What if being a “good woman” isn't actually virtuous — but conditioned? In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil sits down with Elise Loehnen, New York Times bestselling author of On Our Best Behavior: The Price Women Pay to Be Good, to dismantle the centuries-old rules that still dictate how women are expected to behave, desire, rest, earn, and lead. Together, they unpack how the seven deadly sins — yes, those — quietly shape modern women's lives, ambitions, bodies, money stories, and relationships. Pride, envy, greed, sloth, lust… turns out they've been weaponized against women for generations, rewarding self-sacrifice and punishing visibility, appetite, and power. This conversation goes deep — into patriarchy, good-girl conditioning, reputational harm, money shame, envy as information, and why women are often both the enforcers and the casualties of these ancient rules. If you've ever felt exhausted by trying to be good, likable, selfless, and low-maintenance all at once… this episode is your permission slip to stop. Because goodness that costs you yourself isn't goodness. It's conditioning. Thank you to our sponsors! Sex is a skill. Beducated is where you learn it.

What if falling in love didn't start with dinner? What if it started in a club, in a blur of bodies — and still became something real? Many gay men's relationships don't start with courtship — they start with attraction and physical contact (e.g., hookups on Grindr, at bars, in clubs). The hosts share how they met their partners... In the movie 'Paris: 5:59' Théo and Hugo meet literally mid-sexual encounter — and from that physical meeting comes emotional curiosity.

Tuesday, February 17, 2026Last Week After Epiphany As we step into Mardi Gras, today's readings call us to humility, discernment, and a deeper knowing of Christ.In Proverbs 30:1–4, 24–33, Agur confesses his limitations and marvels at the greatness of God. True wisdom begins not with self-confidence but with reverent humility. Even the smallest creatures reveal quiet diligence and order—reminding us that wisdom is often steady, disciplined, and restrained. Pride and strife, however, only stir conflict.In Philippians 3:1–11, Paul lays down his spiritual résumé and counts it all loss compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus. Righteousness is not achieved—it is received. What matters most is being found in Him, sharing in His life, His sufferings, and His resurrection power.And in John 18:28–38, Jesus stands before Pilate, unshaken. While religious leaders cling to power and politics swirl with tension, Jesus speaks of a kingdom not of this world. Truth is not a concept to debate—it is a King to follow.This episode invites us to exchange pride for humility, performance for relationship, and empty noise for the deep, steady wisdom that comes from knowing Christ.
Hey yall! Today in homophobia, transphobia, and political chaos — we've got a stacked one. A special election security advisor to Donald Trump blames the Devil for churches displaying Pride flags. A Tennessee congressman calls a halftime performance by Bad Bunny “gay porn.” And students in Visalia face consequences after posing for a photo with a homophobic slur. Today in trans news: multiple blue states are suing the federal government over healthcare cuts they argue are rooted in political animus toward transgender people — a case that could have massive implications for access to care nationwide. Today in transphobia: an archdiocese in Argentina threatens a church for marrying two trans people, while NBC issues an apology after misgendering trans Olympian Elis Lundholm on air. And in conspiracy-meets-chaos territory: newly surfaced emails tied to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly reference “transgender biology,” raising questions about how queer and trans bodies continue to be politicized, sensationalized, and weaponized in culture wars. We discuss our disgust with the elite ruling class along with the conspiracy theories we've heard that we think may go deeper! The tea is hot today queens!

Show recorded on 2.16.26: This week, Mike dives into stories shaping Israel's identity at home and abroad. Aylana Meisel-Diament, former Executive Director of the Israel Law and Liberty Forum, breaks down the significant and controversial policy shift in renaming of Judea & Samaria and non-Arabs ability to purchase land in the region and why it has sparked fierce debate both inside Israel and abroad. Later in the episode, he shares podcaster Meira K's inspirational account of the unlikely underdogs – Israel's Olympic bobsled team's rise to the world stage. The determined squad — comprised of five Jews, one Druze athlete and even a Shina Ibu breed dog — proudly dubbed themselves "Shul Runnings." Robbed of their belongings in the Olympic Village, the team persevered. In a powerful tribute, one member competed wearing a kippah embroidered with the names of the 11 Israeli athletes murdered at the Munich Olympics. Representing a nation far better known for sunshine than snow, their journey is a story of resilience, identity, and pride under pressure. We also examine mounting calls to remove UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese following her controversial remarks that "Israel is contrary to humanity," and discuss broader concerns about rising white nationalist rhetoric influencing upcoming elections. From Olympic ice tracks to international diplomacy, this episode tackles identity, policy and politics at a pivotal moment.

This Quackcast was recorded on the 14th of February so our cast was about Valentines day and romantic love stuff! A day named after a martyred Christian from the latter days of Rome who was beaten and then beheaded. Apparently he advocated for the right of Roman Legionaries to marry so that's where the love and romance association comes from… Which is interestingly ironic to me because the true meaning of "romance" and "romantic" isn't lovey dovey stuff, but rather it refers to things that are associated with ancient Rome, or are evocative of the idealised memory of it, hence people who're obsessed with ideals used to be called "romantics". The concept of "romance" has since been simplified and bastardised to only mean lovehearts and Hallmark type commercial ideas of people courting - chocolates, flowers and all the rest. We chat about that and actual lovely dovey comics and movies and books and things. Out of the three of us much of Banes' work has more of a focus on love than anything else. He even has a comic called "Kaiju Valentine", which has a fantastic love story at its centre between a giant woman and a normal sized man, you should really read it! But his other comics like Typical Strange and Bottomless Waitress that he works with me also feature significant love plots. Some of my fave love stories are the movie Joe Vs the Volcano, and the books Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice, and The Rowan, all of them because although love is the focus they use it to explore other things: Destiny and self realisation of Joe Vs the Volcano, dangerous, nasty toxic passion in Wuthering Heights, class politics in Pride and Prejudice, and becoming a whole, accepted person in The Rowan. Do you enjoy love stories or do one yourself? This week our best-off from Gunwallace is Kaiju Valentine - Stomp meets a big stomping monster woman as she bops and bounces heavily to this cool, percussive and yet somewhat ethereal sound. It's party time here in Kaiju land! This is an infectious dance number!

Moon comes back from Florida glowing like a man who just discovered winter doesn't have to hurt, and suddenly we're debating snowbird life, Boca Raton condos, and whether Missouri should legally relocate to Destin for spring break. This is your favorite daily comedy show, and today we are aggressively pro-sunlight.We break down Missouri's top spring break destinations (Redneck Riviera confirmed), argue Atlantic vs Gulf Coast beaches like it's a custody hearing, and discuss why Lake Havasu sounds like a Girls Gone Wild fever dream from 2003.Then Valentine's Day stories roll in.Lern takes Tim to the Endangered Wolf Center for an adults-only “VAL” event that included chocolate-covered strawberries and a deeply educational look at wolf mating habits. Yes, there was footage. Yes, Rizz immediately questioned whether the wolves were even real. It's romance, nature-style.Rafe attempts ice skating for the first time in his adult life and learns that there is, in fact, an expiration date for acquiring certain athletic skills. Buckets were stacked. Pride was tested. Heads were lightly bonked. Nobody tore an ACL — which honestly makes this episode a success.Scott celebrates Valentine's with sushi and F1 (bold move showing Brad Pitt on the most romantic night of the year), while Rizz wages war against a florist who tried to invoke “fine print” on a hotel flower delivery. An elite Yelp energy moment if we've ever seen one.We also dive into:– Mardi Gras arrest numbers in Soulard (surprisingly low)– The ethics of alleyway vs. porta potty decision-making– Watching Django Unchained with your teenage son and answering “Was this problematic?”– Why certain movies hit different when you're not 28 anymore– And whether we have officially aged out of learning new sportsIt's reflective. It's ridiculous. It's Midwest sarcasm colliding with Florida optimism.

Pride has taken hold of our culture in epidemic proportions, shaping values, identity, and truth. While believers live in the world, we are not called to be of the world. In Week 3 of our Guardrails sermon series, we examine the biblical guardrails that help Christians navigate culture with humility, conviction, and faithfulness to God's Word. Discover how to stand firm in truth without losing compassion, and how to reflect Christ in a pride driven society.

Guiding Question Is your spiritual pride keeping you from needing a Savior? Summary Dr. Lewis walks listeners through 1 Corinthians 1:26–31 and 6:9–11, exposing our pride and self-sufficiency. He highlights how God intentionally chooses “the foolish, weak, and despised” to shame the world's strong and proud. Using vivid biblical examples (Corinthian slaves, thieves, adulterers, homosexuals) and contemporary illustrations (a homecoming queen realizing a humble girl has what money can't buy), he challenges us to consider: What blocks us from embracing God on His terms? Pride or self-righteousness? Then, through 1 Corinthians 1:30, Dr. Lewis shows how Christ becomes wisdom from God—giving us: Righteousness – our legal standing before God Sanctification – spiritual transformation Redemption – ultimate hope beyond death He contrasts the inadequacy of philosophy (“wishology”) and psychology with the life-changing wisdom of Christ. Finally, quoting Jeremiah 9:23–24, he ties it all together: true boasting is not in our wealth, wisdom, or power—but in knowing and understanding God. Outline The Paradox of God's Choice (1 Cor. 1:26–31) God chooses the weak and foolish to shame the strong Illustrations from Corinth and modern life Breaking Spiritual Pride Matthew's Beatitudes: “poor in spirit” William Barclay: “can do nothing” -> real Christianity begins God's Methods to Reach Us Crisis Emptiness Holy Spirit's quiet tug Christ: God's Wisdom in Us (1 Cor. 1:30) Righteousness Sanctification Redemption (eternal perspective) Why We Should Boast in God The emptiness of philosophy and psychology Jeremiah's command: boast only in knowing God Invitation & Response Personal challenge: Is pride keeping you from Christ? Prayer invitation for forgiveness and new life Key Takeaways Pride blocks access to God; spiritual poverty opens the door. God's “foolish” servants highlight His power, not ours. True wisdom comes from embracing Christ's righteousness, transformation, and hope. Philosophy and psychology may analyze life—they cannot redeem. Real boasting is in knowing God's character and pursuing relationship, not achievements. Scripture References 1 Corinthians 1:26–31 – God chooses the weak and foolish 1 Corinthians 6:9–11 – “And such were some of you…” Matthew 5:3 – Blessed are the poor in spirit 1 Corinthians 1:30 – Christ as our wisdom Jeremiah 9:23–24 – Boast only in knowing the Lord Recorded 5/17/81
Recently the slavery exhibit was removed at Independence National Historical Park, The Pride flag was removed at Stonewall National Monument and at the Smithsonian references to President Trumps impeachments were taken down. We hear from Jason Stanley, the author of “Erasing History – How Fascists rewrite the Past to Control the Future.”
Vainglory is the excessive and disordered desire for recognition and approval from others. It's such a common sin, even among the people of God, that Jesus confronts it directly in the Sermon on the Mount. Why is vainglory so deadly? And how does the gospel address it?
1 The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh. 2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the motives. 3 Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed. 4 Yahweh has made everything for its own end— yes, even the wicked for the day of evil. 5 Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Yahweh; they shall certainly not be unpunished. 6 By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of Yahweh men depart from evil. 7 When a man's ways please Yahweh, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. 8 Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues with injustice. 9 A man's heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps. 10 Inspired judgments are on the lips of the king. He shall not betray his mouth. 11 Honest balances and scales are Yahweh's; all the weights in the bag are his work. 12 It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, for the throne is established by righteousness. 13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings. They value one who speaks the truth. 14 The king's wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it. 15 In the light of the king's face is life. His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain. 16 How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. 17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil. He who keeps his way preserves his soul. 18 Pride goes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall. 19 It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, than to divide the plunder with the proud. 20 He who heeds the Word finds prosperity. Whoever trusts in Yahweh is blessed. 21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent. Pleasantness of the lips promotes instruction. 22 Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it, but the punishment of fools is their folly. 23 The heart of the wise instructs his mouth, and adds learning to his lips. 24 Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. 25 There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. 26 The appetite of the laboring man labors for him, for his mouth urges him on. 27 A worthless man devises mischief. His speech is like a scorching fire. 28 A perverse man stirs up strife. A whisperer separates close friends. 29 A man of violence entices his neighbor, and leads him in a way that is not good. 30 One who winks his eyes to plot perversities, one who compresses his lips, is bent on evil. 31 Gray hair is a crown of glory. It is attained by a life of righteousness. 32 One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city. 33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from Yahweh.

Pride is often subtle. It doesn’t always announce itself boldly. Sometimes it quietly whispers, “I deserve more.” More recognition. More comfort. More appreciation. More ease. Yet Scripture gently redirects our hearts. In Philippians 2, Paul calls us to do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but instead to value others above ourselves and adopt the mindset of Christ. The mindset of Jesus is humility. Jesus, though fully God, chose humility. He set aside comfort. He placed others before Himself. He lived for the glory of the Father, not His own recognition. He served. He sacrificed. He surrendered. Humility is a heart posture that says, “This life is not about me.”It recognizes that everything we have and everything we are is from God, through God, and for God. When pride creeps in—when we feel overlooked, underappreciated, or entitled—we are invited back to the cross. Back to the One who modeled perfect humility. Reflecting the heart of Jesus means choosing service over status, surrender over self-promotion, and obedience over applause. As we lower ourselves before Him, we actually draw closer to His heart. And in that place of humility, we honor the One who gave everything for us. Main Takeaways Pride can subtly shape our expectations and desires. Humility begins with recognizing that life is about God’s glory, not our own. Jesus modeled sacrificial, servant-hearted humility. Valuing others above ourselves reflects Christ’s mindset. True honor comes from living for God, not seeking recognition from people. Today’s Bible Verse Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus. (Philippians 2:3-5) Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Lord, I desire the humility you modeled.

Rules of Engagement: A Journey Through 1 CorinthiansWhat does it look like to be the church in a world that doesn't always understand—or welcome—what we're about? That's the question the Apostle Paul tackled head-on in his letter to the church in Corinth, and it's the question we're wrestling with together this series.Paul planted a church in one of the most diverse, culturally complex cities in the ancient world. And almost immediately, things got messy. Division. Pride. Tolerance of things that shouldn't be tolerated. Silence where there should have been honesty. The Corinthian church was full of people who had the Spirit of God and the mind of Christ—and were still acting like the world around them.Sound familiar?Week by week, chapter by chapter, we'll walk through Paul's letter and discover that we are God's temple, keepers of an extraordinary mystery, and called to live like it.

In today's episode of A Deeper Look at Pride,Pastor Nunn peels back the layers of that hidden self‑reliance. He shows how pride sneaks into everyday attitudes—refusing apology, acting superior, or ignoring God's voice—and how it steals our joy, peace, and fruitfulness.

Exploring the Connection Between Matthew 16 and Nehemiah For BibleInTen.com - By DH, 14th February 2026 Welcome back to Bible in Ten! Today, we have another bonus episode as our daily commentary from CG at the Superior Word rounds off Matthew Chapter 16. Matthew's Gospel contains 28 chapters, and remarkably, it mirrors the first 28 books of the Old Testament as arranged in the Christian Bible. So in this episode, having considered Matthew 16, we'll now look at its fascinating counterpart: Book 16 of the Old Testament-Nehemiah. Nehemiah (נְחֶמְיָה / Nechemyah) means “Yah comforts.” That is appropriate because the whole book is comfort through restoration after judgment. Nehemiah functions as a historical “control text,” showing an established covenant pattern that Matthew 16 then re-presents prophetically (while still being literal history in Jesus' life, confirmed by the other Gospel writers). Isn't the Word of God Amazing?! Let us now take a look at 12 connections which which support the summary of the chapter as detailed in the previous episode. Unlike pairings between Matthew 14 with 2 Chronicles—where the correspondence spans a wider sweep of history across multiple dispensational stages—the Matthew 16 / Nehemiah pairing is compressed into a narrower prophetic frame (the tribulation-period restoration conflict) and does not proceed step by step. The lack of a perfectly locked step-by-step sequence is itself instructive. In Matthew 14 the picture maps a long, ordered panorama where chronology matters as it spans events across Israel's history from the dispensation of law to and prophetic future carries a clearer, more sequential structure. .. But in the Matthew 16 / Nehemiah pairing—focused on the tribulation—Scripture is not chiefly giving a detailed internal timetable; it is giving the shape of the period. So lets turn to that shape now with these 12 steps. A Demand for a Sign and the First Opposition Matthew 16 opens with the Pharisees and Sadducees coming together to test Jesus, demanding a “sign from heaven.” It is leadership pressure-religious power trying to control the terms. Nehemiah opens with the same kind of pressure appearing as soon as restoration is announced. When Nehemiah arrives with authorization to rebuild, opposition rises immediately: Sanballat and Tobiah are “grieved” that someone came to seek Israel's good (Nehemiah 2:10). They then laugh and scorn: “What is this thing that ye do?” (2:19) The pattern is consistent: when God moves to restore, the entrenched powers demand proof, challenge legitimacy, and attempt to intimidate the work before it begins. “You Can Read the Sky… But Not the Times” Jesus says they can interpret the sky, but they cannot discern “the signs of the times.” The irony is that the very men claiming insight are the ones blind to what God is doing. Nehemiah carries that same irony in restoration form. The enemies act as if they understand the situation and control the outcome—mocking, threatening, and plotting as though the work will collapse on their schedule. But they do not know what's really happening. Their blindness shows in this: they only learn after the fact that their plan has been uncovered. In Nehemiah —“when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought…” (Nehemiah 4:15). They thought they were the ones reading the moment, but they were misreading it completely. The builders knew; the enemies did not. And once the plot was exposed, the intimidation lost its power and the work continued. The Sign of Judgment Remembered With the coming of the end times, the leaders of Israel would be expected to understand the situation they are in—but in Matthew 16 they are shown as unable to read it. Jesus calls them “wicked and adulterous” and says no sign will be given except “the sign of the prophet Jonah.” In the previous episode we learned that, Jonah's “Yet forty days” becomes a prophetic template—forty as judgment time—fulfilled in the temple's destruction about forty years after Christ, and then the long exile that followed. The end-times petition is therefore not, “wait for a new sign,” but: look back, read your history through Scripture, and believe. Nehemiah begins with that same mechanism already in place. The “sign” is not in the sky; it is in the city. Jerusalem stands as a covenant witness—broken, burned, and shamed: “the wall of Jerusalem… broken down, and the gates… burned with fire” (Nehemiah 1:3). And crucially, Nehemiah interprets that ruin as meaning—he does not treat it as mere geopolitics. He confesses, “We have dealt very corruptly… and have not kept the commandments” (1:7), and he appeals to what God had already spoken in the Scriptures about scattering for unfaithfulness and gathering upon repentance (1:8-9). Matthew 16 points Israel to a coming historical sign—temple judgment—meant to force a right reading of Scripture and history. Nehemiah opens with an earlier historical sign—Jerusalem in ruins—meant to do the same. In both cases, the issue is not that God failed to leave evidence. The issue is whether the people will stop being “clueless,” read the sign correctly, internalize what it says about their covenant state, and then return to the Lord in true faith. Crossing Over: From Exile-Space to Covenant-Space The movement across the sea of Galilee (and thus the Jordan-line running through it) pictured a spiritual boundary-those “on the other side” needing to come through Christ. Nehemiah is structured around a grand “crossing” of its own: movement from Persia and the regions “beyond the river” into the land where God's name was set. The restoration work begins when Nehemiah leaves the place of worldly security and goes to the place of covenant accountability. Beware the Leaven: Corrupt Influence Inside the People In Matthew 16, Jesus warns of the “leaven” of the Pharisees and Sadducees—doctrine and influence that works invisibly, spreading through the whole lump until everything is affected. The disciples first think He is speaking about bread, but Jesus corrects them: the danger is not what you eat, but what you absorb. Nehemiah gives a historical picture of that same leaven-principle. The enemy does not remain at the gate. He aims for infiltration—to become familiar, acceptable, even respected within the restored community. During the rebuilding, Nehemiah notes that the nobles were already entangled: “For many in Judah were pledged to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shechaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.” (Nehemiah 6:18). The leaven isn't merely threat from outside; it is sympathy and alliance forming inside—compromise that feels normal because it comes through “our own people.” And when that leaven is left unchecked, it advances from relationships to residence. In Nehemiah 13, Tobiah is not simply corresponding with leaders—he is granted an actual chamber in the temple precincts (Nehemiah 13:4-9). The unclean influence in its mature form, so that what begins as tolerated association ends as sanctioned presence. This is exactly the warning Matthew 16 carries forward. Don't misread the matter as “bread,” as though the issue were external details. The real danger is the teaching, the partnerships, the slow drift—leavened thinking that spreads through the body while everyone tells themselves nothing serious is happening, until the holy space itself is compromised. Power, Pride, and the Military Temptation Caesarea Philippi was highlighted as a picture-space: Caesar as deified man; Philippi as leaning on the “horse” principle-military pride. Nehemiah's rebuilding occurs under constant threat. The people must be armed while they build. They work with one hand and hold a weapon with the other (Nehemiah 4:17-18). But Nehemiah carefully frames this: the sword is not their salvation. Their security is God, and vigilance is obedience. Necessary defense exists, but pride in defense is a snare. The people are restored, yet always at risk of trusting the wall more than the Lord. “Who Do You Say That I Am?” and the Community's Confession In Matthew 16, we have the God assisted confession: “You are the Christ.” Nehemiah contains an extended sequence where Israel is restored not merely by masonry but by identity-confession through God's Word: “So they read from the Book of the Law of God, explaining it and giving insight, so that the people could understand what was being read.” (Nehemiah 8:8). This leads into confession of sin and confession of God's faithfulness (Nehemiah 9). In the Matthew framework: end-times Jews become true “hearers”- not merely readers of signs, but confessors of what the signs meant. 8. Kingdom-Order, and Covenant Enrollment In Matthew 16, everything turns on identity and confession. Israel can offer many assessments of Jesus—prophet, teacher, threat—but the end-times remnant is identified as those who follow Peter's confession: “You are the Christ.” After this, Jesus blesses Peter with a name that ties back to the only sign granted—Bar-Jonah, “son of Jonah.” In other words, Peter typifies the Jews who have heard the sign of Jonah, interpreted their own history rightly, and therefore confess the Messiah they once missed. That confession marks them out as the out-called, and it is on that proclamation that Christ speaks of kingdom entry—the granting of the keys. Nehemiah provides an Old Covenant “control text” for that same movement: a remnant comes to understanding, confession, and then formalized belonging. After the Scriptures are read and the national confession is made (Nehemiah 8-9), the people do not remain in mere emotion or general agreement. They move into enrollment—a defined act of covenant identity: “And because of all this, we make a sure covenant and write it; our leaders, our Levites, and our priests seal it” (Nehemiah 9:38; detailed in chapter 10). Names are written. Allegiance is publicly owned. Commitments and boundaries are stated. And the Hebrew meaning of these written names themselves bear connection to tribulation period events described in Revelation. In typology terms, Nehemiah shows a keys-of-the-kingdom counterpart in historical form, a concrete act of authorized inclusion into a defined covenant community. As Bar-Jonah represents those who finally hear and identify the true Messiah, the sealed covenant in Nehemiah represents those who finally own and enter the restored order. 9. A Messiah Who Must Suffer: The Offense of God's Way In Matthew 16, Peter stumbles over the suffering plan. The moment Jesus speaks openly about rejection, suffering, and death, Peter tries to correct Him—and Jesus rebukes him sharply. The warning is against demanding a triumphant, expectation-shaped messiah while rejecting the true Messiah as God presents Him—first crucified, then glorified. Nehemiah provides the historical control picture of that same offense. Restoration there advances through obedience under scorn. The workers are mocked (Nehemiah 4:1-3), threatened (4:7-8), and worn down by discouragement (4:10). Yet the work moves forward because they refuse the “easy” path of retreat, silence, or compromise. That is the typological connection: Peter's impulse—“this shall not happen to You”—is the human instinct to reject a deliverance that comes through suffering. Nehemiah's remnant models the opposite posture: they accept that God often brings vindication after humiliation. 10. Deny Yourself: The Cost of Faithfulness Under Pressure In Matthew 16, Jesus' call to deny yourself is not abstract spirituality—it is a demand for costly allegiance. In the end-times picture drawn, it means refusing the survival-instinct that compromises truth, and choosing fidelity to Christ even when it carries temporary loss. Nehemiah provides a clear historical control of that same principle. He refuses the governor's allowance—he will not enrich himself at the people's expense: “I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor” (Nehemiah 5:14-19). In both cases the work of God is advanced by those willing to serve faithfully even when they could have claimed their rights. Vindication: God's Work Revealed Before Enemies Matthew 16 ends with the thought of the Son of Man coming in glory with His messengers-a public unveiling of reality. Nehemiah contains a miniature version of that unveiling: The wall is finished, and the enemies “perceived that this work was wrought of our God” (Nehemiah 6:15-16). The point is the pattern: endurance, completion, public recognition that God did it, not man. What is done in faith is later shown to have been of God. A Remnant Standing at the End Some will make it through the tribulation without tasting death when they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom. In Nehemiah, the “standing remnant” idea is stated in the narrative milestones that mark survival through the entire pressure campaign to the realized outcome. They survive to completion: “So the wall was finished…” (Nehemiah 6:15). They survive the intimidation campaign and remain in place: after the plot is exposed and collapses, the work continues and the enemies are put to shame (Nehemiah 6:16). They transition from building under threat to ordered life in the city: once the wall is finished, “the doors were set up,” gatekeepers and Levites are appointed, and watch is established (Nehemiah 7:1-3). They are still there as a gathered people at the end of the building phase: “all Israel dwelt in their cities… and all the people gathered themselves together as one man” (Nehemiah 7:73-8:1). They move from completion to public dedication: “at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem…” (Nehemiah 12:27), culminating in corporate worship and rejoicing (Nehemiah 12:43). Nehemiah doesn't just end with “a wall.” It ends with a preserved community—still present, still assembled, moving from survival under pressure (6:15-16) into established order (7:1-3), unified gathering (7:73-8:1), and dedication/worship (12:27, 43). So the narrative picture of a remnant standing is explicit: some make it through, and they stand in what God established. CONCLUSION: Why This is Controlled Typology In Nehemiah, the question is: Will the returned people truly become God's people again-by truth, separation, and covenant fidelity-rather than by mere structure? In Matthew 16, the question becomes sharper and final: Will Israel discern what their own history meant, reject leavened leadership, confess the true Messiah, accept the suffering plan, and endure to the kingdom? Nehemiah gives the Old Covenant restoration pattern in history. Matthew 16 gives the New Covenant restoration petition in prophecy-picture-centered entirely on Jesus: who He is, what He must do, and what His people must endure in the tribulation period. Nehemiah rebuilds a wall around a city. Matthew 16 reveals the confession upon which Christ builds His out-calling. Lord God, we thank You for Your word-holy, faithful, and true. Give us discernment for the times we live in. Guard us from leaven-quiet compromise, false teaching, and fear-driven counsel that sounds spiritual but serves another master. Strengthen us to bear reproach, to deny ourselves, and to endure faithfully until Your purposes are complete. And may all our confidence rest not in walls, not in strength, not in man-but in the name of the Lord our God. Amen.

Today's Headlines: Attorney General Pam Bondi's House Oversight testimony devolved into a chaotic shouting match, yielding few answers about the DOJ's handling of the Epstein files. Bondi repeatedly deflected, bizarrely citing stock market highs as a more appropriate topic, and accused Rep. Thomas Massie of having “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” The most notable takeaway: Bondi appeared to confirm the DOJ tracked which Epstein-related documents Democratic committee members reviewed, raising fresh concerns about internal surveillance. In Congress, six House Republicans joined Democrats to pass a resolution blocking Trump's Canada tariffs, which were imposed without congressional approval. The Senate passed a similar measure earlier, but Trump can veto it, and the Supreme Court—currently reviewing the tariffs—has yet to rule. Several quieter policy shifts drew scrutiny. The Institute of Museum and Library Services revised federal grant guidelines to prioritize “uplifting and positive” patriotic narratives aligned with Trump executive orders, signaling a shift away from apolitical, merit-based funding. In New York, the Pride flag was removed from the Stonewall National Monument following a federal ban on “non-agency” flags in national parks. Environmental rollbacks accelerated as the EPA moved to reverse its finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health, while the Federal Judicial Center removed climate science guidance from its judges' manual after political pressure. ProPublica also reported the U.S. Forest Service concealed knowledge that firefighters' gear contained cancer-linked PFAS chemicals. Finally, a deep-red Oklahoma special election delivered a surprise: Democrats overperformed by roughly 30 points, marking their strongest showing in the district in nearly two decades.
