This episode challenges everything you thought you knew about the Kingdom, religion, and leadership—revealing how much of what we've built is based on missed expectations and outdated systems. Dive in to discover why Jesus's vision of the Kingdom flips the world's definitions of power, greatness, and success upside down, and how this could radically change the way you live, lead, and build community today. If you've ever wondered what it truly means to be a citizen in a Kingdom that's already present, this is the conversation you can't afford to miss."The kingdom of God is here—not as a religion or institution, but as a foundation that holds everything together." - Tim WindersAccess all show and episode resources HEREEpisode Resources:NT90 Hub – This is the central website for the 90-day New Testament reading plan, with downloadable, printable plans, background information, and links to all episodes and resources.Episode Highlights:00:00 The Kingdom Already Here 01:09 NT in 90 Days 02:21 Four Episode Arc 03:46 Kingdom Arrived First Century 06:27 Upside Down Kingdom Values 10:36 Why We Miss It 15:38 End Times Anxiety Cycle 17:59 Jesus Plus Church Models 22:42 Celebrity Leadership Trap 26:26 Plural Elders Alternative 27:07 Elders by Character 28:03 Jesus Inverts Power 31:35 Strength in Weakness 32:38 Quiet Faithful Endurance 33:42 Kingdom Holds All 36:44 Blueprint in the World 39:33 Knowing the King 42:51 Kingdom Multiplies Scattered 45:55 Modern Misread Exposed 48:54 Love Ladder and Self Control 49:57 Politics Work and Stewardship 51:31 Build on the Foundation 52:34 Next Episode and Invitation

1. Early in his sermon, Tim said “American Christianity has largely sentimentalized the New Testament; but you can't do that with the Old Testament.”What do you think it means to “sentimentalize the NT?” How prominent is that in your experience of Christianity? How aware of it have you been or are you now?What things can you recognize and identify as impacts or outcomes of that sentimentalizing? How have those things impacted you and your life of faith?2. The phrase “the Canaanites” acts almost as a shorthand representation for the many smaller kingdoms that operated in the region at the time. These kingdoms operated in the mode of something Brueggemann called the “Royal Consciousness: a culture of domination, consumption, and social control where the few live extravagantly…at the cost of many.”Common objects of worship in these cultures were Baal & Asherah. Baal was the rain and storm god, while Asherah was believed to have power over childbirth and family concerns. The Israelites, as noted in Judges 3:7, don't last long before they lapse into servitude of these two gods.In the cultural & historical contexts of Judges, Baal & Asherah could be understood as objects that were worshipped in attempts to avoid the threats of chaos & barrenness. These two themes have shown up repeatedly in our study of the first Old Testament books.Where, in our own modern cultural context, do you see the same perpetual specters of chaos & barrenness? What does each look like in 2026's America?How do people today try to escape these modern iterations of chaos &/or barrenness? To what extent do you see that dynamic at play within our world today?To what extent is that dynamic at play in you and your life? What things do you pursue as hopeful saviors from these timeless threats? Where do you tend to (consciously or unconsciously) look for rescue or safety in the face of them?3. Tim described a pattern that is present in Judges; it's a cycle that starts with loss of memory resulting in ideological capture.Where can you identify these first parts of the pattern in a more contemporary context?After reviewing the full cycle, how relatable or resonant does this pattern seem today? Does it hold true? Where might you call out additional nuance or variation?Tim said that though this pattern is often referred to as the “sin cycle,” it is, instead, a Redemption Cycle. He added that “failure is the engine of every redemption story.”What do you think about this framing? Where does it hold up? Where might you feel curious about gaps?How might you conceive of yourself within its stages, especially in light of the things you identified in question 2 as places you may turn for safety in the face of chaos and/or barrenness?

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 279-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 44,448 on turnover of $18.6-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed more than 1,000 points higher Friday with AI-related stocks in focus amid improved sentiment after U.S. President Donald Trump cancelled planned strikes against Iran. Analysts say electronics heavyweights, notably in the semiconductor industry simply followed suit and the momentum largely reflected optimism toward AI development. And select raw material stocks also moved higher in line with the Taiex. Civil groups urge protections for migrant caregivers through agency hiring Civil groups are urging the government to allow household migrant caregivers to be hired and managed by long-term care agencies. They say, the move would prevent overwork and better protect the interests of both those providing and receiving care. Protesters demonstrated at a rally outside the Ministry of Health and Welfare, saying "exploitation (利用，剝削) is not a choice." Advocates described facing long working hours, limited opportunities for rest or leave, and increasing care responsibilities that often go beyond what one person can do. They noted that the rights to rest and take leave are "fundamental labor and human rights," and emphasized that caregivers being overworked affected the quality of care received by older adults. MOHW officials say that the proposed change would require significant regulatory changes and careful assessment. 2 Mercury viewing events coming up The Taipei Astronomical Museum says, stargazers may be able to view Mercury with the naked eye twice this week… This month Mercury is visible low in the western sky after sunset and can be seen more easily with binoculars. The first event will occur tomorrow, with one of the best chances all year to observe the planet. Then on Wednesday, Mercury will join Venus, Jupiter, and a crescent moon in the western sky,with all four objects forming a vertical arrangement. The museum recommended viewing the events between 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. from a location with an unobstructed (無障礙的) view of the western horizon… but they do warn of unstable weather affecting visibility. Gaza latest Gaza's Health Ministry says the Palestinian death toll from the Israel-Hamas war has surpassed 73,000. The updated toll came as Israel has continued to strike what it says are militant targets, often killing civilians, despite a fragile (脆弱的) ceasefire deal reached in October. Donna Warder again. G7 Summit Protests Thousands of demonstrators are converging in Geneva to show their discontent with the G7 group of rich countries. U.S. President Donald Trump and counterparts are set to hold a summit starting today across Lake Geneva in France. Environmentalists and feminists on Sunday joined protesters against imperialism (帝國主義), defenders of independent media and supporters of Palestinian rights and others in a lakeside park for a march across town. The summit from Monday to Wednesday in Evian-les-Bains, France, will discuss the Middle East, Ukraine and global economic issues. Demonstrators have been gathering for days. Switzerland Rejects Proposal to Cap Population Swiss voters have rejected a proposal to cap the country's population at 10 million. The initiative, led by the right-wing Swiss People's Party, was seen as a move against migration. Preliminary results showed nearly 55% opposed the measure, with a turnout of almost 59%. Critics warned it could harm Switzerland's ties with the European Union. Switzerland isn't an EU member but is surrounded by EU countries. The proposal's defeat reflects ongoing debates about immigration in Europe. Swiss democracy allows voters to directly influence policy through referendums, highlighting the country's unique approach to governance (治理). That was the I.C.R.T.

The Old Testament reading for this Sunday is the enigmatic story of Abraham and his three mysterious guests while he was living in tents under the oaks of Mamre. It's a story laden with theological implications…and tinged with a bit of humor.

New Testament Sermons / Speaker:Berry Kercheville Strong Christians Have Close Relationships Introduction: In our men's weekend with Jacob Hudgins, he asked a very important question about Samson. The question was this: “Who were Samson's close friends?” It was a question that most, if not all of us had never considered. Samson not only did not have close friends, there is no evidence that he had anyone that could be considered a friend. Samson doesn't believe he needs anyone. He is a one man wrecking crew. From the very first, “Get her for me, she pleases me well,” to “…strengthen me only this once, O God, that I may be avenged on the Philistines for my two eyes,” Samson lived life his way.  Does that sound familiar? Do we really need anyone else to be very close to us? Oh sure, we can use some help from time to time, but we just take care of our responsibilities. Let's be honest, most of us have a very independent nature and can easily live independent lives. But that is far from what God has asked of us. When we read the book of Acts, we should suddenly be struck with three major messages, the growth of the kingdom of God, the persecution of Christians in the midst of a dark and idolatrous world, and the fact that everywhere the gospel is preached a church came into being—a group of Christians dedicated to working together and helping each other attain an eternal goal. And they weren't just a “group” holding “services” together, they were deeply interconnected.  In fact, when we consider the 27 writings of the NT, every single letter stresses the love and concern that is to be evident among brethren in each church. The letter that says it more than any other is 1 John. John's letter will be our primary text. Overall Context At the end of the first century, Christians were dealing with individuals in the churches that had turned aside from the teachings of the apostles and instead believed they received inspired messages from spiritual beings. Their claim of super knowledge led them to exalt themselves above other Christians, cause divisions by establishing new churches, and cause doubt among Christians who had not received these same “revelations.”  John defeated these teachings with the emphasis on three primary truths: Those who truly know God keep his commandments by following the teaching of the apostles.  Practicing sin is not living righteously, and one who practices sin is not of God. Those who exalted themselves above the brethren and “went out from us” based on their own teachings, do not love the brethren, nor do they love God.  Our concern will be the emphasis John puts on this last point. We might look at these three messages of John and give our attention more to “keeping the commandments of God” and refusing to “practice sin” than we do to “loving the brethren.” But you may be surprised that is not how John presents his message.  Before we read these verses, a reminder: You may be thinking, “We all know that we are to love each other, and we do love each other. Why this sermon?” Two reasons: We all have difficulty thinking of love much beyond how we feel about each other and our ability to be friendly with each other. What we are missing is that the slightest offense instantly destroys those kind, friendly feelings. That is obviously not the kind of love the Lord is talking about. Because we struggle to obtain and maintain the love defined by John in his letter, we easily retain a suspicion about each other: “Can I really trust you to be gentle, kind, and patient, and that my welfare is a top priority for you?” If you are honest, you know you cannot say that about just anyone, even those you say you love!  Highlighting John's Message of Love (1 John) 2:6-11 An old commandment that has now become new. 3:9-23  9-10: Loving one another is on the same plane as “practicing righteousness.” 14: “We have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers.” 16: “By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.” Jesus defined love by lying down his life, which defines for us whether or not we are loving one another.  18-19: “Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him…” Our assurance of salvation has to do with whether or love goes beyond “word and talk.”  21-23: “Whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what is pleasing to him. And this is the commandment that…we love one another…”  4:7-8 Whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.  4:10-12 God's love is perfected in us when we love one another. It is the way the God who has not been seen, can now be seen.  4:17 “By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for he day of judgment…” 4:20-21 “…he who does not love is brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.”  5:1-2 “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments.”  Throughout these texts we have seen time and again the absolute necessity of loving one another in the same way Jesus has love us if we expect to be saved. Serious historical problem among churches: stressing doctrinal correctness to the point that how we behave and whether we love each other as John has defined does not even enter the picture of our own salvation. That is a perfect description of the Pharisees!  Beyond “Feeling” Love: Deepening Our Connections We mentioned at the beginning of the lesson that a good test of love between one another is when suspicion is removed and trust is the foundation of the relationship. Consider Proverbs 17:17, “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” Therefore, instead of asking, “Do you love the brethren,” ask, “Who do you know that will love at all times regardless of the challenges and difficulties? Who do you trust that will always “be there?”  Here's another challenge: “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working” (James 5:16). Who could you confess your sins to? It is a matter of love and trust, isn't it? Hebrews 3:12-13 “Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.” Exhorting one another every day is the key to avoiding the deceitfulness of sin and an evil heart.  Hebrews 10:24-26 “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. For if we go on sinning deliberately…” Our assembling together is a matter of loving and protecting each other from slipping and falling in our faith. If we do not have love that trusts and lacks suspicion, we cannot obey this command.  The critical use of time to build trusting love: (Story of the El Cajon men who met once on Wednesday night after class) The love God expects of us that sacrifices self, protects and encourages, stirs up to more love and good works, is not attained simply by potlucks. There must be intentionality and purpose in the togetherness.  Examples: One couple together with another couple discussing marital and spiritual challenges in marriage and raising a family. A group of men discussing how we can enhance our love for our wives and our children. Mixed groups of singles and married discussing the spiritual needs of each and how we can help one another and make deeper connections. How can this happen? What are possible objections? “No one invites me.” — Do you respond to the invitations give to the whole church? Take advantage to what is already in place so that you are more visible and accepting. Create your own connection. Invite others.  Start small with a “safe” small group, or even just one person. Add to that and build on it. Step up to the plate as a shepherd/leader. All of us can find people we can mentor, show concern for, and be vulnerable with. Conclusion: The goal is deepening our love for someone else and their love for us. We need to be more than a family, we need to be God's family. You will be surprised that within a short time you can establish and trusting love with your brother and sister in Christ. Don't be a “Samson!” That's victory over the devil! Berry Kercheville The post 1 John: Strong Christians Have Close Relationships appeared first on Woodland Hills Church of Christ.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 438-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 43,588 on turnover of $22.6-billion N-T. The market lost ground on Thursday, as investors reacted to another sell-off of artificial-intelligence stocks that dragged Wall Street down overnight.

Taiwan slips to 42nd in Global Peace Index Taiwan ranks 42nd in terms of peacefulness in the 2026 Global Peace Index. Taiwan has an overall score of 1.751 this year and fell from 37th place in last year's report. The report is published by the global Institute for Economics and Peace and covers 163 countries. The overall score measures a country's level of peacefulness, using 23 quantitative and qualitative indicators across three domains - those being ongoing domestic and international conflict, societal safety and security, and militarization. Each indicator is weighted on a scale of 1 to 5, with lower scores indicating greater peacefulness. Although Taiwan ranks 42nd worldwide, it's listed in 9th place among the 19 Asian-Pacific countries in the report. Iceland remained the most peaceful country in the world for the 19th consecutive (連續的) year, with an overall score of 1.161, followed by New Zealand, Switzerland, Slovenia and Ireland.

EU godkände antikroppsbehandlingar, men svenska NT-rådet rekommenderar det inte. En mindre klinisk effekt ställs mot risk och kostnad i svensk offentlig vård. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Rättelse i webbpubliceringen. I den tidigaste versionen beskrevs att TLV sagt nej till det nya läkemedlet. Rätt är att TLV har gjort en hälsoekonomisk bedömning. Antikroppsläkemedlen lecanemab och donanemab är godkända av den europeiska läkemedelsmyndigheten EMA och riktar in sig på beta-amyloid, de plack som kan ansamlas i hjärnan vid Alzheimer. I studier på personer med mild sjukdom gick försämringen av minne och vardagsfunktion cirka 30 procent långsammare än med placebo. I genomsnitt motsvarade det knappt ett halvår, omkring fem månader, och skillnaden mättes som några få poäng på skalan CDR-SB, som används för att mäta svårigheten av demenssjukdomar.Samtidigt finns risk för allvarliga biverkningar. Ödem och små hjärnblödningar har setts, och i en studie fick 13 procent av deltagarna små blödningar, medan 4 av 757 drabbades av en större blödning över en centimeter. Behandlingen kräver upprepade undersökningar med magnetkamera för att upptäcka förändringar i tid.TLV, tandvårds- och läkemedelsförmånsverket, har analyserat det hälsoekonomiskt. Rådet för nya terapier, NT-rådet, rekommenderar det inte med hänvisning till nytta, risk och hälsoekonomi. Priset är hemligt men bedöms ligga långt över betalningsviljan, och även Danmark har avrått.Dessutom kan bara en liten andel av de alzheimersjuka vara aktuella för behandling med de nya läkemedlen, eftersom riskgenvarianten ApoE4, blodförtunnande läkemedel och annan svår sjuklighet kan utesluta patienter. Diskussionen pekar också mot att amyloida plack inte förklarar allt, och att tau och inflammation kan behöva angripas i framtida kombinationsbehandlingar.Medverkar gör Maria Eriksdotter, professor i geriatrisk medicin på Karolinska institutet och överläkare, Ezio Giacobini, professor emeritus i psykiatri och farmakologi med inriktning på hjärnsjukdomar vid University of Geneva Hospitals i Schweiz, Jannick Brennum, vice ordförande i danska medicinrådet och biträdande direktör på Rikshospitalet i Köpenhamn samt Tobias Granberg, adjungerad professor i neurologi vid Karolinska institutet.Reporter: Annika Östmanannika.ostman@sr.seProducent: Lars Broströmlars.brostrom@sr.seTekniker: David Hellgrendavid.hellgren@sr.se

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening  The Tai-Ex opened down 53-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 43,172 on turnover of 11.9-billion N-T. The market tumbled (大跌、暴跌) on Wednesday after heavy selling in major tech stocks triggered a decline that sent the benchmark index back to below its monthly moving average and erased all of the previous session's gains. Two leading House Republicans to meet with KMT chair Two leading U-S House Republicans are meeting with K-M-T Chair Cheng Li-wun in Washington, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, and Young Kim, who leads a subcommittee (小組委員會) overseeing East Asia policy have both said they will sit down with Cheng. Mast has admitted he doesn't have specific expectations for the meeting. While a spokesperson for Kim, says the lawmaker plans to encourage Cheng and the K-M-T to support more defense spending to show Taiwan's commitment to self-defense and deterrence (嚇阻、威懾). NGO warns large fish disappearing from Taiwan's coasts due to overfishing Greenpeace Taiwan says research shows that smaller fish are making up an increasing share of Taiwan's inshore and offshore catches (近海與離岸漁獲), a trend the group says indicates larger fish are becoming rarer due to overfishing. According to the study, the proportion of fish caught before reaching "Lm50" — or the length at which 50 percent of a species reaches sexual maturity (性成熟) — rose from 77.7-percent in 2022 to 93.3-percent in 2025. Researchers say the survey points to severe overfishing and shows that without effective management measures, fish populations could face bottleneck effects (瓶頸效應) that result in progressively smaller fish. Iran latest Bahrain sounded its missile alert sirens (飛彈警報器) early Thursday morning after Iran threatened to retaliate (報復、反擊) over a new round of U.S. airstrikes targeting the Islamic Republic. Bahrain's urged the public to seek shelter. Iran's paramilitary (準軍事的) Revolutionary Guard had threatened to strike Bahrain over the attacks. The second day of American strikes comes hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan — all of which host U.S. troops — came under Iranian fire. Iran has said it will close the Strait of Hormuz in response. Congo Ebola outbreak spreads in the east Congo's Ebola outbreak (疫情、爆發) has spread to another health zone in the country's northeastern province of Ituri. Health officials say the outbreak has now affected 26 health zones nationwide. That includes 18 in Ituri where most of the confirmed cases (確診病例) have been reported. Officials reported 37 new confirmed cases and 12 deaths in the past 24 hours. The outbreak has now recorded 635 confirmed cases and 127 deaths across three eastern provinces. It is caused by the rare Bundibugyo strain (病毒株) of Ebola. Officials say there is no approved vaccine or specific treatment for that strain. Treatment activities are now underway at Ebola centers in two affected areas. Pope Leo blesses Sagrada Familia's tallest tower Pope Leo has blessed the newest tower of Barcelona's Sagrada Familia, making it the tallest church in the world. The 172-meter Tower of Jesus Christ is topped with a large ceramic cross visible across the city. Leo called the basilica an "architectural masterpiece" (建築傑作) during a Mass attended by Spain's king, queen and prime minister. The ceremony came 100 years after the death of architect Antoni Gaudi. The pope also used his sermon (講道、布道) to say Christians "cannot believe in Jesus and promote war." Earlier in the day, Leo became the first pope to visit a Spanish prison. He urged inmates at Brians 1 prison to make amends (彌補過錯、改過) and choose better lives. The Sagrada Familia was meant to be completed this year, but construction is now expected to continue until 2035.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening  The Tai-Ex opened down 122-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 44,581 on turnover of 8.6-billion N-T. The market staged a technical rebound (技術性反彈) on Tuesday led by the electronics sector, after tech stocks rallied on Wall Street overnight, while buying also rotated to (輪動至) the financial sector, to give an additional boost to the broader market. Lai touts Shinzo Abe's legacy at Tokyo forum  President Lai Ching-te said Taiwan and Japan face identical security challenges along the First Island Chain. In a pre-recorded address at the inaugural (首屆的) Shinzo Abe and Modern Japan International Research Forum in Tokyo, Lai said the late Prime Minister's declaration that "a Taiwan contingency (緊急事態) is a Japanese contingency" highlights the importance of continued peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. The president also used the opportunity to thank Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi for continuing Abe's legacy. The forum was cohosted by the National Chengchi University's Shinzo Abe Research Center and the Japan Institute for National Fundamentals think tank… it brought together experts from Taiwan, Japan and the U-S to discuss Abe's legacy and strategy. Hsinchu gas explosion cause under investigation  Fire investigators (調查人員) and police are looking into the cause of an explosion that left two people dead and two others injured in Hsinchu City on Tuesday. The explosion ripped through (炸穿 / 猛烈摧毀) a lunchbox store on Gaocui Road in the city's East District. The blast collapsed a wall onto a neighboring bakery - where the two elderly victims were sleeping. Both were later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. Firefighters believe the blast was due gas accumulating (累積 / 聚積) overnight inside the lunchbox store after it closed. US Launches New Attacks on Iran Following Helicopter Incident Bahrain has sounded its missile alert sirens as Iran said it targeted the island nation to retaliate (報復) for US strikes. Iran said it had targeted the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, the island nation in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Saudi Arabia. Bahrain's Interior Ministry urged (呼籲) the public to seek shelter. The US launched fresh strikes on Iran following the downing of an Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz, putting any new peace agreement in jeopardy (陷入危險).

Brazil Crackdown on Smugglers of Cuban Migrants Brazilian police have rescued more than 100 Cuban migrants from human smugglers (走私者 / 偷渡集團) at the northern border with Guyana. Officials say the 108 migrants are in custody while authorities work to regularize (使合法化) their immigration status. Five people have been arrested on smuggling charges. The smugglers, known as "coyotes," charged high fees and provided unsafe travel conditions. The operation, conducted Monday, marks the largest humanitarian rescue in the state. Cuban migration to Brazil has surged since 2022 due to Cuba's economic crisis and U.S. sanctions. More affluent migrants often fly to Sao Paulo, while others travel overland through northern Amazon states. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 184-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 43,687 on turnover of 22.7-billion N-T. The market recorded its third largest ever point decline on Monday as investors reacted to plunge on Wall Street last Friday as big artificial intelligence-related stocks fell. MND calls China Coast Guard patrols 'provocative' Defense Minister Wellington Koo is describing Chinese Coast Guard patrols in waters east of Taiwan as being a "provocative act." The statement comes after four Chinese ships, including three coast guard vessels, sailed into Taiwan's restricted waters 30-nautical miles southwest of the island's southern most tip on Sunday. The Coast Guard Administration dispatched seven if its vessels the area to warn away ​the Chinese ships. According to the defense minister, China's actions were a form of cognitive warfare, that was aimed at claiming Taiwan's eastern waters as belonging to Beijing - which shows serious disrespect for Taiwan's national sovereignty. MOJ seeking death for etomidate trafficking Justice Minister Cheng Ming-chien says his office is taking steps to reclassify etomidate, which is also known as "zombie vape." According to Cheng, the Narcotics Review Committee will hold talks next week, at which the drug could be upgraded from a Category 2 narcotic to Category 1 due to its potential for abuse. Cheng says if the committee agrees to reclassify the drug, those convicted of manufacturing, transporting or selling etomidate could face life in prison or the death penalty. The statements come after the National Police Agency recently reported that large numbers of people have been arrested for driving under the influence of etomidate in recent years. Premier Cho Jung-tai last week told reporters that authorities will be stepping up border inspections targeting the so called "zombie vapes." Ukraine Strikes Russian Oil Facilities Ukrainian forces have struck oil facilities in Russia and occupied Ukraine as part of their campaign to impose economic costs on Moscow. Ukrainian and Russian officials confirmed the attacks on Monday. Ukraine's President Zelenskyy has confirmed that Roman Abramovich acted as a mediator between Kyiv and Moscow, delivering messages from Russian President Putin. Russia's Defense Ministry reported shooting down 310 Ukrainian drones overnight.

Paul began his letter to the Romans in a rare way, calling himself a slave (doulos) of Christ. He does this only two other times in his letters (Phil 1:1 and Titus 1:1). Doulos (slave) means someone who belongs to another, without any ownership rights of their own. We American Christians love our freedom, and may bristle at the idea that we are slaves. Yet, doulos is used with the highest dignity in the NT – namely, of believers who willingly live under Christ's authority as His devoted followers. In Romans 6:15-19, Paul urges us to embrace our slavery to God through the righteousness found in Christ. Freedom isn't about having no constraints, it's about having the right constraints, the ones that actually free us. Slavery to sin is a cruel master, but slavery to God leads to true freedom. For Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed (John 8:34-36).Take-Home Message: True freedom is found in presenting yourself to God.The freedom of presenting yourself to God (15-16).We are all slaves.We are slaves of the one whom we obey.Slavery to sin leads to death.Slavery to God leads to life.The freedom of presenting your heart to God (17-18).The freedom of presenting your members to God (19).Finding Freedom:GatherStudyPrayPraise

The single best way to evaluate the practice of religion is to ask these two questions:Does it prioritize mercy over judgment?Does it make people more merciful?If yes, it's life-giving religion; if no, it's death-dealing religion.

Premier talks lifetime license ban for fatal drug-impaired driving Premier Cho Jung-tai says motorists who cause death or serious injury while driving under the influence of drugs will face a lifetime license ban under planned amendments to the law. According to the Cabinet, the Ministry of Justice has been instructed to draft amendments imposing harsher (更嚴厲的) criminal penalties for drug-impaired driving as soon as possible. The premier says Cabinet would discuss establishing a legal basis for rapid saliva testing of suspected drug-impaired drivers and those tests could also be used alongside existing urine tests in schools to strengthen anti-drug efforts. The premier also says authorities will step up border inspections targeting vapes and that he's instructed the justice ministry to convene a narcotics review committee to consider reclassifying etomidate from a Category 2 to a Category 1 narcotic. The proposed changes come after the Ministry of Transport earlier this week unveiled a package of stricter administrative penalties that also covered passengers riding with drug-impaired drivers and expanded license revocations. Taipei Zoo to receive two red pandas on Saturday: Officials Taipei Zoo is scheduled to receive two red pandas from Shanghai Zoo tomorrow.

According to Peng, the official goal remain to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 28-per cent, plus or minus 2 percentage points, by 2030 compared with 2005 levels.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 51-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 45,388 on turnover of 19.1-billion N-T. The market gained solid ground and closed above the 45,000-point mark for the first time on Monday, amid investor enthusiasm over the artificial intelligence boom. The rise came as some of the world's leading tech companies are in Taiwan for Computex this week - where they're expected to give solid guidance for A-I at a series of forums and keynote speeches. Analysts say Computex-driven business opportunities could help push the market higher for much of this week. Vystrcil says China cannot decide Czech-Taiwanese ties Visiting Czech Senate President Milos Vystrcil says China cannot tell the Czech Republic whom to befriend (交朋友).

MOHW announces that foreign professionals and dependents eligible for long-term care services The Ministry of Health says foreign professionals and their dependents will soon be eligible for long-term care services. According to the ministry, the move means foreign professionals with permanent residency status along with their spouses, children under the age of 18 will have access to the services beginning June 30. Foreign professionals with permanent residency, dependants aged 65 or over or with disabilities will also be eligible. However, eligibilty only applies to those who have legally lived in Taiwan for 10 cumulative years and spent at least 183 days per year here.

Israel UltraOrthodox Protests Against Military Enlistment Tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Israelis have demonstrated across the country against mandatory military enlistment. On Monday, they blocked roads and trains, lit cars on fire, and attacked a soldier. Police struggled to control the crowds with water cannons and horses. The protest disrupted highways and public transportation in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Military service is compulsory for most Jewish men and women in Israel, but ultra-Orthodox parties have historically secured exemptions. Israel is currently maintaining a simultaneous (同時) military presence in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, in addition to fighting a war with Iran, which has stretched its robust military to the breaking point. The issue is tearing apart Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's governing coalition, possibly moving elections up by several weeks this fall after the ultra-Orthodox parties withdrew their support for Netanyahu. Anthropic files for IPO The artificial intelligence company Anthropic says it has filed paperwork for an initial public offering, setting the stage for a blockbuster IPO possibly later this year.

Taipei Zoo marks World Parrot Day, The Taipei Zoo has marked World Parrot Day with a special educational event featuring a sulphur-crested cockatoo. The zoo used the occasion to urge the public not to abandon pet parrots and to reject the illegal wildlife trade. According to the zoo, parrots are popular companion animals because of their colorful plumage (全身羽毛), ability to mimic sounds and strong learning skills, but demand from the pet market has also fueled illegal capture and trade, threatening wild populations. To raise public awareness, the zoo held a pop-up educational session in the Children's area, with a sulphur-crested cockatoo serving as a "teaching assistant" to help visitors learn about parrot behavior and social habits. Israeli Forces Kill Palestinian Man at West Bank Barrier Israeli forces have shot and killed a Palestinian man at a barrier (障礙物) separating the West Bank from Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The man, 26 years old, was shot in the thigh on Sunday and later died at a hospital in Ramallah. He was attempting to cross into Israel for work due to an economic crisis in the West Bank. Many Palestinians have tried to enter Israel illegally for jobs, especially after access was restricted following the war in Gaza. Unemployment has surged and many have been killed or arrested.

Cepeda said he was waiting for electoral authorities to scrutinise the results before accepting the election. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

We tend to forget about the Holy Spirit. It's helpful to understand the Holy Spirit in the context of the Trinity. To do so, often people reach for metaphors, but all metaphors fail at some point. As we work to understand God the Holy Spirit, it seems like the Spirit is a backseat member of the Trinity because Jesus gets so much attention. However, the Holy Spirit is a fully active member of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is fully God, though, at times, the forgotten God.

Wesley Wright Lighthouse Bible Church Sunday, May 31, 2026 2 Corinthians 8:1-5 Title: Philanthropy from the poor Notice the following: they gave freely they gave above their means and they understood the value of service to the brethren. The Macedonians were impoverished. They gave freely anyway for the sake of other saints, and Paul praised them for doing so. Paul was familiar with the people of Macedonia: Act 16:4-11, Act 19:13-22 What's the application for us? We should also give freely.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 94 Gary discusses the hermeneutical concept of "audience relevance." Hermeneutics is the art and science of interpretation and we do it every day by reading other people's body language and tone of voice, among many other visual cues. Written words in the Bible don't have these cues, but we still need to read them as if we were the original recipients of the NT messages and letters in the first century.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 179-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 43,815 on turnover of $16.3-billion N-T. Taipei logs hottest May temperature on record at 38.3°C The Central Weather Administration says data shows temperatures at the Taipei weather station hit 38.3-degrees on Wednesday afternoon - marking the hottest May temperature ever recorded by the station since it was established in 1896. According to the administration's forecast center, the temperature was recorded shortly before 3PM at the station in Taipei's Zhongzheng District. It surpassed the previous May record of 38.2 degrees, which was set twice, on May 28, 2021 and May 27, 2018. The forecast center is attributed the extreme heat to the combined effects of a Pacific high-pressure system, reduced cloud cover and descending (下降) air currents brought by southwesterly winds, which pushed temperatures higher across the Taipei Basin. The highest temperature on Wednesday islandwide was recorded in Tainan's Yujing District, where the mercury hit 39.8-degrees. Report: US & Iran reach initial agreement The US and Iran have reached an agreement to extend (延長) the ceasefire and open nuclear talks, according to the American news outlet Axios. However, US President Donald Trump reportedly still needs to agree to the plan. Nick Harper reports from Washington. UN Sexual Violence Report Includes Israeli and Russian Forces An annual United Nations report documenting sexual violence in conflicts worldwide has included Israeli forces for the first time since the review began more than 15 years ago for their treatment of Palestinian detainees. Russian armed and security forces were also blacklisted for the first time this year for sexual violence against prisoners of war and civilians detained during the war in Ukraine. Israel and Russia both deny the accusations (指控). The 35-page report was shared by the Israeli mission to the U.N. late Thursday ahead of its expected release Friday. The report says the number of cases of sexual violence in conflicts rose sharply in 2025 from 2024. Both Israel and Russia were warned in last year's report by U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that they could be put on the list. The ambassadors of both countries expressed outrage at their inclusion and lashed out at Guterres. Canada on US New Partnership Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is calling for a new partnership with the United States. He is making the comments just weeks before President Donald Trump decides on whether to renew the free trade agreement between the countries. Carney says there should be a “true partnership” that reimagines cooperation in specific sectors deeply challenged by global competition. But warned “we live in a world where integration has been weaponized (武器化)” and noted that is why Canada is diversifying away from the U.S. and signing trade deals with countries around the world. Carney made a speech at the Economic Club of New York. That was the I.C.R.T.

Nvidia's Jensen Huang touts Taiwan as being the 'epicenter of AI revolution' Visiting Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is describing Taiwan as being the "epicenter (中心) of the AI revolution" and at the center of nearly everything his company does. Huang made the statement at a company employee gathering celebrating Nvidia's planned Taiwan headquarters at the Beitou-Shilin Technology Park in Taipei. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an also attended the event, at which he presented Huang with a Key to the City to welcome Nvidia to Taipei. Chiang told attendees that the world is watching how Nvidia shapes the future of A-I and Taipei was proud to be part of that future. Construction of the new Nvidia headquarters is scheduled to begin at the end of this year and be completed in 2030. Canada Day celebrations to mark 159th birthday set for late June And, The Canadian Trade Office in Taipei has announced that Canada Day celebrations will be taking place at the Hakka Cultural Park in Taipei once again this year on June 27. According to the office, the festival has become "a very important celebration not just for Canadians living in Taiwan, but also for people in Taipei and throughout Taiwan who travel to the capital to join the festivities (節慶活動)." Celebration Canada festival is free and will be taking place from 1 to 9PM on Saturday June 27. The annual Taipei event has long been touted as being the largest Canada Day celebration outside of Canada. White House dismisses Iranian reports of draft deal as Trump says he doesn't care about the midterms Iran's state TV says Tehran has obtained a draft of an unofficial framework for a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. to end the war. But the White House has dismissed the report as a complete fabrication (純屬虛構) and during a cabinet meeting President Trump expressed indifference (冷漠) to the political pressure caused by the unpopularity of the conflict. Kate Fisher reports from Washington Brazil Announces Highway Investment Brazil's government has announced a $75 million investment in the BR-319 highway, a move environmentalists fear could speed up Amazon deforestation (森林砍伐). President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva claims it will be the most environmentally advanced road in the world. The highway, linking Amazonas and Rondonia, remains mostly unpaved since its 1976 inauguration. The government also unveiled an environmental protection plan that includes monitoring and conservation units. Critics argue the project lacks necessary safeguards and could worsen deforestation. The Amazon, the world's largest rainforest, plays a critical role in regulating the global climate. The road cuts through one of the biome's (生態群系) most well-preserved regions, home to dozens of protected areas and Indigenous territories. That was the I.C.R.T.

The market lost ground on Tuesday, as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's share price fell from its day's high on technical corrections after a recent rally, pushing the broader market to negative territory - despite it briefly breaching the 44,000 point mark. Ex-Czechia official to speak at democracy forum in Taipei Former foreign ministers from the Czech Republic and the Philippines will be speaking at the inaugural Forum for Democratic Cooperation in Taipei today. The event has been organized by the Forum 2000 Foundation and has received government backing here from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Speaking to reporters in Taipei, foundation executive director, Jakub Klepal, said Taiwan was chosen as the forum's first stop given the growth of A-I and the restructuring (重組) of the global economy, in which Taiwan plays crucial roles. The Forum 2000 Foundation was created by the late Czech President Vaclav Havel and seeks to get democratic actors to address shared challenges in "an increasingly contested global environment."

Gary answers a listener question about a Greek word used in Matthew 25:5, Hebrews 10:37, and in the Septuagint in Habakkuk 2:3. The NT often uses OT language to show that similar events are soon to pass in the first century. Israel's history often feels like a series of cyclical events and Paul even mentions that these events happened as "examples" to his generation, "on whom the end of the ages has come" (1 Corinthians 10:11).

In explaining the remarkable events of Pentecost, the apostle Peter said that this is what the prophet Joel foretold would happen in the last days, and that this is what would happen before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. With the outpouring of the Holy Spirit ten days after the Ascension of Jesus Christ, we find ourselves living between Pentecost and Parousia.

This Sunday's message will be very different than what we are used to. Our steady diet of preaching has been (and will continue to be) exposition through books of Scripture, verse by verse. However, along our journey through Mark's gospel, we occasionally noticed missing verse numbers (7:16; 9:44), and when we finished Mark 16:1-8, the next thing we saw was brackets around Mark 16:9-20 and a study note that says something to the effect of "the earliest manuscripts do not contain these verses." The easiest thing to do would be to simply make that statement, move on, and start preaching through another book. But this section offers a unique opportunity. Sunday, we will examine how God has reliably preserved His word down through time to us and look at the actual evidence for and against Mark's longer ending. Rather than just giving you my opinion about Mark's ending, I will walk you through the process of examining the evidence, which is not hidden or out of reach for Christians. With all the objections to textual corruption, books added to or taken out of the Bible, and the idea that we Christians depend on unknown scholars to tell us what is in our scriptures, I have three goals for Sunday. I hope to show you how the New Testament documents have been reliably passed down to us, let you see and examine the evidence concerning Mark's ending, and use this opportunity to address how we know the 66 books of our Bibles are the only God-inspired books. Accomplishing those three goals in under 40 minutes will be as miraculous as parting the Red Sea, so we certainly can't say everything that needs to be said, but in the end, we will see that God has preserved His Word in the Bible that you carry. The Bible you hold in your hand is God's Word, sufficient and God-breathed, so that you would know Him through the gospel of Jesus. I. Has God Reliably Preserved His Word In the NT? II. Examining Mark's Ending: Are we depending on "scholars" we don't know? III. How do we know the books in our Bibles are the only inspired books?

April 24, 2026 - Equipped 2026 - Day 2 - 9:00 AM Session   This episode features guest speaker Caleb Colley, a scholar with degrees in Communication, Biblical Studies, New Testament, Humanities, and a Ph.D. in Philosophy. A longtime teacher in graduate theology and philosophy programs, he joins the conference to lead a chapter-by-chapter walk through Genesis, focusing here on Creation and the Fall (Genesis 1–3). The talk examines contemporary pressures on young Christians who face conflicting messages from church and school—between a literal six-day creation, naturalistic evolution, and theistic evolution (the view that God used evolution as His method). Caleb outlines the three common responses and explains why he argues theistic evolution is incompatible with the New Testament. Central to the episode is a sustained New Testament case: twelve facts and theological connections (drawn from Jesus, Paul, Peter, Luke, Hebrews, and Jude) that the speaker contends cannot be true if Genesis 1–3 are read non‑literally. Highlights include arguments that Adam and Eve were literal first humans, the first woman was formed from the man, Adam is the representative progenitor of all humans, the formation of Adam from dust, the serpent's real deception of Eve, the historicity of Abel, Cain, and Noah, and the theological necessity of God's rest and the flood for NT teaching. The episode also explores the fall itself: the clarity of God's revelation to Adam and Eve, the devil's calculated temptation, the step‑by‑step progression into sin, Adam's failure of leadership, the fracturing of relationships with God and one another, and God's merciful provision (animal sacrifice and the proto‑evangelium in Genesis 3:15) that foreshadows Christ's defeat of the serpent. Throughout, the speaker connects Genesis to key New Testament doctrines—original sin, Christ as the new Adam, baptism and the ark, typologies between flood and final judgment, and the practical moral consequences for marriage, gender roles, and human identity. Listeners should expect a vigorous theological defense of a literal reading of Genesis 1–3 and clear tracing of how that reading shapes New Testament interpretation and Christian doctrine. This episode is recommended for pastors, students, and listeners interested in biblical theology, creation‑care debates, apologetics, and the pastoral implications of how Genesis is interpreted.   Duration 41:55

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 93 Gary takes a closer look at Acts 1:11, which is often pointed to as proof that Jesus will return exactly as He left during the Ascension. Most futurists use this verse to show that Jesus will return in His physical body because that would be necessary in order to fulfill "just in the same way" He went away. The problem is that this Greek phrase is translated differently in other parts of the NT.
