I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 12th of June, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in Genesis 9:13: “I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.” Then we go to the Book of Hebrews 12:24:”…Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant,…” God gave us, you and me, the most beautiful sign in the sky that He would never ever flood the earth again. Now, being a farmer, I study the clouds, I study the weather, and after a beautiful shower of rain on a hot summer's afternoon, what do we see? We see a beautiful rainbow in the sky, a sign that the Lord has given to you and me that He will never flood the earth with water again, but God has now given us yet another even more powerful sign - a cross. You know folks, I want to tell you honestly, Jesus Christ has been made the Mediator (that is what it says in Hebrews) between God and ourselves. What is a mediator? Well, the Oxford Dictionary calls a mediator, a peacemaker, a go-between, a middleman, and that is what Jesus Christ is to you and I. I don't know how many and maybe a lot of you listening to this message have seen it as well - I have seen a cross in the sky. Oh yes, I have seen a cloud with a cross cut out of the cloud. Then I have seen a cloud in the form of a cross, not once, many times in our great outdoor meetings, and there are thousands of witnesses who have seen the same cross. That cross is a New Covenant between you and me and the Lord Jesus Christ. The Father sent His Son down to finish the job. “Go down Son, and be the final covenant between Myself and man.” If any man or woman, boy or girl, be in Christ Jesus, they are a new creation. So if you love Jesus Christ today, you have nothing to fear. When you see the rainbow in the sky, it is a beautiful reminder. Oh, but when you see the cross, you know that we have eternal life through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Have a beautiful day and continue to be a cloud watcher, because remember, at the end of the day, the Master is coming back in the clouds to take you and I home to be with Him in glory forever and ever, amen.

Contentment

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 4th of June, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Philippians 4:11. Paul says: “Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content…” I looked up the word “contentment” in the Oxford Dictionary. It is a state of peaceful happiness or satisfaction. Are you content today? Am I content today? I want to ask you a question, and the Lord has asked me the same question this very morning - how much is enough? As a young man, my dream was to own my own farm, and I thought that would bring me total contentment in life. Well, I worked myself to a standstill and eventually I owned my own farm. But I have got news for you young man. That did not bring contentment to me. I was still not satisfied! You know that King David had everything that he needed. He was the hero of Israel. As a young teenager, he slaughtered a giant with one stone. Oh yes! When he went to war, he came back with victories, the people used to worship him, praise him, sing songs to him. He had as many wives as he needed and he was still not content. If you look at Psalm 51:10, he says: “Create in me a clean heart, O God,And renew a steadfast spirit within me.Do not cast me away from Your presence,And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.”So David had everything, but he still was not content, then he went back to the Lord and he said, “Oh Lord, renew in me a clean heart”. I received a beautiful letter from a wife who is so grateful, sent to me just last night. Her husband was very sick and went into a coma. When he was in that coma, he heard a conversation with God, and God says he was never content with what he had, but God would give him one more chance, not because of anything that he had done but because of people who had prayed for him. That young man, I can tell you right now, has been given a second chance and he is totally content with his lot in life. “Now godliness with contentment is great gain.” 1 Timothy 6:6Be content with what you have, God will take care of everything else.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 27th of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. We go straight to the Gospel of John 15:7: “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.” Wow! Now that's powerful. Think about that. I looked up the Oxford Dictionary to find out the literal meaning of the word, “abide”. It means to accept or obey a rule or decision. So if you obey the word of God, if you as a believer do what God has called you to do, and when you go out and about, His word remains in your heart during the day, during the night, when you are about to write an examination, when you are going to start a new job, when you are endeavouring to do something you have never done before, if you keep the word of God in your heart, He says what you desire shall be done for you. Now, that is massive.As I walked into my prayer room early this morning, there was a message for me, and the message came all the way from Northern Ireland, from one of my spiritual sons, and he said, “Dad, Angus, I have just watched the movie, Faith Like Potatoes, and I want to encourage you and thank you for it because of what it means to me.” Now, as a young boy, my desire was to get the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the furthest points of Planet Earth, and I want to sit here and tell you in my little prayer room, that that desire of my heart is actually coming to pass in front of my very eyes and I have nothing to do with it. I just asked the Lord, many, many years ago, “Lord, I want you to use me to send the word to the furthest points of the planet Earth, and He is doing it.Today, if you keep the word of God close to your heart and you stay close to Him, then you are going to ask correctly, and He is going to answer you. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 26th of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go straight to the word of God, to the Book of Isaiah 53:3:“He is despised and rejected by men,A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.”I want to speak to you this morning about rejection. What is rejection? Well, according to the Oxford Dictionary it is to be shunned, to be cast off, to be turned down, to be snubbed, to become unpopular. Jesus knows exactly how you feel today, my dear friend. If you have been rejected, I know what it means, and I know what it feels like, but Jesus really knows. Not only does He know but He cares. He cares for you and most of all, He understands what you are going through.The great revivalist, George Whitefield, who lived in the 1770's said, “If you are going to walk with Jesus Christ, you are going to be opposed. In our days, to be a true Christian is really to become a scandal.” Now that is heavy going. Who is going to make you a scandal? It will probably be nominal christians, christians who say, “Lets live and let live and if that guy wants to live that lifestyle, leave him, and if that woman wants to do that, lets just have peace.” That's not what God called us to do. He called us to be salty, He called us to be different, He called us to stand up for truth and righteousness and give us a passion for lost people, hurting people, sick people and rejected people! DL Moody, another great evangelist said, tongue in cheek, but it is true, ‘If everybody has got something good to say about you, be sure, Jesus has got nothing good to say about you.” It's true, isn't it? Because if everybody has got something good to say about you, you are luke-warm, you are like salt that has lost it's flavour and is only good to be cast out in the street and trampled over. So be encouraged today if you are rejected because you are standing up for truth and righteousness, and know that the Lord is very proud of you and when He comes back to take us home with Him, He will recognise you.God bless you and goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 23rd of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Luke 6:42:”…how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye.”I am laughing because that applies to every single one of us, especially you, sir! You know folks, I love Jesus so much and His teachings are so simple and yet so profound. Remember, people who live in glass houses don't throw stones. Do not criticise, sort your own situation out before you start to criticise and become a hypocrite. Now, I looked up the Oxford Dictionary to find out the literal meaning of the word, “hypocrite”. It means “a person who pretends to have higher standards than they really have,” and that is you and I, isn't it? Let's be honest. I have one of my sons who is a very accomplished rugby coach. He has his full colours for Kwazulu-Natal for teaching schoolboys how to play rugby, and often he comes up and visits us on the farm (he is living down in Durban), and we have a little chuckle together. He says to me, “Dad, the main problem I have coaching rugby is not the little boys I have to teach. No, it's their mothers.” That's what he told me! He didn't say so much about the dads. Mom, you must listen up today. He said they stand on the sidelines, and they are telling their little boy that they must kick the ball, or pass the ball or that he must tackle, or that he is messing up the game plan. He said it gets so bad that he has told the little boys - by the way, it is not their fault - ”If you listen to your mother shouting from the sideline, I am going to substitute you for somebody else." That is harsh, hey? But that is what he has to do because otherwise the kids are listening to their parents who have never played rugby, and this young son of mine has got his full colours as a rugby coach! And of course, the little boys listen to the rugby coach and that is why he is so successful.Today, please let us, all of us, take the plank out of our own eyes before we start to tell other people how to live. Let's start doing what Jesus says and not what we think. Have a wonderful day,God bless you and goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 20th of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in 2 Corinthians 11:3: “But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ Jesus.” We have got to keep it simple, very simple. When the devil tempted Eve in the garden, he didn't say, “God said this…” No, he asked her the question in Genesis 3:1:“Has God (really, has He) indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?” You see, that is how the devil works, he doesn't attack you straight on. He plays with your mind. He says, “It's not that bad, is it?” We need to keep the Gospel simple. There is nothing difficult about the Gospel.I looked up the Oxford Dictionary to find out the literal meaning of the word, “simplicity” and one of the meanings is “clean lines”. Keep it clean, don't let it get congested. Hebrews 11:6 says that without faith you cannot please God, and he who believes must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. God said it, we believe it, that settles it. We must be careful that we are not too clever for our own good because the devil will help you along.A lot of people in South Africa are starting to write exams, whether it be for your final year in school or university, and I want to tell you about something called cheating. Cheating is a sin. You cannot cheat. “Aah”, you say, “but Uncle Angus, it is not going to hurt anybody else. It is just going to help me along.” No, what it is going to do, it is going to open the door for the devil to come in and play havoc with your life. Remember, there is nothing new under the sun - the wisest man who ever lived said that. “Did God really say...?” That is how the devil works. “Is it really going to hurt anybody? No - well, then do it!” I want to say to you today, you need to watch out for the slyness of the devil. I was taught when I was a new Christian, “Look out for the 3 “P's”. What are the 3 “P's”? It is not a joke. The first P is power. When you get power, you want more power because people listen to you and you start thinking that you are something when you are not. That is the first “P”. The second one is petticoats. I am talking to the men. Look out for the temptation of the devil. You shouldn't go anywhere with a woman who is not your wife by yourself, because of the temptation of the devil. “Aah, but it is just a one-night stand. No-one will find out.” Do you know how many letters I get from men who are broken because they let their wives down? It has destroyed their marriage. Then the pennies, chasing the money. Chasing the money, you don't pay your income tax. You think you are clever? I want to tell you something now, you will be caught out. That is exactly what happened to Eve in the Garden of Eden.Today, let's sharpen up our act and let's not give the devil a chance to move in. God bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

#490 Athlete Success Story Paul Hunziker Welcome Welcome to Episode #490 of the 303 Endurance Podcast. We're your hosts Coaches Rich Soares and April Spilde. Thanks for joining us for another week of interviews, coaching tips and discussion. I am personally very excited about this episode. I have had the privilege of coaching Paul Hunziker since August of 2024. It's not uncommon to have a new athlete and see their training history and see lower than planned training like missed workouts. Paul was the exact opposite. Paul is a workhorse and really needed a coach to reign him in rather than spur him on. Paul recently blew his estimated marathon time by more than 10 minutes with an exceptionally executed pacing and nutrition plan finishing in 3:14:13. We are going to have that interview for your today plus much, much more! Hi Rich! Man, I am so looking forward to talking with Paul and hearing about his marathon journey and all the growth in between! I am also stoked to watch IM 70.3 St George tomorrow morning AND race Fandango (not at the same time of course). Will you be tuning into St. George?

We took a temperature and it was 57 degrees. Laura took off like a champ and the rest of us got ice cream headaches. We then rode for about 2.5-3 hours in the park and then did our off-the-bike runs on the trails. Talk about a truly epic weekend! Whilst you all were out there tackling the ice cold waters of the Chatfield Reservoir, I was out there taming the wilds of Stage 3 of the Pike's Peak APEX! I had the hardest, most heart-pumping, adrenaline inducing ride of my life! I also had a bit of a spill.

As I said at the start, Paul Hunziker from Tacoma Washington has an incredible work ethic. When we charted his strategy for this year, it was clear he wanted to PR a marathon and finish an full-distance IRONMAN. He recently checked off the former and is now focused on the latter. Get Gritty Tip: Just Get Started Alright athletes, it's time to Get Gritty. Today's theme is simple—but powerful: just get started. Here's the truth: most goals don't fail because of a lack of talent. They fail because we wait for the “perfect time,” the “perfect plan,” or the “perfect mindset.” But perfection is a myth. If you're waiting for the stars to align before you take action—you'll be waiting forever. Getting started is where the transformation begins. It doesn't have to be a full-send workout. It can be putting on your running shoes. Opening your training plan. Logging that first 10-minute spin. One small step creates momentum, and momentum creates belief. Every big success story you admire? It started with one decision to move forward—often imperfectly. So the next time resistance whispers in your ear, “Not today,” or “You're not ready,” I want you to respond with action. Any action. Forward is forward. Because once you're in motion, everything changes. The path reveals itself, the confidence builds, and before you know it—you're becoming the athlete you imagined. So this week, don't overthink it. Just get gritty. And just get started. TriDot Workout of the Week: Workout Summary: Functional Threshold Test (20-minute) Session Note: Warmup 10 min @ Z2 with 3 x 30 sec (30 sec) Spinups and 3 x 1 min (1 min) @ Z4 Main Set 20 min - all out maximal effort Pacing Tip: Start at the average watts of your previous month's 20-minute. Use erg mode to control the effort. 1st 5' - hold that previous 20-minute average, 2nd 5' - slowly increment watts until you reach a perceived limit, 3rd 5' the same. Last 5' can be more aggressive. Be sure to enter/confirm your assessment results to update your training intensities and race projections. Fun Segment: Triathlon Fandango! A wild mix of multisport mayhem—where strategy meets spontaneity, and nothing goes according to plan! According to the Oxford Dictionary, a Fandango is a lively Spanish dance for two people, typically accompanied by castanets or tambourine. It can also be a foolish or useless act or thing. So with that context, are you ready for TRIATHLON FANDANGO! In this segment we'll throw a little controlled chaos into your training day! A ‘fandango' is usually a lively dance or an unpredictable situation… and let's be honest, that sounds a lot like your last transition, doesn't it? In this segment, we celebrate the unexpected moments, awkward moves, and off-the-cuff brilliance that only triathletes truly understand. Blockbuster Buoyancy You have to swim in a costume from your favorite movie—what do you choose and how do you make it hydrodynamic? Bonus points if it involves a cape, fins, or lightsaber. Snack Station Showdown Your only bike nutrition can come from gas station snacks. Build your fueling plan using three items and explain how they power your ride. (Yes, you can pick a taquito or tornado, but good luck with the aftermath.) Discipline Detour You must swap one triathlon leg with a totally unrelated skill—karate, chess, salsa dancing… what do you pick and why would it give you a competitive edge? Just imagine the T1 transition into a full tango. Bag Swap Roulette You have to trade your tri bag for a mystery duffel handed to you at check-in. What's the one item you're praying is inside—and what would send you straight into panic mode? Please let it be chamois cream… please. Celebrity Play-by-Play Your entire race will be commentated live by one celebrity. Who do you choose, and what kind of outrageous commentary are they dropping mid-race? Morgan Freeman narrating your port-a-potty stop? Iconic. And that's a wrap on this round of Triathlon Fandango—where the weird gets wilder, the hypothetical gets hilarious, and the only thing more unpredictable than your T1 socks is what we'll spin up next time. Got a ridiculous scenario you want us to tackle? Send it our way and keep the Fandango fun rolling. Until then, stay weird, race hard, and never underestimate the power of a good snack and a wild imagination! Closing: Thanks again for listening this week. Please be sure to follow us @303Triathlon and @grit2greatnessendurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment. We'd really appreciate it! Stay tuned, train informed, and enjoy the endurance journey!

These activists, writers, artists, and scholars used language to shape ideas and give voice to experiences that once had no name. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason.

Pourquoi dit-on que nous sommes dans l'ère de la post-vérité ?

Choses à Savoir

Depuis quelques années, on entend souvent dire que nous vivons dans une ère de la post-vérité. Une époque où les faits comptent moins que les émotions, où les opinions pèsent parfois plus lourd que les preuves, et où les fake news circulent plus vite que la vérité. Mais que signifie exactement cette expression, et pourquoi s'applique-t-elle à notre époque ?Une définition simpleLe terme “post-vérité” (ou post-truth en anglais) a été popularisé en 2016, au moment du Brexit et de la campagne présidentielle de Donald Trump. Il a même été élu mot de l'année par le Oxford Dictionary, qui le définit comme :“Une situation dans laquelle les faits objectifs ont moins d'influence sur l'opinion publique que les appels à l'émotion ou aux croyances personnelles.”Autrement dit, dans l'ère de la post-vérité, ce qu'on ressent ou croit peut avoir plus de poids que ce qu'on sait réellement.Des faits relégués au second planPrenons un exemple simple : si une information factuelle – comme un chiffre ou une étude scientifique – contredit une croyance personnelle ou une émotion forte, beaucoup de gens choisiront de ne pas y croire. Non pas parce que l'information est fausse, mais parce qu'elle dérange, heurte une conviction, ou ne s'aligne pas avec ce qu'ils veulent entendre.C'est ce phénomène qui rend la post-vérité si puissante — et si dangereuse. Elle repose non pas sur l'absence d'information, mais sur la remise en cause volontaire de la vérité, au profit de discours rassurants, polarisants ou émotionnellement efficaces.Le rôle d'Internet et des réseaux sociauxInternet a permis un accès massif à l'information, mais aussi à la désinformation. Sur les réseaux sociaux, chacun peut diffuser sa version des faits, qu'elle soit vraie ou non. Les algorithmes favorisent les contenus qui suscitent des réactions émotionnelles fortes, comme la peur, la colère ou l'indignation — souvent au détriment des contenus nuancés et factuels.Résultat : les “bulles de filtre” enferment les gens dans des univers d'opinion, où tout ce qu'ils voient confirme ce qu'ils pensent déjà.Une crise de confiance généraliséeEnfin, l'ère de la post-vérité reflète aussi une crise de confiance envers les institutions : médias, scientifiques, politiques. Quand les repères s'effondrent, tout devient discutable, même les faits les plus établis.En résumé : on parle d'ère de la post-vérité parce que, dans nos sociétés actuelles, les émotions, les croyances personnelles et les récits séduisants prennent souvent le pas sur les faits objectifs. Une réalité qui nous pousse à être plus vigilants, plus critiques… et plus curieux. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 30th of April, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Luke 5:16: “So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.” Who am I talking about here? I am talking about the Son of God, I am talking about Jesus Christ, I am talking about Immanuel - God with us. Now, if He had to do that, how much more should you and I be doing that? He did it often, not now and again. Oh my dear friend, I think this message is aimed more at me than it is at you! Contemplation - when you contemplate something. I looked up the Oxford Dictionary to find out the literal meaning of the word, “contemplate”. It means to look at thoughtfully, to think about, to think deeply and at length. It says that to contemplate is to look at, gaze at, stare at, view, regard, examine, inspect, observe, (are you getting the story?) survey, study. He contemplated. We need to ponder, you and I, how many times are we taking time out to think about the way forward? We don't, do we? We just go for it, we wing it. It is one of my favourite things and I hate myself for it. There is no time left in the world to wing it. We need to concentrate on something called time management. Remember Jesus was never late, He was never early, He was always spot on time. We think about Lazarus, His friend in the grave. “Lord, if You had come, my brother would have lived,” but the Lord commanded him to be raised from the dead. You know, it is first the mountain, and then the ministry, or your work or whatever else. If you don't spend time up the mountain, not a literal mountain, but time in the morning, praying, reading the word of God, and contemplating about what you are going to do that day, you will make some very poor decisions. Now, let us start to think.I remember, very clearly, sitting at the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, which separates Zambia from Zimbabwe, about to go across that river on a pontoon with that 20-ton Mercedes Benz truck for six weeks, leaving my young wife and children back on the farm. I was contemplating things very seriously, crying out to God to protect my family and He did. We need to hear from God first before we make any decisions. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 9th of April, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Luke 1:76:”And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; For you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,…” Zacharias was talking about his son, John the Baptist. Jesus said there has never been a man born from the womb of a woman, greater than John the Baptist. (Matthew 11:11)John the Baptist was a scout. Yes, a forerunner. I looked up the meaning of the word, “scout” in the Oxford Dictionary. It says “a person who is sent ahead to gather information about the enemy. Now when you are going into a new country, you always send your best man ahead. He prepares the way. That is what John the Baptist did for Jesus. He finds out the best route. He also finds out about the danger in that area and comes back and reports it. The Lord Jesus Christ has called you today, my dear friend, to be a scout, to be a forerunner, to be one who prepares the way for the people. We have an obligation. Our obligation is to lead the way. How do we do it? By our conduct, by our lifestyle, by our love and by warning people of the dangers ahead.Do you remember that old song? I think we have sung it before:I have decided to follow Jesus,I have decided to follow Jesus,I have decided to follow JesusNo turning back, praise the Lord, no turning back.The cross before me and the world behind me,The cross before me and the world behind me, The cross before me and the world behind me, No turning back, praise the Lord, no turning back.You and I are not turning back. Where are we going to go to? Back to Egypt? No, we are going forward. Where are we going? Our destination is Heaven. You and I are just travellers in this world, sojourners. Pick up your head and remember people are following you. Do not lead them down a dead-end alley, a cul-de-sac. Do not lead them into the enemy camp, but lead them in a place which is safe, a place where Jesus inhabits and they will thank you for that, and most of all Our Heavenly Father will be most proud of you.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 22nd of March, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Gospel of Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” What a beautiful reward awaits those who have been persecuted for their faith. I looked up the Oxford Dictionary to find out the literal meaning of the word, “persecuted” - it means that they are abused, they are victimised, they are ill-treated, they are tormented for their faith. Yes, they are intimidated. At the moment, we are so sad when we see in the news what is happening around the world, where Christian churches are being burned down in India and Christians are being martyred, and what have they done wrong? Nothing at all. Just because they say they are followers of Jesus Christ, they have to pay the ultimate price. We see in the DRC, people getting beheaded for their faith, hands tied behind their backs, a horrific thing. We see the Christians being martyred in Syria. Lord, please have mercy on Your people. But you know, I want to talk about a different kind of persecution which is maybe even worse. It happens sometimes in your home, oh yes, it happens at work, it happens at school, young girl, when your friends start to victimise you because you will not do what they do. You will not sleep around, you say, “I will wait for my husband until my wedding day” and they torment you and they persecute you when you will not partake of drugs and alcohol because you say it is against your faith. The young men make a fool of you, they say, “You are weak, you are a sissy.” That is persecution. What about when it happens in your very home? I knew a young boy who used to love going to church, but his family actually tormented him, they mocked him every time he got on his bicycle to go to church. “Where are you going? Off to church again?” He stood alone, he would get on his bicycle and even go to the evening services with a little light on the front of his bike, but he kept on going. He was persecuted in his own home but it made him strong, and I want to tell you that through his standpoint and because he never wavered, his whole family came to Christ.We need to understand that there is a price for our faith. It cost Jesus Christ His life on the Cross of Calvary. So you are asking me a question, “What do we do about it?” Well, there is only one thing we can do about it and it is found in 1 Thessalonians 5:17. Pray without ceasing.Pray for your persecutors, pray for those who torment you because they are blind. When Jesus died on the Cross, He said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” When they stoned Steven outside the city gate, he said, “Do not hold this sin against them today.” Let us pray for the persecuted church.Jesus bless you and goodbye.

According to the Oxford Dictionary: conscious knowledge of one's own character, feelings, motives, and desires. Character: Feelings: Motives: Desires: Have you ever stopped to truly reflect on how you see yourself and how that compares to how God sees you? Self-awareness is vital for spiritual growth and understanding God's will for our lives. It's actually pretty important as a human traveling through life with other humans! There is often a tension between how we see ourselves, how others see us and how God sees us. II. What is Self-Awareness from a Biblical Worldview? Definition of Self-Awareness: The ability to see and acknowledge one's thoughts, feelings, actions, and motivations in the light of God's truth. Understanding our identity in Christ, our strengths, weaknesses, and the call God has on our lives. Scriptural Foundation: Psalm 139:23-24: Romans 12:3: Self-awareness requires humility, recognizing both our value in Christ and the need for personal growth. We often focus on how we compare to those around us rather than to Jesus and who He calls us to be. Pride is easy when we look at others, humility is easy when we focus on Jesus. III. How Can We Become More Self-Aware? Daily Reflection and Prayer: James 1:5: Engage with Scripture: Hebrews 4:12: Seek Accountability and Fellowship: Proverbs 27:17: Practicing Confession and Repentance: 1 John 1:9: IV. Why Is Self-Awareness Important According to Scripture? For Personal Growth in Christlikeness: 2 Corinthians 13:5: Philippians 3:12-14: For Serving Others with Humility: Philippians 2:3-4: For Glorifying God: 1 Corinthians 10:31 Doctrine of the Month Understanding Theology, is crucial for discipleship because it shapes how we relate to God and others, guiding our lives and actions towards imitating Christ.

According to The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, the traditional association of St. Valentine's Day with courtship is likely connected with certain customs of the pagan festival Lupercalia. If so, this would be another example of Christians usurping a pagan holiday and Christianizing it for the glory of Christ.Hank also answers the following questions:Can you comment on Reza Aslan's book, Zealot, and his claim that there was no census at the time of Jesus' birth?

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 8th of February, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. We go to the Gospel of Mark 8:36: “For what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world [with all its pleasures], and forfeit his soul?” I want to say something to you today. You can take that scripture and say, “What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his family? - Because that is his life, isn't it? We must start at home base. John Wesley, the great revivalist, found that out. He went all the way to America to preach the Gospel to the First Nations people and he came all the way back home again, totally dejected. He never led one to Christ. But what happened? You see, he was looking in the wrong place. The revival must start in your own life and in your own home. In a little Bible study in London, in a place called Aldergate, he wrote: “A strange warmth came over my heart, the scales fell from my eyes.” I believe he met Jesus Christ in that little Bible study in a very personal way.Remember charity is another word for love, charity begins at home. Some men and women want to save the whole world at the price of their very own marriages and their very own families. Be very careful folks, your enthusiasm, your excitement, your determination, can sometimes cost very dearly at home. Remember the order: First God, second your wife or your husband, thirdly your children, then your community and then your country, in that order. Remember, Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and then the outer ends of the earth. Many of us are getting it the wrong way around. Now, I looked up the Oxford Dictionary to define the word “revival”. Well, it means restoration. Maybe that is going to start at home before we start telling others how to live. Resurrection - maybe you are feeling down and flat and you think by going out to the ends of the earth you will find it. No, it starts at home. Make strong again, bring back consciousness, a people saturated with God. That is what Wesley said revival was, but it has got to begin at home. Let's roll up our sleeves, sort out our differences, love our families and then God will do the rest. Jesus bless you and goodbye.

In this week's episode, we are exploring the historical record to better understand the difference between the facts of the historical record and the history-making and myths in Shakespeare's King Henry V. We will share brief biographies of the historical figures presented in Shakespeare's play and discuss how understanding where Shakespeare embellished or elided history can help us understand the values of the audiences of his day and how this understanding can potentially inform performances and readings of Shakespeare's play today.

Mountain Tops

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 27th of January, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.We go to the Gospel of Mark 9:5:”Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah” That was the Mount of Transfiguration when the Lord spoke to His Heavenly Father and also to Moses and Elijah. Peter, James and John must have stood there with their mouths wide open, not believing what they were seeing. It was so amazing that they did not want to go back down into the valley, where all the trouble is, and the pain and all the suffering and the misunderstanding. Have you ever had a mountain-top experience? Oh yes, I have as well, and you just don't want to come back down, do you? You just want to stay up there. You know, I am a mountain man, I love the mountains. My dear wife, Jill, loves the sea, and often we have a little giggle together. I say, “Jill, I love the mountains”, and she says, “Oh, but I love the sea.” And then I say, “Jill, Jesus never went down to the sea to pray!” But we cannot live on top of the mountain. We have got to go back down to the valley. We have got to roll up our sleeves. We have got to deal with things in our home, in our workplace. We have got to get involved. Moses went up the mountain, that's right, he went to Mount Sinai and he got orders from the Lord. He got the Ten Commandments and then he came back down again into the valley to deliver Jesus' message to the people. That mountain doesn't literally have to be a physical mountain. It's your closet, it is your quiet time place, it is where you spend time with Jesus every day. There is a thing called “extempore preaching”. I looked up the Oxford Dictionary. The word “extempore” means done without preparation, and to extemporise means to make something up as you go along. Now I am not arguing with the Oxford Dictionary but the great preachers would preach extempore preaching. In other words, they would take one verse out of the Bible, like Romans 1:17: “The just shall live by faith” - and they would preach on that for up to an hour and even longer. The young people would admire them and think they could do the same but what they didn't realise was that these great preachers had spent hours in their quiet time room getting the message into their spirit man and then simply go out into the open and deliver it to the people.Today, spend time up the mountain and then you will not make so many mistakes when you have to buy that new motorcar, or you have to sell that house, or you have to go to university, or go to trade school, or get married. Spend time on the mountain first. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

How to Cope with Toxic Behavior

Vedic Worldview

If you've noticed an increase in the use of the word “toxic” in relation to human behavior in recent years, you'd be right. Its use has become so prevalent, that Oxford Dictionaries named "toxic" as their Word of the Year in 2018. Oxford noted a 45% increase in lookups for the word on their website and observed its expanded usage beyond its literal meaning to describe various social and political issues.Of course, it's tempting to look for causes and attempt to fix them at the source. The rise in the use of social media, for example, has undoubtedly contributed to this increase, so we might be tempted to control toxicity there.Thom proposes a radically different cause in this episode, backing it up with a solution that puts us in control of potentially toxic behavior around us, rather than being at the mercy of it.Episode Highlights[00:45] Toxophilus - Poisoned Arrows[02:56] Source of All, Course of All, Goal of All[05:14] Too Big to Be Made Toxic[07:58] The Capacity to Be Toxified[09:21] Robust and Resilient[12:25] Overloads of Experience[14:19] Premature Cognitive Commitments[16:06] Unprecedented Rest Through Vedic Meditation[18:56] A Net Position of Structural Integrity[20:10] Attain to Personal InvincibilityUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/
