The Book of PsalmsPsalm 56Lament Psalms give us a way to express our pain and struggles, turning to God for help and trusting in His faithfulness.

Reverend Richard Brunton from living hope ministries speaks on 2 Chronicles 7:14

The once popular New Atheist movement seems to have lost its momentum. Several atheists have found a new interest in "cultural Christianity", and some are even turning to God. What happened to Atheism, and why do some find God an Christianity more attractive?  The seminar is linked to Williams recent book Behold the Man.  Peter S. Williams is a philosopher, with special interest for the atheist movement. He lives in the UK and is teaching at NLA Univesity College.  Opptaket er fra Veritaskonferansen 2024.

When Paul preached in Thessalonica, not everyone believed. A mob was formed, a riot broke out, and the city was thrown into turmoil. In spite of this “severe suffering,” those who believed, “became a model” to believers in other areas. Paul commended these Christians for turning “to God from idols to serve the living and […]

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. — Psalm 4:8 In my younger days I looked forward to falling into bed at night with the sigh, “Sleep at last!” I still look forward to sleeping, but now I don't always look forward to bedtime. Sometimes, as night falls, I begin brooding about disappointments, regrets, unsolved problems—and I fear taking my anxieties to bed. In Psalm 4 it seems that King David may be brooding again about the rebellion of his son Absalom (Psalm 3; July 8)—not to mention his many other enemies. This psalm gives us a heightened sense of his desperation. We can almost see David twisting and turning, messing up the covers on his bed. Here again he calls out to God, pleading for mercy. In the middle of the psalm, though (v. 4), David offers some sound advice for such times of struggle in the darkness: searching one's heart and asking for forgiveness for any sins one may have done. Then, as often happens in the psalms, David moves from turmoil and agony toward trust. He does this by deliberately turning his mind toward God's faithfulness and provision. David's struggles aren't fully resolved in this psalm. But in reaffirming his trust in God, he sees a way forward. He ends with a declaration about peaceful sleep, a complete letting go into God's faithfulness. In all of our struggles, Lord, help us to cry out to you and in faith to turn to you in trust and gratitude for the gift of sleep. Amen.

Hosea 5:1-5 Behavior and works alone do not indicate a sincere faith, but there certainly are certain habits that we can practice that can fertilize a more ready turning to God. The people of Israel did not “frame their doings” to turn to God; rather, they allowed a heart bent toward idolatry and sensuality to guide their decision-making.

Have you ever had a friend who does not call until they need something? They do not pursue a real relationship with you. They may not even know what is going on in your life or seem to care. Maybe they do not even like you, or at least not as much as others. But if they think you have something to offer, then all of the sudden, they are your best friend. This is how the Israelites treated God. They repeatedly betrayed Him, then begged for His forgiveness when they needed Him. They were constantly testing His patience and taking advantage of His love for them. Do we do the same?

Palm Sunday, the day Jesus was celebrated upon arrival in Jerusalem, commences the most significant transition of Jesus' life: his journey to the cross. Unlike Jesus, we are not privy to the details of how our life's transitions will play out, and perhaps that is God's blessing. Throughout his life, Jesus knew of the suffering he would face on the cross, and he still chose to turn to the Father with his anguish, sorrow, and fear, and surrender to His will. Even fully understanding his impending crucifixion, Jesus modeled practicing faith to move forward in times of anxiety and uncertainty, to trust that God is working in our lives and that He will bestow crowns of beauty for ashes.

On today's show, I'm talking to Suhaiymah Manzoor Khan about her latest book, Seeing For Ourselves: And even stranger possibilities. Suhaiymah is one of the most thoughtful, intelligent and intro-spective people I know, and I absolutely love all the work she is doing and what she puts out into the world. Seeing For Ourselves feels quite different to Suhaiymah's other books, and offers more personal reflections on identity, faith, belonging, grief, love and activism. In her book, Suhaiymah encourages us to move beyond the white western gaze, and focus on the only gaze that really matters: that of Allah. Its such a powerful little book, forcing us to rethink our values, ideas and intentions, and encouraging us to embrace our true authentic selves, away from the gazes upon us. Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan is a writer, poet and educator disrupting understandings of history, race, knowledge and violence. She works to equip herself and others with the tools and faith to resist the unliveable conditions we find ourselves in, and work towards another reality.Suhaiymah's latest book, Seeing for Ourselves: And even stranger possibilities came out with Hajar Press in September 2023. Prior to this she authored Tangled in Terror: Uprooting Islamophobia (Pluto Press, 2022) which was widely endorsed by the likes of Lowkey, Moazzam Begg, Fatima Manji, Lola Olufemi and more.I really hope you enjoy this episode.

Bottom line: Turning To God leads to God turning the page to a new chapter in our story, e.g. life story, love story, etc. Because Ruth turned to God, trusted Him, and came under His wings, God turned the page on her love story. God providentially worked to bring about the right man, the right woman, in the right location, at the right time to begin a love story between Ruth and Boaz. You cannot manufacture your love story, but you can trust God and turn to Him and watch Him providentially work through natural circumstances to fulfill His supernatural plans for your love story.

2023.10.22 - Turning to God (Jonah 3:1–10) by Emmanuel Baptist Church

Proverbs 24:11-12 King James Version 11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; 12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

God uses the few simple words that Jonah speaks to bring about great repentance and salvation to an entire city. God doesn't need your eloquence to accomplish His desires. Rather, He lovingly invites you to lend your voice to His simple message and to join Him in His work. In this third message in our Jonah series, Pastor Bogdan reminds us that God speaks to Jonah a second time commanding him to go to Nineveh and proclaim God's message. This second chance is evidence of God's persistent calling and his patient love. His desire to save the city of Nineveh and to use Jonah as his messenger has not changed. Humans' disobedience doesn't change God. His relentless love and calling change us. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

2 Peter 3:1-9

Does your world feel heavy and dark? We live in a world of commotion and noise, and sometimes we just need a reminder that there is more light than we think. We just have to turn to the Lord and see his light in the everyday moments.   "You are meant to feel God's love, so allow yourself to feel joy!"   Today's guest, Artist Kate Lee understands how it feels to be in that darkness. She created a painting called, “Through His Light” that came from a place of recognizing that there was more light from Christ all around her. Today, Kathryn and Kate discuss God's light, and Kate shares three lessons she learned through the process of creating the painting.   Top takeaways from this episode: We have to consciously look for the positives in our lives and we will start to see God's light in those moments. Sometimes in order to see the light, we have to look back and see that there was a gradual increase of light as we reflect. Look for ways to have "everyday light" in your life including scripture study, turning to loved ones, and prayer. Accepting God's light takes action and accountability.   Small and simple challenge: Take the time to ask the question, "how can I let more of God's light into my life?" and consider what your answer is. Give yourself grace in all aspects of your life to see God's hand more fully.   Links See Kate's painting, "Through His Light" here!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you follow many of the discussion threads on social media, they often follow a pattern. A suggestion . . . a counter suggestion . . . disagreement . . . rude disagreement . . . personal attack . . . intense, caustic tirade . . . and we close the page uttering something about humanity being doomed. It's probably a good idea to get our input from a higher source. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points to our Wonderful Counselor.
