Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.” Matthew 25:31–32Throughout history, rulers have vied for power, and countless wars have been fought over ambitions for political control. Even in modern democracies, there is constant strife over who should lead. Yet, in the end, there will be only one King Who will sit upon His glorious throne forever.Today's Gospel reminds us that although civil governance plays an important role in our earthly lives, we must never lose sight of the One Eternal King. When Jesus returns in all His glory, accompanied by the entire Celestial Hierarchy of Heaven, all justice and righteousness will be fully established. Each of us will appear before Him as Judge. At that moment, and for eternity, only one thing will matter: How did I live while on earth?Too often, the temptation to live as though this life is an end in itself dominates us. When faced with injustice, we may respond with anger. When our preferred political party is not in power, we can become disillusioned, considering it a tragedy. Many are seduced into believing that accumulating more material goods leads to greater happiness, and poverty or simplicity is undesirable, a sign of failure. Yet, in the end, one thing alone will matter and one thing alone will endure—charity.In the passage above, Jesus uses the image of a shepherd separating sheep from goats. This familiar image to the people of His time depicts the end of the age. During the day, a shepherd often allowed sheep and goats to graze together, just as God permits all people—the righteous and the unrighteous—to live in this world together. But at night, the shepherd would separate the sheep from the goats. Sheep, being more docile, obedient, and faithful, represent those who live according to God's will. Goats, often more unruly and independent, symbolize those who live selfishly.The contrast is striking. Faith, hope, and charity are not abstract ideas; they are supernatural virtues that win for us a place in the eternal Kingdom of God. Self-centered living, worldly ambitions, and unruly passions extinguish these virtues, leading to God's judgment and condemnation at the end of time.Knowing these truths should instill vigilance and hope in us. Vigilance will help us remain faithful members of God's true Kingdom, living out charity toward God and others. Hope will inspire us to live with an eternal perspective. Worldly ambitions will pass with this life. But if our hope is set on the eternal Kingdom, it will lead us to holiness and a deeper union with God.Reflect today on the eternal promises our Lord makes to us. At the end of time, He will separate the sheep from the goats. We must never forget that while God is perfectly merciful, He is also perfectly just. If His mercy is not embraced through repentance and conversion, His justice must be satisfied in the end. But if His mercy is embraced, it perfectly fulfills justice, and we will live with Him as our King and Shepherd forever. My merciful and just King, at the end of time, You will return with all Your angels to judge the living and the dead, establishing Your eternal Kingdom. I pray that I will be counted among Your sheep. Please grant me the grace of humility and repentance so that I may grow in love for You and in charity toward all. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Sharon Mollerus, CC BY 2.0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Audio taken from the live teaching "When The Shepherd Abuses The Sheep - God's Plan For The Sexually Wounded" - https://youtu.be/6PtclQ5UUXsA special message from Tiff: I dedicate this teaching to all who have ever sought hope and healing in the church, but instead, you were drawn into darkness and depravity by those you had once looked up to and admired. Abuse says you are ruined, the gospel says you are redeemed.In my 5 decades of ministry, I have heard the cries and confessions of too many Christians who suffered spiritual and sexual abuse by a pastor, priest, youth pastor, or spiritual leader. Those in ministry who are called to protect, and insure safe places, have instead betrayed a holy trust, defiled innocence, shattered faith, and misused the name of God. For all who are still hiding in the dark shadows of sexual abuse and spiritual betrayal, today I remind you that Jesus, the Good Shepherd, does not abandon His lambs, especially those who are wounded.Here are 3 biblical truths that can bring healing to your wounds:1 - The Bible Condemns Sexual Abuse2 - God Cares For The Abused3 - God Heals The Wounds Of The BrokenKey Scripture used in today's teaching: Isaiah 61:1-3Other Scriptures referenced: Ephesians 5:3-5; Jeremiah 23:1 & 2; Psalm 72:12-14; 1 John 2:1-6; Psalm 56:8Unless otherwise noted, most Scripture will be read from the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible.Other teachings referenced in today's video:Sexual Scandal - God's Plan for Broken Leaders - https://youtu.be/tnsqjkavojMIf you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!

A Northland farmer says more than 250 of his family's sheep have been killed by roaming dogs, and he's thinking of quitting sheep farming if the killing can't be stopped. Luka Forman reports.
Let's talk about the question I keep getting: “Why on earth are you starting a farm?” This wasn't random. It wasn't a midlife crisis. And it definitely wasn't me abandoning online business. It was a strategic hedge. If AI is going to disrupt everything (and it will), then I want leverage inside of it — and I also want something completely outside of it. We already owned 15 acres with $300K+ of farming infrastructure. At some point you have to ask: if we're not using it, why are we here? So we chose a premium niche — Valais Blacknose sheep — and built it like I build everything else. LLC. Bank account. Registry. Mentor. Domains. SEO. Audience. Long game. This is not a quick cash play. It's legacy, optionality, tax strategy, land stewardship, and honestly… joy. I'm not leaving funnels. I'm just putting one leg in digital and one leg in analog. If you've ever felt the pull to build something that feels future-proof and a little wild, this one's for you. And if you want to watch the sheep journey in real time, come hang out on Instagram.

Thirty four tonnes of illegal meat and animal products were intercepted over the course of January, at Dover docks. The Port Health Authority says it's the highest monthly total they have ever seized. Meanwhile, also in January, Suffolk Coastal Port Health Authority discovered 300 kilos of illegal pork at Harwich. It was found wrapped in foil and packed into suitcases. The chair of the Commons Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs Committee, Alistair Carmichael, gives his reaction.We're talking about farm vets all this week on the programme. Until 1999 UK veterinary practises had to be owned by vets but now 60 per cent of practises are owned by companies - some of them large. In Staffordshire, farm vet Ellen Widdowson decided to set up her own independent practice, with a colleague, after her previous employer was bought by a corporate group. The Home Office has said it'll no longer give special temporary access to the UK for overseas sheep shearers. The National Association of Agricultural Contractors says the concession is essential to the farming industry, and the decision could compromise animal welfare. The association estimates the 75 or so overseas shearers, who mainly come from New Zealand and Australia, would shear up to 1.5 million sheep during their time in the UK.Presenter: Caz Graham Producer: Sarah Swadling
This week on The Last Gay Conservative Podcast, we connect three seemingly unrelated stories that reveal the same dangerous pattern: performance replacing governance.• American politicians campaigning in Munich• A Senate candidate's radical past rebranded mid-campaign• Congress fumbling the Farm Bill• A federal judge redefining what counts as a constitutional burdenDifferent arenas. Same instinct: control optics, adjust definitions, avoid friction.When diplomacy becomes content, campaigns become cosplay, and courts start redefining thresholds, the guardrails don't collapse loudly — they move quietly.This episode breaks down:✔ Why international political theater carries real geopolitical risk✔ The danger of “wolf in sheep's clothing” candidates✔ What's really inside the new Farm Bill✔ How subtle judicial redefinitions shift power✔ Why performance culture erodes accountabilityThis isn't about outrage. It's about incentive structures.

Many expecting mothers skip past information about postpartum mood changes, assuming it won't apply to them. Especially when they're anticipating one of life's happiest moments and have no history of depression. But baby blues and postpartum depression are common complications of birth that deserve attention during pregnancy, not after symptoms appear. The statistics are striking: baby blues affect 50-80% of new mothers, while one in seven experiences postpartum depression. Research also shows postpartum depression rates have been climbing over recent decades, making this information more relevant than ever. This episode covers how to identify symptoms of baby blues versus postpartum depression, where and how to get help, and evidence-based strategies you can use to protect your mental health during the postpartum period. Whether you have a history of depression or not, understanding these conditions empowers you to recognize warning signs early and take action when it matters most.

Matthew 15:21-28 The post The Dog That Spoke like a Sheep appeared first on Pillar Baptist Church.
This series has focused on God's voice in six specific ways that we know he speaks to people, but we can't ever take it for granted that God does and has spoken to us most strongly in the Bible itself. It might happen more than you think that you're waiting for God to speak to you through one of the means we've discussed in the series already but you might not realize the answer you seek is already there waiting for you in Scripture. In this message, Pastor Joel unpacks how Scripture is God's word and how it has a power to it that is unique among books to deconstruct and cultivate our hearts and minds. He also talks about several important ways to discern the voice of God in Scripture.

Sheep Without a Shepherd Ther readings and Gospel present . . . . . . the shared human experience of being overwhelmed by responsibility and need. King Solomon, faced with ruling a vast people, does not ask for power, wealth, or long life, but humbly asks God for the wisdom to discern what is truly right. His prayer pleases the Lord because it flows from humility and a desire to serve well rather than to benefit himself. This theme continues in the Gospel, where the apostles return from ministry exhausted and surrounded by endless demands. Jesus invites them to withdraw and rest, yet the crowds follow. When to Entrust the Rest to the Lord Instead of placing the burden back on the apostles, Jesus steps forward as the true Shepherd, caring for the people while his disciples rest. The lesson is clear: human beings are limited, and only God can attend to every need. True wisdom lies in knowing when to act and when to entrust the rest to the Lord. The Homily concludes by applying this truth to the Eucharist. In a world of constant distraction and obligation, worship is a sacred space where believers are invited to set aside their burdens, allow Christ to shepherd them, and receive renewal. The needs of the world will wait; for this moment, the Lord himself provides rest and restoration. Hear more in this Meditation Media. Listen to Sheep Without a Shepherd ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gospel Reading: Mark 6: 30-34 First Reading: 1 Kings 3: 4-13 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Art Work The Good Shepherd: Spanish Artist: Bartolomé Esteban Murillo: 1660 The Good Shepherd is an oil on canvas painting, now residing in the Prado Museum in Madrid ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why was this image selected: Murillo's tender depiction of Christ gently guiding his sheep visually embodies the Gospel scene where Jesus sees the crowd as “sheep without a shepherd.” The calm authority and compassion of Christ reflect his role as the one who carries the burden so others may rest.

In Episode 2, State of Delaware v. Thomas J. Capano, Part 1, Lisa and Kyle looked at the case against Thomas Joseph Capano. On June 27, 1996, Anne Marie Fahey, the scheduling secretary for Delware Governor Thomas Carper, went to dinner with Thomas J. Capano, a local attorney and the son of a prominent real estate developer in Wilmington, DE. The last time anyone saw Annie alive was at the restaurant in Philadelphia. After a lengthy joint state and federal investigation, in 1997, Capano's brother, Gerry, admitted that he'd helped his brother dump Annie's body in the Atlantic Ocean. In Part 1, Lisa and Kyle talked about the investigation, Capano's 1998 trial, his conviction on 01/17/1999 and the outcome of his direct appeal.

God speaks to us through many styles of communication, but perhaps none is so common as what is often called the still, small voice: a voice that comes to us like a thought in our head but that we can recognize to as a thought from God. We see this voice used in the famous story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19, and Paul talks about it in 1 Corinthians 2. It signifies a closeness to us from God that indicates his great love for us and desire for intimacy. In this message Pastor Joel explains how this voice works and gets really practical about how we can distinctly tell God's voice apart from the other thoughts in our head.

In the second installment of "The Sermon for the Mounted," we continue through Matthew 5 to uncover what Jesus really meant when He called His followers the "salt of the earth" and the "light of the world." We live in a "lazy-boy world" where salt is just a cheap condiment, but in Jesus' day, it was essential for survival. This episode challenges us to check our own "flavor"—are you truly salty, or are you a "stud horse" that turned out to be a 2x4? We discuss the non-negotiable nature of identity in Christ, why "hiding your light" under a basket is not an option for the believer, and how your good deeds are actually just about making God look good to the people in your own house. Key Topics Covered: Salt in a Lazy-Boy World: Rediscovering the immense value and preserving power of the believer. The Authenticity Test: You are either salt or you aren't—you can't buy a stud horse and accept a 2x4. Sheep vs. Goats: The gravity of Jesus' separation of the "salty" from the "unsalty." Light of the World: Why your light is meant for your "house" (family, work, friends) first. Good Deeds: It's not about saving yourself; it's about showing God's glory.
