Renato Moicano, um dos maiores nomes do UFC, e Alexandre Ostrowiecki, presidente do conselho do Grupo Multi (antiga Multilaser), sentam à mesa para um debate sobre liberdade, política e o futuro do Brasil.Moicano, vindo de Brasília e filho de funcionário público, narra como sua mudança para os EUA e o estudo da Escola Austríaca de Economia (Mises, Hayek) transformaram sua visão de mundo, fazendo-o enxergar o Estado como o verdadeiro inimigo da prosperidade. Ele defende que a solução é individual, focada na autopropriedade, na responsabilidade e em ferramentas como o Bitcoin para se livrar do controle estatal.Do outro lado, Alexandre Ostrowiecki, que liderou a transformação da Multilaser em um império tecnológico, revela como a burocracia e a mentalidade estatista brasileira são as maiores barreiras para quem quer produzir e gerar riqueza. Ele apresenta sua iniciativa, o Ranking dos Políticos, como uma ferramenta essencial para que o cidadão possa cobrar e eleger melhor, argumentando que, embora o Estado seja o problema, a participação política consciente é o único caminho para evitar que os piores tomem o poder e o Brasil siga o caminho da Venezuela.Eles discutem se a mudança real vem pelo voto e pela pressão popular ou pela rebeldia individual e pela busca por soberania financeira.Na sua opinião, qual caminho é mais eficiente para mudar o Brasil: a luta política proposta pelo Alexandre ou a soberania individual defendida pelo Moicano?

À La Calera, une municipalité montagneuse près de Bogotá, les habitants s'opposent à Coca-Cola, qui exploite sept sources d'eau via sa filiale Indega. En pleine sécheresse historique causée par El Niño, les habitants ont subi des coupures d'eau pendant près d'un an, tandis que l'usine de mise en bouteille continuait son activité. C'est un reportage d'Eve-Marie Detoeuf. L'indignation est d'autant plus grande que la concession d'exploitation d'Indega, arrivée à échéance en décembre, pourrait être renouvelée malgré les contestations. Coca-Cola affirme puiser l'eau dans les nappes souterraines, mais une hydrologue critique sévèrement l'étude fournie par la multinationale, la jugeant biaisée et contradictoire. La situation divise désormais les habitants de La Calera. Tandis que certains défendent l'entreprise pour les emplois supposément créés, d'autres dénoncent une exploitation injuste d'une ressource vitale. Des artistes, des écologistes, et des villageois expriment leur tristesse face aux tensions causées par Coca-Cola. Ils sont pessimistes quant à une décision des autorités régionales, soupçonnées de favoritisme et de corruption. En 2024, Coca-Cola n'aurait payé que l'équivalent de 2 500 euros de redevance pour cette ressource précieuse, alimentant un sentiment d'injustice grandissant. Les gangs haïtiens sanctionnés par l'ONU Les Nations unies ont imposé des sanctions contre les coalitions de gangs haïtiens Viv Ansanm et Gran Grif, quelques semaines après leur désignation comme organisations terroristes par les États-Unis. C'est un des sujets abordés ce jeudi (10 juillet 2025) avec le rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste, Frantz Duval. Ces sanctions permettent notamment à Interpol de lancer des poursuites internationales, peut-on lire dans le Nouvelliste. Elles interviennent dans un contexte d'escalade de la violence en Haïti, où les gangs multiplient les attaques armées, s'étendent au-delà de Port-au-Prince, et plongent le pays dans une crise humanitaire sans précédent. Aux États-Unis, des milliers de fonctionnaires fédéraux vivent dans la peur d'un licenciement massif Mardi dernier, la Cour suprême a validé le vaste plan de réorganisation de l'administration Trump, ouvrant la voie à des suppressions de postes. Selon Politico, ce jugement a profondément ébranlé des agents jusque-là convaincus d'être protégés par le droit de la fonction publique et les syndicats. « Tous mes amis se sont résignés au pire », confie un employé au ministère du logement. À l'agence de protection de l'environnement, certains se terrent au sous-sol pour fuir la tension. Déjà 3 000 départs volontaires ou retraites anticipées. Des services comme la justice environnementale sont démantelés. « Le gouvernement abandonne les communautés les plus polluées », dénonce un agent. Au ministère du Logement, les couloirs sont devenus silencieux, « comme après un décès ». La peur est encore plus vive au Département d'État : dans des groupes Signal, diplomates et agents s'inquiètent pour leur avenir, la sécurité nationale, et dénoncent une trahison. Des salles de réunion ont été réservées pour ce vendredi, jour probable des annonces officielles. Les conséquences de la taxe douanière de 50% sur les produits brésiliens décidée par Donald Trump Pour le site d'information G1, Donald Trump répète la formule du harcèlement et des représailles qu'il utilise contre ses adversaires politiques. « Cette fois, cependant, les échanges économiques ne peuvent pas servir de prétexte car les États-Unis ont un rare excédent commercial avec le Brésil ». Dans Carta Capital, un ancien ambassadeur brésilien s'insurge : il parle d'ingérence révoltante, de brutalité diplomatique, et estime que les États-Unis sont en train de devenir un adversaire du Brésil — une rupture avec deux siècles de relations diplomatiques. Il appelle à une réaction forte de la société civile brésilienne, et suggère au gouvernement Lula d'intensifier ses contacts avec les démocrates américains. L'embarras des bolsonaristes Selon Folha de Sao Paulo, plusieurs proches de l'ex-président reconnaissent, en privé, que cette décision « pose un vrai problème politique ». Officiellement, ils continuent de soutenir Donald Trump et tentent de rejeter la responsabilité de la mesure douanière sur le président Lula. C'est le cas de Tarcísio de Freitas ou Romeu Zema — deux candidats potentiels pour la prochaine élection présidentielle de 2026. Ils affirment que c'est le rapprochement de Lula avec la Chine, la Russie, l'Iran, Cuba ou encore le Venezuela qui aurait déclenché la réaction de Donald Trump. Washington à la recherche d'une stratégie à l'égard du Venezuela C'est à lire dans le New York Times. D'un côté, le secrétaire d'État Marco Rubio a tenté un accord avec Caracas : libérer des prisonniers politiques en échange du renvoi de 250 migrants vénézuéliens détenus au Salvador. Mais ces négociations ont été court-circuitées par… l'émissaire spécial de Donald Trump pour le Venezuela lui-même, Richard Grenell. Lui proposait tout autre chose : autoriser l'entreprise Chevron à reprendre ses activités pétrolières au Venezuela. Une offre plus alléchante pour le président Nicolas Maduro. Mais finalement, aucun accord n'a été conclu, et les 250 migrants vénézuéliens sont toujours détenus dans une prison de haute sécurité au Salvador. Le New York Times révèle que malgré ses déclarations, la Maison Blanche garde le contrôle sur ces détenus car ils sont utilisés comme monnaie d'échange. Premiers témoignages sur les conditions de détention au sein du «Alligator Alcatraz» Le Miami Herald publie un témoignage glaçant : un migrant mexicain, pourtant protégé par le programme DACA, car il est venu aux États-Unis lorsqu'il était encore mineur, s'est retrouvé enfermé dans le centre de détention situé en plein cœur des Everglades, en Floride. Il a été arrêté après un simple contrôle routier. Son avocat affirme ne pas connaître les raisons de sa détention. Et son client dénonce des conditions inhumaines : nourriture avariée, toilettes bouchées, chaleur étouffante sans climatisation, moustiques en pagaille, et interdiction de se doucher pendant quatre jours. Les autorités de Floride, elles, démentent en bloc : « des accusations totalement fausses », disent-elles. Mais l'affaire commence à faire grand bruit.

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about President Trump’s early accomplishments and the enduring strength of the United States. He frames America as a nation that thrives despite global instability and internal political dysfunction. Citing Trump’s actions on immigration, tariffs, and national security, Brett invites listeners to weigh in on what they see as the former president’s greatest achievement so far.He reflects on America's historic leadership—from landing on the moon to defeating global threats—and argues that the country’s strength allows even its most dysfunctional cities to exist without collapsing the nation. Brett contrasts the prosperity of the U.S. with the struggles of countries like Venezuela, Iran, and China. Later, Brett dives into the growing hostility toward law enforcement and the dangerous rhetoric surrounding immigration enforcement. He expresses deep concern over rising attacks on ICE and Border Patrol agents, citing a 700% increase in assaults and recent incidents involving ambushes. Brett highlights comments from DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin, who blames politicians and media figures for normalizing violence by comparing ICE officers to Nazis and Gestapo agents. Brett condemns these comparisons as outrageous and historically inaccurate, warning that such language encourages violence and undermines national security.

This Day in Legal History: Vermont Abolishes Slavery for MenOn July 8, 1777, the Vermont Republic adopted a constitution that became the first in what would eventually become the United States to formally abolish slavery. At the time, Vermont was not yet a state—it was an independent republic formed after declaring independence from both New York and British colonial rule. The new constitution, influenced by Enlightenment principles and revolutionary ideals, declared that “no male person born in this country, or brought from over sea, ought to be held by law, to serve any person, as a servant, slave or apprentice” after the age of 21.This clause effectively outlawed slavery for adult men and set the groundwork for emancipation, although enforcement was inconsistent. Vermont's action was revolutionary, especially considering that slavery remained deeply entrenched in both the southern and northern American colonies. While other Northern states like Pennsylvania and Massachusetts would later take steps toward abolition, Vermont's constitutional ban was a bold and early legal rebuke of human bondage.Despite its symbolic significance, the legal impact was somewhat limited. Vermont did not join the Union until 1791, and historical records indicate that some slavery-like practices may have persisted unofficially. Nevertheless, the 1777 constitution established an early legal precedent for anti-slavery sentiment, showing how legal documents could be used to challenge institutional oppression. The language also hinted at the contradictions between American ideals of liberty and the reality of enslavement.Several major U.S. medical organizations filed a lawsuit on July 7 against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the HHS, challenging recent changes to federal COVID-19 vaccine policy. The plaintiffs—including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Physicians—are seeking to overturn Kennedy's directive removing COVID-19 vaccines from the CDC's immunization schedules for children and pregnant women. They argue that the move poses an immediate threat to public health and undermines evidence-based medical policy.The complaint accuses Kennedy of dismantling the federally established vaccine framework that has historically saved millions of lives. Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic, took control of HHS earlier this year and has taken steps to reshape vaccine policy. In addition to altering the immunization schedules, he also dismissed all 17 members of the CDC's independent vaccine advisory committee and replaced them with seven individuals, some of whom have publicly opposed vaccination.Medical groups contend that these actions are not grounded in science and place vulnerable populations at significant risk of preventable diseases. HHS has not yet commented on the lawsuit.Medical groups sue HHS, Kennedy over vaccine policy | ReutersThe Biden administration had extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Hondurans and Nicaraguans in 2023, citing lingering effects of Hurricane Mitch, political instability, and economic hardship. But on July 7, the Department of Homeland Security under President Donald Trump announced it will end those protections effective September 6, 2025, impacting roughly 72,000 Hondurans and 4,000 Nicaraguans. TPS offers deportation relief and work permits to migrants from countries experiencing crisis, but Trump officials argue the program has been overused.Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said both countries have recovered significantly, referencing tourism, real estate, and energy developments. Critics, including Democrats and migrant advocates, say ending TPS will uproot people who have legally lived and worked in the U.S. for decades and may force them to return to dangerous or unstable conditions. The Honduran deputy foreign minister acknowledged the decision wasn't country-specific, but part of a broader rollback of TPS protections.Trump's administration has already targeted TPS designations for migrants from Venezuela, Haiti, Afghanistan, and Cameroon. Legal battles continue over the policy's rollback: while the Supreme Court recently upheld ending TPS for Venezuelans, a federal judge blocked the termination for Haitians just last week.Trump to end deportation protections for thousands of Hondurans and Nicaraguans | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week focuses on Maryland's new 3% digital services tax, which took effect on July 1. I argue that while the state's goal of modernizing its tax base is understandable, the execution creates more problems than it solves. Rather than taxing consumption—the standard, more efficient route—Maryland is taxing business inputs like data hosting and web services. This approach violates basic tax principles, potentially stifling investment and driving up operational costs for firms doing business in the state.The administrative burden is uniquely complex. Vendors must determine how much of each service is used in Maryland, secure pre-approval for calculation methods, and issue separate certificates per transaction. No other state requires this, which leaves businesses with a costly choice: build a Maryland-specific tax compliance system, risk penalties, or exit the market entirely. The true burden, then, is not just the 3% rate, but the compliance infrastructure that must be created from scratch.Ultimately, the tax may hurt the very businesses Maryland is counting on for economic growth. Consumers may face higher prices, companies may route around the state, and the tax may collapse under its own administrative weight. I argue that the smarter path forward lies in multistate coordination, where shared definitions and harmonized rules could make enforcement more efficient and less distortionary. Without collaboration, Maryland risks substituting short-term revenue for long-term competitiveness. This is a public episode.

What happens when a company inherits a sanctions violation through acquisition, and acts fast to fix it? Can a robust post-acquisition response really save a parent company from prosecution? In this episode, Michael Volkov unpacks the fascinating DOJ-led global enforcement action against UNICAT Catalyst Technologies - a case that reflects the U.S. government's intensifying focus on trade enforcement across sanctions, export controls, and customs. This resolution marks the first declination under DOJ's National Security Division M&A policy, showcasing the power of voluntary disclosure, cooperation, and remediation in today's enforcement environment.You'll hear him discuss:How DOJ, OFAC, BIS, and CBP coordinated parallel resolutions against UNICATThe $3.3 million forfeiture and additional penalties tied to underpaid duties and unlawful exportsWhy DOJ declined prosecution of UNICAT's parent company, White Deer, under its M&A policyThe former CEO's role in orchestrating 23 unlawful sales to Iran, Venezuela, and CubaThe importance of identifying willful intent in sanctions violations — and when DOJ disclosure is requiredThe risks of failed pre-acquisition due diligence and the value of strong post-acquisition integrationHow concealment tactics like falsified invoices and coded emails were used to hide dealings with sanctioned entitiesKey lessons for global companies navigating the new era of trade compliance and enforcementResourcesMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

Nos sentamos con el papá de Isra, Israel Pérez de Corcho, para recorrer una vida marcada por dos revoluciones, dos países rotos y una misma ideología que lo obligó a empezar de cero… dos veces. Primero en Cuba, cuando la promesa de la revolución se convirtió en represión. Luego en Venezuela, donde la historia comenzó a repetirse. Esta es una conversación íntima sobre identidad, exilio, reconstrucción, y lo que significa ser testigo —y víctima— de un sistema que no solo se lleva tu país, sino también tu futuro. Una historia real sobre cómo el comunismo no solo quiebra naciones, también fragmenta familias.
2 Corinthians 11:16-33 - Boasting as a Fool Please remain standing. Our sermon text this morning is 2 Corinthians 11:16-33. Please turn there. It is on page 1152. In this passage, the apostle Paul comes back to the theme of boasting. He introduced it in chapter 10. Remember, our boasting should be in the Lord and his work, not ourselves and our work. That was in contrast to the super apostles, who boasted in themselves. That is why, at the beginning of chapter 11, Paul had the most pointed critique of them yet. They taught a different Gospel and were actually messengers of Satan. That brings us to our text this morning. As you will hear, Paul hates their boasting. But to counter the super apostles, he first sarcastically boasts in his credentials and then surprisingly he boasts in something very different. Listen for those things as I read. Reading of 2 Corinthians 11:16-33 Prayer On the world stage, there is no shortage of bragging and arrogance. I'm talking mainly about world leaders. I think there's been an increase over the last couple of decades. We certainly saw it back in the late1990s with Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Vladimir Putin in Russia has certainly displayed a confident arrogance in his 25 years of power. And no matter your political opinions, I think everyone here would agree: our current president is quite the self-promoter, and I'm being kind. Now, don't be distracted by that comment. Stay with me. Let me say that none of this is new. If we go back to the first century in the Roman Empire, boasting was at a similar high. In fact, I read in a commentary this week that Ceasar Augustus, one of the great Roman Emperors, raised the bar of self-promotion. Near the end of his life, Augustus wrote a short treatise about himself. Listen to the title - “The Deeds of the Divine Augustus.” It was released in the year of his death, AD 14. In it, Augustus highlighted all of his successes – his military accomplishments, his public works, his diplomacy, and his reforms in the empire. You can find it online. In it, you will read over and over. “I did this, I did that.” I triumphed over such and such nations. I built the senate house and the capital building. Four times, I helped the senatorial treasury with my own money. I restored peace to the sea from pirates. I gave shows of gladiators under my name. I extended the borders of the empire… etc. etc. This kind of self-absorbed boasting permeated the culture of the Roman Empire. And to give a little historical context, it was published about 60 years after Corinth was re-settled as a Roman city; 20 years before Jesus' crucifixion, and about 40 years before Paul wrote 2 Corinthians. So, it is no surprise that the false apostles in Corinth praised themselves. That is what you did if you were to be known and honored. We've seen it over and over, these “super apostles” did not live by the Spirit with a humble and contrite heart. No, rather they lived by the world's standards and beliefs and lifestyle. And part of that was to elevate themselves and their own self-defined credentials. As we just read, the apostle Paul hated it. In verses 16 to 21 he calls it all foolishness. In fact, look at verse 19. He writes to the church, “for you gladly bear with fools.” So, not only was their boasting foolish, but the false apostles themselves were fools. That word fool or foolish, if you remember from our Proverbs study, can be understood either as passively ignorant, you know, not really knowing any better… or being foolish can be understood in a more active way, someone being unwise with a senseless arrogance. That second understanding best fits the context. Paul even sarcastically calls the Corinthians “wise.” You see that in the second half of 19. “For you gladly bear with fools, being wise yourselves!” It wasn't wisdom at all, but rather foolishness. So, that was part of the problem in Corinth. The arrogant boasting of the culture had come to the church through the super-apostles. So, what does Paul do? Well, for a brief moment, he enters into their boasting. It is like he is saying, since you are foolishly boasting, let me show you what this foolish boasting is like. He doesn't want to toot his own horn, but he feels like he has to in order answer the super apostles. That why he says in verse 16, “…let no one think me foolish. But even if you do, accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.” He goes on in 17, “What I am saying with this boastful confidence, I say not as the Lord would but as a fool. Since many boast according to the flesh, I too will boast.” Can you sense it? Paul can't stand boasting. Nonetheless, he is compelled to do it. The false apostles were enslaving the Corinthians with their lies and deceit. To use some of the other words in verse 20. They were “devouring” them and “taking advantage” of them. The false apostles had “air” of superiority. In all of it, they were in essence “striking [the church] in the face.” But really, they had nothing on Paul. Paul's fleshly credentials were greater than theirs. He says in verse 22, “Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they offspring of Abraham? So am I.” He could have gone on with his worldly credentials. In other places in Scripture he mentions that he is from the tribe of Benjamin. He was among the few. Furthermore, he had been an esteemed Pharisee. But he says in his letter to the Philippians chapter 3 that he “counts it all loss for the sake of Christ.” There is something far greater, and that is his identity in Christ. “Corinthian church, you have bought into this ungodly boasting. It is all foolishness. And even if you go by the super apostles foolish criteria, they still do not measure up.” Any and all boasting in human strength and ability is self-centered and not Christ-centered. It is foolishness because (1) it does not recognize God and his Glory and his gifts, (2) it does not recognize our sin and our unworthiness apart from Christ, and (3) boasting in human strength does not acknowledge that all good gifts come from him alone. Now, we covered some of that a couple of weeks ago. But we learn something very interesting here in the middle of chapter 11. We learn, there is something that we can boast about in our lives. We can boast in our weakness. Jump down to verse 30. “If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.” Verses 23 to really the middle of chapter 12 are specifically about that. Boasting in weakness. Now, boasting in our weakness does not mean glorifying failure or seeking pity. It is not drawing attention to ourselves as a victim. Nor is it seeking our identity in suffering. The apostle Paul is not doing any of that, here. So then, what is boasting in weakness? It is giving glory to God who sustains us in our weakness. And it is recognizing that the Lord has gone before us in our suffering. Just as he endured the weakness of the flesh and affliction from the world, so too, in him, God will sustain and use us in our weakness. I just want to make that clear. As we look at this, there are two things that the apostle focuses on. First, here in chapter 11 he focuses on the affliction that he received as a result of his ministry. You know, all the things that he suffered as an apostle. Second, when we get to the beginning of chapter 12, he focuses on the weakness of the flesh. Paul will write about his thorn in the flesh. We'll get to that next week. But today, let's consider this unbelievable list of Paul's suffering and God's protection. Go back up to verse 23. Paul begins, “Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one” Now, put yourself in the shoes of the Corinthians. What do you think they expected Paul to say, next? Perhaps they expected him to give a Caesar Augustus type list: I, Paul, planted 13 churches; I saw the risen Lord, himself, on the road to Damascus; I raised Eutychus from the dead; I cast out demons in Jesus name; I healed the sick; I confounded the Greek philosophers in Athens. Etc. etc. But he doesn't do that. No, instead, he rattles off a most surprising list. All the things that he suffered (so far!) as an apostle. And it is overwhelming. God sustained him over and over and over to bring the Gospel all throughout the northern Mediterranean. Only a portion of this list is included in the book of Acts. Acts is the history of the early church. · Paul was imprisoned multiple times. In Phillipi, which we read about earlier, he was beaten and then imprisoned with his feet in stocks. · He mentions, here, multiple beating with rods. In Lystra he was stoned outside the city and left for dead. · The most severe thing on this list is the forty lashes minus 1. It was a Jewish punishment for breaking the law. The guilty party would be severely whipped. Each lash would score the skin of the recipient. It would create what was called a stripe. A bloodied line across the back that would eventually scar. 39 lashes was one short of 40. More than 40 would have broken the Jewish law, so 39 was just in case someone didn't miscount. Paul bore on his body the marks of his sacrifice for the Gospel. · He mentions being shipwrecked three times. However, the most famous shipwreck had not even happened yet. That one is recorded in Acts 27. That would be a couple of years later. · He furthermore endured multiple dangers. He endured danger from the elements… from cold and heat. Sometimes he went without food. But also, he experienced danger from others. Danger not just from the Jews, but also from the Gentiles and from robbers. Notice at the end of verse 26 he includes danger from false brothers. He uses the word “brothers” because there were men in the church who threatened him. They were wolves in sheep's clothing, just like the false apostles in Corinth. This kind of persecution happens all over the world today. We have so many freedoms in our country, that it's hard to imagine the suffering that our brothers and sister in Christ experience throughout the world. Some of you know or have met Pastor Zaki. He pastors the Orthodox Presbyterian Church over on Chamblee Tucker. It's just down the road from here. He is a dear brother and a friend. Zaki is from Eretria. He's been in the US for about 15 years. A couple of years ago, at a conference here in the area, he spoke about persecution. As part of that, Pastor Zaki shared a little about the persecution that he endured. In 2002, the government of Eritrea shut down many of the churches. Some believers were imprisoned, especially pastors, and the church had to go underground. Well, Zaki was arrested. He was not even allowed to tell his family, when it happened. He was brought to the prison. They put him in a metal shipping container. There was just one small vent in it so he could breathe. Literally, nothing else was in it. Zaki described how he, at first, struggled to rejoice. He remembered the words of Jesus, blessed are those who are persecuted for my name sake. And he remembered the words of the apostle Peter that we're to rejoice in suffering. He thought, “had I led my people astray telling them that they should rejoice even if they suffered persecution for their faith.” Those first few hours weighed heavily on him, and he prayed. Then it happened. The Holy Spirit opened his heart, and he began rejoicing in the Lord. Something even more amazing happened that first night. About midnight, he said, he began hearing other believers all throughout the prison singing. They were suffering, but they were rejoicing. And he joined in their joyful praise. Brother Zaki was release but arrested 4 more time over the next 9 years. As I understand it, he was beaten. At one point he almost died, but the Lord preserved him. In 2011, he was able to flee to the United States. He moved to Greenville to study. And then the Lord then brought him here to the Tucker area to pastor. The kind of suffering and affliction that Paul endured is experienced by many today who love and serve Christ. And I want you to notice, it's not just external suffering that Paul endured. Look at verse 28. “Apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches.” Paul loved the Corinthians. Really, he loved every single church that he participated in planting. He prayed for them. He communicated with them. He longed to see them be faithful and true. And it all weighed on his soul. And look what he says in verse 29. He asks, “who is weak, and I am not weak?” In other words, when someone in one of his churches suffered, Paul suffered alongside of them. His heart suffered. The next question in verse 29 is even stronger, “Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant?” In other words, when a fellow believer in Christ was led into sin by one of these false brothers, Paul was indignant. He had a righteous anger at these false apostles for all the ways in which the church was being led astray. That internal turmoil was part of the suffering that he endured. Ok, now, jump down to verses 32 and 33. Paul mentions one final experience. Many, many years earlier, when he was in Damascus, in order to escape persecution, he had to be lowered in a basket out of a window. By the way, if someone tried to lower me in a basket, I think it wold probably go very poorly. I wouldn't even fit in a basket. But Paul escaped. Now, when you hear this last trial, doesn't it feel like an addendum to his list? But let me ask, do you remember the significance of Damascus? Paul was on the road to Damascus when the Lord blinded him and called him to faith. Damascus was the very city that he first stayed in as a believer in Jesus. Do you see what Paul is saying? His suffering as an apostle began at the very beginning of his ministry. All the suffering that he has endured is not new. It goes back to the very beginning of labors for Christ. Despite what the false apostles were saying, his suffering did not disqualify him as an apostle. No, rather, it testified to his true apostleship. Do you see now why Paul could boast in this affliction and weakness? It showed and demonstrated that God had called him to suffer and God sustained him through it all. This was not the theology of the super apostles. Part of their false prosperity Gospel, which we've considered multiple times in weeks past, was to reject sickness and suffering as part of the Christian life. Like many counterfeit pastors today, they taught that suffering was not part of God's purpose and will for your life. They rejected Paul because he suffered. But God is saying through Paul that suffering is part and parcel of the Christian life. He's been saying that all throughout 2 Corinthians. Remember, in our affliction, we share in the affliction of Christ, so that we may share in his comfort. And also, these light momentary afflictions are preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison. And so, we can boast in our weakness. It's a humble boasting. Yes, that's a little paradoxical, but I think you know what I mean. It's a humble boasting that gives glory to God. Isn't that the upside-down world of the Gospel? Strength comes through weakness. Exaltation comes through humility. Life comes through death. Go back up to verse 23. We've already considered it. Paul asks, “Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one.” Did you notice that it is the only question where Paul raises the bar. He doesn't say, “so am I” like how he answers the other questions. Rather he says, “I am better.” Literally translated, it would say I am a degree beyond. His service to Christ is far better because of his suffering, not despite it. That question and Paul's answer prefaces the entire list of his suffering. To put it another way, Paul suffered in this life, we suffer in this life, just as our Savior suffered in this life. Jesus endured many trials in this life. False accusations; rejection from his people; temptations from Satan; Jesus disciples abandoned him at his hour of need; he was spit on and mocked and whipped… not with regular whips, like 40 lashes minus one, but wips with metal or bone fragments in it, which tore into his skin. Isaiah wrote in his prophecy that our Savior was oppressed and afflicted, yet did not open his mouth. “he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.” Other translations say, “with his stripes we are healed.” Paul boasted in his suffering because his Savior suffered and died for him. Jesus suffered and died so that in eternity his people would be freed from suffering and affliction. In other words, Jesus did not suffer and die so that we would not suffer in this life. No. Rather, Jesus suffered and died to forgive and redeem us, and in heaven we will be freed from our suffering forever. And that gives us great hope in our suffering in this life. And we can therefore boast in it. If we must, as Paul says. So, to recap – Paul's boasting in his earthly credentials, was simply to put the super apostles in their place. All boasting in human strength and wisdom is foolishness and it dishonors God. If we must boast about ourselves, we should boast in our weakness. For Paul, his suffering was a testimony of his true ministry as an apostle. And when we boast in our suffering we ought testify to Christ's suffering for our salvation. Truly, in all of history, there was only one man who could rightfully boast in his accomplishments. It was not Caesar Augustus. It was not any world leader today or in the past. No. The only one who could rightfully boast was and is our Lord. As God the son, Jesus is the king of kings; the agent through which God created the heavens and the earth; He is the very word of God; and redeemer of God's people. Yet, on earth, he boasted not of those things. Instead, he humbled himself. He did not respond when mocked, he suffered and died, but was raised. As we sang earlier, “I will not boast in anything; No gifts, no power, no wisdom; But I will boast in Jesus Christ; His death and resurrection” So, let us boast in him… and when we suffer, let us boast because we suffer in him. Amen

In these searing back-to-back segments, Tara and Lee expose the radical left's escalating assault on America's foundations. First, Tara uncovers the shocking rise of Zohran Mamdani, the openly socialist New York City mayoral candidate vowing to seize private property, create government-run housing, and end capitalism itself—policies hailed as the “future of the Democratic Party.” Drawing chilling parallels to Albania, Cuba, and Venezuela, Tara warns this communist blueprint will destroy freedom if not stopped. Next, she reveals explosive new evidence showing FBI Director Christopher Wray committed multiple felonies—destroying evidence of Chinese election interference in 2020 and perjuring himself before Congress while blaming nonexistent “Russian bots.” From massive illegal immigrant voter fraud to state-level cowardice in confronting the crisis, Tara underscores how Trump and DeSantis are virtually alone in fighting to preserve American sovereignty. Together, these reports detail a coordinated campaign to erase the rule of law, weaponize government power, and replace American values with socialist tyranny.
Open to Debate, in partnership with the Human Rights Foundation and the Oslo Freedom Forum, is examining a strategy employed by many countries to respond to aggressive or authoritarian regimes. In recent years, these have been levied against countries such as Russia, Venezuela, and Iran, which have ranged from freezing assets and trade bans to travel restrictions and full embargoes. But do sanctions work in deterring repression? Those arguing that they're effective claim that they're a nonviolent way to force change and serve as a deterrent for other countries. Those who are skeptical about the efficacy of sanctions say they are leaky, don't lead to regime change, and can harm civilians and exacerbate humanitarian crises. Now with this background, we debate the question: Are Sanctions an Effective Policy Tool? This debate was produced in partnership with the Human Rights Foundation and was recorded at the Oslo Freedom Forum in Oslo, Norway, on May 26, 2025. Learn more about your ad choices.
