The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@gmail.com Garth Heckman Urge INTRO: Its a strange memory at best: A young man at church - my sister Renee's friend. HS stud athlete, great looking, always jumping in and out of bed with whomever he could. Now in his early 30's he came to church and Renee said one night after church… he better hurry up and figure out life - his hair is getting thinner and his glasses are getting thicker. Funny, sad, but telling of his life falling apart. He lived his life by his emotions… his “URGES” if you will. the phrase "a piece of work" originated as a high compliment before evolving over centuries into a sarcastic insult. The Literary Origin Its earliest famous usage comes from William Shakespeare's Hamlet (around 1601). In Act II, Scene 2, Prince Hamlet marvels at the creation of humanity: "What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty..." He's a piece of work ISRAELS FIRST KING! King Saul had it all but lost his call as a know it all only to fall. Saul's ultimate downfall was not a lack of talent or opportunity; it was a fundamental flaw in his internal compass. Saul lived a life governed by feelings rather than character. Have you ever met someone who lives by their emotions/feelings/the wind? I used to say to my boys… “dad is in a bad mood today, so don't push it”. WHAT I WAS REALLY SAYING WAS DAD IS IN THE FLESH… LIVING BY HIS URGES! Romans 8:5 Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. 6 So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. 7 For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God's laws, and it never will. 8 That's why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God. 9 But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.) King Saul highlights critical decisions based on fear, jealousy, and impulsivity rather than steadfast character and obedience. 1 Samuel 13:8-12 (Impatience and Panic): When the prophet Samuel delayed his arrival and the Israelite army began to scatter out of fear, Saul panicked. Instead of trusting God and waiting, his anxiety drove him to unlawfully offer the burnt offering himself. Emotions make God's Word feel optional rather than authoritative. When feelings become the filter for truth, scripture gets reduced to "does this resonate with me" instead of "is this what God said." Jeremiah 17:9 warns that the heart is deceitful above all things — not evil in a cartoonish sense, but genuinely unreliable as a final authority. A Christian who only obeys when it feels right isn't actually submitted to Christ's lordship; they're submitted to their own emotional state, with God's Word as an occasional consultant rather than the authority. Abortion, adultery, fornication, bitterness, gossip… emotions muddy up the water. Anterior Midcingulate Cortex it behaves like a muscle, shrinking when underused and expanding physically when you engage in effortful, resistance-heavy activities. Anatomy of the aMCC The Friction Requirement: The aMCC only grows when you face friction or internal resistance. Pushing through a workout you love doesn't trigger the same growth as forcing yourself to do a workout—or a task—that you genuinely do not want to do The Battle of Sarx (The Flesh): Paul describes the "flesh" not merely as the physical body, but as the path of least resistance—primal drives, comfort-seeking, and self-preservation. The body only wants to eat, sleep be tickled and have sex! In Galatians 5:17, he notes: "For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other." The subjective internal friction you feel when forcing yourself to do a hard task is the exact experiential battleground Paul describes. Mortification (Nekroo): In Colossians 3:5 and Romans 8:13, the New Testament commands believers to "put to death" or "mortify" lower impulses. This is not a passive event; it is an active, effortful override of natural inclination—the exact stimulus that drives aMCC hypertrophy. How do you put to death the desires of the flesh? Lets put this misconception to bed for good! You do the opposite of the flesh according to scripture. 1 Samuel 14:24, 43-44 (Rashness and Impulsivity): Driven by the heat of battle, Saul made a foolish, impulsive oath binding his army to fast until evening. This emotional decision left his men exhausted and nearly resulted in the execution of his own son, Jonathan, who had unknowingly eaten honey. Emotional highs get mistaken for spiritual maturity. Feeling moved during worship, feeling peace after a decision, feeling conviction in the moment — these can be real and God-given, but they can also be manufactured by music, social pressure, or just brain chemistry. The danger is building a faith that needs a constant emotional high to feel "real," which sets people up to crash hard when the feelings fade — and many walk away from faith entirely when the emotional experience stops delivering, mistaking the absence of feeling for the absence of God. **When emotions supersede logic or common sense, they will typically supersede Gods best as well. MANY/MOST times God will ask you to do something that goes against your emotions! 1 Samuel 15:24 (Fear of Man over Integrity): After failing to completely destroy the Amalekites as God commanded, Saul shifted the blame. He finally confessed to Samuel that his lack of character stemmed from insecurity, stating: "I was afraid of the men and so I gave in to them.” Remember… He's the King! And he is afraid of the men? It makes obedience conditional instead of covenantal. Abraham didn't feel like sacrificing Isaac. Jesus, didn't feel like going to the cross — Obeying when you feel like it is not obedience its convenience! men: leading a family, staying faithful in a hard marriage, disciplining kids, showing up to serve when you're exhausted — none of that runs on feelings. It runs on covenant commitment that outlasts emotion. *If I win the lottery I will definitely tithe and even give more than 10%. NOPE! If you can't give $10 out of $100 you won't give 1 Million out of 100 Million. 1 Samuel 18:10-11 (Uncontrolled Rage): Saul's jealousy quickly escalated into murderous anger. While David was playing the lyre to soothe him, Saul was overcome by an evil spirit and his own rage, throwing his spear at David twice in an attempt to pin him to the wall. Emotional volatility becomes a discipleship excuse instead of a growth area. "I just felt led" or "I couldn't help how I reacted" “We are in Love”. “She started it”. “It was Tuesday” The flesh wether in a high or a low is meant to be cultivated by the fruits of the Spirit! I love what Socrates said “any virtue in and of itself is a danger, it must be balanced with another virtue. i.e. if you are generous but do not balance that with wisdom, you will give all your money away and your family will starve. This is what the fruits of the Spirit do for us when in the midst of great emotion.

Sermons By Antioch Community Church in Brighton, MA (Boston Area)
Patrick takes the microphone to wrestle with questions about church authority, faith, and conscience, addressing misconceptions about Catholic teaching on salvation and exploring the tension between so-called legalism and a genuine relationship with God, using analogies from family rules to traffic laws. He fields raw listener dilemmas, from marital struggles to the odd presence of a Buddha statue, and traces the roots of priestly ordination through history, threading wisdom from saints and scripture through each exchange. In every moment, he leans into the messiness, persistent in pursuit of clarity and truth. Ken (email) – It’s sad to hear the bad information you gave to a little kid (00:48) Email - What's the best way to respond to a "non-denominational" (which just sounds like another domination) Christian who gives the usual relationship vs religion/legalism argument against the Catholic Church? Sylvia (email) - Is it okay according to my church to separate from my husband of 26 years after 10+ years of no intimacy, his suspected cheating and possible attraction to men that disturbs my close relationship with God, when I only stayed for financial reasons, am tired of the lies, and now prioritize my faith at age 57? (19:31) James (email) – What should I do with this Budda statue? Ceci (email) - Is it true that each priest is able to trace their ordination lineage back to the Apostles? (39:30) Martin (email) - What is the higher good? Obeying one's conscience (and who gets to decide at what point the conscience is well-formed??) or obeying authority? I am thinking right now in particular of the situation with the SSPX.

How do we recognize God's voice? How do we test our promptings to ensure they line up with Scripture? And what happens when we finally step out in wild, courageous obedience?We also share some incredible behind-the-scenes movie trivia (including a couple of very famous Hollywood extras!) and discuss why this film still moves audiences decades later.Drop a comment below: What is a step of faith you know God is whispering for you to take right now?⚽ A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSOR: UPWARD SPORTSThe World Cup has been awesome!

Send us Fan MailYou can memorize Scripture, sit through sermons, and still walk out the door exactly the same. James 1 refuses to let that slide, and we lean into why that tension is so common and so dangerous. We talk about James' story as Jesus' half-brother, what changed after the resurrection, and why this short letter lands with such weight for anyone who wants more than religious routine.We read and unpack key themes from James 1: facing trials without losing heart, letting perseverance do its work, and asking God for wisdom with real trust instead of double-minded hesitation. We also get painfully practical about temptation, tracing how desire grows into sin, and why blaming God misses the point. Along the way, James levels the playing field between rich and poor and calls us back to what actually lasts.Then the passage turns the spotlight on our everyday lives: quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger. We explore why human anger can feel justified while still failing to produce God's righteousness, and why “hearing the word” can become self-deception if it never becomes obedience. James' mirror illustration and his definition of pure religion push us toward a faith you can see, especially in speech, compassion, and care for the vulnerable.If you're hungry for Christian maturity, spiritual growth, and discipleship that can't be microwaved, this conversation is for you. Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who wants their faith to be real on Monday, and leave a review if it helped. What's one specific action you need to take after hearing James 1?

✨The universe still obeys the voice of God, so why do we struggle to trust Him? In Genesis 1:11–19, God speaks to creation, and the earth, the lights, the seasons, and the heavens respond exactly as He commands. In The Universe Is Still Obeying, Pastor Brandon Hill reminds us that if creation can obey God without hesitation, then we are called to trust His Word, follow His direction, and surrender to His authority. This powerful message will challenge you to stop resisting what God has spoken and start living with the faith, obedience, and confidence that His Word still works.

Carissa Véliz is an Associate Professor in Philosophy at the Institute for Ethics in AI, a Fellow at Hertford College at the University of Oxford, and the author of multiple books, including, most recently, Prophecy: Prediction, Power, and the Fight for the Future, from Ancient Oracles to AI. Greg and Carissa discuss Carissa's newest work, where she links prediction to surveillance and argues that forecasts are speech acts that intervene in the world, often becoming self-fulfilling or self-defeating. She says humans seek prophecy to relieve anxiety, but this grants power to predictors and can undermine autonomy, democracy, and fairness, especially via opaque algorithms, social-credit-style control, and pattern-matching decisions like lending. Carissa urges transparent, contestable criteria, skepticism about incentives behind predictions, and treating unwanted forecasts as invitations to defy rather than “obey in advance.” Their conversation critiques utilitarianism and effective altruism for relying on long-term prediction, discusses fatalism and moral luck, and advocates resilience, scenario planning, Epicurean agency, and literature as an antidote to doomscrolling, shrinking attention, and AI-driven cultural convergence. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: When forecasts become commands 25:28: Instead of obeying predictions by believing them uncritically, I suggest that we interpret them as invitations for defiance. And maybe some predictions you do not want to defy. Maybe some predictions you're like, “Okay, yeah, I like that future, and I'm on board.” But with the ones that you don't like, I think the correct attitude is, “No, we're not. No, we're not. That's not where we're going.” Can predictions bend reality? 25:34: When we believe that prediction uncritically, when we listen to it as if it were a fact, because grammatically it sounds like a fact, what we are doing is obeying implicitly in the sense of Timothy Snyder, of obeying in advance before we are issued an explicit command. When we interpret predictions as facts, we implicitly obey in advance. Obeying in advance 23:54: When we believe that prediction uncritically, when we listen to it as if it were a fact, because grammatically it sounds like a fact, what we are doing is obeying implicitly in the sense of Timothy Snyder, of obeying in advance before we are issued an explicit command.

This conversation explores emotional honesty, social conditioning, approval-seeking, individuality, self-awareness, and the courage it takes to think for yourself.This is not about rebellion for the sake of chaos. It's about consciously questioning inherited identity long enough to discover who you truly are underneath it all.Anarchy For A Day: What Happens When You Stop Obeying Who You Were Told To Be

The idea of obedience brings complex reactions for many of us, perhaps stirring fears of legalism or a sense of anxiety. But when coupled with love – our love for God and God's love for us – obedience to Jesus is the only way of true freedom and joy. Obedience to Jesus draws us into a life of personal transformation, deep and healthy relationships, and active participation in God's work in the world. Join us as we finish our four-part “Spread the Love” series on the ECV mission statement by considering what it means to “love and obey Jesus Christ in all things.”- Series Description - For God so loved the world, he sent Jesus. As God does, we do, too. Our call is to spread the love as sent ones, empowered by the Holy Spirit. Join us for Spread the Love, a four week series beginning this week, as we explore ECV's mission statement as an invitation to join God in bringing God's kingdom of love to the world around us.ECV's Mission: The Elm City Vineyard exists to call all people to revolutionary lives of action through Spirit-empowered communities that love and obey Jesus Christ in all things.
The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/050726.cfmFather Daniel Klimek, PhD, explains that the Council of Jerusalem established that faith in Christ, not painstaking adherence to the Mosaic Law, is the path to salvation, while clarifying that moral works remain essential as a fruit of that living faith. Father Daniel contrasts the secular view of God's commandments as unnecessarily restrictive chains with the biblical reality that obeying Christ is an act of love that brings complete joy and human flourishing. By remaining in this relationship of love, believers discover that true freedom is found, not by ignoring the law, but in honoring and obeying the Father who desires their happiness.⭐️ Support our Ministries: https://www.thedivinemercy.org/donate?source=pod✝️ Explore Divine Mercy on Divine Mercy Plus! https://divinemercyplus.org/?source=pod⛪️ Plan Your Visit to the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy!https://www.shrineofdivinemercy.org/?source=podFollow Us on Social Media!

Pharaoh said, "I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go." He was about to receive a masterclass in who Jehovah really is. But the real question isn't whether Pharaoh would let go—it's whether we are willing to let go of our own "Egypt." Summary: In this episode, we dive into the heart of the Exodus story (chapters 7–13). We move beyond the cinematic spectacles to find the deep, personal doctrine of repentance and redemption hidden within the plagues and the Passover. The War of the Gods: We analyze how each of the ten plagues was a specific "judgment against all the gods of Egypt," proving that Jehovah stands supreme over the Nile, the sun, and even life itself. The Hardening of the Heart: We clarify the JST corrections to the text—God didn't take away Pharaoh's agency; Pharaoh hardened his own heart, choosing pride over the "finger of God." Pharaoh's "Negotiations": We look at the four ways Pharaoh tried to compromise with Moses—and why "partial obedience" is just another form of bondage. The Passover Lamb: We explore the meticulous requirements of the Passover and how every element—the unblemished lamb, the bitter herbs, and the blood on the doorposts—points directly to the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Leaving Egypt for Good: We discuss the importance of not "leaving a forwarding address" for our sins. True deliverance requires us to go into the wilderness with no intention of looking back. Call-to-Action: Are there "shallow promises" you've made to the Lord that you keep falling back on when the pressure is off? How can the "Blood of the Lamb" help you fully exit your Egypt this week?
