Podcasts about scoffing

For our final day this week, we are going to read a tough passage, but we'll also turn it around and end on a bright spot. Paul shared these words with Timothy in his second letter, chapter 3, verses 1-5:You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!When you heard these words, did it sound like something from today's news feed? Love only themselves and their money? Boastful? Proud? Scoffing at God? Disobedient? Ungrateful? Nothing is sacred? This is exactly why God's Word is timeless and always current.Again we see how the love self, pride, pleasure and the pursuit of wealth is associated with a lack of godly character. The last verse even says the religious people will reject God's power.Now, let's take Paul's words, and as what would be in line with many of his other passages such as 1 Corinthians 13, for example, turn the phrases around to encourage ourselves to follow God and pursue Him, not the things of this world, to see our money merely as a means, not an end.For people must love God and not their money. They must not boast and be proud, or scoff at God, be disobedient to their parents, yet be grateful. Consider everything sacred. Be loving and forgiving; never slander others and always have self-control. Never be cruel. Love what is good. Never betray friends, be reckless, puffed up with pride, or love pleasure rather than God. Don't act religious, and reject the power that can make us godly. Hold strong to people like that!Pray with me: “Lord Jesus, thank You that You provide us with all that is good in this world and allow us the ability to stay away from what is harmful to us. There is always that choice. Thank You that You died to give us that choice. Help me to follow You and make my money a means, not an end. As above, so below.”

This sermon confronts the apparent harshness of Elisha's judgment on mocking children in Bethel by placing the event within its redemptive-historical context, revealing that the children's taunts were not mere childish jest but a profound rejection of God's prophetic authority in a city long corrupted by idolatry and rebellion. The preacher emphasizes that mocking Elisha was tantamount to mocking God Himself, as the prophet served as the divine voice calling the people to repentance, and the severity of the judgment reflects God's holy intolerance for willful, systemic contempt toward His revealed truth. Far from being a personal vendetta, Elisha's curse was an act of divine justice, underscoring that God does not tolerate the deliberate scorn of His messengers, especially when such scorn is rooted in a hardened heart rejecting salvation. The application calls the congregation to recognize that all people, including children, are accountable before a holy God and that mocking God's servants or His Word—whether in the pulpit, in fellowship, or in daily life—is a serious offense that reveals deeper spiritual rebellion. Ultimately, the passage serves as a sobering reminder of the eternal weight of rejecting God's voice, urging believers to receive divine truth with reverence, repentance, and faith, knowing that Christ alone is the final judge and the only hope for redemption.

We all scoff. We all slip into sarcasm. But what if those “little” habits aren't as harmless as they seem? Research from the Gottman Institute shows that contempt — often disguised as casual teasing — is the single strongest predictor of death to connection (aka: divorce)Scoffing, sarcasm, and eye-rolling may feel small in the moment, but they send powerful messages of superiority, dismissal, and disrespect.In this episode, we unpack how these micro-habits of contempt impact the brain, erode safety, and poison connection in marriage. You'll hear real-life examples of how scoffing and sarcasm sneak into everyday conversations, what's really hiding underneath those jabs (hint: it's often unspoken pain), and practical ways to replace contempt with curiosity and vulnerability.If you've ever said, “Oh, we're just teasing,” this episode will help you see why even a few “drops of poison” can contaminate the well of your relationship — and how to choose a healthier, more life-giving way forward.We are giving you a 30 day Challenge: Weed out scoffing & sarcasm from your dialogue. See what a difference it makes.

In the 1980s, many Texans were alarmed that hordes of immigrants were fleeing Rust Belt states and pouring across the Red River to take our jobs. So, my friend Steve Fromholz recommended a big beautiful wall across our northern border to keep them out.But Fromholz – a popular singer-songwriter and renown political sprite – was ahead of his time in the political sport of wallbuilding. Instead of steel barriers and miles of nasty of razor wire, Steve proposed preventing Yankee refugees from entering the Lone Star State by planting a 10-foot high, 10-foot thick wall of jalapeño peppers along the length of the Red River. Eat your way through… and you'd be accepted as a naturalized Texan.I thought of Steve's impishness when I read that Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, and other Republicans were concocting a whole new xenophobic bugaboo to goose up their anti-immigrant demagoguery. We can't just fear the “invasion” coming across our Southern border, they cry! Indeed, Haley wailed: “It's the northern border, too” – adding ominously that we must “do whatever it takes to keep people out.” And then DeSantis piled on, saying we should wall off America's Canadian border.Meanwhile, nearly all residents living along that 5,500-mile boundary fear the political wall-mongers more than the imaginary threat of foreigners surging across illegally. “People have always been coming through Canada,” says a clerk at a general store in far-north New Hampshire. Scoffing at the silly political hype, she says: “I don't think the residents are really worried.”But Chicken-Little politicos won't be shooed off by reality. After all, they still have the east, west, and gulf coasts to shut off – so expect them to propose razor wire for the entire US shoreline. Their ridiculousness makes Fromholz's satire seem rational!Enjoyed this post? Please consider sharing with friends and on social media!Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We are joined by Jeffrey Mishlove at his home in New Mexico. Jeffrey was the first and still only Parapsychologist who was conferred a PhD (in 1980) in that field of study. He grew up in a religious family – and a family unbeknownst to young Jeffrey at the time – that was also steeped in mystical tradition. We discuss his path to his calling that was kickstarted by a couple of transcendental dreams. He was a man whose interests were transformed from studying the negative forms of human deviance (criminality) to the positive forms of human deviance. We learn about the story of his mentor Arthur M. Young, the inventor of the helicopter and cosmologist and astrologer. We discuss skeptics vs scoffers, ESP, the perpetual game of hide and seek, cosmic choices after death, the artistic endeavour and the importance of investigating areas of high strangeness. The universe reaches out when you are striving to be the best person you can be.

"Now remember, we're defining joy in this series as 'a pervasive and constant sense of well-being.' So in the language of this series, we're talking about choosing the path that leads to a pervasive and constant sense of well-being, no matter our circumstances. And grieving, lamenting is the path to choose in response to the pain and brokenness of this world. "Over the past seven years or so, at least from my perspective, an alarming number of Christ followers have opted to deal with the pain and brokenness of life and this world by sitting in the seat of a scoffer (Psalm 1:1)...The scoffer is the one who stands away, stands apart, strokes their chin—skeptically, cynically, bitterly, and arrogantly—while critiquing and criticizing and shaking their head. So instead of a healthy grieving over the sufferings and failings and disappointments of their own soul, the scoffer focuses on the failings and disappointments of others."

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveThis week, Damir stages an intervention for Shadi.Lately, Shadi's become gradually detached from the world of current events and political media. Damir probes to understand why, therein unraveling an episode that goes off the beaten path to discuss progress, happiness and meaning at a time when everything feels existential.Shadi maintains that while he isn't divorcing himself from the commentariat, he's recognizing the limited fulfillment political awareness can deliver — particularly when progress can never seem to be satiated. Scoffing at Damir's notion he's become a conservative, Shadi laments what he sees as more pressing matters, including crime and the unintended impacts of legal marijuana dispensaries in D.C. All of this prompts Damir to press Shadi on how he reconciles this detachment with participation in democracy.In the full episode (for paying subscribers only), the guys pivot toward a critique of the mental health subculture. Damir believes the level of introspection offered by therapy may make us more miserable. Shadi agrees and questions how healthy it is that we seem to be seeking out more reasons to seek therapy. The pod ends on a higher note, however, with Damir and Shadi finding contentment in pursuing Wisdom of Crowds' mission.Paying subscribers will also be able to watch the whole conversation on video and take note of our facial expressions.

Scoffing is as scoffing does! What value do the scornful bring to the conversation? Those who ridicule righteousness because it might impede their rush to self-destruction - what insight do they bring? Our social media platforms seem to have greatly multiplied the number of mockers. How's that working out for us? God saw all this coming. And Peter, in his second letter, walks us through what's happening and why. Here's Jim with Part 1 of, Beware of the Scoffers.
