Today is day 272 and we are studying The First Commandment. 272. How are you tempted to worship other gods? I am tempted to trust in myself, my pleasures, my possessions, my relationships, and my success, wrongly believing that they will bring me happiness, security, and meaning. I am also tempted to believe superstitions and false religious claims, and to reject God's call to worship him alone. (1 Kings 11:1–8; Psalm 73:1–17; Matthew 26:14–16; 27:1–5; Romans 1:18–32) We will conclude today by praying Prayer 93. A Covenant Prayer found on page 674 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Today is day 271 and we are studying The First Commandment. 271. Why are you tempted to worship other things instead of God? I am tempted because my sinful heart seeks my own desires above all else and pursues those things which falsely promise to fulfill them. (Deuteronomy 29:16–19; Psalm 10:2–7; Acts 19:23–27; James 4:1–10) We will conclude today by praying Prayer 94. For a Virtuous Heart found on page 674 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Ever wonder if all this staying home, pouring out, and homeschooling is really worth it? In this honest episode, I'm sharing a moment where I almost walked away from the calling—and what helped me stay rooted. We'll talk about the tug-of-war between purpose and pressure, and how God reminded me that this season of motherhood matters deeply. Takeaways: Doubt doesn't mean you're not called. Obedience sometimes looks like staying. Your faithfulness at home is kingdom work. For the mama who feels tired, torn, or tempted to chase something else—this one's for you.    If you want to learn how to embrace the Dirt on your journey, come join me over on Substack at kawailani.substack.com

Chuck Todd unpacks the escalating chaos around Donald Trump's second term, from his doom-and-gloom rhetoric to the brazen decisions that have left few guardrails in place. Voters may not reject Trump's ideas outright, but his nonstop turbulence—from shaming pregnant women over Tylenol to undermining global allies—has created deep political vulnerabilities. Todd explores how small businesses, foreign policy, and even health guidance have been rattled by Trump's need for instability, while noting that divided government historically forces presidents to govern more broadly. The monologue also turns to Vice President Kamala Harris, whose new book reveals her frustrations with the 2020 ticket and her uneasy positioning for the future, raising tough questions about her political style and prospects.Then, Congressman Chris Deluzio joins Chuck to talk about the political transformation of Western Pennsylvania, the challenges of running as a Democrat in a swing district, and the lessons he's learned since succeeding Conor Lamb. From the hollowing out of factory towns to the rare but pivotal swing voters who decide elections, Deluzio reflects on the realignment that has reshaped the region's politics. He also opens up about how 9/11 led him to serve in the Navy, why he believes American democracy is at risk, and the urgent need for reforms to restore voter trust.The conversation also dives into big debates in Washington: partisan gerrymandering, government shutdown brinkmanship, establishing limits on presidential power, and the dangers of politicizing the military. Deluzio weighs in on rail safety after East Palestine, social media's effect on kids, and congressional corruption—from stock trading to pay structures that keep working-class Americans from serving. Plus, Chuck gets his take on the rising cost of energy, Pittsburgh sports, and whether Democrats can win back voters by focusing squarely on economic issues.Finally, he gives his “ToddCast Top 5” football coaches on the hot-seat and answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Got injured in an accident?

We all face temptation—but we're not alone, and we're not without hope. In this message, Tempted, we explore what God's Word says about overcoming the pull of sin:   Anchor Verse: 1 Corinthians 10:13   1. Temptation is Universal – Everyone experiences it (James 1:14, Matthew 4:1). 2. Temptation is Not Sin – It's the crossroads where we choose our response (James 1:15). 3. God Provides a Way of Escape – He equips us to flee and stand firm (Matthew 26:41, Genesis 39:12). 4. Victory Comes Through Christ's Strength – Jesus understands our struggles and offers grace and power (Hebrews 4:15–16).   If you're feeling the weight of temptation, be encouraged: God is faithful, and through Christ you can stand strong.

Justice At Last ReCreate Church | Michael Shockley | August 24, 2025 Esther Series, Part 7: Esther 7 ---------- EPISODE SUMMARY Ever wonder why justice seems delayed while evil appears to prosper? Through the climactic chapter of Esther's story, Michael Shockley reveals how God's justice works - even when it seems absent. From childhood candy theft to global injustices, we all wrestle with why bad things happen to good people and why the guilty seem to escape consequences. But in Esther chapter 7, we witness the ultimate reversal as Queen Esther finally reveals Haman's genocidal plot at the second royal banquet. Watch as the master manipulator becomes terrified, accidentally breaks Persian law by falling near the queen, and ends up executed on the very gallows he built for Mordecai. Through humor, personal stories, and biblical insight, discover how our sense of justice actually reflects God's character and why we can trust that evil may run its mouth, but God's justice will have the last word. Core Message: Evil may run its mouth, but God's Justice has the last word. ---------- KEY TOPICS COVERED The Universal Desire for Justice - Childhood experiences with unfairness and sibling candy theft - Road rage when bad drivers don't get caught by police - The deeper pain when serious injustices go unpunished - How our anger at injustice reflects God's image in us - Why justice feels delayed in a microwave culture when God uses the "Crock Pot" Esther's Strategic Timing - The Persian custom of multiple banquets for major requests - Why Esther delayed her request through two separate meals - The power of three days of fasting and prayer for divine guidance - Building up to the revelation rather than making immediate accusations - How dedicated prayer changes situations and people The Second Banquet Revelation - The "banquet of wine" as the traditional time for big requests - The king's repeated offer: "up to half the kingdom" as generous hyperbole - Esther's careful approach: "give me my life and the lives of my people" - Her wisdom in mentioning the king's financial loss from genocide - The perfect timing after the king remembered Mordecai's loyalty The Great Unmasking - The king's rage at learning someone threatened his queen - Haman's shock at discovering Esther was Jewish - "The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman!" - The terror of the master schemer when his plot is exposed - How the trusted advisor's betrayal felt like a personal attack Divine Providence in Action - The king's strategic exit to process the shocking news - Haman's desperate pleading that led to breaking Persian law - Falling on the queen's couch while no man could approach within seven steps - The king's return at the perfect moment to misinterpret the scene - How apparent coincidences reveal God's orchestration Poetic Justice Fulfilled - The servant's reminder about the 75-foot gallows built for Mordecai - The irony of Haman being executed on his own construction - How the enemy literally constructed his own destruction - The public nature of his humiliation and death - God writing a story of justice no human author could script The Challenge of Living Justly - Micah 6:8: "do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God" - How we demand justice from others while avoiding personal responsibility - The call to live with integrity even when it costs us - Speaking truth and refusing to participate in wrongdoing - Trusting God's timing when justice seems delayed ---------- MEMORABLE QUOTES "Evil may run its mouth, but God's Justice has the last word." "Your ability to recognize injustice and your anger with injustice come from the incredible truth that you were created in the image of a Just God." "We want microwave answers, when God might be using the Crock Pot." "What looks like a coincidence is providence." "The enemy constructed his own destruction. The Unseen Hand of God wrote a story of justice no human author could script." "Just because we can't see justice, it doesn't mean justice isn't on the way." "The Justice of God may move slowly, it may be hidden, but when it arrives, it is undeniable and irresistible." "Don't forget that even injustice will eventually play into God's Plans." ---------- BIBLICAL FOUNDATION - Primary Text: Esther 7:1-6 - Key Verse: "And Esther said, 'The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman!'" (Esther 7:6) - Supporting Verse: "He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8) - Theme: Divine justice working through human circumstances - Historical Context: The Persian banquet customs and royal protocol - Ultimate Justice: How the greatest injustice (the Cross) became our salvation ---------- PRACTICAL APPLICATION If You're Frustrated with Injustice: - Remember that your sense of justice reflects God's image in you - Trust that God sees every wrong and will address it in His timing - Don't lose heart when you see evil appearing to prosper - Know that the boom of God's justice will echo through eternity If You're Seeking God's Guidance: - Consider the power of dedicated fasting and prayer like Esther - Move beyond stress-talking to God toward focused, directed prayer - Trust that something will give - the situation, you, or both - Allow time for God to reveal His strategy and timing If You've Been Wronged: - Trust that the enemy often constructs their own destruction - Know that apparent coincidences may be divine providence at work - Remember that delayed justice doesn't mean denied justice - Find comfort that God will set all things right, if not now, then eternally If You Want to See Justice: - Start by living justly in your own life and relationships - Act with integrity even when it costs you personally - Speak truth and refuse to participate in wrongdoing - Treat people with kindness and respect regardless of their response If You're Tempted to Take Justice into Your Own Hands: - Trust God's timing rather than forcing your own solutions - Remember that vengeance belongs to the Lord - Focus on faithfulness rather than getting even - Let God orchestrate the reversals and revelations ---------- THE ULTIMATE INVITATION Maybe you've experienced betrayal, unfairness, or injustice that still stings today. Maybe you've watched the guilty prosper while the innocent suffer. Maybe you've wondered where God is in the midst of corruption and oppression. This much is true: the same God who orchestrated justice for Haman is still the God of justice today. Your anger at injustice isn't wrong - it reflects His image in you. But remember that the greatest injustice in history - the crucifixion of the only innocent man who ever lived - became the source of our salvation. Jesus took the injustice we deserved so we could receive the mercy we don't deserve. Trust in His justice, live justly yourself, and remember that evil may run its mouth, but God's justice will have the last word. ---------- CONNECT WITH RECREATE CHURCH - Website: recreatechurch.org - Support the Ministry: Give through the Tithe.ly app or offering boxes ---------- Are you living justly in your own sphere of influence?

Send us a textFor our last 5AM Sampler episode, we chose one from the fall of 2023. Many of us are familiar with Matthew 4:1 - 11 - a tired and hungry Jesus who has just spent 40 days in the wilderness – which was more like a dessert than a forest – and He hasn't eaten anything. And during those 40 days, He is tempted by Satan. But there's a few questions that this passage raises. Since Jesus is fully God and since He has complete dominion over Satan, why did He allow Satan to tempt Him? Why didn't He command Satan to stop? And maybe the bigger question, can God be tempted? Join us as we dig in!Thanks for tuning in! Be sure to check out everything Proverbs 9:10 on our website, www.proverbs910ministries.com!

Pastor Heath Lambert tackles a crucial theological question: Was Jesus tempted, and what does that mean? Discover the difference between external and internal temptation, and how understanding these distinctions helps us comprehend how Jesus could be "tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin."TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Introduction: The Question About Jesus' Temptation0:49 - What Is Temptation? The Basic Question1:32 - Type 1: External Temptation (Tempting Situations)1:40 - Example: Stack of $100 Bills in Empty Room2:27 - Type 2: Internal Temptation (Spiritual Corruption)2:42 - James 1:14: Lured and Enticed by Own Desire3:45 - How External and Internal Temptations Connect4:00 - Personal Examples: Tofu Salad vs. Blueberry Muffin4:25 - The Key Difference: Situational vs. Spiritual4:53 - Jesus Was Tempted: Matthew 4:1 Evidence5:15 - Hebrews 4:15: Tempted in Every Way, Yet Without Sin6:01 - James 1:13: God Cannot Be Tempted with Evil6:19 - The Solution: Two Kinds of Temptation Applied to Jesus7:00 - How Jesus Faced External Without Internal CorruptionMAIN POINTS- Two Kinds of TemptationExternal temptation consists of tempting situations or circumstances (like finding money when alone), while internal temptation involves corrupt cravings and sinister desires within the heart. External temptation becomes spiritually significant only when it meets internal corruption.- External Temptation Is Situational, Not Necessarily SinfulBeing in a potentially tempting situation isn't inherently wrong. The sinfulness comes from the internal response - the corrupt desire that matches up with the external opportunity. Different people are tempted by different external circumstances based on their internal desires.- Jesus Faced All External TemptationsScripture clearly states that Jesus was "tempted in every way as we are" (Hebrews 4:15) and was "led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil" (Matthew 4:1). Every potentially tempting situation that exists confronted Jesus during His earthly ministry.- Jesus Had No Internal CorruptionThough Jesus faced all external temptations, He had no internal corruption or sinful desires to match them. His heart was always trusting in the Lord and wanting to do righteousness. This is why He could be tempted externally yet remain "without sin" - there was no internal spiritual corruption to respond to the external circumstances.SCRIPTURE REFERENCESPrimary Passages:Matthew 4:1 - Jesus led into wilderness to be temptedHebrews 4:15 - Tempted in every way as we are, yet without sinJames 1:13-14 - God cannot be tempted; each person tempted by own desireSupporting Context:James 1:13 - Let no one say when tempted, "I am being tempted by God"James 1:14 - Each person is lured and enticed by his own desire1 John 2:16 - The desires of the flesh, eyes, and pride of life1 Corinthians 10:13 - No temptation beyond what you can bearHave a question you'd like answered?

While We Are Waiting ReCreate Church | Michael Shockley | July 10, 2025 Esther Series, Part 5: Esther 5 ---------- EPISODE SUMMARY Ever feel like you're waiting forever for God to answer your prayers or bring clarity to your situation? Through Esther chapter 5, Michael Shockley explores what happens in the gaps between our prayers and God's answers. Using the analogy of waiting for a Polaroid picture to develop, discover why our impatience often leads us to "shake" our circumstances instead of trusting God's perfect timing. When Queen Esther finally approaches the king uninvited, her unexpected delay in making her request teaches us that what looks like wasted waiting time might actually be God orchestrating the perfect setup for His plan. From Haman's overconfident scheming to the king's sleepless night that's coming, learn why delays aren't denials and how God works behind the scenes even when He seems silent. Core Message: While we are waiting, God is working. ---------- KEY TOPICS COVERED The Tension of Esther's Approach - Persian law requiring death for uninvited royal visits - The cultural context of absolute royal authority in ancient Persia - Esther's three days of fasting and prayer before approaching the king - The golden scepter as the sign of royal mercy and acceptance - Courage and faith required to risk everything for others The King's Generous Response - "What do you wish? Up to half the kingdom!" as royal hyperbole - God's behind-the-scenes work in moving the king's heart - The unexpected favor Esther receives despite the risk - How divine providence positioned her for this moment Esther's Puzzling Delay - The first banquet invitation instead of an immediate request - Missing the opportunity at the "banquet of wine" discussion time - The second banquet invitation when pressed again by the king - Possible reasons: fear, strategy, or divine timing - How delays can actually be part of God's perfect plan Haman's Overconfident Scheming - Bragging about wealth, power, and exclusive royal access - One man's refusal to bow ruining all his success - Mordecai's continued defiance at the palace gate - The 75-foot gallows constructed overnight for Mordecai - How the enemy always overplays his hand God's Invisible Hand at Work - The peculiarity of God never being directly mentioned in Esther - Divine orchestration behind seemingly random events - Setting up the perfect reversal while everyone waits - The coming sleepless night that will change everything - How God is never rushed and never outplanned The Waiting Room Experience - Our modern impatience with God's timing - "Shaking the Polaroid" instead of letting things develop properly - Why delays don't equal denials - Trusting the process when we can't see the outcome - The masterpiece in progress during waiting seasons ---------- MEMORABLE QUOTES "While we are waiting, God is working." "A delay is not necessarily a denial." "Just because we can't see God doesn't mean He isn't working." "The enemy always overplays his hand. God is never rushed. God is never outplanned." "Stop shaking the Polaroid and trust The One Who can bring things into focus." "A delayed answer does not equal a denied purpose." "What feels like wasted time of waiting might be a masterpiece in progress." ---------- BIBLICAL FOUNDATION - Primary Text: Esther 5:3-4 - Key Verse: "What do you wish, Queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given to you—up to half the kingdom!" - Supporting Context: Esther's approach to the king and the two banquet delays - Theme: Divine timing and God's behind-the-scenes orchestration - Parallel Examples: Noah's decades of building, Joseph's years in prison, Jesus's three days in the tomb --------- PRACTICAL APPLICATION If You're Waiting for Answers: - Stop "shaking the Polaroid" by trying to force faster results - Trust that God may be setting things in motion between your prayers - Remember that delayed answers don't mean denied purposes - Let things develop in God's perfect timing rather than your preferred schedule If You Feel Like Nothing Is Happening: - Recognize that God works behind the scenes even when invisible - Trust that apparent delays might be divine orchestration - Remember biblical examples where waiting preceded breakthrough - Focus on faithfulness during the waiting rather than demanding results If You're Tempted to Give Up: - Know that a masterpiece may be in progress during your waiting season - Trust the same God who came through for Esther, Noah, Joseph, and Jesus - Believe that your breakthrough may be closer than it appears - Keep praying and trusting even when you can't see movement If You're in a Position to Help Others: - Don't let comfort or fear keep you from taking necessary risks - Remember that your obedience may be key to someone else's rescue - Trust God's timing for when and how to act on others' behalf - Prepare through prayer and fasting before taking significant steps If You're Facing Overwhelming Opposition: - Remember that enemies often overplay their hand - Trust that God is never outplanned or outmaneuvered - Know that apparent victories for evil may be setting up divine reversals - Wait for God's perfect timing rather than rushing into battle ---------- THE ULTIMATE INVITATION Maybe you're in a waiting season that doesn't make sense. Maybe you've prayed, fasted, and taken steps of faith, but nothing seems to be happening. Maybe you're tempted to "shake" your circumstances to try to speed things up. This much is true: while you are waiting, God is working. The same God who orchestrated Esther's story behind the scenes is orchestrating yours. The answers you're waiting for may already be in motion. Trust The One Who can bring things into focus in His perfect time. And remember, the greatest wait in history - three days in a tomb - resulted in the greatest victory ever won when Jesus rose from the dead to give us eternal life. ---------- CONNECT WITH RECREATE CHURCH - Website: recreatechurch.org - Support the Ministry: Give through the Tithe.ly app or offering boxes ---------- What are you waiting on today? A phone call, healing, direction, or breakthrough? Trust that while you're waiting, God is working. The next chapter of your story is being written, and the same God who came through for Esther will come through for you.

Refuge | Walk With Me - When Tempted

By Gary Beam - The "Pride of Life" pertains to a love for the things of this world. How occupied are we with the present world around us, and how much and how often are we tempted to let the physical desires interfere with the work of salvation in us? Are we being about Our Father's Business or too busy with this

I own a suppressor and was under the impression that I needed to update my address with the ATF. After asking Capital Armory as well as the suppressor manufacturer, they both told me not to worry about it and I didn't have to. I know you guys aren't lawyers but what would you do in this situation Mike H - Just bought a ruger SFAR in 6.5cm and trying to decide what glass to put on it. Tempted to go with a 5-25 but the longest range I shoot at is 400yd. I intend to get into hunting at some point with this rifle but I do not hunt yet. Since I just spent a grand on the gun I'm not looking to spend anyyhing crazy on the glass. Thanks in advance. P.S. Jeremy isn't a cunt P.P.S. Aaron is a cunt no notes   Jeremy's Cousin Again - My question bout what meat you like. came from you guys talking bout kanye west cousins intimacies. I already knew what meat Aaron liked. Urva Jinaswet - We Like Shooting Episode 611 starting at timestamp 01,07,33 you guys were talking about a video on the SIG P320 and someone making it fire with using parts from different P320 configurations. You guys brushed it off as something that doesn't prove anything because it was made/forced to work like the ATF making that Auto Keycard to work. But it is not like that at all, and you missed the point. The point is that the P320 is capable of firing without the trigger being pulled. It proves the P320 is capable of firing without the trigger being depressed. So with parts being out of spec or not functioning correctly, which is entirely possible with mass production and MIM and shitty QC, the P320 can fire without input from the user. I have been saying this for a while now and now this video proves it. The trigger is not mechanically linked to the striker safety lock. The trigger pushes the striker safety lock out of the way when the trigger is pulled, but it does not pull it back when the trigger returns to start. A tiny spring is what returns the striker safety lock to safe. That's it. Just FYI. Where is this video that shows this? Warrior of the Weekend - Shawn, a few months ago you talked about doing a magnifier comparison review. I was really curious about the results. Did you ever finish it?I just need to know that my Eotech G33 magnifier is the best since it's the only one I have experience with therefore it's the best. #skibidihauktuagigachads Tater Daddy - Hope this arrives before it doesn't matter anymore. DearWLS is like sending a letter in 1848. Have we considered fully whether or not we want the hearing protection act as part of a tax bill? I can see directly how this could legitimize anti-gun NFA-like gun control in future tax bills as part of reconciliation. That would mean in 2-6 years we would be fighting Nonsense that could not be filibustered. On the other hand, this could represent an opportunity. There would obviously be a reprieve during which time suppressors would be easier to get. New tax based legislation for gun control might also represent better fodder for judicial challenges than a 90 year-old law which has gone relatively unchallenged.What are yous guys thoughts? -Tater Keith M - Hey guys, question of the day,,,,,,,on the H.P.A. /“ shush” act . If they take suppressors off the nfa list, (No form 4) just a 4473 ,
