Being morally correct and justifiable

In today's Morning Manna, we study Proverbs 12:1–4, where Solomon reminds us that loving instruction and accepting reproof is the pathway to true knowledge, while despising correction leaves a person brutish and unwise. We see how God's favor rests on the upright and how righteousness establishes life with stability. Solomon then contrasts the blessing of a virtuous wife, who is a crown to her husband, with the shame and sorrow caused by a dishonorable one. These verses call us to embrace correction, walk in integrity, and cherish the gift of godly relationships.

Sin. A short word with long consequences today on Maranatha Radio. Pastor Ray Bentley helps us recognize its danger. Here's some words that describe what sin does to us. It destroys lives. It's misery. It's poison. The other thing to notice is that sins have separated you from God. And when we are cut off from him, something dies and shrivels within us.
Be My Burning Guest I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh along with my balsam. I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk. Eat, friends; drink and imbibe deeply, O lovers.” Last week, we learned: "Of all the righteous ones of Scripture, Avraham and Sarah were the best known for hospitality to strangers, especially when they received the three angels. (So 5:1) Good gardening is good hospitality to the voice of Adonai, His holy Presence. Because human beings, particularly believers walking in the Way of Yeshua, are in His image, practicing hospitality toward people of faith is an especially sweet fruit of the Ruach HaKodesh." Hospitality prepares us to be a part of the Garden of Eden conversation in the Scripture above. We can both invite the Bridegroom hospitably and remain in the Garden because we possess the vital character of hospitality without which a human cannot remain in the Garden. We can be a worthy guest...and friend...who will bless the Garden. To get a better handle on this trait, let's take a careful look at what hospitality is. What does the word mean? Hospitality: Middle English hospital, "residence for pilgrims and travelers, charitable institution providing residence for the poor and infirm," "guest accommodations" (probably by ellipsis from hospit?le cubiculum "sleeping room for guests"), noun derivative of hospit?lis "of a guest, of hospitality, hospitable” The Hebrew word for “guest” is kara ????? The KJV translates Strong's H7121 in the following manner: call (528x), cried (98x), read (38x), proclaim (36x), named (7x), guests (4x), invited (3x), gave (3x), renowned (3x), bidden (2x), preach (2x) Outline of Biblical Usage to call, call out, recite, read, cry out, proclaim (Qal) to call, cry, utter a loud sound to call unto, cry (for help), call (with name of God) to proclaim to read aloud, read (to oneself), read to summon, invite, call for, call and commission, appoint to call, name, give name to, call by The Book of Leviticus is "Vayikra" ["and called"], a book of holies, our calling to create a sanctuary of holiness for YHVH. This hospitality “preaches” His Presence to the earth and His desire to dwell with us. The Torah describes to us our holy "calling." Not only that, Adonai listens to the cries / proclamations of human beings, especially the poor and distressed. Somewhere in this world, your name can be proclaimed to Heaven, either in frustration, agony, and pain, or in gratefulness, relief, and consolation. How this works is that the needy “give name to” the situation in that home or community. A guest can “summon” Adonai's attention for blessing or chaos. He will actually come investigate the call for Divine help or proclamation of gratefulness! • Now the LORD appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre, while he was sitting at the tent door in the heat of the day. When he raised his eyes and looked, behold, three men were standing opposite him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed down to the ground, and said, “My Lord, if now I have found favor in Your sight, please do not pass Your servant by. Please let a little water be brought and wash your feet, and make yourselves comfortable under the tree; and I will bring a piece of bread, so that you may refresh yourselves; after that you may go on, since you have visited your servant.” (Ge 18:1-5) Avraham understood what a special opportunity he had. Without a guest, who would bless? Righteous guests are given a Divine mandate to bless or destroy a home. It's an apocalyptic opportunity symbolic of the end of days. Washing feet and providing a safe place to rest with food is the ancient practice of hospitality to guests, especially honored guests. Yeshua told his disciples to honor one another, not a new commandment, but an affirmation and demonstration of an old pattern of hospitality.
All throughout the Bible we see this reality that there are only two types of people in the world. In Genesis 3:15 there is the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman. In the book of Proverbs there is the wise and the foolish. In the teaching of Jesus there is the sheep and the goats, the wheat and the tares, the good trees and the bad trees, those who enter by the narrow gate and those who enter by the wide gate, those who build their lives on the rock and those who build on the sand. All people in the world fit into one of these two categories. The Psalms refer to these two groups as the Righteous and the Wicked. We see this reality right away in Psalm 1, as it contrasts both the righteous and the wicked. In this sermon, I highlight how the righteous and the wicked have:#1 - Two Different Influences (v. 1-2)#2 - Two Different Lifestyles (v.3-4)#3 - Two Different Destinies (v. 5-6) This sermon was originally preached by Jackson Hankey at Battle Lake Alliance Church in Battle Lake, MN, on 9/7/2025.
On the cross, God the Father made Jesus our sin. When you put your faith in Jesus Christ, you were made God's righteousness by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Not Righteous Professing Christians Are "Whitewashed Tombstones" - Pretty on the Outside but Dead on the Inside MESSAGE SUMMARY: A righteousness, that comes from your being in communion with the Holy Spirit, is not like a professing Christian who is really just a "whitewashed tombstone" -- pretty on the outside but dead on the inside. Rather, followers of Jesus are called to live righteous lives, as we are instructed by the Psalmist in Psalms 37:39: “The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; he is their stronghold in the time of trouble.". Also, Paul tells us in Romans 1:17: “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, ‘The righteous shall live by faith.'”. In Acts 1:8, Jesus tells us, as His followers, that: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.". In Matthew 5, Jesus tells us, as His followers, that we are different and blessed; and these blessings flow from your living a righteous life in Him. Allow the Holy Spirit to create in you a clean and pure heart. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I acknowledge that I prefer to ignore and deny my pain and loss. I struggle with seeing how resurrection life can come out of death. Grant me the courage to pay attention to what you are doing, and to wait on you — even when everything in me wants to run away. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 114). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Evil Ways. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Goodness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

If you've listened to this show over the years, chances are that you've heard our guest. If you haven't, get ready for a solid dose of the straight up good stuff. Rob Serra (@SerraRob) is back for the annual 9/11 episode and this one hits hard. Host and founder Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) was there at Ground Zero on 9/11. So was Rob. It was famously his first day on the job. Yes, you read that right, his first day as a New York City firefighter was Tuesday, September 11th, 2001. They didn't meet then, but they were both there and it's played a massive role in their lives and indeed in the lives of every American. If you weren't alive then, it's hard to explain how much the world has changed as a result (more on that in the podcast). But they were there. In the middle of all of the destruction. And listening to them discuss what happened then and what has happened since can teach us all about what it means to be an American— the good and the bad. And as the country experiences the staggering effects of more political violence, and seems more divided than ever, this is a conversation everyone needs to listen to and absorb. It's a gut-check on a nation grappling with its past and its future. It's a raw, authentic conversation about service, sacrifice, and the enduring fight for those who ran toward the fire and the driving call behind why we must always stay vigilant. Every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) breaks down the most important news stories–and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

We explore the Righteous Bully archetype in the Inner Villain system, mapped to Enneagram 8 and the Ajna (third-eye) center. This villain believes their opinion is gospel, weaponises “truth,” and enforces righteousness at any cost. We track the full arc: Successful Antagonist (the Fixer), Wounded Child (the Pathogen), Covert Form (the Sacrificial), Hero (the Surrendered), and Legend (the Channeler). Along the way, we unpack how this shows up in daily life, why Thanos is the cinematic mascot, and how to tell the difference between sacrificing your voice and surrendering to something larger than yourself. Two “Am I the Asshole” scenarios help ground the dynamics in real relationships.Timestamps00:00 — Banter and setup, villain 8 overview01:00 — Core question: “Have you ever hurt someone by ‘just being honest'?”01:15 — Centers and types: Ajna center, Enneagram 8 “Challenger/Enforcer”02:00 — The everyday Righteous Bully: opinions as law, triangulation, blanket statements02:30 — Straw story: moral superiority, environmental righteousness as enforcement04:45 — Why Thanos fits the archetype: opinion as solution, the Snap as “righteous fix,” unintended consequences07:00 — Successful Antagonist: the Fixer, “I told you so” as identity07:50 — Wounded Child: the Pathogen, blamed for everything, fights to avoid being the problem again08:45 — Covert Form: the Sacrificial, peacekeeping by self-erasure in groups and teams10:50 — Hero: the Surrendered, releasing attachment to being right and aligning with group coherence12:40 — Legend: the Channeler, becoming a vessel for greater wisdom rather than a mouthpiece for self13:30 — Somatic tell: elation and lightness vs heaviness when it's true surrender14:50 — Vehicle note: practicing healthy selfishness, daily give-and-take, not grand gestures15:30 — AITA case 1: wedding budget conflict, opinion used as a weapon19:00 — AITA case 2: Lego Millennium Falcon, destruction as moral enforcement, shared-home boundaries22:30 — Reflections: how both sides can slip into righteousness and how to course-correctThe arc at a glancePinnacle Villain: Righteous Bully — Opinion as law, truth as a weapon, moral superiority.Successful Antagonist: The Fixer — Solves you without consent, resents not being followed.Wounded Child: The Pathogen — Blamed for everything, over-responsible, braced for attack.Covert Form: The Sacrificial — Abandons their view to avoid conflict, self-bullying through silence.Hero: The Surrendered — Releases attachment to being right, aligns with a larger coherence.Legend: The Channeler — Becomes a clear instrument for wisdom, not a megaphone for ego.Key ideas and languageWeaponised honesty: “I'm just being honest” used to control or shame.Ajna fixation: overvaluing thinking and opinion as ultimate truth.Righteousness vs justice: righteousness centers the self's opinion, justice centers reality, repair, and relationship.Surrender vs sacrifice: sacrifice abandons self to avoid conflict; surrender chooses alignment and feels relieving, not heavy.Practices for listenersThree-beat check before you “tell it like it is”What is my intention, really.Do I have consent to offer this.Can I state this as a perspective rather than a fact.Somatic truth testSay the proposed action aloud and notice your body.Surrender tends to feel lighter, more spacious. Sacrifice feels heavy, collapsed, or resentful.Channel, don't bulldozeWrite the guidance you think you are “channeling.”Circle what is verifiable vs interpretive.If it still feels true after separating opinion from observation, offer it with permission and choice.Daily take-and-giveOne small “take” for yourself each day, not a big, infrequent blow-up. Nap, boundary, five-minute walk, saying no.Spotting the Righteous Bully in the wildBig blanket statements delivered as moral verdicts.Triangulation: “Everyone thinks you're not nice.”Conditional “protection”: “I didn't call you out because you do good work.”Destroying or undermining what others love to make a point.Case study insightsWedding budget fight: Opinion leveraged as moral judgment (“greedy,” “rude”) rather than collaborative planning. The counter-move is to invite shared values, constraints, and consented trade-offs.Lego destruction: Moral enforcement by force. The needed boundary is joint in a shared home, with consequence that protects relationship to the child and to each partner's autonomy.Reflection promptsWhere have I called control “honesty.”When have I swallowed my voice and called it surrender.What does elation feel like in my body, and when did I last feel it while choosing alignment.What is one small daily “take” that would keep me out of explosive righteousness.Pull quotes“The Righteous Bully holds their opinion as gospel. The Channeler becomes a vessel for something larger.”“Sacrifice abandons yourself. Surrender aligns yourself.”GlossaryAjna center: The mental/third-eye hub where opinions and interpretations crystallise.Enneagram 8: Challenger/Enforcer, intensity toward truth, control, and protection.Triangulation: Bringing a third party's supposed view to pressure someone into compliance.MentionsThanos in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, as an exemplar of opinion enforced as salvation.Group-work dynamics where covert sacrifice masquerades as peacekeeping.Resources and next stepsTake the Inner Villain quiz to locate your current arc, then revisit this episode with your results for practical application.Try the “Middle Path” meditation to feel the somatic difference between sacrifice and surrender.CreditsHost: Kristina Wiltsee, with AnnaSeries: Inner Villain → Hero → LegendAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
We all have a primary pattern of dealing with relational conflict. There are a scant few, in my experience, who do it with health and peace. The rest tend to fall into what psychologists have labeled, Fight, Flight, or Freeze tendencies. I'm not a fighter, and viewed myself as generally freezing in the moment of conflict, masked by thinking I was just being cool and calm, waiting for it to just end so I could take flight and remove myself. I thought I was valiant for my lack of fighting. Righteous and unshakable. And I thought I was protecting everyone, myself included. I did whatever it took to, choose your word: appease, placate, tolerate, or put up with. What I realize now is I was just being dishonest to myself and everyone, and while I thought I was being strong, I now view it as being incredibly weak. Again, dishonest. And what was really happening is I grew bitter and was slowly building walls with each brick of appeasing. The new term for this and what I now relate to, is Fawning. And this is the podcast today. I sat down with Dr. Ingrid Clayton who is a licensed clinical psychologist with a master's in transpersonal psychology and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. She's had a thriving private practice for more than sixteen years and is a regular contributor to Psychology Today, where her blog “Emotional Sobriety” has had more than a million views. She has now come out with the first ever, commercial book on this concept of fawning, it's titled, FAWNING: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves—and How to Find our Way Back. Fawning is a hallmark of codependency, and often occurs when we can't fight or flee because we have to remain in relationship with the person or situation we are struggling with. It is highly relevant to why we stay in bad jobs, fall into unhealthy partnerships, and tolerate dysfunctional environments, even when it seems obvious to others we should go or take drastic steps to try and correct things. Ingrid says fawning can serve a purpose as an emergency adaptive strategy that protects us from losing connection with people we depend on, but it becomes a real problem when it turns from the emergency coping mechanism to compulsory in our day to day lives. The good news of course is we can break the pattern of chronic fawning once we see the trauma response for what it is. I was incredibly excited to talk with Ingrid and this conversation proved invaluable for me. I hope it will be for you as well, as my feeling is that most of us suffer from aspects of fawning in certain relationships and circumstances in our lives. Connect with Ingrid on IG @ingridclaytonphd and find the new book Fawning that is hitting bookstores now. Coming up next, my conversation with Dr Ingrid Clayton on the pervasiveness of Fawning and how to get out of this insidious trauma response.

I am righteous in Christ. I am healed by the stripes of Jesus. I have been delivered from my enemies. I have peace that makes me bold as a lion. I am joyful and that makes me strong. In Part 2 of Identity Theft, a new FCG Sermon Series, Pastor BJ Sullivan preaches a message about our identity as a believer from 2 Corinthians 5:21 and more that we are “Righteous in Christ”.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 48 minutesSynopsis: This evening (9/4/25), in our first Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women of the 2025-2026 season, we took up a mishnah that happens to be on the same topic as Sefer Iyov, which will be a major focus of mine this year! In fact, this mishnah seems to undermine Iyov in its entirety! Thankfully, Sforno came to the rescue with a lengthy but rich commentary that answered every single question we raised on the mishnah. Not only that, but we came away with a "meta idea" that will likely set the course for our entire learning of Sefer Iyov. What a great way to begin this year of women's shiurim!-----מקורות:אבות ד:טוברכות דף ה עמוד בתענית דף כא עמוד א-----The Torah Content for the month of September is sponsored by Meir Areman in loving memory of his grandmother, Esther Chasha bas Meir Gedalya, who recently passed away on the 25th of Av.

We've got one last look back before we plunge into the future. This week we're taking it way, way back to Episode 26 with the amazing inventor Dean Kamen. From Episode 26 - September 26, 2019: Dean Kamen is one of the greatest inventors of our time. He invented the Segway, the first drug infusion pump, and the Slingshot–a water purification device that requires no filters, can turn almost any kind of water into drinking water and can operate using cow dung as fuel. He also invented the LUKE (Life Under Kinetic Evolution) prosthetic arm for the Department of Defense's DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). And now, Dean has invented invented a revolutionary all-terrain electric wheelchair known as the iBOT. He rode to our interview with your host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) on the newest version that he unveiled to the world this week in New York–and shares why it can change history not just for the disabled and wounded veterans–but for everyone. Like all our guests, Dean Kamen is an iconic, important and inspiring American. One who's shaped what America has been in the past, is in the present, and more than any other guest we've had so far, he's shaping the future. One of Dean's proudest accomplishments is founding FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), an organization dedicated to motivating the next generation to understand, use and enjoy science and technology. This year FIRST® will serve more than 1 million young people, ages 6 to 18, in more than 86 countries. High-school-aged participants were eligible for more than $50 million in scholarships from over 200 leading colleges, universities, and corporations. Dean Kamen was Elon before Elon. But not all messed up. He's a much better person, he's a much better creator, he's a much better visionary and most importantly he's a helper. -WATCH video of Paul and Dean's conversation. -Learn more about Independent Veterans of America and all of the IVA candidates. -Join the movement.

In this episode of How to Lead – 2025 Edition, Julia is joined by Zainah Anwar, a trailblazing feminist and human rights advocate whose decades of work have helped shift how women's rights are understood and practised within Islamic legal and cultural frameworks. Best known for founding Sisters in Islam and now leading the global movement Musawah, Zainah speaks with striking honesty about the realities of leadership when your work is seen as both revolutionary and controversial. From pushing for legal reform to confronting deeply patriarchal religious narratives, she reflects on what it means to stay the course when change is slow, resistance is strong, and public silence can sometimes speak louder than protest. Zainah offers few guiding principles that shape her approach to leadership: Courage: Leadership isn't the absence of fear. It's the decision to keep showing up, even when it would be easier not to. Channelled outrage: Righteous anger alone won't change a system. Progress demands patience, persistence, and the ability to transform frustration into constructive change. Strategic Legacy: Effective leadership means understanding power, timing, and consequence. Your leadership is only as meaningful as the leaders you raise behind you. Listen to this episode if you want to understand what it really takes to lead within, rather than against, complex systems. Zainah doesn't just model resilience; she redefines what effective, enduring leadership can look like in 2025 and beyond. About the Guest: Zainah Anwar co-founded two ground-breaking women's groups that engage with Islam from a rights perspective to promote equality and justice for women living in Muslim contexts. She co-founded Sisters in Islam in Malaysia in 1987 and Musawah, the global movement for equality and justice in the Muslim family, which was launched in 2009. She now chairs its Board. Zainah has worked as a journalist, a researcher, a columnist, and a senior programme officer in the Political Affairs Division of the Commonwealth Secretariat. She has written numerous articles and given talks on Islam and women's rights, political Islam, Malaysian politics and race relations.

A practitioner in China began cultivating in Dafa shortly after the persecution began, but she stumbled on her path, did not study or understand the Fa well, and fostered many resentments in her mind, all of which led to a difficult life and a poor state. So she began again, and focused on studying well […]
Our summer break continues as we knock out our housekeeping and get things ready for a busy fall. And before we get back to all new episodes we've got another great look back at a favorite with the great actor Jeffrey Wright. He digs into his role on WestWorld, his time in Hollywood and the roles he loves to take on, and he shares the story of Nearest Green and what has become not only an inspiration but is also a very successful enterprise. From Episode 55 - April 16, 2020: From Angels in America to Basquiat to Syriana to Casino Royale to The Hunger Games to Boardwalk Empire to Classical Baby to Westworld. Jeffrey Wright (@JFreeWright) has played Martin Luther King Jr. and Colin Powell. He's played artists and scientists. And he's everyone's favorite Host, Bernard Lowe. He's won a Golden Globe, an Emmy, a Tony. And he's a driven supporter of causes ranging from veterans with mental health injuries to miners in Sierra Leone. It's a look back at one of the greats. At a time when none of us were at our best, he showed us what it means to be the best. And a look at why he's one of our favorites to ever appear on the show. -WATCH video of Paul and Jeffrey's conversation. -Learn more about Independent Veterans of America and all of the IVA candidates. -Join the movement.
