"Vom Stemmen der Gewichte" von Heinrich von Berenberg – rezensiert von Marius Müller(Hördauer 07 Minuten)Man sollte sich hüten, sich allzu ernst zu nehmen, wenn man Bücher nicht schreibt, sondern sie nur drucken lässt. Aber nach 20 Jahren sind ein paar Berichte aus dieser Tätigkeit vielleicht doch nicht ganz uninteressant. Also versuchen wir es mal: Dieser schmale Band aus biegsamem Material versammelt Porträts, Gespräche, Reiseberichte und eine Auswahl jener Newsletter, die über die Jahre unregelmäßig über das Wie und Wer in diesem Verlag informiert haben: vom Elend der Vorschautexte über »schwierige Autoren«, aus Israel, Palästina und anderswo. Nicht zu vergessen: der Kosmos Spanien und Lateinamerika und warum er für uns so wichtig ist. Mit Texten über Roberto Bolaño, Rafael Chirbes, Michael Rutschky, Vicente Valero sowie einem Gedicht von Christine Wunnicke: »Ein Logo spricht«. ...Marius Müller mit seinem Literaturblog Buch-Haltung hat uns als Literatur Radio Hörbahn aus seinen Blog-Beiträgen diejenigen auszusuchen und zu vertonen, die uns zu unseren Hörern zu passen scheinen. Herzlichen Dank dafür!Wir werden jeden Beitrag zu seiner Seite verlinken, damit man ihn bei Bedarf Nachlesen kann.Den Volltext dieser Rezension findest Du hierWenn dir Rezensionen gefallen, hör doch mal hier hinein.

The world constantly tells us, “You just need a little more.” But what if real peace isn't found in having more, but in learning to need less?What comes to mind when you hear the word “wealth”? For some, it means freedom. For others, it brings anxiety and pressure. Today, Jeff Manion joins us to explore how we can cultivate contentment in a culture that always craves more.Jeff Manion is the Teaching Pastor at Ada Bible Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he has served for over 40 years. He is also the author of several books, including Satisfied: Discovering Contentment in a World of Consumption.Why Wealth Confuses UsIn a world that constantly urges us to acquire more, climb higher, and chase the next upgrade, contentment often feels elusive. But what if true satisfaction isn't found in accumulation, but in learning—learning to trust, to remember, to let go, and to live fully in the present? Contentment is not something we're born with—it's something we must learn. And we're learning it together.Let's be honest—wealth can be confusing. One day, we're living simply out of necessity, and the next, after years of doing the right things—avoiding debt, saving diligently, and giving generously—we find ourselves in a season of financial stability. You'd think contentment would come naturally at that point. But surprisingly, it doesn't.Learning contentment in a season of sufficiency is often more challenging than in a season of scarcity. When we experience financial security, the temptation to trust in our own strength rather than God's provision becomes a real concern. This isn't new—it's the same struggle the Israelites faced in Deuteronomy 8. After years of daily dependence on manna in the wilderness, God warned them not to forget Him once they entered the Promised Land. He reminded them: “Remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth” (Deut. 8:18). That warning is for us too.The Danger of the “There and Then” MentalityContentment is rooted in the present, not the future. And yet we often believe we'll only be at peace "there and then"—when the vacation arrives, the mortgage is paid off, or the kitchen is finally renovated. But if we can't be fully alive to God and the people around us now, there's no guarantee we will be later.We don't stumble into contentment—we learn it. The Apostle Paul, writing under house arrest, said, “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances” (Phil. 4:11). His circumstances didn't determine his joy. His peace wasn't tied to his comfort. And ours doesn't have to be either.Sometimes the path to contentment starts by taking inventory—literally. For many of us, stuff multiplies without our awareness. A drawer of unworn t-shirts, a shelf of unused dishes, boxes of forgotten CDs…they add up. We can begin the journey toward contentment by shedding excess.A simple practice, like giving away five items a day for seven weeks, can bring clarity and peace. Not because we're pursuing minimalism for its own sake, but because we're reminding ourselves that joy isn't found in our possessions—it's found in a life uncluttered by distraction, filled with God's presence and purpose.Escaping the Comparison TrapComparison is a thief of joy. Whether or not Teddy Roosevelt actually coined the phrase, it's undeniably true. In our digital age, we don't just compare lives—we compare carefully curated highlight reels. This distorts our view, convincing us we're missing out when in fact, we're richly blessed.Comparison shifts our focus from gratitude to scarcity. And scarcity suffocates generosity. When we believe we never have enough, we become unable to see the abundance God has already given us—abundance meant to be shared.Generosity is one of the most effective ways to break money's grip on our hearts. Paul's charge to Timothy echoes through the centuries: “Command those who are rich… not to put their hope in wealth… but to put their hope in God… to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share” (1 Tim. 6:17–18).When we give, we reflect the heart of our generous God—first in creation, then in Christ. And as we open our hands, we discover joy not in what we keep, but in what we release for the sake of others and the glory of God.Passing on the Legacy of ContentmentWe long for our children and grandchildren to experience true satisfaction. But contentment isn't just taught—it's caught. When our families see that our greatest joy is not in acquiring new and better things but in reflecting the generosity of Christ, they begin to understand that there's a story far bigger than material success.We want them to see us delight in giving, not just spending. To notice our peace when things don't go our way. To recognize that the content life isn't a small life—it's a deeply rich one, rooted in grace and lived with open hands.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have around $1.5 million in total assets and $500,000 in available funds. Given the current tax environment, I'm considering whether now might be a strategic time to withdraw from my pre-tax retirement accounts and pay the taxes. I'm currently living on Social Security and pension income and haven't needed to tap into my savings yet.I'd like to open an account for my great-grandchildren, who are currently 3 years old and 18 months old. I've been looking into a universal life insurance policy, but would appreciate guidance on the best way to save for their future—possibly to help with education expenses.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Satisfied: Discovering Contentment in a World of Consumption by Jeff ManionSavingForCollege.comWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMIÉRCOLES, 30 DE JULIOPASAR LA ANTORCHAEl Señor dio a Moisés instrucciones especiales para los hijos de Israel con respecto a lo que debían hacer para preservarse a sí mismos y a sus familias de la temible plaga que estaba a punto de enviar sobre los egipcios. Moisés también debía dar instrucciones a su pueblo con respecto a su salida de Egipto. En aquella noche, tan terrible para los egipcios y tan gloriosa para el pueblo de Dios, se instituyó el solemne rito de la Pascua. Por mandato divino, cada familia, sola o junta con otras, debía degollar un cordero o un macho cabrío «sin defecto», y con un manojo de hisopo «untar el dintel y los dos postes» de sus casas con la sangre, como señal de que el ángel destructor, que llegaría a medianoche, no entrara en esa vivienda. Debían comer la carne asada, con hierbas amargas, por la noche, como dijo Moisés, "ceñidos vuestros lomos, vuestro calzado en vuestros pies, y vuestro bordón en vuestra mano; y lo comeréis apresuradamente; es la Pascua de Jehová". Este nombre fue dado en memoria del paso del ángel por sus moradas; y tal fiesta debía ser observada como un memorial por el pueblo de Israel en todas las generaciones futuras (From the lir eart, 29 de julio, p. 222). Todos los actos de la vida de Jesús fueron importantes. Cada acontecimiento de su vida era para el beneficio de sus seguidores del futuro. Esta circunstancia de la demora de Cristo en Jerusalén enseña una lección importante a los que habían de creer en él. Muchos habían recorrido grandes distancias para celebrar la Pascua, instituida para que los hebreos recordaran su maravillosa liberación de Egipto. Esta ordenanza tenía por objeto apartar sus mentes de sus intereses mundanos, y de sus preocupaciones y ansiedades en relación con los asuntos temporales, y repasar las obras de Dios. Debían recordar sus milagros, sus misericordias y su amorosa bondad para con ellos, a fin de que su amor y reverencia por él aumentaran y los llevaran a acudir siempre a él y a confiar en él en todas sus pruebas, y a no volverse hacia otros dioses. La observancia de la Pascua poseía un interés solemne para el Hijo de Dios. Veía en el cordero degollado un símbolo de su propia muerte. Al pueblo que celebraba esta ordenanza se le instruía para que asociara el sacrificio del cordero con la muerte futura del Hijo de Dios. La sangre, que marcaba los postes de las puertas de sus casas, era el símbolo de la sangre de Cristo, que había de ser eficaz para el pecador creyente, limpiándolo del pecado y protegiéndolo de la ira de Dios que había de caer sobre el mundo impenitente e incrédulo, tal como la ira de Dios cayó sobre los egipcios. Pero nadie podía beneficiarse de esta provisión especial que Dios había hecho para la salvación del hombre, a menos que realizara la obra que el Señor le había encomendado. Ellos mismos tenían una parte que desempeñar: por sus actos debían manifestar su fe en la provisión hecha para su salvación (The Review and Herald, 31 de diciembre, 1872, párr. 11, 12).

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMARTES, 29 DE JULIOPÉSAJPara conmemorar esta gran liberación, el pueblo de Israel había de celebrar una fiesta anual a través de las generaciones futuras... El hisopo usado para rociar la sangre era un símbolo de la purificación. Era empleado para la limpieza del leproso y de quienes estaban inmundos por su contacto con los muertos. Se ve su significado también en la oración del salmista: "Purifícame con hisopo, y seré limpio: lávame, y seré emblanquecido más que la nieve". Salmo 51:7. El cordero había de prepararse entero, sin quebrar ninguno de sus huesos. De igual manera, ni un solo hueso había de quebrarse del Cordero de Dios, que iba a morir por nosotros. Éxodo 12:46; Juan 19:36. En esa forma también se representaba la plenitud del sacrificio de Cristo. La carne debía comerse. Para alcanzar el perdón de nuestro pecado, no basta que creamos en Cristo; por medio de su Palabra debemos recibir por fe constantemente su fuerza y su alimento espiritual. Cristo dijo: "Si no comiereis la carne del Hijo del hombre, y bebiereis su sangre, no tendréis vida en vosotros. El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, tiene vida eterna". Y para explicar lo que quería decir, agregó: "Las palabras que yo os he hablado, son espíritu, y son vida". Juan 6:53, 54, 63. Jesús aceptó la ley de su Padre, cuyos principios puso en práctica en su vida, manifestó su espíritu, y demostró su poder benéfico en el corazón del hombre. Dice Juan: "Aquel Verbo fue hecho carne, y habitó entre nosotros (y vimos su gloria, gloria como del unigénito del Padre), lleno de gracia y de verdad". Juan 1:14... El cordero había de comerse con hierbas amargas, como un recordatorio de la amarga servidumbre sufrida en Egipto. Asimismo, cuando nos alimentamos de Cristo, debemos hacerlo con corazón contrito por causa de nuestros pecados. El uso del pan sin levadura también era significativo. Lo ordenaba expresamente la ley de la pascua, y tan estrictamente la observaban los judíos en su práctica, que no debía haber ninguna levadura en sus casas mientras durara esa fiesta. Asimismo deben apartar de si la levadura del pecado todos los que reciben la vida y el alimento de Cristo. Pablo escribe a la iglesia de Corinto: "Limpiad pues la vieja levadura, para que seáis nueva masa... porque nuestra pascua, que es Cristo, fue sacrificada por nosotros. Así que hagamos fiesta, no en la vieja levadura, ni en la levadura de malicia y de maldad, sino en ázimos de sinceridad y de verdad". 1 Corintios 5:7, 8 (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, pp. 280-283).

There is no better way than to begin the work week with prayer! On this episode of 2Days Denarius, a prayer from Puritan David Clarkson is provided to give listeners encouragement and added focus on the Lord to better serve Him in their endeavors. David Clarkson was a Puritan who served as an associate to the great John Owen. He also understood trials since he was one of more than 2,000 Puritan ministers who suffered great loss during England's "Great Ejection" in 1662. This prayer concentrates on believer's seeking Christ's righteousness, while also helping us to realize that putting Jesus first in our lives is far greater than anything this world has to offer. This prayer comes from Robert Elmer's excellent collection of Puritan prayers noted in the bibliography below. This is a great devotional work that is highly recommended to 2DaysD listeners!Clarkson, David. 2019.

Seit seinem Song „Fucked Up“ haben sich für Luca Noel Türen geöffnet – als Support für Silbermond oder Glasperlenspiel. Seither folgten ein eigenes Album, natürlich weitere Konzerte und auch ein Studium an der Popakademie in Mannheim. Heute präsentiert Luca Noel sein neuestes Material live im studioeins! Deutsch-Pop mit Pathos. Luca Noel hat mit gerade mal Anfang 20 bereits einige Songs über sein emotionales Innenleben veröffentlicht – und hat damit bereits eine riesige Fanbase aufgebaut. In seinen Lyrics will Noel die Momente seiner Zweifel transparent machen, insbesondere wenn es um die Kommunikation in Beziehungen geht und man oftmals nicht so sicher ist, wie die andere Person eigentlich denkt („schon okay.“). Vor allem singt Luca Noel aber immer wieder vom notwendigen Eskapismus dieser Tage. Wenn die Welt nicht mehr wirklich verlässlich scheint und man sich auf Freundschaften, Familie oder eben die Paarbeziehung besinnt. Die bisher veröffentlichten Tracks der neuesten EP des Musikers aus der Nähe von Stuttgart versprühen Optimismus und betonen das Gefühl den Moment zu leben („tu was du nicht lassen kannst.“, „alles in rosé.“). Heute kann Luca Noel dieses Lebensgefühl im studioeins zelebrieren.

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosLUNES, 28 DE JULIOLA PASCUAHe aquí una obra requerida de los hijos de Israel, que debían realizar de su parte, a fin de probarlos y demostrar su fe mediante sus obras en la gran liberación que Dios había estado efectuando para ellos. Para escapar del gran juicio de Dios que iba a traer sobre los egipcios, la señal de la sangre debía verse sobre sus casas. Se les ordenó que se separaran de los egipcios, junto con sus hijos, y que se reunieran en sus propias casas, porque si alguno de los israelitas fuese encontrado en las casas de los egipcios, caería bajo la mano del ángel destructor. También se les ordenó que celebraran la fiesta de la Pascua como una ordenanza, para que cuando sus hijos preguntaran qué significaba tal servicio, les relataran su maravillosa preservación en Egipto, cuando el ángel destructor salió por la noche para matar a los primogénitos de los hombres y a los primogénitos de los animales, pasó por encima de sus casas y no murió ni uno solo de los hebreos que tuviera la señal de la sangre en los postes de sus puertas. Y el pueblo inclinó la cabeza y adoró, agradecido por este memorial especial dado para preservar en sus hijos el recuerdo del cuidado de Dios por su pueblo. Por las manifestaciones de las señales y maravillas mostradas en Egipto, hubo un buen número de egipcios que fueron inducidos a reconocer que el Dios de los hebreos era el único Dios verdadero. Suplicaron que se les permitiera ir con sus familias a las casas de los israelitas, esa terrible noche cuando el ángel de Dios iba a matar a los primogénitos de los egipcios. Estaban convencidos que sus dioses, a los que habían rendido culto, no tenían conocimiento ni poder para salvar o destruir. Y prometieron que de allí en adelante el Dios de Israel sería su Dios. Decidieron salir de Egipto e ir con los hijos de Israel para adorar a su Dios. Los israelitas dieron la bienvenida a los egipcios creyentes en sus hogares (Spiritual Gifts, t. 3, p. 223, 224; parcialmente en Comentarios de Elena G. de White en Comentario bíblico adventista del séptimo día, t. 1, p. 1115). Cuando los hijos de Israel eran esclavos en Egipto, el Señor les envió un libertador. Le pidió que fuera ante el faraón, rey de Egipto, y dijera: "Entonces dirás al faraón: 'Jehová ha dicho así: Israel es mi hijo, mi primogénito. Ya te he dicho que dejes ir a mi hijo, para que me sirva; pero si te niegas a dejarlo ir, yo mataré a tu hijo, a tu primogénito'". Éxodo 4:22, 23. Moisés le llevó este mensaje al rey. Pero la respuesta del Faraón fue: "¿Quién es Jehová para que yo oiga su voz y deje ir a Israel? Yo no conozco a Jehová, ni tampoco dejaré ir a Israel". Éxodo 5:2. Entonces el Señor envió plagas terribles sobre los egipcios. La última de ellas consistía en la muerte del primogénito de cada familia, desde la del rey hasta la del más humilde habitante del país. El Señor le dijo a Moisés que cada familia israelita debía matar un cordero y poner un poco de la sangre sobre los postes y el dintel de las puertas de sus moradas. Esta era una señal para que el ángel de la muerte pasara por alto las casas de los israelitas, y destruyera solamente a los orgullosos y crueles egipcios. Esta sangre de la "Pascua" representaba para los judíos la sangre de Cristo. A su debido tiempo, Dios mandaría a su querido Hijo para ser sacrificado como cordero, con el fin de que todos los que creyeran en él pudieran ser salvos de la muerte eterna. Cristo se denomina nuestra Pascua. 1 Corintios 5:7. Por su sangre, por medio de la fe, somos redimidos. Efesios 1:7 (La única esperanza, p. 16). 

Die 12-jährige Mia Eberhard Mateu lebt mit ihrer Familie in der spanischen Millionenmetropole Barcelona. Segeln ist ihre grosse Leidenschaft. Von klein auf verbringt sie unzählige Stunden auf dem Wasser. Ihr Traum ist es, zur Weltspitze im Segeln zu gehören. Das Segeln ist längst mehr als nur ein Hobby. Mit gerade einmal zwölf Jahren mischt Mia Eberhard Mateu in der europäischen Nachwuchs-Segelszene bereits ganz vorne mit. Die junge Auslandschweizerin aus Barcelona hat sich für die Optimist-Europameisterschaft 2025 qualifiziert und verfolgt ein klares Ziel: «Ich möchte eines Tages im Schweizer Trikot bei den Olympischen Spielen starten.» Mia hat Schweizer und spanische Wurzeln. Ihre Mutter Sandra Eberhard stammt ursprünglich aus Basel und wanderte vor 18 Jahren der Liebe wegen nach Barcelona aus. Heute steht sie ihrer Tochter mit Rat, Tat und ganz viel Herz zur Seite: «Gemeinsam als Familie tragen wir Mias Traum auf Kurs. Wir unterstützen sie, wo wir können!» Der kleine Bruder Loris tritt auch schon in die Fussstapfen seiner grossen Schwester. Das Segel-Gen scheint in der Familie fest verankert. Aufwendige Sportart Der Segelsport verlangt nicht nur hartes Training, sondern auch erhebliche finanzielle Mittel. Für Material, Ausrüstung und Regattateilnahmen. Mutter Sandra Eberhard Mateu arbeitet als Pflegefachfrau in einem Spital von Barcelona. Daneben hat sie ihre eigene Praxis für Traditionelle chinesische Medizin: «Ohne Sponsoren und Unterstützung aus der Familie, wäre der Segelsport nicht möglich. Aber uns ist es wichtig, dass Mia ihren Traum verwirklichen kann.»

Sowohl die englischen als auch die spanischen Fans geben sich überzeugt, dass ihr Team gewinnt. "Wir haben die besten Spielerinnen" finden die Spanierinnen. "Wir schaffen immer den Turnaround", sagen englische Fans.

De modo que caminó decididamente hasta llegar a su presencia, y sin temor se paró delante de él para declararle el mensaje del Señor. "Dijo, pues, Moisés: Jehová ha dicho así: A la medianoche yo saldré por en medio de Egipto, y morirá todo primogénito en tierra de Egipto, desde el primogénito de Faraón que se sienta en su trono, hasta el primogénito de la sierva que está tras el molino, y todo primogénito de las bestias. Y habrá gran clamor por toda la tierra de Egipto, cual nunca hubo, ni jamás habrá. Pero contra todos los hijos de Israel, desde el hombre hasta la bestia, ni un perro moverá su lengua, para que sepáis que Jehová hace diferencia entre los egipcios y los israelitas. Y descenderán a mí todos estos tus siervos, e inclinados delante de mí dirán: Vete, tú y todo el pueblo que está debajo de ti; y después de esto yo saldré. Y salió muy enojado de la presencia de Faraón". Cuando Moisés habló al rey de la plaga que vendría sobre ellos, más terrible que cualquiera de las que ya habían castigado a Egipto, que haría que todos los grandes consejeros del monarca se prosternaran delante de él y le rogaran que dejara salir a los israelitas, este quedó muy airado. Estaba furioso porque no pudo intimidar a Moisés ni hacerlo temblar delante de su autoridad real. Pero Moisés se apoyó en procura de sostén en un brazo más poderoso que el de cualquier monarca terrenal (Spiritual Gifts, t. 3, pp. 221, 222; parcialmente en Comentarios de Elena G. de White en Comentario bíblico adventista del séptimo día, t. 1, p. 1115). Antes de ejecutar esta sentencia, el Señor por medio de Moisés instruyó a los hijos de Israel acerca de su salida de Egipto, sobre todo para preservarlos de la plaga inminente. Cada familia, sola o reunida con otra, había de matar un cordero o un cabrito, "sin defecto", y con un hisopo había de tomar de la sangre y ponerla "en los dos postes y en el dintel de las casas en que lo han de comer", para que el ángel destructor que pasaría a medianoche, no entrase a aquella morada. Habían de comer la carne asada, con hierbas amargas y pan sin levadura, de noche, y como Moisés dijo: "Ceñidos vuestros lomos, vuestros zapatos en vuestros pies, y vuestro bordón en vuestra mano; y lo comeréis apresuradamente: es la Pascua de Jehová" (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, p. 280). 

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchSÁBADO DE TARDE, 26 DE JULIOLA PASCUALa observancia de la Pascua empezó con el nacimiento de la nación hebrea. La última noche de servidumbre en Egipto, cuando aún no se veían indicios de liberación, Dios le ordenó que se preparase para una liberación inmediata. Él había advertido al faraón del juicio final de los egipcios, e indicó a los hebreos que reuniesen a sus familias en sus moradas. Habiendo asperjado los dinteles de sus puertas con la sangre del cordero inmolado, habían de comer el cordero asado, con pan sin levadura y hierbas amargas. "Así habéis de comerlo —dijo—, ceñidos vuestros lomos, vuestros zapatos en vuestros pies, y vuestro bordón en vuestra mano; y lo comeréis apresuradamente: es la Pascua de Jehová". Éxodo 12:11. A la medianoche, todos los primogénitos de los egipcios perecieron. Entonces el rey envió a Israel el mensaje: "Salid de en medio de mi pueblo... e id, servid a Jehová, como habéis dicho". Éxodo 12:31. Los hebreos salieron de Egipto como una nación independiente. El Señor había ordenado que la Pascua fuese observada anualmente. "Y —dijo él—, cuando os dijeren vuestros hijos: ¿Qué rito es este vuestro? vosotros responderéis: Es la víctima de la Pascua de Jehová, el cual pasó las casas de los hijos de Israel en Egipto, cuando hirió a los Egipcios". Y así, de generación en generación, había de repetirse la historia de esa liberación maravillosa (El Deseado de todas las gentes, p. 57). Entonces el Señor dio a Moisés instrucciones especiales, para que las diera a los hijos de Israel, con respecto a lo que debían hacer para preservarse a sí mismos y a sus familias de la temible plaga que estaba a punto de enviar sobre Egipto. Moisés también debía darles instrucciones con respecto a su salida de Egipto. Les relató la orden de Dios de inmolar un cordero sin defecto, y de tomar la sangre del cordero y pegarla en los postes de las puertas, y también en el dintel superior de las puertas de sus casas. Mientras esta señal estuviera fuera como signo, y comieran el cordero, asado entero, con hierbas amargas, adentro, el ángel de Dios pasaría por la tierra de Egipto haciendo su terrible obra, matando a los primogénitos de los hombres y a los primogénitos de los animales. "Y lo comeréis así: ceñidos vuestros lomos, vuestro calzado en vuestros pies, y vuestro bordón en vuestra mano; y lo comeréis apresuradamente; es la Pascua de Jehová. Pues yo pasaré aquella noche por la tierra de Egipto, y heriré a todo primogénito en la tierra de Egipto, así de los hombres como de las bestias; y ejecutaré mis juicios en todos los dioses de Egipto. Yo Jehová. Y la sangre os será por señal en las casas donde vosotros estéis; y veré la sangre y pasaré de vosotros, y no habrá en vosotros plaga de mortandad cuando hiera la tierra de Egipto. Y este día os será en memoria, y lo celebraréis como fiesta solemne para Jehová durante vuestras generaciones; por estatuto perpetuo lo celebraréis" (Spiritual Gifts, t. 3, p. 222).

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:3In the final episode of our Financial Ethics series, we're tackling a message that promises health and wealth—but often leads to heartache: the prosperity gospel. Dr. David W. Jones joins us to unpack its dangers and point us back to a truly biblical view of blessing and provision.Dr. David W. Jones is Senior Professor of Christian Ethics at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He holds a Ph.D. in Christian Financial Ethics and is the co-author of Health, Wealth, and Happiness: How the Prosperity Gospel Overshadows the Gospel of Christ by Dr. W. Jones and Russell S. Woodbridge.Faith Is Not a TransactionOne of the most dangerous ideas in the prosperity gospel is that faith guarantees financial prosperity. It treats faith like a force—a tool believers can wield to compel God's blessings.But biblical faith isn't self-generated or transactional. It is a gift from God, a response to His revealed grace, and a means by which we trust Him, not a lever to gain wealth. Faith is “the eyesight of the soul”—deeply rational and rooted in the truth of who God is, not in wishful thinking or material expectations.Prosperity theology often preaches a “faith formula”: believe hard enough, and you'll be rewarded. But this distorts faith into a mechanism for personal gain. Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” It's not irrational optimism—it's a reasoned trust in the unseen promises of God.We should view faith not as a way to escape hardship or secure abundance but as a path of trusting God in all things, including suffering.The Problem with Escaping SufferingOne hallmark of the prosperity gospel is its aversion to suffering. But as Jones points out, suffering is part of living in a fallen world—and it's not something Scripture tells us to avoid at all costs. In fact, passages like 1 Peter 4:12 and 2 Timothy 3:12 remind us that suffering is to be expected for faithful followers of Christ.Rather than hinder our faith, suffering refines it. Suffering is the crucible of character. It's often through trials that we grow closest to Christ and are shaped into His likeness.God's Provision Comes Through WorkAnother distortion in prosperity teaching is the expectation of windfalls—blessings that come without effort. But God's design for provision is through work. From the beginning, humans were created to labor and create, reflecting the image of God.Working, creating, and flourishing through effort honors our design and brings fulfillment. Attempts to bypass God's design through get-rich-quick schemes ultimately violate our dignity and God's intended path for flourishing.Prosperity preachers often misuse Scripture to back their claims. One example is 2 Corinthians 8:9: “That though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.”Taken out of context, it may sound like a promise of material wealth. But in its context, Paul is referring to our spiritual poverty and Christ's sacrifice to make us spiritually rich—context matters. Misreading Scripture to fit a materialistic theology distorts the gospel's central message.Giving as Grace, Not GreedProsperity theology often frames giving as a transaction: sow a seed to receive a harvest. But biblical generosity isn't about personal return—it's about grace.True giving flows from love for God and neighbor. We give not to get, but because we've already received so much. Our stewardship reflects our gratitude, not our greed. The heart of biblical giving is a response to God's grace, not a strategy for personal gain.Make your life about Christ, not your increase, not your own prosperity, but about flourishing in the image of His Son.That's the true antidote to the prosperity gospel. We aren't promised wealth, ease, or success. But we are promised Christ—and in Him, we find every blessing that matters.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 64 and planning to retire within the next year. I have approximately $10,000 that I won't need for income, and I'm seeking guidance on how to invest it wisely. I'm especially interested in options that align with biblical values and reflect my faith in the companies I support.My wife and I are approaching retirement. We're financially secure, and our home is fully paid off. One concern I have is not having long-term care insurance. I'm considering either a reverse mortgage or a home equity loan to cover potential long-term care expenses, but I'd like to understand the pros and cons of each option before moving forward.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Health, Wealth, and Happiness: How the Prosperity Gospel Overshadows the Gospel of Christ by Dr. David W.

Louisiana is one of 30 states with laws that criminalize exposing or transmitting HIV. This past legislative session, time narrowly ran out on a bill that would've expanded Louisiana's law to other/additional sexually transmitted infections.Louisiana has some of the highest rates of STIs in the nation, including HIV, but a growing body of evidence shows criminal penalties hurt efforts to solve the public health crisis. Verite New's Halle Parker joins to talk about these laws and their consequences. If you're looking for materials about Louisiana's historical heritage, one of the places you might go is LSU Libraries' Special Collections. And you don't necessarily have to physically go digging for the records anymore– much of their materials are accessible online through the Louisiana Digital Library.They recently secured a grant to help digitize more of their materials and make those documents and images more easily available to the wider world on their online interface. Gina Costello, associate dean of Technology & Special Collections, LSU Libraries joins us to discuss how the library is expanding its reach.Last November, the StoryCorps Mobile Tour visited Baton Rouge and invited volunteers to record conversations about topics of their choosing. Two participants, “Patience” Carter and Precious McCray, discussed poetry, their friendship of 20 years and McCray's recent opportunity to meet her biological family for the first time at age 35. ___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos.

In today's world, scarcity seems to be everywhere. Not enough money. Not enough time. Not enough security. It's easy to live like we're always behind, always grasping, always worried. But is that the full story?Here at FaithFi, we believe Scripture paints a different picture—one where scarcity isn't the final word. Instead, through Christ, we're invited to live with hope, wisdom, and trust in God's abundant care.The Root of ScarcityThe fear of “not having enough” isn't new. Ever since sin entered the world, our hearts have struggled with distrust. In John 10:10, Jesus describes the enemy as a thief who “comes only to steal and kill and destroy.” And that's what a scarcity mindset does. It steals peace, kills joy, and destroys our trust in God's provision.This mindset urges us to hoard instead of share, grasp instead of give, and stress instead of rest. It traps us in anxiety—a form of slavery where our lives are defined by what we lack instead of who God is.Jesus doesn't leave us in fear. In the second half of John 10:10, He offers a better way: “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”This abundance isn't about luxury—it's about the richness of God's care. From the very beginning, God created generously. Genesis 1 shows a God who overflows with creativity and provision, filling the skies, seas, and land with life. He didn't create out of need but out of joy.As Elisabeth Elliot wisely said, “God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don't have now, we don't need now.”Jesus Offers Something BetterJesus lived simply, with no home of His own, yet He never operated from scarcity. He lived generously, turning water into wine, feeding multitudes, and offering forgiveness to all. In Matthew 6:25–34, He urges us not to worry, pointing to the birds and lilies as evidence of the Father's care.“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,” Jesus tells us, “and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). This is the antidote to fear: a trust-filled life focused on God's Kingdom.So, how do we break free from the scarcity trap? Here are a few biblical steps:1. Renew Your MindRomans 12:2 calls us to be transformed by the renewal of our minds. Ask God to help you see life through the lens of His abundance, not the world's lack.2. Practice GratitudeThankfulness shifts our focus from what's missing to what God has already provided. It's a simple but powerful habit that reorients our hearts toward trust.3. Embrace StewardshipWe are not owners but stewards. Everything we have is a gift from God. Proverbs 3:9 reminds us to “Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce.”4. Give in FaithDon't give out of fear—give out of faith. 2 Corinthians 9:8 promises that God will provide all we need so that we can abound in every good work.God Is More Than EnoughLiving in God's abundance doesn't guarantee an easy life. But it does guarantee we never face our challenges alone, and we never need to be enslaved by fear.So when the world says, “There's not enough,” we can respond with confidence: Our God is more than enough. His abundance isn't just material—it's spiritual. It's peace, joy, and confidence that our Father knows exactly what we need.If you're struggling with financial fear or anxiety, we invite you to explore our 21-day devotional, Look at the Sparrows. It's designed to help you shift from fear to faith as you grow in your trust of God's provision. Order a copy or place a bulk order today at FaithFi.com/Sparrows.

With $1.4 million in assets, is that rate competitive, or should I be considering other options?I'm on a limited income and have had serious health issues in the past. My husband is retired, and I'm struggling to find affordable health insurance. I'm also worried that my health history might lead to penalties or denial. What are my best options?I set up an LLC for a rental property and assumed I could report the income as a pass-through on my personal 1040. But my tax preparer says I now need to make quarterly estimated tax payments. Is that really necessary, and how do I know what to pay?I'm 62 and a half and thinking about retiring early this coming January. My current job no longer aligns with my values. I plan to take Social Security at around $1,835/month, which is about $500 less than my current income. My wife is still working and will cover our health insurance.

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMARTES, 22 DE JULIOLAS TRES PRIMERAS PLAGASAunque los magos parecían producir ranas como Moisés y Aarón, no podían eliminarlas. Cuando el Faraón vio que los magos no podían detener la plaga ni eliminar las ranas, se sintió un poco humillado, y quiso que Moisés y Aarón suplicaran al Señor por él para que eliminara la plaga de las ranas. Empezaba a saber algo acerca de aquel Dios del que se declaraba totalmente ignorante. Moisés y Aarón le habían dicho al Faraón que ellos no producían las ranas por magia, ni por ningún poder que poseyeran; que Dios, el Dios viviente, las había hecho venir por su poder, y que solo él podía eliminarlas. Previamente, el Faraón se había jactado ante Moisés y Aarón, porque los magos podían con sus encantamientos hacer aparecer las mismas cosas. Cuando pidió a Moisés que suplicara al Señor por él, este le recordó su anterior altanería y jactancia a causa de las obras realizadas por sus magos; y preguntó al Faraón dónde estaba ahora su vanagloria, y dónde estaba el poder de aquellos magos para eliminar la plaga. El Señor escuchó las súplicas de Moisés y detuvo la plaga de ranas. Cuando el rey se vio aliviado de su angustia inmediata, volvió a negarse obstinadamente a libertar a Israel. Moisés y Aarón, por orden del Señor, hicieron que el polvo de la tierra se convirtiera en piojos a lo largo de toda la tierra de Egipto. El faraón llamó a los magos para que se pre-sentaran ante él para hacer lo mismo con sus encantamientos, pero no pudieron. Moisés y Aarón, los siervos de Dios, por orden suya, produje-ron la plaga de los piojos. Los magos, siervos de Satanás, por mandato de este, procuraron producir lo mismo con sus encantamientos, pero no pudieron. La obra de Dios se mostró superior al poder de Satanás; pues los magos con sus encantamientos solo podían realizar unas pocas hazañas. Cuando los magos vieron que no podían producir los piojos, dijeron a Faraón: "Entonces los hechiceros dijeron a Faraón: Dedo de Dios es este. Mas el corazón de Faraón se endureció, y no los escuchó, como Jehová lo había dicho" (Spiritual Gifts, t. 3, pp. 208, 209). Faraón llamó a los hechiceros para que obraran con sus encantamientos. También ellos realizaron señales y maravillas, porque Satanás vino en su ayuda para trabajar por medio de ellos. Sin embargo, aun en esto la obra de Dios resultó superior al poder de Satanás, porque los hechiceros no pudieron llevar a cabo todos los milagros que Dios había realizado mediante Moisés. Pudieron duplicar solamente algunos de ellos. Las varas de los hechiceros se convirtieron en serpientes, pero la vara de Aarón se comió a todas las demás. Después que los hechiceros procuraron producir piojos, pero fracasaron, fueron compelidos por el poder de Dios a reconocer lo siguiente: "Dedo de Dios es este". Éxodo 8:19. Satanás obró mediante los hechiceros en una forma calculada para endurecer el corazón del tirano Faraón contra las milagrosas manifestaciones del poder de Dios. Satanás pensó hacer vacilar la fe de Moisés y Aarón en el origen divino de su misión, y entonces sus instrumentos, los magos, prevalecerían. Satanás no estaba dispuesto a que el pueblo de Israel fuera liberado de la servidumbre egipcia, para que pudiera servir a Dios (Spiritual Gifts, t. 4, p. 82; parcialmente en Testimonios para la Iglesia, t. 1, p. 263).

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchLUNES, 21 DE JULIO¿QUIÉN ENDURECIÓ EL CORAZÓN DEL FARAÓN?El Faraón declaró que Moisés y Aarón eran impostores, y que no podían hacer más que sus magos. Dijeron Moisés y Aarón a Faraón: Ese Jehová que pretendes no conocer, te convencerá de que es más poderoso que todos los dioses. Le informaron que Dios aún realizaría maravillas mayores, que lo dejarían sin excusa, y que serían monumentos perpetuos de su providencia y poder a favor de Israel. "Entonces Jehová dijo a Moisés: El corazón de Faraón está endurecido, y no quiere dejar ir al pueblo. Ve por la mañana a Faraón, he aquí que él sale al río; y tú ponte a la ribera delante de él, y toma en tu mano la vara que se volvió culebra, y dile: Jehová el Dios de los hebreos me ha enviado a ti, diciendo: Deja ir a mi pueblo, para que me sirva en el desierto; y he aquí que hasta ahora no has querido oír. Así ha dicho Jehová: En esto conocerás que yo soy Jehová: he aquí, yo golpearé con la vara que tengo en mi mano el agua que está en el río, y se convertirá en sangre. Y los peces que hay en el río morirán, y hederá el río, y los egipcios tendrán asco de beber el agua del río" El faraón no quiso escuchar a Moisés y a Aarón, sino que despreció sus palabras; sin embargo, no tenía poder para hacerles daño. "Y Moisés y Aarón hicieron como Jehová lo mandó; y alzando la vara golpeó las aguas que había en el río, en presencia de Faraón y de sus siervos; y todas las aguas que había en el río se convirtieron en sangre". Durante siete días continuó la plaga sobre las aguas. Pero el rey no se humilló, sino que endureció su corazón. Se les ordenó a Moisés y a Aarón que, antes de traer las plagas, informaran fielmente a Faraón de la naturaleza de cada plaga que iba a venir, y del efecto de la plaga, para que tuviera la oportunidad de salvarse de ella, si así lo deseaba, permitiendo que los hijos de Israel fueran a sacrificar a Dios. Pero si el rey se negaba a obedecer el mandato de Dios, este lo visitaría con más juicios (Spiritual Gis, t. 3, pp. 206, 207). Se nos dice que el Señor endureció el corazón de Faraón. Las repetidas negativas del rey a escuchar la palabra del Señor provocaron mensajes cada vez más directos, más urgentes y contundentes. A cada rechazo de la luz, el Señor manifestaba un despliegue más marcado de su poder; pero la obstinación del rey crecía con cada nueva evidencia del poder y la majestad del Dios del cielo, hasta que se agotó la última flecha de misericordia de la aljaba divina. Entonces el hombre quedó completamente endurecido por su propia resistencia persistente. Faraón sembró obstinación, y cosechó lo mismo en su carácter. El Señor no pudo hacer nada más para convencerlo, porque estaba obstinado y lleno de prejuicios, hasta el punto de que el Espíritu Santo no podía acceder a su corazón. Faraón fue entregado a su propia incredulidad y dureza de corazón. La infidelidad produjo infidelidad. Cuando Faraón endureció su corazón ante la primera exhibición del poder de Dios, se hizo más propenso a un segundo rechazo del poder de Dios. El orgullo y la obstinación lo mantuvieron esclavizado y le impidieron reconocer las advertencias de Dios. Era contrario a la naturaleza del Faraón cambiar de parecer después de haber expresado una vez su propósito de no creer (The Review and Herald, "The Measure of Light Given, Measures Our Responsibility", 17 de febrero, 1891, párr. 1).

P.M. Edition for July 18. President Trump has called for the release of grand jury material related to the investigation of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The move follows the publication of an article in The Wall Street Journal about a letter bearing Trump's name that was included in a 2003 birthday album for the disgraced financier. WSJ reporter Khadeeja Safdar, who co-authored that story, talks about the reporting that went into it. Plus, President Trump has signed into law the Genius Act, which creates ground rules for stablecoins. WSJ reporter Dylan Tokar discusses why banks are worried about the cryptocurrency. And the U.S. is set to end a decades-long practice of commenting on the fairness of foreign elections. We hear from Journal reporter Robbie Gramer about why. Alex Ossola hosts.

Devotional service means that we have a whole lifetime, a fulfilling lifetime, of all these activities. There are so many that it's hard to choose from, which one wants to do next. Material life, on the other hand, by contrast, seems ludicrous. I was just comparing notes with Devavrata last night. He said something that I have noticed many times and even mentioned that at the Los Angeles Ratha-yātrā: everyone lives on one block, all the devotees. So, if you stay there and do service and go to Maṅgal Ārti, you really don't have to leave the atmosphere of the temple at all because you just walk across the street and go back. And usually, we stay there for a few days to prepare for the Ratha-yātrā, and then you get in a car, you go to the Ratha-yātrā, and you get dropped off right at the cart, so you're still in that atmosphere. You get to the festival, you're there, and then when you have to go home, you have to walk across The Venice Beach boardwalk, and there you notice a completely different environment. There is always a very noticeable contrast between the spiritual energy and the material energy. And one of my thoughts oftentimes is, "I'm surprised that people are still doing that," because I start thinking like the whole world's like what we do: sevā and having kīrtan and prasādam. And then when I see somebody else doing it, "Oh, yeah, right, it's still going on." That's a sign of how devotees can become absorbed in devotional service and no longer feel fearful, and also not in anxiety, because they are being fully satisfied. Then, of course, there's the philosophy. As Prabhupāda writes in the Śrī Īśopaniṣad, "All forms of incompleteness are experienced due to incomplete knowledge of the complete whole." By hearing in association with devotees, like in a Bhāgavatam class, there is also an intellectual satisfaction, where we feel that what we are doing it's all reasonable, it's well-reasoned . It's not just some whimsical activity. Like the philosophical statements of the Bhagavad-gītā and the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam are so profound that they satisfy the mind. In fact, I often have the feeling, "How do they know everything?" When we read the Bhāgavatam and they describe what material life is like, it's like, "How do they know that?" They know all the psychology of why someone would be in the material world, and what it feels like to be trounced by the material energy. The sages describe it so accurately that one feels to be properly situated in devotional service. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu gave these basic concepts that anybody can investigate for themselves. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------

Harry Jowsey is here and he's not holding back! We have the reality TV star and podcaster join us for a wild conversation about everything from having threesomes with friends (does it make it awkward afterward?) to what he's looking for in a partner (or is he not looking at all?) to why he's faked orgasms before (yes guys do it, too). He defends his fuckboy reputation and offers advice to the ladies for how not to get love bombed, and we find out what he actually knows about women's bodies, from what we like in bed to what an IUD is for. And then we break down two juicy listener emails and decide whether the guys in question are boyfriend material. Before Harry joins us, we're offering advice for a tough situation submitted from a listener – her partner made plans to propose (still hasn't) and she's struggling with staying in the relationship.
