't the first time Paul was mistaken for a god. vii. In Lystra, after Paul and Barnabas healed a lame man, they were mistaken for Zeus and Hermes. The people of Lystra then began to offer sacrifices to them. viii. Paul and Barnabas tore their clothes and with great effort stopped the people of Lystra from worshipping them. ix. There is no record here of the Maltenes people trying to worship Paul. Luke is somewhat brief with the Maltenes narrative. x. But we see how volatile their opinion of Paul is. xi. But just like in Lystra, after denying deity, Paul will have a unique opportunity to share the gospel with these people. xii. He is not a god… but He is sent by THE One True God. He is God's ambassador sent here with a message for them to hear. And this miracle proves that they should listen to him. xiii. [Slide 12] As a side note here, and one we must address before we close out this point … 1. Keen observers will note that Luke does not actually say that Paul shares the gospel with the Maltenes people. 2. Luke doesn't record a single conversion. 3. So, am I being a little presumptuous to think that Paul shared the gospel with these folks? 4. Not at all. For three reasons. a. We know the heart of Paul. i. He has preached the gospel to Jews, to gentiles, before the Areopagite, in the hall of Tyrannus in Ephesus, before Felix and Festus and Herod Agrippa. ii. We have no reason to believe that he stopped now. iii. And Luke doesn't always need to spell things out for us. iv. He has written thousands of words giving us the track record of Paul. v. He probably expects us to fill in the blanks. b. We know the purpose of sign gifts. i. Throughout the book of Acts God has used sign gifts to authenticate the message of the gospel. ii. Paul did not die from this snake bite and, as a bit of a spoiler for next week, he will heal a prominent Maltenes figure before departing for Rome. iii. Since Luke has linked signs like these to the authentication of the gospel message, again he probably assumes we will wisely link it without him saying it explicitly. c. Lastly, we know the history of Malta. A Christian community sprang up on the island of Malta. i. Not only that, but the earliest records indicate that this happened in the same general time frame that Paul was on Malta. ii. Also, there are some records that indicate that the first Elder of the Christian church on Malta was a man named Publius whom we will meet next week. 5. And so, I think we can confidently say that Paul did indeed preach the gospel here and while wintering here for three months, he helped to establish the church on Malta. d. [Slide 13] Summary of the Point: Just as God providentially provided an avenue for preaching the gospel to the Maltenes by allowing His servant Paul to be bitten by a snake, so also God now miraculously prevents Paul from being poisoned to authenticate that same message. If they will believe he is a god because he did not die from this snake bite, perhaps they can believe that he is God's message bearer bringing them the message of the gospel. But Paul's reaction is key here. He doesn't panic. He doesn't start sucking the venom out. He doesn't pace around the fire nervously waiting for the same reactions the locals waited for. Instead, he shook off the snake and did nothing unusual. If it wasn't for the two puncture marks, they might have wondered if he had been bitten at all. We too may face even unpleasant things that God has providentially arranged for us so that we have a platform to share the gospel. But how we face those unpleasant circumstances may impact the openness of some to hear the message. In the midst of this, we must not allow fear to win out over faith. Instead, we must trust the Lord. Conclusion: So CBC, what have we learned today that informs and corrects our beliefs and shapes our lifestyles? Basics of Faith and Practice: [Slide 14] God's providence is the undisputed primary theme in the book of Acts. God is always moving to advance the Kingdom of His dear Son through the work of His Spirit. Certainly, God at times does this on His own without any human agency, but most often in the book of Acts God empowers and commissions His church to go and preach the gospel. Here we see God using a snake bite and its failure to harm Paul to give him a platform to preach the gospel to these very religious people. So, we must look for God's providential hand to create platforms for us to live by faith and share the gospel. And though those platforms may be painful and even life-threatening, we must not fear what men can do to us. We have the words of life. Let us hold His banner high. But let me apply this a little more directly to us today. 1.) [Slide 15] Mind Transformation: “What truth must we believe from this text?” or “What might we not naturally believe that we must believe because of what this text has said?” We must affirm that God providentially arranges platforms for us to preach the gospel. a. From every tribe, every tongue, every nation, every ethnicity, both genders – God is calling to Himself a royal priesthood. b. While we certainly have some, who like Paul, are called to other parts of the world to share the gospel to people outside of their context… c. Most of us are called to be ambassadors for the Kingdom of God right where we are. d. God has equipped us to be in the right situation with the right strengths and skills to be lights that shine in the darkness for His Kingdom. e. And that is not just to stand up and live holy and loving lives before others but to call to repentance sinners who have offended a holy God with their wickedness. f. To preach Christ crucified for sinners. g. To call sinners to turn from their wicked ways and trust in Christ. h. You and I are uniquely suited to share Christ to our friends, our family, and our neighbors. i. Not only that, but all that we face in life, and all the trials and tribulations shape us to be in positions where we can give the gospel call in a real and impactful way. j. The Maltenes were a religious and even superstitious people. God turned their eyes toward justice and then wowed them with a miracle. All so Paul could preach Christ crucified for sinners. k. God is the same today. He orchestrates the events of our lives to provide a platform for His gospel call to go out. l. But as the Lord Jesus lamented, the harvest is plenty but the harvesters are few. m. So, what must we do? n. First, something we must not do… 2.) [Slide 16] De-Exhortation: “What actions should we stop doing” or “What behaviors do we naturally practice that this passage tells us to stop doing?” We must not fear our circumstances. a. God may lead us down some very difficult paths to share the gospel with others. b. We may be surrounded by enemies, we may be hated by many, we may be shouted down, we may face certain death. c. In those times we should not fear. d. We should not fear what men can do to us. e. We should not fear what could or could not happen. f. We should not fear that we might die before God's plan for our lives is realized. g. We should not fear at all. Why? h. Not because we are brave, strong, determined, or resolute. i. Not because our cause is just or because we are something special… j. If we lack fear for these reasons, then we are trusting in ourselves. k. The reason we should not fear is because we trust the Lord. We trust that His ways are perfect and that His will will be done. l. But not fearing doesn't mean we are passive either. We must also… 3.) [Slide 17] Exhortation: “What actions should we take?” or “What is this passage specifically commanding us to do that we don't naturally do or aren't currently doing?” We must trust the Lord and share the gospel. a. In spite of the danger, in spite of the difficulty and trials we may face. We must share the gospel. b. We are on this earth for such a short time. We only have so many days to preach Christ crucified. c. To make disciples is the commission of the church. And God has equipped us to do just that. d. We preach the gospel and teach disciples to obey Christ. This is the primary mission of the church. e. Wherever Paul was, and in whatever state he was in, he preached Christ crucified. This wasn't because he was an evangelist. It is because he was a Christian. And although he received a specific commission to go to the gentiles and to Caesar, his commission was the same general commission given to all believers. f. We don't all have to go to some far away place. And hopefully we don't all have to get bitten by a snake. g. But all of us must preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Because it and it alone is the power of God unto salvation to the Jews first and also to the gentiles. h. There is also something in this text that corrects something we might believe. 4.) [Slide 18] Refutation: “What lies must we cast down” or “What do we naturally believe, or have been taught to believe, that this passage shows is false?” We must deny that God is either all justice or all mercy. Both are errors we must avoid. a. A young apologist that is making some waves today named Wes Huff was recently on a podcast talking about the differences between other religions and Christianity. b. He astutely observed that all religions besides Chrsitianty have strong aspects of either justice or mercy. c. He zoomed into Hinduism and Buddhism and pointed out how there is a very strong justice emphasis within it. Karma is 100% just. What you reap is a product of what you have sown… every time. There is no mercy. d. But Islam is the opposite. Allah, almost arbitrarily, hands out mercy to people who have died allowing them to enter paradise. But what happens with the evil they did during their life? What happens to all the actions they committed that are out of step with what Allah desires? e. In a word, nothing. There is no justice. Some get what they deserve and others don't and there is no real rhyme or reason for why. f. The Maltenes clearly believed in an all-justice god. You can't hide from a god who rights wrongs and trades a life for a life. The idea of reciprocity is strong with them. g. How amazing it would have been for them to be told that Paul was a murderer, but that the same God who will judge him is the one who died to pay for his sin. h. And that leads us to the most comforting thought that only Christianity preaches, and it just so happens to be the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ… 5.) [Slide 19] Evangelism: “What about this text points us to Jesus Christ, the gospel, and how we are restored?” God is both Just and the Justifier of all who believe on Christ. a. Proverbs 17:15 says that whoever justifies the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh. b. So how is it that God is NOT an abomination to Himself? c. I want you to listen very carefully to what I'm saying because I don't want you to misunderstand me. d. Depending on your definition of forgiveness, you might be under the impression that when God forgives you, your sins magically disappear from the record. They are, erased. e. But my friends that isn't what forgiveness means. Forgiveness is a financial term. f. When you are forgiven a financial debt, does that mean that the person who gave the loan magically gets all their money back? No. g. Someone has to pay the debt. Forgiveness is simply saying… it isn't you. h. In this way, every single sin will be paid for. Every single one. Every single sin is an act of treason against a holy God. And every single sin you commit must be paid off in full. i. God is Just. Not one sin will be left unaccounted. God will NOT justify the wicked. He will not call someone innocent who still has an outstanding debt. j. But God, in His mercy, has chosen to take the debt Himself. He has chosen to pay the penalty for sin in the second person of the Godhead. He has paid with His death the whole amount for every single person who believes on Jesus as Savior and Lord. k. God is Just… and the justifier of those who believe on Christ. Because although every sin must be punished… He laid on Christ the chastisement that was due to us. By His stripes… we are healed. l. God is not Dike… hunting down the guilty. One day He will raise all of the dead to life and put them before the judgment seat of Christ to measure their works. And all who are measured by their works will pay for every single sin they have committed by enduring eternity in the lake of fire which is the second death. m. God doesn't hunt down the guilty. They will come to Him when He calls for them. When it is time for all things to be made right and justice to be delivered… they will come to Him. n. But God does hunt down some of us. He aims to destroy us but then to raise us up to a new life in Christ. o. My friends… are your sins paid for or will you pay for them yourself? p. Only those who believe in true faith… who believe and keep believing… who believe so much that they pursue Christ as their Savior and Lord… only these have had their sins paid. Their sins were red like scarlet… q. But He has washed them white as snow. r. Will you turn from your sin and believe on Jesus Christ today? [Slide 20 (end)] Let me close with a prayer by the Reformer John Calvin. Lord, as you urge us daily to repentance, and we are stung with the consciousness of our own sins, help us not to grow stupid in our vices or deceive ourselves with empty flattery. Instead, help us to carefully examine our own life, and then together confess that we are all guilty-not just of light offenses, but of offenses that deserve eternal death. And no other cure remains for us ... except your infinite mercy. So we seek a share of that grace which has been once offered to us by your Son, and is daily offered to us by his gospel. By relying on him as our mediator, we entertain hope even in the midst of a thousand deaths, until we are gathered into that blessed life bought for us by the blood of your only Son. For it is in His name we pray this… Amen. Benediction: And now may Jesus, Who satisfies our longings like nothing else can do Who is more pleasant than all the fancies of our golden dreams May that Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else. Until we meet again, go in peace.

We're back to discuss last Thursday's conclusion to the Europa and Conference League final qualifying round (as well as a little Champions League)! It was a week of firsts, including Hamrun Spartans becoming the first Maltese club to qualify for a European group stage. Crystal Palace and Rayo Vallecano also survived to earn their inaugural shot at Thursday night football. The other Conference League big boys survived by the skin of their teeth – both Mainz and Strabourg got huge bounce-back wins after disappointing 1st leg performances, and Fiorentina overcame a dreadful 78 minutes to eventually see off Polissya. Elsewhere, Poland, Greece, and Cyprus continued their excellent campaigns, while the Turks and Scots had a nightmarish week, including embarrassing Champions League defeats for both Celtic and Rangers. Cheers Giacomo Modica!

Donna Adelson Trial | Forensic Specialist Joanne Maltese Lays Out Crime Scene Evidence  In this gripping courtroom segment, Retired Forensic Specialist Joanne Maltese delivers a meticulous breakdown of the crime scene evidence from the day Dan Markel was murdered. With over 15 years of experience in the Tallahassee Police Department, Maltese's calm, detailed testimony brings the visual facts of the case into sharp focus. As she walks the jury and camera through the forensic photos, Maltese highlights crucial pieces of evidence: split eyeglass frames, shattered glass, and Markel's wallet—still containing cash—right where he left it. These subtle yet telling details dismantle any theory that the murder was a robbery gone wrong. Instead, everything points to a targeted, execution‑style attack. Joanne Maltese gives each image full context: where it was found, how it was collected, and what it signifies. Her descriptions underscore the precision of the crime, reinforcing the prosecution's narrative that Markel was singled out by a paid hitman—not simply the victim of a random act of violence. Why this testimony matters is clear. Maltese transforms forensic minutiae into a compelling argument: this was premeditated, not opportunistic. By illustrating that valuables were untouched, she reinforces the motive-centered case charted by prosecutors.  #DonnaAdelsonTrial #JoanneMalteseTestimony #ForensicEvidence #CrimeScenePhotos #DanMarkelMurder #TrueCrimeCourtroom #RawCourtVideo #ShotNotRobbery #CourtroomEvidence #TallahasseePD Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

fWotD Episode 3027: Maltese nationality law Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 18 August 2025, is Maltese nationality law.The primary law governing nationality of Malta is the Maltese Citizenship Act (Maltese: Att dwar iċ-Ċittadinanza Maltija), which came into force on 21 September 1964. Malta is a member state of the European Union (EU), and all Maltese nationals are EU citizens. They are entitled to free movement rights in EU and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries, and may vote in elections to the European Parliament for the Malta constituency.All persons born in Malta between 21 September 1964 and 1 August 1989 automatically received citizenship at birth regardless of the nationalities of their parents. Individuals born in the country since that date receive Maltese citizenship at birth if at least one of their parents is a Maltese citizen or was born in Malta. Foreign nationals may become Maltese citizens by naturalisation after meeting a minimum residence requirement (usually five years).Malta was a colony of the British Empire until 1964 and local residents were British subjects. Although Maltese citizens no longer hold British nationality, they remain Commonwealth citizens under British law. When residing in the United Kingdom, Maltese citizens are eligible to vote in UK elections and serve in public office there.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Monday, 18 August 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Maltese nationality law on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Niamh.

In today's episode of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation Podcast, we get the chance the speak with CPWF Chicago chapter leader, Joseph Maltese.  Joseph tells us all about a whale that most people don't know exists.  The Rice's Whale (Balaenoptera ricei)  was acknowledged as a distinct species of whale from the Bryde's whale in 2021. Joseph explains why these whales are endangered, and what needs to change in order to help them. Joseph and the CPWF Chicago team plan to launch a social media campaign to create more awareness about the plight of the Rice's whale. There are less than 50 of these whales left, and we need to do everything we can to protect them.Joseph did a report on the Rice's whale and you can read his report here - https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36408579c22646a9a44a1028369adcf8Support the showhttps://www.paulwatsonfoundation.org/https://shop.paulwatson.com/

The European Court of Justice shocked RCBI industry earlier this year, with their ruling against Malta's popular CBI program. They appeared to call out golden visas at their core when compelling Malta to end theirs.  The ECJ accused the CBI program of essentially commercializing nationality (and by extension European Union citizenship). They called it "transactional," and lacked a "genuine link" to the country. In response, Malta has been tackling ideas of ways someone can formally prove themselves worthy of citizenship, without being accused of just performing a transaction.  How does one show a genuine link to a country they've fallen in love with, but were not born in? In what way does someone audition to be a citizen? And what kind of citizen does a nation need? Malta has been fast-tracking their Citizenship by Merit program with answers to these questions. Dr. James Muscat Azzopardi sits down with Mona and Rebecca to discuss what one will now have to do to become Maltese.

MARK ELLIS chats to Paul Burke about his new historical crime thriller Death of an Officer and Boom Time an account of crime in WWII London.DEATH OF AN OFFICER: London. Spring 1943. While Europe continues to suffer under the iron fist of Nazi occupation, Britain remains battered but unbowed.DCI Frank Merlin, already contending with a booming wartime crime wave in the capital, is confronted with a baffling case: the brutal murder of a respected doctor.Following a puzzling trail that leads him into the hidden corners of clubland - and which appears to be linked to the disappearance of both British and American officers - Merlin must untangle a dark web of shocking secrets.Boom Time The accepted story of the Home Front during the Second World War is one of cooperation and teamwork as people across Britain linked arms to provide support for the war effort. Right? Wrong. Crime rates actually increased during the war years. Think foreign gangs roaming through London is a recent phenomenon? Think again as Maltese and Italians cornered the organised crime world. And what about the Black Market? Well, business was booming. As gangster Mad ‘Frankie' Fraser later said, ‘I'll never forgive Hitler for surrendering, we were making so much money!' And what about the Americans? Healthy appetites, charm and good looks were not the only thing they brought with them. Also racial segregation and a veritable army of criminals.MARK ELLIS is a thriller writer from Swansea and a former barrister and entrepreneur. He is the creator of DCI Frank Merlin, an Anglo-Spanish police detective operating in World War 2 London. His books treat the reader to a vivid portrait of London during the war skilfully blended with gripping plots, political intrigue and a charismatic protagonist. Recommendations: Ragnar Jonasson, Simon Mason, Eric Ambler, Gore Vidal, Andrew Lonie, Phil Craig, Chips Channon, Len Deighton, Kingsley Amis.Film: Chicago Joe and the Showgirl with Emily Lloyd & Keifer Sutherland Paul Burke writes for Monocle Magazine, Crime Time, Crime Fiction Lover and the European Literature Network, Punk Noir Magazine (fiction contribution).

Send us a textJoin Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musiciansJoe Camilleri's musical journey reads like a masterclass in Australian rock history. From his humble beginnings as a two-year-old Maltese immigrant arriving in Melbourne to becoming one of Australia's most prolific and respected musicians, Joe's story is one of pure passion and relentless creativity."If you've got something you love doing, it's a joy and I think it keeps you healthy," Joe reflects, perhaps revealing the secret to his extraordinary longevity in an industry that often burns out its brightest stars. With over 50 albums to his name and counting, Joe shows no signs of slowing down, joking that he's "still trying to write a good one."Growing up in a crowded Melbourne household as one of ten children, Joe's musical education came first from the radio and later from the streets after leaving school at age 12. His path through Australian music reads like a who's who of influential bands – from his early days with the Drollies and King Bees to being famously expelled from the Adderley Smith Blues Band for being "too flamboyant" and not adhering to their strict triple denim dress code. Joe's trajectory through Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons (now ARIA Hall of Fame inductees) to founding The Black Sorrows in 1983 has cemented his legendary status.Beyond his performing prowess, Joe's production credits include work with The Sports, Ross Wilson, Paul Kelly, and Renee Geyer – helping shape the sound of Australian rock across generations. Yet despite these achievements, Joe remains remarkably humble, attributing his success to being in the right place at the right time: "I got to do all the things that I thought I'd be able to do with the talent that I had, which was almost zero."Now collaborating with The Fabulous Caprettos while simultaneously preparing "The Quintessential Black Sorrows" greatest hits collection and tour, plus a forthcoming album titled "Old Friends and New Companions," Joe embodies his own philosophy that "it's not just about the past, it's about the future." For fans of authentic Australian music delivered with passion and soul, Joe Camilleri remains the gold standard – the GOAT with a goatee who refuses to even consider retirement.Catch Joe on tour soon and witness firsthand why, after five decades in music, he's still at the top of his game, creating music that matters. As he puts it simply: "I come to play."What has Joe Camilleri been up to lately?  Let's find out!Get out when you can, support local music and I'll see you down the front!!Visit: ThatRadioChick.com.au

"... with liberty and justice for all" - So ends The Pledge of Allegiance to the U.S. flag. On this Independence Day weekend, we face the question of justice from a short a story about a snake coming out of a fire and attaching to Paul's hand. The Maltese islanders in Acts 28:1-6 had a fairly simple view of justice that the gods will bring it about in a timely manner. Suffering and death must be judgment for specific sin or crime. Lack of such hardship is evidence of your goodness. But life isn't that way. Why the righteous suffer and the wicked prosper is a question of the ages, but it has clarity in God's Word. We'll have to stray a bit from our text to get there but it sends us out for answers that only God can satisfactorily address. Join us for "The Island" from Acts 28:1-6.
