They also read Torah, believed in Moses' prophetic mission, and loved God. They offered to help rebuild the Jerusalem temple, but were forbidden.

COMMENTAIRE DE LA 1ère LECTURE DU JOURMi 6, 1-4.6-8Écoutez donc ce que dit le Seigneur : Lève-toi ! Engage un procès avec les montagnes, et que les collines entendent ta voix. Montagnes, écoutez le procès du Seigneur, vous aussi, fondements inébranlables de la terre. Car le Seigneur est en procès avec son peuple, il plaide contre Israël : Mon peuple, que t'ai-je fait ? En quoi t'ai-je fatigué ? Réponds-moi. Est-ce parce que je t'ai fait monter du pays d'Égypte, que je t'ai racheté de la maison d'esclavage, et que je t'ai donné comme guides Moïse, Aaron et Miryam ? « Comment dois-je me présenter devant le Seigneur ? demande le peuple. Comment m'incliner devant le Très-Haut ? Dois-je me présenter avec de jeunes taureaux pour les offrir en holocaustes ? Prendra-t-il plaisir à recevoir des milliers de béliers, à voir des flots d'huile répandus sur l'autel ? Donnerai-je mon fils aîné pour prix de ma révolte, le fruit de mes entrailles pour mon propre péché ? – Homme, répond le prophète, on t'a fait connaître ce qui est bien, ce que le Seigneur réclame de toi : rien d'autre que respecter le droit, aimer la fidélité, et t'appliquer à marcher avec ton Dieu. »
When I think of surrendering my life to God, I think of Carrie Underwood's song, “Jesus Take The Wheel”. I imagine myself letting go of the steering wheel of my life, and trusting in Him to steer me through the trials I face. But life isn't a highway, and giving the Lord control over everything is a lot more complicated than just letting go of the steering wheel. In today's message, Pastor Jeff is going to teach us about what it means to truly surrender to the Holy Spirit and let Him control every aspect of our lives.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a feeling many first responders carry but rarely say out loud — the quiet sense that everyone else is moving forward while you are somehow falling behind. Promotions you missed. Vacations that never happened. Holidays worked. Kids' events you were not there for. Financial milestones that shifted because the schedule made everything harder. While the rest of the world seemed to be building something, the job was consuming the time and energy that building requires. This episode is an honest conversation about comparison, missed milestones, and what shift work actually costs first responders beyond the paycheck.

Cross References:Hebrews 10:5-10Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me; in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure. Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.' When he said above, You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings (these are offered according to the law), then he added, Behold, I have come to do your will. He does away with the first in order to establish the second. And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.Luke 24:25-27And he said to them, O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory? And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.John 5:39You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,Acts 2:23-32this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it. For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken; therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; my flesh also will dwell in hope. For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, or let your Holy One see corruption. You have made known to me the paths of life; you will make me full of gladness with your presence.' Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses.Ephesians 2:13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.----------Scripture quotations are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.

William Lane Craig recently explained why he no longer believes Revelation 20 describes a literal millennial reign of Christ. In this episode, Peter Goeman examines Craig's arguments, his interpretation of the first resurrection, and his claim that premillennialism creates insurmountable theological problems.Does Craig's approach arise from careful biblical exegesis, or does he allow philosophical assumptions to override the straightforward meaning of Scripture? This discussion considers Revelation 20, Old Testament kingdom prophecies, millennial sacrifices, the resurrection, and the importance of authorial intent.Time Stamps:00:00 William Lane Craig Changes His Eschatology04:25 Will There Be a Literal Millennium?05:51 Craig on the First Resurrection & Literalism13:13 Does the Millennium Contradict the Rest of Scripture?20:18 The Major Problem with Craig's Methodology22:31 What Did the Old Testament Prophets Predict?28:34 Millennial Sacrifices and Ezekiel's Temple35:45 Craig's Objections to the Millennial Kingdom47:46 Philosophy, Exegesis, and the Authority of ScriptureVideo on Sacrifices in Ezekiel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTD4x5-qij4WLC article reviewed in this video: https://www.reasonablefaith.org/writings/question-answer/will-there-be-a-millenniumIf you have found the podcast helpful, consider leaving a review on Itunes or rating it on Spotify.

1 My son, keep my words. Lay up my commandments within you. 2 Keep my commandments and live! Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye. 3 Bind them on your fingers. Write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Tell wisdom, “You are my sister.” Call understanding your relative, 5 that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the foreigner who flatters with her words. 6 For at the window of my house, I looked out through my lattice. 7 I saw among the simple ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding, 8 passing through the street near her corner, he went the way to her house, 9 in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night and in the darkness. 10 Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, and with crafty intent. 11 She is loud and defiant. Her feet don't stay in her house. 12 Now she is in the streets, now in the squares, and lurking at every corner. 13 So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him: 14 “Sacrifices of peace offerings are with me. Today I have paid my vows. 15 Therefore I came out to meet you, to diligently seek your face, and I have found you. 16 I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let's take our fill of loving until the morning. Let's solace ourselves with loving. 19 For my husband isn't at home. He has gone on a long journey. 20 He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon.” 21 With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him. 22 He followed her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, as a fool stepping into a noose. 23 Until an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hurries to the snare, and doesn't know that it will cost his life. 24 Now therefore, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to the words of my mouth. 25 Don't let your heart turn to her ways. Don't go astray in her paths, 26 for she has thrown down many wounded. Yes, all her slain are a mighty army. 27 Her house is the way to Sheol,* going down to the rooms of death. Listen Donate Subscribe: Proverbs Daily Podcast Psalms Daily Podcast
In this episode of the Derek Hunter Podcast, guest host Dean Karayanis rings in the start of America's second 250 years with an unapologetically optimistic look at the nation's future. Drawing inspiration from his three decades working with Rush Limbaugh, Dean challenges the prevailing negativity and historical revisionism seen on social media. He dives deep into primary historical sources to bring to life the real, human stories of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, recounting the immense personal sacrifices, financial ruin, and physical brilliance of patriots like Robert Morris, Richard Stockton, and Abraham Clark. Along the way, Dean dissects the media's obsession with climate alarmism, contrasts the raw authenticity of figures like Donald Trump and Bill Clinton against modern political standards, and reviews the film “Young Washington,” reminding listeners that true leadership is forged through perseverance, learning from failure, and an unyielding commitment to liberty.
Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we continue our tour through the Psalms, stopping to notice the themes, connections, and biblical images that prepare us for deeper study later. Rather than diving into every detail, we're acting as tour guides, pointing out the landmarks that help us understand the bigger picture of the Psalms.We begin with Psalms 42 and 43, where the psalmist longs for the living God in a world filled with lifeless gods. As the psalmist wrestles with discouragement, he repeatedly finds hope in God's chesed—His steadfast, covenant love. We also discover why being in God's presence, at His house, was the source of true joy and delight for Israel.Moving through Psalms 44–50, we see a recurring message emerge: the God of Israel is the true King over every nation. Though Israel was a small nation surrounded by powerful empires, these psalms remind God's people that their King reigns above every earthly ruler and every false god. Along the way, we explore the Messianic hope found in Psalm 45, the comforting promises of Psalm 46, and the majestic descriptions of God's power and kingship that fill Psalms 47–49.Finally, Psalm 50 reminds us that God never desired sacrifices for their own sake. Sacrifices were never meant to "fix" sin; they were God's gracious means of restoring relationship with Him. That truth prepares us beautifully for Psalm 51, where we see that genuine repentance and God's mercy bring the forgiveness that every sinner needs.Throughout these psalms, one message rises above the rest: our God is the living King. He reigns over every nation, remains faithful through His steadfast love, and continually invites His people into His presence.If you want the FREE hand outs that go along with this series, sign up for our newsletter at our website.

Is anything sacred for Democrats when it comes to helping citizens.The short version is this: federal agents raided the home and office of LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, and multiple reports indicate the investigation is tied to LAUSD's failed AI chatbot project called "Ed," which was developed through a multimillion-dollar contract with the education technology company AllHere. Carvalho has not been charged with any crime, and the FBI has not publicly disclosed the full scope of the investigation. What happened?On February 25, 2026, the FBI executed search warrants at:Carvalho's home in Los Angeles LAUSD headquarters A Florida residence connected to education consultant Debra Kerr, who had ties to AllHere and Carvalho dating back to his time in Miami-Dade schools. Two days later, the LAUSD Board placed Carvalho on paid leave. On June 21, 2026, Carvalho resigned as superintendent, though he continued to deny wrongdoing. Authorities still have not announced any charges against him. What was the chatbot controversy?The controversy centers on an AI assistant called "Ed."LAUSD unveiled Ed in 2024 with considerable publicity. The chatbot was marketed as a personalized digital assistant for students and parents that could:Track grades and attendance Provide academic recommendations Translate communications into roughly 100 languages Help families navigate school services Carvalho championed the project as a major innovation for the district. The problem is that the vendor behind Ed, AllHere, collapsed shortly after launch.Why did it become a scandal?Several issues emerged:1. The company imploded.Within months of Ed's rollout, AllHere furloughed employees, entered bankruptcy, and ceased operations. LAUSD terminated the relationship after already paying millions of dollars toward the project. 2. The founder was indicted.AllHere founder Joanna Smith-Griffin was later charged with securities fraud, wire fraud, and identity theft related to allegations that investors were misled about the company's financial condition. 3. Questions arose about how the contract was awarded.Investigative reporting uncovered connections between AllHere and consultant Debra Kerr, who had longstanding professional ties to Carvalho. Kerr later claimed she was owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions related to the LAUSD deal. Federal investigators reportedly began examining the financial aspects of the contract and the relationships surrounding it. 4. Student data concerns surfaced.After AllHere's collapse, critics raised concerns about how student information was handled and whether proper safeguards existed for data collected through the chatbot. Is Carvalho accused of anything?Not publicly.That distinction is important.The FBI searches indicate investigators believed there was sufficient reason to gather evidence, but as of today:Carvalho has not been charged. Prosecutors have not publicly accused him of criminal conduct. The search warrant affidavits remain sealed. His attorneys continue to maintain he acted lawfully and was not involved in selecting AllHere as a vendor.

Many Christians assume the Old Testament is primarily about rules, restrictions, sacrifices, and barriers between God and humanity.But what if those things existed for the exact opposite reason?In this episode, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb explores one of the Bible's most important themes: God's relentless desire to dwell with His people. From Eden to the Tabernacle, from the Temple to Jesus, Scripture tells the story of a God who continually moves toward humanity—even after humanity moves away from Him.Why did God's presence become dangerous after Genesis 3? What were priests, sacrifices, and purity laws actually accomplishing? And how does Jesus restore what was lost in Eden?Join us as we trace the story of God's presence across Scripture and discover why the Old Testament may not be what you think it is.#bible #podcast #jesus #faith #christ #christianeducation #christian #oldtestament #biblestudy #devotional #scholar #god Study deeper with GlossaHouse:

The Letter to the Romans shows how God's love is revealed through the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross, inspiring us to follow the Lord for sacrificial service in the world. (Lectionary #91) June 13, 2026 - St. William Catholic Church - Foxboro, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com
Sermon from 06-14-2026
Journey Church Sunday Worship Gathering Audio - Bozeman, Montana
Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | June 14, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Romans 1:16-17, Romans 12:1-2 Reflection Questions:1. Where in your spiritual life have you struggled to see the change you have wanted to see? What has made that change difficult for you? What area of your life do you find yourself regularly disobeying God? Read Romans 12:1-22. “Therefore”What is the “therefore” there for? What is Paul referring back to at the beginning of chapter 12? 3. “In view of God's mercy”Why would reflecting on the grace and the mercy of God provide motivation and a catalyst to desire change in your life or obey God? Have you ever obeyed out of fear rather than gratitude? What is the challenge/problem of letting fear be the motivation to surrender your life to God? 4. Take a few minutes to reflect on the cross of Jesus and on how you have seen the grace and mercy of God in your life. Share some of the ways you have seen God's mercy. Take a few minutes to thank God in prayer for what He has done. 5. What does it mean to “offer your body as a living sacrifice”? What are examples of how you have done this or should be doing this? Are there any areas of your life that you are holding back from God? Explain. What makes these areas of your life difficult to surrender to God? 6. “True and proper” is literally translated “logical” (greek: logicon)Why is surrender to God the only “logical” response to the good news of the gospel? 7. “Do not conform to the pattern of this world”What does it mean to conform to the pattern of this world?What assumptions do I hold that come more from culture than Scripture? How does the world think differently than God in the areas of success, happiness, identity, sexuality, money, or power? 8. Where am I adopting cultural values instead of biblical values? Where do I need to renew my thinking? 9. Why do you think that transformation begins first in the renewing of our mind? 10. What content fills my mind? What voices are the loudest in my mind? Does it move me toward Christ or away from Him? Explain… 11. What practices are helpful to you to renew your mind and have God's perspective over the perspective of this world? Where do you need to grow in renewing your mind? How will you do this? What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!
