Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them… Rom 12:4-6 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made.

Lorne couldn't be here this week so taking his place this week is Danny. We talk about being in to video games, falling off of it, getting back on the wagon, his favorite Overwaifu, the Battle Pass system, what consoles we've had, playing Flash Macromedia games, playing ROM hacks, Danny's improv background, indie games, how we got PS5s, Whose Line is It Anyway, what anime's were watching, what our favorite cartoons, how Joe got into anime, how we got back into King of The Hill, and what our favorite restaurants are. This episode all was a ploy to get Danny to like Wendy's more than Burger King.

Love and Protection in the Truth  (audio) David Eells – 6/7/2023  Walking To Sanctification and Revival  Samuel Fire 5/20/23 (David's notes in red)  My wife, our son and I were walking through a park. (The Fires represent a young family in the Lord in this dream resting in the park.) It was neatly setup with a children's playground and pathways around the green grass and bushy trees. (The park represents denominations where new baby Christians often start on their path with Jesus.) (Peter said all flesh is as grass. The apostate churches don't teach new believers that they have authority to walk or have dominion over the flesh and conquer the flesh as their promised land.)  In the distance I saw a dark-skinned guy, and he was acting very suspicious. (The dark-skinned guy represents the old man or our enemies who walk in darkness.) Tianna didn't feel right about him and wanted to hide from him. While quickly escaping so he didn't see us, Tianna accidentally dropped a winning lottery ticket. (In childlike faith, we all start out seeking God and looking for the real Jesus going through different church ministries or denominations.) (These new believers are scared to face the old man and don't realize that everything has already been provided for. There is no hiding from our sinful carnal nature in us or in our persecutors. They must be conquered through faith.) I was concerned, but I thought and prayed that no one would find it and we would get it when the dark-skinned man left the area.  We ran to a hotel-like building and tried to go through one of the doors. I said to Tianna, “No, not that one. Someone's in there.” When we were going to the next door, I heard someone say, ‘Hello?'. The next door we tried, was vacant and we went in. We hid in there and Tianna was constantly checking out the window to see if the dark-skinned man was out there. (We need to cast down fear of the old man and live in faith that he is dead.)   Suddenly, a door adjoining a room to ours opened and an elderly lady came in. (Jesus is the door to the sheep. The elderly lady represents the original church and the true Gospel. (2 Tim 1:5 having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, in thee also.) (Joh 10:7-9 Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture. 1Jn 2:24 As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father. And 2Jn 1:5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.)   The elderly lady asked if we were okay and if she could help us. We were so thankful. She provided new clothes for our family. (Clothing represents our works. Isa 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with a garland, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.) We were no longer trying to hide from the “old man”, and now we were working for the King with our “new works of faith”.)  We left and ran to the spot where we had dropped the lottery ticket. (Eph 2:20 being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone;)  We then continued our walk over to David's and Michael's house. (UBM provides Unleavened Bread of Truth.) (David represents the man-child and Michael those who are like God, for Michael means “Who is like God”. When we walk in the original “unfeigned faith” our walk leads us to the true Jesus that has the unleavened bread of truth.) When we arrived, a lady was talking with David and Michael about some help she needed. (Many members of the true church are coming out of apostacy.) David then said, “Just ask Samuel, he can help you with that.” (Samuel in Hebrew means, “Heard of God”.) I was shocked and had no idea what the discussion was about, but I was eager to help. David, Michael and Tianna and our son then started on something else. The lady was kind and needed something that was simple and easy to do based on the skills that God has gifted me. I told Tianna I had to go out and purchase an item for her and then I'd come back. The lady then went to join the others, and they were beginning a praise and worship meeting on Zoom. After I purchased the item to help the lady and altered it with my hands, it was complete and ready to go.  I then started working on the engine and some things in our car, which was not the same as our car in the natural, but was instead an American muscle car. It wasn't starting properly (The church needs to be born again and filled with the Holy Spirit, and this will happen when Revival starts.) I kept doing things under the hood and in the engine bay and then going to start it, over and over. (Ministering to the church who needs a renewed mind and a new heart.) (Many start out with self-works to fix their own vessels, but we must rest in God and learn to rely on the “unfeigned faith” of God instead.)  I then felt by faith to lay hands on it and said, “All is done, Jesus has healed and blessed you, car. I and my family love you and delight in you. You're blessed in Jesus Name.” Then by faith I closed the hood, washed up and changed my shirt, jumped in and started it up. It was so powerful that the car was shaking like it had a 1000HP engine. (There is a lot more power in faith in the Gospel than self-works. Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.)  The Body Helps Each Other  Tianna Fire 03/18/23 (David's notes in red)  There was much more to this dream but this is all I remember. I dreamed that Michael and David were going to move into a new house and all the brethren were helping them to prepare for the move. (Representing moving into man-child anointing.) The UBM brethren were all gathering in a large building that was designed kind of like a barn, but it had a part that was like a house and a giant area for everyone to gather. Michael and David were staying there until they completely moved into the next house.) NENT Joh 14:2-3 In the house of my Father are many abodes; if not so, I would have told you; for I am going to prepare you a place. 3 And if I go and prepare you a place, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, YE be also.) (Michael and David moving into houses represent the Godly and the Man-child moving into more freedom and anointing.)  The house Michael and David were about to move into, was on a large amount of land that had a big open area like a prairie, but the rest of the land was forest. ( Isa_32:15  until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest. The separation between the wicked and righteous represented by the prairie and the trees. Psa 1:3-5 And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.)  The house was located at the back of the open grass area near the forest, and included at the front of this property was an apartment building. The property was previously owned by a very wealthy person, that I felt was part of the DS. But God had given him grace to repent, and he had come out of darkness and he gave away all his physical things for free to God's elect. Mat 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell that which thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 1Ti 6:17-19 Charge them that are rich in this present world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life which is life indeed. Pro 28:20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings; But he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be unpunished. All the brethren kept making a wide variety of sweet and savory home-cooked meals and they would always bring at least a plate of food each time they would gather in the barn. The brethren would also make much extra food for Michael and David so they didn't have to worry about making food, and the brethren would also clean their home and the barn and take care of all the physical things so Michael and David could focus on the spiritual things and seeking our Holy Father. (NENT Gal 6:6 But let him that is taught in the word share in all good things with him that teacheth. Act 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and soul: and not one of them said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.)  When it came time for Michael and David to move to the new house, all the brethren helped pack everything and prepare so all Michael and David had to do was walk to the new house. I remember thinking that maybe I should give them cookies when I went over to their new house, but I saw there were already many other plates filled with different types of cookies. (We need to be sensitive to our giftings and where to serve in the body and trust the Holy Spirit's leading on our lives. Rom 12:4-8 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office: 5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another. 6 And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith; 7 or ministry, let us give ourselves to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching; 8 or he that exhorteth, to his exhorting: he that giveth, let him do it with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness. We are to assist in any way possible to the elect, especially the elders. They have been given work in the spiritual for all, and where possible to lift the burden in the physical in return. We all are in one Body in one accord of Christ! 1Co 12,12-20 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. 13 For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now they are many members, but one body.   God's Love Letter  Samuel Fire - 5/7/23  (All glory to God)  An intimate message from God to you: (( I have sought for you and I know all about you. Psa 139:1 O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known me.  I know when you lay down to rest and when you awake. I know your thoughts before you speak them. Psa 139:2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising; Thou understandest my thought afar off.  I know where you will go and your situation. I am familiar with what you are going through. Psa 139:3 Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, And art acquainted with all my ways.   You are highly valued to Me; I have counted all of your hairs. You are more worthy than any other living creature.  Mat 10:29-31 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and not one of them shall fall to the ground without your Father: 30 but of you, the very hairs of the head are all numbered. 31 Fear not therefore; ye are of more value than many sparrows.  I created you to be just like Me. Gen 1:27 And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  You are My child.  Act 17:28 for in him we live, and move, and have our being, as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.  Before I made you in the womb, I knew you and made a purpose for you. Jer 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee; I have appointed thee a prophet unto the nations.  Before I made the world, I chose you for a legacy. Eph 1:11-12 in whom also we were made a heritage, foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will; 12 that we be unto praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in the Christ:  I wrote you in My Book, for you are not a mistake. Psa 139:15-16 My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, And curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was none of them.  I decided where you would live, and what date and time you were born. Act 17:26 and he made of one every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation;  I formed you completely with every care, thought and attention to every detail. Psa 139:13-14 For thou didst form my inward parts: Thou didst cover me in my mother's womb. 14 I will give thanks unto thee; for I Am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.  I safely brought you out in perfect time at your birth. Psa 71:6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb; Thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: My praise shall be continually of thee.   I have been misrepresented. They have a different father and do not listen to Me. I speak to you truthfully and in love. Joh 8:41-44 YE do the works of your father. They said to him, WE were not born of fornication; we have one Father, God. 42 Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and Am come from God, for neither have I come of myself, but HE sent me. 43 Wherefore understand ye not my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word. 44 YE are of the father, the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will to do. He was a man-slayer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because no truth is in him. When he speaketh the lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.  I am never far from you. I love you and you are welcome to Me. 1Jn 4:16 And WE know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love; and who abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him.   I declare you are My child and I will continue to shower you in love. Do not care for the world because they do not know Me. I Am your Father. 1Jn 3:1 Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.  If you know of what is good and have had good things in the world, then receive truly good gifts from Me, that anything or anyone else ever could compare. Mat 7:11 If ye therefore, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to them that ask him?  I Am perfect and desire the same for you. Mat 5:48 YE therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.  Only everything that is good and every perfect gift comes from Me. Jas 1:17 Every good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, neither shadow cast by turning.  So do not worry about anything, as I already know this. Seek and ask Me and I will provide. Mat 6:31-33 Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewith shall we be clothed? 32 For after all these do the nations seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye need all these. 33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.  I care and think of you until the furthest of your future, to have peace and hope always. Jer 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end.  I love you forever and I have drawn you with My everlasting pure kindness, giving Myself completely, with love and compassion. Jer 31:3 Jehovah appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.  I think of you more than all the grains of sand on the shore. Psa 139:17-18 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: When I awake, I Am still with thee.  I Am the closest. I Am the strongest. I rejoice over you with happiness and I delight over you with singing. Zep 3:17 Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy over thee with singing.  I promise I will not turn away from you and doing good to you. Jer 32:40 and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.   Please hear Me and be together with Me. For you are special and treasured from among all people, for all the earth is Mine. Exo 19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be mine own possession from among all peoples: for all the earth is mine:  It is My celebration to do you good and I assure you that I desire to place you fittingly in the land, I do so with My whole heart and soul. Jer 32:41 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.  Call Me and I will answer you. I will show you exceedingly magnificent things beyond your understanding. Jer 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and will show thee great things, and difficult, which thou knowest not.  If you seek Me with all your heart and soul, you will find Me. Deu 4:29 But from thence ye shall seek Jehovah thy God, and thou shalt find him, when thou searchest after him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.  Delight yourself in Me, and I will give you all of your heart's desire. Psa 37:4 Delight thyself also in Jehovah; And he will give thee the desires of thy heart.  I Am the One Who gave you those desires, the will and to work these. Php 2:13 for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.  I Am able to do more for you than you can comprehend of what you ask or think. Eph 3:20 Now to the one able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,  Myself and My Son have established a love, comfort and encouragement for you in everything you do. 2Th 2:16-17 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave eternal comfort and good hope in grace, 17 comfort your hearts and establish in every good work and word.  No matter what you are going through and all your troubles, we are with you always. 2Co 1:3-4 Blessed the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; 4 who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we be able to comfort those in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.  I Am with you despite the toughest of troubles and will bring you into victory. Psa 34:18 Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.  I will care for you; carry you close in My Heart, and lead your way with gentleness. Isa 40:11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and will gently lead those that have their young.  I promise I will be there with you and wipe away all your tears and remove all your pain. I promise there will be no more suffering. Rev 21:3-4 And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Lo, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall tabernacle with them, and THEY shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them: 4 and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and: death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things are gone.   I love you as My Son Jesus. Joh 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they be perfected into one; that the world know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me.   I have made known to all of My love for My Son. And all who love Me, I love as My Son. Joh 17:26 and I made known to them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me be in them, and I in them.  For Jesus is the perfect image of My Being, the ultimate representation of Me in all things. Heb 1:3 who being the Glory's effulgence, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right of the Majesty on high.  Through Him and His pure sacrifice, reconciled us together as one, and I do not count any of your sins. 2Co 5:18-19 But all the things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.   In the most undeserved and gracious expression of My Love to you, is His death for you. 1Jn 4:10 Herein is love, not that WE have loved God, but that HE loved us, and sent his Son as propitiation for our sins.  I Am for you. I gave up everything I loved, that I might gain your love. Rom 8:31-32 What then shall we say unto these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 Who at least spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all the things?  If you desire willingly the gift of My Son Jesus, you will receive Me for eternity. 1Jn 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, hath not the Father either; who confesseth the Son hath the Father also.  Not anything of any kind can separate you from My love. Rom 8:38-39 For I Am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Accept this and there will be great joy and an amazing celebration in Heaven. Luk 15:7 I say unto you, that thus more joy shall be in heaven over one repenting sinner, than over ninety-nine righteous, who need no repentance.   I have always been Father in all of Heaven and creation. Eph 3:14-15 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father, 15 from whom all fatherhood in heavens and on the earth is named,   If you believe, you will be My Son. Joh 1:12-13 But as many as received him, to them gave he authority to become children of God, even to them that believe unto his name: 13 who were begotten, not of bloods, nor of the will of flesh, nor of man's will, but of God. Pro-29:21  He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child Shall have him become a son at the last. I eagerly await you with the greatest of anticipation. Luk 15:20 And he arose, and came unto his own father. But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and pitied him, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and kissed him much.   I love you,  -ALMIGHTY GOD    The Gadget  Tianna Fire - 2/25/23 (David's notes n red)  During the women's prayer meeting I saw a giant gadget toy that kind of looked like a puzzle as it had so many different parts of it that connected together to make it. Only one part, the right part could go into its specific place. No part could fit in any other part's position. The gadget was really big and heavy and you needed at least two hands to even hold it.  A few parts of the gadget were already positioned in their right spot fitted tightly together, so they couldn't be moved. But some parts were in the wrong spot and other parts were not fitting properly into their place because of dirt and dust. I saw the place where one part needed to go into, and this area had been cleaned so the right part was able to click tightly into its correct spot.  (I felt this relates to fellowship, how we are all one Body in Christ and when we are cleaned up, we get closer to Jesus and closer to each other. We are all unique and have our specific place God created us to be and although it's a different part, we are all to be connected as one. I felt that when we fellowship together and pray together in unity, the Lord cleans us up and it brings us closer together as one in Christ.)  Joh 15:3 Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you.  1Jn 1:7-9 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.    Spiritual Safety in UBM  Tianna Fire 2022 (David's notes in red)  We had been watching some teaching videos regarding the Holy Bible by someone who was speaking some Truth, but not completely from the Holy Spirit. There was some leaven with it. (NENT Gal 5:9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.) Overall, what he was saying was pointing to Jesus. I felt to have a break from watching his videos, and I went and put on a David Eells teaching video.  As it started, I then had a vision of the gates of Heaven and the golden doors opened and I walked through, and I felt so welcome and an overwhelming sense of a warming, comforting, loving hug as I entered in. (It is not man it is the pure Word that opens the gates to the heavenly blessings.)  I felt like I was up so very high and there was nothing higher or above. (Jer 10:6 There is none like unto thee, O Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. And NENT 1Co 8:6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all the things, and we through him.)   I was so comforted and had such peace and protection beyond anything. As the gates closed behind me, I knew I was completely safe and no evil could even touch me. There was absolute security, and I didn't want to be anywhere else. I didn't feel to look back, and I couldn't think about anything other than what I was seeing and feeling.   I felt the Lord was saying to me that there is spiritual safety in the Unleavened Bread Ministries revelations and teachings, and I don't need to search anywhere else. (No credit goes to us but our Lord Jesus who is the Word that we cannot add to or take from.)   SERVICES Ubbs Outreach Friday Night Worship CONTACT Share Your Testimony Request Prayer Technical Support Questions   SUPPORT US We are a non-profit organisation based in United States.

Somethings Gotta Give is a 2003 Romantic Comedy Drama, Produced and Directed by Nancy Meyers. Meyers has been responsible for The Parent Trap, The Holiday. It's Complicated, What Women Want, Father of the Bride, she is Romantic Comedy Royalty. Something's Gotta Give is the story of Harry Sanborn played by Jack Nicholson and Erica Barry played by Diane Keaton. When we meet Harry Sanborn he is actually dating Erica Barry's daughter Marin played by Amanda Peet. Amanda is 35 ish years younger than Harry. We learn very quickly, Harry is one of those perpetual bachelors who exclusively dates women much younger than him. When Marin and Harry go to her mother's beach house they run into Erica Barry along with Marin's sister Zoe played by Frances McDormand. Through this awkward meeting and a serious of unfortunate events for Harry it ends up that he must stay at that beach house with Erica until his health returns… much to both of their chagrins… but of course, love is likely to blossom in this very unlikely pairing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch, Elford Stephens, and Andy Hunter. In part four of our look at Pokémon fan projects, we finally get into the controversy around Pokémon fan games and ROM hacks by looking at probably the two most famous/infamous unauthorized Pokémon games: Pokémon Uranium and Pokémon Prism, focusing on their development and their relationship to Pokémon fandom. Topics discussed include:  2016 was a great year so long as you're a Pokémon fan and don't read the news; Pokémon GO was kind of a big deal, despite being built on a bad game called Ingress; and why won't Nintendo let us play the early generation Pokémon games?  For more on the Niantec lawsuit over Pokémon GO, see: James Bareham, "Niantic is tweaking Pokémon Go to settle a lawsuit with angry homeowners," The Verge, February 15, 2019, https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/15/18226604/niantic-pokemon-go-lawsuit-changes-settlement-private-property-pokestop-gym.

Over 60% of Americans identify as Christians, but is that accurate? How can we really know if someone is saved? Does an Instagram bio with John 3:16 in it qualify?In today's episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk about some biblical standards by which we can evaluate the difference between genuine faith and one that isn't. Our hope is that as you listen, you first and foremost look at your own heart and faith to evaluate where you stand with Jesus and can be encouraged that Jesus gives so much grace and that it is never too late while you're on this earth to be made right with Jesus!The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis. The 17:17 podcast seeks to teach the truth of God's Word in a way that is glorifying to God and easy to understand with the hope of furthering God's kingdom in Spirit and in Truth. Scriptures: John 14:6; Eph. 2:8-9; Rom. 10:9; Acts 16:30-31; 1 John 1:8-10; Matt. 22:37-38; John 14:15; 1 John 2:3; 1 John 5:3; 1 John 3:18-19; John 3:36; John 14:21; Matt. 7:21; Luke 6:46; 1 John 3:9; Matt. 22:39; James 2:8; 1 John 4:7-8; 1 John 3:14, 17; John 13:34-35; Matt. 5:43-44; Psa. 97:10; Psa. 119:104; Prov. 13:5; Prov. 8:13; Rom. 7:15, 24; 1 John 2:15; James 4:4; Matt. 7:16-20; Gal. 5:19-24; Phil. 2: 14-15; 2 Cor. 13:5; James 2:14, 17; 1 Cor. 3:12-13; 1 John 5:13; Heb. 4:12; 1 John 2:1-2.Please listen, subscribe, rate, and review the podcast so that we can reach to larger audiences and share the truth of God's Word with them!Write in your own questions to be answered on the show at 1717pod@gmail.com or tweet at us @1717pod on Twitter.  God bless!

O livro escrito por Davide Sisto foi o mote para conversa entre Fernando Alvim, Clara Saraiva e Valério Romão.

     Concerning the transmission of original sin, Jesus is the sole exception, for Mary's virgin conception meant Jesus was not born with the taint of original sin. Being free from original sin, Jesus also had no sin nature. Furthermore, Jesus lived His entire life and committed no personal sin. Scripture reveals Jesus “knew no sin” (2 Cor 5:21), was “without sin” (Heb 4:15), “committed no sin” (1 Pet 2:22), and in whom “there is no sin” (1 John 3:5). His sinless life qualified Him to die a substitutionary death in our place, “the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God” (1 Pet 3:18). Jesus died for everyone and paid the penalty for our sin (John 3:16; Heb 2:9; 1 John 2:2). Though His death is sufficient for all to be saved (unlimited atonement), the benefits of the cross are applied only to those who believe in Him.      Related to the subject of sin is the biblical concept of total depravity, which means that sin permeates every aspect of our being; our mind, will, sensibilities and flesh are all contaminated by sin. Total depravity does not mean we are as bad as we can be, for there are many moral unbelievers in the world. Being contaminated by sin means whatever morality we produce can never measure up to the perfect righteousness God expects. Is there any person who can say, “I have cleansed my heart, I am pure from my sin?” (Prov 20:9). The answer is an emphatic NO! The human heart is corrupt, for “the heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick” (Jer 17:9). And “Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins” (Eccl 7:20), and “There is none righteous; not even one. There is none who understands; there is none who seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become useless. There is none who does good, there is not even one” (Rom 3:10-12; cf. Rom 8:8). Some might argue that we can perform good works and help to save ourselves. This is wrong. Scripture states, “your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God” (Isa 59:2), “For all of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; and all of us wither like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away” (Isa 64:6), and we are “justified by faith apart from works of the Law” (Rom 3:28), and salvation comes “to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly” (Rom 4:5), and we are “not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified” (Gal 2:16), “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Eph 2:8-9), and God “has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity” (2 Tim 1:9), and “He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit” (Tit 3:5). By human estimation, even the worst person can do some good. But human estimation is lower than God's estimation and it is God's standards that define what is truly good. According to Ryrie, “Total depravity must always be measured against God's holiness. Relative goodness exists in people. They can do good works, which are appreciated by others. But nothing that anyone can do will gain salvational merit or favor in the sight of a holy God.”[1] J. I. Packer states: "The phrase total depravity is commonly used to make explicit the implications of original sin. It signifies a corruption of our moral and spiritual nature that is total not in degree (for no one is as bad as he or she might be) but in extent. It declares that no part of us is untouched by sin, and therefore no action of ours is as good as it should be, and consequently nothing in us or about us ever appears meritorious in God's eyes. We cannot earn God's favor, no matter what we do; unless grace saves us, we are lost."[2]   [1] Charles Caldwell Ryrie, Basic Theology, 253. [2] J. I. Packer, Concise Theology: A Guide to Historic Christian Beliefs (Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House, 1993

For nearly ten years, lawyer Randy Schoenberg represented Austrian Maria Altmann in her quest to recover her family’s paintings that had been stolen by the Nazis during World War II. The exquisite paintings, valued at more than $325 million, were discovered in museums where they had been displayed for decades. Schoenberg persisted on Altmann’s behalf, appealing to many judges, including the U.S. Supreme Court, before winning her case. In Genesis 18, we find Abraham in a bargaining conversation with the Lord. Sodom and Gomorrah were the “Sin Cities” of the day. The mercy cries of the oppressed and powerless had reached the ears of the Lord (vv. 20– 21). God was on the verge of pouring out another round of destruction. But before God punished Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham courageously pled their case (v. 22). Even though the Scriptures do not explicitly mention Lot, Abraham’s nephew and his family was most likely on his mind, since they were still in Sodom. The premise of Abraham’s argument to the Lord was: “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?” (v. 23). Beginning with 50 and working his way down to ten, Abraham witnessed the Lord’s mercy and goodness in one hypothetical measurement at a time. Using the skills of an experienced arbitrator, he interceded for the righteous in Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham’s intervention before God on behalf of the righteous may remind you of the way Jesus has intervened for us! Centuries later, Jesus would stand before the Father to intercede for our deliverance from death and destruction (Rom. 8:34). >> For whom can you intercede today? As a godly leader, you may be asked to stand up for the rights of another. And certainly, we can intercede for them through prayer. Using Abraham as a model, pray for those you know who are lost and need the Savior.

Three particular truths, the gospel is powerful, the gospel is propitiation, and the gospel is proclaimed. The Gospel is powerful - It should be trusted to do its job. (Eph. 2:10) The Gospel is propitiation - Christ brought reconciliation and paid the penalty for your sin. (Rom.3:23-25; 2Cor.5:21) The Gospel is proclaimed - The gospel must be shared which is why we are here on this earth. (Acts 16:25) ★ Support this podcast ★

Banda Carnaval - Segunda Temporada 2023 Románticas by Chris Magic

  * 2 Corinthians: Paul constructed Second Corinthians as a key for understanding all of the Pauline Epistles, especially for the Christians who doubt the unique teaching that Jesus revealed through this Apostle.  To undergird his controversial Gospel of Grace (Rom. 4:5; 11:13; 1 Cor. 3:10; 15:1; Gal. 2:7; Eph. 2:8-9; etc.), the Apostle Paul realized that he must defend his own unique authority against his critics and against negative comparisons to the other apostles. He does this more aggressively when writing to the Galatians, but in greater length when writing to the Corinthians, beginning with his initial letter (1 Cor. 1:1, 17; 3:10; 4:16; 9:1-2, 17; 11:1; 14:37; 15:3, 9). Then the first half of Second Corinthians (chapters 1 – 7) describes the characteristics of an apostle as Paul builds toward the defense of his own ministry to rebut the attacks against his own apostleship.  The greater eloquence of the other apostles, for example, in no way diminishes the revelation that God has given to Paul (11:5-6). And though the Lord performed miracles through all the apostles for the sick, no one should doubt the Apostle to the Gentiles even though God never healed Paul's own physical infirmity. For through this ordeal God has established that, “My grace is sufficient for you…” (12:9, 11). Also, Paul bluntly recognized that while the Corinthians, “seek a proof of Christ speaking in me”, they should “examine” themselves “as to whether [they] are in the faith”, but regardless, Paul's own authority is beyond question (13:1-6).  The Ten Commandments, “written… on tablets of stone” are a “ministry of death”. Paul uses this shocking truth to distinguish between the two covenants and therefore, between two covenant peoples, for the “covenant” of the law “kills, but the [new covenant of] the Spirit gives life” (2 Cor. 3:3, 6-7). In chapters 8 and 9 Paul urges Paul's converts to cheerfully raise funds to give to the impoverished Jerusalem believers. For as we learned from The Acts of the Apostles, the converts of the Twelve, i.e., the circumcision believers, sold their homes and lands, unlike Paul's converts, those of “the gospel of the uncircumcision” (Gal. 2:7, KJV), who did not sell off their property. For Paul instructs us to test “the things that differ” (Rom. 2:18 KJV margin).

Ioana este, de mai bine de un deceniu, omul din spatele fenomenului Art Safari. În 2015, a uimit și contrariat pe toată lumea când a decis să facă prima ediție într-un imens garaj dărăpănat, pe bulevardul Magheru, în București. Azi, Art Safari este cel mai mare conglomerat de expoziții de artă din România. ”Casa” oficială este, acum, Palatul Dacia România, din centrul vechi al Capitalei. Aspirația Ioanei este de a pune România pe o hartă a circuitului internațional de artă în care a fost inexistentă în ultimele decenii. Are, spune, o atracție față de lucrurile imposibile. Este ”autorul” primului program de artă în spațiul public din România de după 1990, în Piața Presei din București. A adus la București colecții de la Victoria și Albert Museum din Londra. A dus arta la Aeroportul Henri Coandă și la Metrou. De la finalul lunii iunie, la București vor fi expuse portrete de la National Portret Gallery. Am vorbit cu ea despre artă și pragmatism, despre de ce să nu accepți niciodată un ”nu”, despre cum a găsit în grădiniță înclinația către artă, despre cât e de important să ai o ambiție mare, cum să negociezi cu parteneri mult mai puternici, lucrurile mai puțin știute care i-au influențat viața și prioritățile și cum să înveți să privești arta. **** Podcastul Vast&Curious este susținut de AROBS, cea mai mare companie de tehnologie listată la bursă. AROBS este o companie românească fondată acum 25 de ani la Cluj, cu birouri în opt țări și parteneri și clienți în Europa, America și Asia.  AROBS crede într-o cultură a implicării, a evoluției continue și a parteneriatului pe termen lung. Este una dintre puținele companii românești care oferă fiecărui angajat acțiuni gratuite în pachetul obișnuit de beneficii.  **** Acest podcast este susținut de Dedeman, o companie antreprenorială 100% românească ce crede în puterea de a schimba lumea prin ambiție, perseverență și implicare. Dedeman susține ideile noi, inovația, educația și spiritul antreprenorial și este partener strategic al The Vast&The Curious. Împreună, creăm oportunități pentru conversații cu sens și întrebări care ne fac mai buni, ca oameni și ca organizații.  **** Note, un sumar al conversației, precum și cărțile și oamenii la care facem referire în podcast se găsesc pe andreearosca.ro Pentru a primi noi episoade, vă puteți abona la newsletter pe andreearosca.ro.

In Season 3 Episode 10, we talk about how those who want to FINISH WELL invest in others by giving away to others what God has given to them. In the previous episode we talked about WHAT to invest in others and in this episode we talk specifically about HOW to do that. We invest in others through our S.H.A.P.E. - Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, and Experiences.Mentioned in this episode:Spiritual Gifts InventoryScripture References: 1 Peter 4:10, Rom. 12:4-8, 1 Cor. 12:1-11, 27-31, Eph. 4:11-13, 1 Peter 4:9-11, Prov. 27:19, 2 Cor. 1:3-4, Ex. 31

Introduction      Luke had previously addressed the conflict that arose in the early church between the Hellenistic Jews and the native Jews over the matter of food distribution to the widows in the community (Acts 6:1). To resolve the issue, the apostles directed “the congregation of the disciples” (Acts 6:2) to select seven men of “good reputation” who would make sure the widows were being cared for on a daily basis (Acts 6:2-3). The apostle's reason was so they could devote themselves “to prayer and to the ministry of the word” (Acts 6:4). The seven men who were selected were described as being “full of the Spirit and of wisdom” (Act 6:3), and “full of faith and of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 6:5), and were approved by the apostles for their ministry (Acts 6:6). Afterwards, we're told, “The word of God kept on spreading; and the number of the disciples continued to increase greatly in Jerusalem” (Acts 6:7). In the following pericope, Luke singled out Stephen, who was a transitional figure in the early church. Stephen takes up such a large section in Acts because he is the first Christian martyr and his death marks the beginning of the great church persecution that scattered Christians all over the world. Text      Luke wrote, “And Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people” (Acts 6:8). Previously, Stephen was among those who were said to be “full of the Spirit and of wisdom” (Acts 6:3), and specifically was “a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 6:5). And here, Stephen was said to be “full of grace and power” (Acts 6:8). The Greek adjective πλήρης pleres, translated full of, appears 16 times in the NT, with half of the occurrences in Acts. According to Mounce, the word means to be “completely under the influence of, or affected by.”[1] Stephen was marked by the good qualities one would like to see in a godly leader. The word grace translates the Greek word χάρις charis, which commonly denotes unmerited favor or undeserved kindness, but here means “a winning quality or attractiveness … charm, winsomeness.”[2] Furthermore, Stephen was under the influence of God's power, Who was working through His servant to perform “great wonders and signs among the people” (Acts 6:8b). It is assumed these signs and wonders were similar to those performed by the apostles, and that it was done to promote the gospel message to others in the community. According to Charles Swindoll, “In faith, Stephen submitted himself to the direction of the Holy Spirit and worked to serve the church. This is exactly the kind of faithful Christian God loves to use to do big things. Stephen took his faith seriously, and he yielded to the Holy Spirit's control. That's what it means to be ‘full' in this way.”[3] But godliness does not come without resistance. According to Arnold Fruchtenbaum, “Because of his actions in this context, Stephen ended up being the first member of the church to qualify for the martyr's crown. The main purpose of the book of Acts is to tell the story of Peter and Paul, and Stephen is the link between these two key apostles: he was appointed by Peter, but Paul will be consenting to his death.”[4]      Because the church exists in a fallen world, where Satan is ruling in a limited way (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11; 2 Cor 4:4; Eph 2:2; 1 John 5:19), and where many people are resistant to God's work (Matt 7:13; John 3:19; Rom 1:18), it was only a matter of time before a conflict arose. Luke informs us, “But some men from what was called the Synagogue of the Freedmen, including both Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and some from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and argued with Stephen” (Acts 6:9). Here, we have some men who were from a specific synagogue called “the Synagogue of the Freedmen”, which consisted either of Jewish men who had previously been slaves and were now free, or were the sons of those who'd previously been freed. Their common bond was their freedom from physical slavery, yet they were hostile to Stephen who offered them spiritual freedom in Christ (Acts 6:9-14; cf. Acts 26:18; Col 1:13). Thomas Constable notes, “Like local churches today, these synagogues tended to attract people with similar backgrounds and preferences. Many families that had experienced liberation from some kind of slavery or servitude evidently populated the Synagogue of the Freedmen.”[5] And Charles Swindoll states: "Synagogues not only held services for worship and teaching, but they also served as community centers where people met socially. This made them ideal locations to discuss theology. Stephen and the other believers regularly frequented synagogues, looking for opportunities to testify about Jesus the Messiah and His resurrection from the dead. Stephen quickly demonstrated a remarkable ability to debate, which infuriated these freedmen (Acts 6:10)."[6]      That these men “rose up and argued with Stephen” means they opposed his preaching, not necessarily his grace or good works. We're not told exactly what Stephen was preaching, but from their opposing arguments that follow, it was related to Jesus, the Mosaic Law, and the temple. The apostle Paul was a “Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia” (Acts 21:39) and may have fellowshipped in this particular synagogue. If so, it would make sense why he was listed among those who approved of Stephen's killing in the next chapter (Acts 7:58).      But these Jewish men, collectively, could not adequately defend their position against Stephen's well-reasoned and robust teaching. Luke tells us, “But they were unable to cope with the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking” (Acts 6:10). Because Stephen was so proficient in his presentation of God's Word, showing from Scripture that Jesus is the Christ, he threatened the theological base of those who opposed him. Stephen appears as an unusually gifted teacher who was able to communicate God's Word. Apparently Stephen presented his case with such compelling force that the Hellenistic Jews were unable to cope with his wisdom. Luke's comment about Stephen speaking by “the Spirit” implies his words were divinely sanctioned. That is, they originated with God the Holy Spirit and were truth. This appears to be a display of what Jesus told His disciples, saying, “I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute” (Luke 21:15). Rational words only work with rational minds, and those given over to sin are not always rational. Furthermore, winning an argument does not mean winning a heart, as some who are recalcitrant and committed to their sinful ways will not be persuaded by solid biblical reasoning, but will only dig in their heels (cf., Jer 25:3; John 3:19). That Stephen spoke by the wisdom of the Holy Spirit meant his detractors were actually arguing with God, and thus it was an unfair debate. When the Jews from the Synagogue of the Freedmen could not win their debate by rational means—since they were governed by pride—they resorted to sinful practices that are common to the world. Luke wrote: "Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God.” 12 And they stirred up the people, the elders and the scribes, and they came up to him and dragged him away and brought him before the Council. They put forward false witnesses who said, “This man incessantly speaks against this holy place and the Law; for we have heard him say that this Nazarene, Jesus, will destroy this place and alter the customs which Moses handed down to us.” (Acts 6:11-14)      Stephen was treated the same as the Lord Jesus, where Jewish leaders employed false witnesses to testify against Him, declaring He would destroy the temple. Mark tells us in his Gospel, “Some stood up and began to give false testimony against Him, saying, We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands'” (Mark 14:57-58). Though it was Stephen standing before the Sanhedrin, it was as though Jesus were on trial all over again. However, before the supreme court of heaven, and God, “the Judge of all the earth” (Gen 18:25), it was these unbelieving Jewish men and the Sanhedrin itself that was on trial. Apparently the Sanhedrin had so elevated Moses, that they considered one who spoke against him as worthy of capital punishment. Josephus says of them, “What they most of all honor, after God himself, is the name of their legislator [Moses]; whom, if any one blaspheme, he is punished capitally.”[7]      Those who opposed Stephen, assuming they knew the Law at all, might have been thinking of when Moses wrote, “the person who does anything defiantly, whether he is native or an alien, that one is blaspheming the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from among his people” (Num 15:30). Of course, these men only used the Scripture as a means of controlling others and destroying their enemies. Luke tells us these men 1) “secretly induced men to say” false things about Stephen (Acts 6:11), 2) “stirred up the people, the elders and the scribes” (Acts 6:12a) 3) “dragged him away and brought him before the Council” (Acts 6:12b), and 4) “put forward false witnesses” to accuse him (Acts 6:13).      These wicked men violated the Scripture in order to protect their power. It was evil that they secretly induced men to spread lies about Stephen, which is a direct violation of the ninth commandment, “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” (Ex 20:16). Spreading a lie and stirring up the people was their tactic to manipulate the situation and win local support, which they felt they needed to overpower Stephen and the influence he was having on those who heard him. It's noteworthy that such actions are a common tactic among the wicked, as David prayed to the Lord, saying, “Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out violence” (Psa 27:12). Once they had their false charges and the support of others, they grabbed Stephen and brought him before the Sanhedrin. Luke employs the Greek word συναρπάζω sunarpazo (translated dragged away) which, according to BDAG, means “to take hold of forcibly, to seize someone.”[8] One can imagine a group of strong men approaching Stephen and grabbing him by force and dragging him through the city to bring him before the Sanhedrin. This reveals the physical actions some people will resort to when dealing with God's people, all because they feel threatened by divine revelation and will seek to shut down those who communicate it by whatever means necessary.      Once the false witnesses were put before the Sanhedrin, they said, “we have heard him say that this Nazarene, Jesus, will destroy this place and alter the customs which Moses handed down to us” (Acts 6:14). The charge that was brought against Stephen echoed that which had been brought against Jesus a few months earlier (Mark 14:57-58). For the Sanhedrin, this was Déjà vu all over again. According to Stanley Toussaint: "The false witnesses were not necessarily outright liars. Stephen had probably said the things they accused him of; however, they misrepresented the intentions and imports of his statements (cf. Matt 26:61; Mark 14:58; John 2:19). The Lord Himself predicted the destruction of the temple (Matt 24:1–2; Mark 13:1–2; Luke 21:5–6), though He never said He would do it. The other half of the allegation against Stephen involved the temporary nature of the Mosaic system. Undoubtedly he saw the theological implications of justification by faith and the fulfillment of the Law in Christ. Furthermore, if the gospel was for the whole world (Acts 1:8), the Law had to be a temporary arrangement."[9]      Luke closed out this pericope, saying, “And fixing their gaze on him, all who were sitting in the Council saw his face like the face of an angel” (Acts 6:15). The Sanhedrin, fixing their collective stares at Stephen, were probably trying to intimidate him. That, along with the false charges, would normally frighten anyone in that situation. But Luke tells us they “saw his face like the face of an angel” (Acts 6:15b). This could very well be God's shekinah glory, resting on Stephen as it had rested on Moses after he'd spoken with the Lord, and whose “face shone” for others to see (Ex 34:29). It could also be Luke's way of saying that Stephen displayed a calmness in the face of his accusers. If so, it reveals a relaxed mental attitude in the face of hostility. No doubt, the Lord was with Stephen, and His Word saturated his thinking, so much so, that Stephen remained calm in the face of great pressure. Present Application      As God's people, we must be faithful to Him in those moments when we have opportunity to share Christ and His Word. When we share Christ with others, it gives them the opportunity believe in Him as their Savior, believing He died for them, was buried, and raised again on the third day (1 Cor 15:3-4). Once they believe in Jesus as their Savior, they receive forgiveness of sins (Eph 1:7), eternal life (John 10:28), the gift of righteousness (Rom 5:17; Phil 3:9), and many other blessings (Eph 1:3). However, we must also keep in mind that we live in a fallen world that is largely governed by Satan (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11; 2 Cor 4:4; Eph 2:2; 1 John 5:19), and where the vast majority of people are under “the dominion of Satan” (Act 26:18), and reside in his “domain of darkness” (Col 1:13). It is in this realm that we live our lives and must proclaim the truth of God's Word, as lights in a dark world (Eph 5:8-10; Phil 2:5). Sadly, the majority of people in this world will seek to suppress the truth in unrighteousness (Rom 1:18), and to silence God's messengers by whatever means they can. Yet we must be strong, for God has told us, “I will never leave you or forsake you” (Heb 13:5); therefore, we take courage, for “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid” (Heb 13:6a). Knowing God's Word and walking with Him erects a fortress in our souls that enables us to stand in the face of great pressure. Dr. Steven R. Cook   [1] William D.

And Balaam said to him, “I have arranged the seven altars and I have offered on each altar a bull and a ram.” And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth and said, “Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.” And he returned to him, and behold, he and all the princes of Moab were standing beside his burnt offering. And Balaam took up his discourse and said, “From Aram Balak has brought me, the king of Moab from the eastern mountains:‘Come, curse Jacob for me, and come, denounce Israel!' How can I curse whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce whom the LORD has not denounced? For from the top of the crags I see him, from the hills I behold him; behold, a people dwelling alone, and not counting itself among the nations! Who can count the dust of Jacob or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the upright, and let my end be like his!” And Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have done nothing but bless them.” And he answered and said, “Must I not take care to speak what the LORD puts in my mouth?” And Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place, from which you may see them. You shall see only a fraction of them and shall not see them all. Then curse them for me from there.” And he took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar. Balaam said to Balak, “Stand here beside your burnt offering, while I meet the LORD over there.” And the LORD met Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said, “Return to Balak, and thus shall you speak.” And he came to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, “What has the LORD spoken?” And Balaam took up his discourse and said, “Rise, Balak, and hear; give ear to me, O son of Zippor: God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it? Behold, I received a command to bless: he has blessed, and I cannot revoke it. He has not beheld misfortune in Jacob, nor has he seen trouble in Israel. The LORD their God is with them, and the shout of a king is among them. God brings them out of Egypt and is for them like the horns of the wild ox. For there is no enchantment against Jacob, no divination against Israel; now it shall be said of Jacob and Israel, ‘What has God wrought!' Behold, a people! As a lioness it rises up and as a lion it lifts itself; it does not lie down until it has devoured the prey and drunk the blood of the slain.” And Balak said to Balaam, “Do not curse them at all, and do not bless them at all.” But Balaam answered Balak, “Did I not tell you, ‘All that the LORD says, that I must do'?” And Balak said to Balaam, “Come now, I will take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.” So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which overlooks the desert. Luke 22:47-71 While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him, but Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him. Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs? When I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.” Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest's house, and Peter was following at a distance. And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, “This man also was with him.” But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.” And a little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.” And after an interval of about an hour still another insisted, saying, “Certainly this man also was with him, for he too is a Galilean.” But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly. Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking him as they beat him. They also blindfolded him and kept asking him, “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?” And they said many other things against him, blaspheming him. When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. And they led him away to their council, and they said, “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe, and if I ask you, you will not answer. But from now on the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” So they all said, “Are you the Son of God, then?” And he said to them, “You say that I am.” Then they said, “What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips.” The Sacrament of Holy Baptism What does such baptizing with water indicate?It indicates that the Old Adam in us should by daily contrition and repentance be drowned and die with all sins and evil desires, and that a new man should daily emerge and arise to live before God in righteousness and purity forever.Where is this written?St. Paul writes in Romans chapter six: “We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” (Rom. 6:4)

During the early days of the COVID-19 Pandemic, being at home with my thoughts, I kept busy by researching mokuhanga. And one of my many discoveries was the exhibition at the Portland Art Museum held from September 24, 2020, to June 13, 2021, called Joryū Hanga Kyøkai, 1956-1965: Japan's Women Printmakers and curated by Japan Foundation Associate Curator of Japanese Art and Interim Head of Asian Art Jeannie Kenmotsu. It was an exhibition of mokuhanga, etchings, and lithography of a group of printmakers I didn't know much about. Individually I may have heard their names but as a group? I needed to learn more.    History is an essential part of mokuhanga; to search out those printmakers who have come before us to understand what they did and how they did it. I have learned so much from the past that I can use it in my own work for my present and future.        On this episode of The Unfinished Print, I speak with Jeannie Kenmotsu, Ph.D., about the Joryu Hanga Kyokai and, the road to this exhibition, the work that went behind it. We explore how the Joryu Hanga Kyokai showed a different face of printmaking in Japan. We discuss Tokyo during the 1950s and 1960s, the mokuhanga and print culture of the time, internationalism, and how this exhibition could catalyze more research on this incredible group.  Please follow The Unfinished Print and my own mokuhanga work on Instagram @andrezadoroznyprints or email me at theunfinishedprint@gmail.com  Notes: may contain a hyperlink. Simply click on the highlighted word or phrase. Artists works follow after the note. Pieces are mokuhanga unless otherwise noted. Dimensions are given if known. Joryū Hanga Kyōkai, 1956-1965: Japan's Women Printmakers - was an exhibition curated by Jeannie Kenmotsu from September 24, 2020 - June 13, 2021, at the Portland Art Museum.
