Ao ser abordado por um corretor de imóveis que não sabe como reagir diante desta crise sem precedentes, lembrei de uma cena de Rocky Balboa (2006). Nela, Sylvester Stallone "dá uma lição de vida" em seu filho num discurso incrivelmente inspirador.

A new episode of the True Currency Podcast comes your way and is an uppercut to the feels! Let us take you higher this time as we talk CREED (Not the band). Once again coming from the Boston Pizza Studios, the True Currency Podcast team reviews the 7th Rocky film and sequel to Rock Balboa, […] The post True Currency Movie Podcast – Creed appeared first on Talk And Co.

With the release of Creed on the horizon, the gang looks back at the legacy of the Italian Stallion, Rock Balboa. Not only do they rank and discuss every movie, but they also pit their opinions against those of Sylvester Stallone himself, based on a 2013 interview in which he rated each film on a scale of 1-10. Other topics include: an appreciation of the male form, multiple whole-hearted endorsements of nationalism, and the shocking reveal of Mr. T's secret rap mentor.   Theme song by Emily Dale (emisformusic.com)

Were going to get into Ephesians, and were going to be talking about husbands today, so I know wives have been spending the week sharpening your elbows. Hopefully husbands, you purchased elbow pads and made your wife put them on today. Ill try to be as gentle as possible with you guys, but I do want to address some things that Ive heard in the news. I think it was kicked off most prominently through the words of Pat Robertson. And I understand that his ministry has done some good things in Haiti and in the aftermath. I appreciate that very much, but theres been a lot of talk in Christian circles about whats going on in Haiti as being a judgment from God because of a voodoo ritual that took place that they made a pact with the devil. Although if folklore is correct, it was a voodoo god. [People are saying] that this has come upon them because of that curse. You know what? I think we are on very dangerous ground when we start connecting the dots and saying, Well, this judgment happened because of this. God did this because of that. Thats very dangerous ground to be on. We can connect certain dots in the Bible in history because the Bible talks about this happened because of that, but we cant do that here; and we cant do that with future events. So unless youre a Prophet on par with Elijah or Jeremiah or something, its best not to even go there. Jesus was addressing some followers about this very question-about why evil and suffering take place. Is it because of Gods judgment over mans sin? Is that why these things take place? In the Gospel of Luke 13:1 (page 1032 of pew Bibles), it says, Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. What probably had happened here was Pilot, who was the governor and a Roman official, had maybe tried to stomp out some insurrectionist; and it killed those who were rebelling against the authority of Rome near the temple grounds or on the temple grounds. It caused that holy place to be a place of bloodshed. So theyre talking to Jesus about this, Well, how could this happen? Theyre either coming from the point of why do bad things happen to good people? or How could Pilot do something like this? They want some answers. They want Him to get philosophical with them and explain to them why this happened to these people, and Jesus refused to go there. He says, Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? Because they suffered… Does that mean they were bad people? What do you think? Theres a pause there as they probably debate this and maybe go back and forth and share their opinions. Then Jesus gives the answer, and He says, I tell you, no! No. They were not worse people. God wasnt punishing them here because of their sin. He says, But unless you repent, you too will all perish. Now the word perish here-He doesnt mean simply die. Everybodys going to die, right? Hes not talking about death. This word means to destroy. Hes talking about eternal death. Hes saying, Listen, youre a sinner too. We like to think, Oh, this couldnt happen to me; but we live in a very fragile world. We live in a world where we just dont know whats going to happen. Sometimes good people suffer as well as evil people. He says the main thing you need to do is you need to make sure youre right with God. Then He goes on, and He tells them another story. He says, Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them-do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? In other words, it was some sort of a wrong place, wrong time event. A tower fell; innocent people died because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time just like in the quake. If you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, theres a good chance you perished in that quake in Haiti. Jesus is saying, Did these people die from this freak accident because of their sin? Did God cause this tower to fall on them because of judgment? Im sure there were people speculating about that at that time. They were probably sending emails to each other back and forth, What do you think? Is this Gods judgment here with the tower of Siloam? Jesus says, No, that's not the reason the tower fell on them. He says, But you know what? Youre sinners too. You need to make sure youre right with God. These kinds of events tell us about the fragileness of life and the uncertainty of life-that we need to always live in a right relationship with God. Ive heard stories of people being pulled through the rubble in Haiti, and what Ive heard is tremendous stories of faith. Ive heard all kinds of people say, Jesus sustained me. Jesus helped me. There are some Godly people in Haiti; some of the most Godly people I have ever met in my life are the Haitians. We ministered to them last year and the two years before that. They are some of the most Godly people you will ever want to meet on the face of the earth, the Haitians. I understand voodoo is a bad thing. I mean if were going to say that God has brought this judgment on Haiti because of these voodoo practices, then He could open up our earth and swallow us in America tomorrow because weve done some pretty bad things too. Im just sharing that with you, that I think its a dangerous thing to start connecting dots and going, Well, God did this to these people because of that. If that were true, would our response be any different? Would we still not be compelled to reach out with the love of Christ and minister and help those who are hurting and dying? Children were trapped under rubble-orphanages, hospitals, for goodness sakes-people who God loves, and we are compelled to reach out and minister to them. So every time these natural disasters occur or these inhumane acts to man, I always hear these this is that. This is that [comments]. It just makes my blood boil, and I just wanted to share that with you this morning. So thats a free sermon and no extra offerings. Right now, were going to direct our attention to Ephesians; but before we do that, we are going to show a little clip. One of my favorite movies is Rocky. I really liked [Rocky] I and II. I thought those were well done. I thought they taught good values, courage and faith, loyalty, perseverance; so [Rocky] I and II, I thought were excellent. The next 12, not so much; but then when he came around with that last one, Rock Balboa, and he wrapped things up, that was a really good movie. If youve not seen the last installment, that was excellent. When we think of a mans man and how Hollywood portrays a mans man-rugged, tough, spitting nails… From what I see in that film, Rocky was a good husband. He did a lot of the things were going to be talking about today. He was a tender and compassionate man. This clip isnt long, but lets watch this short clip from Rocky Balboa as he says good-bye to his wife Adrian, his faithful companion in life. If you were a woman growing up in a Hellenistic Greek culture, you were a wife, you were the property of the man. He could write a letter and dismiss you if he grew tired of you. He didnt even need to have any grounds for his divorce other than he was tired of you. It was understood in that culture that he was going to have concubines for his pleasure. It was also understood that he may engage in relations with the temple prophetesses and the worship of Artemis. That was simply an acceptable part of the Greek culture. So your job was to kind of stay behind the scenes, run the household and take care of things. You tried your best to please him, and you lived in a little bit of fear and trepidation because at any time, you could be dismissed. Divorce and remarriage were rampant. It was not uncommon to have wives in the double digits. So into this society and into this culture, it is difficult to conceive. Paul talks about the wife, and he elevates her place in the home to a height and a level that was not seen before. He says in Verse 25 (of Ephesians 5, page 1159 of pew Bibles), Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her… Were going to be talking about these three manifestations of love in which Christ loved the church. Talk about raising the bar high. Paul takes a bar that was down here, and he raises it to a height that no man can attain. There is no man here that can attain the standard to which Paul has just raised. Christ loves the church with a perfect and complete love that we will not measure up to. I mean itd be like the board telling me, Hey, listen. Unless you preach like Billy Graham every Sunday, were going to have to let you go. Id say, Let me go now, then, because I cant do that. Somebody tries to hold you to an unattainable standard. Your son or daughter is going off to college to study business and start a business, and you say, Listen, unless you make as much money and are as successful in business as Bill Gates, Ill disown you. Hey, disown me now because that's probably not going to happen. I mean thats a really high standard! And so, Paul says, You must love your wives as Christ loved the church. I realize today now that not everybody here is a husband. Some of you are husbands; some of you will be husbands; some of you were husbands; some of you will be husbands again; some of you maybe not for many years, but I want to talk with you this morning about our responsibility as husbands. I stand before you today, no paragon of what a husband is. I certainly have not been a perfect husband. You may feel free to talk to my wife and ask her how I score out on all the things I may be talking about today. Shes right here in the front row. You can talk to her. Shell be happy to answer those questions. Thats fine; thats a fair game, but Im just telling you right now, Im not a perfect husband. I fall short, and we all do; but that does not mean that we dont strive. That does not mean that we dont seek to attain the standard which God has established for us. So number one is Christ loved the church. Christ loves us with the sacrificial love. Christ loves us with a sold-out love. He loves us to the point where He gave His life for the church. The highest priority on Gods list is our souls, our spiritual well-being; so Christs number one mission when He came to this earth was to make payment for sin, was to bring us back into a right standing with God. In the Book of Hebrews 12:2 (page 1193), the topic is on perseverance. The topic is on faith, not giving up and running the race, finishing strong. Some have other theories about who wrote Hebrews [besides Paul], but the author is going to be saying look, heres our standard. Lets keep our eyes on Jesus… Verse 2, …the author and perfecter of our faith who for the joy set before Him endured the cross. For the joy set before Him… What kind of joy is he speaking about here? Is it the joy of Heaven? Is He looking forward to Heaven when the suffering of the cross will be over, and Hell be in eternity? Is that what hes speaking of? I believe the joy that is set before Jesus is redemption of His people. I believe thats why Jesus endures the cross, not just the physical suffering of the cross, but the spiritual suffering-the weight of sin that was placed upon Him-our sin-was put up on Christ on the cross. Jesus bore that sin and suffered in a way that you and I can never begin to understand. When He dies, He says, It is finished. The debt has been paid-tetelestai. The debt has been paid. That was what was on His mind. That was what was on His heart-to bring back and restore that which had been lost in the fall. His highest priority was to restore us to our fellowship with God, that we could come into the presence of God, know grace, know forgiveness and know eternal life. Husbands, the highest priorities you have is to look after the spiritual needs of your wife, to make sure that she is growing in God, to help her as she serves God. Ive now been a pastor-this May-it will be 28 years in full-time ministry. Then if you talk about full-time preparation, it was many years before that; so Ive been at this a long time, and I learned very early on. I had a friend whose wife had written him a letter, and she talked to him about the imbalance of his life because he was never home. He was gone seven nights a week. She wrote about her frustration, her anger and her hurt. He kept that in his Bible, and he showed it to me really early on. I came home, and I said, Honey, if I ever do that to you, would you please let me know because my first obligation of ministry is to her. Thats my first obligation of ministry. I have other responsibilities, but none greater than to my wife; and so thats priority number one, gentlemen-ministering to our wives spiritually. Now theres another priority that he speaks about in the Book of Ephesians 5. He says, …to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the Word, and to present her to Himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. This word holy is very important. Some of your Bibles might say to sanctify. Christ loves us secondly with a sanctifying love or a set-apart love. To sanctify something means to set apart for a sacred purpose. It comes from the root word hagios, which means different. The word holy means different. The Bible is a holy Bible because it is different than any other book. Its divinely-inspired. In this Book, we read the name of a king who is going to bring revival to the people of Israel. Hundreds of years before He is born, Josiah is called by name. In this Book, we read of a king who is going to speak the word for Israel to go back and begin to reassemble and rebuild the temple and begin to worship again in the Israel. His name is Cyrus, and hundreds of years before he is born, the Prophet Isaiah names him by name. We read about a King who will be born in Bethlehem whose days are from the days of eternity, about the life He will live, the death He will die, the sacrifice He will make, and His resurrection hundreds of years before He fulfills them in the person of Christ. The Bible is a supernatural Book, and so therefore it is holy and special. Jesus exalts the church. Jesus says to the church, You are special. Ive given my life for you. Ive redeemed you. And, husbands, we have a responsibility to love our wives with a sanctifying and a set-apart love. In the Book of Genesis 2, if youll turn there please, there is a passage, a Scripture, where God brings Eve to Adam. When I was preparing for ministry, one of my favorite professors was Dr. Linton. Dr. Linton was a Hebrew scholar, and he could read Hebrew from the text, from the Torah, like you and I could pick up and read a magazine. He understood nuances of words. It was just a fascinating class. To this day, he is my favorite professor at any level-grade school-junior high, high school, college, graduate school; he is my favorite professor. He would just teach us so much. He talked one day about what was going on here. Adam was looking for a helpmate, and there was no helpmate to be found; yet God made him for companionship. Here in the Garden, it says no helpmate was to be found; so God causes him to sleep, removes the rib, and He fashions a woman and brings her to the man. Adam sees her, and for a moment they look at one another. He looks at this person who is like him but very different from him at the same time. He likes what he sees. He says, This is bone of my bones, flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman because she was taken out of man. She shall be called ishshah because she was taken out of ish. That's how you say that in Hebrew. He says, this is. He doesnt say it like this. He doesnt go (in a monotone voice), This is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman… This is one lonely guy, and he has seen all this life, but theres no helpmate for him. Hes feeling very alone, and God creates this perfect mate. He sees her, his eyes get big, and his eyebrows go up. He smiles and Professor Linton said it doesnt really translate into our English Bible. He says, The closest word we can find that I can think of to tell you, class, is Adam says, Eureka! Whoa, God, You did fantastic! This is the one I have been looking for! Wow! Eves emotional tank is full now. I mean she just feels so esteemed and so valued as he affirms her, This is the one Ive been looking for. Can you imagine you are in an interview, and your potential employer interviews you and says, Youre the one this company needs! You are the one we have to have! Man, I have interviewed a lot of applicants, and I cant find anybody who compares to you. You are the person that we need, that this company needs! Youre hired! Your emotional tank is full when you leave that office. Youre like, Wow! If somebody builds into your life and tells you how much worth you have and sets you apart as something special or someone special. That is affirmation, isnt it? Any other collectors out here? I collect stuff. Anybody else collect stuff? Maybe you have something valuable. Dont worry-were not going to rob you. Its okay. You collect stuff, and maybe you have some stuff thats really rare. Maybe its in plastic or in glass or framed, or maybe its in a safe or maybe even a safety deposit box where you show people because it has value. Its rare and people want it. Maybe it has value because of who gave it to you and the significance of it. Its an heirloom. Maybe someone very special made you something, and so for that reason, Wow! This is really something. You treasure it, and you tell people about it. Its set apart; its unique; its of great value. Paul says, Husbands, we are to value our wives in this way. They are to be set apart. They are to know that they are unique, to know that they are special, and you are to affirm them. Jesus affirms the church. He told us how special we are, how much He loves us. Husbands, affirm your wives. Tell her how special she is; tell her how much you love her; tell her how wonderful she is; how thankful you are to her; fill her emotional tank. Let her know that she is unique in your life. Now theres a third attribute that is discussed in Ephesians 5. It says, In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it… Some of your translations might read nourishes or cherishes it. …just as Christ does the church-for we are members of His body. Now Paul talks about something very physical. He talks about, Guys, love your wives as you care for yourself. We care of our bodies. We keep our bodies clean. You may exercise; you may try to eat healthy; you groom; you comb your hair and cut your hair. You brush your teeth and all of that. If you have a wound, you minister to it physically. You put a band-aid on it or a brace on it, whatever it is. If youre sick, you take care of yourself. You take medicine. If youre cold, you put on a coat or a sweater or something. You take care of your body. Youre gentle with your body, and you take care of it. This is talking here about physical love. Isnt it amazing that God here is talking in this passage about the kinds of love that we are to have for our wives, and He talks about the spiritual; He talks about the emotional; and He talks about the physical-to love our wives in all three of those dimensions. Now Brenda had a procedure done recently. It was where they had to put the scope down and explore the esophagus and the stomach. It was a precautionary thing. Everythings okay, and I ask you not to ask Brenda about it; so dont go up to her and go, What was wrong? Its okay. She had a procedure. It was precautionary; its fine, and that's all anybody needs to know, so she went to the hospital and she had this done. Now I had to go with because they give you this drug that gives you this little bit of amnesia, so youre not going to remember what the doctor said afterwards. I have to be there to listen to the doctor and to drive her home because shes going to be drowsy, possibly a little bit nauseous; so she goes through this procedure, and she comes out. Shes kind of groggy, and I say, Everythings okay. She goes, Its all done? Its all done. Oh, good. She closes her eyes. They roll her in the corner and let her kind of slowly wake up. About 20 minutes or so later, the machine beeps. Beep. On cue, she opens her eyes, Is it done? Its done. Am I okay? Youre fine. Oh, good. She closes her eyes. About a half hour later, beep. She opens her eyes, Am I okay? Yeah. Is it all done? Its all done. They find anything? They didnt find anything. Go back to sleep. Okay. All right, good. Its time to wake up. The nurse is there. Lets go home. Oh, is it all done? Yeah. This conversation was going on, you know. Shes sleeping in the car. Finally I said Im going to have a little fun with this, like that movie 50 First Dates. So she would go, So, are we done with it already? Are we going home now? Yeah. Whatd they find out? Youve got no stomach! I dont have a stomach? No. They couldnt find it. They were down there exploring it. Theres no stomach. He doesnt know how you even eat. Youre going to lose a lot of weight now because they just sealed up your esophagus. You dont need to eat anymore because you dont have a stomach. That doesnt seem right. Zzzzzz. I had some more fun with that too, just that dark humor coming out in me. I had to take care of her. Shes coming home, and Im ministering to her. Now Im giving her ice water and ice chips and making sure shes covered. She has her bucket there if she needs it. Im checking on her and giving her her medicine. For about 24 hours, Im having to provide TLC here and minister to her. Hes talking here about ministering physically. …as you take care of your bodies, love your wives. Hes talking about the importance of touch and affirmation. I say to my wife, When do you most feel loved? She says, I like it when you put your arm around me. If Im putting my arm around her at church, at a movie, or wherever, she likes that. Affirming touch. Stroking your wifes back, rubbing her neck, kissing her cheek, giving her a hug, minister to her physical needs-thats important. That helps her to feel loved. So Paul is dealing with the totality of man. Hes saying, Minister to her physically, spiritually, emotionally. Minister to your wife. Love your wife as Christ loved the church. Now a couple practical things to help you with doing this: If youre really brave, ask your wife, How am I measuring up? How am I doing in these areas? Youre going to find out, wives, if your husbands are chicken or not. Then wives, you need to say how hes doing in each of these areas. Ive tried to explain it in such a way that you can remember it when you go home, so talk about it. Heres when I feel loved. Heres when I dont feel loved. Heres… Talk about how you can improve as a husband. Secondly, once youve done your homework, find a buddy. Find a friend and say, Hey, listen. We were talking at church about being better husbands, and as head of my household, I want to love my wife as Christ loved the church; so heres where Im falling short. Can you hold me accountable in this? Youre giving that brother permission to talk to you and ask you questions about your marriage and how youre doing in a certain area; so thats your homework for the message today. That's what I want you to work on. Now next week, were going to stay on this topic. As you can see in the passage, it talks about oneness, so were going to finish out Chapter 5 in talking about oneness, the oneness of marriage and what that means. Before we take care of other church business and what not, lets bow for prayer: Father, I pray that our husbands would be the heads that Youve called them to be, that they would love their wives as Christ loved the church. We thank You for setting the bar high, that our comparison is not with another individual. Our comparison is none other than to the perfect love of Christ for His church. We have been sold a line of goods that a mans man spits out nails, is tough and never cries. Hes kind of hard and cold, and thats not the case. A man is a man who is loving. He takes care of his family. He ministers to his wife. Lord, I pray that You would help us to seek to live up to that standard. I pray that where there is correction that needs to be done in marriages, that by Your grace and through Your Spirit, Youd bring that correction this week and we would partner together as husbands and wives to work on our marriages, to help them to be accurate reflections of Christ in His church. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
