Podcasts about PS

In this new Ps+ series, we join Pastor Chris Allred as he takes us through a personal, practical set of episodes focused on development in the area of ministry leadership. 

In this live Red Delta Project Q&A, Matt breaks down why two-set training works, but also why it's not magic. The real key is creating the right stimulus, trusting your feedback, and staying in control of your training instead of blindly following fitness trends. Topics include low-frequency training, Convict Conditioning routines, elbow pain, when two sets are a bad idea, pull-up progressions, calisthenics coaching, rest-pause training, fitness minimalism, tension control, and making diet easier with the 3 Ps.

The fellas deepdive into the end of the 25-26 NHL season - What a year!!! Stanley Cup Finals, keep focus points for Leafs and Oil in the offseason and highs and lows are discussed! Ps.

We are taught that wealth is a number in a bank account, a milestone to hit, or a destination to reach through sheer, exhausting grit. But what if "wealth" isn't something you chase... but a frequency you embody? In this episode, I'm sharing why retiring my "OG" signature course was the path to true abundance and how to move past the "hard hustle" mentality so that you can stop running for every little thing and instead, align your frequency so the world orbits around you. There's a big difference between forcing your results and receiving them, so let's stop stacking glasses that just keep falling and start building a life where you are wealthy in experiences, love, and overflow. Press play to recalibrate your wealth flow and step into the version of you who attracts it all with ease.   PS. Align your inner world to create the life you truly want

If you've ever struggled with heavy periods, hormonal mood changes, painful boobs, feeling swollen before your period, or have been told you have “high oestrogen” without much explanation… this episode is for you.Because contrary to Instagram wellness culture, it's usually not as simple as “your body is making too much oestrogen.” Hormones are a LOT more nuanced than that — and in this episode, we're breaking down what's really going on behind symptoms like PMS, bloating, breast tenderness, headaches, mood swings, fluid retention, and feeling like your jeans suddenly shrunk overnight.We also dive into the science of hormone detoxification in a way that's practical, understandable, and actually useful — without turning this into a biochemistry lecture from hell.GET THE OESTROGEN SUPPORT RECIPE COLLECTION HEREUse the code THHP for 25% off.GET THE PROGESTERONE BLUEPRINT RECIPE COLLECTION HEREUse the code THHP for 25% off.FIND NAT BELOW:Website - https://nataliekdouglas.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/natalie.k.douglasBook a Free Assessment Call - https://NatalieKDouglas.as.me/?appointmentType=50255874EndoNourish - Endometriosis and Adenomyosis Guide - https://nataliekdouglas.com/endonourish-holistic-endometriosis-adenomyoisis-care-guide/SacredSeeds - Preconception Care Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/preconception-care-guide/PCOS Wellness Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/pcos-holistic-guide/Thyroid Rescue - Self guided programhttps://nataliekdouglas.com/thyroid-rescue/Coming Off The Pill/IUD Holistic Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/coming-off-the-pill-mini-course/PMS/PMDD Natural Solutons Masterclass https://nataliekdouglas.com/pms-pmdd-natural-solutions-masterclass/Restore and Nourish Gut Reset - https://nataliekdouglas.com/restore-nourish-gut-reset/Perimenopause Masterclass -https://nataliekdouglas.com/perimenopause-masterclass-holistic-toolkit/Become a one-to-one clienthttps://nataliekdouglas.com/1-1-naturopathic-nutrition-consultations/FIND AMIE BELOW:Book a Free Assessment Call: https://p.bttr.to/3yBdmu3   Book Yourself In: https://l.bttr.to/ZDxWOWebsite - https://whatthenaturopathsaid.com   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thatnaturopathJoin the mailing list - https://elysium-clinic-of-natural-medicine.ck.page/69663ce14a  PS: yes we are practitioners, but we're not YOUR practitioners - it should go without saying but our episodes are not medical advice.

Drop us a note about the podcast. Love is easy to praise and hard to practice, until Jesus defines it for us: “There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends.” We start there, in John 15, and let that command set the standard for everything else, from our relationships to our public witness. If you've ever wondered what Christian discipleship looks like when it's not a slogan, this conversation keeps it concrete: each decision either draws us closer to God and Jesus Christ or nudges us away, and our sphere of influence is real whether we feel “important” or not.We also spend time in Proverbs 31 and talk about biblical marriage, character, and the kind of actions that make a spouse priceless when charm fades and beauty passes. Then we return to John 15 to unpack what “bearing much fruit” actually means. It might be mentoring one person faithfully, raising a family in the fear of the Lord, or standing firm when Scripture-based truth brings criticism. Joy, we argue, is tied to remaining in Christ and obeying His commandments, not to applause or numbers.From Psalm 119 and Proverbs 16, we draw a line between God's promises and daily endurance, especially when life feels heavy. We also acknowledge hard headlines, the reality of trauma after sexual violence, and the call to protect the vulnerable. Finally, we look to American Christian heritage with examples of courage, including a Medal of Honor account and historical presidential oaths connected to Psalm 112 and Psalm 118, as a reminder that hope grows when we remember what's true.

Welcome to The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. You have everything you need. The calendar is clear, the task is right there, and somehow you still cannot get yourself to do it. You are not burned out, and you are not off your habits; you are just out of gas, and you assume the problem is you. In this episode, I unpack what actually creates motivation, why being unmotivated is information and not a character flaw, and the three intrinsic drivers (autonomy, mastery, and purpose) that have to be in place for the motivation to show up. Pull one out, and the whole thing quietly stalls, so I show you how to find the one that is off and the levers you can pull to bring it back.

Koalícia sa medzi tým v parlamente zasekla pri návrhu Smeru na rušenie voľby poštou, SNS čaká do septembra kým neodíde jej minister Taraba a v parlamente je ďalšia trestná novela Smeru, ktorá rieši kajúcnikov. Prezident Pellegrini má dnes za sebou druhý rok svojho mandátu v prezidentskom paláci.Aké sú argumenty premiéra Fica a predsedu PS Šimečku pri vzájomných obvineniach s príživníctva ich rodiny? Aká je situácia vo vládnej koalícii a ako bude vyzerať jej posledný rok vlády?

1 Kings 14:1-15:24, Acts 10:1-23, Ps 133:1-3, Pr 17:7-8

“You will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold” (Ps 68:13).

Vláda Andreje Babiše má za sebou první půl rok. „Dělá si svoji politiku, nehezky řečeno, svoje kšefty. A pokud je spokojen Andrej Babiš, tak to takhle bude fungovat dál,“ hodnotí vládu i to, co čekat dál komentátor Petr Honzejk.Babišovu vládu prezident jmenoval loni před Vánoci. Důvěru získala v lednu. Provází ji neustálé mediální kontroverze, které vyvolávají především menší koaliční partneři - Motoristé a hnutí SPD. Samotná vládní koalice je ale po půl roce od jmenování velmi soudržná.Hele, nenaskakuješ?„Psát o Motoristech je svým způsobem zábava a čtení o motoristech je svým způsobem zábava. Jejich příznivci si říkají: „To jim to zase ten Péťa nandal.“ A jejich odpůrci: „Ježíš, to je hrozné, co za trolly to máme ve vládě.“ Jenže mezitím se vedle toho dějí ty skutečně podstatné věci,“ hodnotí kabinet zástupce šéfredaktora Hospodářských novin, komentátor Petr Honzejk, který byl hostem podcastu Mediální cirkus.Podle Honzejka je pro novináře výzva, aby na politické provokace nenaskakovali.„Je nutné si občas říct: „Hele, naskakuješ na to, co chtějí oni? Piš o těch podstatných věcech, i když to třeba nebude mít takový dosah a takové množství interakcí.“ Je to prostě opravdu každodenní boj a když někdo říká, že to má naprosto vyřešené, tak si myslím, že to je přílišná profesní pýcha,“ uvažuje Honzejk, který letos dostal na své komentáře cenu Karla Havlíčka Borovského.Motoristé a SPD prodávají vzduchBabiš podle Honzejka ve vládě bez problému prosazuje všechno, co potřebuje. A koaličním partnerům nechává rétorická cvičení pro jejich voliče.„Ryba smrdí od hlavy, nejproblematičtější ve vládě je Babiš. Celá vládní koalice mu jde na ruku. Dělá, co mu a hospodářským výsledkům Agrofertu na očích vidí. Což je mimochodem vidět třeba na aktuálním návrhu změny zákona o střetu zájmů. Podle něj by Andrej Babiš nebyl ve střetu zájmů, i kdyby chodil každý týden na správní radu Agrofertu,“ glosuje situaci komentátor a pokračuje:„Babiš nechá Motoristy i SPD obsluhovat své voliče verbálně. Hezká ukázka toho byly sudetoněmecké dny. Kdyby to nevytáhli Motoristé a SPD, Andreji Babišovi by to bylo úplně jedno. Ale on ví, že je potřebuje na to, aby mu šli na ruku. Tak jim dal slovo a oni teď můžou říkat: ‚Podívejte, my bojujeme za české národní zájmy.‘ To je jeho chytrá politika. Meritum je u Andreje Babiše a řeči, vzduch, který se nicméně dá voličům dobře prodat, je u Motoristů a SPD.“Nejsem objektivní ani vyváženýHonzejk přišel do Hospodářských novin před dvaceti lety. Nejprve jako hlavní editor, později se stal šéfem oddělení komentářů a komentátorem. Za to získal mnoho novinářských cen, kromě té aktuální před lety i Novinářskou cenu Ferdinanda Peroutky.Bakalův novinářNež Honzejk přišel ho Hospodářských novin, pracoval dlouhé roky v Českém rozhlase. Nejprve jako zpravodaj z Ústeckého kraje, později byl třeba šéfredaktor stanice Radiožurnál a chvíli působil i v české redakci BBC. V době, kdy přešel do Hospodářských novin, kupoval vydavatelství Economie podnikatel Zdeněk Bakala.„Já se vlastně celou dobu, co píšu, potýkám s nálepkou Bakalův novinář. Lidi mají pravděpodobně představu, že člověk si k výplatě nosí domů tři putny deputátního uhlí z OKD nebo něco takového. Což je absolutní nesmysl. Původně mně to vadilo, ale teď už to přecházím,“ říká Honzejk na téma útoků na novináře.Politici se podle něj různými nálepkami snaží novináře znevěrohodnit a udělat z nich své soupeře. Což ale podle Honzejka novináři nejsou a nesmí být.„Nic nevyroste samo od sebe. Můžeme si vzpomenout na dobu premiérování a prezidentování Miloše Zemana, který praxi brutálních politických útoků na novináře nastartoval, viz novináři by se měli likvidovat a tady mám Kalašnikov a tak dále. On tady vlastně vytvořil takové předpolí pro to, aby to tady bylo možné,“ říká Honzejk.Kam povedou politické útoky na novináře a média? Jak moc novináře poškodí, když mu někdo říká pisálek? A proč má ještě smysl bojovat za současnou podobu veřejnoprávních médií?--Mediální cirkus. Podcast Marie Bastlové o dění na mediální scéně.

Sermon by David Rountree on 6/14/26 at New Covenant Church in Anderson, SC. Knowing The Holy Spirit Personally: Acts 19:2, Romans 5:5 - The Holy Spirit's Description for Our Delight: 1. A divine person. Not a mysterious force. 2. A personal comforter (John 14:26): a) intelligence (John 14:26) b) will (Acts 16:7) c) affections (Isa. 63:10) The Holy Spirit's Deity for Our Dependence: 1. Divine Names (Acts 5:3,4) 2. Divine Perfections: a) omnipresence (Ps. 139:7-10) b) omniscience (Isa. 40:13,14) c) omnipotence (1 Cor. 12:11) d) eternity (Heb. 9:14) 3. Divine Works (Gen. 1:2; Ps. 104:30; John 3:5,6; Rom. 8:11). 4. Divine Honor (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 9:11; 2 Cor. 13:13). The Holy Spirit's Duties for Our Deliverance: 1. Superintended creation (Gen. 1:1-2). 2. Inspired the text of Scripture (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:20-21). 3. Beget Christ (Luke 1:34). 4. Regenerates Sinners (John 3:5-8). 5. Comforts (John 14:16, 26; 15:26; 16:7). 6. Sanctifies (2 Thess. 2:13). 7. Intercedes (Rom. 8:26). 8. Exalts Christ (John 15:26; 16:14). 9. Convicts the world (John 16:8). 10. Instructs the Christian (John 14:26; 15:26; 16:13-15; 1 John 2:20,27).

In the 1870s, Charles Taze Russell began leading Bible classes in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with a small group that came to be known as Bible Students. In 1879, he began publishing a Bible journal later known asThe Watch Tower.Then, in 1884, he incorporated what became the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society. Through Russells publishing work, the movement spread beyond Pennsylvania and eventually laid the foundation for what later became Jehovahs Witnesses under Joseph Rutherford. Russell rejected several historic Christian doctrines, including eternal conscious punishment in hell and, most seriously, the doctrine of the Trinity. After Russell died in 1916, Rutherford became president of the Watch Tower Society in 1917. Under his leadership, the movement became more centralized and aggressive in its evangelism, and in 1931 the name Jehovahs Witnesses was adopted. The Watch Tower Society is not merely another Christian denomination. It is a cult that rejects essential doctrines of the Christian faith, including the Trinity and the full deity of Jesus Christ. To be clear, misunderstanding Revelation 7 or using poor hermeneutical principles does not automatically mean someone will develop a cult or reject the core tenets of the Christian faith as Russell, Rutherford, and the Jehovahs Witnesses have done. Many faithful Christians have differed over the meaning of the 144,000. But the Watch Tower Society shows us why careful interpretation matters. When Scripture is mishandled repeatedly and forced into a system, the results can be spiritually dangerous. Revelation 7 is one of the passages central to their teaching. Jehovahs Witnesses teach that the 144,000 in Revelation 7 and 14 are a literal number of anointed Christians who will be resurrected to heavenly life to reign with Christ as kings and priests. They also teach that the great multitude in Revelation 7:912 is a separate group with an earthly hopethose who survive Armageddon and live on a restored earth. I mention this because Revelation 7 shows us why context matters. When this chapter is separated from the question at the end of Revelation 6, it can be made to say things John is not saying. John is not trying to create two separate classes of Gods people. He is answering the question,Who can stand?So as we come to this passage, we need to pay careful attention to what John hears and sees, allowing Scripture itself to serve as our primary commentary before we look to any system to determine the meaning of the text. The People of the Lamb are Sealed by God (vv. 1-8) At the end of Revelation 6, with the opening of the sixth seal and the first description of the Day of the Lord, we are left with one of the books most haunting questions:for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?(Rev. 6:17). The kings of the earth cannot stand. The powerful cannot stand. The wealthy cannot stand. The strong cannot stand. Neither slave nor free can stand, as all hide among the rocks and mountains, begging creation to conceal them from the face of Him who is seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. So who can stand? Revelation 7 gives the answer. Before the seventh seal is opened, John is shown another vision, but do not think of this vision as occurring strictly after the sixth seal and before the opening of the seventh. Instead, if the seals were acts in a theatrical production, what happens in Revelation 7 shows us what is happening behind the curtain sometime during the sixth seal and before the seventh. Throughout Revelation, the visions often pause, circle back, or open a new window to help us understand more clearly what God is doing. In this case, Revelation 7 functions as an interlude between the sixth and seventh seals, answering the question raised at the end of chapter 6. John then sees four angels who arestanding at the four corners of the earth,each holdingback the four winds of the earth(v. 1). We are told they do this so that no wind blows on the earth, sea, or any tree. What John sees is not four angels manipulating the weather. Likewise, the four corners of the earth is not a description of the earths shape or design. As you are aware, the number four often points to the created order in Scripture. What you may not be aware of is that the four winds frequently symbolize judgment. Because Revelation is a picture book rather than a puzzle book, the image John sees is one of restraint. The message conveyed is that judgment is being held back. Listen, every day before the final Day is a day of mercy, a day of restraint, and a day for the Lamb to gather His people. What is being shown and communicated to us in these verses is that we are living in a time of divine restraint as we move closer to the Day of the Lord. The world is not free from judgment, but the final winds of judgment have not yet been unleashed. What judgment is being held back? The judgment described in the sixth seal. As to why it is being held back, we do not have to wait long for an answer, because in the very next verse we are told that a fifth angel, ascending from the rising of the sun, declares with a loud voice:Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads(v. 3). Do you now see why context is so important? The angels declaration answers the question,Who can stand?Those who can stand are those who belong to God. Before judgment is unleashed, God marks His people as His own. The earth, sea, and trees are not harmed until the servants of God are sealed. This does not mean Gods people will avoid all suffering, for we have already seen in the fifth seal the souls under the altar crying out in a loud voice,O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long...(Rev. 6:10). What it does mean is that the coming judgment will not sweep Gods people away under His wrath, for He knows who belongs to Him. The four winds of Gods judgment do not descend upon the earth in blind rage. When God executes justice, His wrath is holy, measured, and righteous. He does not fly off the handle. Before the wrath of the Lamb is poured out, the people of the Lamb are sealed by the God who embraces them as His children. This distinction is not new in Scripture. In Exodus 12, God distinguished His people from Egypt by the blood of the lamb. A stronger parallel appears in Ezekiel 9, where God marked those who grieved over Jerusalems sin before judgment fell on the nation. In both cases, God identified those who belonged to Him before judgment fell on the wicked. This is what is happening in Revelation 7. The seal on the foreheads of Gods servants is not a literal, physical mark. It signifies that they belong to the living God. This language appears throughout the New Testament. Paul wrote in Ephesians 1 that those who believe in Christ aresealed with the promised Holy Spirit(Eph. 1:13). This sealing is possible because of the blood Jesus shed on the cross as the Lamb of God, and it is received by faith (Eph. 2:19). The seal is Gods mark of ownership, assurance, and future inheritance. It is not first a statement about the strength of our faith in Him, but about the certainty of Gods possession. He promises never to let His redeemed go (John 10:2730). Those who belong to the Lamb are not hidden from God, forgotten by God, or abandoned in the day of trouble. They belong to God. This all seems clear enough, but the passage can become confusing when it says that those who are sealed are also numbered. Verse 4 says,And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel(v. 4). Here, we must not only pay careful attention to the context of Revelation 7 but also do what Revelation has already taught us to do: pay attention to what John hears and what John sees. What John hears isthe number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel(v. 4). Many have understood this as a literal number of ethnic Israelites, primarily because John goes on to name the tribes in a specific order. Some believe the 144,000 are a specific group of ethnic Jewish Christians who come to faith in Jesus during a future seven-year tribulation and serve as evangelists after the rapture. I understand why many read it that way, but there are some problems with that interpretation. First, Revelation 7 functions as an interludea symbolic pause within the visionrather than a chronological sequence following the great Day of the Lord described in 6:1217. Second, Revelation often follows a pattern in which what John sees clarifies what he first hears. So before we assume the 144,000 is a literal headcount, we need to pay attention to how numbers and images function in this book. Listen, the number twelve is associated with the people of Godthe twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve apostles of the Lamb. The number one thousand signifies immensity, fullness, and completeness. This is why the psalmist describes Gods ownership by saying,For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills(Ps. 50:10). It is not that God only owns the cattle on one thousand hills and not hill number one thousand and one. The point is fullness. Everything belongs to Him. Likewise, when Moses speaks of Gods covenant faithfulness, he says,Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations... (Deut. 7:9). So, what do you get when you take the twelve tribes of Israel, multiply them by the twelve apostles of the Lamb, and then multiply that by the fullness of the covenant-keeping faithfulness of God (12x12x1000)? You get144,000. In other words, this is not about limiting the people of God. It is about showing us that every one of Gods people is known by God, sealed by God, and secure in God through the blood of the Lamb. This is also why the tribes John lists begin with Judah. Reuben was the firstborn, but Judah is listed first because the Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered. The people of God are numbered, sealed, and secure because they belong to the Lamb who came from Judah. Even the list itself urges us to read carefully. John is not simply giving us a standard tribal roll call; he is showing us the complete people of God through the imagery of Israels tribes. The People of the Lamb are Gathered by God (vv. 9-12) Now, if you miss what I am about to say next, you will miss the point of Revelation. John hears the number of the sealed people of God described as 144,000 from the tribes of Israel, but when he looks, he seesa great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages(v. 9). John hears of 144,000 sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel, but when he looks, he sees a great multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language. What John sees is not a different people from the 144,000; it is the reality of Gods promise to Adam and Eve, to Noah, to Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob, to David, and to Mary. What John sees is the promise of God to every generation of His people coming into full bloom. The Lamb who was slain has purchased people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, just as Revelation 5 declared. This should not surprise us, because the salvation of the nations was never Gods contingency plan. It was His purpose from the beginning. When God called Abraham, He promised thatall the families of the earthwould be blessed through him (Gen. 12:13). That blessing comes through Abrahams Seed, who is Christ (Gal. 3:2629). So Revelation 7 does not show us Israels replacement but the fulfillment of Gods promise through Israels Messiah, gathering Jews and Gentiles into one redeemed people before the throne. This is also where Revelation 5 helps us understand Revelation 7. In Revelation 5, the elders sing that the Lamb purchased people for God by His bloodfrom every tribe and language and people and nationand made thema kingdom and priests to our God(Rev. 5:910). In Revelation 7, John sees that kingdom of priests standingbefore the throne and the Lamb. What was promised in Genesis is now seen in glory:a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages(Rev. 7:9). So when John sees the nations gathered before the Lamb, he sees Israels hope fulfilled and expanded through Israels Messiah. The Lamb has gathered a people from the nations, and now they stand where no one in Revelation 6 could: before the throne and before the Lamb. Conclusion I want to leave you with the three As of Revelation 7, and here is why: eschatology does little good in the Christian life unless it affects your ethics. We are called to live each day in light of the Day that is coming. So, here are the three As: Assurance If you believe in Jesus Christ, confess Him as Lord, and desire to follow and obey Him, then you are sealed by God. Here is what the Bible says:if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved(Rom. 10:910). If this is true of you, then you are sealed by God, and if you are sealed by God, then 1 John 3:1 is for you:Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are!(1 John 3:1, BSB). If you belong to the Lamb, then you are known by God, sealed by God, and secure in God. Allegiance If you call yourself a Christian, does your life show that you belong to the Lamb? If you are a Christian, your identity is now in and with the Lamb of God. To belong to Jesus means that you are not an acquaintance of Jesus, but an apprentice of Jesus. Jesus said to all who would seek to follow Him:If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple(Luke 14:2627). The seal is not merely about future security; it is about present identity. If you belong to the Lamb, your loyalty cannot ultimately belong to Babylon, comfort, approval, politics, money, or self-preservation. Action We have been saved and sealed, and now we are sent to join the mission of the Lamb as He gathers peoplefrom every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages(Rev. 7:9). The question is: Are we living on mission with the Lamb? We were purchased by the blood of the Lamb not to be passive about the nations, our neighbors, or the lost. Jesus did not suggest that we engage His mission; He commanded us to do so:Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age(Matt. 28:1920). Today is a day of mercy. Today is a day of restraint. Today is a day for the Lamb to gather His people. Today is the day of salvation! We are living in a time of divine restraint as we move closer to the Day of the Lord. So live in the confidence of your salvation, make sure your allegiance to the Lamb is clear, and commit your heart to action by dedicating your life to His mission.

We all know the feeling: someone else has what we want, and the maths just doesn't add up. This week, Ps. Matt opens up Psalm 73, where the ancient songwriter Asaph wrestles with the same comparison trap we scroll into every day, and nearly loses his faith over it. A message about how a shift in perspective can turn envy into worship, and why God might just be enough after all.
