What stage are you in right now? What stage is this in the story of you,in the story of your unfoldment?Can you kiss it, the way God is kissing you?Can you look at it, the way God sees it? You have to keep discriminating between the real and the unreal.This, that you find yourself in was not sent to hurt you.It was sent to heal you.It was sent to help 'you' find 'You'.Relax more. Soften, even more.That's how you kiss the stage.That's how you allow the stage to make room for the next.In this relaxation,in this step back, this step away from the one you thought you were,"right action arises by itself."*Miracles, find you.

God as Spirit has no circumscribing name.Whether one refers to the Absolute as God or Iehovah or Brahman or Allah, that does not express Him. God the Creator and Father of all vibrates through nature as the eternal life, and that life has the sound of the great Amen or Aum. That name most accurately defines God."Those who believe on his name" means those who commune with that Aum sound, the voice of God in the Holy Ghost vibration. When one hears that name of God, that Cosmic Vibration, he is on his way to becoming a son of God, for in that sound his consciousness touches the immanent Christ Consciousness, which will introduce him to God, Cosmic Consciousness." - Yogananda, The Yoga of Jesus"A man sees a thing in one way through reasoning and in an altogether different way when God Himself shows it to him."-Bhagawan Sri Ramakrishna"Discouragement is not from God." - St. Ignatius of Loyola"You don't criticize the moon for not shining the same each nightyou don'tlook up at it and sayyou're not trying hard enoughbecause the moon doesn't have to be full and brightevery night to be lovedand neither do you." -Ida Banks"Let the mess inside your head settle. breathe. it's going to be okay." -Shweta"A mind that is fast is sick. A mind that is slow is sound. A mind that is still is Divine." -Sri Meher Baba"I do notWant to step so quicklyOver this sacred place on God's bodyThat is right beneath yourOwn footAs IDance withPrecious lifeToday." - Hafiz (translated by Ladinski)"READ THE GOSPEL ATTENTIVELY AND YOU WILL SEE THAT JESUS SACRIFICED EVEN CHARITY FOR PRAYER. AND DO YOU KNOW WHY? TO TEACH US THAT, WITHOUT GOD, WE ARE TOO POOR TO HELP THE POOR.ST. TERESA OF CALCUTTA"There really was such a thing as sickness, then there would have to be a lot of fighting to become healed. But since sickness doesn't really exist, by giving this up, by surrendering this feeling, this thought that there is sickness or lack or limitation or anything else, the One Power, the One Perfection, the One God, the One Reality, the One Pure Awareness shines through, and takes over, and you are made Whole." - Robert Adams

Deb Davis shares Wednesday's devotional podcast from Bible Fellowship Church. 

Four young adults. One God. Countless lessons in grace. In this inspiring group interview, discover how Maddalena, Sarah, Jeffrey, and Keith found healing, identity, and purpose through surrender to God's call to true education.

The message that Yogananda brought to the world was one of unity: the unity of all religions; the unity of science and religion; the unity of East and West; and the unity of all people: “world brotherhood.” His message is especially relevant today, as we see divisiveness—the spirit of “us against them”—dominating global politics and economics. Yet the light of Yogananda and this line of masters is not dimmed by human ignorance. In fact, it can shine even more brightly for those who try to live by it.

Surrounded by the Lords of Doom, Sanction sits as a testament to endurance. It has been held by every major faction in Krynn's history, so let's take a deeper look at this integral port city. You can buy Age of Mortals here: https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/557/age-of-mortals-3-5?affiliate_id=50797 https://youtu.be/9bMF0ncsuv0 Transcript Cold Open It was once held by the Dragonarmies and even features three temples and volcanoes, but in the Age of Mortals, it has taken a drastic turn. Intro Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. My name is Adam and today I am going to talk about Sanction. I would like to take a moment and thank the DLSaga YouTube members and Patreon patrons, and invite you to consider becoming a member or patron, you can even pick up Dragonlance media using my affiliate links in the description below. I am referencing The Atlas of the Dragonlance World, the Tales of the Lance Boxed Set, The Dragonlance Fifth Age Dramatic Supplement Game, and War of the Lance & Age of Mortals sourcebooks for this information. If I leave anything out or misspeak, please leave a comment below! Discussion On the northeastern shores of the New Sea, ringed by the jagged Khalkist Mountains and overshadowed by three howling volcanoes, stands a city whose very foundations tremble with fire. A city of lava-choked streets, ancient temples, hidden tunnels, and the beating heart of the Dragonarmies. This is Sanction—the City of Doom. Long before its name became synonymous with darkness, Sanction was a sturdy mountain town guarded by cliffs and blessed with a natural harbor sheltered by stone. It served as the eastern anchor of the Solamnic trade road, moving granite from its quarries and tar from its pits to the wider world. The Khalkist Mountains hemmed it in on three sides. Only two passes were widely known: North, through the plains of Estwilde, and East, along the road to Neraka. Yet mountain villagers whispered of a third path—a hidden trail climbing high across the shoulders of the peaks later known as the Lords of Doom. But everything changed when those mountains awakened. After the Cataclysm, the land convulsed. New chasms tore open. The sea surged inland to create the New Sea itself. And three monstrous volcanoes burst from the earth: the Northwest peak, Mount Thunderhorn, the Northeast peak, Mount Ashkir, and the Southeast peak, Mount Grishnor. Together, they towered nearly 4,000 feet above the city and even above the local Doom Range of the Khalkists. By 287 AC—sixty-five years before the War of the Lance—they were already active, spewing ash and fire into the sky as the stolen eggs of the metallic dragons were secreted into their fiery bowels. Whether the Cataclysm awakened them or created them outright remains a mystery. But their presence reshaped the city—and doomed it. By the time the Companions arrived, Sanction was a furnace. Widening streams of lava threaded directly through the city. Stone bridges arched over molten rivers. The air grew thick with fumes—hot enough that breath itself burned. What little flat ground remained was packed with misery and desperation. The streets were a maze of twisting alleys lined with: ancient warehouses near the docks, hastily built structures toward the east, brothels, slave markets, and slums, and rotting timber houses beside smoke-scoured stone. The central district—split in half by a major lava flow—was a sprawling slum and a favored haunt of the Dragonarmy troops. And above it all, three temples loomed on the volcanic slopes like the dark gods watching their sacrifice. When the Dragonarmies seized Sanction, they expanded far beyond the city's limits, raising three enormous military encampments on the mountainsides to the east: The Southern Camp with around 6,000 goblins, hobgoblins, and humans, and 500 tents. It was Hellishly hot, overcrowded, and chaotic. The Eastern Camp featured approximately 820 ogres, minotaurs, trolls, and hill giants, and 120 large tents, and it was a brutal, dangerous, but less crowded force. The Northern Camp featured approximately 3,000 draconians, and 230 tents, and was strict, orderly, and disciplined. These forces more than replaced the half of Sanction's original population that fled the volcanic devastation. The city was now the principal port and fortress of the Dragonarmies, surrounded by a ship blockade and fiercely guarded passes. And the true heart of that dark power lay within the three temples. On the slopes of the volcanoes stood three massive structures, each rising above the slums and smoke: The Temple of Huerzyd — The White Temple in the Northwest. It was the only pre-Cataclysmic temple in Sanction that was dedicated originally to the true gods. It was abandoned, neglected, and avoided by the Dragonarmies. It was secretly the heart of Shadowpeople culture. And below the temple, the Shadowpeople carved a labyrinth of rooms featuring 12 chambers, the great Shadowhall, six clan caverns, mushroom farms for sustenance, and three trapped tunnel passages extending under Sanction. These hidden ways allowed them to spy, assist prisoners, and ultimately save dragon eggs from corruption. The Temple of Duerghast — The Black Fortress in the Southeast, was dedicated post-Cataclysm to a false god of human sacrifice. Its upper levels included an arena, cages, and bloodsport chambers. The lower levels had cells, torture rooms, and execution chambers. The Dragonarmies repurposed it seamlessly. Shadowpeople carved tunnels behind one row of cells to rescue captives. Duerghast was a fortress of cruelty—perfect for tyranny. The Temple of Luerkhisis — The Dragon's Head is in the Northeast. It is the largest and most infamous temple. It is cut into the volcano in the shape of a vast dragon's head. This was the center of Takhisis's power in Sanction. Ariakas resided here during the War of the Lance, in a suite complete with a map room. After Ariakas's death, Kitiara took over his chambers and command. The upper levels held worship halls, libraries, and quarters converted for military use. But its darkest secret lay hidden in the bowels of the temple: The Chambers of Corruption Here, in five guarded rooms, the eggs of good dragons were perverted through dark rituals. In the sixth chamber, amid roaring firepots, stood the Altar of Corruption itself—the cradle of the draconians. And from here, a tunnel—known only to the Shadowpeople—crossed a bridge above the volcanic fire into the Cavern of the Old One, eldest and wisest of their race. Without these tunnels, the metallic dragons would never have been freed. Even after the war, Sanction remained a desperate, volcanic ruin filled with criminals, mercenaries, and the stern memory of tyranny. But after the Chaos War, a stranger arrived. A man cloaked in secrecy and resolve: Hogan Bight. Through means never fully explained—magic, pact, or sheer audacity—he calmed the volcanoes. Eruptions lessened. Lava flows shrank. And Sanction slowly became livable. Bight united wharf rats, ex-soldiers, sailors, and desperate citizens into a disciplined force. He brought law, order, and the beginnings of prosperity. Until Mina and the One God swept across Ansalon. Sanction fell again. Bight vanished. And the people suffered under divine tyranny. When the War of Souls ended, Hogan Bight returned—alive but changed—and resumed leadership of the battered, resilient city. Modern Sanction is a contradiction: It was born of fire, yet clinging to hope. It's surrounded by mountains, yet tied to the sea. It was defined by tyranny, yet strives for freedom. And it is scarred by tunnels, temples, and molten rivers, yet continuously is rebuilt. Its harbor remains fortified by natural cliffs. Its streets still wind through ash and stone. And the Lords of Doom continue to watch, eternal and ever-threatening. But Sanction survives. It always survives. From a peaceful trade town to a volcanic wasteland…from the laboratory of the Dragonarmies to the refuge of the Shadowpeople…from tyranny to reform, from fall to rise, again and again…Sanction endures as one of Ansalon's most dramatic stories of destruction and defiance. In the shadow of the Lords of Doom, The City of Doom refuses to die. Outro And that is all I have to say about Sanction. What do you think of this port city? Will evil ever reclaim it? And finally, will it have any import in the years following the Age of Mortals? Leave a comment below.

When I was writing The Islamic Mary, I became further interested in the field of Christian and Muslim dialogue and its relevance today and in the future. This led me to various books published on the topic, such as Amir Hussain's new book One God and Two Religions: Christians and Muslims as Neighbors. Amir's book is unique in that it speaks about Christians and Muslim worshipping the same God and living next to each other as neighbors. I sit down with Amir to discuss his spiritual biography, his new book and its implications for today's world.

Christmas lights make the darkest night feel bright and joyful. Where I live in Portland, Oregon it sparkles through the month of December with color and warmth. These lights they're temporary—we pack them away when the season ends. But there is another light that never fades. Jesus once said, “...I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you will not walk in darkness, because you will have the light of life, the light that leads to life.” Jesus isn't just a story, being born at Christmas—He's the Savior, the real One—God in flesh, who entered into the world that He created because He loves you. This Christmas, as you soak in the beauty of the lights around you, remember the true Light. You can receive His love and His hope right now. You can say, “Jesus, I need You. Shine Your light into my life. Come, I want to know You, and I will follow You all the days of my life.” Always remember, there is hope with God. Scripture Reference: John 8:12 radio.hopewithgod.com

Many Nations One God

QUOTES FOR REFLECTIONParagraph One: The Lord our God is but one only living and true God; whose subsistence is in and of Himself, infinite in being and perfection; whose essence cannot be comprehended by any but Himself; a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions, who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; who is immutable, immense, eternal, incomprehensible, almighty, every way infinite, most holy, most wise, most free, most absolute; working all things according to the counsel of His own immutable and most righteous will, for His own glory; most loving, gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin; the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him, and withal most just and terrible in His judgments, hating all sin, and who will by no means clear the guilty. Paragraph Two: God, having all life, glory, goodness, blessedness, in and of Himself, is alone in and unto Himself all-sufficient, not standing in need of any creature which He hath made, nor deriving any glory from them, but only manifesting His own glory in, by, unto, and upon them; He is the alone fountain of all being, of whom, through whom, and to whom are all things, and He hath most sovereign dominion over all creatures, to do by them, for them, or upon them, whatsoever Himself pleases; in His sight all things are open and manifest, His knowledge is infinite, infallible, and independent upon the creature, so as nothing is to Him contingent or uncertain; He is most holy in all His counsels, in all His works, and in all His commands; to Him is due from angels and men, whatsoever worship, service, or obedience, as creatures they owe unto the Creator, and whatever He is further pleased to require of them. Paragraph Three: In this divine and infinite Being there are three subsistences, the Father, the Word or Son, and Holy Spirit, of one substance, power, and eternity, each having the whole divine essence, yet the essence undivided: the Father is of none, neither begotten nor proceeding; the Son is eternally begotten of the Father; the Holy Spirit proceeding from the Father and the Son; all infinite, without beginning, therefore but one God, who is not to be divided in nature and being, but distinguished by several peculiar relative properties and personal relations; which doctrine of the Trinity is the foundation of all our communion with God, and comfortable dependence on Him.~“Of God and the Holy Trinity” in the 1689 Second London ConfessionSERMON PASSAGEDeuteronomy 6 (ESV) 4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.” Jeremiah 32 (ESV) 17 ‘Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.' John 1 (NIV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made…. 18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known. John 14 (ESV) 8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father'? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.”John 17 (ESV) 1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed. John 20 (ESV) 11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. 13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” 14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'” 18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her.

Series: N/AService: Lord's Supper EulogyType: EulogySpeaker: Joshua Jones

In the Gospel of John, Jesusused the word “Father” 126 times when He spoke of His relationship withGod. The last of the seven spiritual realities that Paul speaks of, that is theground of our unity, is “one God and Father of all who isabove all and through all and in you all” (v. 6). Nowinteresting Paul basically said the same thing to the church at  Corinth in 1 Corinthians 8:5-6: “... yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are allthings, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things,and through whom we live”. Paul often used this word Father when he referredto God. (Over 46 times in his epistles). Many times, Paul said, “God theFather”. He also said, “God and Father”. Then Paul would often say “Godour Father”.  “Godour Father”.That the God of the universe, the God who created all things. In a sense, theFather of everything that is in this world came and emanated from our CreatorGod. Yet, that truth doesn't make every one of us today one of His children.Because, as you know, we're told in Ephesians 2, that we are born “childrenof wrath, children of disobedience”. That means we are under the control ofour old nature, of Satan himself in a sense. We are alienated in our minds ourby our wicked works against a holy God (Colossians 1:21).  ButGod loves us so much (John 3:16). He wants us to be in His family. That's whyJohn 1:12 says, "But as many as receive Him, to them He gives thepower, the authority to become the children of God." Then in the bookof 1 John 3:1-2, John again reminds us of this awesome relationship we can havewith God with these words: “Behold what manner of love the Father hasbestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! … Beloved, now we arechildren of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we knowthat when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is”.Wow! What love and what a great promise!!!! This is the truth of thespiritual reality that anyone, anywhere, can experience when they believe andtrust the Lord Jesus Christ to be their personal Lord and Savior! Paulin Romans 8:14-17, puts it this way: “For as many as are led by the Spiritof God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondageagain to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out,"Abba, Father." The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit thatwe are children of God, and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and jointheirs with Christ…”  Inour despair and pain we can “cry Abba Father, dear Father, daddy Father”. Weare close to Him. He is a Father who cares for us, who loves us, who draws usnear to His bosom, who holds us close. “He is Father of mercies and the God ofall comfort," (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).Oh, what an awesome Father God that you and I have who cares for us so deeplythat He would send His Son, His only Son. He's the Father of our Lord JesusChrist in the trinity. He is Father of us as we trust Him to be our Lord andSavior. Oh my friend, you can call Him, “my Father”. The Lord's prayerteaches us to pray “Our Father who art in heaven”. Why? Because againit's speaking of the unity of believers.  So,in these seven spiritual realities that Paul points out, we have the purity ofour doctrine. Oh my friend, that's who weneed to worship. The true, the living God, the God who sent His Son, JesusChrist. Be encouraged today if you're a believer. Despite what else ishappening around you, what's going on that might be bad or tragic in your life,God can be your Father today. He loves you. He cares for you. He yearns for youto come to Him with all your needs, with all your hurts, with all your pain.He's ready to heal them through His Holy Spirit and through the blood of JesusChrist He will cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Would you come to Himtoday? He's waiting for you just as the father waited for the prodigal sonthere in Luke 15.

A befuddled student asked apologist Wes Huff about how to make sense of the Trinity. Huff’s answer has gone viral (also here and here). Obviously, Christians are enjoying and sharing Huff’s answer. But how helpful of an answer is it? Is this an answer that is going to help a thinking Christian love God with all her mind? Does it point her to the relevant biblical teachings? Unfortunately, as Michael and I explain, for a number of reasons Huff’s answer is not helpful to the informed, Scripture-loving truth-seeker. Just after the 48 minutes mark (52 minutes in the video below) I challenge Wes Huff to a debate on whether the one God in the New Testament or the Father alone. For these reasons, he probably will not debate me. But the Christian public who relies on Huff’s Trinity “answers” needs some better information, and to hear the unitarian Christian side of the case. If he does decide to accept the challenge, here is my recently updated starter pack for understanding my views. As we recorded this video, I thought that perhaps it’s unfair to critique Huff’s Trinity thoughts based on an off-the-cuff answer. So in the next two episodes I’m going to interact with two other videos where he states his views at length and fully rehearsed. Perhaps those will fare better?

Discussion QuestionsSermon Overview Come to God, trusting not in yourself, but in Jesus. God's saving mercy and grace are only for those who know they don't deserve it.Digging Deeper    Read Luke 18:9-141. In our passage, the Pharisee comes to God trusting in himself (and how good he is). Where do we see this in the text?2. What are subtle or obvious ways we can trust ourselves instead of Jesus?3. “Whenever we feel God does not love us because we have failed, we have adopted the Pharisee's approach.” Do you experience this? If so, how can you respond to these feelings? How can we help each other?4. One of the ways Pharisee-like self-righteousness reveals itself is in a propensity to treat others with contempt (cf. v.9b). Reflect on some of the words (and tone) you have used with others around you in the past. Do you see any supporting evidence that you may have, at times, been guilty of treating others with contempt?  What heart-level attitudes might such words reveal? 5. How tempted are you to compare yourself with others to determine how good or bad you are? A lot? A little? Something else?6. What's the problem with assessing yourself based on comparison to others?7. How easy is it to view yourself like the tax collector, claiming no righteousness of your own?8. It was said in the sermon, “... we are all far more sinful than we think. And it is only when we grasp this that we can receive the good news.” What was meant by this?  Do you agree?       9. How might we use this parable (and the truths it teaches) to engage with unbelievers about the good news of the Gospel?   10. What one specific application from this passage might God want you to consider and take with you into the week ahead?  Please share. Prayer

Welcome back to the Motion Church Podcast. Last week, we uncovered the quiet war inside the human mind — that tension between faith and fear… conviction and compromise… the fractured pull of being double minded. But this week, we go even deeper. Because the battle doesn't end with awareness — it continues in the choices we make, the patterns we repeat, and the thoughts we allow to take root. In the caption file for this week's message, we hear a steady reminder: Your mind is shaping your life more than you realize. And the enemy knows that if he can divide your thoughts, he can derail your purpose. The teaching begins with a challenge: stop giving the wrong voices authority in your life. Stop letting the loudest opinion set the direction of your faith. Stop letting yesterday's pain make today's decisions. Every divided thought, every wavering commitment, every moment spent going back and forth — it costs something. It steals clarity. It steals peace. It steals momentum. But God does not leave us in that chaos. The message this week clarifies that spiritual stability begins with mental surrender — bringing every thought under Christ, aligning the heart with truth, and refusing to serve two masters. Throughout the teaching, we're reminded that: A double-minded life leads to double-minded results. You cannot walk in confidence while feeding your doubt. And you cannot expect the fruit of faith while planting the seeds of fear. This week is a call — a strong, unmistakable call — to realign your mind. To choose one voice. One truth. One direction. One God. So settle in, open your heart, and let the Word steady you. This is the journey toward wholeness, toward clarity, toward spiritual stability. Welcome to Motion Church. Welcome to Week Two of “Double Minded.” Let's dive into the message.

The Nicene Creed is the definitive statement defining Christianity for most Christians, around the world, throughout most of time. Love it or hate it, the Creed binds us together. And since our entire project at And Also With You is reclaiming an ancient Christian faith for modern Christian life, we thought it time to dive deep into this Creed -- to show how this 1700 year old prayer holds up and how we are following it still today. And it opens with a banger: We believe in One God. But in... three persons? What does that mean, exactly? How does faith in the Trinity inform our life? Like, does it matter that we say this? (It clearly does, we say it a lot but ... why?) +++Like what you hear?

What happens when we get the order wrong? Just like math, when our priorities are out of order, the result is chaos. In this message, Pastor Jamie Grisham unpacks what it truly means to put God first, not just with our finances, but in every area of our lives.This isn't a message about money, it's a message about the heart, obedience, commitment, stewardship, and trusting God's order. When we honor God with our first, He blesses the rest.Key Verse: Luke 16:1–13“Give an account of your stewardship…”Main Points:• God owns it all, I steward it.• Faith is found in the first.• Don't eat what's meant to be planted.• You can't expect by promise what you deny by principle.• The enemy is after your seed, your first.Big Idea:Tithing isn't about giving something to God, it's about giving God your first and trusting Him with the rest.Join us as we learn how God Math works, when we put God first, everything else falls into place.FOLLOW US!WEBSITE: https://www.compassiondickson.church/FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/compassiondicksonINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/compassionchurchdickson?igsh=eXp3Mm9ubG81aTQx&utm_source=qrSunday Extended Podcast: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRTsMFJ4TR5xa0PahwBjfzWK772IOi9G8&si=lsIu5iqaQwl79Jwj

From Pastor David Peck | A short study on the biblical call to be in and not of the world in our time and place.

1 Kings 19. This chapter of 1 Kings recounts how the prophet Elijah flees a death threat and is overcome with doubt. In this sermon, Evangelist Gavin Williams explores how, on Mount Horeb, God comforts and encourages Elijah.

1 Kings 18. There are many Bible stories that involve a mountain. This chapter in 1 Kings recounts the time Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. In this study, Evangelist Gavin Williams examines how God demonstrated His power on Mount Carmel and rained His blessings on Elijah and the people.

Malachi Tresler. Deuteronomy 6:4. "The Father is the source of all things—life begins with Him, and our worship belongs to Him."

Send us a textEver wondered how Christians can confess one God while worshiping the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit? We take a slow, careful walk through Scripture to show why the Bible leads us to a triune confession without turning God into parts or faces of a single person. With a pastor's tone and a student's humility, we map the clear boundaries: three divine persons, one indivisible essence, acting inseparably in creation, providence, and redemption.We start by defining the Godhead and why equality of eternity and deity must be held for Father, Son, and Spirit. From there, we trace the distinct roles in salvation—election by the Father, redemption by the Son, regeneration by the Holy Spirit—showing how unity and distinction live together in the same gospel. Along the way, we address common pitfalls like modalism and the “Jesus only” movement, explaining why the Bible's personal language for the Spirit and the Son rules out a single-person God who changes forms.To anchor the conversation, we open key texts: Elohim in Genesis 1, “Let us make man,” the confusion at Babel, and the Shema in Deuteronomy 6, read carefully to show how God's oneness does not erase the hints of plurality. We also talk about why terms like Trinity or triune can be useful even if they aren't in the Bible, just as believers use words like “millennium” or “rapture” as shorthand for clear biblical ideas. Because no analogy can capture the uncreated God, we end by commending a posture of faith, repentance, and humility—receiving what God has revealed and refusing to force what he has not.If this helped you see the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit with fresh clarity, follow the show, share this episode with a friend who's wrestling with the Trinity, and leave a review telling us which passage most changed your perspective.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Transcript:Hello, this is Pastor Don Willeman of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome to The Kingdom Perspective. According to classical Christian teaching, at the very source of reality, we find a perfect and eternal relationship of self-giving love. A divine community (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) in an infinite, mutual, self-giving relationship—perfectly and equally sharing being and joy before all time. One God in three self-giving Persons, and three self-giving Person in One God. This is the very Fountain of all Love! It was out of the overflow of this fountain, God made the world. And so, all creation is a theater of God's glorious love. This is especially true with human beings, for we alone are made in the very image of this love. In the light of this truth, we see more clearly the biblical concept of sin. In making us in His image, God meant for us to find our life in His self-giving Love. However, sin broke that relationship. Sin a dis-ease, a dis-harmony with the source of love. A cosmic relational breach with devastating consequences! We have no life apart from the Triune love of God, for we were made from it and for it. God designed us to feast on His self-giving love and reflect it in our relationships with others. Indeed, to be a “person”, like God, is to live in communion with God and others. And so, any “person”, any “self”, that does not exist to serve and give themselves away for others is a corruption of what it means to even be a “person”—indeed, what it means to be made in the image of God. And that's something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective. “At that time Jesus declared, ‘I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.'”~ Matthew 11:25-30 (ESV)

Dr. Adam Francisco, author, “One God, Many Gods” One God, Many Gods One Word, Many Writings The post The Place of Abraham in Christianity, Judaism and Islam – Dr. Adam Francisco, 10/21/25 (2943) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

The life of young Joseph is an account of ups and downs; mountains and valleys. But God sent him and used him. God can use us through the ONE He sent—Christ.

As Christians we believe in one God who is supreme over everything and sufficient to sustain all life including you and me. He is not only worthy, but deserving of all praise and worship.

Questions about the Trinity are often asked this way:     •    Is the word “Trinity” in the Bible?     •    Do Christians worship three Gods?     •    Was “Trinity” invented by the Church?     •    Isn't the notion of “Trinity” irrational?     •    Don't you think this is a minor issue? Pastor digs into the question of the Trinity by starting at the beginning, in Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” In Hebrew the word for God that is used in this verse is Elohim. Elohim is a plural noun. God is being described in plural terms! Genesis 1:2 “Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.” In Hebrew the Spirit of God is “Ruah Elohim”. This is describing God as the Holy Spirit.  Genesis 1:3 “And God said, “Let there be light, and there was light.” The word that stands out here is “said”.  Observation: Genesis 1     1.    Plural noun for God the Creator     2.    Spirit of God involved in Creation     3.    God's Word brings forth the Creation This three-fold pattern continues throughout the Hebrew Scriptures:     1.    Father - Deuteronomy 32:6 “Is He not your Father, your Creator, who made you and formed you?”     2.    Spirit - Job 33:4 “The Spirit of God has made me, the breath of the Almighty gives me life.”     3.    Word - Psalm 33:6 “By the Word of the Lord the heavens were made and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.”     But the Old Testament also says there is but ONE God. Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel; The LORD our God, the LORD is one.”   And yet one God is describe in a multiplicity of terms. One God and three very distinct Persons. This pattern continues in the New Testament:     1.    Father - 1 Peter 1:2 “…chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father.”     2.    Spirit - Acts 5:3-4 “…you have lied to the Holy Spirit…you have not lied just to human beings but to God.”     3.    Word - John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”  In John 1:14 we read more about the Word, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”  THE WORD is none other than Jesus, Himself. The Bible sets forth clearly that the One God has revealed Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Jesus says in Matthew 28:19 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…”    The word that stands out in this verse is the word NAME - singular - yet THREE are named. 2 Corinthians 13:14 “May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”   This is clear Biblical teaching that the One true God has revealed Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God is complex!!! His ways are higher than ours! God who created us….     •    Planned to Save us (God knew we would wander away from Him, but His plan from the beginning was save us)     •    Came to Save us (we cannot save ourselves, we need a divine rescue. Our Divine Rescuer is Jesus who came to earth taking on human flesh and enduring the cross)     •    Dwells in us to Save us (the God who created us dwells in us, brings us to faith, changes hearts, gives power and testifies to Jesus the Savior) God works as a unity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - each unique and distinct but also uniquely ONE.   Is the word “Trinity” in the Bible? The word is not but “the Trinity” is found: Father, Son and Holy Spirit in both Old and New Testaments. Do Christians worship three Gods? No, there is but ONE God, but has revealed Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We do not need to comprehend this to know God's power and presence and truth.  Was “Trinity” invented by the Church?  The term is invented but The TRUTH of THE TRINITY has been there since the beginning. Isn't the notion of “Trinity” irrational? This is a profound mystery, but not irrational. Pastor shares a lesson from Dr. Walter Martin and the Triple Point of Water where water is solid, gas and liquid all at one time. Three yet one. Is it irrational that the God of the universe can “three yet one.” Don't you think this is a minor issue? No because when we start ignoring what God says about Himself and what the Bible teaches we go into false teaching and false testimony. This is where false religions come in. We're living in a culture that has walked from God and it is disastrous. This is NOT a minor issue - God is above ALL things and He is worthy of our worship and praise. Now What?

Transcript:Hello this is Pastor Don of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome to The Kingdom Perspective. If we were to peel back the universe to see what's underneath it—to discover the very source of reality—we would not find a mathematical formula, nor a scientific theory, nor a moral to do list, nor even a theological doctrinal statement. All these are good and necessary in their place, but they are not ultimate. Rather, if we were to peer into what's beyond and behind creation, we would find a perfect, eternal, untainted relationship of self-giving love. A divine community (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) in an infinite, mutual, self-giving relationship—perfectly and equally sharing being and infinite delight before all time. One God in three Persons, and three Persons in One God. Now, what does this mean? Well, most basically, it means love is real. As Christians, we do not have a thin and sentimental view of love. Love is not a mere feeling we experience. Love exists apart from our feelings. Indeed, it exists apart from and prior to all else. Love is more real that time, for love is in the very essence of God. God exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in a relationship of self-giving love. In making us in His image, God meant for us to share in the glory of this love. He meant for us to find our life in the overflow of His Triune love. He meant for us to reflect His self-giving love in our all our relationships. He meant for us to feast upon the infinite abundance of this love and lavish it upon others. That's something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective. “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.”~ 1 John 4:7-14 (NASB95)

The creed's first article makes plain the biblical idea that God is the Father. Whatever our earthly father is like, God the Father is so much better.

"One God, One Mediator, One Ransom for All" Charlie Woodward, 10.12.25 by

2025 marks the 1700th Anniversary of the formulation of the Council of Nicaea, which was a theological council to address theological issues in the churches around the world. The Council delivered to us a formulation of the Nicene Creed which is a summary of the New Testament priorities about the Christian faith. Through various Biblical passages, we are going to consider the points of the Nicene Creed hoping to discover the essential uniting truths of the Christian faith in order to make life decisions based upon Christian convictions that may challenge cultural interpretations and assumptions.

Wednesday Night Worship Service - October 8th, 2025 Student Pastor Jordon Frye One God One Way Ephesians 4

10/05/2025 Our God is the Father of all fathers, the uncaused cause of everything, who creates and sustains out of self-giving love.

The functional path of oneness is not an abstract unity but a lived encounter of utter dependence. Western thought, enslaved by the grammar of the Anglo-Saxons, treats the human as an individual: a self-contained atom, an object unto itself. It imagines freedom as isolation, and isolation as freedom. But this supposed independence becomes sterility: the atomized person, cut off from the Shepherd's breath, is lost in a sea of thorns, choked by its own irrelevance.True independence lies not in the language of atoms but in the biology of divine anatomies, in the irreducibility of God's living functions. The Semitic root does not define a solitary “one” but a functional, dependent, and connected one. Every creature is undoubtedly one, yet cannot sustain itself any more than a cell can live apart from the body.As the body cannot live without its head, the tree without the earth withers.The triliteral root—three consonants binding the Tree of Life to the Master who gives it breath—embodies this living unity. Each consonant functions only in relation to the others; none can speak alone. Like branches drawing life through hidden roots, utility flows from dependence on him, not autonomy.In this linguistic body, the Semitic scrolls convey the unity of divine oneness: connection without possession, coherence without control. To be yaḥid is to be fragile, dependent, and open without self-reference: the earthen vessel through which the breath of ha-ʾEḥad flows.Western language, by contrast, breeds an unconscious polytheism of the self. When every person becomes an independent atom, the world fills with gods. Each will asserts its own dominion; each word competes for sovereignty. Polytheism, at its base, is war: the multiplication of possessive wills in endless collision. The Lukan crowd becomes a pantheon of thorns, a battlefield of competing gods. The soil of faith is twisted into a field of confrontation, where the multitude gathers against the Lord and his Christ to suffocate the one who brings the life-giving breath of his instruction.Yet within that suffocating crowd stands the yaḥid, Jairus, whose “only daughter”—his yeḥidah—lies dying. His lineage collapses; his name withers. Yet in this desolation, he does not press or grasp; he kneels before the “one.” There, in the stillness of dependence, the breath returns, and the Shepherd that the cares of this life cannot choke breathes life into the earthen vessel that has ceased to strive.μονογενής (monogenes) / י־ח־ד (yod-ḥet-dalet) / و-ح-د (wāw-ḥāʾ-dāl)One and only; single of its kind; only-born; only, only one, solitary, unique.“She was his only one [יְחִידָה (yeḥidah)]; he had no other son or daughter.” (Judges 11:34 )Here יָחִיד (yaḥid) expresses the fragility of the earthen vessel. In verse 34, the human line rests upon a single, irreplaceable life. Jephthah's entire legacy depends on his yeḥidah; when she is offered, the limits of family and human continuity are laid bare. The father's grief, bound to his only daughter, exposes the futility of lineage and the inevitability of dependence on God. The yaḥid becomes the mirror through which the insufficiency of man encounters the sufficiency of God.“Deliver my life from the sword, my only one [יְחִידָתִי (yeḥidati)] from the power of the dog.” (Psalm 22:21) LXX 21David cries from the edge of annihilation. His yeḥidati (“my only one”) refers to his only life (nefeš). He stands surrounded by predators, stripped of every defense, holding nothing but the breath that God alone can sustain. In that setting, ha-yaḥid encounters ha-ʾEḥad; the singular human breath encounters the One God who gives it breath. The weakness of the individual, the threatened “only life”, is the functional context of י־ח־ד (yod-ḥet-dalet) where triliteral replaces human vulnerability with God's sufficiency.“Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am alone [יָחִיד (yaḥid)] and afflicted.” (Psalm 25:16 ) LXX 24Here, yaḥid is not emotional loneliness but martial isolation: the condition of a soldier or supplicant with no human ally, no support, no constituency. The psalmist is cut off from every network of defense; he stands as the yaḥid before ha-ʾEḥad. His solitude is not inward melancholy but strategic exposure. He is a man encircled and undone, left with no strength but God's. In that position, the oneness of God supplants the weakness of the individual, and dependence itself becomes the ground of divine action.“Rescue my life from their ravages, my only one [יְחִידָתִי (yeḥidati)] from the lions.” (Psalm 35:17) LXX 34The psalmist again names his life (nefeš) his yeḥidah: his one, irreplaceable self surrounded by devouring forces. This cry is not heroic but helpless; the yaḥid has no shield, no strength, no tribe. He stands as the fragile earthen vessel awaiting rescue from the ʾEḥad who alone grants and restores the breath of life.“They have taken their rabbis and monks as lords besides God and the Messiah, son of Mary; yet they were commanded to worship One God [إِلَـٰهًۭا وَاحِدًۭا (ʾilāhan wāḥidan)]. There is no god but he. Glory be to him above what they associate with him.” (Qurʾan, Surat al-Tawba سورة التوبة “The Repentance” 9:31)The yaḥid stands before al-Wāḥid as a fragile vessel, emptied of pretense, whose worth lies not in possession or inheritance but in exposure. To be yaḥid is to stand alone—not because one has chosen solitude, but because every other support has failed. It is the state of Jairus in Luke 8:42, David in Psalm 22:21, and Jephthah in Judges 11:34—each reduced to dependence, each holding a single, irreplaceable life before the one who gives it.Yet the religious mind, ancient and modern alike, mistakes the vessel for the seed. It clings to fleeting human breath instead of to the one who gives breath. This is what Qurʾan 9:31 exposes in its indictment of clericalism: those who mistake the earthen vessel, which passes away, for the words of God, which do not.This is also the folly of the crowds in Luke 8. They gather not to hear the divine instruction but to choke it—to smother the seed because it threatens their economy of possession. They are the ʿedah, the swarm around death. They handle Jesus like a toy, fascinated with what can be held, pressed, traded, and measured; they prefer the earthen vessel to the living seed. They worship the perishable container rather than the imperishable Word, the finite dust rather than הָאֶחָד (ha-ʾEḥad), the one from whom all life flows.But the yaḥid—the one left with nothing—sees through the mirage. Standing before al-Wāḥid, Jairus discovers that what endures is not clay but command. The earthen vessel passes away; but the Word of God abides forever.συμπνίγω (sympnigo)To press in so tightly that one can barely breathe; to crowd around or press hard against; to suffocate.“The one sown among the thorns, this is the one who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke [συμπνίγει (sympnigei)] the word, and it becomes unfruitful.” (Matthew 13:22)
