Podcasts about meditatio

Who Made Who? Today, we read an essay by the sainted Rev. Dr. John Kleinig about what makes a theologian. Dr. Kleinig explains Martin Luther's threefold description of how the master of theology, the Holy Spirit, makes one a theologian through contemplative prayer, meditating on Scripture within the communion of saints, and being translated into the kingdom of heaven by God's Word—all this and much more on this week's episode of the podcast.

Aveva ragione Giacomo Leopardi, ne La ginestra, a sottolineare la potenza consolatrice della poesia dinnanzi all'insensatezza dell'esistenza: “Or tutto intorno una ruina involve, dove tu siedi, o fior gentile, e quasi i danni altrui commiserando, al cielo di dolcissimo odor mandi un profumo, che il deserto consola”. Una forma d'arte che, apparentemente, non aveva ancora del tutto rinunciato alla propria funzione consolatrice ma che, essenzialmente, ne era già consapevole. La poesia, come la danza, è un bellissimo rimedio di fronte al dolore del lutto e all'angoscia della morte, ma è destinato a fallire. Mettiamo in luce la contraddizione che si cela dietro a questo pensiero. Chi è sofferente e cerca consolazione nelle arti (o in un altro rimedio) desidera che quello che crede possa smettere di essere ciò che è (il desiderato) e diventare ciò che non è (l'ottenuto, il non-desiderato). Il desiderare, quindi, si fonda sulla convinzione che l'esser sé dell'essente sia il diventar-altro dell'essente stesso. Il desiderare, quindi, si fonda sulla convinzione che sia possibile il diventar-altro degli essenti, che sia possibile per il mortale diventare immortale. Questa è la convinzione della volontà originaria che crede che tutte le cose del mondo divengano. Tuttavia, la filosofia testimonia l'impossibilità del divenire. È, infatti, impossibile che un essente diventi altro da sé.

Come “soglia della morte”, la porta presieduta da Giano rappresenta il simbolo del passaggio e dell'iniziazione: dal profano, al sacro; dall'ignoranza, alla conoscenza; dalla mortalità, all'immortalità; dalla dualità, all'unità; dalla temporalità, all'eternità. E, si sa, nei riti di iniziazione gli iniziati devono morire per rinascere.  La morte rappresenta l'apertura dello sguardo della verità, lo scostarsi dei veli delle apparenze e l'inizio della vita consapevole. Al cospetto di Giano, ora, facciamo assieme un'invocazione. Chiediamo che ci illumini rispetto alla domanda fondamentale che ci poniamo in questo podcast. Atterriti, dinnanzi alla morte, chiediamo: “Cos'è la morte?” Giano bifronte, divinità dell'inizio e della fine, ci risponderà che è impossibile indagare la morte a prescindere dall'inizio della vita. In verità, infatti, è impossibile morire se non siamo convinti anche di nascere.

Distogliere l'attenzione dalla morte significa distogliere l'attenzione dal senso della vita. In altre parole: la vita non può essere scissa dalla morte, così come il bene non può essere scisso dal male. Con le dovute differenze, la saggezza degli antichi testimonia che, dinnanzi alla morte, è possibile essere disinvolti come Socrate e Hoshin, lapidari come il Sileno e Solone, sofferenti e poi illuminati come Prometeo ed Epicuro. Queste testimonianze provenienti dall'antichità sono accomunate dalla domanda di senso che si pone l'umanità dinnanzi al dolore e, in particolare, dinnanzi al dolore connesso con l'inscindibile coppia morte-vita. Ponendoci questa domanda di senso, siamo invitati a cercare una risposta. Siamo, quindi, invitati a educarci rispetto al senso della morte, che è indissolubilmente legato al senso della vita.

La death education promuove percorsi di riflessione sulla morte sul morire per elaborare il lutto e la morte in modo consapevole. È un campo di studio interdisciplinare che si concentra sull'educazione e sulla sensibilizzazione riguardo alla morte, al morire e al lutto, con lo scopo di fornire agli individui una comprensione più approfondita di questi temi, aiutandoli ad affrontarli in modo più consapevole. Ciò che propongo con i miei workshop è sperimentare laboratori di death education attraverso la danza butō e il mio metodo FÜYA. Trovo suggestivo riportare la poetica e la pratica della danza butō al momento della nostra morte. Come sarebbe trascorrere il nostro “ultimo momento” con una danza? Come sarebbe fare del nostro “ultimo respiro” il volo dell'ultima foglia d'autunno? Come sarebbe disegnare con il nostro corpo quell'ultima forma insegnata dalla danza butō, facendo come se fossimo un fiore che sboccia? Come sarebbe aprire il nostro “ultimo sguardo” su questo mondo come se stessimo spalancando una finestra sull'eternità? Queste sono alcune riflessioni che propongo ai miei allievi. 

Se Tatsumi Hijikata instilla nella danza butō la stessa oscurità ascetica che abbiamo descritto citando la Tachikawaryū, Kazuo Ohno propone una pratica ascetica incentrata sul potere rigenerativo della morte. Solitamente, infatti, la morte viene intesa come una cesura nella continuità della nostra esistenza mortale, ma per la danza butō la morte può essere considerata come un momento di passaggio e di trasformazione che ci conduce a una nuova vita, per mezzo di una forma diversa. Il mio maestro Atsushi Takenouchi, allievo di Tatsumi Hijikata e Yoshito Ohno, invita i danzatori a osservare i cicli delle stagioni. L'albero, quando muore, permette la nascita di altri organismi della foresta. I suoi elementi tornano in circolo e contribuiscono all'alimentazione di altre vite. Ogni morte, quindi, contribuisce alla vita, che prosegue in un costante ciclo di morti e di rinascite che si alimentano a vicenda. In questo senso, ogni vita è in debito con le morti che la precedono, perché ne è il frutto. La danza, per questi danzatori, è una preghiera di gratitudine che si rivolge verso l'eterno ciclo dell'esistenza.

Trägst Du eigentlich eine Brille? Nein? Wahrscheinlich brauchst Du eine! Der Mensch ist durch die Erbsünde in seinem Blick auf Gott und die Welt eingeschränkt und braucht die Hilfe der Betrachtung um klare Sicht zu gewinnen. Höre jetzt gleich rein um zu erfahren was Betrachtung eigentlich ist und warum die östliche Meditation etwas ganz anderes ist als die Meditatio, die wir pflegenAufgabe der WocheVersuche jeden Tag 10 Minuten (oder mehr) zu betrachten.- - - Follow / Folgen: Telegram: https://t.me/FSSP_PodcastSpotify: https://spoti.fi/3HwDI3RYouTube: https://bit.ly/3M2WWB1Apple Podcast: https://apple.co/3PNzCdkAmazon Music: https://amzn.to/3DCFj6S

Con la stessa ambiguità per cui il veleno è sia letale che terapeutico, i riti sciamanici ricorrenti in molti popoli del mondo prevedono la meditazione del teschio: dalla meditazione kapalika (datata 7.000 anni fa), al San Girolamo che troviamo nei dipinti della nostre chiede, fino alla pervasività del teschio nell'iconografia in voga ancora oggi, testimoniata dalle magliette, dalle spille e dai tatuaggi che vediamo di continuo. Meditare di fronte al cadavere o al teschio, il memento mori, conduce all'illuminazione che brilla al fondo dell'orrore.

Oratio Meditatio Tentatio

Il rimedio contro l'angoscia della morte è cercato dall'umanità sin dalle più antiche danze attorno al fuoco. Più volte mi è capitato di danzare di fronte alla morte nel corso delle mie esperienze di danza butō. L'esperienza del lutto ha decisamente cambiato il mio rapporto con la morte e con il morire, rendendolo più vicino e vivido alla mia pelle. In particolare, la ricerca di un rimedio contro il dolore e l'angoscia della morte e del morire non era mai stata per me una necessità. La danza può attivare esperienze di meditatio mortis di primo livello, promuovendo la significazione della morte e del morire attraverso percorsi adatti ad ogni età, dalla prima infanzia alla senilità. La consapevolezza sulla morte e sul morire ci permette di affrontare con saggezza l'angoscia che ci assale di fronte alla nostra morte e al dolore che ci pervade durante un lutto. La danza, come meditatio mortis, ha anche la capacità di ripristinare un legame con il misterioso, il numinoso, il trascendente. Ma quale danza?

Delivered by Manette Maturan from Saint John Bosco Church, Archdiocese of Jakarta, Indonesia. Acts of the Apostles 13: 44-52; Rs psalm 98: 1.2-3b.3c-4; John 14: 7-14 THE GOOD SHEPHERD BRINGS US THE HEAVENLY FATHER   Our meditation today has the theme: The Good Shepherd Brings Us the Heavenly Father. Our meditation yesterday indicated the lack of understanding of the apostle Thomas on the true identity of Jesus Christ, to which Jesus resolved the problem by revealing Himself as our principal mediator to God the Father. Today, the apostle Philip, who represents many people, shows another type of  lack of understanding, that is the question on the identity of the heavenly Father.   The answer of Jesus is the most decisive, or we can even say the key answer to this problem, because it shows the purpose of all our searches and efforts of our journey on earth. Jesus reveals the existence of the heavenly Father whom He represents because the Father actually embodies in the person of Jesus. That is why, He says in this testimony: "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father." This also means that hearing Jesus is hearing the Father, living with Jesus is living with the Father. In essence, all come to know and believe that the Father exists and works in Jesus. The Father and the Son Jesus are one.   The unity of the Father and the Son takes place in a relationship of love through communication between them, and this relationship is known as the Holy Spirit itself. So the answer given to Philip and all those who seek to find the ultimate purpose of life is actually the Trinity, the true and final identity of God. There is no better or greater answer than this one. In meeting and living with the Father in Jesus Christ, and in the unity of the Holy Spirit had indeed confirmed the apostles' commitment, and they persevered it until death.   Jesus presents us the heavenly Father with the purpose of making us know the reality of God as He is. God comes to our knowledge through all works of love, kindness and compassion, while we humans are taken up by Jesus Christ to the level where we can encounter the Father. At the moment of incarnation, the Trinity was present in the Son conceived in the womb of the Virgin Mary, born and was under the care of the modest family of Nazareth. Throughout the public ministry of Jesus, the Trinity was also there to work for our redemption. At the end of our journey in the world, the Trinity in heaven welcomes us for eternal life, the best reward already awaiting us.   For us the followers of Christ, such questions from Philip and Thomas are not supposed to be our questions too. We are not in the position to question or even doubt whether Jesus and the Father are one. Our position is actually what Jesus had determined when He was still on earth. Jesus had made us His brothers and sisters, therefore, He taught us His own prayer the "Our Father" to be our basic prayer. This prayer truly makes us beloved children or sons and daughters of our most loving Father. Jesus is really our good Shepherd, because He knows what we badly need: that is to be the beloved sons and daughters of the heavenly Father. We need only to follow Jesus!   Let's pray. In the name of the Father ... O most loving Father, we praise and thank You abundantly for our being Your beloved sons and daughters by our participation in the life of Your Son Jesus Christ. May we continue to live with this status until our death. Hail Mary full of grace ... In the name of the Father ...   --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/media-la-porta/message

Today, we are going to soak into scripture through the practice of Lectio Divina—one of my favorites! Lectio Divina, which is latin for Divine Reading, is a contemplative practice that guides us in reading over a passage of four times, each with a different intent: Lectio (which is a plain Reading), Meditatio (a meditative Reading), Oratio (a prayerful Reading), and Comtemplatio (a restful Reading).

"We need to be biblically centered in our personal spiritual practices." – Steve Macchia In Season 20 we will focus on four spiritual practices: Lectio Divina, listening prayer, reflective journaling, and daily Examen.  Steve Macchia is fluent in these practices, having made them an essential part of his regular prayer closet experience as a beloved child of God. He believes firmly in the need for us to keep the Scriptures central to all aspects of our personal devotional practices.  Many of us are taught to study the biblical text in order to teach, preach, or share it with others. But, in our prayer closets we are invited to simply receive God's Word as a gift for our soul. Here we are fully present to the movement of God's Spirit, attentive and receptive to the living Word of God. The six major historical movements of Lectio Divina are presented here: Silencio, Lectio, Meditatio, Oratio, Contemplatio, and Incarnatio.   Join the conversation about spiritual discernment as a way of life at www.LeadershipTransformations.org and consider participation in our online and in-person program offerings. Additional LTI spiritual formation resources can be found at www.SpiritualFormationStore.com and www.ruleoflife.com and www.healthychurch.net.

Self-awareness, Accountability, Growth and Empowerment the acronym for SAGE. Kyle Gillette an ICF certified coach, behavioral analyst and host of SAGE Mindset podcast, creator and developer of the SAGE Leadership framework, the SAGE Mindset app and owner of Gillette Solutions, a coaching and consulting organization. He shares how SAGE came to be and how writing the book (insert name here) was a beautiful transformational journey for him. Kyle shares how as a society we have become a culture of doing rather than being, of accomplishing and achieving. "That's damaging." His belief is that self-awareness, a key component of the SAGE Mindset framework, silence, presence and attention, stoping for 10-60 second to take a few breaths is important to helping us reflect and transition between the many roles we have throughout the day. "I'm a business owners thinking partner" Kyle GilletteVisit https://SAGEMindset.com to find out more about working with Kyle and to take in his free leadership assessment.

Iker Aguirre conclut ici le 4ème et dernier épisode de la série  : "Tout Savoir Sur la Méditation".  Dans cet épisode,  il est question de répondre à une question qui ne manque pas de s'imposer, tôt ou tard, chez tout pratiquant de méditation : Méditer, est-ce risqué ?Si la réponse évidente est "non", cela ne veut pas dire pour autant que l'on peut faire n'importe quoi. Toute pratique doit être dûment cadrée pour éviter des pièges qui, parfois, peuvent avoir des conséquences fâcheuses. Cet épisode se concentrera sur les questions suivantes : Quelles personnes doivent se tourner vers un professionnel avant de pratiquer la méditation ?Quels critères prendre en compte pour choisir un bon professeur de méditation ?Quel est le piège du sensationnalisme ou de la quête de sensations fortes ?Que peut-il se passer, dans de très rares cas, si je médite très intensément ?Quelles pratiques méditatives doivent toujours être cadrées ?Qu'est-ce que la perte d'ancrage ? En quoi et dans quelles circonstances peut-elle m'affecter ?Ne ratez pas non plus les 3 épisodes antérieurs de la série qui vous permettent de faire un tour complets sur tout ce qu'il faut savoir sur la méditation, ses exercices ou méthodes, à savoir : L'épisode 5, qui vous permettait de comprendre la méditation. L'épisode 6, qui vous apprenait tout ce qu'il faut savoir sur comment méditer.L'épisode 7, qui apportait un réponse à toutes ces questions qui pourraient vous faire croire, à tort, que la méditation c'est difficile. Cette série est un voyage  autour de la méditation destiné aux débutants et à ceux et celles qui voudraient se laisser tenter ! C'est aussi un bon moyen de pour mettre toutes les chances de votre côté pour profiter au maximum de cette pratique et éveiller votre potentiel.  Vous avez là l'une des plus belles découvertes que vous ferez sur votre chemin !

Audio Transcript: Good morning. Welcome to Mosaic Church. My name is Jan. I'm one of the pastors here at Mosaic. And it's so good to worship together. If you'd like to connect with us and you're new, we'd love to connect with you. We do that through the Connection Card and the Worship Guide or in the app or online. We'd love to get connected with your information and we would like to send a little gift in the mail to say, "Thank you for coming out." With that said, would you please... Oh. One quick announcement. Next Sunday we are not meeting in person. Unfortunately. We will be meeting online. And I will be in the Facebook Live chat. I really enjoy that.And there might be a chicken wing question. Who knows. Who knows. Would you please pray with me over the preaching of God's word? Lord, we thank you for the Holy Scriptures. We thank you that the Holy Scriptures reveal so much about your character. About how gracious you are. About how loving you are. How pure you are. How holy you are. And we thank you that through the Holy Scriptures we get to meet the hero of the Scriptures, your son Jesus Christ. Jesus, we thank you for living the life that each one of us was intended. A purpose to live. And for dying the death that we deserve to die for our law breaking. We thank you Holy Spirit that you are with us. And Holy Spirit I pray you continue to tune our hearts to the voice of God. Let us hear the proclamation of your glory that creation preaches and declares.Let us hear your holy voice that directs us and guides us to live lives that glorify you most. Continue building your church here, Jesus. You are a great builder, and you get all the glory. Thank you for leading us here, and I pray prepare our hearts now. Remove any doubt, anxiety, stress, worries and let us hear from you. I pray this in Jesus name, amen.We're continuing our sermon series through the Psalms. We're calling them Balm Psalms. Balm in terms of it's balm for your soul. It's medicine. It's ointment. It's anointing for your soul and hopefully in your time with the Lord, in your devotions, you're spending time in the psalms. Today, we're in Psalm 19. Junior year in college I had a season of doubt. I looked around at my fellow students, at my professors and no one believed in God. Very few believed in God. Almost statistically insignificant. And then I had this one professor. He was there for just a year from the University of Moscow. And he was a believer. He was a Russian Orthodox believer, but he loved the Lord and he loves the Scriptures.And I asked him, I said, "Why do you believe? No one else around us believes. Why do you believe?" And he quoted Emmanuel Kant and this is the quote that he gave me, "Kant said this in the Critique of Practical Reason, he said, 'Two things fill my mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe. The more often and steadily we reflect upon them. The starry heavens above me, and the moral law within me. I do not seek or conjecture either of them as if they were veiled obscurities or extravagances. Beyond the horizon, my vision, I see them before me and connect them immediately with the consciousness of my existence.'" And Kant was actually buried in Russia and this is his tombstone and it's the quote on top, it's in German and at the bottom it's in Russian.It talks about the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me. That's why I believe in God. Can we know that God exists? Of course we can. Even to ask that question from the perspective of Scripture is folly. Scripture says, "Yes, of course God exists. Look around. The greatest miracle in the history of miracles is creation itself. It's creation ex nihilo. Creation from nothing. Everything from nothing. God speaks. It's there." And today we're looking at Psalm 19 where it says that, "Creation speaks. It declares. It proclaims that God created everything. And it declares and it communicates something about God because God is a communicating God." Can we know who God is from creation? We can know some aspect of Him that He's all powerful. That He's beautiful. That He's an architect. That He's a designer. That He's a creator.But the other aspects of His character are veiled. Creation can't give us those, and that's why we need the other book that God gives us which is Holy Scripture. Got is Elohim, great creator, almighty God. He's also Yahweh, a conventional God who loves us. So God's written two excellent books published for our instruction edification. The first book is creation. Its natural revelation shows that God is a genius of a God. The second book shows us the will of God. That He created us for a purpose and that we are to obey His will. That He is sovereign over every single person. Not just over Christians. He is God over all.And today as we enter into the incredible Psalm that Psalm 19 is, a great writer C.S. Lewis said, "This is the greatest writing he's ever read in his life." The greatest lyricism. One of the finest poems in the world", he says, in his reflections on the Psalms. Today we're going to look at glory of God in all of creation in the Scriptures. And in God's recreation which is Christians. So would you look at psalm 19 with me? Psalm 19, "The heavens declare the glory of God. And the sky above proclaims His handiwork. Day to day pours out speech and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor are there words whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them, He has set a tent for the sun which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and like a strongman runs its course with joy. Its rising is from the end of the heavens and its circuit to the end of them.And there is nothing hidden from His heat. The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure of making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right. Rejoicing the heart. The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever. The rules of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold even much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover by them as your servant warned in keeping them there is great reward. Who can discern His errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults.Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless and innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, oh Lord, my rock and my redeemer." This is the reading of God's holy and infallible authoritative word. May you write these eternal truths on our hearts. Three points. We'll look at God's glory in the cosmos. We'll look at God's glory in the Scriptures. And we'll look at God's glory in the Christian. So the first point is God's revelation or God's glory in the cosmos. By cosmos I mean all of creation. Everything that is and it begins with Psalm 19: 1 and 2. "The heavens declare the glory of God." It's as if everything around us is a sermon. It's a preacher declaring the truth that God is and the sky above proclaims His handiwork day to day pours out speech and night to night reveals knowledge. By heavens, He's talking about the sky. He's talking about the galaxy. He's talking about the universe. The cosmos.And e talked about this a little last week, that we are to meditate on the nature around us. It is created for us to be wow by, to have awe. To be in awe. Which is one of the greatest places to be. Little children ... this is why children are so happy. Children find awe in everything. I was just admiring my daughter, Milana. She had a little bottle of water. She's wowed by it. Because she doesn't see little bottles of water on a daily basis. She sees bigger bottles. And she loves it. It fits her hand so perfectly. She's wowed by it. It's such a happy place to be. Such a joyful place to be. And I think as we grow older, we get desensitized to the awesome nature, the world that we live in. It speaks. There's mystery. There's splendor. There's order.And the galaxies of the cosmos, they're loud. They're direct. People often say, "I've never heard the voice of God. I don't believe in God. I've never heard the voice of God." Well, God doesn't often speak audibly. He speaks louder than audibly. He doesn't just speak to our ears, He speaks to all of our senses if we are willing to receive the message.The heavens aren't just glorious. They declare. They proclaim. It says, "Days pour our speech. Nights reveal knowledge." It's like there's two choirs. The choir of the day, and the choir of the night, and they're singing together in beautiful harmony. They utter forth. That's like the speech bubbles forth. From the very beginning, the Psalm is what He assumes is there's no pretext for disbelief. There's no justification for it. You can't live in physical reality and just believe that it just happened.That's not just disbelief, that's willful disbelief. Reality in a created order demands that we acknowledge the creator. And we aren't just to acknowledge. We are to adore like creation does. It declares. It proclaims that he's glorious. Psalm 19:3, "There is no speech nor are there words whose voice is not heard." So it's not audible. It's not distinct words, but it's real. It's not precise, but it's still an eloquence. It's a wordless word. You ever hear people around you speaking in a different language? The thing I always think when I hear a different language around me, it's like two people speaking different language, they're totally talking about me. And as a bilingual speaker, if you hear me speaking Russian in front of you, I'm totally talking about you. 100%.Why would I speak in English? I'm going to speak in Russian to just ... Right? And it's as if nature speaks a different language. We know it's there. We need someone to decipher that ... what is nature saying? What is it speaking? Psalm 19:4, "The voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world." And the assumption here is everybody hears. Everybody hears. The question is, what do you want to do with that testimony? And the New Testament sheds light on this, that there is wrath from God when people willfully tune down the volume of God's creation. Romans 1:18 and 20, "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who by their unrighteousness, suppress the truth. For what can be known by God is plain to them because God has shown it to them for His invisible attributes, namely His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly perceived ever since the creation of the world and the things that have been made so they are without excuse."Saying the reason why people reject that there is a creator behind the creation is not that there is not enough evidence, it's because there's a suppression of truth. I don't like this truth. Therefore this truth isn't true to me. God says, "No. No. You can't do that. There is no excuse." Romans 10:18, "But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for their voice has gone out to all of the earth and their words to the end of the world." He quotes this psalm. So meaning that nature exists. We exist not just for natural order. There's not just a natural end to our existence. There's a moral end that we exist just like all of nature exists to declare that God is glorious.It's important not just that it is, but what it says, and nature is a form of language and it's speaking about God and the heavens are a sign and every sign about God is a vehicle of ideas about God. So the fact of nature reveals the fact of God. The being of God. The vastness of nature shows that He is immense. The uniformity of nature declares His unity. There's an order in the godhead. The regularity of nature discloses His unchangeableness. He does not change. He's immutable. The variety of nature manifests His exhaustlessness. The adaptations of nature unveil His wisdom and the happiness of nature declares His wisdom. His goodness. That God is a good god.One of my favorite things in the world is to watch animal videos. There were the cat videos that were ... and then there were little puppy videos that go viral, and then there's goat videos. Videos of little goats. And they are like the happiest beings ever. Sophia, my oldest daughter, started dreaming about having a farm and she's like, "I just want some goats." And I said, "Who's going to care for the goats?" She talking about hiring someone. Good for you. There's a happiness in creation. It shows us that God is a happy God. He's a good god. And nature is telling us to think about God. And as we contemplate nature, we have to contemplate God. And it's not His only revelation, obviously. But it's a great and beautiful revelation and God's testimony is both of His work and His work is a testimony about His goodness. And it's plainly discoverable. The more you study, many of you are in fields where you study God's creation on a daily basis. You could probably preach this part of the sermon significantly better than I can.It's everywhere. Charles Misner was a physicist who was friends with Einstein and he said this, he said, "The design of the universe is very magnificent and should not be taken for granted. In fact, I believe that is why Einstein had so little use for organized religions. Although, he struck me as basically a very religious man. Einstein might have looked at what the preacher said about God, and felt that they were blasphemy. He had seen more majesty than he had ever imagined in the creation of the universe and felt that the God they were talking about couldn't have been the real thing. My guess is that he simply felt that the churches he had run across did not have proper respect for the author of the universe."What a quote. The author of the universe. It's as if we're daily reading a book and saying, "There is no author." Psalm 19:4b through 6, "In them, He has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber. And like a strongman runs his course with joy. It's rising is from the end of the heavens and its circuit to the end of them. And there is nothing hidden from its heat." So this part of the sermon, He crescendos with the son. He said, "The sun on a daily basis proclaims. It's a witness to God's glory." And he personifies the sun here. He says, "The sun is like a bridegroom." It's like a groom. It's like a groom on his wedding day.If you're married and you were a groom for your husband and you were a groom at one point, you know exactly what this feels like. That morning, you're about to get married. I remember the day, the night before I got married, I couldn't sleep. I slept like three hours. I was just so excited. And thinking through all the details and still mad that I invited my barber who was supposed to cut my hair the evening before, and my barber comes to my wedding, he forgot his scissors. He forgot all of his tools. And that's the only reason I invited you, Joe. So I'm thinking about that and I was like, "Well, it's okay. We'll use a little gel and a little pomade and we'll figure this out." That's what I'm thinking.Then you wake up and I remember with my boys, we went to Dunkin' Donuts, and I still remember the egg, ham and cheese on an everything bagel. I still remember. The extra large coffee. Cream and sugar. I still remember all of that. And then you get ready. The tuxedo. The excitement. He said, "The sun is like that." There's an exuberance that every day is a gift. It's a gift to be alive. There's a joy. There's an eager anticipation. There's a brilliance. There's a radiance. And it moves through the sky, He said, "Like a strongman." Like a world class runner. Where it just seems so easy for them. Right? You ever watch the Olympics, you're like, "Yeah. I could do that. That's so easy." Someone once said like, "Every Olympic event should have just one regular person. Just for like so we know how good is Michael Phelps. Just throw in the commenter. The guy who was saying that Phelps is slow." Throw in that guy.And He's like this is what the sun's like. It's like an athlete. He makes it look so easy. Unaffected by how difficult it is. And it provides continual undeniable proof of the greatness of God. However nature has fallen, it's great and it's good, but it's fallen. So we can know a lot about God but the fallenness of creation gives us doubts. Is God good when there are earthquakes and forest fires and tsunamis and tornadoes? Is God good in those moments? And that's why we need more than just general revelation. We also need special revelation. We have natural revelation. We also need supernatural revelation to show us just how great God is. And this is the second point that God's glory in the Scriptures, God is not silent. He has spoken and He expresses Himself in two books, in nature and the Scriptures.And He comes and tells us that the Scriptures are from Him through Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ came. He believed that the Old Testament was God's word. He spoke more of God's word, and then sends the Holy Spirit to speak even more of God's word through the church. And Saint Peter, Peter the main apostle of Jesus Christ, the main disciple, he saw the glory of Christ. He saw the transfigured Christ where Jesus Christ unveiled His glory. Removed just a little bit so Peter, James, John, they saw the glory of Christ.And this is what Peter writes about that in connection to the Holy Scripture. 2 Peter 1:16, "For we do not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For when He received honor and glory from God, the Father. And the voice was borne to Him by the majestic glory. This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased. We ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with Him on the holy mountain. And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place. Until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, knowing this first of all that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation for no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man.But men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." This is one of the most mind blowing text in all of Scripture. He said, "We saw the glory of God in Jesus Christ and we have something", not just equal in revelation. We have something even more glorious in revelation. And he's talking about the Holy Scriptures. He's talking about the miracle of the Holy Scriptures, and this is what the Psalmist talks about starting verse seven. He talks about the law of the Lord. It's perfect. Reviving of the soul. And here, I love getting into all the details about the lyrics and just the wordplay. One of the things I just want to point out is, he gives us 12 qualities here about the law of God. And you can study them on your own. He gives us six nouns, six adjectives and six verbs about the beauty of it. So you see how it's all planned.He's talking about the law and when we think of law, we think of just God's commandments, but it's more than that. It's the word Torah, or Torah, which is the God's teaching. It's God's wisdom. God's instruction. So for us, the Torah, for us God's instruction is more than just the Psalm. More than just the Ten Commandments. More than just the Old Testament. It's all of the Holy Scriptures. All 66 books. And if you study the Holy Scriptures, you really do see it's a miracle of God. If you go outside today, if you go up to 40 people, and you say, "Tell me what God is like from your perspective", you won't have 40 perspectives. You'll probably have 400 perspectives.Because every single person probably has 100 opinions on God and they're all contradictory. They will not be in unison. And the Holy Scriptures written over 1,600 years. Over 40 authors. In three different languages. Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. Written on three continents. You're talking about people who were tent makers, physicians, shepherds, farmers, fishermen, priests, philosophers, kings, and they're all singing in harmony. They're all speaking about the same glorious God. They're all speaking about the Holy Trinity with Jesus Christ at the center of this one theme. God created everything that humanity rebelled against God. That God sends a redeemer to die in our place. And that God does redeem and that God does transform people by the power of His Holy Spirit through the Holy Scriptures. And the Holy Scriptures have transformed billions of people. Lives are transformed. When people read this book and submit to the teachings of the God of this book, it transforms people. It transforms men. It transforms women. It transforms families. It transforms communities, nations. It transforms everything.And he says, "The law of the Lord, it's perfect. It's whole. It's complete. It's lacking defect of any kind. And it revives the soul." And the beauty of this text is he says, "The law of the Lord", he changes from El, Elohim, to Yahweh. That God gives this law because He's a loving God. And he gives us this law, this teaching, to show us how our souls can be revived. And the assumption for revive for this word is that something is wrong. That our souls are languishing. That there's a lack of energy. There's a lack of vibrance. There's a lack of life and our souls need to be refreshed and restored and reinvigorated. They need to be renewed. And the Holy Scriptures do this. If you're a Christian and you devote yourself as a discipline to studying the Scriptures, loving the Scriptures, you know exactly what I'm talking about.You wake up and it's as if you died a little in the inside. That's the only way I can really describe it. There's like a spiritual amnesia that happens where you forget that everything that happened before in terms of God, you wake up and it's as if everything God did, all of the revelations you got, it's as if blank slate and you need the soul to be revived again. And that's what God's word does. The second part of verse seven is, "The testimony of the Lord is sure making wise the simple." It's sure. The testimony is God's own witness about who He is, what He requires. That's what the law is. And it's sure. It's verifiable. It's trustworthy. It's dependable. And there's a prophet. The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simply. Assumption here, apart from God's law, there is no wisdom.And wisdom is very different from knowledge. You can get lots of knowledge about how the world works, but without wisdom which is why the world works the way it is, that's what wisdom is. It's being able to take truths about God and those truths now have purpose. And now you know how to take that knowledge and apply it. Wisdom is thinking the thoughts of God. It's seeing life as God sees life. And it's acting accordingly. Some of the most educated people in the world, if they don't know God, if they don't know why everything exists, if they don't submit themselves to God, Scripture calls that folly. That you can be getting incredible education, but without wisdom, without why are we here, who's behind me being here, what is my purpose in life, you're missing it.So my girls are back in school. Praise God. The youngest. The two youngest go to school now. Milana goes to pre-kindergarten at age three. And that, I feel so good about that. Praise God. The two oldest is still online, but the two youngest are out of the house for at least a few hours of the day. One of the things, as I grow older, like I've read the wisdom part. But as I grow older, I begin to realize a lot of what they teach in school is just folly. Like teach my kids math and two plus two is four. There's no debate on that. Teach my kids math. Teach them how to write. But as far as the content, apart from God and God's wisdom, you remove that from the classroom, and there's a lot of folly being taught. And we need to understand that we need wisdom on a daily basis. We need wisdom about how the world is. How the world works. And the wisdom is this is ... God says, "This is who you are. And here is the design book. Here is the design user manual."You need God's law. Psalm 19:8, "The precept of the Lord are right. Rejoicing the heart." Precepts are right and they rejoice the heart. What are precepts? They're rules. They're regulations. This is how you work, and I want to give you this manual so that you know how to have moral satisfaction. That's what the joy is. To gladden the heart with moral satisfaction. The law isn't given to us by God to restrict us from good. It's given to us to restrict us from evil. You ever meet a child that grew up with zero restrictions? You ever meet a kid like that? And for some reason it's always at the grocery store or at the airport. That's where you meet those kids. I don't know why it is, but it's true. Next time you fly, you'll see those kids.And probably that kid is sitting right next to you on the plane. We know. We know that children need a framework. They need to be told no. We know this. Why in the world would we think that if God has children, He would not tell them no? God does tell us no. He tells us no all the time to give us a better yes. He actually wants us to get to the point where wee tell ourselves no. That's self-control. Self-discipline. And say, "Yes" to the great things of life. That's what parenting is. And that's what the Holy Scriptures are. God is saying, "This is my word to you as my children. I want the best for you." The law is designed to lead us in the way of life, peace, blessing. And that's why His law is very specific about very nitty-gritty everyday things. Here's my law regarding work. He's my law regarding finances. Here's my law regarding desire. All kinds of desire. Here's my law regarding love. Here's my law regarding how you structure your life. And it leads to rejoicing of the heart. Sin steals joy. Holiness replaces it.Holiness fills our heart with incredible joy. Psalm 19:8, "The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes." The commandment of the Lord enlightens the eyes. It's pure in the sense that there is no sin, malice corrupting influence. There's no darkness in God's law. And it does enlighten the eyes. In terms of it reveals what life is like. It reveals the path forward. It enlightens your eyes. It clears your vision. It's like when you wake up. You always got to wash your eyes. There's all kinds of gunk in there. And for me, I don't really see everything until I put on my glasses. Everything is blurry right now. The first two years I would preach without glasses because I was like, "I don't need to see people's reactions." It would just ... I don't need to see people falling asleep. I don't need that.This is what God's law is. It fixes your eyes. You begin to see what is good. And you begin to see what is evil. And on top of that, and this is as you grow in the faith, you don't just see good. You begin to love good. You begin to be drawn to the good. You don't just see evil. You begin to hate evil. The part of loving God is also hating evil. All the evil within, all the evil without. And part of loving God is also loving the things that God loves and God loves the world and God loves people. And God's law does this to the sight of our hearts. The eyes of our hearts. Psalm 19:9, "The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever. The rules of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." The fear of the lord, it's clean.Again, there's a parallel with the previous verses. Clean is pure, meaning the fear of God is what cleanses us. The fear of God is what keeps us close to Him. And I believe that a lot of Christians don't really grow in their faith because they don't have a theology of fearing God. If God is the God who created everything that there is, if God is who Scripture says that God is, why would we not fear Him? And I'm not talking about a fear that pushes us away from Him. I'm talking about a fear that pushes us away from anything that would pull us away from God. There's a difference. Fearing God is you love Him so much. You want to do everything you can to bring delight to His heart instead of disappointment. And that's what fear is. He's so great. He's so incredible that when you love Him, you fear anything that will pull you away from Him because that's what brings disappointment to His heart. How is your fear of ... Do you fear God?Do you fear God? And the greater ... I don't know ... You kind of experience this when you meet someone famous. If you've ever met someone who is in power. If you ... I remember one time I shook Bill Clinton's hand and I was in college, one time. And I remember just like people were in awe of the president. People were in awe of this person in a position of power. There's something ... there is like a trepidation that happens. Well, how about the God who created that guy? How about the God who created everything? And a very healthy love for God always comes with fear. Fear of God that's pure and it's enduring forever. The rules of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. Psalm 19:10, "More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold. Sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb." He's saying that the law of God, the word of God, it's treasure. Many of us we don't really understand Scripture because we read Scripture like we read a law book or like a history book. He says, "No, no, no. This is the way you got to read Scripture. Like a treasure map."Like this map is given you, and you, if you study this map attentively, you will find much treasure. More treasure than fine gold. And He says, "It's sweeter than honey and drippings of the honeycomb." My community group knows this and the staff at Mosaic knows this. Whenever we have Scripture and we study Scripture, I start to salivate. Like it's so delicious. There's so much goodness in God's word as you dig into really what's going on. Paying attention to every single word. And he said, "It's like honey." The thing about honey, if you've ever met anyone that is a beekeeper that makes honey, Tanya's dad is a beekeeper in Philadelphia. He used to do this in Ukraine and then he went to a monastery that has huge fields. He walked up to the door and said, "Hello. I'm going to bring my bees here. Is that okay?" And they said, "What are you talking about?"He's like, "Here's some honey. It's a foretaste of the honey I keep bringing you." And they said, "Okay." So he's got these little beehives. He's got little boxes. And he shows us what he does and it's so much work to care for them and to create a space for them to live and to make sure they don't get sick, but it's so worth it. And that's what He says. That's what Scripture is. It takes time to mine for treasures. It takes time to make the honey. But it's so worth it. A few things here about how to study Scripture. My favorite view of how to study Scripture comes from the monastic movement where they would study. That's what they did as a full-time job.And they talk about the five movements of studying Scripture. Because a lot of people think of Scripture of like I need to study the Greek, I need to study the Hebrew, I need to really understand what's going on, and it's a very mechanical understanding of Scripture. But the goal of Scripture is to have a relationship with the Lord. To spend time with the Lord, for Him to satisfy your soul and give you power for the day.The five movements are silencio, lectio, meditatio, oratio and contemplatio. The first one is silencio where you're quiet before the Lord. You sit down with Scriptures. Quiet before Him. And you start praying. You start a conversation with the Lord. You ask for the Lord to fill you. You enter into God's presence. You slow down. You intentionally release the chaos of what's inside and the noise in your mind. And then lectio is you begin to read the word slowly. Paying attention to every single word, lingering over the words, studying the context. Studying how the words work together in the sentence. How the sentence works together in the paragraph, et cetera. When a word catches your attention, stop. Pause. Because at different readings, God speaks differently. Yes, it always means what it meant and the context is the same. But sometimes... and this is why I always say in my community group, "What hit you in a fresh way? What stood out to you in particular as you're reading this text?"Stop and attend to what God is saying. Meditatio, read the Scriptures a second time out loud. Savor the words. Listen for an invitation from the ... and there's something about reading it out loud. Speaking the words of God into the space. Oratio is you respond. Lord, what did you teach me here? How do I need to change? How do I need to repent? Where in my life am I not submitting to your word? And you enter into a personal dialogue with the Lord. And then contemplatio is contemplate. The rest of the day, contemplate. What did the Lord say and what is He continuing to say, yield and surrender to the Lord. Psalm 19:11, "Moreover, by them your servant is warned, in keeping them there is great reward." And from the warning, he transitions to prayer and repentance. And he allows God to warn Him and as God warns him, he turns to the Lord in repentance. And this is point three. The glory of the Lord in the Christian.And by Christian, I mean a person who has represented of their sins and trusted in Jesus Christ. Psalm 19:12, "Who can discern his errors, declare me innocent from hidden faults. Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless and innocent of great transgression." He asked God. He said, "God, I have hidden faults." What does hidden faults mean? It's sins that you don't see how sinful they are. It's when you see the world around you living a certain way and then you say, "Why can't I live like that?" And you come to the Lord and you say, "Lord, reveal the sinfulness of sin." That's what he's talking about. That's the hiddenness. And then the presumptuous sins, when you allow hidden sins to remain in your life, they become presumptuous sins. And by presumptions sins, there's a defiance.No, I will not submit to the Lord. Or, and I see this in a lot of Christians, you presume on God's grace. Yes, this is a sin. But God will forgive me. God understands. And that lack of fear keeps you in the presumptuous sin which has dominion over you. So he says, "God, forgive me. Reveal the sinfulness of sin and release me from the dominion of it." Psalm 19:14, "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight. Oh Lord, my rock and my redeemer."I love how he brings the word redeemer in here, and I love how in the temple we have a Bible verse. I know that my redeemer lives. It's from the book of Job. Why in the Old Testament are we using the word redeemer? And if you remember in the Book of Ruth, we talked about this. That Boaz was the redeemer. The redeemer of this idea was this is a person who will come and pay for your debts. This is a person who will come and free you from the dominion of another owner. And he says, "God, you, Yahweh, you're my redeemer. Redeem me."And ultimately, it was Jesus Christ who dies on a cross for our sins. He said, "No. You humanity, you", every single one of us, we have not kept God's law. We have actually contradicted. Transgressed God's law. We were enslaved to the presumptuous sins of our hearts. Jesus Christ comes. Lives a perfect life. A life of embodying the law. A life of perfection. Purity. Holiness. And then gives Himself as a sacrifice for us, for our sins. And this is why I love these verses in the Psalms, because he's talking. This is how you become a Christian. You repent. You ask for forgiveness. You turn away from sin. You turn back to the Lord who is our rock. And He is our redeemer. 1 Peter 1:10 through 12, "Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully. Inquiring what person or time the spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and subsequent glories. It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you.And the things that have now been announced to you through those who preach the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven." Things into which angels long to look. In the same way that we stare at the sun or we stare at creation. Don't stare at the sun. In the same way that we are blessed by looking at creation. Angels stare into the gospel, because they can't believe what God did to recreate humanity. Meaning that every single Christian is a miracle. In the same way that creation reflects the glory of God, it's a miracle. In the same way that Holy Scriptures are a miracle. Every single Christian is a miracle of God because it took that. It took God's word, spoken into your heart in order to regenerate you. So God is glorified in the cosmos, in the Scriptures, and in the Christian.In conclusion, what do you think of when you think of the good life? What do you think of when you think of the good life? Do you think of fast cars, vacations, big houses, et cetera? This is what God wants. This is was God says that leads to ultimate satisfaction. What is the chief end of man? This is the Westminster catechism. What is the chief end, chief and highest end of man? The answer, man's chief and highest end is to glorify God and fully enjoy Him forever. Enjoy God. Enjoy His creation. Enjoy His Holy Scriptures, and enjoy the fellowship that God gives us with His children. Let's pray.God, what a great word that you have given us from Psalm 19. I pray that you make us a people who do enjoy you. Who seek to enjoy you on a daily basis. That you are so much better and so much satisfying than anything else. And we thank you for Jesus who reconciles us with you, and we thank you for the Holy Spirit who is with us. And we pray this in Christ's name, amen.

Hello There!Welcome to the Being podcast!  The Being podcast is a spiritual meditation podcast to give you a moment in the week to breathe, rest, and just... be.  There's a quote that says "you're a human being, not a human doing", and that emphasizes my hope for you with this podcast!Meditation has been helpful for me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and a form of meditation called "Lectio Divina" was incredibly moving for me at different moments of my life.  But when I went to search for it... I didn't find much!  Just some very old or poorly recorded sermons or a random video explaining what it was... So like many things, I thought, well if it's not out there, maybe I should create it!This podcast is just a welcome to it, and a brief cover of what Lectio Divina is!  Lectio Divina is an ancient monastic practice in the Christian faith of allowing Scripture to come alive through the reading and meditating of it.  The four parts are Lectio ("read"); Meditatio ("meditate"); Oratio ("pray"); Contemplatio ("contemplate").  In each Lectio Divina I'll read a passage out loud for you to listen to.  The first time through you'll simply listen to it and let it be read over you, without attempting to decipher, translate, or understand it.  Almost try to FEEL the passage as it's read aloud.  Then the next time reading through, you'll simply look for a word or phrase that sticks out to you, and acknowledge it.  After finishing the reading you'll call to mind that word or phrase.  The 3rd time reading through the scripture you will then ask the question "What does God want to speak to me through this word or phrase?".  Lastly, you'll ask the question "What does this mean for me today?" or "What can I do with this thing God is speaking to me in my day?".I hope you enjoy it, and I hope it's fruitful for you!Remember, you're a human being,not a human doing.- Matt V.Support the show (http://www.patreon.com/beingpodcast)
