LESSON 197It Can Be But My Gratitude I Earn.Here is the second step we take to free your mind from the belief in outside force pitted against your own. You make attempts at kindness and forgiveness. Yet you turn them to attack again, unless you find external gratitude and lavish thanks. Your gifts must be received with honor, lest they be withdrawn. And so you think God's gifts are loans at best; at worst, deceptions which would cheat you of defenses, to ensure that when He strikes He will not fail to kill.How easily are God and guilt confused by those who know not what their thoughts can do. Deny your strength, and weakness must become salvation to you. See yourself as bound, and bars become your home. Nor will you leave the prison house, or claim your strength, until guilt and salvation are not seen as one, and freedom and salvation are perceived as joined, with strength beside them, to be sought and claimed, and found and fully recognized.The world must thank you when you offer it release from your illusions. Yet your thanks belong to you as well, for its release can only mirror yours. Your gratitude is all your gifts require, that they be a lasting offering of a thankful heart, released from hell forever. Is it this you would undo by taking back your gifts, because they were not honored? It is you who honor them and give them fitting thanks, for it is you who have received the gifts.It does not matter if another thinks your gifts unworthy. In his mind there is a part that joins with yours in thanking you. It does not matter if your gifts seem lost and ineffectual. They are received where they are given. In your gratitude are they accepted universally, and thankfully acknowledged by the Heart of God Himself. And would you take them back, when He has gratefully accepted them?God blesses every gift you give to Him, and every gift is given Him, because it can be given only to yourself. And what belongs to God must be His Own. Yet you will never realize His gifts are sure, eternal, changeless, limitless, forever giving out, extending love and adding to your never-ending joy while you forgive but to attack again.Withdraw the gifts you give, and you will think that what is given you has been withdrawn. But learn to let forgiveness take away the sins you think you see outside yourself, and you can never think the gifts of God are lent but for a little while, before He snatches them away again in death. For death will have no meaning for you then.And with the end of this belief is fear forever over. Thank your Self for this, for He is grateful only unto God, and He gives thanks for you unto Himself. To everyone who lives will Christ yet come, for everyone must live and move in Him. His Being in His Father is secure, because Their Will is one. Their gratitude to all They have created has no end, for gratitude remains a part of love.Thanks be to you, the holy Son of God. For as you were created, you contain all things within your Self. And you are still as God created you. Nor can you dim the light of your perfection. In your heart the Heart of God is laid. He holds you dear, because you are Himself. All gratitude belongs to you, because of what you are.Give thanks as you receive it. Be you free of all ingratitude to anyone who makes your Self complete. And from this Self is no one left outside. Give thanks for all the countless channels which extend this Self. All that you do is given unto Him. All that you think can only be His Thoughts, sharing with Him the holy Thoughts of God. Earn now the gratitude you have denied yourself when you forgot the function God has given you. But never think that He has ever ceased to offer thanks to you.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Life doesn't ask us to become someone new in moments of crisis. It asks us to remember who we've been becoming. The greatest leaders don't trust themselves to rise to the occasion. They prepare themselves to retrieve from a lifetime of intentional learning. “This week, don't ask yourself, ‘How will I handle the next crisis?' Ask yourself, ‘What deposit am I making today that my future self will someday need to withdraw?' “Extraordinary performance comes from ordinary moments that are intentionally harvested over many years.” – Lee Brower “Harvest the lesson before you leave the moment.” – Lee Brower

AP correspondent Ben Thomas reports a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate is dropping out.

Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.2 What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.5 O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.6 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.7 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?8 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.11 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?12 Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.13 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.16 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.17 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.18 Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.19 Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.20 Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.21 Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.22 Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.23 How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?25 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?26 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.27 Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.

ABC News reports that Graham Platner is considering the future of his Senate campaign after a former girlfriend accused him of sexual assault. Platner denies the allegation, but major Democratic leaders—including Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, and Maine Democratic Party officials—have called on him to withdraw from the race. A Tulare County traffic stop led deputies to recover 185 pounds of suspected stolen copper wire, along with telecommunications cable, brass valves, radiators, and other scrap metal.

Greetings, my friends.Our choices today shape our lives and calling. Trust God to lead you step by step.Through decades of walking with God in my life and career, I have learned that following the living God is the only way to experience His best. Today, I encourage you to ask yourself: Who am I truly following in my decisions?God invites us to 'Believe Me for More.' Daily choices, guided by faith and obedience, position us for God's best. Trust His power and guidance each step.Set goals by seeking God's vision. Prioritize listening to God's direction for every step, moving forward in faith that He will provide.When obstacles arise, focus on what God has spoken. Ask if you're moving forward in faith or hesitating from doubt.At times, God's goals may feel distant or challenging. When that happens, take every thought captive and ask God to confirm your direction.When anxiety over costs or risks arises, bring your concerns to God and trust His provision.Today, I want to share with you some proven Biblical insights that God has given me and will give to all who seek Him first. I invite you to apply these principles—commit this week to listening for God's guidance and to acting on what He reveals to you.Listen to God, trust His guidance, and obey in His timing. Pray: 'Lord, am I in step with You?'The answers to these questions are always found in Scripture. Over the years, I have kept dates and notes in my Bible about challenges I faced and the direction God gave me. These 'journey markers' remind me of moments when God spoke and proved Himself faithful.Isaiah 30:15 teaches that quietness and confidence renew our strength. True leadership flows from intimacy with God. Withdraw for renewal and clarity when distractions mount.Today, God reassured me that I am moving in the right direction and walking in step with Him. What a boost to my confidence! It all comes from taking time to quiet myself before God and listen for His voice.God reassures us to walk by faith, not by sight. Avoid counterfeit guidance, trusting in God's provision and leading. For all who believe, trust, and obey God in their lives, careers, families, and with those they serve, the path is sure. The takeaway: As you walk with God, He will consistently guide your steps in every direction you go.Send Tony a Texthttps://www.seldicompany.com/

There are moments in the writings of St. Isaac the Syrian where one realizes that what he is speaking about is not “religion” as we commonly understand it at all. He is not concerned with external religiosity, spiritual image, theological sophistication, emotional experiences, or moral performance. He speaks instead about the transformation of the human being into a living place of divine communion. The entire struggle of the ascetic life is directed toward one thing: purity of heart. Not moralism. Not perfectionism. Purity. And purity for Isaac is not primarily about behavior. It is about vision. “The pure in heart shall see God.” The Fathers understood this literally. The heart darkened by distraction, anger, judgment, vanity, endless speech, lust, resentment, self-construction, and immersion in the noise of the world loses the capacity to perceive reality as it truly is. Man ceases to remember God because he has become filled with himself. The tragedy is not simply that we sin. The tragedy is that the heart becomes opaque. Heavy. Fragmented. Unable to behold the Kingdom already present within it. Isaac speaks with terrifying clarity here: “He who restrains his mouth from speech guards his heart from the passions.” Modern man speaks endlessly because he cannot bear silence. We drown ourselves in commentary, analysis, outrage, explanations, arguments, entertainment, notifications, and noise because silence threatens the ego. Silence exposes the inward chaos we spend our lives trying to conceal. But Isaac tells us something almost unbearable: the mysteries of God become visible only in stillness. A wrathful heart cannot behold the mysteries of the Kingdom because wrath keeps the self at the center of reality. A judgmental man may speak about theology endlessly and yet remain entirely estranged from the life of God. A proud man may appear religious and still dwell inwardly in darkness. Why? Because the Kingdom is not perceived through brilliance but through purity. This is why Isaac places such immense emphasis upon guarding the tongue, fleeing gossip, withdrawing from quarrels, avoiding angry speech, and refusing distraction. He is not prescribing pious behavior merely for the sake of morality. He understands something we do not: every movement of the soul either clarifies the heart or darkens it. And so Isaac speaks of continuous remembrance of God. Not occasional remembrance. Not Sunday remembrance. Not remembrance during emotional prayer alone. Continuous remembrance. The modern mind hears this and immediately turns it into technique. But Isaac is not describing a method so much as an identity. Man was created to live in continual orientation toward God. Prayer is not an activity added onto life. Prayer is life restored to its natural condition. This is why Isaac says: “That which befalls a fish out of water, befalls the mind that has come out of the remembrance of God.” What a terrifying image. We imagine ourselves spiritually neutral when we live immersed in distraction, noise, anxiety, worldly conversation, vanity, and continual mental agitation. Isaac says otherwise. The soul outside remembrance gasps for life without understanding why it is suffocating. And this is precisely the condition of modern man. We are overstimulated yet inwardly deadened. Connected constantly yet unable to descend into the heart. Religious perhaps, but incapable of stillness. Surrounded by information while starving for theoria. Isaac uses that extraordinary image of the dolphin moving through the calm sea. When the sea of the heart becomes still from wrath and agitation, divine mysteries begin moving within the soul. The Kingdom is not absent. The heart is simply too turbulent to perceive it. This is why the Fathers fled distraction so fiercely. Not because they hated the world. But because they desired reality. And reality, Isaac tells us, is infinitely more luminous than the fantasies by which we continually feed ourselves. The terrifying thing is that modern people often imagine remembrance of God to be restrictive. In truth, distraction is the prison. Remembrance is freedom. The man who remembers God continually gradually becomes transparent to divine life. His thoughts change. His speech changes. His desires change. His vision changes. Mercy begins appearing naturally. Humility deepens. Judgment weakens. The passions lose their violence because the soul has found greater beauty. Isaac's vision is nothing less than transfiguration. The purified heart becomes Heaven itself. Not symbolically. Actually. “Lo, Heaven is within you.” The human person becomes a living icon of the Kingdom. The mysteries cease being abstractions and become life. The soul begins beholding Christ “at every moment.” Not through imagination, but through participation. Through communion. Through the gradual purification of the inner man. This is why the saints seem luminous to us. Not because they became extraordinary personalities, but because they ceased obstructing the Radiance of God within them. And Isaac insists that this path is deeply practical. Guard the tongue. Flee distraction. Withdraw from useless speech. Avoid judgment. Remain in remembrance. Practice silence. Study God continually. Refuse the fragmentation of the passions. Seek meekness. Seek humility. Seek hiddenness. Not as legalism. But because every movement either opens the heart toward the Kingdom or closes it inwardly upon itself. The modern world trains us in continual forgetfulness. The ascetic life trains us in remembrance. And remembrance gradually becomes vision. Then prayer ceases being something we “do” and becomes the atmosphere in which the soul breathes. At the center of Isaac's vision lies something fierce and beautiful: man was created not merely to think about God, but to behold Him within the heart and become radiant with His life in the world. This is the true meaning of purity. Not moral self-consciousness. But transparency to divine life. Not religious performance. But the gradual emergence of Heaven within the human heart. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:18:52 Una: Father, do you know much about Saint Nikiphorus the Leper? 00:19:03 Una: Perhaps a saint for the disabled 00:19:10 Una: My mike isn't working 00:20:33 Bob Čihák, AZ: Remember, in these texts, “men” means all humans, “men and women.” 00:23:23 Una: Reacted to "Remember, in these..." with

What if your greatest spiritual breakthrough comes not from moving forward, but from stepping back? Jesus shows us that sometimes the Spirit leads us to withdraw before we advance. When temptation hits during your spiritual growth, remember: it's not a sign you're failing - it's a call to battle. Which of Satan's three plays does he run most against you: physical desires, power and possessions, or pride?

Connection Without Agreement How Men Stay Connected Even When They Disagree There was a time when hard conversations felt occasional. Maybe they showed up around the Thanksgiving table. Maybe every four years during election season. Maybe in a few tense moments with family or friends. But that is not where we are anymore. Now disagreement is everywhere. Politics. Religion. Gender conversations. Marriage. Parenting. Social media. Friendships. Family systems. Workplaces. Many of us are carrying tension constantly. And a lot of men feel stuck between two unhealthy options: avoid hard conversations completely, or become emotionally reactive and argumentative all the time. At AMG, we want to offer a better path. This conversation is not about agreeing with everybody. It is not about abandoning our values. It is not about becoming friends with everyone. And it is definitely not about tolerating unhealthy behavior. This is about emotional maturity. How do we stay human with each other when tension shows up? Because connection does not require agreement. And emotional safety does not mean emotional comfort. Why Disagreement Feels So Personal Most men can tolerate disagreement more than they realize. What is often harder is the feeling underneath it. Shame. Judgment. Stereotyping. Feeling reduced. Feeling unseen. A lot of men are not reacting only to disagreement itself. They are reacting to the feeling that someone already decided who they are before getting curious about them. And that hurts. Underneath many hard conversations is a deeper human question: Am I still safe with you if we see things differently? That question shows up in more places than we may realize. We see it online all the time. People reduce one another into categories. Political labels. Religious labels. Identity labels. Most of the time without really knowing the person. To some degree, this is a human tendency. Not because we are evil, but because uncertainty can feel threatening. Our nervous systems want predictability. We want to quickly decide: Is this person safe? Are they for me or against me? Do I belong with this person or not? Categorizing people can temporarily make us feel less vulnerable. But it usually comes at the cost of connection. The moment someone becomes a category instead of a human being, curiosity often gets replaced by self-protection. And when people stop feeling understood, they stop feeling emotionally safe. We can often feel this happen in our bodies. We tighten up. We prepare our argument. We stop listening as openly. We start defending instead of connecting. For many of us, defensiveness rises the moment we feel assumed, misunderstood, or minimized. Especially when someone acts like they already know our perspective without asking real questions. Or when the complexity of an issue gets flattened into a quick, shallow response. Underneath that is often a painful feeling: You are not actually trying to understand me. And eventually: I do not feel emotionally safe with you right now. That is where many men disconnect. Not simply because someone sees things differently, but because they no longer feel emotionally known by each other. And if we are honest, most of us have contributed to that at times. We have become reactive. We have assumed motives. We have wanted to win instead of understand. We have lost curiosity when we felt emotionally threatened. That is why this conversation matters. Debate Is Not the Same as Connection A lot of men believe they are communicating when they are actually protecting themselves. Quality communication requires authenticity and vulnerability. When we notice ourselves putting on armor in a conversation, that is often a sign that we do not feel safe enough to talk openly. So we move into debate mode. Logic mode. Correction mode. Analysis mode. Because intellectual certainty often feels safer than emotional vulnerability. It is easier to argue about ideas than to admit: That actually scared me. That hurt me. I feel dismissed. I feel powerless. I feel misunderstood. Sometimes debate becomes a socially acceptable way to avoid emotional exposure. We start trying to win instead of trying to understand. And the moment winning becomes the goal, connection usually starts weakening. We can feel this physically too. Our chest tightens. Our speech speeds up. We interrupt more. We stop listening. We start trying to prove. Without even realizing it, the goal of the conversation shifts from connection to self-protection. A lot of men confuse that with strength. But mature masculinity is not domination. It is not emotional shutdown. It is not having the perfect argument. Real strength is staying grounded enough to remain curious even when tension shows up. Curiosity Creates Connection One of the biggest shifts we can make is learning to see people as human instead of reducing them into someone we need to correct. Because correction usually creates defensiveness. Curiosity creates connection. Correction says: Let me fix your thinking. Curiosity says: Help me understand your experience. That changes everything. Most people want understanding before evaluation. And we can usually feel the difference immediately when someone is genuinely curious about us versus when they are simply waiting for their turn to prove us wrong. Curiosity slows a conversation down. It helps people feel human again. That does not mean we abandon wisdom or boundaries. It does not mean we tolerate abuse. It does not mean endless emotional labor. And it does not mean agreement. Someone can feel deeply understood by us and still know we disagree with them. That is maturity. Instead of saying: That does not make sense. We can say: Help me understand how you got there. Instead of saying: You are wrong. We can say: I see this differently, but I want to understand your perspective. That tone alone can change the nervous system of a conversation. What This Looks Like in Real Life This matters in more than public discourse. It matters in marriage. Parenting. Friendships. Faith communities. Men's groups. Workplaces. Everyday relationships. It matters when we think our wife is attacking us and our first instinct is to defend instead of slow down. It matters when a friend brings up politics and we feel ourselves start preparing a rebuttal instead of staying curious. It matters when a hard topic enters a men's group and the room starts tightening because no one knows how to stay honest without becoming reactive. In those moments, emotional maturity is not about having no reaction. It is about noticing our reaction without letting it take over. A Simple Challenge for This Week This week, notice where you become defensive. Pay attention to what happens in your body. Do you tighten up? Talk faster? Interrupt? Withdraw? Shut down internally? And before correcting someone, ask one curious question. That one shift may open more connection than a perfect argument ever could. Final Thought At AMG, we do not believe healthy connection requires sameness. We believe men can stay grounded, honest, and relational even when disagreement exists. Connection without agreement is possible. But it takes emotional maturity. It takes self-awareness. It takes curiosity. And it takes the courage to stay human when tension shows up. That is the kind of strength we want to build.

If Jesus needed to withdraw and pray during His busiest seasons, what does that say about our packed schedules? The busier we get, the more we need God's strength - not our own. Are you running on empty or running on His power?

We look ahead to the Nato foreign ministers’ meeting in Sweden as questions over a US drawdown remain. What will the American push for ‘greater burden sharing’ look like and who will plug the gaps?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Trump has repeatedly promised to withdraw US forces from Europe in an ongoing debate over America's role in NATO. Earlier this month, the Pentagon announced that 5,000 troops will be withdrawn from bases in Germany over the next 6 to 12 months, out of roughly 36,000 US personnel based in the country. Although the justification was ostensibly Germany's unwillingness to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a withdrawal is consonant with Trump's prior statements and his effort to withdraw 12,000 troops from Germany in 2020. More than 75 years after the founding of NATO, is a US withdrawal from Germany warranted? What will be the likely consequences? And can the administration sustain a burden-shift to Europe? Please join our panel of distinguished experts on transatlantic security to discuss these questions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Get your Hosea Scripture Journal now. Our shout-out today goes to Raymond Smith from Charlotte, NC. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. Our text today is Hosea 1:6. She conceived again and bore a daughter. And the Lord said to him, "Call her name No Mercy, for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, to forgive them at all." — Hosea 1:6 How patient is God? The story of Israel shows us something remarkable—God's patience is long, but it is not endless. Hosea's wife, Gomer, gives birth again. This time, the child is a daughter. And once again, God gives the child a name that carries a message. Lo-ruhamah. In Hebrew, the name means "No Mercy" or "Not Pitied." The meaning would have stunned anyone who heard it. For generations, Israel had relied on the mercy of God. Even when they sinned and wandered, God repeatedly showed compassion and forgave them. But now the warning changes. "I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel." This does not mean God had suddenly become cruel or indifferent. It means the nation had reached a point where they repeatedly rejected the mercy that had already been offered. Over and over, God had sent prophets. Over and over, he called the people back to faithfulness. Over and over, he showed patience. But the nation continued to pursue idols, ignore God's word, and trust in their own strength. Eventually, mercy that is continually rejected turns into discipline. This is one of the most sobering truths in Scripture. God is incredibly patient with his people, but persistent rebellion eventually brings consequences. The warning in Hosea's day was meant to wake the nation up. And the same principle applies to us today. God's mercy is one of the greatest gifts we receive—but mercy is not meant to be ignored or abused. It is meant to lead us back to him. Paul later writes in Romans: "God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance." — Romans 2:4 So today, don't treat God's patience casually. If there is an area of your life where God has been calling you to change, respond while his mercy is still inviting you back. His warnings are not meant to push you away—they are meant to draw you closer. Take a moment today to thank God for his patience in your life, and respond to the places where he is calling you to return. DO THIS: Thank God today for his patience in your life, and respond to one area where he has been calling you to change. ASK THIS: Why do people sometimes mistake God's patience for approval? Where in your life have you experienced God's mercy even when you didn't deserve it? Is there an area where God has been patiently calling you back to him? PRAY THIS: Father, thank you for your mercy and patience in my life. Help me respond to your kindness with repentance and renewed faithfulness. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Lord Have Mercy (For What We Have Done)"
