Vaping--Why and How I Quit. Featuring Dr. Kyle Jones Today we feature a beloved friend and esteemed colleague, Dr. Kyle Jones who will talk to us how he escaped from his vaping addiction. Kyle is a clinical psychologist in private practice, now residing in Los Angeles. However, he works virtually throughout California. He co-leads the OCD Consultation Group, a monthly consultation group for clinicians wanting to improve their competence in treating OCD. He also servs on the adjunct faculty at Palo Alto University where he teaches in the clinical psychology masters and PhD programs. He's recently joined the alumni council in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California, Santa Barbara. This is the fourth in our recent series on TEAM CBT for habits and addictions (431, Screen Addictions with Brandon Vance; 437, Porn Addiction with Thai An Truong; 438, Overcoming Habits & Addictions with Jill Leavitt). We want to remind you about an awesome virtual workshop on habits and addictions that Dr. Jill Levitt and I will be presenting on March 28th. We will feature powerful new paradoxical techniques that will blow your socks off. It will be from 8:30 to 4:30 and you will earn 7 CE credits while having fun and learning how to heal yourself AND you patients. Check it out! Registration and More Information Here! Today, Kyle gave a brief history of vaping, which entered the scene around 2010, and described the experience as pleasurable and addictive. An estimated 3 million teens are addicted, and the flavored versions are quite tasty, but banned in California. He described his first exposure to smoking when he was 19, and living in Paris. It was “the” thing to do at that time, but he eventually gave it up, but later began to take a hit or two of vaping at a party, and then purchased his own vaping device in 2023. “Shamefully, he says, I tried to hide it from my partner and from other people, and I would vape in the bathroom.” He vaped for most of 2024, but explains that eventually, it got out of hand. At New Year's 2025, he listed the advantages versus the disadvantages of vaping, and made the decision to give it up. This was difficult because of the withdrawal effects that lasted for several weeks, including intense cravings, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, irritability, anxiety, and the urge to overeat. The TEAM CBT technique that helped the most was HAL, the Habit and Addiction Log, and we demonstrated the Devil's Advocate Technique. Rhonda and David played the role of the Tempting Thoughts and Kyle bravely battle back. Here's the list of thoughts: 1. I'm driving, so I can just vape in the car. 2. Here's a chance for a nice break. I can vape right now! 3. I can take another hit, no problem! I'll just get a little feeling of pleasure. 4. I need It tastes sooo gooood! We translated the “I” statements into “you” statements to maximize the temptation, and were as seductive as possible. But no matter how hard we tried to tempt Kyle, he won “huge” and hit it out of the park. We discussed Relapse Prevention, and Kyle described being at a party on Friday where some people were vaping and sharing the vape. We also described and illustrated the powerful Triple Paradox, which works paradoxically. I have personally trained Kyle in TEAM CBT, along with many other fine TEAM teachers, and he was always brilliant, compassionate and extremely effective in his therapy work. He works with the full spectrum of mood and anxiety disorders, and has a bit of a specialty in the treatment of OCD. Thanks for listening today!

Is Sasquatch going to die a fiery death? Most likely. Are migrants eating park ducks and family pets in Ohio? We investigate! Will politicians use the same healthcare as us? The answer is no. Do we read from the Mailbag? Yes!Do we have more listeners than CNN? Probably.A retired General lying for the neo-marxists? Shamefully, yes.This and much more on this weeks show!
Donald Trump inspired many Americans by continuing to show strength...after the incident that happened at his campaign rally in Pennsylvania Saturday. However...some at CNN weren't supportive of Donald Trump show of strength. We reveal and react to a CNN segment with Jamie Gangel...where Jamie Gangel criticizes Donald Trump response to his attack. We discuss the strength that America has been missing...under the administration of President Joe Biden. We also discuss other reactions from the woke media to Donald Trump...and explain why this is the reason the mainstream media is losing influence.
Just when many thought Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets were dead, they gave an Undertaker rise from the coffin to snatch home court back from the T'Wolves. Or, is it “road court advantage” back to Anthony Edwards and company? Will the Pacers continue to keep their momentum against the Knicks, or will getting blown out in Game 4 actually help Jalen Brunson's squad? 3-1 Mavs or will the Thunder even the series 2-2? Celtics of current ready to put away the Cavs for good, while Celtic of past Paul Pierce had another very Black media moment in public. And how pathetic it is for Drake to try and save face as Kendrick's “Not Like Us” is already the song of the summer for 2024. OVERALL is here to bless another start to your week with Andrew, Ralph Mentor Jonathan Jordan, Vince Saiz, Lamar Edwards and Jr from Houston.

GUEST OVERVIEW: Bobbie Anne Cox is a New York civil rights attorney, and a Fellow at the Brownstone Institute. She has been practicing law for 25 years. Formerly with a large, international law firm, Attorney Cox is now the principal at Cox Lawyers, PLLC. She has extensive experience suing government entities on behalf of her clients, and she is best known for her historic victory against New York Governor Kathy Hochul and the NYS Department of Health, striking down their unconstitutional "Isolation and Quarantine Procedures" regulation. In so doing, Attorney Cox has saved millions of New Yorkers from suffering the probable effects of illegal forced quarantines by a tyrannical State government that is truly out of control. Shamefully, Governor Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James appealed that decision. Attorney Cox is now bringing the case to the highest court in New York, the Court of Appeals, where she will fight to uphold her victory over unconstitutional forced quarantines and to preserve the sacred Separation of Powers doctrine that is the cornerstone of our society.

Before we even talk about lego for adults, just go on and say it…. “Why don't we just grow up?” Fine. Yes, I know. But all the other grown ups are doing it! Or so we have read.Personally, neither Steph nor I can name a single friend that claims Lego as their hobby. But maybe there's more of them than you think? Shamefully interlocking blocks behind closed doors at home, hoping not to be discovered for the “Kidult” that they are.Contrary to that, there is also ‘Lego Masters' - an international reality TV show where Lego enthusiasts (AKA, AFOLs - Adult Fans of Lego) compete to create different designs.It's like the “Bake-Off of Lego”. And living proof that there are many adults out there, who fuc*ing love a birra Lego. Wha?!As per usual, in this episode, we're addressing the “why would you bother with this” side of things, with a little bit of research behind Lego for Adults, along with a bullsh*t game thrown in for good measure. Whether this is something you should bother doing is something we'll address next week, when we've had a chance to play around with Lego and knock each other's blocks off. So listen in and let us know what you think, you big child.Liked this episode or have a suggestion for something we should bother doing? We'd love your review! Want to get in contact?

Air – it's our most basic need. It's far more vital than water, food, or medicine. People can survive just minutes without its most important component: oxygen. But in much of the world, people struggling to breathe lack access to medical oxygen, a treatment that makes the difference between life and death. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the problem and made it exponentially worse. “I will never forget the images,” Leith Greenslade, coordinator of the Every Breath Counts coalition, tells us on the One World, One Health podcast. “Patients suffocating to death as hospitals ran out of oxygen.” A team at the University of Washington estimates that 25 million people die every year of both acute and chronic conditions that need treatment with medical oxygen. “It's unclear exactly how many of the estimated seven million COVID-19 deaths could have been prevented with adequate supplies of medical oxygen, but a study of COVID-19 deaths in African intensive care units found that half of patients died without ever receiving it,” Greenslade and the One Health Trust's Ramanan Laxminarayan wrote in a recent article. “Shamefully, world leaders have turned a blind eye to the lack of access to medical oxygen.” Listen as Leith explains the scope of the problem and the possible solutions in this episode of One World, One Health.

Ben Watson and Peter Burns were two of the analysts hosting the halftime show on SEC Network this past weekend. During halftime of the game between Florida and Vanderbilt...Peter Burns made a slight towards Ben Watson and his wife. Ben Watson appeared visibly upset by the remark...and wasn't onset when ESPN returned from break. But according to ESPN...all of this was a pre-planned sketch. We reveal and react to Peter Burns joke...and the explanation from ESPN. We discuss how this is the reason trust in the mainstream media is at record lows. We also explain how ESPN should've handled this situation.

THE THESIS: The people who run Joe Biden are showing everyone he is irrelevant to them. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: We have a senile Figurehead who babbles about issuing policy statements his supposed emplyees ignore and overrule. The Bible tells us the story of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, who has driven by God into the fields where he grazed on grass like a cow for many years. God Humbles Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 4) THE NEWS & COMMENT: The State of collapse in our fallen world: Here is a person who has [her] job because [she] somehow knows [she] is a woman, [she] identifies as black and is sexually attracted to [other] women; this person gets to go on TV and overrule the “President” for whom [she] works. [AUDIO] - WH @PressSec says Biden didn't actually mean the Covid pandemic is over despite saying it: "Just to step back for a second, when he made those comments, he was walking through the Detroit car show, the halls of the Detroit car show, he was looking around." This is hard an isolated incident. The Figurehead is of no consequence to the people who run the Country. Do Biden's words even matter anymore? As his staff once again rushes in to clarify, it isn't clear who's running the country On the other end of the spectrum is Ron DeSantis. He is making The Party live in the world they are trying to create for us and their response are both hilarious and useful. If God affords DeSantis the opportunity to debate the Figurehead, the Governor will be able to show the emptiness of the Party's promises to the people. [AUDIO] - WATCH: Gov. DeSantis after Rep. Jeffries compared him to a human trafficker: “When Biden is flying these people all over the fruited plain in the middle of the night, I didn't hear a peep out of those people!” The next thing Governor DeSantis should do is get copies of the pornographic books The Partry is shoving down the throats of parents and kids and have them always on hand to show to cameras when he is attacked as a book banner. [AUDIO] - CNN's Jake Tapper helps PEN America touts its study of "book bans" in schools because the conservatives don't like LGBTQ/CRT themes. But guess what? CNN won't put the actual graphic images of oral sex et cetera from books on screen so people can understand the fuss. Curating books is not banning. THIS is banning “GaysAgainstGrooming”: BREAKING: After being banned by @PayPal and @Venmo less than 24 hours ago, We have JUST been banned by @Google! Big tech is coordinating a massive attack on our organization for trying to protect children. THIS IS INSANE. In case you have friends who have been conned into the belief that this “sex-ed” is about “good touch” and “bad touch”, show them this: [VIDEO] - A teacher friend and I looked through some of the “sex-ed” curriculum in the separate Country of Washington. Watch and see what we discovered. WARNING: Language, images https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBrS4Dx8wtI THE LISTENERS: Edward I never watch Trump TV shows , I thought he was a crude inarticulate speaker and a number one A hole. I voted for him twice and his policies worked. The only way to explain it; is my what I learned in my 20 years in the Marine Corps: Jerks, nasty , uncouth people win wars . The good marines were mainly jerks. As General Chesty Puller said. “ Until you served brig time your not a true marine”. And during an inspection at Camp Pendleton .” I had enough of this, take me to brig where the real marines are”. All Chesty did was earn 6 Navy Crosses the second highest combat award. Now in 2022 I wish Donald Trump would just go away and play golf. He is to old. 75 to me is terminal for public office. I am 89. —- —- Janine: "Marketing with Terror"--Excellent points in both hours of the show. They brought to mind how much I try to get generations younger than mine to watch "Scrooged". The opening when Bill Murray's character runs his ad for the Christmas show. It shows the horror and speaks in frightful tones and sounds of Acid Rain, Drug Addiction, International terrorism, Freeway killers. Maybe Obama is actually consulting with Bill? Fear isn't new. And it works! Got George HW Bush, establishment member, in the White House. --- --- --- --- Paul: I don't understand why this comparison isn't being made.

I beg your forgiveness. I get confused when you talk about God, you talk about the trinity yet you separate them as different and it is so frustrating to where I want to find another podcast. I dont want to though, you try so hard and I have to respect that, so I need to share with you what The Spirit is saying to me. First I dont agree with the term trinity, it is a word that Catholics used to describe God. I do not agree with anything Catholics teach. For instance, the bible says not to call any man father, it also tells us not to bow to any graven image, and most important, go before Jesus to repent of sins and nothing about moving beads in your hand praying to Mother Mary. I believe in God The Spirit, and God The Flesh. If God is all Spirit, then it makes sense that The Holy Spirit is all God, and Jesus in the flesh is all God, and Spirit. In Roman times they believed in a whole mess o gods, these gods had children called demi gods. How do you explain to those who have such beliefs to where it makes sense. God was born of the flesh and had all the power of Himself. There is only one God, His name is Jesus and He has adopted us into His family. We are His children, like Israel, He is also our brother, like Israel He brought them out of Egypt, now He brings us out of bondage from an everlasting fire. By the way satan does not control anything in Hell. Hell is his punishment. Satan controls the Earth now, I am so amazed at all who follow him, even in the churches. So many strong healthy men bowing down to mandates. You think of Shadrack, Meshack, and Abednigo. ( im to tired to look up spelling) There were a lot of Israelites in the crowd of those bowing to the kings nebbys image for fear of burning, church today is no different. Cowards. --- ---- ---- Tracy Todd!!! I tend to be long winded so I will do my very best to keep it short. Ha! 1. I did the 2 rounds at McD's!!!! Shamefully on my way home from small group (yikes) it was a long way from home. I swear I might have done it 3 times!!!! First in Graham, then Sumner and finally Auburn. Oh so scary.

BAM! Corporate Christmas presents done!!!! I'm just saying. Love you brother. PS. Auburn Green River basin is infested with those who refuse to work and get Riverfront RV/Camping for free while KC officials do nothing except spend our tax dollars. Can't wait until God says it's ok to leave the separate country of Washington. - Right girl on the wrong coast!!! --- --- --- --- Tom Want to grow your show?? Todd I love you but todays show made want to cry. Yes you have great ideas but listening to you sometimes is like the joke of the coach that has a great half time speech and then the door to the field is locked. Where is the tea party? Where is the third party. Where is the list of companies that eschew woke and want to start the parallel economy?? Use your power and vast influence to let us all help. Publish and talk about non woke alternatives. Not just your sponsors. I would love to have a list of woke companies that we should all avoid. If you made such a list it would something all your listeners could get behind. Many would share your list and share your show. Secondly where is the tea party. All us “ patriots” are putting all our eggs in the Trump basket. But he is the only one. Where will america be if they finally get to trump. We all know that the republicans are worthless and feckless , but what and where is our alternative?? Use your power and influence to make and get a woke list generated . Talk about it and your listeners will share it with their friends. Talk about a third party and your listeners will share your ideas with their friends. Yes you have great ideas of what needs to be done but as my dad always said “ the steam that blows the whistle, never turns the wheel” . Please use your resources and influence to help us make the needed changes. Keep up the good work, Good job, Tom in Ellensburg.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Shamefully, Ulland and Jo make good on a more than a year-old request. A fellow traveler posted a comment to discuss suicide, and to approach from the perspective of an educator.

On 7 July 2022 Boris Johnson announced he would resign as Prime Minister. Despite surviving a series of scandals, Covid-19 and a parliamentary no-confidence vote, Westminster's “greased piglet” was finally undone by the alleged sexual improprieties of his chief whip, Christopher Pincher, and the mass resignation of his cabinet.For many, the mystery was that such a policy-light, contradiction-heavy leadership had lasted so long. But in this dazzling satirical essay, the novelist Ed Docx shows us exactly how Johnson got away with it for so long – by playing the clown, a sustained performance he charts through four acts of increasing complexity. First, his breakthrough show, “Mayor”; his widely celebrated follow-up, “Brexit: the Referendum”; the underrated international piece, “Foreign Secretary”; and his most ambitious artistic work, “Prime Minister”, featuring “the largest cast of supporting clowns he had ever used. Those he called ‘ethics advisers' were custard-pied one after another as they came by on a merry-go-round featuring characters from Peppa Pig. Those he called ‘donors' showered the stage with money.”Both wildly funny and deeply revealing, Docx captures the antics and emptiness of the Johnson premiership – as well as the public's and politicians' willingness to applaud, or at least accommodate, this “perfect ambassador of meaninglessness”. When did the booing start? Shamefully late, it turns out. This article originally appeared on the newstatesman.com on 13 July, and in the 15-21 June edition of the magazine.

This week I'm talking to Nafeesa Arshad, founder of Goodness Gracious Grief.I connected with Nafeesa over a year ago and I'm so pleased to finally be bringing you this episode. Shamefully for me, this is the first episode dedicated to sibling loss and it will certainly not be the last. Nafeesa lost her trail blazing sister, Saima Thompson back in the middle of the pandemic in 2020. In this episode we cover the silence around losing a sibling, what it's like grieving for someone who was well known & loved by many and navigating a very public display of mourning and we answer some of YOUR questions that you wrote in for Nafeesa where she shares some of her delicious wisdom and words.It's a truly intricate and interesting listen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved recording it!Nafeesa, thank you for sharing Saima with me. Your sister paved ways for many and you are too in your own right. Stay in your magic.Find Nafeesa and keep an eye out for her many fantastic events throughout this next year over at @goodnessgraciousgrief on IG.Big love always,Amber xxxJoin the conversation & community on...Instagram - @thegriefgangpodcastTwitter- @thegriefgangFacebook- The Grief GangIntro and outro music produced by Goodgoodgood Media.Editing by Ross Ramsey-Golding.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-grief-gang.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in Vancouver Monday afternoon to help kick off the official opening of the Women Deliver 2019 global conference, a four-day summit described as "the world's largest conference on gender equality and the health, rights, and well-being of girls and women."Trudeau was introduced by Katja Iversen, president of Women Deliver, as a "fellow feminist.""Progress can backslide. We're seeing it happen. Gender equality is under attack. I can only imagine how hard it is to be a feminist on the front-lines," Trudeau said.Trudeau, who describes himself as a feminist, formed Canada's 1st gender balanced cabinet in 2015. He's recently had to defend those credentials after ejecting Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott from the Liberal caucus amid turmoil over the government's handling of the SNC-Lavalin case.As he addressed the crowd on Monday, Trudeau talked about the role of social media in spreading "abhorrent" views and pushing them into the public arena."Individuals and interest groups are trying to roll back women's rights, and politicians are giving into the pressure, shamefully campaigning to undo women's hard won victories," he said.Trouver l'autre mystérieuxL'amour est un mystère pour ceux qui le vivent, un mystère pour ceux qui le regardent. Nous constatons, mais nous ne comprenons pas. Pourquoi ? Parce que ce qui nous lie à l'autre est inexplicable. Aimer vraiment, c'est aller vers quelqu'un, non pas seulement pour son image (sa beauté, sa ressemblance avec tel ou tel), ni pour ce qu'il symbolise (un père, une mère, le pouvoir, l'argent), mais pour son secret. Ce secret que nous ne savons pas nommer, et qui va rencontrer le nôtre : un manque ressenti depuis l'enfance, une souffrance singulière, indéfinissable. « L'amour s'adresse à notre part d'inconnu, explique le psychanalyste Patrick Lambouley.☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆https://linktr.ee/jacksonlibon---------------------------------------------------#facebook #instagram #amour #couple #couplegoals #famille #relation #doudou #youtube #twitter #tiktok #love #reeĺs #shorts #instagood #follow #like #ouy #oyu #babyshark #lilnasx #girl #happybirthday #movie #olive #garden #menu #deviance #autotrader #trading #khan #academy #carter #carguru #ancestry #accords #abc #news #bts #cbs #huru bluebook #socialmedia #whatsapp #music #google #photography #memes #marketing #india #followforfollowback #likeforlikes #a #insta #fashion #k #trending #digitalmarketing #covid #o #snapchat #socialmediamarketing #bhfyp

HEADLINE: New Zealand's Lockdown Prime Minister Throws In the Towel by Reed Spaulding IV, MD As effortlessly as flipping a light switch, 5 million people were instantly confined to quarters until further notice. And after 8 weeks of a less intense (level 3) lockdown in Auckland, the populace has grown restless, as one would predict. The truth, which I desperately hope the entire world will finally accept, is that a so-called “zero COVID” strategy eventually demands that the subjects in the experiment give up everything for nothing. They give up their jobs, their family gatherings, their friends, the happy parts of life, essentially … all for a goal that cannot be accomplished. If human life is to be reduced to that of an animal in a cage, then the intended public health goal better at least damned well be possible. With COVID, in this context, it's not. And to her credit, Jacinda Ardern, one of the last hold-outs on “zero-COVID” has apparently come to that conclusion. Periodic lockdown policies have plagued the countries of the world since this all started, to varying degrees. Shamefully, we even allowed this type of human rights abuse to occur in our own beloved United States during the early days of the pandemic. Never again I say! And as the last few hold-outs in the world give up on their control-fantasy of zero COVID, we simply can never let them forget how epically they failed this reality test.

Shamefully, I got the rezoning stuff wrong yesterday.
Just the three of us this week as we recover from the trip to Dave Shrimpton's house. This was meant to be more of an email show but there was really only one we could read out and that was just a brilliant one from Pakistan based visual artist Jahanzeb Haroon. Things we chatted about on the show: Andrew kicked off the discussion with “what we've all been up to”. Shamefully but rationally explained, no LF work from him for ages. The darkroom extension has been an all consuming project and with the first paying workshop customer coming in August the pressure has been on to at least get it functional, and it is now. Returning from a holiday in Northumberland Andrew has a number of rolls of fil m to develop including 4 or 5 127 films, some HP5 and a roll of expired Astia that he exposed in his Toyo 45a with the 6x17 back. The question goes begging “do we or should we take large format gear on a family holiday”? Another reason for not exposing too much LF film recently is the need to nail down rotary processing in his Jobo CPE2 or the new variable speed rotating base recently received from Student Photo Store on ebay. Settling down to PyrocatHD and ID111+1 will reduce the creative choices, and darkroom is needed to play around. Earlier in the year Mat Marrash posted a video all about determining your own personal film speed and “normal” developing time using a Stouffer TP45 step wedge, after years of doing this by trial and error Andrew has taken the plunge and ordered a step wedge. Mat's video and a link to the Stouffer site below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN-LM1lM8Kg&t=1005s https://stouffer.net/Photo.htm#:~:text=Stouffer%20Craftsmanship%20Transmission%20Projection%20%28TP%29%20Step%20Wedges%20are,concept%20used%20when%20approaching%20the%20art%20of%20photography. Both Erik and Simon have been up to way more exciting things, actually exposing and playing around with LF film and paper. Erik has been deep diving into lens building with Bronica ETRS lenses and more (see Erik's IG site below). Erik posted into the LFPP Facebook group ongoing work with Faux Orotones with some lovely results. The Orotone process was made famous by Edward Curtis and more info can be found on line (OK Wikipedia to the rescue) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orotone Erik is looking for a similar effect using gold spray paint and it works really well. Simon has been busy using his Chroma camera both in and out of the studio with some expired velvia and, in the 6 towns studio, some Harman Direct Positive paper. We have a chat about the challenges of using HDP and its limited tonal range (high contrast). The Ilford PDF data sheet and a recent Ilford video presented by Rachel Brewster-Wright are very helpful if you are thinking of using this great paper for the first time. https://www.ilfordphoto.com/harman-direct-positive-paper-sheets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFUSiRwfOHs On the subject of film speed testing friend of the show Billy Sanford recently appeared on the Sunny 16 presents show and talked about his experience with a Richard Pickup approach to film speed testing – he actually cited our LFPP interview with Richard as inspiration. https://sunny16presents.podbean.com/e/on-location-the-goldilocks-negative-with-billy-sanford/ LFPP listener and FB member Jahenzeb Haroon sent in a lovely email talking all about analogue photography in Pakistan, it's a great email and do check out Jahenzeb's work which he produces very much against the odds.

I am standing along the banks of the Colorado River. The sun is rising above the horizon turning the speckled clouds across the sky a fusion of pinks, oranges, and purples. I am standing in soft sand, the kind that billows up into my face at the slightest movement. I am holding two 5 gallon buckets. I am listening to Joe (name has been changed), a Native American of the Quechan Tribe, on whose land we are standing as he explained that several months ago over 200 youth from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints helped plant hundreds of indigenous trees all along the river to help beautify and preserve the land. The challenge was that now that summer was approaching and temperatures can rise to nearly 120 Fahrenheit, there was concern about the trees getting enough water. If they could make it through this season, chances would be that the roots would be deep enough by next year for the trees to survive. But for now, there was a need to get water from the river to each of the trees. And that's why I am holding two 5 gallon buckets. Joe is showing us how to reach the buckets into the river and pull them out without falling in. We are then to carry the buckets of water to the trees, some of which are almost an acre away from the river. Joe also suggested that we talk to the trees as we are giving them water. “They are living things,” he said. “Encourage them with kind words. Cheer them on.” Shamefully, I rolled my eyes. I was here at the request of my wife and had about ten other things that I thought I could be doing on a Saturday morning besides carrying water to trees. But I am not one to complain… out loud anyway. So, I dipped my buckets in the river and started to walk. The water splashed all over my pants and shoes getting them all muddy. My arms started to ache as I carried the buckets of water nearly 50 yards to the farthest tree. I thought to myself, “There has got to be a better way of doing this.” and then my ethnocentrism kicked in. I started imagining how we could dig lines for a sprinkler system or hire a big water truck to drive along the trees spraying water. But then I noticed some young men laughing and singing as they carried their buckets of water to the trees. They had smiles on their faces. I did not. Immediately, I recognized that my shadows were out. The impotent one saying: This is too hard. Why are we doing this anyway? It's not going to make much of a difference. The trees are probably going to die anyway. This is so dumb. The Rebel: You could be doing something else right now. You could be mowing your own lawn or doing the laundry. I don't know why you are doing this. The Judge: You think you know better don't you. You think you know how to do everything better. Look at those young men having a good time. Why aren't you smiling? Photo by Mathias P.R. Reding on UnsplashAs I carried the water, the louder they got. The more the water splashed on my shoes creating sand into muddy cement that weighed down my feet, the louder they got. And then I arrived at the tree. Calling it a tree was being generous. It was really just a twig sticking out of the ground. And it needed me. It needed what I had to offer — right now. And so I poured the first bucket of water out into the hollowed-out area around the tree. And then I poured the second. And then I heard something that I realized were words coming out of my mouth. “Hey, little tree. I have some water for you. I believe in you little tree. You have what it takes. By this time next year, you will have grown so much. You will have grown branches and will be able to provide shade. You will provide food and shelter for animals and birds. Those who wander here will see your beauty and how you contribute to the beauty of this entire area. You can do it, little tree. I love you.” And I found myself smiling as I returned to the river to fill my buckets with more water. https://medium.com/@t.love.manofgod/3f1911f3ca4f What are the lessons you draw from this parable?

There were two choices for what to do for episode 99 - hockey or female spies, so we chose the latter. To talk about Agent 99, Mrs. Peel, April Danger and lots others, we're happy to welcome back to the pod John Champion (@DVDGeeks) from the Mission Log Podcast amongst other shows. We start, of course, with Agent 99 herself, Barbara Feldon and Get Smart, including the start of the show, her role as straight woman/love interest, the evolution of the show , the 90s Fox sequel/revival and the Numb Bomb movie which noticably did not have Feldon in the cast. Feldon's appearonce on the Man from UNCLE led us into discussing The Girl From UNCLE, the one-season spiin-off starring Stefanie Powers. This segues nicely into a chat about the number one female TV spy, Mrs. Peel, played by Diana Rigg on the Avengers. We talk about what made her so special and tallk about some memorable episodes. Naturally, this brings us to James Bond, where we start with the whole notion of “the Bond Girl,” and how the term has outlived its usefulness in 2021. We discuss our favorite from the movies, whether they were leading ladies or dastardly femme fatales. And that includes some of the lesser-known characters over the years, not just the obvious ones. (editor's note: Shamefully, we forgot to discuss Barbara Bain and Mission: Impossible. My apologies) We end the show with some brief Star Trek talk. Mission Log recently reviews the Deep Space Nine episode “Far Beyond the Stars,” so we discuss how that episode still holds up 30 years later. There's also some brief chat about season two of Star Trek Picard and the new Roddenberry podcast “Sci Fi 5.:” As we mentioned on the show, episode 100 is next and hopefully we will be having someone as a very special, after literally years of them asking to do the show. Tune in next time to see if they are here.

When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!” (John 19:5) There is a section of the Athanasian Creed that reads, “It is furthermore necessary for eternal salvation truly to believe that our Lord Jesus Christ also took on human flesh.” Yes, Jesus was truly God; he was also truly a man. He was completely divine, and he was completely human. As he lived his years on this earth, he did not make full and constant use of his divine power. The apostle Paul explained it this way in his letter to the Philippian congregation: And being found in appearance as a man, [Jesus] humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!(2:8). “Humbled.” Wow, what an understatement! God himself allowed humans to curse him and flog him and mock him and spit on him and kill him. All of this was “necessary for salvation.” Jesus had to be a human to redeem human beings. Jesus had to die—even though he had done nothing to deserve death—to be the perfect sacrifice for our sin. Pilate said, “Here is the man!” What did they see? They saw a joke—a “fake king,” with a pretend royal robe and a bogus crown made of spikey vines. They saw a sad and lonely man who was bruised and bloodied. What did they say when they saw him? “Crucify! Crucify!” That’s how much they despised Jesus. Sadly, that’s how much they hated the very Savior sent from heaven. They couldn’t see him for who he really was. Shamefully, humans continue to curse and mock and spit on God every time we say we don’t care about his Word. We would rather shape God to our desires than conform to his will. That is what makes the account of Jesus’ suffering and death so incredible. He endured genuine emotional and physical torture in order to bear the punishment that we deserved. A “great exchange” indeed! The hymn “O Sacred Head, Now Wounded” creates an unforgettable picture of the Holy Week scene. How vividly it captures the injustice of it all! It was the intention of the writer to present the passion in all its perverse reality—the God-man Jesus being abused by his very creation. But these poignant verses are not the account of an excessively sentimental drama. The hymn looks behind and beyond what we see. Hear the expressions of glory despite the gore. Faith grasps the necessity of what happened. Penitent sinners confess that the suffering and the cross were indeed our “rightful lot.” Then believers implore, “But take away my anguish by virtue of your own!” And, with the cross in sight, proclaim, “Who dies in faith dies well!” Dearest Jesus, we are so very conscious of our own sin and shame. You endured suffering beyond imagination because of us. Forgive us in your mercy and strengthen us to live in faith and love. Amen. Rev. Paul Koelpin serves Martin Luther College as a professor of history and theology.
Episode Notes ["Maintain(Makaih.com)," by Makaih Beats, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0] ["Maintain(Makaih.com)," by Makaih Beats, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0] L: Hi, I'm Lami Zhang. V: This is Victoria Benefield. L: And welcome to Subtitled, a podcast where two fake film students take a look at popular TV shows and movies. Although I am no longer a film student, I have dropped my minor, and I am picking up art history. V: Whoo! Exciting! L: Yeah, which is a possibly even more pretentious minor than Film and Media Studies. V: I don't know. I feel like based on the length of the title of it, Film and Media Studies is really obnoxious. Like I feel embarrassed when I introduce myself with a Film and Media studies minor. Sometimes I have to shorten it to film studies to sound slightly less ridiculous. L: Alright, so today we're going to talk about our 2020 favorites and least favorites for TV shows and movies. Because we have a lot of opinions on things like this. V: Oh yes. And all things. I think we have opinions on a lot of things. L: That's true. That's true. So Victoria, give me your top three movies for 2020. V: Okay, top three movies of 2020. Shirley directed by Josephine Decker, available on Hulu. Please watch it. It's excellent. Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, which is – I don't even need to explain this one. An excellent movie. And then Emma. Those are my top three. What about you Lami? What were your top three films of 2020? L: Definitely Emma, ‘cause I’m a huge slut for Jane Austen. Obviously. The King of Staten Island because Pete Davidson is my man. And I have written down Portrait of a Lady on Fire, although I did not really enjoy that movie. I guess I just haven't seen a lot of movies in 2020. V: Yeah, I feel that. I don't think there were a lot of good ones that came out, like I struggled to make this list. Or maybe I just didn't watch the good ones. That’s also a possibility. L: I think you would really like The King of Staten Island because you also like Pete Davidson. V: Oh, yeah. A huge fan of Pete Davidson, which apparently is controversial. L: TV show wise, I really liked Bridgerton obviously. Simon's pullout game is strong. The Queen's Gambit, although I know nothing about chess. And Emily in Paris. V: Did you really put that at number three? L: That was not number three. Okay. I'm not even going down a list right now. Um, number three, let's see. Possibly Sex Education, season two. Wait, no, no, no, V: Wait, that was in 2020? L: That was in 2020. V: So good. L: But maybe that didn't make my list. Big Mouth season three, two… three? The newest season. [Note: Lami is referring to Season 4.] Really, really good. Highly recommend. V: My TV choices. I only have two, but I would put Bridgerton on here as well. Shamefully, but so good. I love Gossip Girl, and I love Jane Austen, and it really just felt like the best possible combination. So, top two TV shows for me were How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast). Season two came out this year. This is a German show. Everyone needs to watch it. It's about two really nerdy high school boys that end up starting a drug business online, somehow. It's so complicated, but it's so good, and there's a lot involved, 3D printed guns … there's a lot of drama. It's so good. And then my other favorite was Ramy season two. So good. It has to be in my top five TV shows of all time. I think it's incredible, like the portrayal of the conflict between religion and culture and like American culture versus his culture from home. It's incredible. L: Remind me what Ramy is about again? I've heard you talk about this. V: Way too many times. Yeah. So, it's basically about this Muslim … man. I almost called him a boy. He's definitely a man, a fully grown man. But a Muslim man growing up in the U.S. and about just his relationship with his culture and his heritage, him reckoning with his religion versus American culture. And as someone who is religious, I think it's really interesting, like the tug between those two sides of yourself. So yeah, I love it. And it's also funny somehow. Despite all that, it's somehow comedic. But, yeah. And then I have podcasts next here. What were your favorite podcasts of the year? L: Definitely the one I listened to the most is probably Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain. Just because it's really light. I do listen to news podcasts, occasionally, but sometimes you just need some valley girl talk. You know. V: I love her. She's so relatable. L: And also Life Kit by NPR. They tell you how to do shit. I just need that in my life. V: We all need to know how to do more shit. L: How about you? V: So, my favorites. I'm gonna say The Daily by the New York Times just because I listen to it every day, so I can't not include it. L: Michael! V: I love Michael. L: Remember when we saw him on Zoom during that Medill talk? V: Truly changed my life. L: The highlight of my Fall Quarter. V: I think I cried a little bit, or a lot. He's a very important male figure in my life. It’s fine, anyways, moving on. My other top favorites were Canary by the Washington Post, I believe. Don't quote me on that. [Note: Canary is in fact published by the Washington Post.] But it was a limited series about just a couple of sexual assault cases from the past few years. Highly recommend. So good. Really interesting storytelling, and I think the reporter did a really good job balancing like the sensitive nature of the case. And then my next favorite is @lexie. I love her. I love her personality. She makes me happy listening to her. It's like Emma Chamberlain, it's light, she's funny. L: She's not that relatable though. This girl highkey went like “I never get stressed.” And then I stopped listening to her. V: It's attainable though. I'm trying to reach that level. L: Is it attainable though? I think … I think she's lying. She's definitely been stressed before. V: That's fair. I think it was a little bit of exaggeration on her part, but she's fun. She lives in New York City. She has a great life. She does YouTube for a living. L: I love that our – the people we look up to are YouTubers. V: Who are basically younger than me. Emma Chamberlain is younger than us. I think she's 19, still. L: I just really like Emma's podcast because she literally will hop on the mic and be like, “I had a shit day and I cried for three hours.” I was like “same. “ V: My favorite part is when she doesn't talk for three minutes and it's just her cats meowing and she’s like “Can you hear that? Can you hear that?” Please, I just want a cat. L: I think we need that in our podcast. I was gonna talk about stand up. V: Yeah, definitely. L: Because we definitely need some laughter in 2020 and 2021. I saw Taylor Tomlinson's Netflix special [Taylor Tomlinson:] Quarter-Life Crisis. The beginning of the year. I thought it was so good. Death to 2020 came out in 2020. V: No, it didn't. Did it come out the last day of the year? L: Probably. I don't know. I'm gonna count it as a 2020 film. [Note: Death to 2020 was released on Dec. 27th, 2020.] That one was funny. Very dark humor. V: I couldn’t get through five minutes of it. Not gonna lie. I don't know … something about it. It's confusing. L: It's not confusing. It's so funny. V: Yeah, I think I thought it was real for like two seconds. And then after that I was disappointed. I wanted a real documentary. L: We're living through it. We don't need a real fucking documentary. V: That’s true. I think it was because they made fun of the New Yorker. Or was it the New York Times? L: They did? V: Yeah. They were like mocking one of them. I can't remember which one.[Note: She means The New Yorker] L: That’s really funny. V: It hurt me. Oh, we can talk about documentaries. Yours is Miss Americana? L: This is so sad. Yes, mine is Miss Americana. Taylor Swift. Huge fan. Not the greatest documentary. But it has Taylor Swift in it, so I watched it. V: My favorite documentary of this year has to be Dick Johnson Is Dead. L: I loved that documentary. It’s so good. V: I think I cried for all of it, maybe? Possibly all of it. L: I think we need to rewatch it. V: Yeah. Do I need to cry again, though? Should we explain what it is? L: We should. V: For the audience. L: At least a little bit of it. Might be a little confusing.Who is Dick Johnson? Why is he dead? V: Exactly. Okay. So Kirsten Johnson made this movie. Basically, it's coming to terms with the fact that her dad is going to die, which sounds really sad. And it was, but she did it with almost a humorous take in that she had these scenes where her still-living father would go through a reenactment of how he could potentially die. So it'd be anything from like, getting hit by a car to having an air conditioning unit fall on his head, all of this crazy stuff. And she would direct and film these scenes. But yeah, it's just like, a really beautiful film. And it will be I think, for her once – I can't spoil it – but I think it's a really good remembrance of her dad. And it's also a beautiful piece of art. L: I think those are my favorite types of documentaries. Like when the documentarian kind of has a more self-reflective topic, rather than like trying to tackle a bigger issue. Yeah, I don't know. I just think those are really personal. And more pieces of art than journalism. V: Yeah, I agree. I think especially because the audience is seeing something through the lens of the documentarian. And so, anytime they're trying to tackle a really big topic that's not through a personal viewpoint, it can be dangerous and they can end up saying things that aren't true. Or they can end up jumping to conclusions, but I think sticking to your own story not only makes it more authentic, but it's also a lot more powerful. This has to be one of the most powerful documentaries I've ever watched. L: Ooh, what is the worst movie or TV show you've seen in 2020? V: Okay, so originally, I had the second To All The Boys movie, which is horrible. We watched that on Valentine's Day, didn't we? Which is revealing our very single status. L: That’s true. V: It's fine, whatever. Moving on. But I think after some very, very deep reflection, I have decided that the worst movie I saw this year has to be Kissing Booth 2. L: You saw that movie? Why did you see it? V: I don’t want to talk about it. Did I watch the entire two-and-a-half hours? Yes. L: That's like self destructive. Why would you see that? V: I loved it though. Not gonna lie, I loved it. L: What? I hated the first Kissing Booth movie. V: Yes, me too. No, no, I didn't hate it. L: It was so shit. I'm sorry. V: They're not good movies. They're not good movies. I enjoy watching them. I do think they are objectively horrible films. Really, no one should watch them. But I did watch it. I will say it was the worst movie of this year. L: I think mine rivals yours, maybe. 365 Days. It's basically – you know how some movies are basically porn with a plot? V: Bridgerton. L: This one's just flat out porn with 50% of a plot that doesn't fucking make sense. V: Isn’t that just actual porn at that point? L: Basically, it's an extended version of porn, basically, luxury porn. Do not search that up. Because I did, it does not mean what you think it means. Actually, it means exactly what you think it means. But 365 days, it's just about this mafia dude who kidnaps this lady. And then he's like, “I'll give you a year, 365 days, to fall in love with me. And if you don't, I'll set you free.” But then it was just a terrible representation of sex on screen. No consent, zero consent. And then halfway, she just falls in love with him. No fucking explanation why. V: What the fuck. L: They have more sex. That was it. V: I'm so disturbed. L: Do not watch it. Or watch it if that's what you're looking for, you know? V: I really hope it's not what you're looking for. L: Hey, no judgment here. V: A little bit of judgment. L: A little bit. V: See I’m a real film student. I’m allowed to pass judgment. L: 2020 was a hard year for everybody. So maybe luxury porn is what you need? Who knows? V: And on that note, I'm Victoria Benefield. L: And I'm Lami Zhang V: And this has been Subtitled.

"Everyone was clean--I learned it in romance novels!" It's our very first repost! Sorry guys, Clerika is busy AF trying to bring you a super-topical episode for next week. So enjoy this oldie but goodie, which is about how Europeans couldn't wash themselves to save their lives--literally! Seriously, some bad, racist shit is going down right now, and we here at Rude History Industries want to take this moment to remind our fellow whites that people of European descent took a SHAMEFULLY long time to learn not to stew in our own filth. So maybe lay off the anti-Asian comments, okay? Okay! BEGIN REPOST: Erika and Clare are back, baby! Closing out the New Year with a reminder that you should always, always wash your butt. Yep, that's right: We're talking about the Europeans and how they couldn't keep clean to save their lives! (Or other people's noses).

What You'll Hear: Saved by the blood of Christ at the age of 10 after an invitation from a neighbor First job mowing grass, but on a regular basis was at a small "His and Hers" grocery store down the street After high school, completed the 2 years electronics course at the Danville Community College and got a job right away at Sentry Cash Register Community colleges are a great way to avoid a lot of debt and be close to home Worked for the same company for 32 years and became a part owner in the business after the first 11 years Ambition was to grow and get to the top Don't waste your money, be cautious during times of abundance and prepare for things that might come Treat all of your employees the way you would want to be treated 6 years ago, the economy started to decline and there was competition from many other areas. Held on 3 years longer than should have. "I just didn't want to give up" "As I suffered, my family suffered" "The cycle I had set for myself was everything was going to be bigger and better "I had not given God credit for any of my success" "Shamefully, I realized I would take God off a shelf in times of need and despair, but I wouldn't rejoice with Him in the victories of each and every day" Break 1: 19:33 "In that final "I" moment, I asked God a lot of questions... I realized I had to have total surrender" In that season his wife and Mike first visited Union church in Danville "It's amazing how God can work in a person's life and how that things can change your perspective on what's important and what's not" "I was pretty worried, I was 51 years old, unemployed and basically knew how to do one thing" "I praise God in my storms...If I had continued to be successful, I would have continued to give myself the credit, and I might not even be in church" mike.strange@dancom.us

Today on Flashpoints: We dedicate the entire hour to Haiti. This coming Sunday is the 10th anniversary of the earthquake that killed over 300,000 Haitians in 2010 and led to a stampede of fundraising b charities, NGOs, missionaries and churches. Nearly 14 billion dollars was raised to ostensibly help Haitians though catastrophe and “build their country back better”. Shamefully, that never happened showing in the end that never have so few raised so much money to profit from the misery of so many. The post 10th Anniversary of The Earthquake in Haiti That Killed over 300,000 appeared first on KPFA.

What a difference a week makes. The last time the MOMocrats checked in, all of the pundits were declaring the Mueller hearings a big fat bust: there weren't any real fireworks, Mueller didn't say anything new, and - SHAMEFULLY! - the "optics weren't good." But a funny thing has happened since then: one by one, more and more House Democrats have declared their support for an impeachment inquiry (117 of 235, as of this writing - more than half). And as the individual representatives meet with constituents during this long summer recess, that number is sure to rise. (Maybe we can put to rest the complaints about Nancy Pelosi's careful strategy to build a strong case before beginning a formal process?) MOMocrats Aliza Worthington and Donna Schwartz Mills talk about this new march toward impeachment, as well as this week's reality TV debate, and the president's fear of the House Oversight Committee and its venerable chair, Rep. Elijah Cummings.

In Episode 33 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg compares coverage of the Idlib offensive from CNN and its Turkish counterpart TRT World, illustrating how the US corporate media uncritically echo the propaganda of the Assad regime. While TRT emphasizes civilian casualties, the CNN headline says "terrorists" are being killed—the propaganda technique of dehumanization and objectification of victims. Shamefully, "progressives" in the West are far more complicit with Assad's genocide. The deplorable Amy Goodman has now repeatedly allowed voices such as Phyllis Bennis and the inevitable Noam Chomsky to spew genocide-abetting propaganda on Democracy Now. Weinberg also discusses the contradictions facing the Rojava Kurds in the areas of Syria they control. He closes with a call for Syria Solidarity NYC and Rojava Solidarity NYC to hold a joint workshop at the NYC Anarchist Book Fair, to try to arrive at a unified pro-revolutionary position on Syria.

While the East and West Coast get the lion's share of attention, it's time to focus Texas. It's an exciting time to be making, and drinking, wines from the state. Explore the landscape, get to know the grapes, and find out which local bottles pair best with barbecue. Wine Discussed: @4:50 Llano Estacado 2017 Signature Rosé (Texas) @18:18 Haak 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon (Texas High Plains) @17:18 Messina Hof 2014 Paulo Limited Edition Red (Texas) Transcript: Jameson Fink: Welcome to Wine Enthusiast's What We're Tasting Podcast. I'm your host, Jameson Fink. Join me as we discuss three fantastic wines and why each one belongs in your glass. This episode, we're looking at wines from Texas, with Assistant Tasting Director Fiona Adams, who covers and reviews wines from the region. What We're Tasting is sponsored by Vivino. With the largest online inventory, Vivino finds the right wine every time. Even wines from Texas, which you do want to mess with. Download Vivino to discover and find your favorites, and stock up at Vivino.com/wineenthusiast. When I think about wine in the United States, of course the West Coast comes to mind probably first. Definitely first. California, Washington, Oregon. Then, of course, being in New York, and spending a lot more time living here on the East Coast, I'm getting more into New York wines, and trying things from Vermont and Virginia, of course. But a area I really know very little about wine-wise is Texas. I'm really excited to have you here on the show, Fiona, and give me a education in Texas wine. Welcome to the show. Fiona Adams: Thank you for having me. Jameson Fink: The first thing I want to know is where are they making wine in Texas? How many wine regions are there? What's going on? Fiona Adams: There are a handful of wine regions, but the two main ones, where they're doing most of the grape growing, a lot of the wineries are based there, are in Texas Hill Country, which Fredericksburg is the main town there. It's just outside of Austin and San Antonio. A little bit more to do. Then in West Texas, we've got the High Plains. So Lubbock, Odessa area. That's where they're doing most of the grape growing. It's really flat. Just a lot more space to work with. Most of the cotton grown in the United States is also grown there, so maybe grapes will edge them out. Jameson Fink: Or stock up on your white t-shirts and get some wine. Fiona Adams: Yeah, exactly. You can just ... disposable white t-shirts, with all the red wine they're making. Jameson Fink: What are the main grapes they're growing, red and white? Fiona Adams: They do a lot of pretty much everything there. I'd say the main standout red grape that's really emerging as Texas's signature is Tempranillo. A lot of different people are making it. It's pretty interesting. Then, in the whites, it's a lot of mix of just warmer weather white grapes. A lot of Rhône grapes, Roussannes, Marsannes. They've got Albariños, Chenin blancs, and your classic Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, so they're really still in the experimentation phase in finding their true signature grapes, but it leads to a lot of different, interesting wines in a whole bunch of different styles. Jameson Fink: Usually, I don't like to say like, "Oh, is this region like this?" I like to judge things on their own merits, but just, if you're not familiar with Texas, if you like these kinds of wines, it might remind you of this, or the land might remind you of that? Is it unique, as far as geographic weather, or ... Fiona Adams: The weather? I mean, it's Texas, so it's hot. You should expect some fuller-body wines. Wines with a little bit more alcohol. Wines that are just a little bit fuller in character. A little heartier. But they have a lot of talented winemakers who are making things that are really elegant and lighter-bodied, as well. It might be really hot there in the summer, but they also get really cold there, which not a lot of people know. It's pretty decent elevation. Winters get pretty cool. They've got a really great temperature change, day to night, out in the High Plains. Hill Country is a little bit more what you would expect. Pretty humid, pretty hot, but not as much grape production is going on there. Jameson Fink: What's the elevation, in ... As far as it goes? Fiona Adams: It's high. Jameson Fink: Yeah, it's high. Fiona Adams: Not as high as New Mexico, but higher than most places. Higher than you would expect. Jameson Fink: High enough to get a diurnal shift, dare we say? Fiona Adams: Oh, yeah. I mean, Texas ... The big joke about Texas is, depending on what part of the state, the season can change. You could have winter in the northern part, and it be a snowstorm, and then go further south, and it's 100-degrees, and 1,000% humidity, and chilling at a beach. You get a little bit of everything. Jameson Fink: Yeah. One of the scariest snowstorms I ever drove through was in Texas. Fiona Adams: People don't think about snow when it comes to Texas, but they've got plenty of weather. Jameson Fink: Yeah. Well, speaking of weather, it's right now, here in New York and all over the country, it's a prime rosé drinking season, so actually the first wine I want to talk about from Texas is a rosé. It's the Llano Estacado 2017 Signature Rosé. 89 points, best buy. Can you tell me a little bit about this wine as far as what's in it, and what it tastes like? Fiona Adams: It's a really tasty rosé. It's definitely got that lighter, Provençal color going on. Really pretty, like those classic strawberry and fruit flavors. Then the blend has got some more of those Rhône grapes that are doing really well there. I believe it's Cinsault, and ... Jameson Fink: Carignan, Mourvèdre, and Grenache. I have it in front of me. Fiona Adams: There you go. So more like a classic Rhône blend, but they've been able to keep it really refreshing, and pretty, and all of those things that people are really looking for in their rosés right now. It's just ... I mean, it's a great price. It's great wine. Jameson Fink: Are you seeing a lot of dry rosés like this from Texas? Fiona Adams: Oh, yeah. They do a ton of dry rosé there. There's been a handful of producers that are canning their rosé. I mean, it is hot in the summer there. You want to sit outside, and drink rosé, and hang out. There's, I mean, a huge variety. I mean, they are definitely doing a lot more of those Rhône grape blends for their rosés, but you can find a few of those Cabernet Sauvignon ones. It's going to be a little bit fuller than a Provençal-style, but I wouldn't go into saying it's dark rosé, that you need food. It's that really light, approachable style. Jameson Fink: It reminds me of, I mean, I was just talking with Sean Sullivan about Washington State and Eastern Washington. I mean, it's really hot out there, and it's very deserty, but you get these ... You can still ... I mean, it's just like Provence. It's hot, but you produce these wines from grapes that make these thirst-slaking wines that you want to drink in the heat of the summer. Fiona Adams: And they've got canned rosé. Who doesn't want canned rosé? Jameson Fink: I want canned rosé! Fiona Adams: There's a couple of cool producers who are making these canned rosés. Messina Hof, who we'll talk about later. They do a canned rosé that's really tasty. There's a few other guys who are doing it, as well. Then Lewis Cellars makes a ton of rosé that's all Rhône-varieties. They're just so pretty, and so delicious. He's really starting to master making those very light, refreshing, expressive wines with these grapes that can get insanely ripe in that heat. Jameson Fink: Yeah, and I think you mentioned canned wines, and I think ... People talk, "Oh, is it a fad, or a trend?" I mean, I think it's here to stay. We've gone past that. I think we're going to see more and more of canned wine. Fiona Adams: If you can can beer, why can't you can wine? Jameson Fink: I agree. I tend to like ... I mean, you can get a 12-ounce can. To me, it's like, "Okay, great. There's two glasses in there." Or I actually like better the ... I like the little Red Bull-sized, or what are those ... 250-milliliters. More like single-serving wines. Fiona Adams: Exactly. If you're having a barbecue or something, that small can ... Or going to the beach. Sitting by the pool. You don't want to deal with glasses and bottles. I mean, there's all those products that you can buy, but it's way easier to ... you throw in your six-pack of beer, and you throw in your six-pack of wine, and you're ready to go. Jameson Fink: That's right. They can live in the same cooler. Fiona Adams: Exactly. Jameson Fink: That's great. The second wine ... We're going to move into red wine territory. It's from the Texas High Plains. It's the Haak 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon. 88 points. What is a Texas Cabernet like? Fiona Adams: Texas Cabernet ... I mean, they're hitting all of those checkboxes that die-hard Cabernet Sauvignon-lovers really want. It's going to be fuller-bodied. They've got all that great tannin and structure. Some of those classic tobacco and leathery flavors. Then, because the fruit gets so ripe down there, they get really punchy red berries in there. All of their reds, really. It's just like ... You get all of those nice flavors, and structure, and support from the oak aging, but you're not overwhelming the fruit flavors, because they are just naturally so intense. Jameson Fink: Is it too corny for me to say, like, these are great wines to have with brisket or Texas barbecue? Fiona Adams: Texas barbecue! Absolutely. Brisket's big down there, and delicious. I mean, depending on who you talk to, they'll tell you 10 or 12 different barbecue places that you have to go to. I agree. You have to go to get them. It pairs well with ... Yeah. Those really classic Texas portions. Your big meat. You've got your cornbread, your potato salad. All the classic sides, and the wines just seamlessly pair with that traditional flavor. Jameson Fink: So if you're visiting Hill Country, you can just do a pretty epic day or week of barbecue and wine tasting? Fiona Adams: Absolutely. Especially with Hill Country being so close to Austin, which has some seriously famous barbecue places. I'm a Salt Lick person. That's my favorite. Come at me. Jameson Fink: I can't. I haven't been there, so ... Shamefully. Fiona Adams: You're also close to San Antonio, which has an insane amount of restaurants. You can, easy enough, fly in there. Rent a car, and in a couple of hours, you're in wine country with just as many great restaurants. A ton of different wineries you can visit. They've got their own wine trail happening in Hill Country, so you can really have that experience that Napa or New York has really developed, where, oh, you come here, and this is a wine trail, and everything is geared around that. Jameson Fink: I think people are like, "Look, I'll get on a plane right now and go to Napa," or Sonoma, or really anywhere. But I think people are looking for those kinds of destinations, too, that are a little off-beat. People, like I said, love to go to Austin, or San Antonio, and like to be able to visit a unique wine country that's maybe unexpected. I think that's kind of the next step, is like, "Oh! I'm going to think about Texas, and I'll think of wine." Or "I'll think of tasting wine." Or buying wine, buying local wine. I think that's pretty exciting, too. Fiona Adams: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, Napa is, sure, the American wine destination for a lot of people. It's the first one that pops into their head. But it's really crowded. It's really expensive. And you can get a similar vibe and experience in Texas that you can in Napa, because you've got great restaurants. You've got a great place to stay. Great shopping. They've also got horses and Texas stuff that's way cooler. Jameson Fink: Hey, we'll be back to the show very shortly. But since you're here, I know you're already a fan of wine podcasts. Why don't you check out our other show, called The Wine Enthusiast Podcast. Download it wherever you get podcasts. Okay. I want to get a little controversial. Bring up a controversial issue. One is that ... Well, not one. The issue, to me, is that there are a lot of wines made in Texas that are made from grapes imported from California. I'm wondering, when you look at a label, how do you know ... It can say "Texas" on the label, but the grapes can be imported from California. How prevalent is this, and what is your take on that? Fiona Adams: There is a big divide there about buying grapes from a different state, and slapping on your label, "Made in Texas." There's been a huge push. There's a lot of young winemakers who are really making some excellent wines who are saying, "Hey, if I wanted to make California wine, I would make it in California. But I'm in Texas. I'm from Texas. I grew up here. I've been farming these grapes for my whole life." It's really a big push for that sense of pride of place. That "This is Texas wine. This isn't California wine. We grow our grapes. We have our own industry. We can beat them. Our wines are just as good. Some of our wines are better." It's just a different experience. I mean, buying grapes from other wine regions is a common occurrence in some lesser-known states that, maybe they don't have the infrastructure. Maybe there are certain grapes that winemakers want to experiment with, but they just can't grow in their climates. I mean, that's one way to go, and if you're making beautiful wine, I'm not going to be that mad at you. But especially when you consider sustainability and the environmental impact of trucking grapes from a different state, to ferment it, and then to say that your wine is from Texas? It's like, yeah, you might have made it there, but it's not the same. Jameson Fink: I mean, I think the whole idea is like local food, and local wine, and when you visit a place, you want to have a literal taste of the place. I mean, I'm certainly ... Look, I'm saying this as some dude sitting on a couch in a Manhattan studio, but if I owned a business, and ... there just aren't enough grapes, for one thing, was [inaudible 00:14:16] be the problem. I'm sure they're planning a lot more. There's just not enough grapes to meet demand. But I just think there has to be some kind of transparency in labeling. That's something that I don't know that much about as far as how labeling doesn't say, like, "22% of these grapes came from California." Or how that's- Fiona Adams: They're really working on changing the labeling laws, and making sure that people know exactly where their grapes are coming from. That's a big push in a lot of states, as well, where there's ... When the local wine industry grows, you want to have that stamp on your wines that this is a local wine, and not a wine where the grapes are coming from someplace else. But as you mentioned, there are issues where you run into with bad harvests, or the demand for Texas wine is going up. They drink so much wine in Texas. You want to keep up with production, so if you are not able to get in all of the grapes that you need to produce the amount of wine that you want to make or sell, and they buy other grapes ... It's just like, "All right, that can be a short-term Bandaid." But there has been a lot more planting. There's a lot of investment in growing more wine. Like I said, in the High Plains, they can push out the cotton industry, as far as I'm concerned. They've got excellent soil. It takes less water to grow grapes than it does cotton, and they're harvesting really quality fruit. Jameson Fink: Yeah, and I think that maybe the thing to do is when you visit, or anyone visits, is to ask questions. Just be like, "Here's our Cabernet." "Where do you get the grapes from?" That's not accusatory. And say, "Are you trying to move away from importing grapes, and having more Texas grapes? Are you planting? Are you buying? Are you working with vineyards that are growing?" I just think, as a wine drinker, when you're visiting, ask these questions, and get to know ... Just like you would ask about any other wines when you're visiting a wine region, and listen to what these winemakers are saying. Or these business owners, too. Because like I said, it's easy for me to complain. Like, "Well, why would you make any ... Why don't you stop making wine when you run out of grapes?" And like, "If your livelihood and business ... Maybe five years down the road, or 10 years down the road, plantings will increase and then you won't need to be reliant on that." I think also, as people are more into local wine everywhere ... I mean, just demand that. Demand that they move towards sourcing grapes from local vineyards, or vineyards in the state. Fiona Adams: Texas is a great place to visit for that. Most of the wineries have tasting rooms. They have great staff who are willing to tell you about the wines that you're trying, and tell you where they were planted. It's like, "Oh, yeah. These grapes? If you drive five miles down that road, you can go look at these vines." They've got a fair amount of ability to handle tourists and really educate wine drinkers. It's definitely worth the visit. Jameson Fink: Absolutely. The third wine we want to talk about is Messina Hof 2014 Paulo Limited Edition Red. 89 points. It's a Merlot blend. 60% Merlot, 27% Tempranillo, 13% Cabernet. I know you just tasted a bunch of Tempranillos from Texas. Can you talk about Tempranillo in Texas, and how ... Is that the grape to hitch your wagon to? Fiona Adams: Tempranillo is definitely something that's becoming really popular there. I mean, they've got the right climate for it. If you think about ... Tempranillo, it's Rioja's grape. It's another place where it is hot there. It is flat. It has got not an entirely similar climate, but they've really been able to take those grapes and bring them to Texas and make their own style on it. I mean, they don't taste like Riojas. They are their own stamp on it. I mean, they do have similarities to Rioja, but I think you get a nice range of styles that you couldn't find someplace else, and just great fruit flavors. A lot of the winemakers are pretty restrained in their use of oak, so you get some really pretty fruit flavors that will go with a lot of different foods. If you don't want something that's a big, heavy Gran Reserva, and you want a Tempranillo, I mean, Texas ... There's a lot of great value there. The vines really seem to have taken to the soils and the climates there, and it really looks like that's where they're headed. Jameson Fink: I thought it was also cool about Messina Hof, is that it was founded in 1977. I mean, I think it was maybe the fourth winery in Texas. I didn't realize that the history goes back that far. Fiona Adams: Oh, yeah. Texas? They've been making wine for a really long time. They used to grow grapes and sell them to California winemakers. Messina Hof's been around for a while, and they definitely have proved themselves as very capable of making excellent wines, and have really embraced the family wine tradition in Texas in creating a lasting industry. Jameson Fink: I also was, when I was looking at their lineup of wines, they have an Estate Sagrantino, which I thought was really cool and unusual. Fiona Adams: It's delicious. Jameson Fink: I think that's ... It reminds me of when I was in Australia, in the McLaren Vale ... That was kind of lame of me to just brag about that, but you know what I mean- Fiona Adams: "When I was in Australia." Jameson Fink: When I was ... Yeah. Yeah. Ugh. So insufferable. But I mean the Barossa, or the McLaren Vale, rather, and it's super ... I mean, it's crazy hot there. There's a winery, Oliver's Taranga, that makes a Sagrantino, and they do a Fiano, and I think it's really smart, when you're in a climate that's that hot, to think about grapes like Sagrantino. Fiona Adams: Absolutely. I mean, they're definitely still experimenting and figuring out, like, "All right. If this works, why can't this work?" Or "This seems to be a climate that's similar to ours. Let's throw in a few vines." I mean, they're enough under-the-radar, and they have a great local consumer base that, if they make something, and maybe it isn't their favorite thing, and they can pull out the vines in a couple of years? At least they tried it, and check that one off the list, move to the next one. Jameson Fink: Yeah. Fiona Adams: I mean, and they're not really having a problem selling their wines. It's hard to find Texas wine outside of Texas because they're drinking all of the wine in Texas. Why would you export, if you can just sell it to everyone here. Jameson Fink: Yeah. No doubt! Fiona Adams: Hopefully, they get to enough production where you can find it in a few more states, but a lot of the wineries have wine clubs. They're easy to find. They're breaking into some markets. Chicago's got a decent handful of producers that are selling there. New York, of course, but ... Yeah. They keep ... I mean, Messina Hof also does Rieslings, which you would think, "Why would you grow Riesling, this German Alpine grape, in hot Texas?" But with really capable wine techniques, and knowing your region really well, they're able to create very dry, very approachable, affordable Rieslings. Who knows what Texas can do? It's these grapes that are just very surprising, that makes it difficult to be like, "Texas is this." It's like, "Oh, but wait. They also do this, this, and this. So maybe Texas is that." They're trying to find an identity, but maybe it's not as simple as nailing it down to, "Rioja makes Tempranillo. Barossa makes Shiraz." They've got the capability and enough people who are willing to just be constantly experimenting that maybe they don't need to be the "This is the Cab state." Jameson Fink: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Well, speaking of experimenting, one of the nice pleasures of recording with someone in the studio together ... We're live here together ... is sharing some wine. This is our bonus wine that you brought, that I've been really excited to try. It's from Southold Farm + Cellar, which ... I mean, we've both like ... used to be a winery located in Long Island, and now is in Texas. As far as how that happened, I think I can just say Long Island's loss, Texas's gain. But tell me about this white wine you brought. It's very luscious. Fiona Adams: Yeah, so this is a white blend. This is one of those wines where it's like, oh yeah, Texas is going to try ... make anything, and a lot of the times, they're going to succeed. This is Southold's blend. It's called Don't Forget to Soar. It's mostly- Jameson Fink: S-O-A-R. Fiona Adams: Yes. "Soar," like a bird. Jameson Fink: Like a bird. Yes, I gotcha. Fiona Adams: It's mostly Roussanne, right? I said? Jameson Fink: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Fiona Adams: With a splash of Albariño, and those are two white grapes that ... I've been coming across them in Texas a lot. They've been very expressive, really fruit-driven wines. They've got an insane amount of acidity, and they've had a lot of success, so I'm hoping that they do go in this direction where they do a lot more of these Rhône blends, especially in their whites. This one is a little bit funkier. Maybe a little skin-contact going on. Jameson Fink: Possibly, yeah. It's got some depth of color. It's rich. It's very good. It's very ... not indulgent, but it's very luscious, like I said. It's- Fiona Adams: It is luscious. Jameson Fink: Yeah. It's got a lot of texture to it. Fiona Adams: Exactly. Southold, this is another one of those younger winemakers who is trying new things, and really expanding the category. I would say Lewis Cellars, which I mentioned before. They're doing a lot of interesting wines. William Chris is another winery. It's a duo with a younger guy who's making really awesome wines. He is not on the Tempranillo bandwagon. Jameson Fink: Mm. Ah! Fiona Adams: But his wines are incredible, so I'm not going to fault him. Jameson Fink: Right. Fiona Adams: I think having that energy has really been helping to give space to wines like this one, that's a little bit weirder. Wouldn't be what you'd expect, but because Texas isn't nailed down to this one signature style, that everyone's like, "Oh, yeah. I'll try that one. Oh, yeah. I'll try that. Who knows? I'm not so stuck in my ways with one style that I can just try something." Jameson Fink: Yeah. It reminded me, like I said, I hinted at earlier, it reminds me a lot of Washington State, as far as like, "Oh, do we need a signature grape? Do we have one?" Or, I think they're, obviously, in Washington, is farther along, but they went through those same things, where they're like, "We're trying this here. We're trying it in these sites. We're trying these warm weather grapes. We do Riesling, too, and it works." I feel a kinship there. But whites, rosés, reds. It sounds like Texas is a really exciting place to explore. Especially getting in on the ground floor, before the word is out. The word should be out, because they make a lot of wine. They do make a lot of wine. But I would encourage everyone to visit. I definitely want to visit. I want to go eat some barbecue and drink some Tempranillo and rosé, and maybe have- Fiona Adams: Those Rhône wines. Jameson Fink: ... the Rhône wines. Fiona Adams: You've got to go for those Rhône wines. Jameson Fink: Yeah, the Roussanne. Fiona Adams: McPherson makes a Picquepoul that is my summer wine. They're based out in the High Plains, so a little bit further, but- Jameson Fink: That was the first Texas wine I ever had, was a McPherson. Fiona Adams: He's been doing it a long time, and it shows. His wines are stellar. He's got a little bit of something for everyone. I mean, that Picquepoul, if you're sitting outside in the heat, maybe not Texas heat, but it's just as hot in New York right now. Jameson Fink: Yeah. Fiona Adams: That's the wine that I want to be drinking. Jameson Fink: Fantastic. Well, there's a lot to explore with Texas wine, so thanks for enlightening me and being on the show, Fiona. Fiona Adams: Thank you. Jameson Fink: All right. Let's drink more of this delightful Southold wine. Fiona Adams: Yeah. Jameson Fink: Thank you for listening to the What We're Tasting Podcast.

Shamefully, fashion is the https://www.ecowatch.com/fast-fashion-is-the-second-dirtiest-industry-in-the-world-next-to-big--1882083445.html (second most polluting) industry on the planet - and most of us are guilty of feeding the beast. But Citizen Wolf is looking to change that. In this episode of Telltale we speak with the co-founder of sustainable fashion brand https://www.citizenwolf.com/ (Citizen Wolf), https://www.citizenwolf.com/pages/about (Eric Phu). The casual clothing brand makes custom, tailored, handmade outfits for its customers but also focuses on creating a sustainable business with a low environmental impact. But it didn't start that way. Eric explains that the problem Citizen Wolf aimed to solve was customising and tailoring clothing to ensure a proper fit and a long-lasting, high-quality garment. It just happened to be a byproduct, he says, that the brand's process focused on doing so sustainably. But it's an important point of difference.

Segment #007: The C.U.R.E. Is society sick? Are our values sick? Is the way that we treat each other sick? Sick is defined as unwell; bad; not a hundred percent. Do you feel that the community and the people within it could use some repairing? Do you feel that YOU could use some repairing? The riots in Ferguson MO and now in Baltimore have brought a rude awakening to all Americans regarding how we are getting along as brothers and sisters. Even though these horrible occurrences represent less than 1% of Americans it seems to be drawing about 99% of everyone's attention, while setting the tone of what we all think about each other even if we live hundreds of miles from the areas of concern. Well, whether we live 100s of miles away from the area shouldn't matter when we see our neighbors going through confusions and difficulties such as these. We should take the pains and struggles of our countrymen to heart even if it has no immediate and direct affect on us. Shamefully, some who don't live within the areas of Ferguson and Baltimore have taken an interest in the burning, looting and assaults but only through social media insults to either forward their own agendas of hate or, to brag about how they would handle a situation that at the moment poses no threat to them. This is not what I mean by getting involved. Through the traveling of many paths in life I have found what I feel is the main igniter of bad occurrences between humans in today's society.

Hope is a universal need — we all long for it. The risen Jesus declares that hope is in him, and that hope is available. * A note from Pastor Brian: In this sermon I refer to an article claiming that a first-century historical account of Jesus performing a miracle had been found. Shamefully, I did not check my sources well, and the article was revealed as an intentional deception by its author. Forgive me for not being more careful, and know I'm committed to not making such a mistake again. I pray you are no less inspired by the hope of the resurrection as you listen. He is alive!
After three contrasting months apart, The Earthbound Astronauts have finally reunited! We’ve only been on the road for five weeks, yet we’ve had the pleasure of traversing through eight distinctly different countries. It’s been an adventure-filled reunion, so this is only Part I of our unpredictable voyage. Don’t blink or you’ll miss it!To listen to the Part I podcast click HERE!Switzerland – Geneva – September 30th– October 1stAfter being apart for three months, we were both enthusiastic to start the next phase of our journey. Meeting in Geneva was convenient for us both as Casey had been travelling with his parents in Switzerland, and Geneva was only a short two-hour train ride away from Lyon, where I had been stationed for the previous two months. We jubilantly met at a prearranged hostel both invigorated by the unknown of the coming months. Casey was excited to be no longer travelling solo, whilst I was ecstatic to be on the move once more. Wanting to celebrate our once again formidable duo, we ventured into Geneva to enjoy a meal. Having been forewarned of the exuberant pricing in Switzerland still did not prepare us for the blatant extortion encountered! Unfortunately for us, pricing was relative to the heightened salaries received in Switzerland, those with heavy financial restraints, such as ourselves, were reduced to the common European travellers meal: a baguette, cheese, salami and a lukewarm beer. Meeting Casey’s parents at The European Organisation for Nuclear Research or ‘CERN’ was a very exciting occasion. We were able to join them both for a tour of CERN and find out about the enormous subterranean particle accelerator and the recently confirmed Higgs Boson, a concept that is still outside my scientific grasp. It was a great event to share with Casey’s dad, David, as he has a great passion for physics, and this facility is at the forefront of research in this area. As we sadly farwelled both Aleysha and David, it marked the true beginning of our journey.A combination of rejuvenating motivation along with Casey’s resent success hitchhiking, spurred us on an adventure to hitchhike from Geneva, Switzerland to Barcelona, Spain. Catching public transport to the Swiss-French border, garnished with our packs, we climbed a small fence leading to the highway, casually strolled across the border checkpoint, placed our packs down for but a second, barely having time to lift the iconic hitchhiker thumb and a car pulled up. Knowing the broad direction we wanted to head in, AKA west, the driver asked us where we’d like to go, we said Lyon (a large city in the general direction of Barcelona), when he said he wasn’t going in that direction we naively insisted that any ride was a good ride, even one that smelt so strongly of cheese… We had a great time chatting to our new Hungarian friend about his new life in France; however, it soon became apparent that we were not heading in the direction we’d initially intended. We ended up in Chamonix, a small town in the shadow of Europe’s tallest mountain, Mont Blanc. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, luscious forests and typical French buildings, this charming town is what dreams are made of. Contemplating our new situation, we separately had the same idea of travelling into Italy. Astonished at our already distorted plan (a habit we cannot seem to break), we changed our tact and now waited on a highway, not so far away from the Italian border, waiting for our next willing lift. Italy – Genoa & Cinque Terra – October 2nd – October 5th We were eventually picked up by a really nice Italian-speaking Albanian, who was kind enough to drive us past his own small town to Aosta, a town with a main train station. We drove through an incredible part of Italy, with valleys dotted with various castles and villages, which seemed to be untouched by the progressive modernization witnessed in larger cities. Unfortunately, our new friend was unable to speak English, but this gave Casey an opportunity to put his freshly practiced Italian to use. He was incredibly hospitable; he even bought us a beer and refused to let us pay for it! From the train station we headed to Genoa, a port town, where we would enquire about a ferry to Spain.We arrived into Genoa at night with no organised accommodation. Not believing this to be a problem, we were turned away from numerous hotels and hostels either due to unavailability or extravagant prices. We swallowed our pride and stayed at the cheapest we could find, even though it was considerably more then we were expecting to pay. When enquiring as to why there was such a shortage of accommodation, we found out it was due to the famed Genoa annual boat show. What would a trip to Genoa be without going to the fabled boat show! It was amazing to see the yachts that were on show. Casey and I definitely didn’t quite fit the part when it came to prospective cliental, yet we boarded some of the more modest yachts and were still able to dream about potential future travel opportunities.Determining that we had a few days before we were going to board the ferry to Barcelona, we headed to Cinque Terre, a portion of coast on the Italian Riviera. Cinque Terre consists of five distinctively unique villages, all vibrantly coloured. Each village sits in a small cove, with the buildings carefully teetering on the sharp slope of the surrounding tumultuous terrain. It was beautiful to see these still lively villages in an incredibly well preserved and prosperous state. Returning to Genoa after a fleeting visit, we boarded the 20-hour ferry across the Mediterranean to Barcelona. Spain – Barcelona, Tarragona & Granada – October 6th – 12thAs we arrived into Barcelona it was obvious that the city was going to live up to it’s impressive reputation as a culturally rich and vivacious city. Every street or small alley was bustling with life, a combination of luminescent light, erratically scattered boutiques and restaurants, and people eager to enjoy the temperate ambience. Having discovered that a friend from home, Sam, was going to be in Barcelona at the same time, we decided to meet. As Sammy had been in Barcelona for about a week before we arrived, he acted as our pseudo-tour guide, attempting to enlighten us about Gaudi, a famous architect whose eccentric and imaginative buildings have become icons of Barcelona. Shamefully, Casey and I were unaware of Gaudi before our arrival and were naively curious about this ‘Gaudi’ character people continually referred to as if it was common knowledge. As a trio, we trekked up to Montjuïc Castle, where we are able to see the incredible immensity of Barcelona and it’s surrounding satellite towns.Even though Barcelona is well known for pickpockets and petty crime, we had no issues. The only act of theft that we experienced was due to a lapse in our concentration, forgetting to ask the price of mediocre paninis in what seemed like a legitimate panini business, which resulted in blatant daylight robbery! This was a sore moment for us both, especially when we sent Sam into the same shop a day later to enquire about the price, to find out there had been a significant price reduction… Having enjoyed our time with Sammy thus far, we invited him to join us through the remained of Spain and into Morocco. Even though there had been a slight ‘salting of game’ whilst we partook in the infamous Catalan nightlife, Sam whimsically decided to joined us. We headed to the historical beach town, Tarragona, to see Margherita, a friend of Casey’s from his exchange to Italy eight years earlier. Tarragona is primarily a student town and Margherita, who was there on the Erasmus study exchange program, was kind enough to accommodate us for the night and expose us to the energetic nightlife of an Erasmus student on exchange. This was but a brief visit to Tarragona as we were eager to arrive in Morocco. Finding it difficult to plan a direct route to a port town where we could board a ferry headed for Tangiers, we organised an overnight train to Granada through Valencia, where we had the pleasure of waiting until the early hours of the morning for our connecting train.Arriving in Granada with no idea about the city, we walked around attempting to find accommodation, which, again, was quite an ordeal. Eventually, we found a nice pension run by a very friendly elderly non-English-speaking lady we fondly nicknamed ‘Nonna’. The room was barely big enough for one person, let alone three, and this was before Sammy decided to covert the room into a Chinese laundry. Granada was quite an old town, and we had arrived (unbeknown to us) on National Day. This explained the lack of accommodation and the continuous parades consisting of marching bands and officials garnished with lavish medals and medallions. Granada was the point where we started to notice influences from North Africa. The main area of Granada was full of exotic stalls selling spices, clothes and various other memorabilia. Again, we were only in Granada for a night as we were attempting to arrive in a port town the following day and make our way to Morocco. We awoke the following morning marginally later then anticipated, which raised the anxiety levels slightly. Whose fault this was is an ongoing argument… However, we were able to board a train to Algeciras where we boarded a late, and somewhat delayed, ferry headed to Tangiers, Morocco. After about three and a half months we fondly said goodbye to Europe and were excited for the next stage of our journey, North Africa and the Middle East.Morocco – Tangiers, Fes, Marrakech & Casablanca – October 13th – October 21stThe ferry across the Strait of Gibraltar was a swift yet symbolic passage from one continent to the next. As we left the Tangiers port terminal we were asked if we wanted buses or taxis into the city. However, we had done some research earlier and determined that a reasonable hostel was within walking distance and refused all offers. We started walking down a highway parallel to the port for what seemed like an immense distance before we started to question our whereabouts. It turned out that we had arrived into the second port of Tangiers, approximately 50 kilometres from the actual city. We swallowed our pride and returned to the port to enquire about catching a bus to the amusement of a collection of drivers that had offered us lifts earlier. It was nearing midnight as we arrived in Tangiers so we decided to stay in a quite reasonably priced four-star spa resort hotel. This luxury was quite a change from the accommodation we were accustomed. We had not intended on spending much time in Tangiers as we’d heard it was predominately a port town where Moroccans head to indulge themselves in taboo or illegal activities, so we decided to head to Fes.Boarding the train to Fes was an experience in itself. We boarded an already crowded train with our large bags, the only remaining space was located next to the rancid bathroom at the end of the carriage, and this was filling fast. As we gathered in this confined space, we realised that standing for six hours in the sweltering heat was going to present us with another ‘unique’ experience. Obviously realising that the train was at capacity, they decided to add some additional carriages, and we were luckily able to secure a compartment before it too become obscenely crowded. Fes turned out to be what we imagined an incredibly authentic Moroccan city would be like. We had booked a hostel within the medina, the old town enclosed within a medieval fortification. Within the medina, buildings were all constructed using the same yellowish clay into simple rectangular structures arbitrarily mounted upon one another. The small streets and alleyways were almost impossible to navigate as they unpredictably wound around and through buildings with smaller capillary streets branching of into small squares or to other indistinguishable locations. It turned out the train had been so crowded because people were returning home for an Islamic holiday, which became evident by the heightened activity within the medina. We were witness to donkeys hauling peculiar products into the labyrinth of the medina, sheep being delivered to a multitude of butchers and continuously directed to illusive tanneries. Seeing a sheep being delivered on the back of a donkey is an unusual sight at the best of times. Fes was also an interesting location as Sam and I were unlucky enough to encounter bed bugs, our first and incredibly unpleasant encounter with these brutal parasites. Casey was smugly impressed he avoided these macroscopic terrors, yet a few days later, to Sam and my enjoyment, a few bites did appear.After we’d visited Fes, we headed to Marrakech, much more of a tourist-centric city, which did partially subtract from the appeal; however, the city was still an amazing spectacle. The highlight of Marrakech is a large market place that has numerous performances, snake charmers, orange juice stalls and restaurants. At night, the market was flooded by lights and truly came to life as people bustled between all the interesting performances, most of which seemed to involve men dressed as women… I, unfortunately, was slightly unwell during our time in Marrakech and didn’t have the pleasure of visiting some ancient tombs and a castle, but Casey and Sam visited the sights and raved about the intricacies and the impressive atmosphere of the structures. Preparing to leave Morocco, we headed to Casablanca where Casey and I were going to catch our flight to Jordan and Sam was going to fly to Paris. Casablanca seemed like a very plain city, so we were glad we had not afforded it too much of our limited time. We headed to the Casablanca airport, said our goodbyes to Sam who we’d greatly enjoyed travelling with for just over two weeks, and boarded our plan to Amman, Jordan. We did get to enjoy a stopover night in Cairo airport that resulted in us both passing out at a table just outside of our boarding gate while we waited for a flight to Tunisia to board. An interesting image: Two westerners sleeping quite ungracefully at a table as a large group of Tunisians board their flight, many of them impressively carrying their possessions on their head…And that is the end of The Reunion Part I! It is difficult to believe that this all happened within the space of three weeks. I’ll leave you with a quote by Ernest Hemingway that has helped me keep things in perspective, “Never mistake motion for action”. As we continue to travel I reflect upon everything we have done and everything we hope to do both while travelling and beyond. The Reunion Part II is only a few days away, so keep your eyes open and as always, keep posted.
Pastor Andy Davis preaches a verse-by-verse expository sermon on Isaiah 33. The main subject of the sermon is how God acts to establish his glorious kingdom. - Sermon Transcript - Turn in your Bibles to Isaiah chapter 33. I begin this incredible chapter, I was saying to somebody this morning, it's like a magnificent piece of sheet music, and I get to sit down at the Steinway and play it, and I don't think, don't know that my skill is going to be up to it. If I were literally playing piano, my skill would absolutely not be up to it. I can do some things with my right hand. That's it. But this is a magnificent text of Scripture, and as I meditate on the truths there are in Isaiah 33, I think about another passage of Scripture, 1 Corinthians 13:12, which says, "Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror, then we shall see face to face." Thinking about that verse this morning, what is the nature of the poverty of the reflection? Why is it a poor reflection? Why do we see in a glass dimly, it says in the KJV. It's because, all we are given are words. That's it. You have the gifts of the Spirit, you have words, and that's all you're gonna get from me this morning; you will not get the vision. Some day there will be the vision; you will see the King in his glory. This morning, all you get are words, and those words will be effective in your life only by faith, only if God gives you faith will these words do anything for you at all. There are three magnificent, overpowering themes in Isaiah 33. The first is the terrors of hell. Look at verse 14, "The sinners in Zion are terrified; trembling seizes [or surprises] the godless: ‘Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?’" And so in these words, I see the terrors of hell. Secondly, the delights of heaven. Look at verse 17, "Your eyes will see the king in his beauty and view a land that stretches afar." And thirdly, overall, though no specific verse talks about it, the marvelous, the wondrous grace of God in accepting such pathetic repentance from sinners like us, and blessing it with full forgiveness of sins and the lavish graces of heaven. So what do I mean by that? Well, the circumstances in this chapter are that God has pressed the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the point where they have nowhere to turn, but God. God has become their last resort, and it is a dishonor to God to be our last resort. He should be our first resort. We should think first about Him and flee to him whenever there's any trouble, and bring all of the issues of our lives to him immediately, but the people of Judah and Jerusalem were stubborn and they tried everything they could to avoid the pressure of the Assyrian invasion, they looked to Egypt, they looked to gold and silver, they tried to buy off the Assyrians. And when there was nothing else left to do, finally they trusted the Lord, and God accepted it and delivered them. And that's incredible, when you think about, it's just incredible. I was thinking about the testimony of C. S. Lewis. He calls himself the most reluctant convert in the history of Christendom. He was in one sense dragged kicking and screaming into the Kingdom of Heaven. These are his words, his own testimony, he said, "You must picture me alone in that room in Magdalen, night after night, feeling, whenever my mind lifted even for a second from my work, the steady, unrelenting approach of him whom I so earnestly desired not to meet. That which I greatly feared had come upon me at last. In the Trinity Term of 1929, I finally gave in, and I admitted that God was God, and [I] knelt and prayed [to him]. Perhaps, that night, the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England. I did not then see what was the most shining and obvious thing: the divine humility, which will accept a convert even on such [pathetic] terms. The prodigal son at least walked home on his own feet. But who can but duly adore that love, which will open the high gates to a prodigal which is brought in kicking, struggling, resentful, darting his eyes left and right in every direction for a chance somehow to escape?" Ray Ortlund commenting on this said that “C. S. Lewis is speaking for us all. We come to God reluctantly. We return to God reluctantly…. Isaiah 33 [then comes] out of a setting in which God's people were reluctantly turning back to Him” when they had nowhere else to turn. “Repentance was not their way of life,” they had not up to that point seen God as the fountain of all blessings, but only as a last resort. Repentance “was a last ditch effort to stave off [the impending] disaster. But God received them anyway!” That may be your circumstance today. It may be that God and life, providence, things that are going on in your life may be so pressing you that you think there's nowhere else to turn, but Jesus, then turn to Jesus! Isn't it amazing how he'll receive you, even on those terms? Turn to Jesus. I'm praying that the eyes of your heart will be enlightened, and you'll flee the wrath to come, and flee toward the pleasures to come, and turn to Jesus. And so we see in Isaiah 33, the circumstance. So what I'm gonna do in this sermon, is I'm gonna bring you quickly through all 24 verses, if that can be done. I'm gonna bring you through the whole chapter and just give you an understanding of these words in their setting: what was going on in Isaiah's day, what was going on with Assyria. But we're not gonna stay there long, we're going to float above the immediate circumstances, 'cause the words here point to the end, they point to eternity, the words point to hell and heaven, and to the grace of God. I. Woe to the Destroyer (vs. 1-6) So let's start in verses 1-6 with this “Woe, woe to the destroyer.” Look at verse 1, "Woe to you, O destroyer, you who have not been destroyed! Woe to you, O traitor, you who have not been betrayed! When you stop destroying, you will be destroyed; when you stop betraying, you will be betrayed." So here we have this prophetic woe. From Isaiah 28-31, there are five woes, one after the other. The first five, all of them, were given to Judah and Jerusalem, to the people of God, to Israel, to the Jews. Woe to you for your hearts being far from God, or to turning to Egypt for help and sending emissaries down to Egypt. One woe after the other given to the Jews. This one is different. This one is given to Assyria. It's a woe from God to Assyria, the destroyer who is coming. And why this woe? Because of their wickedness and their treachery, because of how they're treating their neighbors. They're giving a cup of destruction to their neighbors, and like it says in Habakkuk 2, "Now it is your turn, drink and be exposed. The cup from the Lord's right hand, the one that you are handing to your neighbors is gonna come back to you." Proverbs 26:27 says, "If a man digs a pit, he will fall into it; if a man rolls a stone, it will roll back on him." Whereas Jesus said in Matthew 7, "The measure you use is the measure you will receive." Or like we say in everyday speech, "What goes around comes around." How you're treating your neighbors is finally gonna come back to you. Now, Assyria was the destroyer, the vicious force of evil in the world at that time, utterly malicious, no mercy at all, cruel. And that's the way they treated their neighbors. But what of this treachery? This betrayal? What is this speaking of here? How were they betrayed? Well, they invaded the promised land, they began the invasion and they threatened Jerusalem. King Hezekiah responded by sending them 300 talents of silver and 30 talents of gold. Now, the 300 talents of silver were all the silver they had in the treasury. They emptied the treasury to send it to Sennacherib, king of Assyria. The 30 talents of gold they didn't have until they finally stripped it off of the temple itself and sent that to Sennacherib as well. The idea was to buy him off so he'll take the silver and gold and go back to Assyria. But once Sennacherib received that silver and gold, he told the emissaries that had brought it, "By the way, Jerusalem must completely surrender, or else I'll crush it." So what was the point of the silver and gold? There was an understanding that, "If we send this tribute to you, you'll leave us alone and let us continue." And so you can see in verses 7-8, the emissaries come back, the treaties, the messengers come back, they're weeping, they're wailing, the streets are deserted, the warriors are terrified, and the treaty has been broken. That's what's going on here. Those are the circumstances. And so God then speaks through the prophet Isaiah, a woe on Assyria for what they're doing. Up to this point, as I said, the woes have all been directed toward the people of God, they've all been directed toward Judah and Jerusalem and Israel. But God is saying now to Assyria, and He doesn't say, “Assyria, by the way.” This is one of those situations where I think he just lays out the shoe, and if the shoe fits, wear it. It's gonna be the same for Babylon, it's gonna be the same for every nation that treats their neighbors like this. What goes around is going to come around. And God is sovereign, and when their time, their time of destroying has come to an end, then they're going to get destroyed. "What goes around is going to come around. And God is sovereign, and when their time, their time of destroying has come to an end, then they're going to get destroyed." "There's a time for every purpose under heaven," it says in Ecclesiastes, "and God measures all things out," and so when Assyria's time at the center stage of human history is over, they're gonna get crushed and destroyed, up to this point, they've not been destroyed, but it's going to come on them. "And you O Sennacherib, you are going to be betrayed. You're going to be betrayed.” Now, the only way you can be betrayed is by someone that you have a relationship with, someone you have a connection with, and so God in his sovereignty saw to it that his own sons would assassinate him while he was worshipping in the temple of his god, Nisroch, back in his home country. Does God's arm reach that far? Yes, it does. It reaches farther than that, and God can move in the hearts of Sennacherib's own sons to kill him and betray him, and then flee and then another son took his place. And so this prophetic woe comes on Sennacherib and the Assyrian Empire as a whole. Now, in verse 2, we have Judah's response. Like I said, God has been pressing them. When times are good, we don't change, friends, it's just that simple. It's when things are miserable, when things are wretched, that suddenly from us come those prayers of repentance, from us come those pleas to God, and those yearnings that should have come more naturally. But look at verse 2, "O Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning, [and] our salvation in times of distress." This at last is the faith that Judah should have been showing all along. Shamefully up to this point, Judah has turned to everything, but God. They trusted in their silver and gold, sent it down to Egypt on the backs of camels and donkeys, trying to win their military power as an alliance to deliver them from Assyria. They trusted in that. They sent off that silver and gold to Egypt with high hopes, but that didn't work. And now in this case, as Sennacherib is on the doorstep of destroying Jerusalem, as he's coming nearer, they send off yet more silver and gold again with high hopes, "Maybe this will turn him aside and he'll just take it and go back." But that didn't work. Now, finally they turn to God. And God is so patient, God is so, in some sense, humble, to accept this kind of prayer in those circumstances. We could easily say something like, "Yeah, now you turn. Now, you come to me, now when things are so tough, finally you think about me. Well, I'm not gonna have it." But God doesn't do that. How gracious is He? And so look at the prayer, a cry that God would be gracious to them, "O [God], be gracious to us." A yearning that we not be treated as our sins deserve. That's what grace is all about. It's God's determination to not treat us as our sins deserve, but instead bless us with infinite blessings. "O [God, do that for us.] Be gracious to us." And then it says, "We long for you, we yearn for you, our hearts are attracted to you, we're only thinking about you right now. You are our only hope. You are our only thought. We yearn for you, we want to be close to you. And be our strength every morning, be our salvation in this time of distress." They're crying out to God. "A yearning that we not be treated as our sins deserve. That's what grace is all about. It's God's determination to not treat us as our sins deserve, but instead bless us with infinite blessings. " In verses 3-6, they speak words have rediscovered faith and trust in God. You think about these words in verses 3-6—if they thought these things were true, then why did they ever send emissaries down to Egypt, why did they try to buy off Sennacherib if they believed these things were true. "At the thunder of your voice, [O Lord,] the peoples flee; when you rise up, the nations scatter. Your plunder, O nations, is harvested as by young locusts; like a swarm of locusts men pounce on it." These are words of faith, of affirmation, of trust in God. "God can do anything, God can destroy the Assyrians, God can destroy any invaders that trouble us. When God rises up, the people flee." And they acknowledge, in verses 5-6, that God alone is their true treasure. Look at those wonderful verses, "The Lord is exalted, for he dwells on high; he will fill Zion with justice and righteousness." Verse 6 is a treasure verse, "He will be the sure foundation for your times; [he will be] a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure." So they acknowledge that the fear of the Lord is the key to everything. If they had only feared the Lord like this before, they wouldn't have been in this circumstance; they wouldn't have fled into idols; they wouldn't have broken the covenant; there wouldn't have been any need for the Assyrians to come as a rod of God's discipline and wrath; there would have been no need for it. The fear of the Lord at last, they realize is the key to every good thing. If I can just pause and say, it's my desire and prayer that the later words in this text will bring you to the fear of the Lord, the healthy fear of the Lord. There is a healthy fear of the Lord, there's a healthy fear of hell, and a yearning to please God, that is the beginning of wisdom, the Scripture says. And in verse 6, it says, that's the key to every treasure: the fear of the Lord. II. The King Arises (vs. 7-16) Now, in verses 7-16, we see the king arising. The king arises. Verse 7-9 is the immediate circumstance, I've already quoted, I'll just read it over quickly, "[Behold], their brave men [the warriors] cry aloud in the streets; the envoys of peace weep bitterly. Highways are deserted, no travelers are on the roads. The treaty is broken, witnesses are despised, no one is respected." So this is the immediate circumstance: The envoys have come back with the bad news, "Sennacherib is coming anyway." Verse 9 describes the effect of the Assyrian invasion on the local nations, "The land mourns and wastes away, Lebanon is ashamed and withers; Sharon is like the Arabah, [it's a desert], and Bashan and Carmel drop their leaves." It's just a time of being stripped by this wicked empire, as they come. So that's the present anguish, and that's the setting. Now, God says in verse 10, "It is time for me, at last, to rise up." “‘Now will I arise," says the Lord. "Now will I be exalted; now will I be lifted up." Now he rises up in action, he rises up sovereignly and with great power, but the exaltation comes in the hearts, the apprehensions of created beings as they see God rise up and act. As godly people see what God does and give him the praise and glory, and they exalt him in their own estimation, when they see the wonders of God. He speaks to the Assyrians, I think, in Verse 11, “You conceive chaff, you give birth to straw; your breath is a fire that consumes you." Speaking to the invader, saying, "Your plans are chaff, and you're gonna get burned up." Verse 12, “The peoples will be burned as if to lime.” That's the Gentiles, these Assyrians are gonna be burned as if to lime. “Like cut thorn bushes they will be set ablaze." And then a warning to the nations of the Earth, “You who are far away, hear what I have done; and you who are near, acknowledge my power!" So God desiring to be glorified in what he will do. He says, "The news is gonna go far. Everybody is gonna hear about this. And you nations, you should fear me, and you should submit to me." But now, in verse 14, we have this terrifying word, right in the middle, "The sinners in Zion are terrified; trembling grips the [hypocrites]: ‘Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?’" Who are these people who are crying this out? Well, they are in Zion, they're Jews, they're Jewish people. They're described as sinners, or hypocrites, they have no right relationship with God, and so it has been in every generation. There is a visible people of God, and in their midst, there are hypocrites that are only going along for the ride. They are the sinners in Zion. In their day, they would be Jews who did wicked things, who accepted bribes, and plotted murders, and committed adulteries, and ran after the idols. They were the wicked Jews who would not keep the covenant, who did not fear the Lord and thought nothing of him. And so the events surrounding Sennacherib's invasion will bring terror to them because they will not flee to God and find refuge in him, they will not find comfort in God. They're actually terrified not ultimately, of Sennacherib and the Assyrians, they're terrified of God—he is the consuming fire. And they're surprised by it. Trembling has seized them, has taken hold of them like a highway robber, like a bandit. They're surprised by this terror that suddenly come upon them; they were confident before, they weren't afraid of anything, but now suddenly terror has seized them, and they don't know how to escape, the sinners in Zion. And they'll find no refuge in God, that they will be destroyed, as we'll talk about it, Sennacherib conquered and destroyed 46 cities in Judah before coming to the walls of Jerusalem. Lots and lots of dead Jews, lots and lots of dead people. And so his wrath is not just on the destroyer who hasn't stopped destroying it; his wrath is on the sinners in Zion, as well as their end has come, and terror is gripping them. For God, it says, is a “consuming fire.” You remember the account in Exodus 24 of God coming down on Mount Sinai, and he came down in a cloud on Mount Sinai. And in Exodus 24:17, it says, "To the Israelites the glory of the Lord looked like a consuming fire on the top of the mount." So that was the appearance of the glory of God as it settled down on Mount Sinai. As God descended it was like a consuming fire, this cloud at the top of the mountain. Later in Deuteronomy 4, he says, "Be careful not to forget the covenant of the Lord your God that he made with you; [and] do not make for yourselves an idol in the form of anything the Lord your God has forbidden. For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God." So when the sinners in Zion are crying out, "Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire?" They're speaking of God. To me, the best natural picture of this is the sun. The sun is a raging inferno of nuclear power, it's a continual nuclear explosion on full display before our eyes every day, despite the fact that it's 93 million miles away, you can't look at it for very long or you'll go blind. You can't get near to it, as I mentioned in the sermon on this passage in Hebrews 12, NASA has sent a probe and the closest that they can get to it is 32 million miles away. As I mentioned at the time, a probe now can get eight times closer. Well, that's incredible. Now, they are four million miles away, and at four million miles away, it's 2600 degrees Fahrenheit—on the surface of the sun, 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Physicists estimated the center of the sun, 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. As God dwells in unapproachable light, so the sun is unapproachable heat. It's a picture of the wrath of God in hell. And who of us can dwell with that? Trembling has gripped the hypocrites in Zion, it has gripped the godless, and they are terrified. This is a consistent picture over and over in Scripture. John the Baptist speaking of Christ, he says, "His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering up the wheat into his barn [but] burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire." And as Jesus says in judgment, when he sits on his throne in heavenly judgment, he will say to those on his left, “Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” The text asked this question, who may dwell with that? Who can dwell with a God like that? A God who is a consuming fire? Who can dwell with everlasting burnings? Well, the text answers the question, verse 15, "He who walks righteously and speaks what's right, [he] who rejects gain from extortion and keeps his hand from accepting bribes, who stops his ears against plots of murder and shut his eyes against contemplating evil—this is the man who will dwell in the heights, [this is the one] whose refuge will be the mountain fortress.” Stepping back and looking at the whole of Scripture, the answer that the text gives is the perfectly righteous person may dwell with the consuming fire. That's the answer. Those that are perfectly righteous. The problem is we are combustible sinners. We are combustible sinners, and if we get near this consuming fire, we will be burned up. God said in Exodus 33:3, he said to Moses, "I will not travel with you anymore, you will go unto the land flowing with milk and honey alone without me, because if I continue to travel with you, I might destroy you." Do you remember that? I might destroy you, but yet at his calling into this mission, you remember what site it was that diverted him from caring for his father's sheep? When he was 80 years old, what did he see? He saw a miracle, he saw a miracle. He saw a consuming fire in the midst of a bush, but the bush wasn't getting consumed. And the text says in Exodus 3, it was the Angel of the Lord there. The radiance of God's glory, it's Jesus, who in the radiant glory was in the midst of a very combustible bush, and the bush wasn't getting burned up. So, that gives us some hope, doesn't it, that God through Christ can dwell in our midst and we not get burned up. So we have some early indications of the grace of God in Christ in the gospel. I'll talk more openly and directly about it at the end of the sermon, only the perfectly righteous can survive with this consuming fire. III. The Beauty of the King and His Kingdom (vs. 17-24) Now in verses 17-24, we have the beauty of the King and his kingdom, verse 17, the promise of the future, "Your eyes will see the king in his beauty and view a land that stretches afar." Here, Isaiah speaks of the blessedness of the righteous, those who not only can dwell with the consuming fire and with everlasting burning, not only that, but what they will see, the magnificence of what they will see—they will see the king in his beauty, and they will view the land as it stretches afar. Now, if any of you think he's talking here about Hezekiah, he's not. This is not the beauty of Hezekiah that's gonna be in view here, and so we must fly far above the immediate circumstances here to say what King will be so beautiful as to fill our eyes with his beauty, and what land will stretch afar that we will see at that time? I believe it can be none other than seeing Christ in his resurrection glory seated on his heavenly throne in the new heaven and new earth, the home of righteousness. Talk more openly about that in a moment. And in verses 18-19, "At last your former oppressors will be gone. You don't see them anymore." Praise God, hallelujah, they'll be gone! “In your thoughts, you will ponder," verse 18, "the former terror: ‘Where is that chief officer? Where is the one who took the revenue? Where is the officer in charge of the towers?’” Whatever happened to those people? Verse 19, "You will see those arrogant people no more, those people of an obscure speech, with their strange, incomprehensible tongue." Now that should tell us immediately who are talking about here, you remember plainly in Isaiah 28, how the people of Jerusalem and of Judah were mocking the prophetic word coming from Isaiah, remember that? They were mocking it, saying, “Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule; little here, little there.” Remember “Sav lasav sav lasav, kav lakav, kav lakav”, yada, yada, yada, yada. And God said, “Fine, fine. I gave you the grace of the prophetic word, I gave you the grace of the prophetic warning, and you didn't listen. I told you where the resting place would be, I told you where the place of repose would be, but you didn't listen, so I'm gonna talk to you in a different language. I'm gonna talk to you through the language of a foreign people who will come and speak their language in your streets. These are the Assyrians, these are the Babylonians, these are the Persians and the Greeks and the Romans. They're gonna come and speak their native tongue in your streets and in your promised land, and you'll hear what I have to say and I'll talk to you loud and clear through those people, those people of a strange speech with their incomprehensible tongue.” Yeah, but they'll come a day, according to Isaiah 33, that you won't see those people anymore, they'll be gone. All of the people that God in redemptive history used to chastise his people and to get them to hate their sins and to bring grieves and miseries into them, but not to harm them ultimately. They're captors, they are incarcerated, they're torturers, political officials, and others who use their power and their positions to crush the people of God—you're not gonna see those people anymore, whatever happened to them, whatever happened to that guy, think about people from Nazi concentration camp, whatever happened to that guard that used to whip us with that bull whip? Or the other guy who used to take out his side arm and just shoot people in the head for nothing? Whatever happened to that guy? The text says, he's burning in hell if he didn't repent and find grace in Christ, you'll not...you're not gonna see him anymore. You'll be free at last of your tormentors and your oppressors, you're not gonna see him ever again. Verse 20-21, instead, we have a vision of the heavenly Zion, city of our festivals. It says, "Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved; its sticks will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes be broken. There the Lord will be our Mighty One. It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams. No galley with oars will ride them, [and] no mighty ship will sail them." Now, as I've said before, Zion is the place where God dwells in fellowship with his people. It's the place that he puts his name there, and he dwells there with his people. Now, he did that symbolically by the shekinah glory, the glory cloud that came into the tabernacle, that came into the temple, and God saying, “I'm here in that sense,” in the Old Covenant. But there is a final version of Zion, what the book of Revelation calls the new Jerusalem, it's the city where God and man will dwell together in perfect unity and harmony. The first Jerusalem was destined to be destroyed, read about it in Mark 13. Remember how Jesus disciples were so impressed with the buildings, remember all that? "Oh, what an incredible city here, Jerusalem, do you see all these stones?” “Not one stone here will be left on another, every one will be thrown down.” That Jerusalem destined to be destroyed again and again. But I think the text refers to a final eternal Zion, an eternal Jerusalem. It says a peaceful abode, a peaceful place where you will live with no fear, no terror. No enemy will come. I think about the ships that come up the river, that was during the Viking era, they had those shallow draft boats and they come right up the Seine to Paris and burn it, and there was just no way you could...you never knew when they were gonna come and there was really no defense. And so here the idea is no ship will come and trouble that city, it's impossible for any siege to come any longer. Revelation 21, "[And] I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. [And] I saw the new Jerusalem, the Holy City, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying," and this is the essence of Zion here the statement, “‘Now the dwelling of God is with man.’" That's what Zion is. “‘Now the dwelling of God is with man, and he will live with them. And he will be their God, and they will be his people, and God himself will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there'll be no more death and mourning and crying and pain, for the old order of things has gone away.’" Verse 22 describes the perfection of the king's government, the perfection of the king's government. Verse 22, "For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver. The Lord is our king. It is He who will save us." I'll say more about that at the end. It's a perfect government, all of it concentrated in the hands of one man, Jesus. And we see the overwhelming blessings of the redeemed in Zion. Verse 23-24, 23 speaks to Assyria again, saying, "Your ship is destroyed, your besieging ship is destroyed." "Your rigging hangs loose: The mast is not held secure, [your] sail is not spread. Then an abundance of spoils would be divided, and even the lame will carry off plunder." So that's again, Assyria will be destroyed. Verse 24, "No one living in Zion will say, ‘I am ill’; and the sins of those who dwell there will be forgiven." IV. How This Chapter Preaches Christ and the Gospel All right. So I kinda kept my promise, I kind of quickly went through these 24 verses. How does this chapter preach the gospel of Jesus Christ? I just asked that every single chapter with Isaiah. Do you have any sense it might? I actually couldn't keep myself from some of the themes as we went through it the first time, but I wanna start with the clear depictions here in verse 14 of the terrors of hell. Terror of hell is clearly depicted here, it's spoken of as a surprise that comes upon the sinners in Zion. KJV does the best job of talking about the surprise aspect, usually like NIV, others have seizes, something that comes and seizes you. But there is definitely a surprise aspect KJV says, "The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?” Who are the sinners in Zion? In 1740, Jonathan Edwards, a pastor in Massachusetts, who was a tremendous leader of two waves of revival in Massachusetts, and a tremendous student of the revivals and a great theologian, philosopher, pastor. In between the two revivals, 1740, preached a single 75-minute sermon on Isaiah 33:14. I listened to it this week and it just brought chills down my back bone. An entire sermon on one verse. And the name of the sermon was “Sinners in Zion Tenderly Warned,” and the idea was that the revival had come to North Hampton in 1734, but not everyone was converted by it. And so he's preaching to people who there was just the expectation that they would come to church every week, it was just part of their culture in New England. You were gonna be at church, everybody was in church, but not everybody in church was converted, and the grace of God has so richly been poured out in their community, and yet there's a category of people that Edwards was terrified would go from listening to him preach ultimately to an eternity in hell, and he wanted to do everything he could warn them. And so he preached this sermon, “Sinners in Zion Tenderly Warned.” Well, let me talk to you a moment about the word tenderly. If you were to read that sermon or even more here it read to you, you would wonder where is the tenderness? I got the picture of one of those industrial washing machines at a laundromat, you know those big steel things, and that I've been thrown in it and tumbled around for about an hour, because he used every power of his intellect and imagination to think what it would be like to be in everlasting burnings and how terrifying it would be. So the tenderness is that you're getting words and not the reality right now—that's the tenderness, that makes sense? You get...today, you get words, you're not actually in hell. And so, what Edwards did is he said, “Make the most of this opportunity. Make the most of this day. Heed these warnings while you have time,” that's what he did with it. Now, these sinners in Zion, both in Isaiah's day and Edward's day and our day, these are people who are in some way associated with the visible people of God, but they are not regenerate, they have not been transformed by the grace of God. They go to church, but they are not genuinely converted. They are sinners among other people who have been converted. Why are they surprised by the terror? Because they never thought it would happen. Or if they thought it would happen, it wouldn't happen to them. Or they never imagined it would be that terrible. How terrible would it be? You say it quite plainly, words can't capture. You can't put it into words. And yet the scripture gives us words, it speaks again and again of fire or everlasting fire, and these sinners in Zion will be surprised, surprised to hear these words spoken of them, “Depart from me, you who are cursed into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” Surprised that it's referring to them. They never thought it would come to that. And then the terrible truly seize them. "Now, these sinners in Zion, both in Isaiah's day and Edward's day and our day, these are people who are in some way associated with the visible people of God, but they are not regenerate, they have not been transformed by the grace of God." Edwards put it this way, "When the soul is carried to hell, and there is tormented, suffers the wrath of the Almighty, and is overwhelmed and crushed with it, it will also be amazed with the apprehension of what yet still remains. To think of an eternity of this torment remaining, O how will it fill, and overbear and sink down the wretched soul! How will the thought of the duration of this torment without end cause the heart to melt like wax! How will the thought of it sink the soul into the bottomless pit of darkness and gloominess! Even those proud and sturdy spirits, the devils, tremble at the thoughts of that greater torment which they are to suffer at the day of judgment. So will it be for the poor damned souls of men. Edwards labored to heighten the sense of the everlasting burnings that this text describes. “The flames,” he says, “of a very great fire, as when a house is all on fire, give one some idea of the fierceness of the wrath of God. Such as the rage of the flames. And we see that the greater a fire is, the fiercer its heat in every part. And the reason is because one part heats up another. The heat in one particular place, besides the heat which proceeds out of the fuel in that one place is [actually] increased by the additional heat of the fire all around it. Hence we may conceive something of what the fierceness of that fire will be, when this visible world shall be turned into one great furnace. That will be a devouring fire indeed. [And] such will be the heat of it, that the apostle [Peter] says, “The elements will melt in the fervent heat,” 2 Peter 3:10. “Men can artificially raise such a degree of heat with burning glasses, as will with quickly melt the very stones and sand [and turn them to liquid]. As it is probable, the heat of that great fire which will burn the world, will be such as to melt [all] the rocks [of the world], and the very ground and turn them into some kind of a liquid fire, so that the whole world will probably be converted into a great lake, or liquid globe of fire, a vast ocean of fire, in which the wicked shall be tossed to and fro, having no rest, day or night, vast waves or billows of fire continually rolling over their heads. “But this will be only an image of that dreadful fire of the wrath of God, which the wicked shall at that time suffer in their souls. [For] we read in Revelation 19:15 of the ‘fierceness and wrath of Almighty God,’…an extraordinary expression, carrying a terrible idea of the future misery of the wicked. If it had been only said the wrath of God that would be expressed [terrible] and dreadful. If the wrath of a king is as the roaring of a lion, [then what would the wrath of God be]? But it's not only said the wrath of God, but the fierceness and wrath of God, or the rage of his wrath; and not only so, but the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.” It’s a piling up of phrases, one on top of the other? “And is it any wonder that fearfulness surprises their hearts when they see this about to be executed upon them?” Now, John Piper said about this, "I know of [not a single person] who has ever overstated the terrors of hell.” It can't be done. It's impossible with words to overstate this. I am not exaggerating. “We are meant," said Piper, "to tremble and feel dread. We are meant to recoil from the reality. Not by denying it, but by fleeing from it into the arms of Jesus, who died to save us from it." So flee the wrath to come, dear friends, flee it. Flee it. You're being tenderly warned right now, what's the tenderness? Temperature is pretty moderate in here, you're probably gonna eat a nice meal later on. The terror that pressed these sinners in Zion to tremble and all that was they saw it with their eyes when the Assyrians came to their town and started burning their own house. That's when they were afraid, but they were never afraid when Isaiah warned them that it would come. So the difference between the sheep and the goats, the difference between the wheat and the chaff is what you do at moments like this one right now. Does that make sense? 'Cause you don't see any of this with your eyes; you either believe it or you don't. And if you don't believe it, you're what the Bible calls an unbeliever, and if you do believe it, you're what the Bible calls a believer, and you will never see it happen to you. Praise God for that. And why is it worse for the sinners in Zion than for the sinners who weren't in Zion, why? Because to whom much is given, much will be required. The more you have, more knowledge you have of the Bible and still are lost, the worse it will be for you on judgment day. Do you understand that if you're raised in a Christian home and from that Christian home go to hell, it will be worse for you than if you've been raised in a pagan home. If you came and heard good preaching week after week and still from that situation, go unconverted into judgment day, it will be worse for you than if you'd never heard that preaching. That's why it's worse. Jesus said concerning Capernaum, they were worse off because they saw his miracles and didn't repent. It would be worse for you than on the day of judgment than for Sodom, and so I just speak to you tenderly, flee the wrath to come. Look at verse 6 again, "The fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure." Do you see that? The fear of the Lord is…what treasure here? Well, just at this point in the sermon, escape from the wrath to come. That's the treasure. Is that a treasure? Oh yes, that's a the treasure, that you wouldn't have to go through that. The fear of the Lord now by faith is the key to escaping and flee to Christ. Secondly, we have a clear depiction of the righteousness that Christ gives us to enable us to escape. "Who may dwell with everlasting burnings, who may escape this?" Verse 15, just let me sum up, "The perfectly righteous man." There's only been one of those. There's only been one of those, and that's Jesus Christ. He is the only perfectly righteous, law-abiding man, and the incredible grace of the gospel is that his righteousness, he offers you freely as a gift, and that if you will just simply believe in Him, you can receive perfect righteousness as a gift. And we need it. Why? Because in Romans 3, it says, "There is no one righteous, not even one, no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they've together become worthless. There is no one who does good, not even one." That's us. We are combustible, but Jesus means to give us what some preacher called an asbestos robe of righteousness to cover your combustible nature. So put on that perfect righteousness of Christ and trust in Him, 2 Corinthians 5:21, "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." And Romans 5:17 speaks of those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and the gift of righteousness, that they will reign in life through Jesus Christ. Thirdly, we have a clear depiction of the king in his beauty. Look at verse 17, "Your eyes will see the king in his beauty and view a land that stretches a far." Well, just like the terrors of hell, you will only see this one with eyes of faith. What will we see? We will see Jesus, we will see him in glory, we will see him seated on his heavenly throne in glory, and he will be, according to the text, beautiful. Now, I don't understand fully what that beauty will be like. The word beauty to me means it's attractive, it draws response from me. There are lots of different beautiful things in this world, lots of different beautiful sights that you can see, but all of that beauty had one source, and that is God through Christ, and you're going to see the perfection of beauty when you see Christ in his resurrection, glory seated on His throne. Right now, we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror dimly, an enigma I guess it would be a literalistic translation of that. Why? 'Cause all you get are gifted words, that's it, the words of the apostles and prophets. That's what you get. And of a pastor teacher. But someday, 1 John 3:2 says, "Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is." So this vision of Isaiah 33:17 has the greatest power of any vision you will ever see. When you as a redeemed person see it, you will instantaneously be transformed and made like Christ in every respect. How awesome is that? You will lose forever your sin nature, you will never again struggle with sin, that internal battle, you have Romans 7, sin living in me. It will be gone. You will love righteousness and hate wickedness as he does, and you will be transformed in the glory. You will be in a resurrection body, you will see the king in his beauty; and not only will you see the king in his beauty, you will see the perfection of a land stretching as far as the eye can see. And again, I can't describe it. I read about the account of the first white discoverer, if you wanna call it that, of Yosemite Valley. In 1851, there was a party of individuals that went in there and came out with a verbal description of the Half Dome and El Capitan, 3000 feet of rock formation, and the sun was setting. It was just glowing orange, red. The valley was breathtaking. And the man, his account is on the internet, you can read about it, 1851 Lafayette Bunnell is his name, said, “I can't put it into words. I'll just say this, see Yosemite and die.” It's that beautiful. I've just never seen anything that beautiful, now I could put, we have screens, I could put pictures of Yosemite up there, but here are the words to it, just the words. The new heavens and the new earth will be like that you will discover visual glories, such as you can scarcely imagine. Think of the most beautiful scenery you've ever seen and say there is nothing right now on earth that will be as beautiful as the resurrected earth, nothing. A land at last free from decay and from bondage, no longer groaning to be liberated, but now at last, brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God, and you're gonna see that land as it stretches a far. You'll see the king in his glory, and you'll see that land, and you'll see the new Zion, the New Jerusalem in all of its glory. And there at the center of that will be a perfect government. Verse 22, "The Lord [will be] our judge, the Lord [will be] our lawgiver, the Lord [will be] our king." Some other time I may talk about the separation of powers in the American government: executive, legislative, judicial. We could talk about that. It's very clever, very interesting. All in one verse, right here, Isaiah 33:22. The Lord is our law giver, That's a legislative. The Lord is our judge. That's a judicial. The Lord is our king. Executive. Why do did the Founding Fathers separate the powers? Because power corrupts, and they thought it's best to keep it separated, so president can veto, and the Congress can override the veto, and back and forth, that goes on and on. Checks and balances. I think it's wise, given the corruption of the human heart. But you know Jesus doesn't need that, because his power doesn't corrupt him at all, and he will be everything there, he will be the perfect government, the government will be on his shoulders, and it will be perfect. And finally, we see clear depictions of the blessings of eternal life now and forever, full forgiveness of sins. The very end, in verse 24, no one living in Zion will be sinful. All of those that live in Zion will have their sins forgiven. Secondly, freedom from the terror of everlasting burning. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Third, the gift of imputed righteousness in verse 15, walking righteously in Jesus. Fourth, the delights of seeing Christ in the new heavens and the new earth, and dwelling and Zion with God, free from death, the delights of being free, fifthly, from Satan and demons and wicked people, you'll see them now more. You will see the king in his beauty but you won't see those tormentors anymore. They'll be gone forever. And neither will you say, “I am ill.” “No one living in Zion will ever say, ‘I am ill.’” Why? Because death and mourning and crying and pain will be gone forever. V. Application So what application I just would urge you to come to Christ, trust in Him, and believe in Him. Today is the day of salvation. Look to Him. Marvel at what God has done for you. Know for certain that you are not one of the sinners in Zion, and if you're not sure whether you are or not, don't leave this place, come and talk to me, talk to one of the elders. Say, "I don't know, I don't wanna be one of the sinners in Zion. How can I know if I'm born again?" Make your calling and election sure. Don't wonder about it. But if you know that you're forgiven, then give glory and thanks to God, that's the greatest gift that God has ever given you. A full salvation in Christ. Close with me in prayer. Father, I thank you for Isaiah 33. It's impossible to do it justice with words, but Lord, I pray that these really poor words that I've spoken would be sufficient to jar someone alert. I pray if there's any person here who has been going through the motions, sham, outwardly, not really genuinely converted, that they would fear the Lord and flee to Christ. And Lord, I pray for all of us who do know that we're sinners, but we've been forgiven, that we would with trembling with joy, kiss the son, and believe in him, and know him, and wait to see him, the beauty of Christ, that our eyes would be filled in the meantime, serve him with every strength of our being by the power of the Spirit, in Jesus' name. Amen.
