Today's episode reminds us that God is the business of grand reversals. For Joseph, that meant prison one day, Pharaoh's palace the next. I can't imagine Joseph saw that big moment coming, but he was ready for it because he saw a big God.

If you're the type of person who listens to podcasts while you sit in traffic or stand in lines, today's topic has a touch of irony—waiting. No one's favorite activity. Especially when we're waiting for deliverance from a painful circumstance. But may I remind you of the promise found in Isaiah 40:31 – “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.”

คอลัมน์ “สดแต่เช้า”ปีที่5 (ตอนที่50) ความอ่อนสุภาพที่ใครๆก็ต้องการ! “จงให้ความอ่อนสุภาพของท่านทั้งหลายประจักษ์แก่ทุกคน องค์พระผู้เป็นเจ้าทรงอยู่ใกล้แล้ว”‭‭ ~ฟีลิปปี‬ ‭4‬:‭5‬ ‭THSV11‬‬ “Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.”‭‭ ~Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬ มีคำกล่าวไว้ว่า “ ไม่มีอะไรเข้มแข็งเท่ากับความอ่อนสุภาพ และไม่มีอะไรที่จะสุภาพอ่อนโยนได้เท่ากับความเข้มแข็ง!” ( Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.) ~Saint Francis de Sales คำว่า “ ความอ่อนสุภาพ”(gentleness) หมายถึง ”จิตที่อดกลั้น และ ไม่แก้แค้น“เป็น”คุณภาพภายใน ที่มีความสุขยินดีได้ในสถานการณ์ต่างๆ ซึ่งปกติจะมองไม่เห็น แต่จะปรากฏชัดในยามที่เราตอบสนองต่อการกระทำของผู้อื่น“ และนี่เป็นการปฏิบัติต่อผู้อื่นแบบที่พระเยซูคริสต์ปฏิบัติ(2โครินธ์10:1) ความอ่อนสุภาพ หรือ ความสุภาพอ่อนโยน จึงเป็นคุณสมบัติจำเป็นของผู้นำคริสตจักรและองค์กรที่ไม่นิยมใช้ความรุนแรงในการปฏิบัติต่อกัน หรือในการแก้ปัญหาระหว่างกันแต่จะเลือกการผ่อนหนักผ่อนเบาต่อกัน ไม่ทะเลาะ และไม่ว่าร้ายต่อกันแต่มีความเห็นอกเห็นใจต่อกันและกันอยู่เสมอ “อย่าว่าร้ายใคร อย่าทะเลาะวิวาท แต่ให้ผ่อนหนักผ่อนเบา และแสดงความสุภาพอ่อนโยนอย่างยิ่งต่อทุกคน”‭‭ ~ทิตัส‬ ‭3‬:‭2‬ ‭THSV11‬‬,ปท.1ทธ.3:3 อาจารย์เปาโลก็ย้ำเตือนให้เราแสดงความสุภาพอ่อนโยนในการประพฤติปฏิบัติต่อกันเสมอในทุกโอกาส อาทิ ความเมตตากรุณา ความอดกลั้นอดทน และกระทำคุณให้แก่พวกเขา แบบไร้อัตตา ที่คนรอบข้างล้วนสามารถประจักษ์เป็นพยาน ดังนั้น เราสามารถเลือกที่จะเป็นคนสุภาพอ่อนโยนได้ ไม่ว่าภูมิหลังลักษณะนิสัยเดิมของเราจะเป็นอย่างไร หากว่า เวลานี้ เรากลับใจจากบาปและละทิ้งนิสัยเดิม เชื่อวางใจในพระเยซูคริสต์ รับความรอดและการเปลี่ยนแปลงใหม่ โดยพระวิญญาณบริสุทธิ์ เพราะว่า ผลหนึ่งของพระวิญบริสุทธิ์ ที่ประทานให้แก่เรา คือ ความสุภาพอ่อนโยน “ส่วนผลของพระวิญญาณนั้น คือความรัก ความยินดี สันติสุข ความอดทน ความกรุณา ความดี ความซื่อสัตย์ ความสุภาพอ่อนโยน การรู้จักบังคับตน เรื่องอย่างนี้ไม่มีธรรมบัญญัติห้ามไว้เลย”‭‭ ~กาลาเทีย‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭THSV11‬‬ เราจึงสมควรเลือกทำ อย่างที่ แม๊กซ์ ลูคาโด กล่าวว่า “ผมเลือก ความสุภาพอ่อนโยน… ไม่มีชัยชนะ ที่ได้มาโดยการใช้กำลังบีบบังคับ ผมเลือกที่จะสุภาพอ่อนโยน ถ้าผมจะขึ้นเสียงให้ดังขึ้น ผมก็จะทำเมื่อสรรเสริญเท่านั้น ถ้าผมจะกำมือเป็นกำปั้น ผมก็จะทำเฉพาะในยามอธิษฐาน ถ้าผมจะเรียกร้องอะไร ผมก็จะทำกับตัวผมเองเท่านั้น!” (I choose gentleness... Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.) ~Max Lucado พี่น้องที่รัก จากนี้เป็นต้นไป ไม่ว่า ใครจะพูด จะเขียน จะโพสต์ หรือ จะทำอะไร ก็ตามโดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่ง ในสิ่งที่เขาปฏิบัติต่อเรา และทำให้เราไม่พอใจ เป็นอย่างยิ่ง ก็ขอให้เราจะเลือกตอบสนองด้วยความอ่อนสุภาพ ที่มาจากพระวิญญาณบริสุทธิ์ เท่านั้น (โดยปลอดอาการของเนื้อหนังใดๆสอดไส้ไปด้วย) …จะดีไหมครับ?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ธงชัย ประดับชนานุรัตน์20พฤษภาคม2025 (ตอน50 ของปีที่5)#YoutubeCJCONNECT#คริสตจักรแห่งความรัก #Churchoflove #ShareTheLoveForward #ChurchOfJoy #คริสตจักรแห่งความสุข #NimitmaiChristianChurch #คริสตจักรนิมิตใหม่ #ฮักกัยประเทศไทย #อัลฟ่า #หนึ่งล้านความดี#Spotifyสดแต่เช้า

It's Friday, April 25th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslims have killed 170 Christians during Lent and Easter Nigerian Muslims killed 170 Christians during the Lenten season and on Easter Sunday in Nigeria's Middle Belt region, reports International Christian Concern. In Benue State, 72 Christians were confirmed dead following a series of deadly attacks by suspected Fulani Muslim militants between April 18 and April 20. They struck multiple villages in Ukum and Logo Counties during the Holy Weekend, turning what should have been a time of solemn reflection and worship into a scene of terror. Governor Hyacinth Alia, who visited the affected areas, described the massacre as “a calculated and strategic attack on innocent Christian farmers.” He also said, “These were peaceful people observing their Holy Weekend.  The scale and timing of the violence is heartbreaking. We cannot continue like this.” Please pray Amos 5:24 -- that “God's justice would roll on like a river.” Massive Russian strike on Ukraine's capital On Thursday night, Russia attacked Kyiv, Ukraine with an hours-long barrage of missiles and drones, killing at least eight people and injuring more than 70 in its deadliest assault on the Ukrainian capital since last July, reports CBS News. The Ukrainian Air Force said Russia fired 66 ballistic and cruise missiles, four plane-launched air-to-surface missiles, and 145 Shahed and decoy drones at Kyiv and four other regions of Ukraine. On Truth Social, President Donald Trump wrote, "I am not happy with the Russian strikes on Kyiv. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5,000 soldiers a week are dying. Let's get the Peace Deal DONE!" TRUMP: “We're putting a lot of pressure on Russia, and Russia knows that, and some people that are close to it know or he wouldn't be talking right now.” In response to Russia's aggressive strikes in Western Ukraine, NATO has heightened its alert level, placing fighter jets in the "highest state of readiness," reports The Express. Former Brazilian president in ICU Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's health condition has worsened following bowel surgery nearly two weeks ago, his doctors said Thursday, reports MSN.com. The medical team said the former president “experienced a clinical decline, elevated blood pressure and worsening liver lab test results." Bolsonaro underwent a 12-hour surgery on April 13 to remove intestinal adhesions and reconstruct the abdominal wall after the assassination attempt by stabbing in the abdomen during a campaign rally in September 2018. Democrat Senator Dick Durbin, a pro-abort, will not seek re-election Democrat Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois made an announcement on Wednesday, DURBIN: “There comes a point in your career when the torch must be passed, and I've reached that point. I will not be seeking re election to this United States Senate seat.” To his shame, Senator Durbin, age 80, has consistently voted to eliminate or prevent protections for the unborn and for children born alive after failed abortions. In addition, Senator Durbin has voted to use hard-earned tax dollars to pay for abortion, including abortion travel expenses. And he has worked to allow radical abortion ideology to be inserted into every facet of the United States Government. Illinois July 4th parade shooter sentenced to life in prison On Thursday, Robert Crimo III, the gunman who killed seven people and injured dozens in a mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, during a July 4th parade in 2022, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, reports ABC News. Judge Victoria Rossetti sentenced Crimo, age 24, to seven consecutive life sentences along with 50 years in prison for each person injured, Judge Rosetti said, "This court hopes this sentence brings a sense of justice and an end to the continued horror." However, the judge ignored God's just standard articulated in Genesis 9:6 which says, “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God has God made mankind." Max Lucado got a tattoo Max Lucado, the Christian bestselling writer and pastor of Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas, took to social media to announce he got a tattoo, reports MyChristianDaily.com. Located on his forearm, he chose the word “Tetelestai” which is Greek for “It is finished!” That is what Jesus uttered from the cross when He had paid our sin debt, according to John 19:30. Lucado said, “I'm celebrating the golden anniversary of God's great grace in my life. 50 years ago this spring, grace found me. My testimony is interwoven with my favorite word in the Bible. On the cross, Christ proclaimed,  in Greek, “Tetelestai!” Among the meanings of this word is, ‘paid in full'.” He added, “Not everyone likes the idea of a 70-year-old pastor getting a tattoo. That's ok. I didn't do it for people, I did it to say thank you to Jesus who paid a debt I could not pay.” However, Leviticus 19:28 says, “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.” How “In God We Trust” became American motto And finally, on April 22, 1864, the United States informally adopted the motto "In God We Trust."  Conceived during the Civil War, Union supporters wanted to emphasize their attachment to God and to boost morale. The fourth stanza of the U.S. national anthem "The Star-Spangled Banner", adopted from the 1814 poem "The Defense of Fort McHenry", contains the line: "And this be our motto—'In God is our trust.'" “In God We Trust” was officially adopted by Congress in 1956, replacing the defacto motto of “E Pluribus Unum” which is Latin for “Out of Many, One.” Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, April 25th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Hello, my friend. I hope you're doing well today. For the next few episodes, we'll be looking at the life of Joseph in the book of Genesis. He didn't have it easy—abandoned, abused, wrongfully imprisoned. Perhaps you can relate to some of what Joseph faced. If so, I'm going to give you a sneak peek at the big promise of his story: with God's help, you will get through this.

The end times is often a subject of confusion and disagreement among Christians. But pastor and bestselling author Max Lucado wants us to see the Bible's teaching about the end of this world for what it is: good news. In this episode of Bible Connection, Max talks about what motivated him to explore this subject more deeply, how eschatology liberates us from our fears, and encourages us to lift our eyes to the hope we have in Jesus.  Connect with Max Max Lucado Instagram: instagram.com/maxlucado  Max Lucado Facebook: facebook.com/maxlucado  Max Lucado on X/Twitter: x.com/MaxLucado  Max Lucado's website: maxlucado.com  Grace for the Moment Daily Bible Bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado invites you to immerse yourself in grace as you spend a few moments each day in God's Word.

Hello, friend. I hope you're well today. No one is immune to the anxiety in our world. Global concerns—wars, catastrophic weather events, a worldwide pandemic still fresh in our memories. Personal concerns—mental health issues, relationship challenges, financial concerns. The bottom line is this: it's not a good time to be at odds with God. A heart right with God can survive in a world gone wrong. But when the heart is alienated from God, there is no way for life to be right. My prayer for you today is that you have a very clear answer to that question: “Am I right with God?” Watch the Ark in the Darkness HERE. Learn more about The Chosen HERE.

Scripture assures us, God does not want us to live enslaved to fear, weighed down by stress, and overpowered by personal weakness. Christ promised us joy, peace, and inexpressible freedom. He also promised to give us the power to experience each of those supernatural gifts. In this episode, prolific speaker Max Lucado shares a time when, attempting to carry his ministry in his own strength, the burden became nearly crippling and how he found fresh hope and strength through the Holy Spirit. Resource referenced: Help is Here: Finding Fresh Strength and Purpose in the Power of the Holy Spirit Discussion/Reflective Questions: What resonated with you most in today’s episode? What first comes to mind when you think of the Holy Spirit? When have you experienced increased exhaustion and/or anxiety from relying on yourself rather than surrendering to and relying on the Holy Spirit? How would you describe a Spirit-led life? How does/can living Spirit-led decrease our anxiety? How might God be calling you to share His “living water” with weary and burdened souls you encounter this week?

Hi, my friend. I hope you're doing well today. For the next few weeks on the podcast, leading up to Easter, I'll be sharing from one of my favorite verses. I've been asked what I would choose if I could only preach one topic or one passage for the rest of my life. I think this is it—John 3:16. The Hope Diamond of the Bible. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Watch the Ark in the Darkness HERE.

This week on the podcast we're looking at what is, for many people, the challenge of life. Forgiving people who have hurt us. Forgiveness is not easy but, I believe with the Lord's help, the grace we have received from God can overflow into the lives of others.Watch the Ark in the Darkness HERE.

Our topic for this episode is God's greatest gift to us, grace. I've preached a lot of sermons on grace, I've written a few books on grace, but I never get tired of talking about this gift of being made right with God through his grace. As perfectly summarized in 1 Corinthians 5:18-21, "All this is from God. Through Christ, God made peace between us and himself, and God gave us the work of telling everyone about the peace we can have with him. God was in Christ, making peace between the world and himself. In Christ, God did not hold the world guilty of its sins. And he gave us this message of peace. So we have been sent to speak for Christ. It is as if God is calling to you through us. We speak for Christ when we beg you to be at peace with God. Christ had no sin, but God made him become sin so that in Christ we could become right with God." Watch the Ark in the Darkness HERE. Find out more from Hope For The Heart Here.
