When Caravaggio arrived in Naples as a fugitive on the run from papal justice in 1606, he immediately began to receive commissions. One of his first was for a charitable organization called the “Pio Monte della Misericordia.” This organization had just built a church with seven altars upon which seven separate paintings illustrating the “Seven Acts of Mercy” were to be placed. In true impetuous Caravaggio fashion, he produced a single beautiful painting that represented all seven acts!
In which the Curmudgeons focus their gaze on music that exploded into our cultural consciousness 58 years ago--and is still exploding now. For the second consecutive year, The Beatles and Bob Dylan changed and everything and then some. The Rolling Stones started writing songs and kicking ass. James Brown, The Byrds, The Who and The Beach Boys also startled with innovation. Was 1965 rock's greatest year? Listen and decide for yourself.

If you are the one on the underside of power, speaking up on behalf of yourself or your group is not wrong. It's not complaining. It's the right thing to do. If you are the one holding the power, we get to imitate the way of Jesus by giving away power and privilege.

Evening - Sunday, October 6, 2019 - The Choosing of the Seven - Acts 6:1-15 by Broadway Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky - listen to our worship services here. Pastor Daniel Ausbun preaches from the Christian Standard Bible (CSB). A Southern Baptist congregation at 2500 Harrodsburg Road in Lexington, KY 40503.
As the early church grew in numbers, a problem arose which threatened church unity and future growth. The Hellenistic Jewish widows were not receiving assistance in the form of daily food distribution while the Hebraic Jewish widows were. This may have been caused by language and cultural differences or the distance that the Hellenistic widows lived from the rest of the congregation. Whatever the cause of the issue, and it was probably not deliberate, widows were extremely vulnerable because they could not, in most cases, support themselves and relied on external help to survive.The Twelve instructed the congregation to choose seven men to take over this responsibility, while the Twelve would concentrate on prayer and the ministry of the word. These seven needed to be full of the Spirit and wisdom (6:3). The decision-making process reflects important values for church order. The process was open and transparent as all the congregation were invited and attended the gathering. It was participatory, the congregation chose the seven while the Twelve would authorise them to minister, giving distinct roles for leaders and congregation. The proposed solution reveals the values that guided the decision: commitment to unity, to a holistic ministry and to growth by means of preaching and teaching. Unity is maintained by ensuring that all widows were treated equally. Luke stresses that this social ministry has equal validity with the apostles' ministry of prayer and teaching, for he uses diakonia to describe both. The church must exercise both, and neither to the exclusion of the other.We are reminded of the importance of pastoral care, prayer and the teaching of God’s word for the health, unity and growth of our congregation, and that these tasks may be shared amongst us so that no ministry is neglected. DRQuestionsHow does St Bart’s care for the vulnerable and empower its leaders?Why is prayer and the ministry of the Word so important for church growth?PrayerLord of all, as we seek to make disciples of Jesus Christ, make us mindful of the needs of the vulnerable in our midst. Help our leaders to ground the ministry of St Bart’s in prayer, and to be faithful in the teaching of your Word. Amen.
Seven Acts and an Epilogue. An introspective cast takes the Mind Moders down many paths, all careening towards the same destination. What do the works of the Coen brothers have in common with Mario Party? Well, maybe neither ever had the choice to be any different. "Why should I live in history? Fuck, I don’t want to know anything anymore. This is a world where nothing is solved. You know, someone once told me time is a flat circle. Everything we’ve ever done, or will do, we’re gonna do over and over and over again." - Rust Cohle 3, 2, 1...
Writing your book is only 10% of the effort. The other 90% comes from how you market it, package it, the platform you put it on, and the connectivity you have with your audience. This week Robert "Dusty" Staub founder and CEO of Staub Leadership and author of "The Heart of Leadership" and The Seven Acts of Courage" joins us to talk about how the publishing landscape has changed over the last 20 years, what level of promotion you can expect from your publisher, and how your book can be both resource and calling card. If you want to hear how you can turn a speaking engagement into selling hundreds if not thousands of your books tune in!

A Sunday programme special on the relationship between Religion and Art. For centuries the visual medium was used extensively to tell stories from key religious texts. It was a powerful and effective way of communicating religion to the illiterate masses. Today the masses are literate but biblical illiteracy is at an all-time high. So in this special edition of Sunday we ask what does religious art mean in the 21st Century. How do modern artists interpret religion in their work? Is art used more to challenge religion than to express religious ideas? It's often said that art galleries are the new cathedrals, places where those who are outside the church explore Life's big questions; what challenge does that pose to the churches? How do religions of the Book engage with increasingly visual cultures, and when does one person's freedom of expression cross the line to become offensive or insulting to others? Producers: Rosie Dawson Zaffar Iqbal Series Producer: Amanda Hancox.
