Parliament Moves to Safeguard South African Pilgrims Amid Hajj Cost Concerns by Radio Islam

As we navigate today's complex world, God's wisdom should serve as a compass to guard against the foolishness prevalent in our culture. In the final episode of "Safeguards Against Deception," Duane Sheriff teaches us how to obtain wisdom through prayer and introduces the concept of the seven pillars of wisdom, which provide the foundation for our lives.God's wisdom is essential for discernment and protection. The book of James reminds us that if we lack wisdom, we should ask God for it. This simple act of asking in faith can transform our decision-making and discernment. Just as Solomon sought wisdom to lead God's people, we, too, can seek divine wisdom in our daily lives.https://pastorduane.com/safeguards-against-deception/

Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise,and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee;they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.That thy trust may be in the LORD,I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.Have not I written to thee excellent thingsin counsels and knowledge,

In episode nine of "Safeguards Against Deception," Duane Sheriff teaches the power and importance of prayer. In a world filled with deception and darkness, prayer is a vital tool for communion with God. It allows Jesus, the gardener of our hearts, to cultivate truth and uproot deceit. To enhance your prayer life, establish a consistent rhythm of prayer using scriptural passages from Ephesians and Colossians. These passages focus on seeking wisdom, knowledge, and spiritual understanding. These prayers empower believers to walk in truth, bear fruit, and remain steadfast in their faith. By focusing on God instead of the chaos of the world, prayer becomes a crucial defense against deception.https://pastorduane.com/safeguards-against-deception/

In today's world, many people reject and even despise the truth. In episode eight of "Safeguards Against Deception," Duane Sheriff teaches that we should be lovers of the truth, not just people who respect God's Word. Being a lover of truth means having a deep love for Jesus and His Word. A love for the truth will protect our hearts from being deceived. It keeps us close to Jesus and helps us stand strong against the darkness around us. When we love truth, we love Jesus because He is the truth. You cannot separate loving Jesus from loving His commandments and teachings. In a world full of lies and deception, people need to find the truth through us.https://pastorduane.com/safeguards-against-deception/

Hello to you listening in Hamburg, Germany!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.  We are living in a time of historic upheaval. But what if this currently confusing, chaotic, confounding, cultural churn is stumbling toward change that reveals the hidden roots of social injustice for what they are so that we can reconfigure for good?How easily the safeguards can be leaped. And they have been. We can clutch our pearls and bemoan the times we live in; or, we can invite our feelings of hopelessness to give way to action, to repair, restore, and renew out of the ashes of the old ways. We are responsible for making change because we're the only “sentient force” that can.Question: What one small grand gesture are you committed to take on behalf of what you love and care for?These words from the Irish poet Seamus Heaney may motivate and sustain you wherever your feet touch the ground, whatever progress you are intent on making today.    “History says, Don't hopeOn this side of the grave...But then, once in a lifetimeThe longed-for tidal waveOf justice can rise upAnd hope and history rhyme.” [“The Cure at Troy” Seamus Heaney]BONUS: Seamus Heaney reads his poem, The Cure at TroyThe Cure at Troy (full text)"Human beings sufferThey torture one another,They get hurt and get hard.No poem or play or songCan fully right a wrongInflicted and endured. The innocent in gaolsBeat on their bars together.A hunger-striker's fatherStands in the graveyard dumb.The police widow in veilsFaints at the funeral home. History says, Don't hopeOn this side of the grave…But then, once in a lifetimeThe longed-for tidal waveOf justice can rise up,And hope and history rhyme. So hope for a great sea-changeOn the far side of revenge.Believe that a further shoreIs reachable from here.Believe in miraclesAnd cures and healing wells. Call miracle self-healing:The utter, self-revealingDouble-take of feeling.If there's fire on the mountainOr lightning and stormAnd a god speaks from the sky That means someone is hearingThe outcry and the birth-cryOf new life at its term.It means once in a lifetimeThat justice can rise upAnd hope and history rhyme.

Our Spiritual Safeguard — Philippians 3:1; 4:4From a prison cell, Paul commands believers to rejoice in the Lord always. In this sermon, Pastor Monroe unpacks why joy is a safeguard (Phil. 3:1) and strength (Neh. 8:10), how it differs from happiness, and how the Holy Spirit grows joy as fruit in the Christian life (Gal. 5:22–23). We also anchor joy where Jesus did: “Rejoice that your names are written in heaven” (Luke 10:20).The Gospel: Jesus died for our sins and rose again. If you'll turn to Him in repentance and faith, He will save you, forgive you, and give you new life.Scriptures: Phil. 3:1; 4:4; Neh. 8:10; Prov. 22:24; 17:22; Luke 10:17–20; 1 Pet. 1:3–8; John 15:11; Ps. 30:5; Gal. 5:22–23.

Welcome to 'AI Lawyer Talking Tech,' where we explore the dynamic intersection of artificial intelligence and the legal world. Today, we delve into a landscape undergoing significant transformation, as AI rapidly revolutionizes legal practice, from streamlining complex medical record reviews and automating case management tasks to enhancing access to justice. This powerful technology is democratizing expertise and offering unprecedented efficiencies, with agentic AI systems now able to interpret complex objectives and execute multistep workflows with industry-standard precision. However, alongside these advancements come substantial challenges. We'll examine the escalating legal battles over content ownership and intellectual property, with publishers confronting tech giants like Google and AI services such as Perplexity AI over unauthorized content use, copyright infringement, and revenue impact. We'll also discuss critical ethical and regulatory questions, including the debate around granting legal rights to AI systems and the emerging field of "model welfare". Furthermore, we will consider the FTC's inquiries into AI safeguards for children and the controversial use of AI in authorizing Medicare treatments, which has drawn bipartisan criticism. Finally, we'll touch on the imperative for human oversight, the risks of AI "hallucinations" in legal filings, how law firms can protect their AI innovations through patent eligibility, and the evolving demands of digital marketing in this technologically advanced era.Penske Media Challenges Google Over AI Content Practices2025-09-14 | InvestorsHangout.comBritannica, Merriam-Webster Sue Perplexity in Escalating AI Copyright Battle2025-09-13 | TekediaShould AI Get Legal Rights?2025-09-13 | Stephen's LighthouseFTC Inquires AI Companies on Safeguards for Children and Pilot Program Uses AI to Authorize Medicare Treatments — AI: The Washington Report2025-09-13 | Mintz LevinThe Balancing Act: Tracking Technology Trends and Risk Mitigation Techniques2025-09-12 | JD SupraPresident Trump Might Extend The TikTok Ban Again Next Week, But Should He?2025-09-12 | Forbes.comSuspended lawyer accused of citing hallucinated case in bid to reinstate law license2025-09-12 | ABA JournalHow Clients Find Lawyers in 2025 (And What It Means for Your Firm)2025-09-12 | Articles, Tips and Tech for Law Firms and LawyersFor Agentic AI, Intelligence Is Only Half The Battle2025-09-12 | Crunch BaseAI in Arbitration: A Perspective from Chile2025-09-12 | Clyde & CoEmpowering Law Firm Leaders Podcast: How to plan for your firm's success2025-09-12 | Legal FuturesLawfront selects GenAI marketplace Jylo: “This is about democratising expertise”2025-09-12 | Legal Technology InsiderScotland's lawtech boom can take our legal firms to a new level2025-09-12 | Insider.co.ukLovable, Harvey Does A2J, Legora, LegalOn, LexisNexis2025-09-12 | Artificial LawyerLawfront chooses Jylo as key AI platform for its regional leader law firms2025-09-12 | Legal Technology News - Legal IT Professionals | Everything legal technologyGoodwin Announces Successful Roll Out of AI Legal Platform Legora Firmwide2025-09-12 | Legal Technology News - Legal IT Professionals | Everything legal technologyHow Agentic AI enables Legal Case Management Automation2025-09-12 | Legaltech on MediumFTC Announces Children's Privacy Enforcements and Launches AI Chatbot Inquiry2025-09-12 | Nelson MullinsHelpful Reminders for Patent Eligibility of AI, Machine Learning, and Other Software-Related Inventions2025-09-12 | McCarter & EnglishDOE Opportunity to Lease INL Land for AI Data Centers and Integrated Energy Infrastructure2025-09-12 | Holland & KnightFrom Algorithm to Asset – Protecting AI Innovations2025-09-12 | CooleyHow AI Is Revolutionizing Medical Record Review for Legal Teams2025-09-11 | BusinessABCHigh Point University Celebrates Grand Opening of Law School2025-09-11 | InvestorsHangout.com

In episode seven of "Safeguards Against Deception," Duane Sheriff teaches how the fear of the Lord protects believers against the deceptions and false teachings in our culture today. Fearing God is not about being afraid but about worshiping, serving, and putting God first. This Godly fear brings our hearts into alignment with God's values, cultivating a love for what He loves and a hatred for what He hates. By placing God first, we enhance our ability to discern truth from deception.https://pastorduane.com/safeguards-against-deception/

Dr. Jack Hyles preached a message entitled, "A Safeguard from Backsliding." We hope you enjoy this classic sermon from a great preacher of the past. Visit classics.preachthebible.org for more gospel messages.

One of the most crucial skills we can develop as "Safeguards Against Deception" is learning to discern God's voice. Yet, many struggle to hear God's voice because they believe His voice should be loud and clear. John 10 says that His sheep have the innate ability to hear and recognize the Shepherd's voice.In episode six, Duane Sheriff teaches that understanding the language of the Holy Spirit is essential for recognizing God's voice and distinguishing it from deceptive influences. God speaks in various ways, including a still, small voice, as well as through dreams, visions, and prophecy.https://pastorduane.com/safeguards-against-deception/

Satan has an M.O., a distinct modus operandi. His typical methods often question God's Word, promote disbelief, and offer deceptive wisdom. In "Safeguards Against Deception," Duane Sheriff states that all deception starts with "Has God said...?"In episode five, we gain insight into Satan's tactics through the story of Eve's deception in Genesis 3. This timeless pattern conveys the critical importance of standing firm in God's Word as our ultimate authority above our opinions, emotions, or societal pressures. By understanding Satan's tactics, we can better recognize and resist deception in our own lives.https://pastorduane.com/safeguards-against-deception/

God's Word is your first and most critical "Safeguard Against Deception." In episode four, Duane Sheriff warns about the dangers of departing from clear biblical teachings and the simplicity found in Christ, highlighting how cultural deceptions can infiltrate the church when believers prioritize worldly wisdom over God's truth.John 8 and 2 Corinthians 11 emphasize the power of abiding in God's Word. Duane draws interesting parallels between our relationship with Christ and marriage, urging us to stay loyal to Jesus. This loyalty, combined with evaluating everything through the lens of God's Word, creates a strong defense that helps us distinguish truth from lies.https://pastorduane.com/safeguards-against-deception/

God has provided His Word as a "Safeguard Against Deception." The Scripture warns us that in the latter times, some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of devils. In episode three, Duane Sheriff shares the necessity of prioritizing God's Word above all else, including personal relationships, to maintain spiritual integrity and discernment. He addresses the challenges parents face in loving their children while remaining faithful to biblical truth, especially in the face of cultural pressures. The story of the Prodigal Son shows the importance of holding onto God's truth, even when loved one's stray.https://pastorduane.com/safeguards-against-deception/

In "Safeguards Against Deception," Duane Sheriff warns against the increasing prevalence of deception and how easily people can be deceived, even within the church, as predicted in 2 Timothy 3:13. He refers to COVID-19 as a "dress rehearsal" for future deceptions, such as those that could involve AI technology. In episode two, we examine three biblical warnings often overlooked: God's law of sowing and reaping (Galatians 6:7), the dangers of sexual immorality and idolatry (Ephesians 5:5-6), and sinful behaviors such as fornication, homosexuality, and theft (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). While Christians are forgiven, God saved us from sin, not to continue in it. It is essential to stay true to God's word by rejecting deception, embracing repentance, and adhering to biblical truth.https://pastorduane.com/safeguards-against-deception/

Axon, a company that makes policing equipment, developed new software called Draft One that takes recordings from police cameras and uses artificial intelligence to summarize them into incident reports. Many police departments trying out the tool are not disclosing that they're using AI to write reports, according to a Mother Jones investigation. That potentially leaves both prosecutors and defense attorneys in the blind — despite safeguards Axon built into its software to prevent this very scenario, and to remove errors or AI hallucinations. Marketplace's Nova Safo spoke with investigative journalist Tekendra Parmar who reported the story for Mother Jones.

Our culture has become permeated with lies and deception. The Bible contains over 50 warnings about deception in the last days. Jesus cautions us, "Take heed that no one deceives you" (Matthew 24:4). In the new series "Safeguards Against Deception," Duane Sheriff explores how vulnerable we are to deception and how the church is not exempt, citing the COVID-19 pandemic as a wake-up call to prepare for future deceptions.In the first episode, titled "Guard Our Hearts," Duane emphasizes the importance of partnering with Jesus, who acts as the gardener that nurtures, protects, and teaches how to guard our hearts and remain steadfast against deception.https://pastorduane.com/safeguards-against-deception/

Oceana, working to protect endangered species, is at the heart of this powerful episode featuring Tara Brock, an environmental lawyer advocating for ocean life. Tara unpacks how the Endangered Species Act is used to protect humpback whales and sea turtles, and how legal tools like this remain essential to ocean conservation. As threats like ship strikes, climate change, and bycatch continue to rise, Tara explains why this legislation is still one of the strongest protections we have—and how it's enforced. Throughout the episode, we explore Oceana's litigation strategies, real-world wins in protecting marine life, and the ways the law intersects with fisheries, policy, and public engagement. Tara's stories and insights offer a clear call to action: the ocean needs legal defenders, and everyone has a role to play in protecting it.

Send us a text by clicking this link!The intersection of faith and self-protection creates complex questions for many Catholics, especially in light of recent church shootings like the one at Annunciation Parish. Drawing from Church history, papal teachings, and the Catechism, we unpack the surprising truth: the Catholic Church has consistently upheld not just the right but often the duty of self-defense.Contrary to modern assumptions, Catholics throughout history routinely carried weapons at Mass—from swords in medieval times to firearms in frontier churches. Pope Saint John Paul II's powerful words in Evangelium Vitae affirm that "legitimate defense can be not only a right but a grave duty for someone responsible for another's life." We explore how this teaching aligns with Scripture, particularly 1 Timothy 5:8, which places responsibility on men to protect their families as a fundamental expression of faith.Beyond theology, we discuss practical considerations for parish security teams: controlling access points, training in de-escalation techniques, emergency medical preparedness, and the careful selection of appropriate equipment. For individuals, we address choosing reliable firearms, proper training, and navigating parish politics when establishing security measures.The Church's wisdom offers a balanced approach that respects both the sacredness of life and the obligation to defend it. As Catholics navigate these waters, we're called to thoughtful preparation rather than fearful reaction—recognizing that protecting those in our care is a profound expression of love in an increasingly unpredictable world.What responsibility do you bear for those in your care, and how might you fulfill this duty with both prudence and courage?Support the show"Protect Catholic Kids" Shirt Fundraiser for Victims of Annunciation Shooting: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.com/collections/protect-catholic-kids ********************************************************Please subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKsxnv80ByFV4OGvt_kImjQ?sub_confirmation=1https://www.avoidingbabylon.comMerchandise: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comFull Premium/Locals Shows on Audio Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1987412/subscribeRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssRumble: https://rumble.com/c/AvoidingBabylon

"Insurance companies are the wealthiest businesses, wealthier than banks and even countries. It seems very scammy." This listener question captures what most people think about insurance - and why they're wrong about life insurance.Hans and Brian examine contract law to explain why life insurance operates under completely different legal protections than the car and home insurance that's given the industry its bad reputation. From centuries of case law to the incontestability clause, this episode reveals the legal guidelines protecting policyholders.When courts consistently rule against insurance companies and companies are required to maintain 100% reserves plus reinsurance, it's not a coincidence that no whole life insurance beneficiary has ever gone unpaid. The math, the law, and the business model all align to protect you in ways most people never understand.The Contract That Can't Be Negotiated (And Why That's Good for You)Life insurance contracts are "contracts of adhesion" - you can't negotiate terms, it's take it or leave it. Since the insurance company writes the entire contract and you have no bargaining power, courts heavily favor policyholders in every dispute. Centuries of case law have built an almost impenetrable wall of consumer protection.Warranties vs. Representations: The Historical Shift in Your FavorIn the 1700s, maritime insurance contracts used "warranties" - black and white statements that could void your policy for any breach. If you warranted your ship would sail with convoy protection and it sailed alone, coverage was nullified regardless of circumstances. Modern life insurance has evolved to use "representations" instead, requiring proof of intentional misrepresentation, materiality to the contract, and knowledge of falsity. The burden of proof is entirely on the insurance company.The Two-Year Window: Your Contestability ProtectionInsurance companies have exactly two years to challenge a policy for misrepresentation. After that window closes, even suicide is covered. This isn't arbitrary - it reflects the legal reality that life changes too much after two years to fairly challenge original statements. The contestability clause protects both parties: it gives companies time for due diligence while preventing indefinite claim challenges.Why "100% Reserves" Isn't Like BankingUnlike fractional reserve banking where your deposits aren't fully backed, life insurance operates on full reserves for current liabilities. Your policy's cash value must be available immediately - no exceptions. Future death benefits are covered through reinsurance and state guarantee funds, creating multiple layers of protection that banking simply doesn't have.➡️ Chapters: 00:00 - Military waste and efficiency (the stark contrast to insurance) 07:00 - Listener question: Why trust insurance companies? 13:00 - Property insurance vs. life insurance: Different games entirely 17:00 - Contract law foundations: Why courts favor policyholders19:00 - Warranties vs. representations: The historical evolution 26:00 - The incontestability clause: Your two-year protection window 35:00 - Unilateral contracts: Only one party has obligations 38:00 - Contract of adhesion: Why you can't negotiate (and don't want to)46:00 - Reserve requirements: 100% backing vs. fractional banking 52:00 - Reinsurance and state guarantee funds: Multiple safety nets 55:00 - Actuarial math: Why conservative assumptions create dividends 58:00 - Points of failure: Safety assets vs. speculationGot Questions?

In his underappreciated work The Mystery of Banking, Murray Rothbard first explained how a regime of "free banking" would put strict limits on the ability of the private commercial banks to reduce their reserve ratios and inflate the money supply. Then Rothbard showed that the textbook operation of a central bank systematically neutralized the market's safeguards, and paved the way for credit expansion by a cartel of privileged private banks.The Mystery of Banking by Murray N.
