December 1, 2025 Micah 6:9-7:20; Ps. 135:13-21; Prov. 28:25-26; Rev. 9:9-17
Proverbs 14:24 says: “the crown of the wise is their wealth”. Our working definition of a crown in this sense is: ‘an adorning confirmation of dignity, rank, ability, and reputation'. This conceptual understanding of royal authority helps to clarify the context of our text in this chapter. Solomon's teaching is universal in this sense. Would you sacrifice your better judgment, integrity, or reputation for riches…? Those who do so wear a fool's crown. Mortgaging virtue in the quest for fortune, power, or position will crown you with folly. A parallel text might be: Prov 22:1 “A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.” Consider the example of Solomon at the height of his powers and splendor visited regularly by royal entourages of surrounding nations. His crown at this time was resplendent, polished by wisdom. As an example of folly's crown remember the demise of king Herod eaten by worms in Acts 12:20-24. This passage also draws a stark contrast as verse 24 goes on to say: … “But the word of God increased and multiplied.”
Series Title: “Live Like You're Dying- A Study Thru Ecclesiastes” Sermon Title: “Don't Waste Your Life” Text: Eccl. 12:9-14 “Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging many proverbs with great care. 10 The Preacher sought to find words of delight, and uprightly he wrote words of truth. 11 The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings; they are given by one Shepherd. 12 My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh. 13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil. The Conclusion of the whole matter: Live by the word of God. v. 9-12 The Necessity of the Minister of God's word. V. 9 “Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging many proverbs with great care. I Tim. 5:17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. 2 Tim. 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Tim. 4:2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. Rom. 10:14 And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!” The Necessity of the Ministry of God's word. God's word brings pleasure. V. 10 The Preacher sought to find words of delight, and uprightly he wrote words of truth. Ps. 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward. God's word brings pain. V. 11 The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings; they are given by one Shepherd. The Necessity of the Mainstay of God's word. V. 12 My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh. Live in the fear of God. What does it mean to Fear God? v. 13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. Prov. 9:10 “The Fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.” How do we know if we fear God? v. 13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. Prov. 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction. John 8:31-32 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Why do we live in the fear of God? v. 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil. I Cor. 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. 4 For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord. 5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts.
Vídeňské klobásové stánky nejsou jen rychlé občerstvení, ale pro mnoho místních také součást identity města. Historie tohoto občerstvení sahá do doby Rakouska-Uherska, uživili se díky němu například invalidní veteráni první světové války. Klobásový stánek je dodnes podle Vídeňanů místo, kde mizí sociální rozdíly a kde se vedle sebe už více než sto let můžou najíst profesor i popelář. Fenomén této kultury se dokonce loni dostal na seznam kulturního dědictví UNESCO.

The day before Thanksgiving, we hit pause together for a short "FaceTime-style" heart-to-heart. Whether you're bracing for tricky family dynamics or you're the holiday superfan, this mini-episode gives you a simple, grace-filled plan to enter the day grounded, intentional, and at peace—without pretending or performing. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." — Proverbs 3:5–6 What We Talk About Two honest camps we tend to fall into for Thanksgiving (dreaded & pressured vs. excited & overamped) — and how intention bridges both. The 2023 burnout story that led to boundaries, fewer yeses, and clearer expectations. A 5–10 minute grounding ritual you can do today (journal-optional) to shape tomorrow. Why your presence > performance — and how to carry peace into complicated rooms. Gratitude as an anchor, not a performance — practical ways to spot "small gifts." Navigating family roles, old wounds, and people-pleasing without losing your growth. "Touch grass" breaks and mini-Sabbaths that reset your nervous system mid-chaos. Scripture Anchors Proverbs 3:5–6 — Trust > understanding; acknowledge > control. 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 — "Rejoice… pray… give thanks… for this is God's will." Philippians 4:6–7 — Prayer + thanksgiving → peace that guards your heart. Colossians 3:15 — "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts… and be thankful." The 5–10 Minute "Pre-Game" (Do this today) Name it honestly. Write how you actually feel about tomorrow (the good, the hard, the mixed). No bypassing. Three clarifying questions: What do I want to carry into tomorrow? What do I need to leave behind? What kind of presence do I want to bring? (peace, presence, wholeness, gentleness, curiosity, simplicity) Gratitude that isn't performative. List 3–5 specifics: Where has God sustained me lately? What tiny gift have I been overlooking? Where can I choose wonder over worry today? Pray it in. "Jesus, I acknowledge You here. Set my pace. Guard my tone. Keep me rooted." "Be still, and know that I am God." — Psalm 46:10 Day-Of Rhythm (Quick Guide) Before you step in: step outside, touch grass, breathe, pray a verse (Prov. 3:5–6). Alarms as mini-Sabbaths: try 11:45 / 2:30 / 6:00 — step out, breathe, reset. Protect your growth: You can show up as who you are now, not who you used to be or who they expect. Boundaries are love: You're not responsible for others' perceptions; you are responsible for your presence. Gentle Prompts for the Table (or your journal) Where did I see a small mercy today? What pressure can I lower by 20% without harming the moment? If peace walked into this room, what would it sound like from me?

The title above says it all. Are you smart or not so smart? Ha! The Bible tells us to be prudent. That means to think ahead. Look at the future and plan for it. The Bible challenges us not to be simple. The best way to put that is: don't be empty-minded in how you live. We need to think ahead. We do not need to worry about the future, but we should plan for it.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1======a==============================================DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADULTOS 2025“CON JESÚS HOY”Narrado por: Exyomara AvilaDesde: Bogotá, ColombiaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church ===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================21 de NoviembreContra la tortura«Entonces lo escupieron en el rostro y le dieron puñetazos; y otros lo abofeteaban» (Mat. 26: 67). «Le golpeaban en la cabeza con una caña» (Mar. 15: 19). «Vendándole los ojos, le golpeaban el rostro» (Luc. 22: 64).Nada hay más cruel que someter a un ser humano a la tortura. Jesús fue maltratado y martirizado por sus captores y vilmente azotado por orden de Pilatos (Juan 19: 1). Fue sometido, en suma, a lo que hoy se podría llamar «tortura gratuita», es decir, totalmente injustificada, incluso por los criterios con los que se la justifica a veces, alegando la necesidad de obtener información o de conseguir «pruebas» para esclarecer un delito.Para un creyente, la tortura jamás es justificable. El deber sagrado de tratar a los demás como deseamos ser tratados (Mat. 7: 12; 22: 39) excluye todos los medios destinados a hacer sufrir, pues todos ellos violan los más esenciales derechos humanos.Cuando vivíamos cerca de Ginebra (Suiza), tuvimos el privilegio de conocer muy de cerca a algunas personas que trabajaban para la Organización Mundial Contra la Tortura (OMCT). Se trata de la mayor coalición de organizaciones no gubernamentales que luchan contra todas las formas de tortura (incluidas las detenciones arbitrarias, las ejecuciones sumarias o las desapariciones forzadas) con el objetivo de erradicar tales prácticas y fomentar el respeto a los derechos humanos para todos. Unos objetivos tan loables como difíciles de alcanzar. Todos los que trabajan en ello lo saben mucho mejor que nadie.La mayoría de las veces, la tortura va más allá de las palizas, la aplicación de descargas eléctricas y los abusos sexuales, ya que se ejerce también y sobre todo a través de condiciones inhumanas de reclusión, hacinamiento extremo, privación absoluta de higiene, negación de atención médica, maltrato psicológico, privación del sueño, reclusión prolongada en régimen de aislamiento, o amenazas de torturar o matar a algún ser querido de la víctima. En realidad, el hecho de maltratar el cuerpo suele tener por objeto destruir la mente. La humillación y la vergüenza sufridas por la persona torturada pueden causar daños irreversibles, o muy difíciles de curar.La misión de Cristo incluía, entre otras prioridades, «poner en libertad a los oprimidos» (Luc. 4: 18). Si queremos ser portadores de su mensaje liberador, debemos tomar en serio la orden divina de «levantar la voz por los que no tienen voz, defender los derechos de los desposeídos, hablar por ellos y hacerles justicia» (Prov. 31: 8-9). Algo tenemos que poder hacer para cumplir nuestra parte en esta misión, aunque solo sea con nuestro apoyo moral y material o nuestros votos.Señor, hazme sensible al dolor de los torturados.

LEVITICUS 5 — THE LAW OF ASHAM (TRESPASS)“Accountability, Restoration, and the Fear of Yahuah”Teachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyToday's class dives into Leviticus 5 — The Law of Asham (Trespass), where Yahuah reveals how hidden guilt, broken oaths, and neglected responsibility fracture covenant order.This is not ritual.This is Yahuah's justice system.Leviticus 5 exposes the five forms of trespass that demand confession and restitution:1. Withholding truth (Lev 5:1)2. Touching death unknowingly (Lev 5:2–3)3. Rash or impulsive oaths (Lev 5:4–5)4. Misusing what is qodesh (Lev 5:15–16)5. Sin done in ignorance (Lev 5:17–19)Each connects directly to Exodus 21–23, the backbone of Yahuah's justice architecture:Life is sacredProperty is protectedTestimony is bindingOaths are covenantalRestitution is requiredNegligence equals guiltThe vulnerable must be defendedLeviticus 5 is the continuation of covenant justice — not a separate ritual.

„Gusto, dnes je tady opravdu husto!“ tato legendární věta zazněla z úst biskupa Václava Malého před 36 lety při velké demonstraci na Letenské pláni. Kam se podle něj posunula církev i společnost? Jakou podobu měla víra u disidentů, na to odpoví Adam Drda z Příběhů 20. století. Vertikála zmíní také formy duchovního zneužítání a novou ekumenickou chartu. Moderuje Naděžda Hávová.
