Vi reder ut begreppen kring det här med olika funktionsnedsättningar efter bästa förmåga och konstaterar att det lätt blir snårigt. Pontus pekar på riskerna med att slänga sig med förkortningar och menar bland annat att man lätt missar poängen med givna diagnoser. Tomas inser i realtid vinsten av och ansvaret att som personal själv undersöka vilka diagnoser de deltagare man jobbar med har, och vad de egentligen innebär.

사도행전 (Acts) 18:1-17 [새번역/ESV] 고린도 가운데서 머물다 Paul Stayed in Corinth 사도행전 시리즈 50 2025-04-06 주일 예배 설교 사도행전 (Acts) 18:1-17 [새번역/ESV] 1 그 뒤에 바울은 아테네를 떠나서, 고린도로 갔다. After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. 2 거기서 그는 본도 태생인 아굴라라는 유대 사람을 만났다. 아굴라는 글라우디오 황제가 모든 유대 사람에게 로마를 떠나라는 칙령을 내렸기 때문에, 얼마 전에 그의 아내 브리스길라와 함께 이탈리아에서 온 사람이다. 바울은 그들을 찾아갔는데, And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them, 3 생업이 서로 같으므로, 바울은 그들 집에 묵으면서 함께 일을 하였다. 그들의 직업은 천막을 만드는 일이었다. and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade. 4 바울은 안식일마다 회당에서 토론을 벌이고, 유대 사람과 그리스 사람을 설득하려 하였다. And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks. 5 실라와 디모데가 마케도니아에서 내려온 뒤로는, 바울은 오직 말씀을 전하는 일에만 힘을 쓰고, 예수가 그리스도이심을 유대 사람들에게 밝혀 증언하였다. When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus. 6 그러나 유대 사람들이 반대하고 비방하므로, 바울은 그의 옷에서 먼지를 떨고서, 그들에게 말하였다. "여러분이 멸망을 받으면, 그것은 오로지 여러분의 책임이지 나의 잘못은 아닙니다. 이제 나는 이방 사람에게로 가겠습니다." And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” 7 바울은 거기를 떠나서, 디디오 유스도라는 사람의 집으로 갔는데, 그는 이방 사람으로서, 하나님을 공경하는 사람이고, 그의 집은 바로 회당 옆에 있었다. And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God. His house was next door to the synagogue. 8 회당장인 그리스보는 그의 온 집안 식구와 함께 주님을 믿는 신자가 되었다. 그리고 고린도 사람 가운데서도 많은 사람이 바울의 말을 듣고서, 믿고 세례를 받았다. Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized. 9 그런데 어느 날 밤에, 환상 가운데 주님께서 바울에게 말씀하셨다. "무서워하지 말아라. 잠자코 있지 말고, 끊임없이 말하여라. And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, 10 내가 너와 함께 있으니, 아무도 너에게 손을 대어 해하지 못할 것이다. 이 도시에는 나의 백성이 많다." for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” 11 바울은 그들 가운데서 하나님의 말씀을 가르치면서, 일 년 육 개월 동안 머물렀다. And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. 12 그러나 갈리오가 아가야 주 총독으로 있을 때에, 유대 사람이 한패가 되어 바울에게 달려들어, 그를 재판정으로 끌고 가서, But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united attack on Paul and brought him before the tribunal, 13 "이 사람은 법을 어기면서, 하나님을 공경하라고 사람들을 선동하고 있습니다" 하고 말하였다. saying, “This man is persuading people to worship God contrary to the law.” 14 바울이 막 입을 열려고 할 때에, 갈리오가 유대 사람에게 말하였다. "유대 사람 여러분, 사건이 무슨 범죄나 악행에 관련된 일이면, 내가 여러분의 송사를 들어주는 것이 마땅할 것이오. But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, I would have reason to accept your complaint. 15 그러나 문제가 언어와 명칭과 여러분의 율법에 관련된 것이면, 여러분이 스스로 알아서 처리하시오. 나는 이런 일에 재판관이 되고 싶지 않소." But since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of these things.” 16 그래서 총독은 그들을 재판정에서 몰아냈다. And he drove them from the tribunal. 17 그들은 회당장 소스데네를 붙들어다가 재판정 앞에서 때렸다. 그러나 갈리오는 이 일에 조금도 참견하지 않았다. And they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to any of this.

När allsvenskan drog i gång hade Pontus Dahlberg återigen erövrat platsen som förstemålvakt i IFK Göteborg. Den tidigare supertalangen debuterade i allsvenskan som 18-åring och värvades till Watford sommaren 2018.När jag poddintervjuade honom i november 2021 talade han om om vägen från att spela seniorfotboll som 13-åring fram till att debutera i allsvenskan inför 32 000 som 18-åring, om tron på 99-generationen i svensk fotboll, om landslagschansen, om att känna både för BK Häcken och Blåvitt och om glädjen över att moderklubben Älvängens IK fick del av hans övergångssumma.Dessutom berättade målvakten om tillvaron att gå på ständiga lån, om att spela i engelska League 1, om varför han förlängde kontraktet med Watford trots ingen speltid och om hoppet att han skulle bli målvaktsetta i Premier League-klubben.

Vi slår oss ner tillsammans med Bo Hejlskov Elvén ännu en gång och pratar om det här med implementering. Pontus lyfter den intressanta aspekten konsekvenspedagogik som är en välkänd fallgrop för de flesta av oss som arbetar inom LSS. Bo kallar det betingat stöd och härleder beteendet till våra psykologiska system som hanterar gruppens överlevnad. Tomas är nyfiken på uppfattningen om att impulsen att exempelvis slänga ut en stökig elev ur ett klassrum är kopplat till hjärnans belöningssystem och vad det i så fall kan tänkas få för konsekvenser. Vi pratar också kort om: polisen, CIS-hem, missbruksvården, spärrlistor, mänskliga rättigheter, psykologiutbildning, homosexualitet, invandring, skolan, metodtaket, förväntningar, amatörmetoder, behaviorismen, om verksamheter som “förråas”, humanism, moralism, välgenomförda utvärderingar och att vi lever i en nyromantisk era där det som känns rätt får styra. Mycket nöje!

Pontuksen kuuluminen: Pontus on löytänyt hyvinvointia elämäänsä keskiluokkaisuudesta. Keskiluokkaisuutta voi tarkastella esimerkiksi terapeuttisena minuuden tuotantona, elämää helpottavana ylimääränä tai eteenpäin pyrkimisen mentaliteettina. Mutta miten ihmisten halua parempaan ja vakaampaan voisi kanavoida mielekkäästi politiikkaan? Veikan vaiva: Yhdysvalloissa konservatiivinen lakiaktivismi on johtanut laajaan oikeusjärjestelmän haltuunottoon ja miehittämiseen omilla asiantuntijoilla. Erityisen selvästi tämä näkyy korkeimman oikeuden perustuslakitulkinnoissa. Entä Suomessa? Oikeistopoliitikkojen viime vuosien lausunnot viittaavat perustuslain roolia ja tulkintoja koskevaan jännitteeseen. Konfliktin ytimessä on leikkauspolitiikan ja perustuslain ristiriita. Pontuksen vaiva: Aktiivista sijoittamista myydään ihmisille valtavalla volyymilla, vaikka se on hyvin epäolennainen harrastus suurimmalle osalle ihmisistä. Kyse ei ole vain sijoittajavaikuttajien eliittiasemasta ja innokkuudesta: sijoittamisen kautta levitetään elämäntapaa, jossa ihmiset kantavat enemmän ja vakavampia riskejä omien valintojensa seurauksista. Vaihtoehtona olisi tasata riskit ja hoitaa niitä yhdessä. KU-lehdistökatsauksessa tarkastellaan Suomen alueellista polarisaatiota ja sen poliittisia seurauksia.

Det är dags att summera säsongen och Blåstället bjuder på tre olika perspektiv: Spelarens, supporterns och den anställdes.Högt blandas med lågt (ni som har följt Nässjö IF under säsongen förstår att det oundvikligen måste bli så) och såväl känslor som mer rationella analyser får ta plats när Pontus Nordström, redan klar för två säsonger till i det blåa stället, gästar Blåstället #118.
They were all soldiers under one general, taken captive in the time of Licinius for their faith in Christ. They were stripped naked and cast onto a frozen lake at Sebastia in Pontus. They endured the entire night, encouraging each other to be patient. Some accounts say that their persecutors placed warm baths in their sight on the shore to entice them to renounce Christ. Finally one of their number, broken by his sufferings, apostatized and left the company. One of the guards, named Aglaius, saw in a vision thirty-nine wreaths descending from heaven onto the heads of the faithful sufferers, and was moved to declare himself a Christian. He was immediately sent to join the martyrs on the frozen lake, keeping the number of forty complete. In the morning all of them, almost dead, were cast into fire, and their remains thrown in the lake. On the third day the martyrs appeared to Peter, the local bishop, and told him to search for them in the lake. The bishop went to the lake on a dark night with his clergy, and one account says that the bones of the martyrs rose to the surface and burned there like a candle. The relics were gathered and given honorable burial. This is the most common account. The Prologue gives a somewhat different version, in which the martyrs were made to stand, not on the frozen lake, but in the freezing waters.

In fact, there are 4 steps that can get you back to peace and moving forward.Today, I want to take you behind the scenes of my own struggles these past few days and show you how I used the very tools I teach you to shift my thinking, regulate my emotions, and anchor myself in God's truth.

In the 4th Century an Egyptian Monk named Evagrius of Pontus gained a reputation as an object of fear among the demons. His friend and fellow monk wrote to Evagrius requesting a treatise concerning "the fight against beings of darkness" so that "we, your friends, might easily cast off from ourselves those evil suggestions of theirs." Evagrius' reply is a taxonomy of spiritual warfare laid out in the simplest of terms. Evagrius demonstrates a thought that a demon would encourage us to believe, and then pairs it with the appropriate response of scripture. Following the pattern of Jesus' combat with Satan in the desert Evagrius takes up the word of God to cut off the thoughts of sin and temptation. In this episode of the Podcast, Aaron and James talk through the effect of the book and the encouragement to take up the word as our chief weapon against sin.Talking Back: A Monastic Handbook for Combating Demons, by Evagrius of Pontus.

His friend and fellow monk wrote to Evagrius requesting a treatise concerning "the fight against beings of darkness" so that "we, your friends, might easily cast off from ourselves those evil suggestions of theirs." Evagrius' reply is a taxonomy of spiritual warfare laid out in the simplest of terms. Evagrius demonstrates a thought that a demon would encourage us to believe, and then pairs it with the appropriate response of scripture. Following the pattern of Jesus' combat with Satan in the desert Evagrius takes up the word of God to cut off the thoughts of sin and temptation. In this episode of the Podcast, Aaron and James talk through the effect of the book and the encouragement to take up the word as our chief weapon against sin.

The Greek Tyron means "conscript." This holy Martyr of Christ came from Pontus and was a Roman legionary during Maximian's persecution (~303). Though he had been a Christian since childhood, he kept his faith secret while in the army. While his cohort was stationed near a town called Euchaita, he learned that the people there were being terrorized by a dragon which lived in the neighboring forest. He set off to face the dragon, praying to God that the outcome of the contest would be a sign to him of whether the time had come to offer himself for martyrdom. He found the fire-spitting monster and, arming himself with the sign of the Cross, drove his spear through its head and killed it. His success convinced him that, having vanquished this fleshly dragon, he was ready to vanquish the spiritual dragon, the Devil. When the commander of his camp next ordered a sacrifice to the Gods, Theodore boldly refused, saying "I am a Christian!" Further, he encouraged the other Christians in his company to do the same. That night he went to a nearby pagan temple of Rhea, mother of the gods, and burned it down. He was seen by the caretaker of the temple and was brought unresisting to the governor Publius. Theodore was thrown into a solitary dungeon cell; there he refused bread and water, saying that Christ had promised him food from heaven. He spent his time there chanting hymns with the angels, so that the guards were convinced that other Christians had somehow joined him in his cell. When all argument, cajolery, bribery and threat had failed to turn the soldier from Christ, the governor resorted to torture, subjecting the Saint to terrible mutilations; but when Theodore endured them calmly and resolutely, the governor began to fear that his example would encourage other Christians, and ordered that he be burned. Taken to the stake, the Martyr walked freely into the flames, where he gave back his soul to God. When his body was ransomed and taken from the ashes by a pious Christian, it was found to be untouched. A church was built in Euchaita in honor of the Martyr; many pilgrims came there for the healing of soul and body. In 361, the Emperor Julian the Apostate ordered the Prefect of Constantinople to have all foods in the marketplaces sprinkled with blood of animals sacrificed to the pagan gods during the first week of Lent, so that Christians would be unable to escape contact with idolatry. But St Theodore appeared in a vision to Patriarch Eudoxius (360-364), warned him of the plan and told him to instruct his flock not to buy any food in the marketplace, but to eat kolyva made from boiled wheat grains. So, through the Saint's intervention, the people were preserved from the stain of idolatry. Ever since, the Church has commemorated the miracle on the first Saturday of Great Lent. Since that time kolyva has come to be offered also in honor of the Saints and in memory of the departed. The whole grain represents the body, sown corruptible, which will be raised incorruptible (2 Cor. 15:37); it is usually sweetened with honey to signify the delights of Paradise.

He was a renowned commander in the Imperial army, and dwelt in Heraclea of Pontus. The Emperor Licinius heard of Theodore's fame as an officer, and also that he was a devout Christian; the Emperor determined to visit the general, officially to honor him, but secretly to turn him from Christ. When the Emperor came to Heraclea, Saint Theodore met him with all honor, and the Emperor in turn praised him for his service to the state. Licinius then publicly bade Theodore make sacrifice to the gods. Theodore asked that he be given the most venerable gods, made of gold and silver, to attend upon at home, and promised that the following day he would return and honor them before the people. The Emperor, thinking that he had succeeded in restoring Theodore to paganism, gladly agreed. That night the Saint smashed all the idols he had taken home, and distributed the gold and silver pieces to the poor. When this was discovered, Theodore gladly admitted his deed and confessed Christ boldly. The Emperor, in a fury, had the Saint subjected to many tortures, then crucified. On the cross, he was subject to further torments and mutilations: parts of his body were cut off, his eyes put out, and he was shot with arrows, finally being left on the cross for dead. The next day Licinius sent men to cast his body into the sea, but to their amazement they found the Saint alive, his body perfectly intact. Through this, many spectators and some of the Emperor's own men turned to Christ. Seeing that the Saint, far from renouncing Christ, was leading others to Him, the Emperor promptly had him beheaded. His holy relics were returned to his family home in Euchaita, where they worked so many miracles that the town came to be known as Theodoropolis.

When Should You “Shake the Dust” and Move On?We're going to see this in action in the text today, but first we need to back up and see where it comes from in the Christian ethosJesus' teaching to His disciples when He sent them out to preach:Luke 9:5 (NLT) 5 “And if a town refuses to welcome you, shake its dust from your feet as you leave to show that you have abandoned those people to their fate.”This symbolic gesture was meant to demonstrate that the messengers had fulfilled their duty and were no longer responsible for the people's rejection. It was a sign of divine judgment, indicating that those who refused to listen were accountable for their own spiritual condition.Ouch. This seems harsh! But maybe you've been there:A family member who has rejected JesusA co-worker you've tried to share withSomeone with a stubborn, rebellious heart on hot topicsAbortionGender, sexualityToday we're going to answer two questions: When should you move on?When should you stick around and invest?The TentmakersActs 18:1-3 (NLT) 1 Then Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. 2 There he became acquainted with a Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently arrived from Italy with his wife, Priscilla. They had left Italy when Claudius Caesar deported all Jews from Rome. 3 Paul lived and worked with them, for they were tentmakers just as he was.Acts 2 mentions there were Jews from Pontus on the day of Pentecost who were converted. Perhaps Aquila was one of them.Aquila was a tentmaker by profession. Probably had a lot of experience living in his product in his travels. Add them all up, he traveled over 4,500 miles. That's crazy in that day.Romans 16:3-5 (NLT) 3 Give my greetings to Priscilla and Aquila, my co-workers in the ministry of Christ Jesus. 4 In fact, they once risked their lives for me. I am thankful to them, and so are all the Gentile churches. 5 Also give my greetings to the church that meets in their home.What did he do in all those travels?Worked a regular job (he was a tentmaker)Shared gospelThe Point: it was normative to make disciples in the early churchNot just for the “professionals” like Paul (who btw wasn't a professional!?)And not just MEN, either! Priscilla is mentioned first 4 out of 6 times women made disciples too!So everyone needs to pay attention to this next part.Since we're all supposed to be “sent out”, we all need to know when to move onShake the DustActs 18:4-6...

his light of the Church is one of only three holy Fathers whom the Church has honored with the name "the Theologian" (the others are St John the Evangelist and Theologian, and St Symeon the New Theologian). He was born in 329 in Arianzus in Cappadocia to a pious and holy family: his father Gregory, mother Nonna, brother Caesarius and sister Gorgonia are all counted among the Saints of the Church. His father later became Bishop of Nazianzus. He studied in Palestine, then in Alexandria, then in Athens. On the way to Athens, his ship was almost sunk in a violent storm; Gregory, who had not yet been baptized, prayed to the Lord to preserve him, and promised that henceforth he would dedicate his entire life to God. Immediately the storm ceased. In Athens, Gregory's fellow students included St Basil the Great and the future Emperor Julian the Apostate. The friendship between Gregory and Basil blossomed into a true spiritual friendship; they were loving brothers in Christ for the rest of their lives. After completing their studies, Sts Gregory and Basil lived together as monks in hermitage at Pontus. Much against St Gregory's will, his father ordained him a priest, and St Basil consecrated him Bishop of Sasima (in the Archdiocese of Caesarea, over which St Basil was Archbishop). In 381 the Second Ecumenical Council condemned Macedonius, Archbishop of Constantinople, and appointed St Gregory in his place. When he arrived in the City, he found that the Arians controlled all the churches, and he was forced to "rule" from a small house chapel. From there he preached his five great sermons on the Trinity, the Triadika; these were so powerfully influential that when he left Constantinople two years later, every church in the City had been restored to the Orthodox. St Gregory was always a theologian and a contemplative, not an administrator, and the duties of Archbishop were agonizing to him. In 382 he received permission from a council of his fellow-bishops and the Emperor to retire from the see of Constantinople. He returned to Nazianzus (for which reason he is sometimes called St Gregory of Nazianzus). There he reposed in peace in 391 at the age of sixty-two. His writings show a theological depth and a sublimity of expression perhaps unsurpassed in the Church. His teaching on the Holy Trinity is a great bastion of Orthodox Faith; in almost every one of his published homilies he preaches the Trinity undivided and of one essence.

Acts 18:1-17 English Standard VersionPaul in Corinth18 After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. 2 And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them,3 and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade. 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks.5 When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus. 6 And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” 7 And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God. His house was next door to the synagogue. 8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized. 9 And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent,10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” 11 And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united attack on Paul and brought him before the tribunal, 13 saying, “This man is persuading people to worship God contrary to the law.” 14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, I would have reason to accept your complaint. 15 But since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of these things.” 16 And he drove them from the tribunal. 17 And they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to any of this.English Standard Version (ESV)The Holy Bible, English Standard Version. ESV® Text Edition: 2016.

LessonsJoel 3:1-2English Standard Version“For behold, in those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up my land,Joel 3:9-17English Standard VersionProclaim this among the nations:Consecrate for war; stir up the mighty men.Let all the men of war draw near; let them come up.Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, “I am a warrior.”Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves there.Bring down your warriors, O Lord.Let the nations stir themselves up and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe.Go in, tread, for the winepress is full.The vats overflow, for their evil is great.Multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision!For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.The Lord roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth quake.But the Lord is a refuge to his people, a stronghold to the people of Israel.“So you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who dwells in Zion, my holy mountain.And Jerusalem shall be holy, and strangers shall never again pass through it.1 Peter 1:1-12English Standard VersionPeter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,To those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood:May grace and peace be multiplied to you.Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.

Benedictus (The Song of Zechariah)Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; * he has come to his people and set them free.He has raised up for us a mighty savior, * born of the house of his servant David.Through his holy prophets he promised of old, that he would save us from our enemies, * from the hands of all who hate us. He promised to show mercy to our fathers * and to remember his holy covenant. This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham, * to set us free from the hands of our enemies, Free to worship him without fear, * holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, * for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, To give his people knowledge of salvation * by the forgiveness of their sins.In the tender compassion of our God * the dawn from on high shall break upon us, To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, * and to guide our feet into the way of peace.Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever.

Amen. DismissalLet us bless the LordThanks be to God!Alleluia, Alleluia! BenedictionThe grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen
Question: Our church is teaching that Christians will not commit sins if they are truly saved. So, are scriptures such as 1 Peter 4:15 talking about unbelievers?Response: Concerning your question, 1 Peter 4:15 tells us: “But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.”Peter is writing “…to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied” (1 Pet 1:1-2).It is to these believers that Jesus warns, “But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief…[etc.]” (1 Pet 4:15). It is to believers that John writes in 1 John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”Consequently, Peter wouldn't warn those who cannot sin, nor would John have written of a remedy for those who haven't sinned. Though the saved (still living in the “old man,” i.e., the flesh) can still say, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” (Eph 2:10). Yet, Peter still warns the church in 1 Peter 4:15.
This greatest of Christian orators is commemorated not only today, but as one of the Three Holy Hierarchs (with St Basil the Great and St Gregory the Theologian) on January 30. He was born in Antioch to pious parents around 345. His mother was widowed at the age of twenty, and devoted herself to rearing her son in piety. He received his literary and oratorical training from the greatest pagan teachers of the day. Though an illustrious and profitable career as a secular orator was open to him, he chose instead to dedicate himself to God. He lived as a monk from 374 to 381, eventually dwelling as a hermit in a cave near Antioch. Here his extreme ascetic practices ruined his health, so that he was forced to return to Antioch, where he was ordained to the priesthood. In Antioch his astonishing gifts of preaching first showed themselves, earning him the epithet Chrysostomos, "Golden-mouth", by which he became universally known. His gifts became so far-famed that he was chosen to succeed St Nectarius as Patriarch of Constantinople. He was taken to Constantinople secretly (some say he was actually kidnapped) to avoid the opposition of the Antiochian people to losing their beloved preacher. He was made Patriarch of Constantinople in 398. Archbishop John shone in his sermons as always, often censuring the corrupt morals and luxurious living of the nobility. For this he incurred the anger of the Empress Eudoxia, who had him exiled to Pontus in 403. The people protested by rioting, and the following night an earthquake shook the city, so frightening the Empress that she had Chrysostom called back. The reconciliation was short-lived. Saint John did not at all moderate the intensity of his sermons, and when the Empress had a silver statue of herself erected outside the Great Church in 403, accompanied by much revelry, the Patriarch spoke out against her, earning her unforgiving anger. In 404 he was exiled to Cucusus, near Armenia. When Pope Innocent of Rome interceded on his behalf, the imperial family only exiled him further, to a town called Pityus near the Caucasus. The journey was so difficult and his guards so cruel that the frail Archbishop gave up his soul to God before reaching his final place of exile, in 407. His last words were "Glory be to God for all things." Saint John Chrysostom is the author of more written works than any other Church Father: his works include 1,447 recorded sermons, 240 epistles, and complete commentaries on Genesis, the Gospels of Matthew and John, the Acts of the Apostles, and all the Epistles of St Paul. His repose was on September 14, but since that is the date of the Exaltation of the Cross, his commemoration has been transferred to this day.
She was a maiden of fifteen who lived with her parents in the Christian enclave of Sinope in Pontus during the 1700s. One day, as she went to the marketplace, she passed by the house of the local Pasha (governor), who, seeing her beauty, was seized by lust for her. He ordered his servants to bring her to him, and made two attempts to defile her; each time, however, he was prevented by a mysterious power that kept him from her like an invisible wall. Determined to have his way for her, he kept her prisoner in his house; but she was able to slip away and run home to her parents' house. Enraged that his prey had escaped, the Pasha called together the leaders of the Christian community and promised that, unless Helen were handed over to him, all the Christians in the town would be massacred. Grief-stricken and fearful, the leaders persuaded Helen's father to return the girl to the palace. The vile Pasha made several more attempts to rape the Saint, but once again he was restrained as if by an invisible wall as she recited the Six Psalms and all the prayers that she knew by heart. Realizing that he was powerless against her, the Pasha had her thrown in the common jail, then ordered that she be tortured to death. The executioners subjected the maiden to several cruel torments before killing her by driving two nails into her skull and beheading her. They then put her body in a sack and threw it in the Black Sea. Some Greek sailors followed a heavenly light to the place where the sack had sunk, and divers retrieved the Saint's relics, which immediately revealed themselves as a source of healing for many. Her body was taken to Russia; her head was placed in the church in Sinope, where it continued to work miracles, especially for those who suffered from headaches. When the Greeks were driven from Sinope in 1924, refugees took the head with them. It is venerated today in a church near Thessalonika.
Peace comes when we remember that we're travelers, passing through, and therefore, today's pain won't last forever. And, we are heading toward a beautiful, joyful, certain and secure paradise where we will no longer experience pain, sickness, persecution or heartache. A place where we will live with God, completely whole, for all of eternity.

In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Peter 1:1-3 Imagine losing your job, many of your friends, maybe even experiencing rejection from your extended family. How might you feel, and how might your hardship and pain affect your faith? While I don't know how I'd respond in such a situation, I do know how I reacted, decades ago, when a series of difficult events left my family and I in a three-year period of constant transition, loss, and uncertainty. Initially, I felt abandoned by God, not chosen and loved. But God used that dark season to deepen my faith and the bonds within our family. That said, I've never experienced persecution like the Christ-followers addressed in 1 Peter. After turning to Christ for salvation, these mainly Gentile believers “suffer[ed] grief in all kinds of trials,” inflicted by their Greek and Jewish neighbors. If evaluating their standing from their circumstances alone, these precious men and women would not have felt chosen. Therefore, the opening of Peter's letter must've felt like an assuring balm to their wounded souls. “To God's elect,” he wrote, “chosen according to the foreknowledge of God” (1 Peter 1a, 2a, NIV). How comforting to read the reminder of God's perfect wisdom—of all things past, present, and future. He knew, before they even understood who Jesus was, precisely what they'd experience each day after they yielded their souls to Him. He chose them—not for destruction or defeat, but for victory and eternal joy. In Christ, they'd received a living hope—a firm promise that no one and nothing could take away. They could know, with certainty, where they were heading and everything that awaited them when they arrived. In the New International Version, quoted above, Peter refers to these men and women as exiles. The New American Standard Bible calls them aliens, and the New Living Translation refers to them as foreigners. The Greek word behind each of these translations indicates someone temporarily residing in an area that is not their permanent home. Intersecting Life and Faith According to Scripture, this applies to all of us. This present world is not our home. We are, essentially, passing through—steadily progressing toward our eternal destination and the inheritance secured for us by the death and resurrection of Christ. Today's passage reminds me of Christ's words in Matthew 6:19-21, when He said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” That doesn't mean God doesn't want us to enjoy nice things, invest in a 401K, or take relaxing vacations. But He does warn us of the danger of allowing those temporary pleasures to capture our heart. When that happens, the hardships we experience feel all the more painful because we're less anchored in Christ and overly attached to the things we've lost. Peace comes when we remember that we're travelers, passing through, and therefore, today's pain won't last forever. And, we are heading toward a beautiful, joyful, certain and secure paradise where we will no longer experience pain, sickness, persecution or heartache. A place where we will live with God, completely whole, for all of eternity. Because we are chosen and called to a hope-filled future, held secure by the God of hope.
