EPISODE 86 - “ANNA MAY WONG: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” - 5/5/2025 Anna May Wong was once the most famous Chinese woman in the world. The trailblazing actress, philanthropist, and fashion icon appeared in over 60 films and was a celebrated star, yet, at the time, she was not allowed to kiss a Caucasian man on screen, which limited the roles she could take, and she was not allowed to buy a house in Beverly Hills. A strange dichotomy, indeed. In recent years, she has enjoyed a much-deserved resurgence. Known as a Trailblazer and a cultural icon, she paved the way for generations of Asian and Asian American actors by proving that talent and perseverance could transcend racist casting conventions. Her life and career continue to influence conversations about diversity, representation, and the politics of race in Hollywood. This week, she is our Star of the Month.

Ephesus was a city whose economy depended on trade. It was frequently visited by people wishing to see and experience one of the seven wonders of the world of their day known as the Temple of Artemis/Diana. The economy, culture, and ethics of Ephesus all centered on the goddess of Diana and the temple built in her honor. The temple was supported by 127 giant pillars believed to have been given as gifts by 127 different kings. The temple housed many priests and priestesses who operated under a castrated male who functioned as the high priest. The male priests were in charge of offering the sacrifices to Diana, which also included human sacrifice. The female priests were unmarried women given the responsibility to be channels of worship to Diana which was performed through intercourse of any male wishing to worship Diana with her priestesses. You can see why worship in the temple of Diana was so popular. Because the worship of Diana was the main religion in Ephesus, ritual prostitution was a dominant feature of the religious atmosphere in Ephesus. Spirits, we know as demons, frequently possessed the priestesses as well as the worshiper which should come to be no surprise, for the Bible says: that the things Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God (1 Cor. 10:20). Anytime an offering is given to an idol, it is an offering given to a demon not merely an image Diana was no exception. When the apostle Paul stopped in Ephesus to preach, the gospel disrupted the worship of the goddess of Artemis/Diana as people in the city heard the good news about Jesus Christ and gave their lives to Him. So profound was the gospels impact upon the culture of Ephesus that some who made their living off the worship of Diana expressed their great concern: in almost all of Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable number of people, saying that gods made by hands are not gods at all. Not only is there danger that this trade of ours will fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be regarded as worthless, and that she whom all of Asia and the world worship will even be dethroned from her magnificence (see Acts 19:2328). Paul spent over two years in Ephesus where God used him to establish the same church to which he would write the epistle to the Ephesians years later, while in prison. The city of Ephesus was a very scary place full of demonic activity, full of women who were held as sex slaves, full of all kinds of perverts seeking to get cheap thrills under the guise of religion, radical feminists who distained the existence of men, public baths, and bathrooms, where modesty was considered taboo, all of which were ruled by a demon posing to be a free-spirited goddess. It is in this city that a church was birthed, cultural norms challenged, and lives transformed. What you also need to know is that years before Paul brought the gospel to Ephesus, he tried to prevent its spread because he was convinced Christianity had to be destroyed. Of his former life as a pharisee, Paul wrote in Philippians 3, If anyone else thinks he is confident in the flesh, I have more reason: circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless (Phil. 3:46). Paul approved of the stoning of Stephen, who was sentenced to death because of his outspoken faith in Jesus (see Acts 7). Regarding his salvation and faith in Jesus, Paul wrote to Timothy (who would eventually become the pastor of the church in Ephesus): It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost (1 Tim. 1:15). What does it Mean to be a Christian? Fred Sanders, in his masterful book, The Deep Things of God, wrote of the gospel, The gospel so outstrips our created measurements that it can be measured only against something as immense as God himself. Sanders further comments, There is one place in Scripture where this sheer greatness of the gospel is most profusely described: the blessing with which Paul opens the epistle to the Ephesians.[1] In the weeks to come, we will plumb the depths of Ephesians 1:1-14, but for now, I only want to show you who you are if you are a Christian and who you can be, by the grace of God, if you are not. The Christian is Saved by the Will of God (v. 1) In the very first sentence to these Christians surrounded by some of the darkest evils, Paul attributes his salvation and apostleship to the will of God. The stoning of Stephen and his part in the imprisonment and persecution of Christians was not too much for the grace of God to overcome. In fact, a survey of the Bible will show you that when it comes to the will of man and the will of God, it is the will of man to run from God and it is only because of will greater than our own that God is able to pursue us and find us. The Christian has the Grace and Peace of God (v. 2) Before salvation, Paul and the Ephesian Christians stood before a holy God guilty, awaiting a judgment under the wrath of God, and the same can be said of you and me. The Bible says, because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God (Rom. 2:5). But now, because of what Jesus accomplished, the Christian has received the grace and peace of God. The Christian has the Blessing of God (v. 3) What the Ephesian Christians had before Paul brought the gospel to them was wrath. In fact, Paul describes what it was that they had before they met Jesus in the next chapter: And you were dead in your offenses and sins, in which you previously walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air we too all previously lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath (Eph. 2:1-3). However, because of the saving work of Jesus, the Christian has received, every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. The Christian is Saved by God to be Holy and Blameless Before God (v. 4) Paul was committed to the idol of his religious legalism while the Ephesians were indulged in their worship of Diana; both were far from God, yet it was God who rescued them from their idols and from their sin. Why did God save Paul and those who made up the Ephesian Church? Why did he save any of us? Well, verse 4 answers that question for us: that we would be holy and blameless before Him. God saved you to change you, and that change is moving you closer and closer to holiness and blamelessness. The Christian is Made a Son/Daughter of God (v. 5) Before Jesus, the Christian was a child of devil (1 John 3:7-10) and a child of wrath (Eph. 2:3). But through Jesus, the Christian is adopted, as sons and daughters. As a son and a daughter, you who once stood under a wrath deserved, now stand as a child of God with all the rights and privileges of a God who now takes pleasure in you! Because you are a child of God, our inheritance is no longer condemnation, but the riches of the glory of His inheritance (v. 18). The Christian is Favored by God (v. 6) According to verse 6, the Christian is favored by God. But why is the Christian favored by God? The Christian is favored by God because of the Beloved. So, who is the Beloved? The Beloved is the Son of God. The NET Bible rightly translates verse 6 this way: to the praise of the glory of his grace that he has freely bestowed on us in his dearly loved Son. So, what this means dear Christian, is that the only reason why you are favored by God is because you are now in His Son, Jesus Christ. You are favored not because of anything you have done but because of everything that Jesus has already done on your account and on your behalf! The Christian is Forgiven by God (v. 7) You who once stood condemned by God now stand forgiven through the Son. You have been redeemed through the blood of Christ for the forgiveness of all your sins. The forgiveness of your sins through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus is owing only to the immeasurable riches of the grace of God. Lord, I did not freely choose youTill by grace you set me free;For my heart would still refuse, Had your love not chosen me. The Christian is Rich in the Grace of God (v. 8) If you are a Christian, you have redemption through Jesus and nothing owning to yourself! If there was or is any confusion as to what it was that caused a Holy God to look down upon you with favor for the purpose of redeeming you, it is simply this: We have redemption through His blood according to the riches of His grace. In what way did we received His grace and how did the Almighty distribute His grace? He lavished his grace on us (v. 8)! The Christian has Been Permitted to Know God (v. 9) When it comes to knowing God, we are told, the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they will not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ (2 Cor. 4:4). Furthermore, the Bible informs us that, a natural person [sinner] does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. (1 Cor. 2:14). So how does a person come to know the will of God? Only through Jesus according to the good pleasure of God. The Christian has a Future with God (v. 11a) The One you sinned against, the One before Whom you once stood against in arrogance, the One you were blinded to, the One before heaven and earth has no place to hid and recoils before His infinite holiness (Rev. 20:11), and of whom the angles declare: Holy, holy, holy is the LORD God Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come. (Isa. 6:3; Rev. 4:8), you, Christian, are now known and favored by! This is why Jesus said, My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Fathers hand (John 10:27-29). The Christian has the Security of God (v. 13) You, Christian, who was once dead in your sins (Eph. 2:1-3) and are now alive in Christ (2:4), are sealed by the Holy Spirit. This means that the One who holds you in His hand will keep you in His hand, and according to verses 13-14, He has given you His Spirit as a seal which serves as a down payment of more to come! Dont you ever forget the words of our savior dear Christian: I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Fathers hand (John 10:28-29). The Christian is Treasured by God (v. 14) Finally, you who were once far off, spiritually dead, and hostile towards God are now treasured by God. The apostle Peter put it this way: But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a Holy nation, a people for Gods own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Pet. 2:9). One way to translate verses 13-14 from the Greek is this way: In Jesus, you also having heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the initial installment of our inheritance, until the redemption of His adopted children, who were purchased to be His treasured possession to the praise of His glory. Conclusion So, who are you Christian? You are saved by the will of God. You have the grace and peace of God. You have the blessing of God. You are redeemed to be holy and blameless before God. You are a son/daughter of God. You are favored by God. You are forgiven by God. You are rich in the grace of God. You now know God. You have a future with God. You have the security of God. You are treasured by God. Who are you? If you have placed your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, you are a Christian! So, I leave you with only two questions. First, how did God save you? He saved you through Jesus Christ; this is why the apostle Paul used the phrase in Christ, in Him, and through Him ten times in just fourteen verses. Second, why did God save you Christian? God did it for the praise of His glory. And he uses that phrase at the end of his explanation of the Fathers role in your salvation (vv. 3-6), at the end of his explanation of the Sons role in your salvation (vv. 7-12), and at the end of the Holy Spirits role in your salvation (vv. 13-14). Amen. [1] Fred Sanders. The Deep Things of God (Wheaton, IL: Crossway; 2017), p. 105.

Rabbi Kalish @ Camp Sulam!
Do you know why the Lord has me place these colorful backgrounds on here? Its because HE WANTS THE TRUTH TO STAND OUT- but I also believe that God knew that many of HIS TRUE BELIEVERS would be drawn to Himself like the children that He made them to be. And if you don't know anything about the Lord: He said NOT going to withhold HIS children from Him……. So He is using things that draw out the CHILD IN YOU back to Himself……And I believe God is fed up with the religious Pharisees trying to bargain with his true children trying to convince them that they have to perform for man in order to be loved when MAN WAS NEVER GOD! Nor does man have the right to pretend to be something he never was, never will be, as Man is a CHILD who can become a SON/DAUGHTER of the king- BUT ONLY IF THEY CHOSE TO GROW UP IN JESUS- & IN HIS WAYS…..and THEN PRACTICE THEM!! Because God has heard the religious right sing “there's room at the cross for you” yet in your hearts YOU religious people never meant it. So now, God is going and finding a people group who really mean it because He's bringing His people back home- BACK TO HIMSELF- BACK TO LOVE!DO you remember years ago when the prophets began saying: PHAROAH- LET GODS PEOPLE GO!Well- God wasn't talking to the world, HE WAS TALKING TO RELIGIOUS LEADERS who held Gods people hostage!

I want you to imagine a group of travelers, weather worn, tired, ready to settle down for the evening. It's been a long day of walking and though they can see a city just ahead on the horizon they decide to set up camp for the night, along the roadside, with the aim to reach the city the next day. Sun sets, the stars are out, it's quiet, this weary group of travelers are quickly asleep.But the next morning they're awaken to the crashing of a cymbal, the thunder of drumbeats, the vibration of the ground caused by a thousand marching footsteps along that dry, desert road. What's all the commotion? What's all the noise? Is it war? Is it disaster? Is it chaos? Is it catastrophe?They look up to a sea of people heading toward them, they're smiling, and they're singing. Can you imagine the bewilderment you might feel from waking up to such a sight? The slap-in-the-face type startle from opening your eyes to a scene like that? It'd make you want to pause time and just say, “Hold on a second, give me a minute to get my wits here! Just give me a moment to catch up!” And you're motioning to this smiling sea of people in front to you, “timeout, timeout”, but your voice is crowded out by their own. They're sound, and their song, is coming your way whether you are ready or not.That's, I think, what opening up to Psalm 47 is supposed to feel like. This Psalm seems designed to come firing right out of the gate. It provides you with no warm-up. You open it up and like a current it grabs ahold and pulls you in and takes you along for a journey.Worship (No explanation Needed)“Clap your hands, all peoples!” Those are the first words of this Psalm! It's the wake-up call. “Shout to God with loud songs of Joy!” It's an on-the-spot command. This Psalm demands your participation. “Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of Joy!” Worship God (period).As you hear that, you might, like the opening scene with the group of travelers, respond with questions. Why are we clapping our hands right now? Why are we shouting to God with loud songs of joy now? These are context questions. Simply asking what God did that we're responding to him in such a way? Like what just happened?It's like the guy at the football game who leaves his seat in the stadium to go buy a quick hot dog from the concessions. He's mid-swipe of his credit card and hears the crowd roar and runs out there to take a look, “What'd I miss, did we kick a field goal, score a touchdown, recover a fumble?” That's what we're doing here, responding to the command with questions that's help us get our context.And it makes sense for us to do so, for often in the Old Testament this kind of worship, especially in the form of song, is done in response to something remarkable that God has just done — like God's rescue of his people out of Egypt, which prompts the song of Moses. And so we're asking, is that what verse one here, “Clap your hands, shout to God with loud songs of joy” is referring to, is it referring to some other events, what's going on?Asking context questions like these are generally a good thing for us to do as readers of the Bible. We want to look for detail, we want to dig to find out what's happening in the text. But note how we keep framing the questions, “What did God do?”This question betrays one of the fundamental ways our sin has messed us up, for we assume that if God is being worshipped, let alone being worshipped with clapping of hands and loud shouts of joy, then that must mean that he did something to elicit such a response. That's the way we think because that's the way we, in our sin, often relate to God. God, and who he is as God, is a small thing to us. Stale. Humdrum. Perhaps his God-ness, at times, may stir up a mild form of worship from us, might prompt a mellow current of joy within us, but it's his actions, his miracles, on our behalf, these are the things that really get us going.So when we hear this grand call to worship, followed by verse 2, “For the LORD, the Most High, is to be feared, a great king over all the earth,” We might think, “Oh, is that all? Like the thought of God just falls flat for us… We were expecting something just a bit more attention-grabbing than just him. If that's us this morning then I believe a good piece of counsel for us would be to go over to Isaiah 6, and see how Isaiah — a human being just like you and me — reacted when he saw God, just God, being there, as the heavens opened to the sight of the one who had told Moses no one shall see my face and live. The one whom the apostle John would see and fall down on his face as though dead, the one before whom the mighty, heavenly Seraphim cover their faces and ever sing for joy, “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” if we were to see what he saw we would think ourselves insane and unfit to live for asking such a question as, “What did God do to elicit our worship?” We would be, like Isaiah, every one of us, bowed down to the ground saying, “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips” for what? What does Isaiah say next? “Woe is me…for my eyes have seen the king!” He merely saw him. Saw God, just God, being there. — That is the immeasurable awesomeness of our God. That's the overwhelming power of his mere presence. That's the other-worldly beauty, value, splendor, and majesty of our King!And the Psalmist will tell us more about this God, he will retell in the ensuing verses the works of God in our world, but lest the actions of God shine brighter in our hearts than the person of God, the Psalmist writes, “For the LORD, the Most High, is to be feared, a great king over all the earth.”That's why we're being called to worship him right now. That's why we're being called to shout to him in joyous praise. Because he is God. His greatness is immeasurable, his power is uncontainable, his wisdom is unfathomable, and his value is infinite, he is God! He is the LORD, He is the Most High, He is the great king over the earth, and He is to be feared. Worship God for He is God.The Psalm could end right after that and that'd be just fine. There'd be no problem with that. We need no further explanation or further reason to worship this king.A Local TurnAs it is, however, having set this foundation — God is King — the Psalmist makes a drastic transition from looking upon God on a scale that transcends the universe, to narrowing the scope to God and his actions in a certain time, on behalf of a certain people. The text reads, “He (God) subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet. He chose our heritage for us, the pride of Jacob whom he loves.”It's a reference to the Israelites following their entrance into the land of Canaan. As you might recall, the land of Canaan had been promised to Abraham and his descendants, but following their exile in Egypt, there journey through the desert, and there crossing of the River Jordan, Abraham's descendants, the Israelites, had arrived in Canaan to find that it was still a land flowing with milk, and honey, and mighty nations. But, as the book of Joshua notes, and this Psalm echoes, God would subdue those nations. He'd place them under the feet of these Israelites. From Jericho and onward the land of Canaan would become the heritage of the people of Israel.Fast forward a bit to the time of King David, when he brought the ark of the covenant up to Jerusalem. 2 Samuel 6 recounts this event, saying, “David danced before the LORD with all his might. (He) and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and with the sound of the horn.” Again, the Psalmist now seems to be echoing this event, verse 5 of Psalm 47, “God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.” You see that. Interestingly enough, The Hebrew of “sound of the horn” in 2 Sam. 6, and the Hebrew of “sound of a trumpet” in Psalm 47 is the same from one to the other.So the Psalmist has narrowed the scope here, echoed these two major events in the life of Israel — God conquering the enemies of Israel and delivering to them a land as their heritage. God being celebrated as King through the Ark of the covenant and its entrance into Jerusalem.And you might think, “Okay, I think I can see the connection here, the general claim about God's kingship in the world has been made in verses 1-2 (Worship God for he is God), and now we're digging into Israel's history to see proofs of that claim. We might paraphrase, “Yahweh is the Most High, to be feared, a great king over all the earth…and in case you have any doubts about that, look at the massive victories he won through the previously insignificant and prone to wander people of Israel.” Major idea (God is God) …supporting evidence (Look what he did here). Is that how this Psalm works? Kind of.We do have here an example, a demonstration, of God's kingly authority in the world. But that's only part of what's going on here. To think of these verses only in the sense of serving as an example, providing proof, would be to, in a sense, make them stagnant. But as we read the Psalm in full, we see that we just can't do that, for this Psalm has movement to it. This Psalm has a progression. This Psalm tells a story that's being set into motion.What is the movement? The Progression? The story? Here it is, and I really want you to tune in here. Here's the story of the Psalm, and really, it's almost the whole story of the Bible in miniature. Here it is: God is the God over all the world (period). And God purposed to win worshippers from all throughout the world (2x). That's the story we're getting caught up into with this Psalm. And one hint that that's where we're heading, is that although we narrow in on this tightly defined people — the Israelites, where do we end in verse 9? The gathering in of the people of the God of Abraham. Narrowed into Israel, but the story culminates with the gathering in of the people of the God of Abraham. Think back to Abraham.AbrahamSome of you will recall that God said to Abraham back in Genesis 12, “I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great,…and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen. 12:2-3). That was God's promise to Abraham, and that promise would move forward with the birth of Isaac, then with the birth of Jacob, the changing of Jacob's name to Israel, the nation that'd come from him, the Israelites, and their sojourn in Egypt, their crossing of the Red Sea, their wandering through the desert and up to Canaan where God would subdue the peoples before them, put the nations below their feet, God would win for them the Land of Canaan their heritage.God is God over all the world. God purposed to win worshippers from all throughout the world. God's plan would begin with Abraham, and it'd culminate with the ingathering of the people of the God of Abraham. What was to be the cause of multiplication in between that'd bridge from singular Abraham to the multitude of the people of the God of Abraham? What would be the vehicle that bring us from promise made to promise fulfilled? Israel (2x). Their movement as a people, their conduct as a people, their communication as a people was to result in the growth and ingathering of the people of the God of Abraham.That's where this Psalm beings us. Verse 6, It says, five times over Sing praises to God. “Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, We've just recalled the movement, victory, and expansion of the people of Israel and the result, or so it seems, it this fivefold call to sing praise to God. It's as if this call is being sent out from Israel to all the ends of the world: sing praises! sing praises! sing praises! sing praises! sing praises!.The Psalmist, an Israelite, says sing praise to “Our King.” The Psalmist is an Israelite. He's saying sing to our king, Yahweh. But then he goes on in the same breath to say, For God is the king of all the earth. See he's our king in that he's covenanted with us, he's the king we uniquely represent. But make no mistake, he is at the exact same time the king of all the earth. see, Babylonians, you think your god Marduk is king, but he's not. Egyptians, you think your god Ra is king, he's not. Canaanites you think your god Ba'al is king, he's not. But, nations, the fact that the god you've been worshipping is not king, doesn't mean you are without a king. The God of Israel is the God over of all this world, including your land and your people. And you, citizens of this world, are being called now to worship Him.And it's not optional. Kings don't make decrees that are optional. if you will not worship this king, he will, as your king, rightfully subdue you and place you under his feet. But if you will worship him, if you turn and worship him. verse 8-9: God reigns over the nations…sits on his holy throne. The princes of the peoples (the nations) gather as the people of the God of Abraham.”Nations, your blessing has arrived. Your invitation is waiting. Look out at that sea of people approaching on the horizon. They're comprised of the princes of the peoples, the leaders of the nations. The Emperors, Sultans, lords, Barons, presumably with others of the men and women form their nations. They have heard the invitation to sing praises to God and they have joined in with clapping, shouting, and songs of joy.And they are gathering together, together, not as a secondary class of worshippers, not as extras on the stage of redemption, but as the people of the God of Abraham.God is God over all the world. God is to win worshippers from all throughout the world. And here they are. “The princes of the peoples gather as the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God; he is highly exalted!” That's the story of this Psalm.What's the application for us here, today? I have two, both in the form of a question:Do you see in this Psalm God's pursuit of you?Think about it, most of us here today are not Israelites, we have no bloodline reaching back to Israel, and yet, here we are, in this very Psalm. The people of the God of Abraham. I mean read Galatians 3:7-8 “It is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” God's pursuit of worshippers, begun with Abraham, carried through the Israelites, this was a pursuit that included you. Don't push this away. Don't say, “God wasn't thinking of me back then. I wasn't in his mind when he called Abraham, when he led Israel. No? Then do you suppose you got into the family of God apart from his notice? Do you suppose he hadn't thought this far out in advance? Do you disagree with Ephesians 1, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world.” He chose you before the foundations of the world, you are now a part of the people of Abraham, this story, of God's pursuit of worshippers includes God's pursuit of you.Do you see in this Psalm God's Rightful Authority over you?If God is king of the world, then that means he is king over you. If the clapping of hands and shouts of joy from all the world are being directed toward him, then they are not being directed to you. This is not the way we, in our sin, prefer things. We'd prefer the crown of human praises to be placed upon our heads. We'd prefer the ability to declare right from wrong within our minds. We'd prefer the authority over what we are allowed to do be placed in our hands. But we are not king of this world. We are not king of ourselves. We are under a king. A great king. The LORD, the Most High, the one who is to be feared. So what area of your life has yet to submit to this king? Your home life, work like, your eyes and where you let them wander? Your mind and where you let it drift? Your feet and where you let them take you? We are under a king. A great king. May it be said that we held nothing back whether thought, word, or deed, from his lordship. Do you see in this Psalm God's Authority over you?TableThis Psalm, as great as it is, has a gap. Like a major gap. Because what we don't see in this Psalm is anything about how this is going to happen. How do we get from Israel in verses 3-5 to this myriad of people of the God of Abraham in verse 9? Because remember, Israel failed. They did not win the nations to God, they went into the nations and were won over by them. Worshipped their gods, took on their religions, were brought into their spiritual families. Following the penning of this Psalm, Israel, after falling repeatedly into idol-worship, were exiled into Babylon, brought back as subjects to foreign nations, and were by all intents-and-purposes lost.But God's plan had not failed. For God was to call one man. Not Abraham, but Jesus, an Israelite. From this one man he would make a people who would go out into the world to bless the nations and win the nations into the family of the people of the God of Abraham. This man, Jesus, would pay for the entrance of each and every one of these new members into his family with his blood. His body would break, his blood would flow, so that his righteousness through faith could be counted to them, to us, and so that the Father could look upon me and you and say, “Son” “Daughter” welcome to the family.That's what this table is about. That's what this meal is about. We celebrate that Jesus is the King over all this world. And Jesus, by his life, death, and resurrection, has paid for and won worshippers from throughout all the world. And Jesus will one day come again to take us, the people of the God of Abraham, home, where we will clap our hands, and shout to him with a new song of joy: “Worthy are you for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation…and now To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!” (Rev.5:9).Let's pray.

Scripture: 1 John 3:1-3Deryk Richenburg, senior pastor
What is witchcraft hitting you with:Honestly- if you've been faithful to come up higher- you should be sitting pretty right now where the witchcraft is (GUESS WHAT) DECREASING! Because you have been faithful to get free so the warfare is starting dimmish against you. THIS is where TRUE Front Runners are at currently – if not- then you need to focus on deliverance. DEUTERONOMY 18:1-20:20 – Being GENEROUS People As we come back into Gods heart we are learning how benevolent God's heart is. As should we be towards one another. The less mature the people around a ministry the less Gods standards will be applied, which means the more warfare that leadership will take. The more mature the vessels are the less warfare that leadership/house takes because alignment should be the predominant focus in this hour IF a vessel is truly hearing the Lord. Alignment and deliverance. At this point in the ballgame the people of God should be a separated people knowing WHO THEY ARE AND WHOSE THEY ARE- meaning you know you're the SON/DAUGHTER of a King and you know how to take your seat beside Him in heavenly places. We are in a season where we are either becoming more authentic or MORE weak/or darker by the spirit which can only come by getting to know the King. Because the KING has the POWER and unless you are HIS SON/DAUGTHER- YOU HAVE ZERO OF IT- But how do we get to know Him? . Support the show
The Poco a Poco Podcast with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal
Being a son means that you have a Father. The first and most important identity: son. This is the foundational identity that the Father gives us—everything else builds on this. We're not talking about the Father as an idea or a concept. Because you can't have a relationship with an idea. An idea can't rejoice in you. This is a real relationship, with a real Father. We're inviting everyone into the desert because we all have a longing to know who we are. And once you've been given the gift of yourself, and are able to say strongly, “Lord, I'm a Son/Daughter,” you come alive. This Lent, we'll be working through Born of Fire by Fr.

We share stories and perspectives on comparison, generosity, success, failure, adventure, and more. And it all relates back to living a life of purpose stemming from the gifts you were born and created with as a child. It's a powerful and really good one.

"God has a Gilgal for you!" - Stephan Kruger Gilgal was a place of "rolling off". God doesn't want you to bring all the old things that weigh you down into the new season. God wants to bring you into your promise land and NOW is the time to throw off the old and step into the new. God in his infinite love for you is continually inviting you to discover more and more about his true nature and your true position as a Son/Daughter of God.

Times have changed. More and more young adults are still living in their childhood homes for multiple reasons. But things can get a little blurry between parents and young adults. Is there a curfew? Who pays for what? How do we divide household responsibilities? In this episode, Shane and his oldest daughter talk about some of the benefits and the tensions that exist when young adults still live at home with their parents.

As a man growing up I've had conversations with friends and co workers about this topic. Listen to this segment and find out my thoughts on how I would handle my children being part of the LGBTQ+ Community.
Nutty Nancy Pelosi, as always, has her finger squarely on the pulse of America, determining that the biggest issue facing We the People isn't the disaster of government lockdowns as much as it is the disaster of gender identifiers on the Hill. Say goodbye to words like "Mother/Father, Son/Daughter" because those are the real problems. Never mind the fact that 14% of the 900 billion dollars allocated in the COVID stimulus bill is going to Americans (leaving a generous 86% heading off shores). Nothing to see there, folks. Also, because Democrats and Liberals have no nose for irony, Congressman Emanuel Cleaver concludes his prayer before the 117th Congress with "Amen and Awoman." Outstanding. It's time to crush this narrative before it starts and refuse to submit to the confusion.

On this episode, Matt & Jesse have a discussion with Kelsey Goldberg (@KelseyFGold) and Jack Suria Linares (@SuriaLinares213) from DSA-Los Angeles chapter about the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Kelsey and Jack explore their childhood and later political awakening by describing the moment (or moments) that led to not only their transcendent belief in socialism, but how they went beyond mere beliefs by deciding to take action and become activists and organizers via their self-discovery process. We will also learn about DSA's history and contributions, as well as its future aims as a consequence of its recent National Convention. Additionally, our visitors to the show will talk about what DSA-LA has in the revolutionary pot that's about to boil over into a Mario-Brothers pasta of comrade-goodness. By the very end of this podcast episode, Kelsey, Jesse and Jack get our ‘DSA-Curious' Comrade, Matthew, to break down his resistance and finally #TrySocialism.

His massive body of work, which includes nearly 100 books, has for decades deflated and exposed the lies of the power elite and the myths they perpetrate. Chomsky has done this despite being blacklisted by the commercial media, turned into a pariah by the academy and, by his own admission, being a pedantic and at times slightly boring speaker. He combines moral autonomy with rigorous scholarship, a remarkable grasp of detail and a searing intellect. He curtly dismisses our two-party system as a mirage orchestrated by the corporate state, excoriates the liberal intelligentsia for being fops and courtiers and describes the drivel of the commercial media as a form of ‘brainwashing.'” Al Jazeera: “More Americans Joining Socialist Groups Under Trump” The New Republic: “Are the Democratic Socialists of America For Real?” Sarah Silverman at the DNC Convention in 2016: “Can I just say, to the Bernie or Bust People, You're Being Ridiculous.” Matthew Snyder's Co-Organizing for the First Fundraiser in the I.E. for Sanders' Presidential Run: “Our Barn-Storming-for-Bernie Fundraiser in the I.E.” {July 18th, 2015} Why People Support Bernie Sanders from Such a Broad Spectrum of American Society?
