Listen in as we tackle the pressing question of whether affirming someone's lifestyle, especially within the LGBTQ community, equates to an act of love. This poignant discussion explores the recent shifts in attitude from influential religious figures like Andy Stanley and Pope Francis and scrutinizes the notion that love must always be synonymous with affirmation. We examine the delicate balance between love and truth, drawing on Jesus's encounter with the woman at the well and the profound insights of 1 Corinthians 13. The conversation offers a thought-provoking perspective on the intersection of faith, love, and sexuality, aiming to distinguish between genuine compassion and the inadvertent endorsement of sin.  Venturing further, we address the complexities of engaging with individuals whose actions may not align with our beliefs, highlighting the need for humility and wisdom. Our discourse navigates the challenges of affirming feelings while guiding individuals toward biblical truths, using Apostle Paul's approach as a template for meaningful and compassionate dialogue. We also touch upon the struggles parents of LGBTQ children face, offering a glimpse into the supportive ministry we provide for these families. Tune in for a conversation that seeks to reconcile the necessity of upholding our values with the powerful imperative to love unconditionally, even when it requires navigating difficult seasons of separation.Timestamps:(00:16) - Exploring Love and Affirmation in Sexuality (10:38) - Love and Truth in Engaging SinnersJoin us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality! Other ways to listen:https://linktr.ee/calibrateconversations#lgbtq #christianity  #affirming  #sin

To Sow❤️/Bless

56. You must avoid continually wasting time outside your cell, if you have indeed chosen to practice stillness. For it is most harmful, depriving you of grace, darkening your mind and sapping your aspiration. This is why it is said: 'Restlessness of desire perverts the guileless intellect' (Wisd. 4:12). So restrict your relationships with other people, lest your intellect should become distracted and your life of stillness disrupted. 57. When sitting in your cell, do not act in a mindless and lazy manner. 'To journey without direction', it is said, 'is wasted effort.' Instead, work purposefully, concentrate your intellect and always keep before your eyes the last hour before your death. Recall the vanity of the world, how deceptive it is, how sickly and worthless; reflect on the dreadful reckoning that is to come, how the harsh keepers of the toll homes will bring before as one by one the actions, words and thoughts which they suggested but which we accepted and made our own. Recall the chastisements in hell, and the state of the souls imprisoned there. Recall, too, that great and fearful day, the day of the general resurrection, when we are brought before God, and the final sentence of the infallible Judge. Bring to mind the punishment that befalls sinners, the reproach, the reprobation of the conscience, how they will be rejected by God and cast into the age-long fire, to the worm that does not die, to the impenetrable darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth (cf Mark 9:44, Matt. 8:12). Meditate on all the other chastisements, and let your tears continually drench your cheeks, your clothes, the place where you are sitting. I have known many men in whom such thoughts have produced an abundance of tears, and who in this way have wonderfully cleansed all the powers of their soul. 58. But think also of the blessings which await the righteous: how they will stand at Christ's right hand, the gracious voice of the Master, the inheritance of the heavenly kingdom, the gift which is beyond the intellect's grasp, that sweet light, the endless joy, never interrupted by grief, those heavenly mansions, life with the angels, and all the other promises made to those who fear the Lord.

There can't be equality until equity is achieved. Self-awareness and understanding of where systemic and institutionalized bias exists is the launch point. The United Way of Washtenaw County is about to kick off another 21-Day Equity Challenge, and its aim is to create recognition and awareness and provide a foundation for change. Naomi Norman is interim superintendent of the Washtenaw Intermediate School District. She joined WEMU's David Fair to discuss the benefits to public education and the people it serves.

Former @TheWacoHighLion HC Johnny Tusa joins Game Time to discuss his work with the @HeartofTexasFCA, the dirty side of recruiting, high school player's opting out after receiving a scholarship, the bond proposal for new schools within WISD & more.

Disciple Up # 177 Hebrews Pt. 1 – Prologue By Louie Marsh, 9-16-2020   Intro.   Prologue Hebrews 1: 1-4   1  Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2  but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3  He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4  having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. Hebrews 1:1-4 (ESV)   VERSE ONE:   1  Long ago,  - God has been communicating with mankind for a long, long time, nothing new about it.   at many times – He didn't do it all at once but scattered the prophets and others throughout Israel's history.   and in many ways,   This refers to the difference of the various revelations in contents and form. Not the different ways in which God imparted his revelations to the prophets, but the different ways in which he spoke by the prophets to the fathers: in one way through Moses, in another through Elijah, in others through Isaiah, Ezekiel, etc. At the founding of the Old Testament kingdom of God, the character of the revelation was elementary. Later it was of a character to appeal to a more matured spiritual sense, a deeper understanding and a higher conception of the law. The revelation differed according to the faithfulness or unfaithfulness of the covenant-people.   Vincent - Word Studies in the New Testament.   10  so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. Ephesians 3:10 (ESV)   A very striking phrase. The adjective occurs only here, and means variegated. It is applied to pictures, flowers, garments. Ποίκιλον is used in the Septuagint of Joseph's coat, Genesis 37:3. Through the Church God's wisdom in its infinite variety is to be displayed—the many-tinted wisdom of God—in different modes of power, different characters, methods of training, providences, forms of organization,   Vincent - Word Studies in the New Testament.   God spoke to our fathers by the prophets,   "In many ways." Adverb from old adjective polutropos, in Philo, only here in N.T. The two adverbs together are "a sonorous hendiadys for 'variously'" (Moffatt) as Chrysostom (diaphorōs). God spoke by dream, by direct voice, by signs, in different ways to different men (Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Elijah, Isaiah, etc.). -  Robertson - Word Pictures in the New Testament.   VERSE TWO:   2  but in these last days   Yes, we are living in the Last days and have been for over 2000 years.   16  But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel: 17  “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; 18  even on my male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy. Acts 2:16-18 (ESV)   he has spoken to us by his Son,   Hath spoken (elalēsen). First aorist indicative of laleō, the same verb as above, "did speak" in a final and full revelation – Robertson - Word Pictures in the New Testament.   Note the absence of the article. Attention is directed, not to Christ's divine personality, but to his filial relation. While the former revelation was given through a definite class, the prophets, the new revelation is given through one who is a son as distinguished from a prophet. He belongs to another category. The revelation was a son-revelation. See 2:10-18. Christ's high priesthood is the central fact of the epistle, and his sonship is bound up with his priesthood… - Vincent - Word Studies in the New Testament.   whom he appointed the heir of all things, Hath appointed (ethēken). First aorist (kappa aorist) active of tithēmi, a timeless aorist.  Heir of all things (klēronomon pantōn). See Mark 12:6 for ho klēronomos in Christ's parable, perhaps an allusion here to this parable (Moffatt). The idea of sonship easily passes into that of heirship (Galatians 4:7; Romans 8:17). See the claim of Christ in Matthew 11:27; Matthew 28:18 even before the Ascension. -  Robertson - Word Pictures in the New Testament. 27  All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Matthew 11:27 (ESV)   through whom also he created the world. Hebrews 1:2 (ESV)   1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2  He was in the beginning with God. 3  All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4  In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:1-5 (ESV)   VERSE THREE:   3  He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature,   The word apaugasma, late substantive from apaugazō, to emit brightness (augē, augazō in 2 Cor. 4:4), here only in the N.T., but in Wisd. 7:26 and in Philo. It can mean either reflected brightness, refulgence (Calvin, Thayer) or effulgence (ray from an original light body) as the Greek fathers hold. Both senses are true of Christ in his relation to God as Jesus shows in plain language in John 12:45; John 14:9. "The writer is using metaphors which had already been applied to Wisdom and the Logos" (Moffatt). The meaning "effulgence" suits the context better, though it gives the idea of eternal generation of the Son (John 1:1), the term Father applied to God necessarily involving Son. See this same metaphor in 2 Cor. 4:6. - Word Pictures in the New Testament.   Charaktēr is an old word from charassō, to cut, to scratch, to mark. It first was the agent (note ending = tēr) or tool that did the marking, then the mark or impress made, the exact reproduction, a meaning clearly expressed by charagma (Acts 17:29; Rev. 13:16-17). Menander had already used (Moffatt) charaktēr in the sense of our "character." The word occurs in the inscriptions for "person" as well as for "exact reproduction" of a person. The word hupostasis for the being or essence of God "is a philosophical rather than a religious term" (Moffatt). - Word Pictures in the New Testament.    and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.   Rend. maintaining. Upholding conveys too much the idea of the passive support of a burden. "The Son is not an Atlas, sustaining the dead weight of the world" (quoted by Westcott). Neither is the sense that of ruling or guiding, as Philo (De Cherub. § 11), who describes the divine word as "the steersman and pilot of the all." It implies sustaining, but also movement. It deals with a burden, not as a dead weight, but as in continual movement; as Weiss puts it, "with the all in all its changes and transformations throughout the aeons." It is concerned, not only with sustaining the weight of the universe, but also with maintaining its coherence and carrying on its development. - Word Studies in the New Testament.   After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high   indicates that the work of purification was done by Christ personally, and was not something which he caused to be done by some other agent. - Word Studies in the New Testament.   Comp. Psalm 110:1, 8:1; 10:12; 12:2; Ephesians 1:20; Revelation 3:21. The verb denotes a solemn, formal act; the assumption of a position of dignity and authority The reference is to Christ's ascension. In his exalted state he will still be bearing on all things toward their consummation, still dealing with sin as the great high priest in the heavenly sanctuary - Word Studies in the New Testament.   20  that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, Ephesians 1:20 (ESV)   VERSE FOUR:   4  having become as much superior to angels   The informal and abrupt introduction of this topic goes to show that the writer was addressing Jewish Christians, who were familiar with the prominent part ascribed to angels in the O.T. economy, especially in the giving of the law. - Word Studies in the New Testament.    as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs   The comparative only in Hebrews. In the sense of more excellent, only in later writers. Its earlier sense is different. The idea of difference is that which radically distinguishes it from κρείττων better. Here it presents the comparative of a comparative conception. The Son's name differs from that of the angels, and is more different for good. - Word Studies in the New Testament.

A replay of our episode from 11 May 2015 Gareth and Anthony are focused on brand new music this week, with nine of the ten tracks either new or unreleased. We have a track from the forthcoming Thee Oh Sees record as well as new ones from the Eccentronic Research Council, Ela Orleans, and Dean McPhee; brand new digidub from Asher Senator via German label Jahtari and Danish producers Maffi. We’ve also got a mind-melting live recording of the unimitable Islam Chipsy alongside a recording of The Wit and Wisd

The key text on the image of God, of course, sits at the very beginning of the canon. In Genesis 1: 26-27 we read, "Then God said, 'Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.' So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." The phrase “image of God” (Latin: imago Dei) occurs twice again in Genesis (5:2; 9:6); much later in the inter-testamental literature (Wisd. 2:23; Sir. 17:3); and is applied to humans in the New Testament twice (1 Cor. 11:7; Jas. 3:9). Jesus is also identified as the image of God in the New Testament (2 Cor. 4:4; Col. 1:15; cf. Heb. 1:3; Rom. 5:14; 8:29; 1 Cor. 15:45, 49; Phil. 3:21). Explore the four views in interpreting "the image of God". One is the ontological view in which the image of God is some part of our being as spirituality or rationality - it is the gift of reason and ability to grow in wisdom. Problems include that where the image of God is mentioned there is not any description of the intellectual life. When the Bible teaches about knowing God it does so in a way in which intellectual growth is part of a bigger equation. A more popular view is the functional view which emphasizes dominion or rule. In Genesis 1:28-30 we read, "And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food." Therefore "the image of God" means to function in God's place. We are called to be God's ambassadors. We have God's image to fulfill a function. A problem is that the theme of our function is not identical to the image of God. Other texts in the New Testament about being fruitful and multiplying do not appear anywhere so it must not be the main concern. It may be related but is something distinct.
