Read OnlineHerod was the one who had John the Baptist arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, whom he had married. John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.” Herodias harbored a grudge against him and wanted to kill him but was unable to do so. Mark 6:17–19The suffering and death of Saint John the Baptist greatly parallels the suffering and death of Jesus. They were cousins. John was one of the first to acknowledge the divine presence of our Lord when he leaped for joy in the womb of his mother during the Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth. John lived a holy and simple life, embracing His mission to prepare the way for the Lord. He was the last and greatest of the Old Testament prophets. Of him, Jesus said that there was no one born of woman who was greater than John. For these reasons, we should not be the least bit surprised that John's suffering and death parallelled and prefigured the death of the Savior of the World.Herod was fearful of John, believing him to be a holy man of God. He imprisoned him with a certain regret, knowing that he was innocent. Similarly, before Pilate condemned Jesus to death, he found Him not guilty of any crime. Pilate knew Jesus was innocent but allowed fear to direct his choice to condemn our Lord.John was ultimately killed because of the hatred and plotting of Herodias, the unlawful wife of Herod. It was Herodias' anger that became a weapon, forcing Herod to put John to death. Similarly, it was the jealousy and anger of the religious leaders at that time that instigated and drove the death of Jesus. Pilate, like Herod, was at first unwilling to condemn our Lord. But the relentless hatred of the scribes and Pharisees compelled Pilate to condemn Jesus, just as it was Herodias' hatred that compelled Herod to kill John.After John's death, some of his disciples came to carry his body away for burial. This was permitted by Herod, perhaps because of his feelings of guilt. So also with our Lord, Pilate permitted some disciples and the holy women to carry Jesus' dead body to the tomb for burial.In the end, the good fruit of Jesus' death infinitely overshadowed the crime that was committed against Him. So also with John. We can be certain that, as a martyr, the blood he shed as a witness to Christ bore spiritual fruit that surpassed all he had done in his public ministry. Each of us is called to imitate our Lord and, therefore, should also take inspiration from Saint John the Baptist. They both were innocent but suffered greatly. They both spoke the truth, despite the hatred of some. They both gave their lives, in accord with the Father's plan. Jesus was John's Savior; John was but a precursor and servant of our Lord. Reflect, today, upon the invitation God has given to you to imitate the life of John the Baptist by uniting yourself to his Lord. The first form of imitation will take place when you commit yourself to the proclamation of the truth in accord with your mission. What mission has God given to you? How is He calling you to proclaim the Gospel with courage, strength, determination and fidelity to the end? Reflect, also, upon the injustice inflicted first upon John and then upon our Lord. As you do, try to look at any injustice you have received in life in the light of John's and Jesus' lives. They did not run away from injustice. They embraced it as a sacrifice and offered it to the Father in Heaven. Jesus' Sacrifice brought forth the Salvation of the World; John's was but a sharing in that glorious offering. Make your offering with them, and do not hesitate to do so with deep love and trust in the Father's plan. Most glorious Lord, You invited Saint John the Baptist to prepare the way for Your coming and Your death. He gave his life as a martyr, and this sacrifice bore an abundance of good fruit. Please give me the grace to walk in his footsteps by faithfully fulfilling my mission in life with courage and strength. May I never waver in the face of injustice so that I can embrace it and make it my spiritual offering to You. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image via Adobe StockSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Midweek Service: Salvation begins with believing in who Jesus is and what He has done, accepting Him as Lord in the heart, and confessing Him as Lord with the mouth. It is not about fixing one's life first, but about transformation that flows from being saved. Baptism does not save but symbolizes being united with Christ in His death and resurrection. People come to faith as they hear the gospel, often through a process requiring patience and repeated teaching from Scripture. Our role is to teach and share the message of Jesus' death, resurrection, and appearance as proof of His victory, while God alone brings the revelation of salvation.

Hannah Stoddard joins Greg to talk about the Family Proclamation and the Order of the Family. We discuss what the Family Proclamation says about gender roles in our modern world, the Patriarchal Order, the disintegration of the family and civilization, and the path to follow Christ and the Plan of Salvation. Interestingly, this was recorded just an hour after Greg posted the first FAIR Q&A video. Website- www.cwicmedia.com

Through the Narrow Gate: Salvation as a Lifelong Journey Today's homily emphasizes that the Christian journey is not just about following Christ, . . . . . . but about becoming like Him. Salvation, according to Catholic teaching, is not a one-time event but an ongoing process requiring cooperation with God's grace. Jesus' call from today's Gospel to “strive to enter through the narrow gate” reminds us that salvation demands effort, conversion, and perseverance. Merely hearing His words or receiving the sacraments without allowing them to transform our lives is insufficient . . . Christ must shape our thoughts, actions, and decisions. The Sacrament of Confession, trust in God amid trials, and living a life of continual conversion are presented as concrete ways of walking the narrow path. Ultimately, we are invited to give Christ our sins and let His grace transform us, so that our relationship with Him is real and life changing. Listen to this Meditation Media. Listen to: Through the Narrow Gate: Salvation as a Lifelong Journey ------------------------------------------------------------------ Gospel Reading: Luke 13: 22-30 First Reading: Isaiah 66: 18-21 Second Reading: Hebrews 12: 5-7, 11-13 ------------------------------------------------------------------ The Wide Road and the Narrow Road: Dutch Artist: Jan Luyken: 1712 Today's engraving by Dutch artist Jan Luyken, printed in 1712, serves as an excellent visual companion to our Gospel reading. On the left side of the engraving, we see the wide gate, where people are joyfully dancing and celebrating as they pass through the broad arch. Atop this gate, a carved relief of the earthly globe is displayed, symbolizing the world's temptations. This path represents the road the world urges us to follow. On the right side of the engraving lies the narrow path mentioned by Jesus in our reading. A man, having taken up his cross, is depicted walking through the narrow gate, joined by others who are also carrying their crosses further along the path. They journey toward a radiant light atop the hill, symbolizing Heaven. In contrast, those on the left are headed toward a storm.

Today, Many in America Live and Act as “enemies of the Cross of Christ” Thereby, Traveling the Road to Eternal Death MESSAGE SUMMARY: God has told us that we are His children and citizens of Heaven. To this end, God has given us the Holy Spirit as a pledge of our inheritance as His child. Also, God gave you the Holy Spirit to provide you with the power to live a Spiritual life. However, far too many continue to live and to act as “enemies of the Cross of Christ” by having their minds focused on earthly things as the lords of life. If this picture of your life-actions and life-focus describes you, then you very well may be on the road to eternal death and destruction. Therefore, you must return to Jesus and His way of doing things – Jesus' pattern of discipleship, servanthood, and submission is a path to your Salvation. Paul, in Philippians 3:18-20, defines an “enemy of the Cross of Christ: “For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.". Jesus Followers have their life-focus driven by the realization that they are His child and a citizen of Heaven; therefore, you and your life-focus, as a Jesus Follower, are all precious to God since He sacrificed so much to adopt you as His child.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I praise you because your love seeks my good in any and every situation. Forgive me for the seeds that I have squandered. Soften my heart to surrender to your will in and through me. In Jesus' name, amen.        Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 120). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Past Failures. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Grace. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

Pastor Alan R. Knapp discusses the topic of "Salvation in Three Tenses" in his series entitled "SHORT SERMONS" This is Short Sermon 10 and it focuses on the following verses: John 5:39; Hebrews 13:8; (2 Corinthians 6:2 cf. Isaiah 49:8)

The Queenship of Mary: Mary's Role in Our Salvation and Peace Today's Homily celebrates the octave of the Feast of the Assumption and . . . . . . the 50th anniversary of the Shrine, reflecting on Mary as Queen of Heaven, Earth, Peace, and All Hearts. Her queenship is not merely an honorific but a real authority rooted in her “yes” to God at the Annunciation, when she freely accepted to bear Christ, changing the universe forever. Her dignity, beauty, and authority exist not for herself but for our salvation, showing her humility as the “handmaid of the Lord.” Mary's queenship continues in her intercession, especially as Queen of Peace, and Queen of All Hearts, bringing grace to human hearts scarred by violence. The faithful are encouraged to entrust themselves to her through acts of consecration, imitating her faith and service so that Christ may be more fully received in their lives and in the world. At the end of the Homily members who have been preparing for the Act of Total Consecration were invited to the altar for a special prayer. Hear more within this Meditation Media.

Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox apologists argue, and train others to argue, that their churches are the true church because they've kept an unbroken line of truth through their traditions. But is this true? History and scripture reveal a very different story - that these two major religions have very little to do with the Early Church. * 00:00 - Introduction * 07:43 - Church Leadership* 40:51 - Priesthood* 49:03 - Prayer* 54:55 - Subordinationism* 1:13:44 - Eschatology* 1:47:09 - Praying to the Dead/Praying for the Dead* 2:06:55 - Iconoclasm* 2:20:00 - Purgatory* 2:25:50 - Cosmology* 2:29:18 - Baptism* 2:36:06 - The Eucharist* 2:50:02 - Salvation * 3:08:51 - Scripture* 3:19:29 - The Sabbath* 3:36:16 - Final Thoughts This is a public episode.

God's way of salvation

The Book of Romans in your King James Bible is one of the most-powerful pieces of scripture in the New Testament, a book that is heavily built on the writings of the prophet Isaiah and applied to Christians in the Church Age. Reading Romans can be like a really good Fourth of July fireworks display, it can also hit you like an IED and run you right off the road. Where you wind up depends on how you start, and we highly recommend a rightly divided and dispensational approach to navigating it.“To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 1:7 (KJB)On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we begin our look at the epistle of the apostle Paul to the Romans, and settle in to learn some hardcore, strong meat Bible doctrine. A study in Romans will show us the New Testament doctrines of salvation, redemption, sanctification, justification, predestination, adoption, regeneration, and glorification. Remember the Ethiopian eunuch from our study in the Book of Acts? He got saved with salvation by grace through faith by reading in the book of Isaiah. Another salient point to keep in mind that Paul is the apostle to the Romans, and not Peter as the Roman Catholic church falsely claims he is. There is no biblical record that Peter was ever in Rome.TONIGHT'S STUDY: Tonight we find ourselves in chapter 5 of the book of Romans, and Paul continues his masterclass on biblical justification. Justification means that the believers has the imparted righteousness of Jesus Christ, and therefore is justified in the sight of God. Paul pointes out repeatedly that the only thing we add to our salvation is the sin that made it necessary. This is Part #5 in a series.

What happens when God reshapes a life? Bishop Joel Holmes shares profound insights from nearly six decades of ministry on the spiritual transformation process that turns believers into vessels of divine purpose.Drawing from Psalm 51:5, Bishop Holmes illustrates how we're all "shapen in iniquity" at birth, requiring divine intervention to become who God intends. Using the metaphor of wood being bent to create a concert grand piano, he explains how our resistance to change must give way to God's transformative work.The heart of this message explores the critical connection between consecration and spiritual power. Against conventional wisdom suggesting that relaxing standards leads to church growth, Bishop Holmes reveals how his unwavering commitment to holiness—taught with love and brokenness—actually catalyzed extraordinary expansion in his ministry. "When you move off from consecration," he warns, "you lose the cutting anointing that breaks the yoke of sin."Bishop Holmes shares four essential pillars for building God's kingdom: prioritizing prayer (including regular fasting), cultivating genuine love for people, engaging in consistent outreach, and developing Spirit-filled teaching. He culminates with a powerful insight from Numbers 12 about God speaking "mouth to mouth"—describing those transcendent moments when divine truth flows directly through us, bypassing our intellectual filters.Whether you're facing resistance to change, struggling with worldly influences, or seeking greater spiritual power, this episode provides transformative truths that will reshape your understanding of holiness, consecration, and divine purpose. Listen now and discover how embracing the "foolishness" of the gospel unlocks its supernatural power.We love to hear from our listeners!

In this episode of Ryan & Brian's Bible Bistro, Brian flies solo (no co-host required!) and sits down with Dr. Matthew Bates, Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary and award-winning author of Why the Gospel?, Gospel Allegiance, and Beyond the Salvation Wars.Together, they explore:What it really means to say “Jesus is the Christ” — and why it's a royal proclamation, not just a religious label.How the Greek word pistis reshapes our understanding of “faith” as allegiance, loyalty, and faithfulness to King Jesus.Why salvation and discipleship can't be separated — and how this changes the way we practice our faith.The difference between the gospel itself and the benefits of the gospel.How the incarnation, resurrection, ascension, and enthronement of Jesus each form essential parts of the good news.Insights from Bates's latest work, Beyond the Salvation Wars, and the push for a unity-centered, truth-rooted vision of the church.You'll also hear stories of how Bates's academic journey (from Notre Dame to teaching at a Catholic university, and now Northern Seminary) shaped his theology, plus a look ahead at his upcoming book, Christ Formed.

Welcome Back! We know you missed us because we missed you. Don't worry about the past because the time is now and you are here. Here with us to jump down the rabbit holes. We jump in on the pole shifts, the kids betting it all, the kids raging it all, manifesto, weapons.. the movie, 3 days, getting hard, staying hard, cleaning up the rivers, A.I evils, Salvation army valor, vet beer, and much much more. Don't believe me then just listen and find out. We are glad you made it this far and we are even more glad that we will see you on the next one.. Enjoy it.

This Sunday's passage recounts the moment when Jesus foretells Peter's denial. It reminds us that on our own, we will never fully “have it together.” Instead, we must cling to the cross of Christ—the only hope that upholds us and truly sets us free. Jesus extends an open invitation: “Come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Surrender your life to Christ. In Christ you are completely known, yet completely loved.

Study on Prophecy: Daniel, Revelation, and Heavenly LivingEdward led a Bible study on prophecy, emphasizing the books of Daniel and Revelation and exploring God's plan for Israel and His heavenly people. He highlighted the need for submission to the Holy Spirit's guidance, understanding one's identity in Christ, and living under God's heavenly governance. The discussion covered anointing, divine love, spiritual warfare, faith, and the eternal rewards that await believers. Edward stressed that true experience of God's love requires a submitted will and reliance on Christ's completed work.Themes:Prophecy and God's plan for Israel and the ChurchSubmission to the Holy Spirit and divine guidanceUnderstanding prophecy through a submitted willLiving under God's heavenly governanceBiblical anointing and Christ as the unshakable foundation (Matt. 16:18)Faith and prayer in spiritual warfareDivine love and identity in Christ (Rom. 6)Redemption and God's eternal purpose (Adam and Eve, Psalm 147)Salvation through Christ's completed work and avoidance of legalismScripture References:Daniel; Revelation; Psalm 22; Psalm 23; Matthew 16:18; Romans 6; Psalm 147

LESSON 238On My Decision All Salvation Rests.Father, Your trust in me has been so great, I must be worthy. You created me, and know me as I am. And yet You placed Your Son's salvation in my hands, and let it rest on my decision. I must be beloved of You indeed. And I must be steadfast in holiness as well, that You would give Your Son to me in certainty that he is safe Who still is part of You, and yet is mine, because He is my Self.And so, again today, we pause to think how much our Father loves us. And how dear His Son, created by His Love, remains to Him Whose Love is made complete in him.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

The initial readers of Peter's first epistle were an eclectic group, comprised of both Jews and gentiles dispersed throughout a broad geographical region and facing various trials and persecutions. Even so, they were unified by the shared reality of having been “born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” Alistair Begg examines the opening verses of 1 Peter, which describe this great salvation and the hope it offers to all who are in Christ. Bible passages: 1 Peter 1:1-12
