Abdaljawad Omar and Lara Sheehi will join us on the 2nd anniversary of the beginning of Tufan Al-Aqsa! We will remember the morning of October 7th 2023. In the two years since then there has been a genocidal counterinsurgency war waged against the whole Palestinian population, most acutely through the apocalyptic decimation of the Gaza Strip. There has also been constant resistance in many forms. How do we consider the present moment, the possibilities (once again) of "ceasefire," the attempts to end the "Palestinian Question," the actuality of resistance and the possibilities for a resistance that will produce a liberated Palestine, and more broadly a world that we all want to inhabit. Remind yourself of some of the images from Tufan Al-Aqsa. Abdaljawad Omar is a Palestinian scholar, educator, and theorist whose work focuses on the politics of resistance, decolonization, and the Palestinian struggle. He has written extensively in Arabic. In English, in addition to being a frequent contributor to Millennials Are Killing Capitalism, he has contributed to Electronic Intifada, Ebb Magazine, Material, Mondoweiss, Communis, Monthly Review, and Rusted Radishes among other outlets. Lara Sheehi is a Research Fllow at the University of South Africa. She was the founding faculty director of the Psychoanalysis and the Arab World Lab. Lara's work takes up decolonial and anti-oppressive approaches to psychoanalysis, with a focus on liberation struggles in the Global South. She is co-author with Stephen Sheehi of Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine (Routledge, 2022) which won the Middle East Monitor's 2022 Palestine Book Award for Best Academic Book. Lara is the author of the forthcoming book, From the Clinic to the Street: Psychoanalysis for Revolutionary Futures (Pluto Press, 2026) Support Palestinians through the Sameer Project or Lifeline4Gaza

Él los dirigió y guio rodeados por la columna de nubes de día y la columna de fuego de noche. Los preservó de los peligros del desierto, los llevó a la tierra prometida, y a la vista de todas las naciones que no reconocían a Dios, estableció a Israel como su posesión escogida, la viña del Señor. A este pueblo le fueron confiados los oráculos de Dios. Se lo rodeó con el vallado de los preceptos de su ley, los principios eternos de verdad, justicia y pureza. La obediencia a esos principios había de ser su protección, pues los salvaría de la destrucción propia por las prácticas pecaminosas. Y, como la torre en la viña, Dios colocó en medio de la tierra su santo templo. Cristo era su instructor. Así como había estado con ellos en el desierto, había de continuar siendo su maestro y guía. En el tabernáculo y en el templo su gloria moraba en la santa shekinah encima del propiciatorio. En favor de ellos, manifestó constantemente las riquezas de su amor y paciencia. Dios quería hacer de su pueblo Israel una alabanza y una gloria. Se dio a ellos toda ventaja espiritual. Dios no les negó nada favorable a la formación del carácter que había de hacerlos sus representantes... Por su desobediencia a Dios, Adán y Eva habían perdido el Edén, y debido a su pecado toda la tierra quedó maldita. Pero si el pueblo de Dios seguía su instrucción, su tierra había de ser restaurada a la fertilidad y la belleza. Dios mismo les dio instrucciones en cuanto a la forma de cultivar el suelo, y ellos habían de cooperar con él en su restauración. De modo que toda la tierra, bajo el dominio de Dios, llegaría a ser una lección objetiva de verdad espiritual. Así como en obediencia a las leyes naturales de Dios, la tierra había de producir sus tesoros, así en obediencia a sus leyes morales el corazón de la gente había de reflejar los atributos del carácter de Dios. Aun los paganos reconocerían la superioridad de los que servían y adoraban al Dios viviente... Los hijos de Israel habían de ocupar todo el territorio que Dios les había señalado. Habían de ser desposeídas las naciones que rechazaran el culto y el servicio al verdadero Dios. Pero el propósito de Dios era que por la revelación de su carácter mediante Israel, los hombres fueran atraídos a él. A todo el mundo se le dio la invitación del Evangelio. Por medio de la enseñanza del sistema de sacrificios, Cristo había de ser levantado delante de las naciones, y habían de vivir todos los que lo miraran. Todos los que, como Rahab la cananea, y Rut la moabita, se volvieran de la idolatría al culto del verdadero Dios, habían de unirse con el pueblo escogido. A medida que aumentara el número de los israelitas, estos habían de ensanchar sus fronteras, hasta que su reino abarcara el mundo. Dios deseaba colocar todas las naciones bajo su gobierno misericordioso. Deseaba que la tierra se llenara de gozo y paz. Creó al hombre para la felicidad, y anhela llenar el corazón humano con la paz del cielo. Desea que las familias terrenales sean un símbolo de la gran familia celestial (Palabras de vida del gran Maestro, pp. 230-233).

A todos los que quieran recibir instrucción les impartirá gracia y sabiduría... Les revelará sus defectos de carácter y concederá fortaleza a todos los que buscan su ayuda para que corrijan sus errores. Cualquiera que sea el pecado que acose al hombre, por amargas e infames que sean las pasiones que luchen por dominarlo, puede vencer si está dispuesto a vigilar y combatir contra ellos en el nombre y con la fortaleza del Ayudador de Israel... El hijo de Dios debe cultivar una aguda sensibilidad hacia el pecado... Una de las artimañas más eficaces de Satanás consiste en inducir a los hombres a cometer pecadillos a fin de enceguecer la mente para que no vean el peligro de las pequeñas complacencias, de los insignificantes apartamientos de los claros requisitos establecidos por Dios. Muchos que se apartarían con horror de alguna gran transgresión, son inducidos a considerar el pecado en asuntos menores como cosa sin mayor consecuencia. Pero estos pecadillos consumen la esencia de la piedad en el alma. Los pies que entran en un sendero que se aparta del camino recto están orientándose hacia el camino ancho que termina en la Muerte. Cualquiera que sea la situación en que Dios nos ha colocado, cualesquiera sean nuestras responsabilidades o nuestros peligros, debiéramos recordar que Dios se ha comprometido a impartir la gracia necesaria al que la busca con fervor. Los que se sienten insuficientes para su cargo y sin embargo lo aceptan porque Dios así lo ordena, confiando en el poder y en la sabiduría de él, avanzarán de fortaleza en fortaleza (God's Amazing Grace, p. 242; parcialmente en La maravillosa gracia de Dios, p. 242). Dios quiere que alcancemos al ideal de perfección hecho posible para nosotros por el don de Cristo. Nos invita a que escojamos el lado de la justicia, a ponernos en relación con los agentes celestiales, a adoptar principios que restaurarán en nosotros la imagen divina. En su Palabra escrita y en el gran libro de la naturaleza ha revelado los principios de la vida. Es tarea nuestra conocer estos principios y por medio de la obediencia cooperar con Dios en restaurar la salud del cuerpo tanto como la del alma. Los hombres necesitan aprender que no pueden poseer en su plenitud las bendiciones de la obediencia, sino cuando reciben la gracia de Cristo. Esta es la que capacita al hombre para obedecer las leyes de Dios y para libertarse de la esclavitud de los malos hábitos. Es el único poder que puede hacerle firme en el buen camino y permanecer en él. Cuando se recibe el evangelio en su pureza y con todo su poder, es un remedio para las enfermedades originadas por el pecado. Sale el Sol de justicia, "trayendo salud eterna en sus alas". Malaquías 4:2 (VM). Todo lo que el mundo proporciona no puede sanar al corazón quebrantado, ni dar la paz al espíritu, ni disipar las inquietudes, ni desterrar la enfermedad. La fama, el genio y el talento son impotentes para alegrar el corazón entristecido o restaurar la vida malgastada. La vida de Dios en el alma es la única esperanza del hombre (El Ministerio de curación, pp. 77, 78).

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,04 DE OCTUBRESORPRENDIDOS POR LA GRACIAEl pueblo de Dios que aguardaba el segundo advenimiento se aproximaba al momento cuando tiernamente esperaba que se cumpliera la plenitud de su gozo en la segunda venida del Salvador. Pero volvió a transcurrir el tiempo sin que se produjera el advenimiento de Jesús. Resultó difícil retomar las preocupaciones de la vida que pensábamos que habían terminado para siempre. Fue un chasco muy amargo que sobrecogió al pequeño grupo cuya fe había sido tan fuerte y cuya esperanza había sido tan elevada. Pero quedamos sorprendidos al ver que nos sentíamos tan libres en el Señor y que éramos tan poderosamente sostenidos por su fortaleza y su gracia (Testimonios para la Iglesia, t. 1, p. 58). Los discípulos de Cristo saben muy poco de las tramas que Satanás y sus huestes urden contra ellos. Pero el que está sentado, en los cielos hará servir todas esas maquinaciones para el cumplimiento de sus altos designios. Si el Señor permite que su pueblo pase por el fuego de la tentación, no es porque se goce en sus penas y aflicciones, sino porque esas pruebas son necesarias para su victoria final. Hemos sido tomados de la cantera del mundo y traídos al taller del Señor para ser labrados a fin de ocupar un lugar en su templo... No os rebeléis bajo este proceso de la gracia. Puede ser que seáis una piedra tosca que requiere mucho trabajo antes de estar preparada para ocupar el lugar que Dios le ha designado. No os sorprendáis si con el martillo y el cincel de las pruebas Dios os va quitando los defectos de carácter. Solo él puede realizar esta obra. Podéis estar seguros de que no dará ni un golpe inútil. Se me ha mostrado que Dios dio a los suyos un cáliz de amargura que beber, para limpiarlos y purificarlos... Vi que el amargo cáliz puede dulcificarse con la paciencia, resignación y oración, y que producirá en el corazón de quienes lo reciban, el efecto que le fue asignado, con lo cual Dios quedará honrado y glorificado. No es floja tarea el ser cristiano poseído y aprobado por Dios. Basta su gracia para resistir todas las pruebas, y aunque estas sean más duras que nunca, si tenemos absoluta confianza en Dios, podremos vencer todas las tentaciones y por su gracia salir victoriosos. Debemos llevar puesta la completa armadura de Dios, y estar listos en todo momento para sostener el conflicto con las potestades de las tinieblas (The Faith I Live By, p. 317; parcialmente en La fe por la cual vivo, 7 de noviembre, p. 319).

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode 646, And It's About Insights For Small Construction Business Owners Post-Disruption The past few years have been challenging for small business owners everywhere. For contractors, the global disruptions—pandemic shutdowns, supply chain bottlenecks, labor shortages, and inflation—hit especially hard. Projects were delayed, material costs spiked overnight, and cash flow felt like a rollercoaster. If you're a small construction business owner, you've lived through it. And while it's been painful, it's also been a powerful teacher. As construction bookkeeping specialists, we've had front-row seats to see how disruptions shook contractors and what strategies helped them survive—or even thrive—despite the chaos. Here are the key lessons learned from global disruption that every small contractor should carry forward. 1. Cash Flow is King When the world turned upside down, it wasn't just about profits on paper—it was about cash in the bank. Contractors who had substantial cash reserves or disciplined systems for separating money (using methods like Profit First) were able to weather late client payments, supply delays, and unexpected expenses. Those who ran lean with no buffer struggled the most. Many relied on credit cards, lines of credit, or personal savings to keep projects moving. Lesson: Always budget with a cushion. Build a reserve fund equal to at least two to three months of operating expenses. Cash flow isn't a luxury—it's survival. 2. Material pricing can change overnight Lumber tripled in price. The costs of concrete, steel, and copper spiked. Even basic items like drywall screws saw shortages. For contractors who bid on jobs months in advance, these increases wiped out their profit margins. The most resilient contractors learned to: Add price escalation clauses in contracts. Limit the validity period of an estimate. Communicate openly with clients about material volatility. Lesson: Build flexibility into your pricing. Protect yourself in writing from market swings you can't control. 3. Diversification builds stability Some contractors relied heavily on one type of work, such as extensive remodels or commercial tenant improvements. When those markets slowed during lockdowns, their revenue disappeared. Others had more diversified income streams—such as small service calls, maintenance contracts, consulting work, or digital products—and were able to pivot. Lesson: Don't rely on one type of project or client. Diversify your work mix so when one stream slows, another sustains you. 4. Relationships matter more than ever When suppliers had limited stock, who got the materials first? The contractors have strong, long-standing relationships. When crews were in short supply, which subs stuck around? The ones treated fairly, paid promptly, and respected. Lesson: Invest in your relationships. Pay suppliers and subs on time. Be transparent with clients. In times of disruption, trust and loyalty can save your business. 5. Technology isn't optional anymore The pandemic accelerated the adoption of technology across the industry. Contractors who relied only on paper receipts, hand-written invoices, or in-person meetings found themselves at a standstill. Those using cloud-based bookkeeping, project management apps, digital invoicing, and video calls continued to move forward. Lesson: Adopt technology before you “need” it. Utilize digital systems for bookkeeping, estimating, contract management, and communication. It's not about replacing personal touch—it's about being adaptable when disruptions happen. 6. Lean teams are resilient teams Many small contractors discovered they were carrying extra overhead—unused office space, underutilized vehicles, or administrative costs that didn't directly produce profit. During global disruption, reducing the crew to essentials, subs, and systems made survival possible. Lesson: Know your actual costs and eliminate waste. A lean operation is easier to sustain through downturns and easier to scale when demand returns. 7. Communication is your strongest tool One of the biggest frustrations during disruption was uncertainty. Clients wanted updates. Subs wanted to know if they'd be paid. Suppliers were vague about delivery dates. Contractors who communicated clearly—even if the news wasn't good—earned respect. Those who stayed silent or overpromised quickly lost trust. Lesson: Make communication a priority. Share updates often and honestly. It builds confidence, even when circumstances aren't ideal. 8. Mental health and burnout are real Global disruption didn't just strain finances—it strained people. Many contractors burned out from trying to keep jobs going under impossible conditions. Some worked longer hours to break even. Those who emerged stronger learned to set boundaries, delegate, and take care of themselves as much as they did their businesses. Lesson: You can't build a sustainable business if you're running on empty. Take time to recharge. A healthy owner leads a wholesome company. 9. Long-term planning beats short-term panic Disruption exposed those who were running their business reactively and those who had systems in place for long-term stability. Contractors with business plans, financial tracking, and clear goals were able to make adjustments without losing direction. Those who made decisions only in the heat of crisis often compounded their problems. Lesson: Develop a Long-Term Strategy for Your Business. Even if the world shifts, you'll have a framework to guide your choices. 10. Adaptability is a competitive advantage Perhaps the biggest lesson? The contractors who survived weren't always the strongest or the biggest—they were the most adaptable. They adopted new ways of working, revised their bidding process, experimented with various marketing approaches, and weren't afraid to adapt their business model. Lesson: Stay flexible. The ability to pivot quickly is more valuable than size or experience. Final thoughts Global disruption has left scars on the construction industry, but it has also left lessons that we can't ignore. For small contractors, the takeaway is clear: Protect your cash flow. Write airtight contracts. Diversify your work. Invest in relationships and technology. Prioritize communication and your own well-being. Disruptions may come again—whether global or local. But the lessons you've learned now can make your business stronger, more resilient, and more profitable in the long run.

What if repairs didn't stall your schedule or drain your cash while invoices pile up? We sit down with Starwind Equipment Services' president, Randi Glaszer, to unpack a smarter way to protect heavy equipment—one that matches the way contractors actually buy, finance, and fix their machines.We break down how multi‑year physical damage insurance on admitted paper can be written to the life of a lease or loan, with rates locked, loss payees satisfied, and premiums often rolled into financing. Randi explains why Starwind pays 100% actual cash value up front instead of staging replacement cost, and how broad PDI protection follows the machine through real‑world risks like transit damage, overturn, flood, theft, and job site incidents. The real unlock is claims. Starwind assigns one adjuster to coordinate both PDI and ESC from day one, opening files together, paying verified labor during parts delays, and ensuring towing, cranes, and protection costs don't slip through notice windows. We also talk eligibility, state availability, equipment age and exclusions, and why this model was built to advocate for small and mid‑sized contractors who can't afford friction when iron is idle. If you want fewer surprises, faster releases from the dealer, and protection that keeps projects moving, this conversation is for you.

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchJUEVES, 02 DE OCTUBREPRÓSPERO Y EXITOSOHay perfecta armonía entre la Ley de Dios y el evangelio de Jesucristo. "Yo y el Padre una cosa somos" dijo el gran Maestro. El evangelio de Cristo es la buena nueva de su gracia, por medio de la cual el hombre puede ser liberado de la condenación del pecado y capacitado para obedecer la Ley de Dios. El evangelio señala hacia el código moral como regla de vida. Esa Ley, mediante sus demandas de una obediencia sin desviaciones, le muestra continuamente al pecador el evangelio del perdón y la paz. Dice el gran apóstol: "¿Luego por la fe invalidamos la ley? En ninguna manera, sino que confirmamos la ley". Romanos 3:31. Y de nuevo declara que "la ley a la verdad es santa, y el mandamiento santo, justo y bueno". Romanos 7:12. Establecer amor supremo a Dios y un amor igual a nuestros semejantes es indispensable, a la vez, para la gloria de Dios y la felicidad de los humanos (Mente, carácter y personalidad, t. 2, p. 584). Los dones de su gracia mediante Cristo son gratuitos para todos. No hay elección, excepto la propia, por la cual alguien haya de perecer. Dios ha expuesto en su Palabra las condiciones de acuerdo con las cuales se elegirá a cada alma para la vida eterna: la obediencia a sus mandamientos, mediante la fe en Cristo. Dios ha elegido un carácter que está en armonía con su ley, y todo el que alcance la norma requerida, entrará en el reino de la gloria. Cristo mismo dijo: "El que cree en el Hijo, tiene vida eterna; mas el que es incrédulo al Hijo, no verá la vida". "No todo el que me dice: Señor, Señor, entrará en el reino de los cielos: mas el que hiciere la voluntad de mi Padre que está en los cielos". Juan 3:36; Mateo 7:21. Y en el Apocalipsis declara: "Bienaventurados los que guardan sus mandamientos, para que su potencia sea en el árbol de la vida, y que entren por las puertas en la ciudad". Apocalipsis 22:14. En cuanto a la redención final del hombre, esta es la única elección que nos enseña la Palabra de Dios. Es elegida toda alma que labre su propia salvación con temor y temblor. Es elegido el que se ponga la armadura y pelee la buena batalla de la fe. Es elegido el que vele en oración, el que escudriñe las Escrituras, y huya de la tentación. Es elegido el que tenga fe continuamente, y el que obedezca a cada palabra que sale de la boca de Dios. Las medidas tomadas para la redención se ofrecen gratuitamente a todos, pero los resultados de la redención serán únicamente para los que hayan cumplido las condiciones (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, pp. 207, 208). VIERNES, 03 DE OCTUBRE: PARA ESTUDIAR Y MEDITARLa maravillosa gracia de Dios, "Mejores promesas", 8 de mayo, p. 136.Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, "La ley y los dos pactos", pp. 388-390.
NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosMIÉRCOLES, 01 DE OCTUBRE¡ESFUÉRZATE Y SÉ VALIENTE!Josué era ahora el jefe reconocido de Israel. Se había distinguido principalmente como guerrero, y sus dones y virtudes resultaban de un valor especial en esta etapa de la historia de su pueblo. Valeroso, resuelto y perseverante, pronto para actuar, incorruptible, despreocupado de los intereses egoístas en su solicitud por aquellos encomendados a su protección y, sobre todo, inspirado por una viva fe en Dios, tal era el carácter del hombre escogido divinamente para dirigir los ejércitos de Israel en su entrada triunfal en la tierra prometida. Durante la estada en el desierto, había actuado como primer ministro de Moisés, y por su fidelidad serena y humilde, su perseverancia cuando otros flaqueaban, su firmeza para sostener la verdad en medio del peligro, había dado evidencias de su capacidad para suceder a Moisés aun antes de ser llamado a ese puesto por la voz de Dios. Con gran ansiedad y desconfianza de sí mismo, Josué había mirado la obra que le esperaba; pero Dios eliminó sus temores al asegurarle: "Como yo fui con Moisés, seré contigo; no te dejaré, ni te desampararé... Tú repartirás a este pueblo por heredad la tierra, de la cual juré a sus padres que la daría a ellos". "Yo os he entregado, como lo había dicho a Moisés, todo lugar que pisare la planta de vuestro pie". Véase Josué 1-4. Había de ser suya toda la tierra que se extendía hasta las alturas del Líbano en la lejanía, hasta las playas de la gran mar, y hasta las orillas del Éufrates en el este. A esta promesa se agregó el mandamiento: "Solamente te esfuerces, y seas muy valiente, para cuidar de hacer conforme a toda la ley que mi siervo Moisés te mandó". Además le ordenó el Señor: "El libro de esta ley nunca se apartará de tu boca; antes de día y de noche meditar en él; no te apartes de ella ni a diestra ni a siniestra;" "porque entonces harás prosperar tu camino, y todo te saldrá bien" (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, pp. 514, 515). Nos olvidamos demasiado a menudo que nuestros colaboradores necesitan fuerza y valor. En tiempos de pruebas o dificultades particulares, procurad demostrarles vuestro interés y vuestra simpatía. Cuando tratáis de ayudarles por vuestras oraciones, hacédselo saber. Haced repercutir en toda la línea el mensaje que Dios dirige a sus obreros: "Esfuérzate y sé valiente". Josué 1:6 (Testimonios para la Iglesia, t. 7, pp. 176, 177). El gran Soberano de todas las naciones había declarado que Moisés no habría de introducir a la congregación de Israel en la buena tierra, y la súplica fervorosa del siervo de Dios no pudo conseguir que su sentencia se revocara. El sabía que había de morir. Sin embargo, no había vacilado un solo momento en su cuidado de Israel. Con toda fidelidad, había procurado preparar a la congregación para su entrada en la herencia prometida. A la orden divina, Moisés y Josué fueron al tabernáculo, mientras que la columna de nube descendía y se asentaba sobre la puerta. Allí el pueblo le fue encargado solemnemente a Josué. La obra de Moisés como jefe de Israel había terminado. Y a pesar de esto, se olvidó de sí mismo en su interés por su pueblo. En presencia de la multitud congregada, Moisés, en nombre de Dios, dirigió a su sucesor estas palabras de aliento santo: "Esfuérzate y anímate, que tú meterás los hijos de Israel en la tierra que les juré, y yo seré contigo". Deuteronomio 31:23. Luego se volvió hacia los ancianos y príncipes del pueblo, y les encargó solemnemente que acatasen fielmente las instrucciones de Dios que él les había comunicado (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, pp. 502, 503).

"A Abraham fueron hechas las promesas, y a su simiente". Gálatas 3:16. Abraham mismo debía participar de la herencia. Puede parecer que el cumplimiento de la promesa de Dios tarda mucho; pues "un día delante del Señor es como mil años y mil años como un día;" puede parecer que se demora, pero al tiempo determinado "sin duda vendrá; no tardará". 2 Pedro 3:8; Habacuc 2:3. La dádiva prometida a Abraham y a su simiente incluía no solo la tierra de Canaán, sino toda la tierra. Así dice el apóstol: "No por la ley fue dada la promesa a Abraham o a su simiente, que sería heredero del mundo, sino por la justicia de la fe". Romanos 4:13. Y la Sagrada Escritura enseña expresamente que las promesas hechas a Abraham han de ser cumplidas mediante Cristo. Todos los que pertenecen a Cristo, "ciertamente la simiente de Abraham" son, "y confirme a la promesa los herederos", herederos de la "herencia incorruptible, y que no puede contaminarse, ni marchitarse", herederos de la tierra libre de la maldición del pecado. Porque "el reino, y el señorío, y la majestad de los reinos debajo de todo el cielo", será "dado al pueblo de los santos del Altísimo;" y "los mansos heredarán la tierra, y se recrearán con abundancia de paz". Gálatas 3:29; 1 Pedro 1:4; Daniel 7:27; Salmo 37:11. Dios dio a Abraham una vislumbre de esta herencia inmortal, y con esta esperanza, él se conformó. "Por fe habitó en la tierra prometida como en tierra ajena, morando en cabañas con Isaac y Jacob, herederos juntamente de la misma promesa: porque esperaba ciudad con fundamentos, el artífice y hacedor de la cual es Dios". Hebreos 11:9, 10. De la descendencia de Abraham dice la Escritura: "Conforme a la fe murieron todos estos sin haber recibido las promesas, sino mirándolas de lejos, y creyéndolas, y saludándolas, y confesando que eran peregrinos y advenedizos sobre la tierra". Tenemos que vivir aquí como "peregrinos y advenedizos", si deseamos la patria "mejor, es a saber, la celestial". Los que son hijos de Abraham desearán la ciudad que él buscaba, "el artífice y hacedor de la cual es Dios". Vers. 13, 16 (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, pp. 166, 167). [O]yó la voz de Dios diciéndole que no esperase la inmediata posesión de la tierra prometida, y anunciándole los sufrimientos que su posteridad tendría que soportar antes de tomar posesión de Canaán. Le fue revelado el plan de redención, en la muerte de Cristo, el gran sacrificio, y su venida en gloria. También vio Abraham la tierra restaurada a su belleza edénica, que se le daría a él para siempre, como pleno y final cumplimiento de la promesa (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, pp. 131, 132).

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, 29 DE SEPTIEMBRE¡PASA! ¡POSEE! ¡REPARTE! ¡SIRVE!En todo sacrificio ferviente y sincero que hagamos en el servicio del Maestro, nuestras facultades se acrecentarán. Mientras nos entregamos como instrumentos para la operación del Espíritu Santo, la gracia de Dios trabajará en nosotros sojuzgando las viejas inclinaciones, venciendo las propensiones poderosas y formando nuevos hábitos. Cuando apreciamos y obedecemos las indicaciones del Espíritu, nuestros corazones son ampliados para recibir más y más de su poder, y para hacer una obra mayor y mejor... El humilde obrero que responde obedientemente al llamado de Dios puede estar seguro de que recibirá ayuda divina. El aceptar una responsabilidad tan grande y santa resulta elevador para el carácter. Pone en acción las facultades mentales y espirituales más elevadas y fortalece y purifica la mente y el corazón. Mediante la fe en el poder de Dios, es admirable cuán fuerte puede llegar a ser un hombre débil, cuán decididos sus esfuerzos, cuán prolífico en grandes resultados. El que empieza con poco conocimiento, de una manera humilde, y dice lo que sabe, mientras busca diligentemente un conocimiento mayor, hallará todo el tesoro celestial que espera su demanda. Cuanto más trate de impartir luz, más luz recibirá. Cuanto más procure uno explicar la Palabra de Dios a otros, con amor por las almas, más clara se le presentará esta. Cuanto más usemos nuestro conocimiento y ejercitemos nuestras facultades, más conocimiento y poder tendremos. Todo esfuerzo hecho por Cristo repercutirá en bendición sobre nosotros mismos. Si empleamos nuestros recursos para su gloria, él nos dará más. Al procurar ganar a otros para Cristo, llevando la preocupación por las almas en nuestras oraciones, nuestros propios corazones palpitarán bajo la vivificante influencia de la gracia de Dios; nuestros propios afectos resplandecerán con más divino fervor; nuestra vida cristiana toda será más real, más ferviente, más llena de oración. El valor del hombre se estima en el cielo de acuerdo con la capacidad que el corazón tiene de conocer a Dios. Este conocimiento es la fuente de la cual fluye todo poder. Dios creó al hombre de manera que toda facultad pudiera ser la facultad de la mente divina; y está siempre tratando de asociar la mente humana con la divina. Él nos ofrece el privilegio de cooperar con Cristo en la obra de revelar su gracia al mundo, a fin de que podamos recibir un conocimiento mayor de las cosas celestiales. Mirando a Jesús obtenemos vislumbres más claras y distintas de Dios, y por la contemplación somos transformados. La bondad, el amor por nuestros semejantes, llega a ser nuestro instinto natural. Desarrollamos un carácter que será la copia del carácter divino. Creciendo a su semejanza, ampliamos nuestra capacidad de conocer a Dios. Entramos cada vez en mayor relación con el mundo celestial, y llegamos a poseer un poder creciente para recibir las riquezas del conocimiento y la sabiduría de la eternidad (Palabras de vida (El gran Maestro, pp. 288-290).
Read OnlineJesus said to the Pharisees: “There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day. And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man's table. Dogs even used to come and lick his sores. When the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham.” Luke 16:19–22No rational person would want to go to hell. The rich man in this parable certainly did not desire hell, but his actions led him there. Most people, however, do want to be rich in this world. In fact, many people would think it irrational not to desire wealth. It is very rare to find a person who chooses to live in simplicity as a means to deeper spiritual fulfillment and as a preparation for the riches of Heaven. But one clear message from our Gospel story today is that the life that Lazarus lived on earth was far better than that of the rich man. So which life do you prefer here and now? While it is true that the rich man's riches were not the exclusive cause of his eternal damnation, it is also true that his riches imposed upon him a temptation toward selfishness and indifference to the needs of others, which ended in his eternal demise.Imagine that you won many millions of dollars. What would you do with it? As a good Christian, you might immediately profess that you would use that money for good, to help the poor and make a difference in the lives of others. What would the ideal response be to winning many millions of dollars? Would it suffice to give away ten percent and then use the rest for yourself? Probably not.One thing that this parable teaches is that material wealth not only adds nothing of value to our eternal reward, it also adds much temptation to our lives. True, if you received a lot of money and then used that money exclusively for good in accord with God's will, that would be a holy act of charity on your part and good for your eternal soul. But doing so would be very difficult. It would be very difficult to resist the temptations that come from material wealth.Is it good to be rich? It is certainly good to be able to take care of your basic needs in life and those of your family. Having money helps you do that. But once our basic needs have been met, the money left over is far more of a temptation than it is a blessing. We have to believe that. And if you are among those who want to become rich so that you can help others, consider this scenario. If that is your motivation, and if you did win a large amount of money, would it be possible for you to continue living the way you are living now? Imagine staying in the same home, driving the same car, having the same lifestyle, and using all the money you obtained 100% for the glory of God and the good of others. That would be hard to do. But if you could do it, not only would it be good for others, it would be exceptionally good for your own soul. Though this Gospel story has many valuable lessons in it, one of the clearest messages is that earthly poverty benefits a soul far more than earthly wealth. Many people will find that hard to accept.Reflect, today, upon the stark contrast between Lazarus and the rich man. One dined sumptuously every day, was clothed in fine linen and purple garments and then spent eternity in the netherworld where he was tormented. The other longed to eat the scraps from another's table, had no home, was covered in sores, but spent eternity in Heaven after being carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. Choose to imitate Lazarus rather than the rich man. If you have many material possessions, work hard at being detached from them. Live simply, be generous, and never neglect those in need. If you have very little, do not covet more. Eliminate envy, don't despair, trust in the providence of God, and rejoice that, like Lazarus, you are able to build up eternal riches within your soul that will remain with you forever. Lord of true riches, the spiritual wealth of true virtue, charity, faith and hope are all that matters in life. Material possessions mean little in this life and are a source of many temptations. Please free me from the desire for wealth. Free me from greed, selfishness and envy. Fill me with a spirit of detachment and generosity, and help me to build up true treasure in Heaven. Jesus, I trust in You. Image: The Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man, via National Gallery of ArtSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc.

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchDOMINGO, 28 DE SEPTIEMBREUN NUEVO MOISÉSNunca se apartará de tu boca este libro de la ley, sino que de día y de noche meditarás en él, para que guardes y hagas conforme a todo lo que en él está escrito; porque entonces harás prosperar tu camino, y todo te saldrá bien. Josué 1:8. Si los hombres caminan en el sendero que Dios les ha señalado, tendrán un consejero cuya sabiduría está por encima de toda sabiduría humana. Josué era un general sabio porque Dios era su guía. La primera espada que Josué usó fue la espada del Espíritu, la Palabra de Dios... Debido a que Josué tendría que hacer frente a las influencias más fuertes que se levantarían en contra de sus principios de justicia, el Señor misericordiosamente le encomendó que no se apartara ni a diestra ni a siniestra. Debía seguir un camino de estricta integridad... Si no hubiera habido peligro delante de Josué, Dios no le hubiera repetido una y otra vez que fuese valiente. Pero en medio de todas sus inquietudes, Josué tenía su Dios para guiarle. No hay mayor engaño para un hombre que suponer que en cualquier dificultad puede encontrar un guía mejor que Dios, un consejero más sabio en cualquier emergencia, una defensa más fuerte bajo cualquier circunstancia. El Señor tiene una gran obra para ser hecha en este mundo. La obra de Dios ha sido dada a cada hombre para que la realice. Pero el hombre no debe hacer del hombre su guía, para que no sea conducido por el mal camino; esto es siempre inseguro. Mientras la religión de la Biblia incluye los principios de la actividad en el servicio, al mismo tiempo está la necesidad de pedir sabiduría diariamente de la Fuente de toda sabiduría. ¿Cuál fue la victoria de Josué? Meditarás en la Palabra de Dios de día y de noche. La palabra del Señor llegó a Josué precisamente antes que pasara el Jordán... Este era el secreto de la victoria de Josué. Hizo de Dios su guía. Los que ocupan cargos de consejeros debieran ser hombres generosos, hombres de fe, hombres de oración, hombres que busquen diligentemente luz e inteligencia para comprender cuál es la mejor manera de desempeñar su cometido. Josué, el dirigente de Israel, escudriñó diligentemente los libros en los cuales Moisés había anotado fielmente las instrucciones impartidas por Dios... para no actuar imprudentemente (Conflicto y valor, 20 de abril, p. 116).
Dr. Kimberly Harms discusses the importance of end of life planning. She shares her journey from dentistry to becoming a grief counselor, death doula, mediator, and life coach after personal loss, emphasizing the importance of preparing for death and leaving a meaningful legacy. She explains how avoiding conversations about death often leads to family conflict, highlighting the need for clear wills, healthcare directives, letters of intent, and honest family discussions. Beyond finances, she stresses that legacies should center on love, resilience, forgiveness, and teaching life skills to future generations. We discuss... Dr. Kimberly Harms transitioned from a 30-year dental career to grief counseling and becoming a death doula after personal health issues and loss. She emphasizes the importance of preparing for death to prevent family conflict and ensure a peaceful legacy. Clear wills, healthcare directives, letters of intent, and family discussions are critical to avoiding post-death disputes. Legacy goes beyond money, including love, resilience, life skills, and emotional guidance for future generations. Grief is a process that requires active effort, time, and sometimes professional help to work through. Celebrating life after grieving can bring joy and help loved ones move forward. Discussing death openly with family, including children, helps prepare them and reduces misunderstandings later. Emotional affairs, forgiveness, and reconciliation should be addressed while alive to avoid burdening loved ones. Material possessions should be organized or distributed before death to minimize conflict. True legacy is remembered in the hearts and minds of loved ones, not through wealth or public recognition. Giving back through acts like teaching, volunteering, or creating positive impact can extend one's legacy beyond family. Preparing now—financially, emotionally, and relationally—ensures loved ones can thrive after one's passing.

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, 27 DE SEPTIEMBRELA FÓRMULA DEL ÉXITODespués de la muerte de Moisés, Josué había de ser el dirigente de Israel que tendría que conducirlos a la tierra prometida. Había sido su primer ministro durante la mayor parte del tiempo que los israelitas dedicaron a peregrinar por el desierto. Había visto las maravillosas obras realizadas por Dios por medio de Moisés, y comprendía bien la disposición del pueblo. Era uno de los dos espías que fueron enviados a explorar la tierra prometida, y uno de los dos que dio un fiel informe de su riqueza y que los animó a poseer la tierra con el poder de Dios. Estaba bien calificado para llevar a cabo esa importante tarea. El Señor prometió a Josué que estaría con él como había estado con Moisés, y que obraría para que Canaán le resultara fácil de conquistar, con la condición de que fuera fiel y guardara todos sus mandamientos. Él estaba preocupado por saber cómo cumpliría su comisión de conducir al pueblo a la tierra de Canaán, pero estas palabras de ánimo disiparon sus temores. Josué mandó a los hijos de Israel que se prepararan para un viaje de tres días, y ordenó a todos los hombres de guerra que estuvieran listos para la batalla. "Entonces respondieron a Josué, diciendo: Nosotros haremos todas las cosas que nos has mandado, e iremos adondequiera que nos mandes. De la manera que obedecimos a Moisés en todas las cosas, así te obedeceremos a ti; solamente que Jehová tu Dios esté contigo, como estuvo con Moisés. Cualquiera que fuere rebelde a tu mandamiento, y no obedeciere tus palabras en todas las cosas que le mandes, que muera; solamente que te esfuerces y seas valiente". El cruce del Jordán por parte de los israelitas debía ser milagros. "Y Josué dijo al pueblo: Santificaos, porque Jehová hará mañana maravillas entre vosotros. Y habló Josué a los sacerdotes, diciendo: Tomad el arca del pacto, y pasad delante del pueblo. Y ellos tomaron el arca del pacto y fueron delante del pueblo. Entonces Jehová dijo a Josué: Desde este día comenzaré a engrandecerte delante de los ojos de todo Israel, para que entiendan que como estuve con Moisés, así estaré contigo" (La historia de la redención, pp. 179, 180). El poderoso Dios de Israel es nuestro Dios. En él podemos confiar, y si obedecemos sus requerimientos, obrará por nosotros tan señaladamente como lo hizo por su antiguo pueblo. Todo el que procure seguir el camino del deber se verá a veces asaltado por la duda e incredulidad. El camino estará a veces tan obstruido por obstáculos aparentemente insuperables, que ello podrá descorazonar a los que cedan al desaliento; pero Dios les dice: Seguid adelante. Cumplid vuestro deber cueste lo que costare. Las dificultades de aspecto tan formidable, que llenan vuestra alma de espanto, se desvanecerán a medida que, confiando humildemente en Dios, avancéis por el sendero de la obediencia (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, p. 466).

Em meio ao caos do mundo moderno, cheio de opiniões passageiras, teorias humanas e verdades relativas, a Bíblia se apresenta como a fonte segura da verdadeira sabedoria. Nesta aula, refletimos sobre como a Palavra de Deus não é apenas um livro antigo, mas o ponto de partida para a vida sábia, sólida e enraizada na vontade do Senhor. É aqui, nas páginas da Escritura, que encontramos direção, discernimento e a revelação que nos liberta das ilusões do nosso tempo.

Our lack of knowledge about “Alchemy” is in large part what has allowed the destruction of American society, culture, and systems. It is our inability to recognize the “stages” and steps in the alchemical process that has allowed those who do, to apply the principles toward the subjugation and control of world populations. And where (more...)

Any brand can claim sustainable materials, but words mean nothing without third-party testing and certifications. In fact, unverified sustainability claims—even if they are valid—can often lead to suspicions of greenwashing. Here, Min Zhu, senior director, technical services and operations, US & Canada Softlines, of global testing and certification company SGS, and Haley Gershon, marketing manager of SGS Beta (formerly Beta Analytic), a leading Carbon-14 testing lab for biobased materials that SGS acquired in November 2024, discuss why biobased materials need verification.

Send us a textSmall nonprofits deserve BIG support. However, many fundraisers stumble while trying one to one relationships with major donors without it feeling fake, forced, or transactional. Fundraising is not sales; it is matchmaking. At the heart of every major gift is a shared why: the values and experiences that connect you, your mission, and your donors. In this episode of The Small Nonprofit Podcast, Maria Rio breaks down how small nonprofits can shift their mindset about major gifts, move past common fears, and start building authentic, lasting relationships with donors. Major Gifts for Small Nonprofits: The Highlights Fundraising Begins With Your Why Donors are not just buying into what your organization does - they are connecting with why you do it. Leading with your “why” helps you find alignment and build deeper trust. Limiting Beliefs Hold Fundraisers Back Common fears like "I don't know how to ask," "I don't know wealthy people," or "fundraising feels like begging" stop many from even trying. Naming and reframing these beliefs is the first step to moving past them. Fundraising Is Not Begging - It Is Partnership Begging means asking for something in exchange for nothing. Fundraising is offering donors a chance to live in alignment with their values and invest in the world they want to see. Lean into the psychology of fundraising. Rejection Is Not the End A no does not mean rejection of you or your cause - it simply means the timing or priority is not right for the donor. Every no gets you closer to a stronger yes. Communication Goes Beyond Words How you show up matters more than a perfect script. Your tone, presence, body language, and ability to listen all play a bigger role in building donor confidence and connection than memorized lines.

With a background as a hedge fund manager and now one of the most influential voices in artificial intelligence, Imad is here to break down why he believes the global economy as we know it is on the verge of obsolescence. Drawing insights from his book "The Last Economy," Imad explains how AI is fundamentally rewriting the rules of work, value, capital, and meaning. In part one, Tom and Imad set the stage by unraveling Imad's “Last Economy” thesis: Why existing economic measures like GDP are outdated; why the next major economic disruption isn't just about automation, but about a full intelligence inversion powered by AI; and how his innovative "MIND" framework (Material, Intelligence, Network, Diversity) helps diagnose both progress and peril in this changing world. From practical economic mathematics to the looming negative value of human labor, this conversation delivers a sobering look at the shockwaves AI is about to send through society—and the critical need to redefine how we measure flourishing and prosperity.
