Full Text of ReadingsSecond Sunday of Easter Sunday of Divine Mercy Lectionary: 45The Saint of the day is Saint Louis Mary Grignion de MontfortSaint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort's Story Louis's life is inseparable from his efforts to promote genuine devotion to Mary, the mother of Jesus and mother of the Church. Totus tuus (“completely yours”) was Louis's personal motto; Pope John Paul II chose it as his episcopal motto. Born in the Breton village of Montfort, close to Rennes, France, as an adult Louis identified himself by the place of his baptism instead of his family name, Grignion. After being educated by the Jesuits and the Sulpicians, he was ordained a diocesan priest in 1700. Soon he began preaching parish missions throughout western France. His years of ministering to the poor prompted him to travel and live very simply, sometimes getting him into trouble with Church authorities. In his preaching, which attracted thousands of people back to the faith, Father Louis recommended frequent, even daily, Holy Communion—not the custom then!—and imitation of the Virgin Mary's ongoing acceptance of God's will for her life. Louis founded the Missionaries of the Company of Mary, for priests and brothers, and the Daughters of Wisdom, who cared especially for the sick. His book True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin has become a classic explanation of Marian devotion. Louis died in Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre, where a basilica has been erected in his honor. He was canonized in 1947, and his liturgical feast is celebrated on April 28. Reflection Like Mary, Louis experienced challenges in his efforts to follow Jesus. Opposed at times in his preaching and in his other ministries, Louis knew with Saint Paul, “Neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who causes the growth” (1 Corinthians 3:7). Any attempt to succeed by worldly standards runs the risk of betraying the Good News of Jesus. Mary is “the first and most perfect disciple,” as the late Sulpician Father Raymond Brown described her.

Luke 18:1-8 (See also Luke 11:5-8)Ephesians 6:10-13When we are born from above we begin our training to become a child of heaven, but most of the time He keeps us in this fallen world. He permits us to be opposed in many areas of our lives, even our prayer. We are not only temples of the Holy Spirit, but also retain our fallen nature or flesh. So there exists opposition from within and without in many areas of our lives and Christian walk. This parable as well as the accompanying passages illustrates these difficulties in praying, even if we are filled with the Spirit (Romans 8:26-28). Our main passage illustrates this by addressing an unfair balance of power: The powerless, weak widow (considered the least in a Patriarchal society) and the most powerful, an unjust judge. This judge illustrated here, neither feared God or cared for people, especially a poor, powerless widow. He didn't even care as to how he was perceived by society(verse 2). And it goes without saying, no lawyer would touch her case. But, the one characteristic this widow had that eventually the judge acquiesced to was her “importunity” or “bold” persistence”: She kept coming and coming with her plea, “grant me justice against my adversary”(verse 3) This stubborn, unjust, uncaring judge for sometime(long time) refused to hear her. Finally gave in for a very self-centered reason (verses 4-5). The NIV version implies that in his eyes she looked unbalanced: This self-centered, unjust, uncaring judge could only think of himself.The widow depicts, I think, the believer who is engaged in oppositional prayer, who has to persevere in order to finally get justice. But, what gives us hope from this parable and supports it's main theme or lesson i n Luke 18:1 is that the antagonist and judge is replaced by a supremely caring God and sustaining God(John 3:16) Who is eager to provide all our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19) but what He doesn't do is eliminate all opposition to our prayer existing in this fallen world(Ephesians 6:10-13).God is characterized in this parable as the total opposite of the unjust judge (note verses 6-8) But because we still pray in a fallen oppositional environment we still have to pray with a similar importunity and even desperation “crying out to HIm day and night” and it seems that “He also keeps putting them off”(Verse 7) but he's not, although He remains sovereign and He sets the time and manner of His responses to our prayers. Also He permits His children to be opposed by the world (Ephesians 6:100-13) These points require us to show boldness, perseverance and faith.1)This parable “Especially applicable to the Parousia: The 2nd coming, victory and judgments etc. This will be the greatest event in human history(Verse 8) But the lesson of this parable(See verse 1) can apply to other needs and events in our lives: while opposition will continue in our praying, God promises to provide what we need, in His time and manner but only if we faint not. (Galatians 6:9) It almost seems at times that God is opposing us: Seems opposite to reality for the wordsays (Philippians 4:19), He is our provider and sustainer, but in His time and manner.2) But while God is the opposite of the unjust judge, He still permits us to  be engaged in this sinful world full of unjust judges and by a similar importunity of the poor widow is needed, by us to face the oppositions from the devil, demons, and our sinful flesh: Ephesians 6. Consider again (Galatians 6:9) “if we faint or give up, because God is committed to meet all our needs and accomplish His goals for our lives, but there remains a straining required of us, against the world, the flesh and the devil. Read Philippians 3:12-14.3) And most importantly God promises to help us in our praying against these oppositional forces(note Romans 2:26-28; Hebrews 4:4-16)… He is

Luke 5:12-26

Have you ever tried to do exactly what God wanted you to do—only to run into obstacle after obstacle? You finally commit to growing in your faith, sharing the Gospel, or stepping into what God is calling you to do… and suddenly, everything seems to push back. Yeah. That's not a coincidence. In today's message, we're diving into Acts 13:1-12, where Paul and Barnabas are sent by the Holy Spirit on their first missionary journey—only to immediately run into opposition. But here's the thing: the Gospel is unstoppable. No amount of resistance can stand against what God is doing. We're going to talk about what that means for us today—how we can recognize spiritual opposition, stand firm in our calling, and trust that God always finishes what He starts. I'd love for you to listen and engage with this message. And if it speaks to you, share it with someone who needs encouragement. Let's grow in faith together.

John Knox's polemic “The First Blast of the Trumpet against the monstrous regiment of Women” Knox wrote that to promote a woman to bear rule, superiority, dominion or empire above any realm, nation or city is repugnant to nature, insulting to GOD and subversion of good order, equity, and justice. And John Knox, in keeping with the scripture, is exactly right. To promote women to rule as Senators, Presidents, lawyers, generals, and CEO's isn't an “agree to disagree” issue, it erodes the bedrock of stability and good order that is necessary for flourishing societies and cannot be tolerated. Nowhere is the truth of Knox's warning more visibly on display than in today's “conservative” “Christian” women in leadership. Take Kristan Hawkins, an “anti-abortion” activist and president of Students for Life of America for example. Here's a woman who has spent her life as a “conservative” in public service defending the unborn. But under just a little bit of scrutiny we discovered this week that she's a mother who is daily abandoning her own sick and dying children while living high on the hog off a $300k salary from donations. Then, when an abolition bill finally made it to the North Dakota Legislature, Ms. Hawkins and Students for Life vociferously OPPOSED equal protection for unborn children. If these are our champions, we're never going to make it.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

Today InPerspective with Dr. Harry Reeder January 23, 2025

The geography of first-century Israel plays a crucial role in understanding Jesus's ministry and the biblical text's context. When John writes that "Jesus went into Galilee," have you ever wondered where Jesus was before that? What was happening geographically when John the Baptist was baptizing and when Jesus called His first disciples? In this lesson, we'll explore the three major regions of first-century Israel: Judea in the south, Galilee in the north, and Samaria in the middle. These areas weren't just names on a map—they were home to distinct cultural and religious dynamics that deeply influenced the message and mission of Jesus. We'll also tackle a critical misunderstanding in John's Gospel. When John speaks of those who opposed Jesus, he uses a term that is often translated as "the Jews" in English. But does this refer to all Jewish people, or is he specifically pointing to the Judeans—those in the south near Jerusalem and the Temple authorities? This distinction has significant implications, especially given how the text has been misread throughout church history. Join us as we delve into the geographical, cultural, and theological layers of the Gospel of John to gain fresh insights into Jesus' ministry and message. ----------------------------------- www.figtreeteaching.com Support Fig Tree Ministries: https://donorbox.org/support-figtree-ministries Fig Tree Amazon Portal: https://amzn.to/3USMelI Lesson Handout: https://www.figtreeteaching.com/blog/the-jews-or-judeans-john-pt-16 Explore my digital notes on the Gospel of John, now available at the links below: Notes on John 1:43-52: https://www.figtreeteaching.com/blog/notes-on-john-143-52 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7mh4v8e7FDwOoPhQd7bz7Y YouTube: https://youtu.be/4FUOf3_IxCY Learn about the Zealots: Introduction to the Zealots: https://youtu.be/I5l47CP64KQ Politics that drove the Zealots: https://youtu.be/cp-yXWuFop0 The Zealous Disciples: https://youtu.be/Zlwcw6R_euQ

If God is for you, then no one can stand against you. But if He is against you, then you are fighting a losing battle. God was for David and He made him successful in everything he did. But when Saul grew jealous and tried to destroy David, God went against Saul and wouldn't let any of his schemes succeed. We want God on our side. But the only way to ensure that is to be on His side. We must align ourselves with Him. Then, He will be our greatest ally. But if we go against Him or His people then He will be against us.

Send us a textToday's Ask Me Anything question comes from Ellie. she says, "Sometimes I do feel uncommon as a believer, but your positive words help me get through tough situations. My parents are strong Christian believers who are both teachers. They are very knowledgeable about the world we are living in as teens. Through this, they are opposed to the idea of social media and the possible negative effects. I have recently moved school and feel like the odd one out that doesn't have a social account. I understand that my parents want what's best for me,  but I just want to feel included in some way.  I'm sure a lot of teen girls have this same question, one because I know several teen girls who don't have social media. I also know several other girls who have created social media accounts without their parent's knowledge. Please don't do this! What this does, is it breaks down your relationship with your parents, because all relationships thrive off of trust. If there is no trust, there is no relationship. Parents have their boundaries because they have your best interest in mind. You also said, “Sometimes I do feel uncommon as a believer.” Being uncommon isn't a bad thing, it's actually a pretty great thing! God needs you to be uncommon! If you were like everyone around you, nobody would ever see Jesus in you. What does it mean to be uncommon? It means not common, rare, above the ordinary, exceptional, and remarkable! Acts 4:13 is the verse that is the verse God gave me for UncommonTEEN. It says, “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned and untrained in the schools (they were common men with no educational advantages), they marveled; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus.” What made them uncommon was their relationship with Jesus, but just like with the disciples, the crowd looked at them and noticed that there was something different about them. That opened the door for them to share the Gospel with them, resulting in people getting saved.  When you are uncommon, people look at you and ask, “why are you so nice? Why are you full of peace when everyone else is going crazy? Why are you happy all the time?” That, just like with the disciples opens the door for you to share Jesus with them. It's okay to be different. It's okay not to have social media even if everyone else does. They may make fun of you but embrace that you are different and be confident in who you are in Christ.  Check out this week's episode to learn more about what you can do when your parents oppose social media, but you feel like the odd one out.  Ladies, we have had challenges recently with the UncommonTEEN App and had to close it down.

My girlfriend and I have been dating for almost 2 years now. She's in her second year of medical school. We both desire a chaste relationship. We both have a good understanding of the TOB but also fail to live it at times. Now that we've started to talk about marriage, sometimes she feels like she's ready but there are also times when she shares that she thinks she doesn't want to have children and to get married. Do you have any insights? I've been married for 19 years. My husband and I have four children. We attended a healing program after an affair 12 years ago and I had a tubal ligation after my fourth C-section when I was told it would be "unsafe" to have any more children. The Lord has been working in my life and my husband's over the past few years. I've been pursuing a tubal reversal but he is not in agreement. He will l not tell me no to do it because he says it is my body and doesn't want me to resent him. He is resistant and is comfortable with contraception. Do I continue to move forward with the reversal without his support? I'm currently going through a conversion process. I realize that I committed many sins in the past and I've made decisions to let go of certain things in my life. There's one thing, though, that keeps causing me anxiety every day. I'm in a committed relationship with my boyfriend and we've been together for three years and living together for 1 year. We're talking about marriage, but it won't happen anytime soon. He's not going through the same conversion process as me and is very skeptical towards the Church. Ironically, it has been his love and godly values that have drawn me closer to Jesus. He is a christian, but doesn't believe in the laws and so on. I'm scared of asking him for us to not have sex until we get married. I fear this will push him away from me and from our faith. I don't want to put our relationship on the line because I feel deep down that we were put together by God's will but I also don't want to keep sinning by having sex when I also know that that offends God.

Many believe that Christianity and science are fundamentally at odds, but historically they have not been in conflict. The core difference often lies in how Christians and non-Christians approach evidence. Christians believe God created the world, while others subscribe to the Big Bang theory. To think that order could emerge from chaos without a guiding force seems unscientific. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar talk about how in today's world, ideas are often repeated without deeper thought, and this pattern applies to the supposed conflict between science and faith as well.Early scientists were frequently Christians who sought to understand nature in the light of their faith. They believed that science would reveal how God's creation worked. Studying nature was a way to glorify God and align scientific discoveries with the Bible. Even today, many leading scientists believe in God or at least a higher power. Research indicates that around 50% of scientists hold some form of belief in God. The idea that all scientists are anti-religion is a stereotype that doesn't reflect reality. Many recognize the complexity of the universe as pointing to some kind of design, even if they don't fully adhere to religious teachings.Ray often engages non-believers by keeping his discussions simple and grounded in basic principles. The uniformity of nature, the laws of mathematics, and the predictable patterns of the world all suggest a Creator. Secular scientists struggle to explain these constants because they point to something beyond nature—a God who is constant and unchanging. These laws, which have existed since the beginning of time, are foundational for understanding the natural world, yet science alone cannot account for them. While intellectual debates and scientific explanations can be valuable, they do not lead to a deeper change of heart and an awareness of sin. God works in people's hearts in ways that go beyond human arguments and persuasion.Critics of Christianity often raise objections that are inconsistent with their own positions. For example, many secular thinkers struggle to explain the origins of the universe or moral laws, yet they criticize Christianity for its perceived inconsistencies. When engaging with non-believers, it's often more effective to appeal to their conscience rather than get stuck in endless debates over Bible verses or scientific facts.
