Podcasts about Vain

If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. (Jas 1:26-27 KJV)

Christianity is not merely a religion filled with rituals and observances to be kept. The Apostle Paul told the Corinthians that it was a message which they experienced. Indeed, even today the Holy Spirit is still at work through the preaching of the gospel to bring people to experience the gospel of God so their burdens of sin, guilt and shame, are taken away in an instant. It is the reception of the gospel which opens spiritually blind eyes, unstops spiritually deaf ears to be able to hear the voice of God, and officiates the adoption of lost souls into the Kingdom and family of God!

Today we read one of the most meaningful chapters in the Bible > Ch. 15 of 1 Corinthians. Many verses “jump out” inviting our meditation. The one we have chosen to really reflect upon is v10.  Paul laments on his unworthiness, but then says, “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain.  On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God.”We hear the word grace used a lot in Christian circles.  There are popular hymns about “amazing grace” and how the Lord has “saved a wretch like me.”  Careful Bible readers more than anyone else appreciate “the wonder of his grace.”  But we need to thoughtfully reflect on the example of Paul and his utter commitment of service to his Lord to see that “his grace toward me was not in vain.”No one can earn salvation so that they deserve it!  We must ask ourselves in accepting “his grace” – ‘What kind of motivation is this creating in my heart?  Can it be that for all too many in these “last days” that his grace is taken for granted and it fails to motivate them to live really committed lives, failing to follow the example of Paul?Let us realize that our commitment is really seen in all the small things we do (or don't do) every day.  Paul urged his companions in this.  We will soon read in 2 Cor. 8 how he “urged Titus that as he had started, so he should complete among you this act of grace.”   That “act of grace” was in “taking part  in the relief of the saints” who were in “extreme poverty” [v.2,4]   Paul tells the Corinthians,  “… you excel in everything – in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you – see that you excel in this act of grace also.” [v.6,7]

In this message from our Ten Commandments Series, we dive into what it truly means to not take the Lord's Name in vain. Far beyond avoiding profanity, Scripture reveals that carrying God's name in vain is about misrepresenting His character, using His authority without intimacy, and living as though His Name has no weight. From the sobering story of the seven sons of Sceva in Acts 19 to the holiness of Yahweh revealed at Sinai, this sermon challenges us to carry the Name of Jesus with reverence, power, and authenticity. You'll discover how complacency, compromise, mixture, hypocrisy, and powerlessness can all desecrate His Name—and how radical love, holy fear, and true identity in Christ restore us to be a people who bear His Name rightly.

Matt KerrMatthew 9:35-38Outside PeopleAugust 31, 2035

Let us pray for a humble and servant heart. Merciful Father, you have taught us that those who believe in your Son will not be condemned but have already passed from death to life. As we trust that Jesus humbled himself in obedience to your will and gave up his life for us, help us not to be conformed to this world, but to dedicate ourselves to you, and do what pleases you. We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Dear Diary & Listeners,    There are a few moments that leave me truly speechless. There are fewer moments that leave me in an aftermath of tears.    Tonight, you get to experience one of those with me.    Welcome back to The Amanda Show I guess...   ...but like   Be fucking nice to each other. For real.    xoxo, Amanda

In this Message Pastor Les Teaches on the third commandment “Do not take the name of the Lord in vain.” It's more than words—it's about how we live and represent God. From Acts 19, we see the sons of Sceva try to use Jesus' name without knowing Him. The lesson? Authority in His name comes only through intimacy with Him. We carry God's name in vain through complacency, compromise, mixture, hypocrisy, and powerlessness. Taking His name isn't about empty speech—it's about identity. When we misuse His name, it's identity theft. When we honor it with reverence and obedience, We steward His name and Represent Him rightly  The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God. At Mercy Culture, one of our unique characteristics is that we are a presence driven church. We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God. Each week, you will hear a teaching from our Lead Pastors, Les and Nikki Cody or another leader in our community. To learn more about Mercy Culture, visit https://mercyculturewaco.com

I admit freely I am a vain person. I always have been this way, but found positive outlets to mitigate negative feelings. But my current battle has me struggling intensely with what is merely a consequence of my disease and it's completely out of my control. Here I discuss the negative consequences and my drive to mitigate vain emotions with respect to my terminal diseases. It won't be easy...

Although atheism is rife in our country, is not an even greater disaster those who go to places of Christian worship and yet, in God's eyes, fail to offer to him the heart-felt worship he seeks. The wide variety of Churches must surely indicate this.   But we must avoid a judgmental attitude, that is God's prerogative, however we cannot help seeing some of the differences between first century Christianity and that which exists today. .Our first aim must be to make sure we ourselves are approaching God and His Son in the way he desires.Our second aim should be to try to help others whom we fear are failing in their approach to effectively worship God.  Now Jesus, in confronting this failure, bluntly said that the type of worship he was seeing was ”in vain.” How tragic that any worship is in vain.  One cannot totally blame the atheist and agnostic when they turn their backs on Christianity as they see such a contradictory mix of churches .A major reason why we read the Bible every day is to get a right understanding of what God and his Son Jesus, require of us. Only through God's word do we learn how they should be served and worshipped.In today's reading (Mark 7) Jesus calls the Pharisees and Scribes “hypocrites”[v.6], that is, people who put on a false front.  He quotes what God caused Isaiah to prophecy (as in his 29th chapter v.13); for God declared, “This people honours me with their lips, but their heart is far from me, in vain do they worship me; teaching as doctrine the commandments of men.”[v.7]How much worship today is pleasing to God?  Only God knows, but the above quotation shows there are two aspects we must get right.  Our attitude of heart, worship is not just a ritual, it must reflect the desires we feel in our heart.  Secondly, that the things we teach and believe are truly confirmed by God's word.Words we read a week ago in the last chapter of Romans spring to mind, “watch for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine you have been taught; avoid them.  For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites …” [v.17,18]  Let us make sure our appetite is fed every day by the word of God, the words of Jesus ringing in our minds, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” [John 6 v.35].

Psalm 127 reminds us that success, security, and legacy are not achieved by striving alone, but by trusting in God’s provision. It’s a call to build lives—homes, cities, and families—on a foundation of faith, not fear.

In this LIVE episode, the hosts explore the often-overlooked topic of varicoceles. Dr. Houman sheds light on the prevalence of this condition, affecting approximately 15% of men, and discusses the challenges in diagnosing it. Dr. Houman also delves into the significant implications varicoceles have on fertility, particularly how they elevate testicular temperature, adversely affecting sperm quality and DNA integrity.

The Third Commandment is easily misunderstood. It's not just about avoiding profanity; it's about how we carry God's name in the world. The Hebrew meaning of 'take' actually implies 'carry' or 'bear' - we are called to be God's representatives. This commandment challenges us to consider: Are we truly embodying God's character in our daily lives? The Israelites' story serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the consequences of misrepresenting God. We're invited to reflect on how we might be using God's name in vain, not through our words, but through our actions and attitudes. This message urges us to align our lives with God's will, moving beyond mere religious activities to a genuine, transformative relationship with our Creator.

When It Seems Your Abounding is in Vain

On the night of the 9th of Av, our ancestors cried tears of despair—tears the Talmud calls “בכיה של חנם”, baseless weeping. G-d's response wasn't punitive, it was prophetic: “You wept in vain, and this day will be one of tears for generations.” But what were they really crying about? And why do we still cry?This class explores the roots of generational trauma in the Jewish psyche, from the fear of the spies to the quiet despair echoing through the Jewish community today. We'll dive deep into the psychological and spiritual scars left by centuries of exile, oppression, and self-doubt and discover how fear can shape reality more powerfully than facts.Using Torah, Talmud, Chassidut, and modern psychological insight, we'll unpack how vain tears become real sorrow—and how breaking the cycle starts with reclaiming our Divine power. From elephants in the circus to Harvard psychology experiments, this session will challenge you to reframe your internal narrative, discard inherited limitations, and begin the long-awaited journey from grief to redemption.KEY TAKEAWAYS:The Origin of Tisha B'Av: Understand the deeper meaning behind the “vain tears” of our ancestors and why this night became one of generational grief.Trauma as Inheritance: Discover how Jewish despair today is often rooted not in current events, but in stories, beliefs, and fears passed down through generations.The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Learn how our perception of self shapes our destiny—and why seeing ourselves as grasshoppers ensures others will too.From Powerlessness to Purpose: Gain tools to shift from victimhood to empowerment, and how G-d never asks us to face a challenge without first giving us the strength to overcome it.Healing the Diaspora Spirit: Explore how our generation can begin to break the cycle of inherited fear and transform Tisha B'Av into a festival of light.#TishaBav #VainTears #GenerationalTrauma #Bible #BibleStudy #spies #TorahLessons #TorahPortion #Torah #Devarim #Deutoronomy #inneregypt Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

Are you stuck in a daily grind? In this episode of Spirit Connection, we have a special excerpt from a recent Monthly Mentoring Session and it's so encouraging!  Doug brings another part of the prophetic word for this month. If you are longing for a place of rest and not toil, you'll want to watch or listen to learn what God is doing in this season.  The post No Longer Laboring in Vain [Episode 400] first appeared on Doug Addison.

In this episode, we dive into the arc of the Vain Controller, the shadowy force behind performative success, image obsession, and the illusion of perfection. Known in our Inner Villain deck as Regina George (yes, that Regina George), this archetype reveals the ways we chase validation, status, and admiration—often at the cost of authenticity and trust.We unpack:Why “people pleasing” is just one face of deeper shape-shifting strategies to stay safe and resourced.How the Vain Controller expresses in culture, including its Human Design (undefined heart/ego), Enneagram type (3), and root wound (betrayal).The burn book logic of self-sabotage: When controlling image becomes more important than truth.The connection between this archetype and narcissistic personality traits—and how healing doesn't require shame, but rather, courage to be seen.The deeper spiritual medicine of trust and redefinition of success that liberates the Inventor (the transformed form of this archetype).Why “faking good” might be the most dangerous form of self-abandonment.Plus, two Am I the Asshole case studies that illuminate the painful edge between vanity, betrayal, and the fear of losing power.Key Archetypal Stages Covered:Pinnacle Villain: The Vain Controller – The one who would burn down her own castle if it meant staying on top.Successful Antagonist: The Influencer – Bulletproof facade, all approval, no intimacy.Wounded Child: The Envious – The one who mistakes wealth and appearance for worth.Covert Form: The Compliant – Faking good, performing growth, staying hidden behind praise.Hero: The Unveiled – Naked truth. Willing to lose clout to find connection.Legend: The Inventor – Rebuilding from authentic resources, turning passion into purpose.We also touch on:The time periods and cultural climates that amplify this archetype (hello, 1980s).The trap of ambition without desire.Why so many “successful” people are secretly crumbling from a lack of real trust.And how to recognize when this archetype is showing up in your work, relationships, or self-image.This one's for anyone who's ever felt like they needed to look good while falling apart, or who's ready to be seen for real—not just admired.Referenced in the episode:Mean Girls (film)The Emperor's New Clothes (folktale)Human Design: Undefined Heart/Ego CenterEnneagram Type 3 (The Achiever)“Am I the Asshole?” Reddit postsComing soon: The Inner Villain Transformation Deck launches on Kickstarter later this year.

Truly God is good to Israel,     to those who are pure in heart. 2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled,     my steps had nearly slipped. 3 For I was envious of the arrogant     when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.4 For they have no pangs until death;     their bodies are fat and sleek. 5 They are not in trouble as others are;     they are not stricken like the rest of mankind. 6 Therefore pride is their necklace;     violence covers them as a garment. 7 Their eyes swell out through fatness;     their hearts overflow with follies. 8 They scoff and speak with malice;     loftily they threaten oppression. 9 They set their mouths against the heavens,     and their tongue struts through the earth. 10 Therefore his people turn back to them,     and find no fault in them.  11 And they say, “How can God know?     Is there knowledge in the Most High?” 12 Behold, these are the wicked;     always at ease, they increase in riches. 13 All in vain have I kept my heart clean     and washed my hands in innocence. 14 For all the day long I have been stricken     and rebuked every morning. 15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”     I would have betrayed the generation of your children.16 But when I thought how to understand this,     it seemed to me a wearisome task, 17 until I went into the sanctuary of God;     then I discerned their end.18 Truly you set them in slippery places;     you make them fall to ruin. 19 How they are destroyed in a moment,     swept away utterly by terrors! 20 Like a dream when one awakes,     O Lord, when you rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms. 21 When my soul was embittered,     when I was pricked in heart, 22 I was brutish and ignorant;     I was like a beast toward you.23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you;     you hold my right hand. 24 You guide me with your counsel,     and afterward you will receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but you?     And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. 26 My flesh and my heart may fail,     but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.27 For behold, those who are far from you shall perish;     you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you. 28 But for me it is good to be near God;     I have made the Lord God my refuge,     that I may tell of all your works.1.     Do you think of yourself as an envious person? Or are you a complainer? What does that say about your belief in God? 2.     Have you ever felt like G

These days, nearly everyone has some form of social media or online presence, but what exactly are you choosing to share about yourself with a godless world? Are you representing yourself as a Christ follower or as someone who's got one foot in the world? What does claiming to be a Christian while consistently posting worldly content on social media say about someone? It's important to reflect Christ in both words and actions, including our online presence, recognizing that social media is a public representation of one's personal beliefs.(00:00) Using the Lord's Name in Vain(12:24) Social Media Impact on Witnessing(27:06) Message of Salvation and HopeCONNECT WITH PASTOR JACK:Website: https://jackhibbs.com/ Instagram: http://bit.ly/2FCyXpO Facebook: https://bit.ly/2WZBWV0 YouTube:  https://bit.ly/437xMHn CALLED TO TAKE A BOLD STAND PRE-ORDER:https://boldstand.org/DAZE OF DECEPTION BOOK:https://jackhibbs.com/daze-of-deception/ Did you know we have a Real Life Network?
