John 5:30-47,I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me. 31 If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true. 33 You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen, 38 and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. 39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 41 I do not receive glory from people. 42 But I know that you do not have the love of God within you. 43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?These last few Sundays we've been slowly walking through the scene from John chapter 5, which takes place at a pool in Jerusalem called Bethesda. There, a man who'd long been paralyzed began to walk again. Not thanks to medicine or machinery, but a miracle. Jesus, the God-man, had simply spoken, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” … And the man did.Well, the Jewish religious leaders didn't like it, because the day on which he healed the man was the Sabbath. And then they really didn't like it when Jesus defended his action by saying, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” In fact, his words so enraged them that, verse 18, they were:“seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.”Faced with the religious leaders' anger, Jesus did not retreat. Instead, the remainder of chapter 5 captures Jesus' response to these leaders in which he makes some of the most stunning claims in all the gospels:Whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise (v. 19).The Father loves the Son, and shows the Son all that he's doing (v. 20).As the Father gives life, so the Son gives life (v. 21).The Father desires people to honor the Son just as they honor the Father (v. 23).Notice these claims of Jesus don't only concern him, but God the Father as well. His claims, in other words, are not merely about him as an individual, but about him and God and how they relate to one another.So it's for that very reason that, when he gets to verse 31, he concedes:“If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true.”Not meaning that his words couldn't be trusted. But that since his words concern him and the Father, we should expect them to be backed not only by him, but the Father as well. And through the rest of this chapter, Jesus is ultimately going to show that they are. So what we're going to do this morning is trace Jesus' argument, and see two things: reasons and roadblocks. Reasons to believe Jesus' claims, and roadblocks to believing Jesus' claims.Reasons to believe, roadblocks to believing.Let's pray, and ask for God's help once more….ReasonsSo, reasons and roadblocks. We'll begin with reasons, and Jesus gives four of them. The testimony of (1) John the Baptist, (2) Jesus' own works, (3) God the Father, and (4) Moses. Let's start with that first one, John the Baptist. Turn to John 5:33. This is Jesus speaking.John the BaptistJohn 5:33,“You sent to John [ie. John the Baptist], and he has borne witness to the truth.”Borne witness — testified, spoken aloud, audibly confirmed — the truth of what Jesus himself was claiming. And when did John bear such witness? Well, in chapter one, where he said: That Jesus, though he'd come after him, actually ranks before him because, “He was before him” (1:15). That Jesus, in fact, ranked so high above John, that John was unfit to even stoop down and untie his sandals (1:27). That Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (1:29). That Jesus is the “Son of God.” (1:34).Jesus says,“You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.” Now, lest we get the wrong idea here, Jesus quickly clarifies why it is that he's saying this. It's not because he feels insecure and needs John to back him up. Nor because he feels attacked, and wants to defend himself. Often, those are our reasons for responding. Someone confronts us, challenges us, and our immediate impulse is to pounce and defend. That's not what Jesus is doing here. Rather, as we see in verse 34:“Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.” So that you may be saved. How remarkable? I mean, think about it: Who was he saying this to? The very religious authorities who, according to verse 18, were actively seeking to kill him! I mean, Jesus knows the heart of man. He knew all about Nathaniel in John 1. All about the Samaritan woman in John 4. Jesus knows the heart of man, and Jesus knew these people were wanting to kill him. To destroy him. To put him in an early grave. I mean, how much do you have to hate someone to actually want them dead? And not only dead, but to be the one who causes his death? And yet Jesus, knowing all of that, looks them right in the eyes and says, “Just so you know, the reason I'm saying these things to you is so that you might be saved.” He'd already told them back in verse 24,“That whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life.”And now here he is, trying to get them to hear it. Trying to get them to believe it. We asked: How much do you have to hate someone to actually want them dead? How much more do you need to love someone to actually want to save those who want you dead?Friends, isn't Jesus wonderful? Isn't he magnificent? Don't skip over verses like these. Linger long over the heart of God as its revealed in the pages of Scripture. Allow yourself the time to be made glad as you see, “My Savior, is just so good!” He seeks to save his would-be persecutors. So, first reason to believe Jesus' claims is the testimony of John the Baptist. Here's the second reason: Jesus' own works. WorksVerse 36,“But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John [Note: “Greater,” so he's ratcheting up his argument]. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me.“Works like, in John 2, when Jesus turned about 150 gallons of water into wine, without even lifting a finger. Or later in John 4, when Jesus healed a man's son who was deathly ill, without even being in the same town as him. And just recently, in John 5, when Jesus told a paralyzed man to stand and the paralyzed man did. The feeding of the 5,000, the walking on the water, the giving of sight to a man born blind — all of these works are still to come. Yet, even now, Jesus says: my works act as words. They proclaim: God has sent me.So, first reason to believe is testimony from John, and second the testimony of Jesus' works. Third, is the testimony of the Father himself. GodVerse 37,“And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me.”This of course is the heaviest hitter in the argument. Should the Father affirm the Son? Well, we need no other evidence. And Jesus is saying that he, in fact, has “borne witness.” But the question again is, when? When did the Father bear witness about the Son?Well at least one place was at Jesus' baptism. There, when Jesus had come up out of the water, the Father's voice rang out from heaven: “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased” (Mk. 1:11). And look, God tells no lies. God calls something good, he means it. God calls something evil, then that is what it is. God calls someone his beloved Son; with whom he is well pleased. Well, you better believe he is.So, we have the Father's witness in Jesus' baptism. And, I believe we're meant to see we have the Father's witness in all of Scripture as well.Look with me, verse 37,And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen, 38 and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. 39 You search the Scriptures [(ie. God's word) So I see a connection between God's witness, God's voice, God's word, and the Scriptures — all getting at this concept of the Father's witness of the Son] because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me.” The Scriptures at that time, the Old Testament, Genesis to Malachi — “They're about me,” Jesus says. The Father's word is about me. And that's why in Luke 24, on the road to Emmaus, Jesus interprets all the Old Testament as things concerning himself (Lk. 24:27). The Old Testament is about Jesus.So, believe the testimony of John, the testimony of Jesus' works, and the testimony of God the Father both at Jesus' baptism and in the Scriptures. Last, believe the testimony of Moses. And this actually signals our transition from reasons to believe, to roadblocks to believing. We've got three reasons to believe. Here's a fourth — it's Moses — but it's at this point Jesus puts his finger upon the roadblock to believing.RoadblocksMosesLet's begin by considering the fact that Jesus has just called all of Scripture to account. Saying the Scriptures, which would've already included the writings of Moses, bear witness about him. So, Moses has already been counted as witness, yes? So, why is it that Jesus references him here specifically? Why does he, as it were, set Moses in the spotlight before them, and say “You know, Moses, he too has borne witness about me”?Verse 45,“Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”Why the emphasis on Moses? Well, it's because these religious authorities had prided themselves upon their obedience to Moses. They, in fact, had built their entire lives around following the Laws of Moses. In their minds, they were set apart, and far greater than everyone else, because of their diligent study and expansive knowledge of Moses. Moses was, in this way, their one major stepping stone to self-worth, social rank, and salvation. And Jesus, is going to take a hold of it. You ever watch Charlie Brown as a kid? Charlie Brown, the well behaved, inquisitive, yellow shirt with zig zag stripe, cartoon young boy? If you did, then I want you to imagine the religious leaders right now as Charlie Brown. Jesus is Lucy. And the writings of Moses are the football. You guys remember what Lucy used to always do with Charlie as Charlie ran up to kick the football? She'd hold it, “Hey Charlie, here's the football.” And then just as Charlie ran up and was about to kick it she'd pull that thing away and Charlie's leg would swing on up into thin air carrying his whole body with. Jesus knew these religious leaders. He knew the confidence they had in their grasp of Moses and ability to follow the Laws of Moses. So, Jesus takes Moses' writings, and says, “Religious leaders, this is Moses. You think you got a hang on Moses. You're kicking into thin air.”Jesus puts the writings of Moses right down in front of them and says: You don't even believe his writings. You don't even understand his words. You think that if he were here today, he too would be pointing a finger at me, and yet it is he who wrote of me. And should you continue in your disbelief, it is also he who will stand as your accuser, on the last day.” Again, verse 45,“Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope.” And so we've got to ask the question: what's gone wrong here, so as to lead these religious leaders to not even believing the one in whom Moses wrote? What's gotten in their way? What's their roadblock to believing Jesus?Was it merely intellectual? A problem from the neck up? Read Jesus' indictment:You have not heard God's voice (v. 37)You don't have God's word (v. 38)You do not believe the one whom he has sent (v. 38)Therefore, verse 40, “You refuse to come to me that you may have life”And then, verse 42: “But I know that you do not have the love of God within you.”What a daring indictment!“You don't have the love of God within you.”It's like he's saying, “You who accuse me of breaking God's Sabbath, don't even love the God who gave you the Sabbath. You don't love him. You know things about him. You teach things about him. You've convinced others that your life is all about him. And yet if we were to put your heart under the microscope and scour its every corner for signs — what you most enjoy in this life, what you most savor in this world, what your treasure really is — at no point and in no place would we find even a hint of love for the God you claim to worship.”That's what it means for a person to not have the love of God within them. To not have it is to not have it. And why? Why is there no love for God in their heart? Because there's already a love for something else in his place. What is it? What, at bottom, is the roadblock to belief in Jesus? We need everyone in the room, myself included, to ask this question. What, at bottom, is the roadblock to belief in Jesus?Ask it for your unbelieving neighbor, your non-Christian co-worker, your sibling or parent who has walked away from the faith. And ask it for yourself lest you too make shipwreck of your faith in Jesus. What is the ultimate roadblock to belief in Jesus?It's this — uncontested thirst for your own glory. Uncontested thirst for your own glory. That, brothers and sisters, is at the root of unbelief. Not a problem in your mind, not a problem with your upbringing, not a problem with God's so-called lack of evidence. No, no, no. When it really comes down to it, when all is truly laid bare — the reason for man's refusal to bow the knee to Jesus is owing to man's thirst to have others to bow the knee to themselves instead of God.Jesus asks, Verse 44:“How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?”Answer, you can't. You cannot seek to glorify yourself and God simultaneously. Why? Because God's glory contests all others. God's glory outshines all others. God's glory makes our glory look small, and we, in our sin, don't like looking small.Think about it: The painter who wants to think himself the greatest in the world, will detest the museums where Da Vinci is celebrated. Just as the writer who wants to think herself the greatest in the world, will avoid the conversations in which Shakespeare is honored. The singer, the actor, the architect, and the salesman; the mother, the teacher, the doctor, and the lawyer — should they prefer the belief that they are the world's greatest — will intentionally and aggressively shield their eyes from the masters of their field so as to not look small standing next to them. They'd rather be blind and think themselves greatest, than open their eyes and realize they aren't. Friends, God is the ultimate Master. The Holy one. The eternal one. The sovereign, glorious, and omniscient one before whom we don't hold a candle. Should you prefer project “increase self-glory,” how could you love, pursue, praise the God who says, “My glory, I will not give to another”?Jesus' question is one we must regularly ask ourselves: “How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?”So, hear the warning: Belief in God is impossible where praise of self is preferred. Hear that warning, and, now, hear the good news. If you are here today and you take joy in the thought of God being God — being radiant in splendor, held high and celebrated, praised and adored and enjoyed in the heavens…If you know that Jesus is wonderful, and are glad that he's wonderful…If you have tasted how good it is not to have to incessantly labor for even an ounce of momentary worshiped, but to simply delight in worshiping the one whose truly deserving of it anyway…If you treasure being loved, forgiven, and brought near to God, so as to gaze upon his beauty all the rest of your days…If it pleases you to say, “Oh, Father, not to us, but to you be the glory”…Well, it would seem that God has begun a work in you. And your life now as a Christian is a life of simply asking, “God, grow my heart in greater enjoyment of your glory, and greater distaste for my own.” Really, all of the Christian life simply comes down to those two corresponding realities: greater enjoyment of God's glory, greater distaste for your own.ApplicationFor Christians: Ask God, right now, “Search my heart for where uncontested thirst for personal glory still remains. Show me the places, the people, the things in which my prayer of my heart has not been, ‘Hallow be thy name', but ‘hallow be my own.' Convict me, change me, give to me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me. Turn my inborn impulse away from self-glorification, to the happy life of glorifying you. For Non-Christians: Remember, Jesus said what he did in John 5 “so that people might be saved.” His desire this morning, in other words, is not to be your accuser, but your Savior. Ask him to show you, right now, for the very first time, that his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, is actually that one great thing for which your heart has been craving all along. To show you that it will only be in your celebration of him that everything in you will finally be made whole. God made you to revel in his glory, not rival it. God made you to commune with him, not compete with him. Rest — your real, full, deep, lasting rest can be had if you are willing to throw in the towel of project “increase self-glory,” and take up the song of the glory of God. Do it now. Say: “God, make yourself great in my life now.” And then, enjoy God's glory, to your soul's delight.The TableWell, what brings us to the table this morning is the fact that the Scriptures that bear witness to Jesus — to his glory, his majesty, his identity as the Son — bear witness also to his death. Death on behalf of those who, by nature, scorned him, mocked him, and considered him smitten by God. Death as a piercing for our transgressions and crushing for our iniquities so that by his wounds we could be healed.

This lecture comprehensively surveys the legal aspects of divorce and separation, beginning with the historical shift from fault-based to predominantly no-fault grounds for dissolving a marriage. It examines the various forms of spousal support, including rehabilitative and permanent alimony, and how property is divided using either community property or equitable distribution principles. The lecture further details the calculation and modification of child support obligations, often guided by state-specific income-sharing models. Finally, it addresses the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act's role in ensuring consistent enforcement of support orders across state lines and the circumstances under which existing support orders can be altered due to significant life changes.Key Concepts and Topics:Grounds for Divorce and Separation: Fault-based divorce (historical and current relevance)No-fault divorce (irretrievably broken, irreconcilable differences)Legal separation (purposes, legal implications, conversion to divorce)The Divorce Process: Filing of petition/complaintTemporary orders (spousal and child support)Uncontested vs. contested divorceSettlement agreements and court reviewMediation and alternative dispute resolutionTrial on contested issuesFinal decree of dissolution/divorceSpousal Support (Alimony):Historical context and modern trendsTypes of alimony: permanent/durational, rehabilitative, transitional/bridge-the-gap, reimbursementFactors considered in awarding spousal support (length of marriage, age, health, standard of living, contributions, financial resources)Role of fault in spousal support awardsModifiability and non-modifiability of spousal supportImpact of prenuptial agreements on spousal supportProperty Division: Community property (definition, equal division, separate property, commingling, transmutation)Equitable distribution (definition, fair division based on factors, marital vs. separate property, contributions, commingling, transmutation)Treatment of specific assets (e.g., pensions, retirement accounts)Dissipation of marital assetsChild Support: Duty of both parents to support childrenCalculation guidelines (income shares model, percentage of obligor's income model)Factors included in calculations (income, number of children, custody arrangements)Adjustments for shared custody or high-income earnersConsideration of special needs, daycare, and health insurance expensesNon-modifiability by parental agreement (child's best interest)Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA): Purpose of ensuring consistent enforcement and modification across statesContinuing, exclusive jurisdiction of the initial issuing stateRegistration and enforcement of orders in other statesRules for modification when parties moveModification of Support Orders: Requirement of a substantial change in circumstances (income, custody, needs)Modifiability of spousal vs. child supportImputation of income for intentionally underemployed parents

On this episode: It might come as a bit of a surprise that between 2018 and 2023, over half of the elections that took place were uncontested, meaning that there was one, or even zero, candidates vying for seats in those races. That figure this year was closer to 70% – the highest we've seen since we began collecting data on local elections in 2018. Winning an election is obviously a whole lot easier if you're not running against anybody, and the implications of where and how this plays raises important questions about why folks aren't running for office, what effect it has on local politics, and what, if anything, could be done to reverse the trend.  Explore our in-depth analysis: https://ballotpedia.org/Analysis_of_uncontested_elections,_2024  Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates  Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

The Aromas-San Juan school board changed the way its members were elected in 2022. That decision made it harder to find candidates for this election.

From the Sanchez Law Firm, Matthew Sanchez comes in to discuss "uncontested divorces". Plus he also talks about many scenarios of divorce that can make it extremely difficult which include infidelity, children, alimony, drugs and alcohol, property, and domestic violence. All this with TJ on News Radio KKOB   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ken Kruly from Politics and Other Stuff tells us what he's hearing about the timeline for Mayor Brown to leave office. Also, why are there so many uncontested races for local office?

You've likely heard the saying "all politics is local." But here's the hitch. For many local offices, there's often just one candidate running in a race. Sometimes, nobody's running at all. In 2022, 67 percent of races went uncontested. That's according to the nonpartisan research organization BallotReady.That not only leaves voters with a lack of choice, but also raises questions about how and where we choose to live and who influences local policies.We discuss uncontested races and why they matter.

Jim sees some clear parallels between her resignation and President Biden stepping down from his campaign.Next, they observe how Vice President Harris successfully cleared the field to be the next presidential nominee, securing the endorsement of top Democrats and a majority of DNC delegates. Greg points out the irony in how quickly the party of "defending democracy" was to shut down any chance of a robust primary.Finally, they talk about Prime Minister Netanyahu's visit to the United State and how neither Biden nor Harris seem to have any time for him.

On this episode: An interview with Sophia Voight, a political reporter for The Appleton Post-Crescent, part of the USA TODAY NETWORK in Wisconsin. We came across Sophia's reporting about a month ago in a story she wrote just ahead of Wisconsin's state-wide local elections on April 2nd, in which she noticed and documented something that we've been following closely here at Ballotpedia: Local elections, especially in rural areas, are increasingly going uncontested.  Through April of this year, Ballotpedia covered 11,945 elections in 40 states. Of that total, 8,802 (74%) were uncontested–16% more than the annual average between 2018 and 2023 (58%).  Voight joins Ballotpedia's Doug Kronaizl to share what she's learned in her reporting about why folks aren't running for office, what the implications for local governance might be, and what might reverse this trend.  Learn more about the surge of uncontested elections this year: https://ballotpedia.org/Analysis_of_uncontested_elections,_2024  Read Voight's reporting: https://www.postcrescent.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/03/28/rural-wisconsin-communities-struggle-to-attract-candidates-for-elections/73032197007/  Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates  Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Jess Piper is the Executive Director of Blue Missouri and the host of the Dirt Road Democrats podcast. We discuss the reality of living in rural Missouri, the state of education, and the dearth of Democratic candidates across the state.   Rural candidates have little to no support from the state party, but Republicans enjoy the support of local churches. One-third of Missouri is rural, but there is not a single elected Democrat representing these areas. Uncontested races are bad for democracy and without Democrats in the race, there is no contest of ideas. In Missouri, for example, multiple school districts only have four days of school, but there have not been elected Democrats who are willing to push back and properly fund these public schools.  Follow Jess on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/piper4missouri    Follow Mila on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/milaatmos    Follow Future Hindsight on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futurehindsightpod/   Love Future Hindsight?
