The Redeemed of God Jonathan Parnell Download Psalm 107,Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble3 and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.4 Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in;5 hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them.6 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.7 He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in.8 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!9 For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.10 Some satin darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons,11 for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High.12 So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help.13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart.15 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!16 For he shatters the doors of bronze and cuts in two the bars of iron.17 Some were fools through their sinful ways, and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;18 they loathed any kind of food, and they drew nearto the gates of death.19 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.20 He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.21 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!22 And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!23 Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters;24 they saw the deeds of the Lord, his wondrous works in the deep.25 For hecommanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea.26 They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted awayin their evil plight;27 they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits' end.28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.29 He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.30 Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven.31 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!32 Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.33 He turnsrivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground,34 a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants.35 He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water.36 And there he lets the hungry dwell, and they establish a city to live in;37 they sow fields and plant vineyards and get a fruitful yield.38 By his blessing they multiply greatly, and he does not let their livestock diminish.39 When they are diminished and brought low through oppression, evil, and sorrow,40 he pours contempt on princes and makes them wander in trackless wastes;41 but he raises up the needy out of affliction and makes their families like flocks.42 The upright see it and are glad, and all wickedness shuts its mouth.43 Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things; let them consider the steadfast love of the Lord.And we just heard verse 43. Now we want to do exactly what it says… This morning, by the grace of God, we're gonna be wise and we're gonna “attend to these things.”There are three central truths in Psalm 107 that we need to see. The first is this:1. The redeemed of God come from everywhere.This is verses 1–3. The psalmist is commanding the people of God to praise him. And notice in verse 2 that he calls the people of God “the redeemed of the Lord.” And that word “redeemed” is another way to say to be saved. It means to be claimed as one's own and brought back into safety at a cost to the redeemer. That's true for the people of God! We are who we are, first and foremost, because God has taken it upon himself to rescue us. We've been saved. Then verses 2 and 3 tell us more: We've been redeemed from trouble and gathered in from lands east, west, north, and south. I read this verse to the kids the other night and asked what it means if something is from east, west, north, and south — and John Owen said right away: It means from everywhere.That's exactly right. These are the four corners of the earth. It means everywhere— fromevery direction.And from the start in Psalm 107 this means two things are happening: this is an answer to prayer and it's a sign of hope. Thinking CanonicallyThis is an answer to prayer because of the immediate context. Last week, Psalm 106 closed with this prayer in verse 47: “Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.”This week Psalm 107 opens in thanks and praise to God because he has answered that prayer. The people of God had been scattered, but now God is starting to do what looked like the new exodus. This is where we see the sign of hope … For this part, we gotta zoom out from the Book of Psalms and remember the whole storyline of Scripture and the history behind this: The Book of Psalms was shaped into its final form within the historical context of Israel's captivity in Babylon. The people of God were in exile, longing for the Messiah to rescue them. They longed for the restored kingdom the prophets foretold. And in 538 BC, Cyrus king of Persia allowed Jewish exiles to return to their homeland. Eventually the temple was rebuiltand the walls of Jerusalem were restored (we read about this in Ezra and Nehemiah). That's the historical situation behind Psalm 107. It was a foretaste of the hope to come, but it was still a far cry from the new and greater exodus envisioned by the Old Testament prophets … that's because:The nations are not yet streaming to Zion. The earth is not yet full of the knowledge of the Lord.The wolf is not yet hanging out with the lamb. Jerusalem was not yet new — it wasn't even what it used to be. That's why Psalm 107 is mainly a pointer. It's a signpost looking beyond itself. The real hope is that one day — quote: “people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at the table in the kingdom of God” — that's a direct quote from Jesus in Luke 13:29.Jesus affirms this Old Testament hope. One day the redeemed of God will come from everywhere, and every direction. And that's the church that Jesus is building now. Ever since Acts Chapter 2, Christians are from all over the world.Worthy of Global GloryAnd this is really important. It's one of the most glorious things about our faith. It's why Christianity has been called a missionary faith. And it's unique to us. Christianity is not like Islam. Islam is a coercive religion that imposes itself on other cultures. The goal of Islam is not to seek the good of a city, but the goal is conquest. Takeover. It destroys what was there before and tries to do something different. But see, the gospel is able to enter any kind of culture on this planet with both challenge and affirmation … There are parts of every culture that the word of God challenges — it says: “This is out of step with God's design. Change it.” And there are also parts of every culture that the word of God affirms — it says: “This echoes something good in God's design. Redeem it.”It's always both, which is why expressions of the church can look so different all around the world, and the Bible can be translated in any language — it's beautiful! The gospel never requires someone to become culturally Jewish or Roman or American. Jesus makes one people from every people. Because he is worthy of global glory. … That's where we're headed. This Old Testament hope, and what Jesus taught, one day is gonna be a “great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages” and we will all gather around the throne of the Lamb and we will praise him together (see Revelation 7:9).The redeemed of God come from everywhere. That's the first truth to see. Here's the second:2. The redeemed of God are rescued from every trouble.Now notice the word “trouble” in verse 2. The redeemed of the Lord (from all over the world) are redeemed from trouble.And then that trouble is explained in verses 4–23 as four different kinds of trouble. We can put it in four categories: God redeems his people from being … Lost, Trapped, Defeated, and Afraid.Now, look, I don't think these four categories are exhaustive or exclusive. You can be in other kinds of trouble, and you can be in all these kinds of trouble.But what I do know for sure is that all of us have been in some kind of trouble. And some of us are still there. … and if that's you, you're at the right place this morning. Now I'm going to read each kind of trouble to you, but remember this is poetic — it's not gonna describe every detail of your story, but it's gonna make sense to you.First, the trouble of being lost.We see two in verse 4:“Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in; hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them.”Again, most likely none of you have literally wandered around in a desert … but you know what it's like to wander around in a desert. You know what it means to be lost. You're looking for a place to land, for a place to call home, for a place to plant your tree. But everything around you is just flat and dry, and there's nowhere to even sit. So you just keep wandering.This reminds me of earlier this summer. Y'all know I love summer, and I watched a lot of youth sports this summer, but there was one field we were at … flat ground as far as the eye could see, synthetic turf surrounded by concrete surrounded by asphalt surrounded by lava — that's what it felt like. There was no shade at all. The sun was just bearing down. And it was kinda funny to watch, because the parents and spectators would get there, and everyone is trying to figure out where to sit, everyone is wandering around holding their chair, but it's all the same: It's either scorching hot or scorching hot. Like a desert.And in a desert it doesn't take long before you're drained. Your soul gets hungry and thirsty and starts to faint. This the trouble of being lost. Second, the trouble of being trapped. We see this is verse 10:“Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons …”Let me stop here for a minute to make sure you get the picture: This kind of trouble is not being lost, it's being stuck. There's a seat in this trouble, but it's a seat in darkness. It's the shadow of death. And you're imprisoned there. You can't get out. And when you try, you realize that you brought this whole thing upon yourself. The psalmist tells us in verse 11:“for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High. So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help.”Sometimes we choose our trouble. That's what this is. We enslave ourselves to sin, and we can't escape. It's this cycle of a slow downward spiral. We've been there. The trouble of being trapped.Third, the trouble of being defeated.This is verse 17:“Some were fools through their sinful ways, and because of their iniquities suffered affliction; they loathed any kind of food, and they drew near to the gates of death.”I want you to see here the resignation. They're defeated. They've quit. The word for “fools” in verse 17 is one that shows up a lot in the Book of Proverbs. It means “culpable stupidity.” It's the recognition that “Yes, I brought this trouble on myself” but then it's just an implosion. You're beat. You're done. You give up. Think about this as cynicism to the extreme. It is the so-called ‘respectable sin' of our times. You're just grumpy about everything. Despairing. Nothing is ever good enough. You loathe any kind of food. The trouble of being defeated.Fourth, the trouble of being afraid. This is verse 22, and it's a longer description. … it's a picture of being in the middle of a storm at sea … huge waves are rising up around you … and we read in verse 26: “their courage melted away in their evil plight; they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits' end.”Now one of my favorite commentators said something about this verse that struck me. I want to read it to you. Listen to this. He said:Given the wider biblical resonances of the sea and the deep, it is reasonable to suppose that we are to feel here the terror not just of a literal storm at sea but of the forces of wickedness and chaos in the nations that afflict the church of God. (Ash, 124)Try this metaphor: Cities Church, we are in a ship (and it's not a cruise ship — it's a lifeboat) — and we are surrounded by a storm at sea. The wind and waves are raging around us. That's the image.One thing that helps us with this image is that this sanctuary is properly called a nave. That's what this room is. It's the “nave” — which is the Latin word for ship. These wooden beams were built to replicate an old boat. We're in an ark, and we're passing through the storm of this world, and we're trying to get as many people as we can in the ark with us. But right now the storm is bad.And bad storms cause fear. That makes sense. Some of us are at our wit's end. That makes sense too. Both makes sense when you're in a storm, because a storm is something we can't control. This reminds me of a moment when Earnest Shackleton and his team were attempting to cross the Drake Passage. (If you're not familiar with Shackleton, you will be, I'm gonna talk a lot about him for a while.) The Drake Passage is the most dangerous body of water in the world, between the southern tip of South America and Antarctica. It's common for there to be 50-foot waves.The year was 1916, and Shackleton, along with five other men, were trying to make this voyage in a 26-foot sailboat … because it was the best they had. They almost died several times. They kept having to break off the ice that was starting to cover the boat. But all they could really do was hoist the sails and hold on … they needed the right wind. Which was not up to them. And I get that. But the good news for us is that we know who controls the wind. And therefore, in our storm, we do what the redeemed of God have always done when they're in trouble: we cry out to God! This is the refrain we underlined earlier, in verse 6, verse 13, verse 19, verse 28. It's repeated four times: “Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.”The pattern in this psalm is trouble, prayer, deliverance.Trouble, prayer, deliverance. Trouble, prayer, deliverance. Trouble, prayer, deliverance. And it's deliverance for what? What do we want deliverance for?Is it to be comfortable? This is where we need to think hard and be honest. Churches that are compromised by a love for comfort prefer to be in situations where God doesn't need to be God. Sometimes, if we're honest, many Christians want to be in a place where Jesus doesn't have to be real. Now, what's amazing about this room is that you're here. You're in the boat. And I know it's not easy. I'm preaching to the choir here, as they say. But we're gonna be able to stay in this boat together and make it through as long as Jesus is in the boat with us. And he is. And he will bring us through the storm. And not just the storm of present opposition, but the storm that is the journey through this world. Look what he can do in verses 33–42! We're pilgrims, y'all. Our home is that better country, that lasting city. And Jesus will lead us there … rescued from every trouble. Finally, here's the third truth to see:3. The redeemed of God respond with grateful praise. This is what we do because God is God, because Jesus is real: “Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!”This refrain is verse 8, verse 15, verse 21, verse 31. And it's no surprise to us. If our experience is trouble, prayer, deliverance, then of course, our response is grateful praise.Trouble, prayer, deliverance, praise.And this grateful praise is not simply an action we do every now and then, but it is a way of life. Everyday we live grateful to God because we're saved! We are forgiven for all our sin! We are free from the power of Satan! Heaven is our home! God is our treasure!Some of you may know Steve Treichler.He's the senior pastor at Hope Community Church in Minneapolis. He's been there for like 100 years, and one thing I love about Steve is that he knows he's been saved. It's just fresh on his heart. Thinking about this sermon, I sent him a text yesterday and asked him: Steve, what's the secret? How do you keep that reality so fresh?He texted me back, and I gotta tell you what he said. He said — and I quote:“If I've got one spiritual gift it's that I remember where I came from. I remember what it was like to not know the Lord, to be lost, to be terribly afraid and without purpose.”And then he said: he remembers how the gospel came into his life and changed everything. He was lost, now he's found. Me too. Us too.Trapped, but now we're free. Defeated, but now we're saved. Afraid, now we're secure. And we can say:Through many dangers, toils, and snares,we have already come;Grace has brought us safe thus far,And grace will lead us home.And that's how we come to this Table.The TableWe come to this Table remembering from where Jesus has brought us. And that we have come to him. If you're here this morning and you've put your faith in Jesus, we invite you to eat and drink with us. Let's give Jesus grateful praise.

These Are Our People Max Kozak Download Psalm 106,Praise the Lord!Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!2 Who can utter the mighty deeds of the Lord, or declare all his praise?3 Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!4 Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save them,5 that I may look upon the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.6 Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.Mark Twain famously said that history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. That's why I love reading narrative nonfiction. Whether it's Shackleton, or John Adams, there is something uniquely “sticky” about gleaning important lessons other men have learned in the context of hearing their stories. And that's what we'll see the Psalmist setting out to do here, in Psalm 106.Similar to last week, the bulk of this Psalm is another recounting of Israel's history. And the story pretty much picks up where we left off last week. God has demonstrated his mighty power and covenant love by rescuing his people out of Egypt — and now, finally, Israel is about to cross the Red Sea and be on their way to the promised land. But although the story continues, the focus shifts. Psalm 106 has been described as “the dark counterpart to Psalm 105,” because its main focus is on the sin and rebellion of God's people. And we need to see both. Let's pray again, and then we'll jump in.Father, you are a mighty God who shows steadfast love to his covenant people. That was true when you led Israel out of Egypt to the promised land — and it's true now, as you lead us by your Spirit, through your Word. Help us to see and receive what you want to show us this morning in your Word, I pray in Jesus name, amen.1. The Tension: Blessing Belongs to the RighteousBefore we get into the story, we notice that there is a tension introduced in the first few verses that continues throughout this Psalm.After calling Israel to praise the Lord and give him thanks (v.1–2), the Psalmist reminds Israel that blessing belongs to the righteous: “blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times.” (v. 3)He then personally appeals to God's blessing — asking that he would get in on the prosperity, gladness, and glory of God's covenant people (v.5). He says remember me (when you show favor to your people). Help me (when you save them). He wants to be included in their prosperity and the blessings of their inheritance.But if you read ahead, you'll say time out, this makes no sense.First, we'll see later in the Psalm that Israel is in exile when this psalm is written. The “prosperity and gladness” that he wants to get in on is far from Israel's current reality.Second, he's just linked God's blessing to righteousness, but the history that he then goes to great lengths to recount reveals that Israel's track record is the opposite of righteousness. And remember, God's covenant with Israel includes not just blessings for obedience, but also, curses for disobedience (laid out famously in Deuteronomy 28). And as we go through the story we'll see that it's the curses, not the blessings that fit Israel's track record.So that's the elephant in the room — the tension from the start is this: if blessing belongs to the righteous, how can the psalmist identify himself with Israel's wickedness, and yet appeal to God's blessing?2. Israel's Dark Pattern of SinThe story picks up in v.6:“Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.”Now, before we analyze the story, it's important to recognize what he's not doing and what he is doing. First, He is not denouncing or rejecting his heritage. It's clear in verses 4 and 5 that he has tied his identity to God's chosen nation. “Ride or die,” he has linked his fate to that of God's covenant people. At the same time he is not hiding their wickedness. He calls sin, sin, no matter where he sees it. There is no protecting reputations or sugarcoating here.It's also worth noting that he is not “taking on” or “repenting for” his father's sins. There is no “group guilt” going on here. Scripture is clear:“Each will give an account of himself to God.” (Rom 14:12)And yet, he's honest enough to see himself in their story. He does not say “well if it were me in that wilderness, man, I'd do better” — the arrogant attitude that C.S. Lewis calls “chronological snobbery.”Instead, he leads us through a hard, honest look at Israel's history, and a hard honest look at his own heart to identify the dark pattern of sin and rebellion that cuts through every human heart. “Both we and our fathers have sinned.”If last week's history lesson was meant to show us: “wow, this is our God,” this week's history lesson reveals the flip side of the coin: “uff, these are our people.”The Red Sea (vv. 7-12)And we see their first failure at the Red Sea. Israel is on the cusp of leaving Egypt. They are about to walk free after 400 years of slavery. God had absolutely humiliated Pharaoh. Round after round, demonstrating both his power and his covenant love through his Judgement on Egypt, culminating in the death of every firstborn, and making Pharaoh finally relent and let Israel go. So here they are — their Fourth of July moment. And we see rebellion right at the starting line.“Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wondrous works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.” (v. 7)Pharaoh changes his mind, the Israelites see the chariots coming, and they turn on Moses and God saying “did you bring us out here to die?! Didn't we tell you in Egypt to leave us alone?”The Psalmist's first charge begins with “they did not consider God's works” — literally, they gave them no thought — “And forgot the abundance of his love.” Not paying attention, and forgetting, are high-stakes moral offenses, when it comes to our posture towards God. Remembering is a reflection of what we value, and God has given his people provisions for our remembering with many rhythms, disciplines, and reminders to reinforce our attentiveness to Him. Take advantage of them! Meditate on his word daily, tell of his wondrous works to one another, teach them to your children!But instead, Israel's forgetting here reveals their disregard for God and it results in rebellion. Yet God still intervened: He split the sea, destroyed the Egyptian army, and brought them out of Egypt. And for a brief moment, “they believed his word and sang his praise” (v.12). And they lived happily ever after … right?No, instead, we see the fickleness of their trust immediately in the next verse.Wilderness Cravings (vv. 13-15)“But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel. 14 But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert; 15 he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them.” (v. 13)Instead of delighting in the Lord who just saved them, they forget again, and their hearts are corrupted by disordered desires.They had “wanton cravings” for food — literally translates “they crave-craved” food — to the point of putting God to the test: trying to manipulate God into proving himself to them on their terms.There is nothing wrong with their desire for meat, nor with asking God to provide good things we crave. But when you combine forgetting God and disordered desires, our cravings become deadly. Yet God gives them the meat they wanted, and his anger came with it in a wasting disease, where many people died, giving that place the name “graves of craving.”The Coup Against Moses (vv. 16-18)We'll skip over verses 16-18, but basically a group of prominent men, driven by jealousy rises up against Moses in a coup … God intervenes … the ground opens and swallows the leaders alive … and fire from heaven consumes the rest.The Golden Calf (vv. 19-23)Then comes the infamous golden calf episode. Verse 19:“They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a metal image. 20 They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass. 21 They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt, 22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea. 23 Therefore he said he would destroy them—had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them.”Israel forgets again, and this time the whole nation rebels in idolatry. Instead of worshipping God, their savior, they chose to worship pretty much the most pathetic thing they could find. An ox, (that's a male cow) that eats grass. It was pathetic, but more importantly, it was deeply wicked, and a betrayal of their God. And we see its seriousness in verse 23:“Therefore he said he would destroy them—had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them.”After everything from Abraham to Moses, God was ready to wipe them out and start over with Moses. That's the gravity of the situation. And there's no doubt that they deserved destruction, on the spot — ground opening up, or fire coming down. But Moses stands in the breach — a military image: when a wall has been breached, the city's about to get sacked except for a champion who steps into the gap, inserting himself to rescue the people.So what's going on here? Is Moses opposing God? Was God overreacting? Not at all. God is displaying here both the gravity of their sin, while also laying the groundwork for what it will ultimately take to deal with it. God wants Israel to know that the only thing that kept them from experiencing the just wrath of God was God's chosen one interceding on their behalf. And because of Moses' intercession, the flood of God's wrath is held back, at least for now, and without any delusions about what their sin deserves.The Spies Refuse the Promise (vv. 24–27)Then, on the very edge of the promised land, twelve spies are sent to scout it out. Ten of them give a cowardly report that ignites fear in the nation: “giants, fortified cities, no chance.” And Israel, again, ignores God's promise.“They despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise” (v.24).The result: an entire generation dies in the wilderness, without entering the promised land.Phinehas' Intercession (vv. 28–31)Fast forward to verse 28. Israel is now in Moab, right on the doorstep of the land, and they rebel again. This time they join themselves to the Moabites by worshiping their pagan idols and committing sexual immorality with them. So God's anger breaks out in a deadly plague against his people.And here in the midst of this plague, someone again intercedes — but this time it looks a little different. Phinehas (Aaron's grandson) sees a blatant demonstration of rebellion happening openly between a leading Israelite man and a prominent Moabite woman, so he grabs his spear, and executes judgment on both: with one thrust, deals with sin on the spot. And as the text says:“he intervened, and the plague was stayed, and that was counted to him as righteousness from generation to generation forever” (v.30–31).“Intervened” is an interesting choice of word. It's that intercession language again. Moses turned away God's wrath through intercessory pleading. Phinehas turns away God's wrath through intercessory action, executing justice for sin on the spot. Both are described as acts of intercession that hold back the flood of God's judgement against Israel, for now.And there's an important application for us here: Confront sin in your life head-on. Do not coddle sin, or it will destroy you. That requires calling sin what it is, and not concealing it. Phinehas confronted sin out of his righteous Zeal for the Lord and out of his love for his people. So confront sin starting with your own heart, and then commit to helping one another confront sin in Life Groups. The stakes are too high for a Minnesota-Nice coddling of sin. Sin dishonors God and when left unchecked will destroy you! Help each other root it out, in love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend.Defiling the Land (vv. 34–40)Fast forward to verse 34. Israel is finally in the promised land. You'd think, after everything they've been through, they would have learned. Instead, once they're finally in the land, they again, immediately disregard what God commands. God had told them to destroy the Canaanites, but instead…“They did not destroy the peoples, as the Lord commanded them, 35 but they mixed with the nations and learned to do as they did. 36 They served their idols, which became a snare to them. 37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons; 38 they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood. 39 Thus they became unclean by their acts, and played the whore in their deeds. 40 Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his heritage;”Instead of obeying God and executing righteous judgement (like Phinehas) to remove the evil from the land, they became just like them. They served their gods, and polluted the land with the blood of their own sons and daughters whom they sacrificed to demons!These are dark, dark verses. It should make us sick to our stomach. And it's an important reminder of the trajectory of sin. It is never satisfied staying where it is. It always drags you further and further into darkness, long before you see it's true ugliness.What's our view of sin? Does it make us sick? There's an ever-present danger of minimizing sin and there are many reasons for this. For one, the world around us celebrates it, and it's easy to grow accustomed to it. But also, because we've never seen the full extent of it's depravity. Don't get me wrong, we've seen enough. But, throughout all of history, in countless ways, God always restrains sin from its full expression. Whatever wickedness you have seen (both in your own heart, and in the world around you), is just the tip of the iceberg. Don't underestimate it. And this Psalm helps us not to underestimate it. They sacrificed their own children to demons! Sin is infinitely offensive to God, and it will keep dragging you further and further into it's bottomless pit.So here they are, the ugliness of their hearts on full display. And God can't stand it. He abhors them. He says “Get Out.” Right back into the hand of the nations to be ruled by those who hate them (v.41).Verse 6 opened things up with “Both we and our fathers have sinned” and verse 43 bookends it with his summary:“Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their purposes and were brought low through their iniquity.”Or as the NIV puts it, “they were bent on rebellion.”This wasn't occasional, nor was it circumstantial. Bent. It's who they are and, if we're honest, it's who we are as well. This isn't just Israel's reality, or a uniquely wicked generation. It's the condition of the human heart. From Adam to us, history rhymes in a dark pattern of sin and rebellion against God.“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Rom 3:23)And it brings us back to our original tension: if blessing belongs to the righteous, how can the psalmist (and how can we) who identify with Israel's wickedness, appeal to God's blessing?Well, Psalm 106 doesn't fully resolve that tension. In a way, it is a true cliff-hanger. The main melody of Psalm 106 is Israel's dark pattern of rebellion and the psalm ends with Israel in exile. But even so, there is a powerful countermelody of God's mercy throughout this psalm, most clearly in verse 44 right after their rock bottom moment.3. God's Countermelody of Mercy“Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress, when he heard their cry. 45 For their sake he remembered his covenant, and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love. 46 He caused them to be pitied by all those who held them captive.”Unlike Israel, who forgets God's covenant at every turn, God never forgets his covenant. The great miracle of Psalm 106 is God's unwavering commitment to his people despite their sin. Time after time he preserves Israel when they deserve to be swept away in his righteous judgment. In every example we've walked through, anything short of Israel's utter destruction is an example of God's countermelody of mercy — his covenant love inserting itself between Israel's guilt and the judgement they deserve.But how? On what basis does “nevertheless” get to happen? God is no less just here than he was when he wiped out Korah's rebellion. So what holds the flood back?Our psalm has already alluded to it twice, both times incomplete. Moses stood in the breach — interceding through pleading, but absorbing nothing himself. Phinehas interceded through judgment — dealing with sin decisively, but only for one sin, not to mention that they were destroyed in the process. These examples highlight two halves of the same tension. What we need is someone to do both. Someone who will stand in the breach in our place, and satisfy God's justice on our behalf.The tension of Psalm 106 and it's hints of intercession both point forward in time to Christ's intercession on the cross once and for all. Romans 3:23-26 reminds us plainly: “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.”Jesus is God's answer to the tension. The Son of God became a man, lived the righteous life we couldn't, and stepped into the breach for us receiving the full judgement for our sins on the cross. He accomplished what Moses and Phinehas pointed to. He satisfied the judgment that our sin demanded, and displayed God's covenant mercy for all who trust in him. He takes the judgement for our sins, and we inherit the blessings of his righteousness. Intercession, completed.This is what makes the psalmist's plea in verse 47 possible.“Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.”He trusted that God in his mercy and justice would make a way to gather his people for worship and thanksgiving despite their track record. And it's why he can appeal to God's blessing despite his own sinfulness. Every “nevertheless” in Israel's history was borrowed against the cross. Every time God held back the flood, he was holding it back until it could finally, fully fall on his Son, in our place. That was true for Israel, and it's true for us. These are our people, and this is our God!And that brings us to the table.The TableThe table reminds us of where God's mercy and justice meet. No longer in tension, not in some uneasy compromise, but both fully satisfied at the cross.That's what this bread and this cup remind us of. His body, broken for us. His blood poured out for us. Christ took our sins upon himself, and we receive the blessings of His righteousness. We don't come to this table because our track record is any better than Israel's, we come because Christ stood where we should have stood, and declared “It is Finished.”As we celebrate the Lord's table together, this meal is a meal for the members of Cities Church, but if you have trusted in Jesus we invite you to eat with us.If you have not trusted in Jesus, we ask that you let the bread and the cup pass, but let this psalm be your invitation. As Tim Keller notes, you are more sinful than you know, and more loved than you imagine. Trust in Jesus today.

“Is this dubstep?”There was a time in the 2010s when approximately 23% of all YouTube comments were a variation of this question. One of the UK's most influential yet misunderstood dance exports, dubstep is also one of those rare genres that can trace its origins to a handful of people working in a few rooms.That unusual origin story is definitively told in a new book, Aftershock: The Seismic Impact of Dubstep. Based on hundreds of hours of interviews by journalist Lauren Martin, it weaves together testimony from the main players (including Benny Ill, Skream, Hatcha, Loefah, Mala, Coki, Youngsta, Plastician, Sgt Pokes, Kode9, Shackleton, Pinch, Joker and Rusko) with thoughtful framing from the likes of Martin Clark and Ammunition's Neil Jolliffe, plus stacks of of flyers, ephemera and unseen photos.We had a blast going through the archives in preparation for this conversation with Lauren, where we talked about Croydon in the early 2000s, the school-age crew that formed around Big Apple Records, the closed loop of creativity that allowed the nascent genre to develop, the particular magic of FWD>> at Plastic People, the impact of Radio 1's Dubstep Warz broadcast, and the competing explanations for dubstep's demise in the 2010s, among many other things.Before the episode's big drop into dubstep, Tom and Chal compare notes on a very ‘Merican month in the stunned afterglow of the World Cup half-time show, UFC on the White House lawn, a pretty decent Madonna album and Tom's trip to the sunshine state.We do No Tags for the love of the game, but you can support the podcast in material ways by buying our latest book or subscribing to our paid tier for £5 per month.

Last week we explored "waiting without answers." This week we're looking at a different kind of uncertainty: not knowing which way to go. Summer is often a season of transition. Decisions need to be made. Some of you are facing big questions: Should I take this job? Should I move? Should I change directions? Should I stay where I am? How do I care for my aging parents? How do I prepare for retirement? You're praying. You're seeking direction. You're hoping God will make the path clear. Unlike last week's message, this uncertainty involves choice. You're not just waiting for something to happen; you're trying to discern what you should do. And that's its own kind of burden. Every decision opens some doors and closes others, and you want to choose wisely. One of the greatest explorers in history understood what it was like to need direction. In 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton's ship, Endurance, became trapped and crushed by Antarctic ice, leaving his crew stranded in one of the harshest places on earth. Months later, Shackleton and five companions climbed into a 22-foot lifeboat and set out on an astonishing 800-mile voyage across the Southern Ocean to bring rescue to the rest of the crew. Their survival depended on the navigator, Frank Worsley. There was no GPS, no radar, no electronic navigation. Most days the sky was completely overcast. But whenever the clouds parted—even for a few seconds—Worsley would quickly take a reading of the sun and determine their course. Those brief glimpses of light kept them from drifting hundreds of miles off course. He didn't need sunlight all day. He just needed enough light for the next bearing. I think that's where many of us live. We wish God would hand us a detailed roadmap for the next ten years. Instead, He often gives us enough light for the next faithful step. That's exactly where David finds himself in Psalm 25. David wrote this psalm when he was lost—spiritually, emotionally, and practically. He needed direction, and he brought that need to God in prayer: "Show me Your ways, LORD, teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You I wait all the day long." (Psalm 25:4–5) Notice what David asks for. He doesn't ask for a map. He asks for a Guide. And that's one of the great lessons of this psalm. Seeking God's direction is not primarily about getting an immediate answer. It's about becoming the kind of person who trusts God enough to follow Him, even when the whole path isn't yet visible. Today we'll discover that God's guidance is less about revealing every step ahead and more about walking closely with the Shepherd who already knows the way. THE PSALM: LISTEN TO DAVID'S PRAYER FOR GUIDANCE Psalm 25:1-5, “To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in You; do not let me be ashamed; do not let my enemies exult over me. Indeed, none of those who wait for You will be ashamed; those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed. Make known to me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You I wait all the day long.” Notice the movement. David starts by lifting his soul to God. He's not trying to figure this out alone. He's bringing his confusion to God. Then he makes a declaration: “I trust in You.” Not “I feel like I trust You.” But “I choose to trust You.” Then comes the request: “Make known to me Your ways. Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth.” He's asking for guidance. But notice—he's also asking to be taught. He's asking to understand, not just to know the right move. Then verse 8-10: “Good and upright is the Lord; therefore He instructs sinners in the way. He leads the humble in justice, and He teaches the humble His way. All the paths of the Lord are lovingkindness and truth, to those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.” David is reminding himself of something true: God is good. God wants to guide us. God leads the humble. THE CHALLENGE: THE PATH ISN'T ALWAYS CLEAR Here's the reality that no one talks about: Sometimes God makes the path crystal clear. A door opens. An opportunity presents itself. The answer is obvious. But sometimes—and maybe more often than not—God doesn't make the path completely clear. You're standing at a crossroads. Both directions seem possible. Both have merit. One has security but less meaning. One has meaning but more risk. You're praying. You're seeking. And the answer still isn't obvious. Both feel right and wrong at the same time. And that's when doubt creeps in. You find yourself thinking: If God really wanted to guide me, wouldn't He make it obvious? If He cared about this decision, wouldn't He remove all the uncertainty? But that's not how God usually works. Psalm 25 teaches something different. It teaches that God's guidance often comes through a process. Through seeking. Through prayer. Through wisdom from others. Through testing. Through small clarities that add up to a direction. Notice that David doesn't ask for a thunderbolt. He asks to be led and taught. “Lead me in Your truth and teach me.” He's asking for an ongoing process of being guided and learning, not a one-time answer that settles everything. And notice verse 9: “He leads the humble in justice, and He teaches the humble His way.” God leads the humble. Humility is the key. Humility means admitting you don't have all the answers. Humility means trusting God enough to take the next step even when you can't see the whole path. APPLICATION: SEEKING DIRECTION IN UNCERTAINTY Some of you are facing a decision right now. Maybe it's a big one. A job change. A relationship decision. A move. A calling you're sensing but can't quite name. Maybe it's smaller—how to spend your time, what to invest in, where to go next. You've prayed. You've sought counsel. You've searched the Scriptures. Yet the answer still isn't crystal clear. I think of a man who spent two years wrestling with whether to leave a secure career for work that better aligned with his faith and sense of calling. He kept waiting for God to send a lightning bolt of certainty—but it never came. Instead, clarity came gradually. Trusted people affirmed his gifts. An unexpected opportunity opened. The inner conviction grew stronger until he realized he couldn't ignore it any longer. He didn't have complete certainty before he stepped out in faith. But he had enough light for the next step. Looking back, he realized something important: the certainty came after the step of obedience, not before it. That's often how God guides us. He rarely hands us a detailed roadmap. Instead, He gives us enough light for the next faithful step. As we walk in obedience, He provides the light for the step after that. THE DISCIPLINE OF SEEKING Psalm 25 teaches us that seeking God's direction is itself a spiritual practice. It's not something you do once and move on from. It's something you return to whenever you're at a crossroads. It's also not passive. You're not sitting back hoping God will telegraph the answer. You're seeking. You're asking. You're praying. You're listening. You're seeking counsel from wise, godly people who know you well. You're exploring opportunities and paying attention to how God opens and closes doors. Dallas Willard once wrote, "The life of faith is not about having all the answers. It's about learning to trust the One who does." That's the heart of Psalm 25. You don't need to see the entire path. You need to trust God enough to take the next faithful step. And often, as you take that step, more clarity comes. Here's what's remarkable: the seeking itself strengthens your faith. As you pray, listen, and seek wise counsel, you're not merely looking for an answer—you're learning to know God. You're learning to recognize His voice, trust His character, and discern His guidance through Scripture, circumstances, godly counsel, and the quiet work of the Holy Spirit. Some people think of guidance as a transaction: "God, just tell me what to do." But Psalm 25 presents something much richer. Guidance is relational. In seeking God's will, you're drawing near to Him, and in the process, He is shaping you into the kind of person who can follow Him faithfully whether the path is clear or not. That's why David prays, "Teach me." He doesn't simply want directions—he wants to become the kind of disciple who knows the Shepherd's voice. THE PROMISE: GOD LEADS THE HUMBLE Here's the promise of Psalm 25: "He leads the humble in what is right and teaches the humble His way" (Psalm 25:9). God leads the humble—not those who have everything figured out, but those who admit they need His guidance. Those who are willing to be taught. Those who trust that God sees what they cannot. If you're facing uncertainty today, you're in exactly the right place to be led by God. Your confusion isn't necessarily a sign that God is silent. It may be His invitation to deeper humility and greater trust. And here's the beautiful part: the path God leads is always marked by "steadfast love and faithfulness" (Psalm 25:10). The destination may not be what you expected, and the journey may not be easy, but it will be good because it is guided by the loving heart of God. That's a promise worth trusting. HOW TO PRAY THIS PSALM First: Pray it when you're facing a decision. Use David's own words if they help: "Show me Your ways, Lord. Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me." Sometimes borrowing Scripture's prayers is easier than finding your own. Second: Don't rush the answer. Our culture tells us to decide quickly and move on. Psalm 25 invites us into a process: seek, pray, ask wise people, explore possibilities, and give God time to work. His guidance often comes gradually, not instantly. Third: Pay attention to how God opens and closes doors. Sometimes His guidance comes more through providence than through a dramatic feeling. An unexpected opportunity, wise counsel, or a door that quietly opens may be how He is leading. Fourth: Remember that God is good. "All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness." Even when His path is difficult or unexpected, it is marked by His goodness and loving care. Fifth: Be willing to take the next step without seeing the whole path. David prays, "Lead me...and teach me," describing an ongoing journey. As you walk in faith, God often provides the light for the step after that. Finally: Don't confuse waiting with passivity. Seek wise counsel. Search the Scriptures. Pray. Explore your options. Waiting on God isn't doing nothing—it's faithfully doing what you can while trusting God to do what only He can do. CONCLUSION Some of you will come out of your season of uncertainty soon. The decision will become clear. You'll see which way to go. And you'll step forward with confidence, knowing that God led you. Others of you may remain in uncertainty for longer. The answer might not come quickly. You might have to live with ambiguity while you continue seeking. And that's okay. God's timeline for clarity is not always our timeline. Either way, Psalm 25 teaches you this: God is not far away. God has not forgotten you. God is willing to guide the humble. And your seeking itself is a form of prayer that God honors. Your willingness to admit you don't know, to seek wisdom, to listen carefully—that's the kind of humble faith God loves to guide.

Wykład Jerzego Giżejewskiego z Instytutu Geofizyki PAN w ramach Projektu Edu-Arctic [8 czerwca 2024 r.]Jak przeżyć wiele miesięcy na krze lodowej po zatonięciu statku? Czy można uratować całą załogę w jednym z najbardziej niegościnnych miejsc na Ziemi? I dlaczego wyprawa, która nie osiągnęła swojego głównego celu, przeszła do historii jako jedna z największych ekspedycji polarnych wszech czasów?Imperialna Ekspedycja Transantarktyczna z lat 1914–1917 to jedna z najbardziej niezwykłych historii eksploracji naszej planety. Jej celem było dokonanie czegoś, czego wcześniej nie udało się nikomu – przejścia przez cały kontynent antarktyczny od Morza Weddella do Morza Rossa, przez biegun południowy.Na czele wyprawy stanął Sir Ernest Shackleton, legendarny brytyjski odkrywca polarny, który po zdobyciu bieguna południowego przez Roalda Amundsena uznał, że ostatnim wielkim wyzwaniem epoki heroicznej eksploracji Antarktydy jest właśnie przemierzenie kontynentu w poprzek.Wykład przedstawia historię odkrywania Antarktydy – od pierwszych lądowań na kontynencie, przez wyprawy Scotta i Amundsena, aż po ambitne plany Shackletona. Szczegółowo omawia przebieg ekspedycji statku Endurance, który został uwięziony przez lód Morza Weddella, a następnie zmiażdżony przez napierające pola lodowe.Rozpoczyna się dramatyczna walka o przetrwanie. Uczestnicy wyprawy przez wiele miesięcy dryfują na krze lodowej, później docierają do Wyspy Słoniowej, a następnie Shackleton wraz z niewielką grupą podejmuje jedną z najbardziej brawurowych podróży w historii żeglarstwa, próbując sprowadzić pomoc dla pozostawionych towarzyszy.Wykład pokazuje nie tylko przebieg wydarzeń, ale również fenomen przywództwa Shackletona. Jego zdolność utrzymania morale, organizacji życia codziennego i podejmowania decyzji w ekstremalnych warunkach do dziś stanowi przedmiot analiz historyków, psychologów i ekspertów zajmujących się zarządzaniem kryzysowym.Dowiemy się również:• jak wyglądała eksploracja Antarktydy na początku XX wieku,• dlaczego wyprawa Endurance stała się symbolem wytrwałości i odwagi,• jak funkcjonowano przez wiele miesięcy na lodzie,• jakie zagrożenia czekały na uczestników ekspedycji,• dlaczego historia Shackletona jest dziś wykorzystywana w szkoleniach liderów i menedżerów.Szczególnym elementem wykładu jest także opowieść o odnalezieniu wraku statku Endurance w 2022 roku. Ponad sto lat po zatonięciu badaczom udało się odnaleźć jednostkę spoczywającą na głębokości ponad 3000 metrów pod powierzchnią Morza Weddella. Stan zachowania wraku zaskoczył naukowców i stał się jednym z najważniejszych odkryć współczesnej archeologii morskiej.W wykładzie m.in.:• Ernest Shackleton i epoka heroiczna eksploracji polarnej,• zdobycie bieguna południowego,• wyprawa Endurance,• historia odkrywania Antarktydy,• przetrwanie w ekstremalnych warunkach,• przywództwo i zarządzanie kryzysowe,• Morze Weddella i Wyspa Słoniowa,• odnalezienie wraku Endurance w 2022 roku.Dr Jerzy Giżejewski – geolog i polarnik, wieloletni pracownik Instytutu Geofizyki PAN. Od 1991 roku związany z Zakładem Badań Polarnych i Morskich IGF PAN, gdzie prowadził badania nad sedymentacją osadów w jeziorach i fiordach południowego Spitsbergenu. Dwukrotnie kierował całorocznymi wyprawami PAN do Polskiej Stacji Polarnej Hornsund, a wielokrotnie uczestniczył w pracach terenowych na Spitsbergenie. Od lat angażuje się również w popularyzację wiedzy o Arktyce, Antarktyce i historii wypraw polarnych, m.in. w ramach projektów edukacyjnych Instytutu Geofizyki PAN, takich jak EDUSCIENCE, EDU-ARCTIC, EDU-ARCTIC.PL i Odyssey.#Antarktyda #Shackleton #Endurance #historia #wyprawypolarne #eksploracja #biegunpołudniowy #ErnestShackleton #polarnictwo #geografia #historianauki #WszechnicaZnajdź nas: https://www.youtube.com/c/WszechnicaFWW/https://www.facebook.com/WszechnicaFWW1/https://anchor.fm/wszechnicaorgpl---historiahttps://anchor.fm/wszechnica-fww-naukahttps://wszechnica.org.pl/

En 1914, un explorador puso un anuncio en un periódico para reclutar hombres dispuestos a cruzar la Antártida. No prometía gloria inmediata, ni seguridad, ni sueldo generoso. Prometía frío extremo, meses de oscuridad, peligro constante y un regreso dudoso. La historia dice que respondieron miles. El hombre era Ernest Shackleton, y el barco se llamaba Endurance, un nombre magnífico para una expedición condenada a comprobar que el marketing, cuando se enfrenta al hielo, no siempre conserva su dignidad. La idea era cruzar el continente antártico de costa a costa. Una empresa heroica, absurda y muy británica, de esas que empiezan con mapas, bigotes y frases solemnes, y terminan con hombres comiendo grasa de foca mientras reconsideran su relación con el Imperio. Pero el Endurance nunca llegó a cumplir su misión. Quedó atrapado en el hielo del mar de Weddell, fue aplastado lentamente por la presión y acabó hundiéndose. No hubo travesía continental, conquista ni foto final con bandera y pecho hinchado. Y, sin embargo, la expedición pasó a la historia como una de las mayores gestas de liderazgo jamás contadas. Ese es el giro de guión. Shackleton fracasó en su objetivo original de forma absoluta, pero salvó a todos sus hombres. Durante meses, en uno de los lugares más hostiles del planeta, mantuvo vivo al grupo, cruzó hielo, navegó en botes diminutos por mares imposibles y terminó llegando a Georgia del Sur para organizar el rescate. La misión fue un desastre; la gestión del desastre fue una obra maestra. Hay historias que nos obsesionan porque terminan bien. Esta nos persigue porque empezó mal y, aun así, produjo grandeza. En los mercados ocurre algo parecido. Nos pasamos la vida buscando empresas, sectores y narrativas que cumplan el plan perfecto: crecimiento, márgenes, tipos bajos, demanda infinita, múltiplos generosos y una presentación trimestral con más flechas ascendentes que una tienda de arquería. Pero el mercado rara vez premia solo los planes bonitos. A veces premia a quien sabe sobrevivir cuando el hielo empieza a crujir. Y lo más curioso es que el crujido casi nunca llega como un cataclismo teatral. Llega primero como un detalle incómodo. Un coste que sube demasiado rápido. Una financiación que ya no es tan barata. Una acción que no reacciona como debería. Un cliente que empieza a pagar la factura de otro. Una narrativa que sigue siendo cierta, pero empieza a ser menos gratuita. Ese es el momento que de verdad importa. No cuando el barco se hunde. Cuando todavía flota, pero alguien atento oye la madera quejarse. Esta semana en Actualidad Semanal +D hablamos de ese crujido. De una bolsa que no ha dejado de creer en sus grandes historias, pero que empieza a distinguir entre quien tiene un barco resistente, quien solo tiene una bandera bonita y quien ha confundido hielo con tierra firme. No es un episodio sobre catástrofes. Es algo más útil: un episodio sobre resistencia, facturas escondidas y narrativas que descubren que el invierno también sabe hacer due diligence. Porque en los mercados, como en la Antártida, el plan impresiona menos que la capacidad de seguir vivo cuando el plan se rompe.

Old chemicals found in two historic Antarctic huts could be explosive according to a chemistry professor. The chemicals, which have remained at Scott's hut and Shackleton's hut for over 100 years, could contain pictric acid crystals and peroxide crystals. Antarctica NZ is aiming to dispose of the chemicals, but it will depend on sea ice conditions as to when they'll be able to get there. Luka Forman reports.

On November 21, 1915, the hope of Sir Ernest Shackleton and his twenty-seven crew members sank, along with their ship Endurance, into the dark below the Antarctic ice. They were stranded, thousands of miles from home. Later, the crew shared several things that aided their survival, including a banjo. Embarking on their brutal trek, Leonard Hussey (the expedition’s meteorologist) was the only person allowed more than two pounds of personal gear. He was allowed to bring his twelve-pound Windsor banjo. “It’s vital mental medicine,” Shackleton told Hussey, “and we shall need it.” The crew’s journals explained the power of Hussey’s music. “The banjo does . . . supply brain food,” wrote one sailor. Another reflected on “Hussey’s indispensable banjo.” The Bible presents music as one of God’s immense gifts, a way His healing and comfort enter the human heart. In the tragic story of King Saul, we hear how (due to his disobedience) he was oppressed by an “evil spirit” (1 Samuel 16:14). And what did Saul’s attendants believe the king needed to provide relief? Music. So, they found young David with his harp. “David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him” (v. 23). Music offers more than mere entertainment. It can bring joy, renew hope, and comfort weary souls. It’s truly one of God’s powerful gifts.

In this episode, I use the extraordinary true story of Ernest Shackleton’s 1915 Antarctic expedition to show exactly what it looks like when a leader refuses to let hope become the plan — and what happens instead.Hope Is Not a Strategy: The Lesson Shackleton Already KnewWhen Shackleton’s ship, The Endurance, became locked in Antarctic ice in 1915, there was no rescue coming. No technology. No timeline. What he understood — and what Viktor Frankl later documented in Man’s Search for Meaning — is that people who attach their emotional survival to a hoped-for outcome are the most fragile people in the room. Frankl could identify the prisoners who would die first in the concentration camps. They were the ones who had pinned everything to a specific date — Christmas, a promised release. When that date passed, they fell apart. So did Shackleton’s carpenter, who began to spread dissent among the crew. Shackleton stopped it immediately. He understood that one person’s emotional collapse, if left unchecked, could kill everyone. The lesson isn’t that hope is bad. It’s that hope as your primary psychological strategy is dangerous. It keeps you on the edge of fear — one disappointment away from crashing. Hope Is Not a Strategy — Present-Moment Living IsWhat Shackleton’s crew did instead is something I’ve watched the most successful people I’ve ever coached do in their own lives. They didn’t just survive Antarctica — they lived there. They played football on the ice. They put on theatrical performances. They took care of their sled dogs. They chose to make the experience of being where they were as full and human as possible, while using the goal of getting home as direction — not salvation. I see this same pattern play out for entrepreneurs and business owners every week. When a sale falls through, when the numbers don’t match the picture in your head, when you get a bad review or a rejection — the people relying on hope crash. The people living fully in the moment, with understanding and awareness instead of hope, stay stable. That stability is what keeps your frequency aligned with what you’re building. When your emotions drop, your vibration drops, and you begin attracting more of what you don’t want. What Disappointment Is Really Telling YouDisappointment is a hidden expectation. Every time you feel it, it’s a signal that somewhere underneath, you were relying on a specific outcome to be okay. That’s hope doing its quiet damage. The shift I’m teaching here is from hope to understanding — from ‘I’m surviving until things change’ to ‘I’m fully alive in what is, while moving toward what’s next.’ Your goal gives you direction. But who you become in the journey is the whole point. If you’ve been riding the emotional highs and lows of your business or your life — this episode is the conversation that reorients everything.

ON ADVENTURE PODCAST |  EPISODE 72 Episode 72: Risk in Every Form with Greg Winchester    Episode Description What does it take to keep saying yes to risk, in the boardroom, on the trail, and across all seven continents, for forty years and counting? Greg Winchester calls himself an armchair explorer, but the title sells him short. Over a 40-plus-year career in commercial real estate, he has worked through the savings and loan crisis, the 2008 financial crisis, and COVID, first as a banker, then as a co-owner, and today as an investor through his family office, Summit Investors. In 2003, he and two partners bought their company from its founders in a management buyout, personally guaranteeing the entire debt with 300 employees and no safety net. As Greg puts it, it was like walking to the end of the diving board and jumping, hoping there was water below. A lifelong Boy Scout who fell in love with the outdoors in the Roan Highlands of North Carolina, Greg went on to serve on the board of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and to build a life of generosity that reaches all seven continents, inspired by the book Seven Summits. From an orphanage in Bolivia to a pastors' training center in Uganda, a nearly thousand-year-old cathedral in Winchester, England, and Sir Ernest Shackleton's grave on South Georgia Island near Antarctica, he and his wife set out to support smaller, lesser-known nonprofits and build real relationships, not just write checks. In this conversation, Josh and Greg trace the many forms risk can take. They dig into why leverage is a two-edged sword, how diversification and dry powder let you run into the fire when others are running out, why your gut becomes a kind of superpower after twenty years in any arena, and how setting goals every year since his twenties shaped a life of purpose. Greg also shares the two questions a pair of mentors asked him in his mid-fifties, what is a noble cause you can get involved with, and what do you actually want to do, and why finishing well may be the greatest adventure of all.

Series: Contending for The Faith Title: "How do we stand firm in truth and love?" Part 1 Scripture: Jude 1:1-16 2 Cor 13:5 "test yourselves to see if you are in the faith. Examine yourselves." Numbers 14 12 spies Ezekiel 16:49 Sodom and Gommorah's sins 1 Cor 6:9-11 Wicked Corinth received cleansing Bottom line: Standing firm means contending for The Faith, rejecting distorted grace, and staying vigilant in fruit-bearing of both ourselves and others in love and by love. INTRODUCTION CONTEXT OUTLINE CONCLUSION DISCUSSION QUESTIONS NOTES YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION MAIN REFERENCES USED My opening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. OPENING STORY(ies) From the Lord of the Rings second book, The Two Towers In The Lord of the Rings, King Théoden has slowly fallen under the corrupting influence of Gríma Wormtongue. Wormtongue constantly whispers lies, fear, half-truths, and discouragement into the king's ear until Théoden becomes weak, passive, isolated, and unable to discern reality clearly. The corruption is subtle, not obvious. Wormtongue presents himself as a loyal counselor while actually undermining the king and the kingdom from within. Then Gandalf confronts the deception directly. He exposes Wormtongue's influence, calls Théoden to wake up, and helps him see clearly again. Once freed from that corrupting voice, Théoden rises, regains strength, and leads courageously. That parallels Jude well: False teachers rarely arrive looking dangerous. They infiltrate quietly (“have slipped in among you” — Jude 4). They distort truth while pretending loyalty. Over time they weaken discernment, courage, holiness, and mission. Jude, like Gandalf, is sounding the alarm: wake up, see clearly, contend for the faith, and do not surrender the community to corrupt influences. -ChatGPT Jude is giving the Church a wake-up call to arms. It's a challenging call that most Christ-followers brush aside so it won't disturb their spiritual slumber. Through Jude's letter, God is calling his church--his body--to rise up and contend for the faith, reject distorted grace, and stay vigilant with ourselves and others regarding ungodliness. We do all of this in love because we're loved. This calling is for everyone. And it's a calling few are willing to step into. It reminded me of Shackleton's newspaper ad when recruiting and hiring men for his expedition to cross Antarctica: Right image courtesy of John Hyatt http://johnhyattillustration.com SHACKLETON Newspaper ad: "Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success." CONTEXT The book of Jude was written by Jude, who identifies himself as “a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James” (Jude 1). Most scholars believe this means Jude was also a half-brother of Jesus, making him part of Jesus' earthly family (cf. Matthew 13:55). Rather than emphasizing his family connection to Jesus, Jude humbly identifies himself as Christ's servant. He likely wrote the letter sometime before AD 70 to a group of Christians facing the growing threat of false teachers infiltrating the church from within. Jude originally intended to write a positive letter about “the salvation we share,” but felt compelled instead to urge believers to “contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God's holy people” (Jude 3). The danger was not primarily persecution from outside the church, but corruption from inside it. These false teachers distorted God's grace into permission for immorality, rejected God's authority, and influenced others through arrogance, sensuality, and selfish ambition. Jude responds with some of the strongest warning language in the New Testament, drawing repeatedly from Old Testament history and vivid illustrations to remind believers that God takes both truth and holiness seriously. Yet the letter is ultimately framed by hope: believers are loved by God the Father, kept by Jesus Christ, and sustained by God's power. Bottom line: Standing firm means contending for The Faith, rejecting distorted grace, and staying vigilant of both ourselves and others in love and by love. OUTLINE I. Contend for "The Faith" by holding fast to the Truth (1-4) * It's about who we are in Christ. (1-2) * It's about being loved so that we love others. (1-2) * It's the purpose of this letter (3) * It's why this is the purpose of this letter (4) II. Reject the distortion of grace and don't give in to licentious ways * You will be judged * Old Testament examples CONCLUSION ““Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭41‬-‭42‬ ‭NIV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/111/luk.6.41-42.NIV “Because the church here is under a satanic lullaby and I'm falling asleep. Every time I try to wake up, the lullaby goes faster. Let's go back to my country.” According to the testimony, an Iranian Christian couple escaped persecution and moved to a Western country (often retold specifically as America). The husband believed they finally had “the abundant life” — safety, money, comfort, freedom. But after only a short time, the wife became deeply troubled and told him she wanted to return to the Middle East because the spiritual complacency of the Western church was more dangerous to her soul than persecution in Iran.  It appears to come from interviews and testimony connected to the documentary Sheep Among Wolves Volume II and was later repeated on podcasts and blogs, including an interview on  Jennie Allen's podcast/blog. https://www.jennieallen.com/blog/the-underground-church?utm_source=chatgpt.com Pray Questions (Write this down) - grab an index card and pen What is God saying to you right now?

December 26, 2004. Mai Khao Beach, Phuket, Thailand. Christmas holiday. Perfect weather. The Smith family walked along the sand on their first overseas vacation together. Then Tilly noticed something wrong. The water wasn't behaving normally. ""It wasn't calm and it wasn't going in and then out,"" she later recalled. ""It was just coming in and in and in."" The sea had turned frothy—""like you get on a beer,"" she said. ""It was sort of sizzling."" Any other ten-year-old might have thought it strange. Tilly knew exactly what it meant. Two weeks earlier, her geography teacher Andrew Kearney had shown the class footage of the 1946 tsunami that devastated Hawaii. He taught them the warning signs: sea receding unusually far, frothy bubbling water, ocean behaving strangely. Tilly was watching those exact warning signs unfold in front of her. She started screaming at her parents. ""There's going to be a tsunami!"" They didn't believe her. They couldn't see any wave. The sky was clear. The beach was calm. But Tilly wouldn't stop. She became more insistent, more frantic. ""I'm going,"" she finally said. ""I'm definitely going. There is definitely going to be a tsunami."" Her father Colin heard the urgency in her voice. He decided to trust his daughter. By coincidence, a Japanese man nearby overheard Tilly use the word ""tsunami."" He'd just heard news of an earthquake in Sumatra. ""I think your daughter's right,"" he said. Colin alerted hotel staff. They began evacuating immediately. Tilly's mother Penny was one of the last to leave. She had to sprint as the water began rushing in behind her. ""I ran,"" she recalled, ""and then I thought I was going to die."" They made it to the second floor with seconds to spare. Then the wave hit. Thirty feet tall. Everything on the beach—beds, palm trees, debris—was swept into the pool and beyond. ""Even if you hadn't drowned,"" Penny later said, ""you would have been hit by something."" The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killed over 230,000 people across 14 countries. Entire beaches in Phuket were wiped out. But at Mai Khao Beach, not a single person died. Because a ten-year-old girl paid attention in geography class. Tilly was hailed as the ""Angel of the Beach."" She received awards, spoke at the United Nations, met Bill Clinton. Her story is now taught in schools worldwide. Her father Colin still thinks about what could have happened. ""If she hadn't told us, we would have just kept on walking,"" he said. ""I'm convinced we would have died."" Tilly still credits her teacher. ""If it wasn't for Mr. Kearney,"" she told the UN, ""I'd probably be dead and so would my family."" Two weeks. One lesson. One hundred lives. That's the power of education. YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION Contending for the Faith | “How Do We Stand Firm in Truth and Love?” Preacher: Darien Gabriel Series: Contending for the Faith Scripture: Epistle of Jude 1–16 (NIV) Grace Christian Fellowship Grace Christian Fellowship In a culture filled with spiritual confusion, distorted grace, and growing compromise, the book of Jude gives the church a wake-up call. Jude urges believers to “contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God's holy people” (Jude 3). The danger wasn't primarily persecution from outside the church—but corruption from within. False teachers quietly slipped into the church, distorted God's grace into permission for sin, rejected God's authority, and weakened discernment among God's people. In this message, Pastor Darien Gabriel walks through Jude 1–16 and explores what it means to stand firm in both truth and love. Bottom Line Standing firm means contending for the faith, rejecting distorted grace, and staying vigilant in fruit-bearing of both ourselves and others in love and by love. In This Sermon * What it means to “contend for the faith” * Why false teaching is often subtle and deceptive * The danger of spiritual complacency * How grace can be distorted into license for sin * Why vigilance and discernment matter in the church * The examples of Israel, Sodom & Gomorrah, and rebellious angels * How believers can examine themselves faithfully and lovingly * Why truth and love must stay together Key Scriptures * Epistle of Jude 1–16 * Second Epistle to the Corinthians 13:5 * Book of Numbers 14 * Book of Ezekiel 16:49 * First Epistle to the Corinthians 6:9–11 * Gospel of Luke 6:41–42 Opening Illustrations This sermon includes reflections on: * The Two Towers and the corrupting influence of Gríma Wormtongue on King Théoden * Ernest Shackleton's famous Antarctic expedition recruitment ad * Testimonies from persecuted believers who warn against the spiritual complacency of the Western church Jude reminds us that false teaching rarely announces itself openly. It slips in quietly, weakens discernment gradually, and lulls believers into spiritual compromise. But God calls His people to wake up, see clearly, and remain faithful to Jesus Christ.

Le “mystère du troisième homme” est un phénomène troublant, souvent rapporté dans des situations extrêmes : alpinisme, exploration polaire, survie en mer ou en montagne. Il désigne cette impression très forte — presque tangible — qu'une présence invisible accompagne une personne en détresse, comme un guide silencieux qui aide à avancer.L'histoire la plus célèbre est celle de Ernest Shackleton. En 1916, après le naufrage de son navire lors de l'expédition de l'Endurance, il entreprend une traversée désespérée de la Géorgie du Sud avec deux compagnons. Épuisés, affamés, à la limite de leurs forces, ils marchent pendant plus de 30 heures sans pause. Et tous les trois rapporteront la même sensation : ils n'étaient pas seuls. Comme s'il y avait un quatrième homme avec eux, une présence discrète mais rassurante. Shackleton lui-même écrira : “Je savais qu'il y avait une autre personne avec nous.”Ce phénomène n'est pas isolé. Des alpinistes, des naufragés, des survivants d'accidents graves racontent des expériences similaires. Certains décrivent une voix intérieure qui donne des instructions précises. D'autres parlent d'une présence physique, presque perceptible à leurs côtés.D'un point de vue scientifique, plusieurs hypothèses existent. La plus probable est neurologique. Dans des conditions extrêmes — fatigue intense, isolement, stress, manque de sommeil, hypothermie — le cerveau peut se dérégler. Certaines zones impliquées dans la perception du corps et de l'espace, notamment au niveau du cortex temporo-pariétal, peuvent créer une dissociation. Résultat : le cerveau “projette” une présence extérieure… qui est en réalité une construction interne.Mais ce qui intrigue, c'est que cette présence est presque toujours bienveillante. Elle rassure, guide, encourage. Comme si le cerveau, confronté à une situation de survie, activait une sorte de mécanisme de secours psychologique.D'un point de vue évolutif, cela pourrait être une stratégie adaptative. Dans un environnement hostile, maintenir la motivation et la lucidité peut faire la différence entre la vie et la mort. Créer l'illusion d'un compagnon pourrait aider à continuer, à prendre de meilleures décisions, à ne pas céder à la panique.Autrement dit, ce “troisième homme” ne serait pas une hallucination au sens pathologique, mais plutôt un outil du cerveau pour survivre.Aujourd'hui encore, le mystère fascine. Car même si la science propose des explications, l'intensité de ces témoignages laisse une impression étrange : dans les moments les plus critiques, notre esprit semble capable de créer… quelqu'un pour nous sauver.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down President Trump's national address on the war with Iran, offering unscripted analysis on what was said, what was true, and what may come next as the conflict enters a critical phase. He walks through Trump's claims of military success, including the destruction of Iran's navy, air force, and much of its missile and drone capabilities, while questioning the long-term strategy around Iran's nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz. Bryan also explains what he sees as a high-risk "escalate to de-escalate" approach, where the U.S. pressures Europe and Gulf nations to step up or face the consequences, warning that "we've got two or three weeks of war yet to go… with more market turbulence" ahead. Then, Bryan pivots to space and explains why NASA's Artemis II mission is about far more than returning to the moon. At the center is the Shackleton crater, a resource-rich location that could serve as a launch point for Mars and a strategic stronghold in a growing space race with China. With Beijing refusing to sign international agreements and potentially eyeing control of the region, Bryan outlines the stakes, including the possibility of space-based weapons that could impact security here on Earth.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Iran speech analysis 2026, Strait of Hormuz crisis oil markets, Iran war escalation timeline US strategy, Artemis II mission NASA moon race China, Shackleton crater lunar base importance, space race US vs China 2026, space-based weapons satellite threat China, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

Artie Ahier developed a fascination with all things polar after reading Endurance at age 13. The harrowing story of Shackleton's Antarctic misadventure so gripped young Artie that he spent his whole life dreaming of one day experiencing that desolate, people-less land. Raised in his family's restaurant in a small New Brunswick town on Canada's Restigouche River, Artie always found happiness in nature on the water. His family didn't travel much, so his original seed of exploring the big world was sown in his best friend's living room reading National Geographic. By a series of happy accidents, Artie made his way into the hospitality business and married a chef. Their life  became one big, glorious adventure. Together, they skippered motor yachts through Florida and the Caribbean, ran hotels and a luxury guest Ranch in the remote Big Bend of Texas and opened an award-winning restaurant on Vancouver Island, where Artie has lived since 2000. Their restaurant, SoBo (Sophisticated Bohemian) was named a Zagat top 100 restaurant in Canada in 2007. For Artie, the theme was always the same, take great care of the guests and show them what natural treasures abound ... whether serving "grassroots gourmet" cuisine or leading bird, bat and nature walks. Artie's life took a hard turn when he woke up at 50 and realized he just wasn't happy. His marriage had run its course and the restaurant business had burned him out. "I have a love of isolation in nature. The ocean and coastline of the world is my mistress," he mused. This pull toward nature and the water brought him back to skippering boats on whale, bear and bird watching tours in British Columbia, as he said goodbye to his marriage and the restaurant world. Then a phone call took him back to his childhood dream - an opportunity to guide nature tours and Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) expeditions in Antarctica. Artie didn't think twice. In 2017, just past fifty, he made his fantasy reality and joined the expedition leadership with renowned expedition cruise company Quark. Artie has been guiding in the pristine waters of the Arctic and Antarctica ever since. He spent over 200 days in the Arctic this past year, reveling as he shares his passion for the outdoors with others, helping them (including your host Stu and his family) better understand his favorite mystical frozen wilderness landscape. Artie is ecstatic to now live a life surrounded by nature on an almost daily basis. When not chasing birds he can be found on his SUP, listening to music and enjoying great food and wine, but not generally at the same time.Have a Swan Dive to share?

Send a textIn this episode of Tuesday Tea, Dominica sits down for a thoughtful conversation with Shackleton group Founder, Ed Gillcrist, about leadership, governance, and what really happens inside organizations once strategy meets reality. Many organizations spend enormous energy building plans, structures, and org charts. But as companies grow and decisions become more complex, the way things actually operate often looks very different from what is written on paper.This conversation explores where leadership, governance, and execution intersect- and what leaders need to understand when decision-making becomes distributed across teams, systems, and increasingly, intelligent technologies.Together, they discuss:• Why organizational charts rarely reflect how decisions are truly made • The difference between leadership, management, and governance • How execution breaks down even in highly capable organizations • What leaders often miss when responsibility becomes unclear • Why thoughtful governance is becoming more important in the age of AIAs technology accelerates and organizations adopt more automated tools and data-driven systems, the question of who ultimately owns decisions becomes more important than ever.This episode is a conversation about responsibility, stewardship, and the evolving role of leadership in complex organizations.Connect with Ed: LinkedInShackleton group If you've been following Dominica's recent exploration into AI governance and leadership in the age of intelligent systems, this discussion offers valuable perspective.Continue the ConversationDominica is also writing about these topics in more depth on Substack.You can join the conversation at: The Governance Era Support the showConnect with Dominica: https://www.instagram.com/dominicalumazar/Interested in being a guest on the show? https://sweetdmarketing.com/tuesday-tea-podcast/This episode is sponsored by Rhythm & Roast Coffee Co.

Aujourd'hui, je reçois Philippe d'Ornano.Sans doute ignorez vous que Sisley est une entreprise française de plus de 4500 collaborateurs, une marque présente dans plus de 110 pays, avec des produits adulés de ses consommatrices… Rassurez-vous votre ignorance ne m'étonne pas, j'étais comme vous il y a quelques mois.

The singular percussionist turns inward for a rare solo excursion. Valentina Magaletti at the drums is a picture of freedom: laughing, loose-limbed, entirely absorbed. For RA.1029, the London-based percussionist channels that instinct into a rare solo outing—a personal excursion through her musical archive. The atmosphere moves as freely as she plays, shifting from ominous and claustrophobic passages to contemplative field recordings. Collaboration is one of the central ways she continually reinvents herself, whether it be spiritual dub excursions with Shackleton and Holy Tongue, or post-punk melancholia with Moin. As she told The Guardian in 2024, "dialogue is more interesting than monologue." Take her work with Princípe associate Nídia, in which she used Angolan kuduro as a springboard for new acoustic visions of dance music. But Magaletti is also a solo artist in her own right, and RA.1029 is the sound of her own monologue. The 90-minute mix sees her roving through her personal archive, from wild drum excursions and Midwestern industrial to frenetic free jazz, eerie gqom and Ukrainian electro. It captures, she says, her current inner state, a feeling of being "suspended between introspection and anticipation." Fitting, then, for a groundbreaking artist who thrives in the spaces in between.
