It's easy to drift along, day after day – not ever realising that we're on a gentle, downward slope, until it's too late. But the beauty of God's grace is that it's never, ever too late to change things. It's never, ever too late to turn your life around. Same Old Same Old The thing about life is that it, well, it seems to just crank along, day after day – get up, have a shower, have breakfast, hit the commute, go to work, come home, do the TV, go to bed, get up ... isn't that the routine? Ninety nine point nine percent of life seems to be everyday, mundane realities – punctuated, granted, with the odd high and low. And the more we live that same old same old, the more we become accustomed to that reality; we get used to it. For many people there is a dull ache in their hearts; for others there is this sense that, there has to be something more. You know I work in God's service, in full time ministry and every Sunday evening I talk with my mother on the phone – it's our little routine – and she asks me "Berni, what's been going on in your life?" And I'm your typical male, I say "Well, Mum, you know it was kind of the same as last week; nothing particularly new – same old same old." And it's true! The problem is for so many, many people, this same old same old routine is about drifting away from God. It's about living out a busy life and just struggling to get by and consuming mountains of drivel from the TV that ... well, we forget what life is all about. And before we know it, God seems like ... well, it seems like He is just a million miles away. Have you ever felt that in your life? You know, you can even be on holidays, having a great vacation somewhere, with time on your hands and yet, it still feels like God is a million miles away. There's a reason for that – there is! And today on the programme we are going to discover the reason and the remedy. This is the last in a series of four messages that I have called "Defining Moments". We are going to have a look at a King in Israel's history; a man named Josiah – to discover what is the reason and the remedy. But before we look at Josiah, we need to have a look at his grandfather and his father because his grandfather and father, Manasseh and Amon, those two guys are the reason. And through Josiah's life; through a defining moment in his life we discover the remedy. See, Manasseh and Amon – we can see through them how we can drift away from God – just through little compromises, it seems at first, until life itself is at stake. And through Josiah what we are going to see how easy it is to turn that around. I just want to position where that story comes in Israel's history. God first engaged with His chosen people through Abraham and Abraham and his son called Isaac and Isaac had a son called Jacob and Jacob had twelve sons, one of who was Joseph of "Technicoloured Dream Coat" fame. And these were the twelve tribes of Israel and they grew and they grew into this massive nation and for four hundred years they were keep in Egypt as slaves. Then eventually God calls Moses to go to Pharaoh and say, "Let My people go" and that happens through a series of miracles. And then around about 1280BC, the exodus begins – you know, forty years in the desert, they end up in the Promised Land and then there is a period of Judges until Saul becomes King in around 1050BC, followed by King David and then King Solomon. But after Solomon's reign, Israel splits in two – the ten Northern tribes are called 'Israel' and the two Southern tribes, Judah and Benjamin are referred to as 'Judah' – and that happens around 930BC. All along Judah struggles with God and remember…..remember the first two commandments that God gives to His people. You can read them in Exodus chapter 20, beginning at verse 2: I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the Land of Egypt; out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or worship them for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the iniquity of their parents to the third and fourth generations of those who reject Me, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love Me and keep My commandments. See, God's pretty clear – God is saying "I'm your God. I'm the one who took you out of slavery – I must be first in your life!' And that's what God's people struggled with! They had some good Kings and they had some really bad Kings - they had their ups and had their downs. Fortunately, God is slow to anger but they were testing His patience. We pick up this roller coaster ride of Israel with these two Kings, Manasseh and his son Amon. The name 'Manasseh' means 'to cause forgetfulness' and that was so apt because under his rule God's people forgot to put God first. Pick it up – if you have got a Bible, open it at Second Chronicles chapter 33, beginning at verse 1: Manasseh was twelve years old when he became King. He reigned fifty five years in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord according to the abominable practices of the nations whom the Lord drove out before the people of Israel. For He rebuilt the high places that his father, Hezekiah had pulled down and erected alters to the Baals and made sacred poles and worshipped all the hosts of heaven and served them. He built alters in the House of the Lord of which the Lord had said, "In Jerusalem shall My name forever be." He built alters for all the hosts of heaven in the two courts of the House of the Lord. He made his son pass through fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom, practiced soothsaying and augury and sorcery and dealt with mediums and wizards. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking God to anger. The carved image of the idol that he had made he set up in the House of God, of which God had said to David and to his son Solomon: "In this house and in Jerusalem which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever. I will never again remove the feet of Israel from the land that I appointed to your ancestors, if only they will be careful to do all that I have commanded them, all the law, the statutes and the ordinances given through Moses. Manasseh misled Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed before the people of Israel. The Lord spoke to Manasseh and to His people, but they gave no heed. And it was exactly the same with his son, Amon – Second Chronicles chapter 33, beginning at verse 22: Amon too, did what was evil in the sight of the Lord as his father Manasseh had done. Amon sacrificed to all the images his father Manasseh had made, and served them. He did not humble himself before the Lord as his father Manasseh had humbled himself, by this Amon incurred more and more guilt. Can I tell you, this in not just Israel's problem, it's our problem? Things just creep in, don't they? We all! "Well dad did it that way. Everybody else is doing it that way. Let's just go with the flow." And so Manasseh was defeated by the Babylonians in battle and Amon was murdered by his servants. See, going with the flow; with popular public opinion seems really easy. It's so acceptable to everyone around us, isn't it? But going with the flow ... well, going with the flow has consequences. Through the Eyes of Babes As you and I can plainly see, Manasseh and Amon made a hash of things and they kindled God's wrath. You know, one of the things we see a bit of in the Old Testament is God's wrath but it always comes after He has tried talking sense into His people first and it always ... always involves redemption. God's wrath always involves bring His people back to Him. It's about bringing them to their senses and calling them back to Himself. So these two Kings of Judah, Manasseh and Amon, they blew it! Now what comes next? Well, what comes next is a young boy with a right heart. Join me as we take a look – if you have got your Bible, get it open at Second Chronicles, in the Old Testament, chapter 34, beginning at verse 1: Josiah, (Amon's son, Manasseh's grandson) Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign – he reigned for thirty one years in Jerusalem. He did what was right in the sight of the Lord and walked in the ways of his ancestor David; he didn't turn aside to the right or to the left. For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still a boy, he began to seek the God of his ancestor David and in the twelfth year, he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of all those high places and sacred poles and carved and cast images. In his presence they pulled down the altars of the Baals; he demolished the incense alters that stood above them. He broke down the sacred poles and the carved and the cast images; he made dust of them and scattered it over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them. He also burned the bones of the priests on their altars and purged Judah and Jerusalem. In the towns of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon and as far as Naphtali, in their ruins all around, he broke down the altars, beat the sacred poles and the images into powder and demolished all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem. Now get this ... Josiah is eight years old when he becomes King! Do you remember how mature you were when you were eight years old? Right! And in just another eight years, when he was sixteen years old, at a time when most of us were being precocious, painful, petulant teenagers, this child King decided that it was time to turn things around. Now it mustn't have been easy – sure he was a King, but look what happened to his old man – Amon was murdered by his own courtiers. Now, in this country everyone was worshipping idols – everybody – it was the culture; it was the way of life – powerful people, rich people, poor people - they were all worshipping idols and offering up to other gods. And this young sixteen year old, Josiah, didn't just say to his people, "No, no, it's wrong, don't do it" – he had his army destroy their places of worship. He travelled through the land; he executed the priests of these false gods and he made it clear that the King was not going to tolerate God's chosen people doing exactly the thing that God had told them not to do. And he even takes the sacred poles and the images and the idols and he reduces them; he pounds them into powder. See, Josiah is swimming against the tide – he is going against the flow and that always takes courage. Perhaps life has been drifting along for you and you have been going the easy road; just the way everyone else is going. Not in every area of your life 'I still go to church; I still believe in God. No, those things are still there' but in those hidden areas of life – how you spend your money or where you place your priorities – that's what this is about. Who or what comes first in our hearts and our lives – God or someone or something else? Listen to Jesus' own words in Matthew chapter 7, beginning at verse 12: In everything, do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets. Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take that. For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life and there are few who find it. It's so easy, isn't it, to just go with the flow, on that gentle downward slope? Doing what Josiah did takes a bundle of courage and resolve and I believe there are a few people today who need that courage and resolve and that's something we can't do for ourselves – that's something that comes by the power of God's Spirit, when we take in His Word. So Josiah prepared to go against the flow – it was risky; it was dangerous – he wouldn't have endeared himself to the people but he did it anyway. Now have a look at what happens next. This is the defining moment – it's a moment from God. Second Chronicles 34, verse 8: In the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shephan the son of Azaliah and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz, the recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God. They came to the high priest, Hilkiah and delivered the money that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had collected from Manasseh and Ephraim and from all the remnant of Israel and from all of Judah and Benjamin and from the inhabitants of Jerusalem. They delivered the money to the workers who had oversight of the house of the Lord and the workers who were working in the house of the Lord gave it for repairing and restoring the house." They gave it to carpenters and builders and quarriers and timber for binding and all sorts of stuff. "The people did the work faithfully." "Now while they were bringing the money out that had been brought into the house of the Lord, the priest Hilkiah found the Book of the Law of the Lord, given to Moses and Hilkiah said to the secretary Shaphan, "I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the Lord," and Hilkiah gave the Book to Shaphan and Shaphan brought the Book to the King and further reported to the King, "All that was committed to your servants they are doing. They have emptied out the money that was found in the house of the Lord and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and the workers. And the secretary Shaphan, informed the King, "The priest Hilkiah has given me this Book," and Shaphan then read it out aloud to the King. And when the King heard the words of the law, he tore his clothes. Then the King commanded Hilkiah and Ahikam son of Shaphan and Abdon the son of Micah, the secretary Shaphan and the King's servant Asaiah: "Go, inquire of the Lord for me and for those who are left in Israel and Judah, concerning the words of the Book that has been found; for the wrath of the Lord that is poured out on us is great, because our ancestors did not keep the Word of the Lord, to act in accordance with all that is written in that Book." Now, we are going to look at what all that means next. The Word that Saves Isn't that amazing – Josiah, while he is going about God's business, stumbles across the Word of God? It's hidden – God's people had even forgotten about God's Word. No wonder things were such a mighty mess. I liken this to the person today who has a Bible but it's kind of stuffed up somewhere in the top level of their wardrobe in the bedroom, gathering dust. The living Word of God – God's love letter to you and me – gathering dust; lost, forgotten and we wonder ... we wonder why our lives are in a mess! Can you believe this – the chief priest has lost God's Word? There are plenty of people who claim to be Christians – so many of them have lost God's Word. I mean, how do we expect to live in God's blessing and God's abundance of life if when He is trying to speak to us, we leave Him up on the shelf. Come on, wake up! Josiah defining moment is his reaction. When he discovers that God's Word has come out of the temple, he is distraught; he tears at his clothes, despite all the great things this young King has been doing, he is beside himself, that he has been missing out on God's Word. See, it's only now he is hearing from God when his secretary started reading out of God's Word. He is realising for the first twenty six years of his life he hasn't really known what God's will is. So he takes some action. He sends his people to one of God's prophets to enquire of God, "God, what does all this mean? What do we do now? Where do I go from here?" Let's take a look – Second Chronicles chapter 34, verse 20: Then the King commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan and Abdon son of Micah and the secretary Shaphan, and the King's servant Asaiah: "Go and inquire of the Lord for me and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the Book that has been found, for the wrath of the Lord that is poured out on us is great, because our ancestors did not keep the Word of the Lord, to act in accordance with all that is written in that Book." So Hilkiah and those whom the King had sent went to the prophet Huldah, the wife of Shallum son of Tokhath son of Hasrah, (boy, a mouthful, huh?) keeper of the wardrobe (who lived in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter) and spoke to her to that effect. She declared to them, she said, "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Tell the man who sent you to me: Thus says the Lord: I will indeed bring disaster upon this place and upon its inhabitants, all the curses that are written in the Book that was read before the King of Judah. Because they have forsaken Me and have made offerings to other gods, so that they have provoked Me to anger with all the works of their hands, My wrath will be poured out on this place and it will not be quenched. But as to the King of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, thus you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord your God, the God of Israel: Regarding the words that you have heard, because your heart was penitent and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His Words against this place and its inhabitants, and you have humbled yourself before Me and you have torn your clothes and you have wept before Me, I also have heard you, says the Lord. I will gather you to your ancestors and you will be gathered to your grave in peace; your eyes shall not see the disaster that I will bring on this place and its inhabitants." They took that message back to the King. And that disaster is exactly what happened – we haven't got time to go there now but that's what happened. You can read it for yourself, that Josiah caused God's people to celebrate the Passover and to honour their God and he was spared. He died and then a few generations on, the Babylonians came and overran Judah – they destroyed the temple, Jerusalem was raised to the ground and they took all the people; God's people, out of the Promised Land to Babylon, into seventy years of slavery and captivity. But Josiah ... Josiah didn't suffer those consequences because he heard the Word of God and what? – He repented! All those great things beforehand that he did; they were truly wonderful; they showed his heart. But when he heard the tough things in the Word of God, he sought out God and he set his nation on a different course – despite the mixed blessings that the prophet spoke of. God's Word is God speaking! God's Word speaks of life; abundant life into our hearts. God speaks the truth – He speaks love and grace and mercy through His Word and yet, sometimes ... sometimes God's Word is God speaking some tough things into our lives – calling us to completely turn around. God's Word completely turns our world upside down because God's Word is about putting God first in our lives, not ourselves. God is calling us to die in order that we might live. And none of us ... none of us wants to die. None of us want to give up this rubbish that we are clinging onto for dear life but God is calling us….calling us to open His Word the Bible and hear Him speak. And the defining moment in the life of Josiah was when he discovered the Word of God and he tore his clothes because he realised that he had lived the first twenty six years of his life not hearing from God and he turned back to God and he turned his whole nation back to God. And no matter how far you and I have drifted away, if you are hearing this message today and you feel God's Spirit putting His finger on a place in your heart and you sense His conviction – if you are reacting right now, the way Josiah was reacting – deep distress – listen again with me to God's Word about this place you are in right now: "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, regarding the words that you have heard because your heart was penitent and you humbled yourself before God as you hear My Words and you have humbled yourself before Me now and are tearing your clothes and weeping in your heart before Me – I also have heard you," says the Lord. This is a powerful thing because God is a God who restores. God is a God who calls us back and when we turn back to Him, having drifted away; having taken the easy road; having just doddled along with public opinion and done it easy. When we finally come to our senses; when we hear the Word of God as you and I have heard it today, and we turn our lives back to Him – that's the defining moment – that's when God changes everything.

The S&P 500 index made new highs last week, and results from the Q2 US earnings season have been amazing. With 90% of companies having reported, the blended earnings growth (actuals for reported and estimates for companies yet to report) is 11.8%, versus the consensus of 4.9% y/y earnings growth estimated in June. Yet strangely, the percentage of S&P 500 stocks trading above their 50-day averages has fallen from 80% in early July to 56%. That means a smaller number of stocks are taking the index up today than was the case then. We should never take averages as guaranteed outcomes for future performance. But for what it's worth, August has historically been a “neutral” month on average, with a return since 1950 of zero. And September is the only month since 1950 with a negative average return.

July 31, 2025 ~ Patrick Anderson, Founder and CEO of Anderson Economic Group discusses the fed holding interest rates steady, GDP report shows economy grew in 2nd quarter.
Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they applaud Environmental Protection Agency Administrator, Lee Zeldin for wanting to rein the power of his agency, They're also happy to see decent economic growth in the second quarter, and they berate Pete Buttigieg for his pathetic response about the future of the Democratic Party. First, they praise Zeldin for urging the courts to restrict the Environmental Protection Agency's powers to what Congress has explicitly authorized. Jim notes that if Democrats want the EPA to expand its reach, they need to pass legislation, not rely on regulatory overreach. Greg applauds Zeldin for respecting the limits of government power and willingly ceding authority not grounded in law.Next, Jim and Greg are thrilled to see the resilience of the economy as the second quarter GDP rose by three percent. Although not a fan of tariffs, Jim is pleasantly surprised to see the economy doing well. Meanwhile, the positive growth means we are nowhere near a recession, forcing Democrats to find different talking points. Last, they slam Buttigieg for his substance-free response to The Breakfast Club's Charlamagne tha God, who asked whether the future of the Democratic party is someone more like New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani or someone like Buttigieg. Buttigieg's response included such rhetorical gems as "we're each going to be putting forward the version of the message that's truest to who we are" and what young Democrat politicians have in common is that "they are who they are." Jim and Greg have fun with Buttigieg's meaningless answers and consider what answers would have actually been interesting.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

A strong second quarter rebound for the U.S. economy. AP correspondent Mike Hempen reports.
AP correspondent Damia Troise reports the U.S. second quarter GDP showed an unexpected economic rebound.
Transcript:Hello, this is Pastor Don Willeman of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome to The Kingdom Perspective. Times can get really bad. I mean really bad! Even in the company of God's people. During the 7th century B.C., a young king arose in Judah. This was the famous King Josiah, the 16th king of the southern kingdom. During his reign (c. 640-609) he oversaw a movement of reformation and revival centered in the Word of God. What prompted this—and what makes me look to this story to see how bad things can get—was the rediscovery of the Word of God. Things had dipped so low among God's people that they had forgotten that God had ever given them a book of law. When Josiah sends a messenger to the temple, he ran into Hilkiah the high priest who had just made a discovery: “I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the Lord.” And Hilkiah gave the book to the king's messenger, and he read it. Then, the messenger brought it back to Josiah and read it before him, as well. When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his clothes. And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the secretary, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying, “Go, inquire of the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book, to do according to all that is written concerning us.”~2 Kings 22:11-13 (ESV) Now, how bad can things get? By the time of Josiah, not only had God's people ceased to obey the Bible, they even forgot they had one! Sadly, by the look of many American churches you'd wonder whether God had ever given us His Word in Christ. Without God's Word, God's people lose their reason for being and subject themselves to His judgment. Something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective. “In the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, the secretary, to the house of the Lord, saying, “Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may count the money that has been brought into the house of the Lord, which the keepers of the threshold have collected from the people. And let it be given into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of the Lord, and let them give it to the workmen who are at the house of the Lord, repairing the house (that is, to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons), and let them use it for buying timber and quarried stone to repair the house. But no accounting shall be asked from them for the money that is delivered into their hand, for they deal honestly.” And Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, “I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the Lord.” And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it. And Shaphan the secretary came to the king, and reported to the king, “Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of the Lord.” Then Shaphan the secretary told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read it before the king. When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his clothes. And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the secretary, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying, “Go, inquire of the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book, to do according to all that is written concerning us.”So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter), and they talked with her. And she said to them, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Tell the man who sent you to me, Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will bring disaster upon this place and upon its inhabitants, all the words of the book that the king of Judah has read. Because they have forsaken me and have made offerings to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath will be kindled against this place, and it will not be quenched. But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, thus shall you say to him, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Regarding the words that you have heard, because your heart was penitent, and you humbled yourself before the Lord, when you heard how I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and you have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you, declares the Lord. Therefore, behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes shall not see all the disaster that I will bring upon this place.'” And they brought back word to the king.”~2 Kings 22:3-20 (ESV)
What quarter of life are you in—and are you making it count? In this powerful message, Pastor Mike at Gratis Church challenges us to examine how we're investing our time through the lens of Scripture. Using Psalm 90:10,12, Psalm 139:16, and Ephesians 5:15-17, he walks us through a sobering yet hope-filled perspective: our days are numbered, but they can also be deeply meaningful. You'll explore: The “Life Clock” perspective: First Quarter (Birth–19) Second Quarter (20–39) Third Quarter (40–59) Fourth Quarter (60–79) Overtime (80+) Five key areas where we invest our time: Financial – What are you building through your work? Educational – Are you still growing and learning? Physical – How are you caring for your body? Relational – Are you nurturing family and friendships? Spiritual – Are you prioritizing your walk with God? This message invites reflection and action: Which bucket gets most of your time? What needs to change—and how will you make that change? If you've ever felt the tension of time slipping by or the urgency to live on purpose, this sermon will inspire you to number your days and live them with wisdom, grace, and godly vision.

From Brian Ginsler, Ginsler Wealth CEO: "In mid-2018, while I was at a previous investment firm, I met with a prospective client. For context, the markets (S&P 500) had staged a dramatic recovery since the Global Financial Crisis. From its folkloric low of 666 in March 2009, the index had climbed to around 2,700 by mid-2018—an increase of more than 300%.After I explained why it was a good time to invest with us, I will never forget his response: “I'm waiting until there is blood in the streets.” I think about him often and wonder if he is...still waiting..."For the original transcript of this letter and to view weblinks and other media, please visit https://ginslerwealth.com/ginsler-wealth-second-quarter-2025-client-letter-the-waiting-edition/

As it is the last Friday of the second quarter of the year, it’s time to once again take a look back at the highlights of the last three months. Like usual, there’s a wonderful mix of all kinds of great music, from veteran bands (The Minus 5, The Waterboys, Swans) to brand new bands (Psychic Pigs, The Burgers). There’s free bandcamp faves (Friends of Cesar Romero, Vista Blue), our usual mix of Rum Bar Records bands, and multi-disc concept albums (David Lowery, The Waterboys). There’s some good old fashioned rock ‘n roll, garage rock, punk, and even some indescribible multi-genre bands that I like to call “garage-prog”. What new albums have you been jamming?
