Podcasts about Ur

A tale of three cities- There is a city we came out of, a city beside us, and a city we are headed toward. Abraham left behind Ur, not looking back, and he lived separated from the sin of Sodom because his heart was set on looking ahead to a "heavenly country." Do we have a right relationship toward the past, present, and future?

V noci z utorka na stredu zažilo Poľsko dosiaľ najnebezpečnejšiu provokáciu zo strany Ruska. Do jeho vzdušného priestoru vstúpilo niekoľko dronov, pričom viaceré zaleteli až stovky kilometrov do vnútrozemia našich severných susedov.Reakcia bola rázna a o nej, ako aj o tom, čo vlastne Rusko touto operáciou sledovalo, sa Nikola Šuliková Bajánová rozpráva s bývalým ministrom obrany Martinom Sklenárom, ktorý aktuálne pôsobí ako analytik think-tanku Globsec.Zdroje zvukov: TA3, Youtube/APT, Česká televizeOdporúčanie:Prerábky legendárnych filmov nie vždy vyjdú, ale Roseovci s Oliviou Colmanovou a Benedictom Cumberbatchom podľa mňa do tejto kategórie nepatria, a tak sú mojím dnešným odporúčaním.

Escoge la parte de la tierra que prefieras, y nos separaremos. Si tú quieres la tierra a la izquierda, entonces yo tomaré la tierra de la derecha. Si tú prefieres la tierra de la derecha, yo me iré a la izquierda». Génesis 13:9.Abraham era un tío querido para su sobrino Lot. La amistad entre ambos era tan fuerte que, cuando el tío decidió salir de la tierra de Ur, donde estaba toda la familia, Lot decidió acompañarlo.Los dos tenían ganado, sirvientes y familia, y pasaron por muchas cosas juntos. Pero a pesar de los momentos de alegría, las peleas entre sus siervos hicieron que la unión fuera imposible. Entonces Abraham llamó a su sobrino y le dio la oportunidad de decidir dónde quería vivir. Lot tuvo la oportunidad de elegir primero, aunque su tío tenía más edad. Ante esta oportunidad, Lot escogió el lugar más bonito que pudo observar, un lugar donde sería más fácil plantar, cosechar y vivir con su familia. Pero ¿sabes qué? Esa decisión no fue la mejor, ya que se fue a vivir cerca de personas malvadas que no creían en Dios.Esa historia bíblica nos enseña que debemos aprovechar las oportunidades y decidir con sabiduría. Desde niños, necesitamos tomar decisiones sobre la obediencia, los amigos, la alimentación, la ropa, y muchas cosas más. ¿Quién puede ayudarnos a tomar siempre una decisión correcta? ¡Pide la ayuda de Dios cada día!Mi oración: Señor, por favor, ayúdame a tomar buenas decisiones y aprovechar las oportunidades.

Genesis introduces us to Abraham's family, marked by tragedy and unfulfilled dreams. Terah lost his son Haran, while Abraham and Sarah faced the pain of childlessness despite Abraham's name meaning 'exalted father.' The family began a journey from Ur to Canaan but settled halfway in Haran, where Terah died. Abraham eventually continued to Canaan, completing what his father started. This ordinary family, chosen by God despite their brokenness, became the foundation for God's plan to bless all humanity through Jesus Christ, teaching us that God can use our unfinished journeys and family pain as part of His redemptive story.

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour !Je me suis toujours demandé comment et pourquoi le Croissant Fertile a pu devenir le berceau de l'agriculture mais aussi des premières grandes cités états de notre histoire comme Uruk, Sumer et Ur? Après tout, c'est entouré de déserts et il fait super chaud. Parce que malgré la présence du Tigre et de l'Euphrate, même à l'époque, ce n'était pas la terre verdoyante et luxuriante qu'on s'imagine en parlant du “Croissant Fertile”. Et justement, le 18 février 2025 a été publiée dans la revue Antiquity, une étude archéologique qui apporte de nouveaux éléments de réponse à cette question : une équipe a cartographié un immense réseau de canaux dans l'ancienne cité d'Eridu vieille de 5000 ans, tout au sud de l'Irak. L'occasion parfaite pour revenir ensemble sur les débuts de l'agriculture et comment l'ingéniosité humaine a pu transformer une région difficile en berceau des civilisations !Bonne écoute !➤ Un grand merci à Anne Caroline Rendu Loisel pour son temps et pour avoir répondu à mes questions ! Elle enseigne à l'Université de Strasbourg, où il existe un apprentissage à distance du sumérien et de l'akkadien : https://histoire.unistra.fr/formation/diplome-duniversite-de-langues-anciennes/

Così fu generato Gesù Cristo: sua madre Maria, essendo promessa sposa di Giuseppe, prima che andassero a vivere insieme si trovò incinta per opera dello Spirito Santo. Giuseppe suo sposo, poiché era uomo giusto e non voleva accusarla pubblicamente, pensò di ripudiarla in segreto. Mentre però stava considerando queste cose, ecco, gli apparve in sogno un angelo del Signore e gli disse: «Giuseppe, figlio di Davide, non temere di prendere con te Maria, tua sposa. Infatti il bambino che è generato in lei viene dallo Spirito Santo; ella darà alla luce un figlio e tu lo chiamerai Gesù: egli infatti salverà il suo popolo dai suoi peccati». Tutto questo è avvenuto perché si compisse ciò che era stato detto dal Signore per mezzo del profeta: «Ecco, la vergine concepirà e darà alla luce un figlio: a lui sarà dato il nome di Emmanuele», che significa Dio con noi.

Piše Tatjana Pregl Kobe, bereta Mateja Perpar in Igor Velše. Na Festivalu mlade literature Urška leta 2013 je bila pesnica Tina Volarič zaradi poezije, ki jo je žirija zaznala kot redkost, izbrana za najperspektivnejšo mlado literatko leta. Da premore skorajda naraven talent za mišljenje vsebine, iz katere so stkane njene izdelane pesmi, polne medbesedilnih, medumetniških navezav in hkrati z odprto strukturo. Za nagrado je naslednje leto izšel njen prvenec. Čeprav naslov Krožnice večglasnih tišin pravi drugače, je njena dokaj epsko zasnovana govorica glasna, ko se sprašuje, kje je njeno mesto v tem svetu, kje je resnica, kje je naša človečnost? Ne izogiba se komentarjem o feminizmu, politiki, enakopravnosti, državotvornosti. Pesnica, ki ve, da je svet obstajal dolgo, preden je sama vstopila vanj. Obrača se k naravi, skupnosti in prednikom in ve tudi, kaj so domovina, žrtve in vojna. Vendar v tej zbirki pesmi brez moraliziranja išče druge različice na temo preživetja, pri čemer »si dovoli smešno misel svojega rodu, / da so oblaki morda srečni«. Ko na koncu zbirke ni ničesar več za besedami prvega, drugega in tretjega glasu, postane njena zadnja pesem tišina. In se, skupaj s svojimi ilustracijami krogov, ki nimajo ne začetka ne konca, vrne k svoji pesmi začetka, ki je zanjo »razpolovljena praznina«. Tina Volarič je pesnica, ilustratorka in aktivna opazovalka svojega procesa ustvarjanja. Žanrsko ostaja v območju narave, pri čemer pa nikakor ne gre za podobe zgolj z očesom zajetega življenja v njej, še manj za idealizirano lovljenje svetlobnih razpoloženj, temveč so v verze ujete metafore njenega intimnega notranjega sveta in tišine, ki se lahko bere tudi kot refleksija trenutnega stanja njenega kritičnega odnosa do sodobnega dogajanja. Zato ni presenetljivo, da je v letih med 2019 in 2023 sodelovala pri mednarodnem raziskovalnem projektu pod vodstvom finske filozofije dr. Miire Tuominen, v katerem so se filozofi raziskovalno ukvarjali z naravo in moralnim statusom živali v antiki in srednjem veku. Značilnost pesmi in podob v njeni drugi izdani pesniški zbirki Nekje notri je uho je na prvi pogled popolna zvestoba motivom, ki jih je začela preigravati v svoji bogato ilustrirani dvojezični poetični knjigi umetnice Sosedje in tovariši / Neighbours and companions, ki je – na dvesto straneh! – v samo triindvajsetih izvodih izšla leta 2023. Tako vzpostavljeno drugačno razmerje do sveta, ki človeka na poseben način osvobaja, jo je s pozornim notranjim posluhom umetniško vznemirilo kot ilustratorko in pesnico. Že v šestnajstem stoletju je angleški pesnik John Donne o povezanosti z naravo napisal slavne verze, ki danes, v času katastrof in podnebnih sprememb, zvenijo še bolj živo resnični kot nekoč: »Noben človek ni otok, popolnoma sam zase; … in zato nikdar ne pošiljaj poizvedovat, komu zvoni; zvoni tebi.« Z bogato ilustrirano unikatno knjigo, ki jo je sofinansirala fundacija Kone iz Finske, je Tini Volarič uspelo – žal sprva le redkim bralcem – pripeljati živali v naša srca. Zbirka pesmi Nekje notri je uho, v kateri je vseh petnajst pesmi iz te pesničine bibliofilske knjige umetnice, obogatenih s petintridesetimi novimi, je zato morala ugledati luč sveta, da bi z zvočno čutnostjo razširila krila med bralce. Ena od velikih skrivnosti, ki je ob vseh presunljivih pesničinih liričnih prispodobah in vživljanjih vanje najbrž nikoli ne bomo razvozlali, je, kako svet dojemajo živali in rastline, kakšna je njihova resničnost. Kaj čutijo mlade košute, ki brskajo za sledmi in semeni, za vabo pomladnih svetlob? O čem razmišljajo ptice, milostne spremljevalke nakodranega vetra, razgrnjene glasnice kipečega petja? O čem tuhta zimska ptičica, ki skače in se oglaša cvrr-civk, naglašen tako, da nima z upehano uro nič skupnega, čeprav se ujemata? O čem sanja pes, ki izpod snega ujame redek zapisani vonj? »Nekega dne / je od neznano kje prispela / kolonija tjulnjev / in se nagnila na / nenaseljen prostor / med palcem in kazalcem / moje leve roke. // Kar dobro se razumemo. / od tedaj pravzaprav živim / polno življenje.« (Življenje je nepredvidljivo) O čem piše, kaj čuti pesnica v starem sadovnjaku s koščkom sadeža, popkom sveta v svojem grlu, ko pogoltne slino in postane jablana? Ko lahko le tiho opazuje, kako mlada srna nemoteno grizlja veje po planetariju, ko šteje drobne utrinke jabolk. Ko njeno besedo napolni voda in jo razlije čez brzice, curke, padce, mokrice, lagune, jezera v morje. V ocean besed, kjer valuje brezčasje: »Nebo pljusne / skozi odprta / usta noči.« Pisateljica Katherine Rundell v knjigi The Golden Mole: and Other Living Treasure (Zlati krt: in drugi živi zakladi) opisuje dvaindvajset znanih in manj znanih ogroženih živali. Želela je, da bi se zaradi opisanih resničnih zgodbic bralci spet navdušili in zaljubili v lepoto sveta, v njihovo krhkost in nenavadnost. Tudi ob branju pesmi Tine Volarič, ki si na svoj intimno razgaljajoč način želi isto, se zavemo, da smo si ljudje in živali bolj podobni, kot si želimo priznati in kot vemo. Privlačnost, ljubezen, zapeljivost, sla, materinstvo, uživanje v pomladnih razigranostih, v dobri hrani – vse to so človeški in živalski instinkti. Skupne so tudi stvari, ki se jim želimo izogniti: trpljenje, izguba, ponižanje, osamljenost, bolečina, bolezen in smrt. Kljub precej široki paleti značajskih lastnosti vse upesnjene like, ki iskrijo presunljivo podobo večini nevidnega sveta, druži kronična ujetost v pesničini notranjosti, ko poistovetena z njimi spretno razkriva zamolčane in temačnejše teme. Te tudi v bledih konturah vsakdana puščajo nezamenljivo sled, pesničina nesporna zmožnost vživljanja pa daje občutek, da so živali in rastline, ki jim je vdahnila življenje v besedah, dejansko otipljiva bitja. Pesmi in podobe Tine Volarič v knjigi Nekje notri je uho nagovarjajo k drugačnim oblikam bivanja, so etična zaveza k spoštovanju vsega bivajočega: »Krompirjevo očesce me gleda / naravnost v oči, / ne odmakne pogleda, / vse bolj vame vidi, vedno globlje gre. / Spusti veko, jo dvigne, / požene kalček.« (Zapeljevanje I) Tako pesmi občutkov, ki si jih delimo z vsem bivajočim na zemlji, kot avtoričine ilustracije izhajajo iz občutja narave kot brezčasnega prostora, v katerem Tina Volarič vzpostavlja svoj red simbolnega odnosa do vsega bivajočega. Podobe gozdnih pokrajin ne predstavljajo sveta, ampak njegov duhovni odzven, fraktalno povezanost, vsenavzočnost, vsepovezanost. avtoričine temno simbolne ilustracije z vejami objemajočih se dreves zato ne potrebujejo ne razlage ne naslovov, saj je pomen ravno v odsotnosti konkretnega pomena. Vse, kar je, je občutek povezanosti med človekom, živalmi, rastlinami in pokrajino. Ne kot razmerje, temveč kot enovitost. V teh pesmih in podobah Tine Volarič se uresniči redka umetniška alkimija, ki povezuje naravo, čas, svetlobo in človeka v en sam trenutek tišine. »V oboke vršanja. V oboke besed. / Nekje tu notri je uho. // Poslušaj.«

Ana Lía de Urán, alumna de la Escuela de Imaginadores, tenía una sensibilidad especial para la pintura y la historia del arte, y es esta pasión la que le sirve de hilo conductor en su libro de cuentos inédito Ángeles bellos como cuchillos. A esta colección pertenece el relato «El Evangelio según San Esteban» Sirva este humilde homenaje del colectivo de la Escuela de Imaginadores para recuerdo de Ana Lía. "Si el maestro, como ellos le llaman, me hubiera pintado una voz, yo les diría que entre las piedras y los pinceles no hubo cielo ni milagro ni memoria. Solo la nada. El eco de un silencio negro chocando en el vacío. El negro infinito. El silencio sin fondo". https://www.escueladeimaginadores.com/ Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Šéf opozičních Pirátů Zdeněk Hřib si po zvolení do čela strany loni na podzim stanovil za cíl dosáhnout dvojciferného výsledku ve sněmovních volbách. Ten je podle něj už na dohled. „A proto jsme se rozhodli trošku zvýšit laťku. Protože to, co by se stalo s naší zemí, kdyby to tady shrábl všechno Andrej Babiš a vládl by se svými extremistickými přáteli, by určitě nebylo dobře. Proto říkáme, že chceme porazit extremistické SPD i s jejich přívažky. A stát se tak třetí nejsilnější stranou v českém parlamentu,“ prohlásil Hřib v předvolebním speciálu Ptám se já 4. září v Next Zone na pražském Smíchově. Pirátům přitom loni mnozí predikovali konec ve vysoké politice. Po dvou nevydařených volbách, stažení se z koaliční vlády, výměně předsedy a odchodu známých tváří jim propadaly preference. Strana teď ale opět roste a čtyři týdny před klíčovými volbami do Poslanecké sněmovny by podle průzkumů získala kolem 9 procent hlasů. Podle Hřiba se jeho strana poučila z nezdařené digitalizace, kvůli které přišel předchozí šéf Pirátů o funkci ministra pro místní rozvoj, což vyústilo právě v odchod celé partaje do opozice. „Určitě jsme se v tom poučili i z hlediska toho, jak ty projekty řídit. Že je potřeba pro ně zajistit dostatečný počet kvalifikovaných odborníků. Ale také, že skutečně nelze akceptovat, když třeba Ministerstvo financí tu digitalizaci sabotuje a nechce na to poskytnout dostatečné prostředky,“ uvedl pirátský předseda. V případě, že by se strana dostala opět do vlády, slibuje voličům zajištění rychlejší výstavby, úlevy na daních ve prospěch rodin nebo takzvaný protikorupční úklid. „Tady ukážu takový grafík, jak se povolovaly byty například tady v Praze. A tady rok 2021 je rok, kdy se povolovalo v Praze nejvíce bytů. To je v době, kdy jsem byl primátorem já. To znamená, za Pirátů se tady povolovalo zdaleka nejvíc od devadesátých let. Nikdy předtím, ani nikdy potom Český statistický úřad neeviduje více povolených bytů v Praze,“ argumentoval Hřib před publikem ve speciálu Ptám se já v pražské Next Zone. Právě otázky dostupnějšího bydlení zajímaly i řadu přítomných diváků. O jaké resorty by měli Piráti po volbách zájem a zda by se mezi adepty na některý z ministerských postů objevil i Ivan Bartoš, nechtěl Zdeněk Hřib komentovat. „Teď fakt nejsme v situaci, že bychom si měli rozdělovat nějaké hypotetické židličky v nějaké vládě nebo říkat, kdo bude premiér. V tuto chvíli fakt nemá smysl tohle řešit. My máme jasno v tom, kdo ve vládě být nemá,“ dodal. Jak chtějí Piráti zajistit dostupnější bydlení? A s kým by chtěli a hlavně dokázali vládnout? --Podcast Ptám se já.

Si Ťin-pchin, Putin, Kim Čong-un, Lukašenko, Vučič – spoločnosť, v ktorej je v týchto hodinách Robert Fico. Oslavuje koniec druhej svetovej vojny v Číne.A ak nemecký kancelár Merz hovorí o Vladimírovi Putinovi ako o „možno najväčšom vojnovom zločincovi našej doby“, slovenský premiér tomuto Putinovi verejne vojnu ani nespomenie. Turecký Recep Tajip Erdogan naopak po stretnutí s ruským prezidentom skloňuje „nie konfliktu, priorita pre dialóg“. „Diskutovali sme, ako dosiahnuť spravodlivý mier medzi Ruskom a Ukrajinou,“ hovorí. Slovenský premiér naopak kritizoval Ukrajinu za útoky na energetickú infraštruktúru a s Moskvou dohadoval obchodnú spoluprácu.Ruky preč od neho dáva Brusel, rovnako domáca opozícia. Napriek tomu je v Číne v pozícii premiéra krajiny. Kam takýmito krokmi zaťahuje Slovensko, v ktorom žijú ešte stále z veľkej časti vyznávači západných hodnôt slobody a demokratických pravidiel?Témy pre Miroslava Wlachovského, bývalého šéfa diplomacie, ktorý aktuálne pôsobí v Globsecu.„Robert Fico nás ťahá von zo Západu. Ťahá nás na Východ. Ťahá nás do toho, čo Briti volajú ‚uncharted territories' – do neprebádaných území, ktoré nie sú pre túto krajinu ničím dobrým,“ hovorí Wlachovský.Podľa bývalého šéfa slovenskej diplomacie by premiér mal svoju cestu v Číne vysvetliť v parlamente. „Určite by si ho parlament mal zavolať. Mali by ho zavolať na zahraničný výbor. Mali by sa ho pýtať, kam túto krajinu vedie. Prečo mení princípy slovenskej zahraničnej politiky,“ tvrdí Miroslav Wlachovský.Nestačí podľa neho, že premiér povie jednu vetu o euroatlantickom priestore ako o dôležitom pre Slovensko, je potrebné fakticky to napĺňať. „To je to, čo sa nedeje. Deje sa presný opak,“ hovorí bývalý šéf slovenskej diplomacie.Podcast pripravil Jaroslav Barborák.

Today, we are looking at Ephesians 1, and we're talking about the riches, the richesthat we have in Christ Jesus. I made the statement the other day that Isaac wasborn to wealth. Remember his father Abraham was called by God to leave Ur ofthe Chaldees and go to a land that God would show him. And God promised that Hewould bless him. He would make him a great nation. And in him all the nationsof the earth would be blessed (Genesis 12:1-3). And then God promised him a sonthrough whom this seed, this great nation would come. But it took a long time.And finally, Isaac was born. But by the time Isaac was born, Abraham, becauseof the blessings of God, was a wealthy, wealthy man. Isaac didn't do anything.If you read about him in the Old Testament, he was born to wealth.  Andmy friend, we've been born again to great riches in Christ Jesus. That's whatthe book of Ephesians is about. We see that especially in verses 2-6, becauseGod the Father, God the Father has chosen us. He has adopted us. He hasaccepted us in Christ. All these rich blessings are made possible with theFather in heaven. Before we were alienated from Him, but now we're reconciledto Him through Christ.  InEphesians 1:7-12, we see our riches we have from God the Son. In Him we havethe redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. And again, it'saccording to the “riches of His grace”. He has revealed to us His will.The mystery that's been hidden in the past ages but now revealed to us throughJesus Christ. And that is that He will bring everything together. That “inthe dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in oneall things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth--in Him”(v. 10). Wehave something to look forward to. The world has nothing to look forward toexcept another day possibly. And they don't even know that they are guaranteedthat. They have no future. They're without hope. We'll read in Ephesians 2:12.But we have hope. Hope in Christ. A future that's bright. A future that's sure,secure, anchored to Jesus Christ. What a rich blessing.  Todaywe see in verse 11, "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance,being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all thingsaccording to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christshould be to the praise of His glory." What is the will of God? Whathas God predestined us for? That we should be to the praise of His glory. Everyborn-again believer, every saint of God has been called to glorify God, toglorify the Lord Jesus Christ, be to the praise of His glory. And this willtake place one day. But even now, we are to live for His glory.  Notonly have we “obtained an inheritance”, but as some translations read, "inwhom also we were made an inheritance", we are His, Christ, inheritance!Both are true and the one includes the other. In Christ we have a wonderfulinheritance (read 1 Peter 1:1-4), and in Christ we are an inheritance. We arevaluable to Him. Think of the price God paid to purchase us and make us part ofHis inheritance! God the Son is the Father's love gift to us; and we are theFather's love gift to His Son. Read John 17 and note how many times Christcalls us "those whom Thou hast given Me." The church is Christ's body(Eph. 1:22-23), building (Eph. 2:19-22), and bride (Eph. 5:22-23); Christ'sfuture inheritance is wrapped up in His church.  Weare "joint-heirs with Christ", which means that He cannotclaim His inheritance apart from us! Romans 8:17 says: "And ifchildren, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if indeed wesuffer with Him that we may also be glorified together with Him."  What a rich blessing that we have aninheritance and at the same time we are His inheritance.  Today,are you enjoying the inheritance you have in Christ? Godbless!

Send us a textDisclaimer: The views expressed in this episode are Judge Robert Rassp's personal opinions and do not reflect the official position of the State of California, Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC), or the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB).In this episode of Deconstructing Comp, Yvonne and Rafael are joined by Judge Robert Rassp for a straightforward discussion about the fundamental benefits of workers' compensation and why they are important. Judge Rassp walks us through the foundation of the system, from medical treatment to temporary and permanent disability benefits, and explains how these core protections are designed to support injured employees while balancing employer responsibilities.The conversation also explores how utilization review, independent medical review, and evolving case law influence the delivery of these benefits. Judge Rassp emphasizes the importance of fairness, education, and due process in ensuring that both injured employees and employers understand the system and can navigate it effectively.According to Rassp: “Temporary disability keeps food on the table during recovery. Permanent disability recognizes when someone's life has been permanently changed by an injury.”Please join us for this informative episode with one of our industry's most experienced and esteemed educators. Judge Rassp is also an adjunct professor at Pepperdine University's Caruso School of Law, where he teaches workers' compensation law, and he's a founding member of the CC&R Band, a parody band that performs classic rock and roll hits at many Southern California industry events.  Key Terms from the Episode:Medical Treatment – Care provided to cure or relieve the effects of a work-related injury or illness.Temporary Disability (TD) – Wage replacement benefits provided to an injured employee while recovering and unable to work.Permanent Disability (PD) – Benefits awarded when an injured employee has lasting impairment that affects their ability to earn wages.Causation – the link establishing that an injury or illness arose out of and in the course of employment, or more simply put, that the injured employee's work contributed to their injury or illness. This is also referred to as AOE/COE.WCAB (Workers' Compensation Appeals Board) – The judicial body that adjudicates disputes in California's workers' compensation system.Utilization Review (UR) – The process by which an employer or insurer evaluates a medical treatment request for appropriateness and necessity.Independent Medical Review (IMR) – The appeal process when a treatment request is denied through UR, conducted by an independent physician reviewer.Case Law – Published court or WCAB decisions that interpret statutes and guide future workers' compensation cases.¡Muchas Gracias!

Hrup ni več značilen samo za mestna središča, vse pogosteje ga kot obremenitev doživljamo tudi na podeželju, kjer kosilnice, puhalniki listja in druge naprave posegajo v vsakdanjo tišino. Ker se tudi službeno delo seli v domača okolja, se odpira vprašanje, kako hrup vpliva na koncentracijo in produktivnost v delovnem okolju. V oddaji pudarjamo tudi negativne zdravstvene vplive hrupa, preverili pa smo še, kaj o prekomernem hrupu v zasebnem okolju določa zakonodaja in kakšen je odziv ministrstva v primeru mariborske pianistke, ki je bila kaznovana zaradi igranja klavirja. Kdaj gre za običajen zvok in kdaj za prekomeren hrup?Sogovornice: dr.

Our scripture passage is about two types of wisdom, so I thought it would be fun to share with you some advice I found on the internet that I will get you into trouble if you do follow it: Carry a fork with you. If someone tries to rob you, pull it out of your pocket and say, thank you Lord for this meal Im about to have and charge at them with the fork. Always say what you're thinking out loud. "Don't breathe, 100% of people who breathe die at some point." "Dont go to the doctors office if you only have one problem. Wait until you have four or five; thats how you get the most bang for your buck." If life gives you lemons, squeeze the juice into a water gun and shoot other people in the eyes. "When confronted by a bear, give it a hug and tell him it'll be alright." We laugh at these bits of wisdom I found on the internet because they are so foolish they are comical. In James 3:13-18, we are reminded of two sources of wisdom, and of the two, we as a species gravitate to one over the other. Wisdom is the application of knowledge. According to James 3:13-18, not all wisdom is good. The Source of Worldly Wisdom What is worldly wisdom? James says that it is, earthly, natural, and demonic (v. 15). Well that sounds a bit harsh does it not? Lets dive a bit deeper into what James means here before we judge whether or not he said too much. The kind of wisdom that is earthly, natural, and demonic is the kind that is motivated and driven by, bitter jealousy and selfish ambition (v. 14). So what is bitter jealousy and what does it look like? The Greek word for jealousy is... are you ready for it? The Greek word is zēlos. Do you think there may a better way to translate this word? Of course you do, a better translation for this word is our English word zeal! Zeal can be positive or negative. The prophet Elijah was zealous for God is a good way, and that zeal was demonstrated on multiple occasions by standing against evil and speaking on behalf of God, even when it was not safe for him to do so; when his life was threatened by Queen Jezebel, Elijah prayed: I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of armies; for the sons of Israel have abandoned Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they have sought to take my life (1 Kin. 19:10). Zeal can also become a bad thing. Zeal can turn into bitterness, rivalry, and even pride. In the case of James 3:14, it is a harsh zeal that places the individual at the center of his universe at whatever cost may come to those around him. The kind of bitter Jealousy (harsh zeal) James is talking about is self-centered. The person with this kind of mindset is one whose glory and mission in this world is his own. The other source for worldly wisdom is selfish ambition. There is not much I need to say to make sure you understand what selfish ambition is. It is the kind of thing we see every four years in America: How do I make sure I get what I want. There is only one Greek word that is used here for selfish ambition, and it is eritheia. In ancient Greek it means strife, contentiousness, and selfishness. It is a word that was also used by the Greek Philosopher Aristotle to describe a self-seeking pursuit of political office by unfair means.[1] It is used in the New Testament to describe the jealous or angry leader who, forms a group which emotionally or physically withdraws from the rest of the church.[2]These are the kinds of people Paul described in Philippians 1:15-17, Some... proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking that they are causing me distress in my imprisonment. There are varying degrees that bitter jealousy and selfish ambition can come into the life of a person, but none of it is from God. Even the best of us can cave to the kinds of vices that lead to worldly wisdom. Consider some of the people from the Bible such as Abraham, David, and Solomon. God told Abraham that he would father a child with Sarah, but because pregnancy seemed impossible to the couple, Sarah came up with another plan that was culturally acceptable. Sarah said to her husband: See now, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children. Please have relations with my slave woman; perhaps I will obtain children through her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai (Gen. 16:2). So, the slave woman got pregnant and had a son and what Abraham got in return was one big giant mess that we are still dealing with today. David wrote much of the Psalms that are in our Bible, and he knew his Bible pretty well! He understood what Gods word said of Israels kings in Deuteronomy and most likely had memorized it. He knew that as king, he was not to acquire the kinds of properties the kings of the other nations collected to measure their glory and strength such as many horses or many wives, nor was he to hoard silver and gold (see Deut. 17:16-20). We know David knew this because he even wrote a song about it that included the verse: Some praise their chariots and some their horses, but we will praise the name of the Lord, our God (Ps. 20:7). Yet at the height of his reign as king, he conducted a census to measure the strength of his nation instead of trusting the God who told Him that his power did not come from numbers but from God alone. Can you see what Abraham and Davids stories all have in common? They followed after the wisdom of the world instead of trusting the word of God as their source of wisdom. Abraham wanted a son so badly and for his legacy to go on, so he took matters into his own hands and got his female slave pregnant. David conducted a census just like the other kings did because he needed to know how he and his nation compared to other nations. If you listen closely to the pages of scripture you can hear the serpents question with these men: Has God really said...? The wisdom of the world would lead you to an easier and wider road rather than a narrow and more difficult one. The wisdom of the world would have you erect a house on sand instead of spending the time necessary to lay a good foundation. Heavenly Wisdom Unlike worldly wisdom, the kind of wisdom that leads to the thriving life God created us to know and enjoy does not come from within, or from this world, or beneath; it comes from above where God is seated. The wisdom from above is pure, peace-loving, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy, impartial, free of hypocrisy, and full of good fruits (v. 17). From where does heavenly wisdom come from? It comes from God! Where can I gain this kind of wisdom? From the counsel God has already given, which is His word. We already saw in the first chapter that those of us who lack wisdom, are to ask God for it without doubting (1:5-6); the source of the kind of wisdom we need comes from the word of God. We gain wisdom from above when we first listen to what God has said through His word and then become a doer of it by putting what we read into practice (see 1:21-25). But here is the thing... there is no wisdom from above if you do not have the kind of faith that moves you to really trust the truth of Gods word. It is one thing to say you believe the Bible to be true and another to act upon that belief. Think for a moment about what we say we believe at Meadowbrooke; this is what we state on our webpage about the Bible: We believe the Bible, including the Old and New Testaments, is the divine revelation, the original autographs of which were verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit, thus rendering them trustworthy and solely authoritative in faith and practice (2 Tim. 3:16, 2 Pet. 1:20-21). The Scriptures reveal the mind of God concerning the need and the method of human redemption, the character and destiny of mankind, and are useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (Jn. 5:39, 2 Tim. 3:16-17). The more important question is not if we are okay with that statement, but do we really believe it? The Bible testifies of itself: All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man or woman of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work (2 Tim. 3:16-17). In the book of Hebrews, we are told, For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart (4:12). But do you really believe it to be what it claims? If you believe the Bible to be the word of God and that it is beneficial for teaching, for correcting, and training in righteousness, then how is it shaping your choices in life, what kind of influence is it having on your relationships, how does it affect how you behave and function at work? Do you believe the Bible to be the word of God even if what it tells you to do with your life makes no sense to those around you and the rest of the world? Think about some of the things that God told His people to do. God told Abraham to leave his home in Ur and promised him a child, even though he and his wife Sarah were quickly advancing in age to the point that fathering a child would be highly improbable. The conventional wisdom of Abrahams day suggested that he father a child through one of his servants, but that was not the promise God made to Abraham. God promised a son that would be both his and Sarahs, and in their old age God provided an heir. God used men who acted upon the word of God when others thought they were nuts. Men like Moses who God commissioned to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt. Men like Joshua who God told to march around Jericho a bunch of times while blowing seven trumpets and then on the seventh day after the seventh time around the city to shout to bring down the walls of the city. Men like Gideon who God ordered to cut his army of 32,000 soldiers down to 300 to face an army of at least 135,000; each of Gideons soldiers were to carrying a torch, a clay pot, and a trumpet that they would blow after breaking the clay pot at night while surround the 135,000 Midianite army and then shout: A sword for the Lord and for Gideon! and this would be the way they would defeat an army that outnumbered them by 440 to 1 (see Judges 7:1-8:10). God raised a shepherd boy whose own father and brothers did not think much of to be a king over Israel, and it would be through his descendants a savior would be born who would rule the nations. God spoke through unlikely prophets of old, and choose an unassuming and impoverished virgin girl and her fianc to raise up the promised Messiah that she alone would be the biological parent of, and the child would grow up and live the life we could never live in a little country about the size of New Jersey for the purpose of suffering on a cross and dying under the wrath of God a death we all deserved. This is why the apostle Paul wrote, For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God (1 Cor. 1:18). Gods wisdom is different! Not only is the wisdom of God different, but it is in a whole different category than the wisdom of the world. In what way is it different? We are told in verse 17, But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial, free of hypocrisy. Gods words and His ways rub against the grain of the worlds conventional wisdom and is the reason the prophet Isaiah wrote of God, For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, declares the Lord (55:8). The question for you, dear brothers and sisters, is what are you doing with it, or maybe a better question for some of you is, What will you do with His word? Conclusion What wisdom is guiding you? What wisdom is shaping your decisions? What wisdom are you applying to your marriage, your children, and your friendships? James is not offering us an option here, for what the Holy Spirit is showing us in James is that if you belong to Jesus, then you have no business with the kind of wisdom that is earthly, natural, and demonic. Why, because we are kingdom people! I told you that I believe what James is doing is simply applying Jesus sermon on the mount to everyday life. I have shared with you repeatedly that the way you come to Jesus is as one who is poor in spirit, one who mourns over sin, and one who is meek enough to lay you pride before the cross of Christ. These are the first three of Jesus beatitudes and are what theologians call, the beatitudes of need. The fourth beatitude is the fruit of the first three: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied (Matt. 5:6). How can I be satisfied? By finding my satisfaction in the One who is infinitely righteous and from whom true wisdom is found. What does a hunger and thirst for righteousness produce when that hunger and thirst is satisfied in Jesus? It produces what theologians call the beatitudes of action. I will pick up on this next Sunday, but for now I think it is enough for you to see what James is doing with wisdom and our Lords beatitudes. What kind of fruit does wisdom from above produce? It is pure, peace-loving, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy, impartial, free of hypocrisy. Pure: Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will receive mercy (Matt. 5:8). Peace-loving: Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God (Matt. 5:9). Gentle (meek): Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth (Matt. 5:5). Reasonable (compliant): Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 5:3). Full of mercy: Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy (Matt. 5:7). Impartial / free of hypocrisy: Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted (Matt. 4). Full of good fruit: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied (Matt. 5:6). My question for you is what are you doing with the wisdom that comes from above? It is the wisdom from above that calls those who follow Jesus through the narrow gate instead of the broad gate (Matt. 7:13-14). The wisdom from above calls the Christian to build upon the rock instead of sand (Matt. 7:24-29). The wisdom from above calls us to action in such a way that we do not only call Jesus Lord but live in subjection to His lordship (Matt. 7:22-21). The wisdom that is earthly, natural, and demonic will lead to death. The wisdom from above will lead to the kind of living where you can truly thrive as a child of God. Some of you may need to turn from whatever wisdom that has been guiding you, by humbling yourself before God Almighty. I will leave you with James 4:3-4 and you can do with it what seems best in light of what we have considered today: You ask and do not receive, because you ask with the wrong motives, so that you may spend what you request on your pleasures. You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. [1] Peter H. Davids, The Epistle of James: A Commentary on the Greek Text, New International Greek Testament Commentary (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1982), 151. [2] Ibid.

Episode 243How 2 Redirect LifeSensers! One of the most common topics that comes up in the manosphere…what traits about a woman makes her a compliment to a man of purpose? This one can be talked about for days on end, but I wanted to share my own thoughts on what makes a woman a compliment to the life I'm working towards on a day to day basis. Granted it's not everything listed in this show, but I believe it would do both men and women a perspective to take into consideration as we all figure out how to master the balance between each other. Looking back at the past and the mistakes as well as accomplishments earned, would you want your kid(s) to follow that same path as you? I'd say some I would want them to follow and other parts I wish they would learn sooner than I did for their own mental health's sake. Learn from others' mistakes such as us as parents and do your best to make your own mark on this earth while you're still here. “Im done with this shit!” How many times have we felt or actually went through with quitting something we were involved in because it became overwhelming to us?
