Epstein was not a blackmailer... he was a facilitator. The ruling Elite's escape trick is to paint themselves as victims. What the Epstein files show is how a man backed by an intelligence apparatus was able to provide services and desires for the Satanic Pedo Elite. The clown show that now surrounds this, from Pam Bondi's crazed testimony before congress to Trumps call to move on, are all a process of normalizing the elites behavior and minimizing the impact of the truth. The truth is that until America stops caring more for their 401K and investment worth than caring about kids, we are in for a dark and painful spiral to the bottom. God does not tolerate fools.  #BardsFM_Morning #PedophileElite #AccountabilityBeforeGod Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%: www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

What guards our worship styles from drifting with the culture? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper argues that rich, complex doctrine is preserved through thoughtful, disciplined reflection.

We “love” all sorts of things. We love a friend's new hairdo. We love pistachio ice cream and travel to exotic places.Many times, the word itself loses all real meaning. It's like homemade chicken soup without the chicken and without the soup.1 John 3:16–18 “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.”The Divine Word helps us yet again. Here we learn that true love means doing for others. Get involved. Don't just say you love your community. Show the community your love.Cleanup projects, running errands for a shut-in, taking your niece to the movies because her mother is working two jobs…you know what to do. You know the opportunities.Think you love those around you? Show them.Let's pray.Lord, there is so much good to do in the world! Please show us opportunities every day, so that we put action to our words. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Pastor Al Dagel wonders, "What signs do you show others that Jesus is alive in you?"

Is there room for both head and heart in worship? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper helps us long for what heaven promises: razor-sharp minds and free, joyful affection.

Love is in the air, as they say, and that is our topic this week. Love can be a broad term, but we want to refine it for our time together—at the same time, we are preoccupied with cards, gifts, and candy hearts.1 Corinthians 13:4–5 says, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.”If we're honest, that definition—God's definition, really—is pretty different from much of how the world sees love. In real life, it can be complicated, stressful, even brutal. Broken relationships devastate lives.But those of us who know Jesus know that our mission is to love like Him. Loving like Jesus takes the complications out of relationships.If you are sorting through what love means to you, would you consider for the next few days what it means to love with the pure love of Christ? Paul's words in 1 Corinthians require something of us, and that is a key we will continue to explore.Make someone else the priority this week, and not yourself.Let's pray. Lord, your perfect love has sustained us always. We love you in return! In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

Leading up to Śiva Rātri (which is coming up for us this Sunday on February 15th, 2026), I'm releasing a bunch of videos on different aspects of our tradition, as part of the celebration! Having already put out Secret Kālī Teachings in Śaiva Texts which featured a (śaktra reading) of sample from the Paramārthasāra, a profound non-dual transmission from the master, Abhinava Gupta, we now turn to something even more esoteric (guhya) and essential (sāra): a teaching from the Vijñāna-Bhairava Tantra on worshipping Śiva as the pure, non-dual consciousness which you, yourself, right now are!This is the 2nd of 4 or 5 videos for Śiva Rātri this year! Here is a playlist of all our Śiva Rātri content over the years!Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and again at Friday 11am PST Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM

Join Dr. Roberts Liardon for a powerful and prophetic message on revival and reformation. Drawing from Scripture and revival history, he explains why both are essential in this hour. Revival brings fresh life to the Church, while reformation reshapes our world with God's truth and righteousness. This is a message you won't want to miss!

Far too often, we make up our own ideas of what constitutes true worship. Today, we'll discuss the difficult passage of Leviticus 10 when Nadab and Abihu are killed by God for offering strange fire. We'll look at this passage, understand it in its context, and see how it still can guide us to true worship. Join us!  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    What was the background of the Levites and how did that relate to their role among the Children of Israel? Why was this role necessary?  2.    What did Nadab and Abihu do that was wrong? Why should they have known better? 3.    Why was Nadab and Abihu killed? What was wrong with what they did? Why was "death" a necessary response to their sin? 4.    How was the standard for the priests higher than for the average person in the nation of Israel? How was the standard for Nadab and Abihu even higher than for the average priest who was just starting out?  5.    What were some possible reasons for their dereliction of duty? How might alcohol have contributed to their sin? What principle did the Lord give in verses 8 & 9? What present application might this have for us, considering that we are all priests before the Lord?  6.    In verses 6 & 7, what did Moses prohibit Aaron and his sons from doing? Why? 7.    In verses 16-18, what did Aaron's other sons, Eleazar and Thamar, fail to do? What might this indicate about the general attitude they all had towards learning the precepts of the Lord? How do people still demonstrate this attitude today?  8.    The podcast pointed out that a key theme of this chapter (and the whole book of Leviticus), is to follow the Lord's instructions when we approach Him. How might we apply this principle to our lives today?  9.    The podcast also pointed out that Leviticus 10 teaches us about making a distinction between what is profane and what is holy. How do we learn these principles? If we do distinguish between what is profane and holy, how should this impact what we fill our lives with?  10.    The podcast cites Jesus' teaching in John 4:23-24 about true worship. What is true worship and how does it come about in the heart and life of a believer? 11.    Finally, in light of this passage and John 4:23-24 and Hebrews 13:15, who decides what constitutes true worship? As New Covenant believers, what should we fill our minds with, in order to offer the Lord true worship? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

Re-formed, part 1. Worship without justice is noise, not praise. Repentance is not only a moment in your life— it's daily life, giving allegiance to Jesus.

Today, Pastor Al Dagewl brings up the pasts of both David and Paul to illustrate that we, like they, have a way to have our wretched pasts forgiven, setting us free to serve God anew!

In the place of worship, we must endeavor to remain in a heart posture of pouring our oil at His feet. A heart that does not concern itself with style or preference, but a heart that inside of theosis is only concerned with one thing - Him!   The Homestead Mobile - January 18th, 2026

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by David L. Gray to talk about the Mass, the Liturgy, from his perspective as a Catholic convert – and how we can explain it to other converts, draw them in, and demonstrate the incredible truth and beauty of how and why Catholics worship through the Mass.This is a great conversation! With David as our guide, we dig deeply into what's happening in the liturgy of the Mass, the liturgies that are present in all non-Catholic Christian settings, how to evangelize through the Mass, and the incredible experience of Christ we receive each and every time we worship at Mass.To read or see more from David visit Saint Dominic's Media.Be sure to check out his wonderful new book The Liturgical Sense of the Readings At Mass (Year A) and, for listeners to our show, use the code CORDIALCATHOLIC to get 20% off the price!Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

Worship led by Gabe Velazquez

Have you ever been hurt in a relationship? If you've been alive very long at all, the answer is an obvious “Yes!” Reality has shown us that love can be the most wonderful feeling ever…or it can be ugly and brutal. It can feel like your heart has been run over by a truck.We're talking about loving like Jesus, and as usual, His Word unlocks the secrets of our hearts and shows us the way to healing.1 Corinthians 13:4–5 says, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.”Frankly, each of us is supposed to love like this. But just briefly, let's focus on you. Why? Because it's okay to do that if you understand that Jesus loves you and wants all the best for you.Has someone hurt you in a relationship? Is marriage or romance a challenging topic for you? Then please meditate on Scripture and realize that Jesus wants a partner for you who is patient, kind, and honors you. Oh — and he or she doesn't take frustrations out on you, either.Use that as your starting point over whether to stay in a relationship or open your heart to new opportunities.Let's pray. Lord, help us to be mindful of your desires for us in the area of relationships. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

In this episode, we welcome Tyler Hayes to our staff team and to the podcast! Tyler joined our team in December 2025 as the Worship and Arts Pastor at Fellowship Denver North Metro. In today's podcast, Autumn, Hunter, and Tyler discuss the meaning and purpose of the Lenten season, its roots in the church calendar, and why preparation matters as we journey toward Easter. The conversation reflects on Lent as a season of consecration, confession, and formation—naming the things that lead to death so we can more fully receive the life Jesus offers in the resurrection.Resources mentioned in this episode:Fellowship Denver Lent Guide

Worship is more than a song we sing. It is a life fully surrendered to God. This message reminds us that true worship begins in the heart and is expressed through obedience, trust, and daily devotion. What we worship ultimately shapes who we become, and when our hearts are fixed on Jesus, real transformation takes place. As inward worship overflows into outward praise, we are invited to engage with God in spirit and in truth with everything we are.

Full Gospel Center's Pastor Rick Leonardi preaching the message "Genesis - Part 22" on 02/11/2026 referencing Genesis 28.

As remarkable as it sounds, there were many in Isaiah's day who looked to God the way we might look at a vending machine.  Isaiah records their muttering for us.  “‘Why have we fasted,' they say, ‘and you have not seen it?  Why have we humbled ourselves, and you have not noticed?'”  Instead of kicking a vending machine they were shaking their fist at God.  They felt cheated. Now think of how easy it is for us, in our worship, to do the same. But take a look at the remarkable reminder that God shared with them next. Jesus, who is "very God of very God" is so much more than a vending machine.

2 Corinthians 4:4-6 Wow! Exploring the Beauty of God Donate to Support The Journey

A rooster crow can still jolt the heart. We follow Peter from bravado to denial to bitter tears, not to shame him, but to face our own fault lines—and to find the hope that pulled him back. That same lens reveals the hollowness of moral posturing around Pilate, the priests, and the Field of Blood: when procedure outruns purpose, justice cracks. We ask harder questions about authority, marriage, and culture by returning to Scripture as the first and final standard.We ground the conversation in Psalm 33's steady claim that God's plans stand firm while the schemes of nations crumble. That anchors our response to shifting politics and cultural pressure, freeing us to seek what aligns with God rather than chasing trends. Proverbs 8 adds a daily charge to pursue wisdom with urgency, not as a hobby but as the path to life and favor. From there, we step into the modern square: how ideologies untethered from Christ drift toward coercion, how silence masquerades as neutrality, and why moral clarity requires naming evil and defending the innocent.Then we turn the spotlight inward with Noah Webster's practical counsel on time and money. If you mapped your day, where would your loves be? Most of us don't lack time; we misplace it. Stewardship becomes spiritual: earn before you spend, spend less than you earn, and direct the surplus toward family, the poor, and the work of the gospel. Along the way, we honor a Medal of Honor recipient, Lewis Francis Brest, as a reminder that ordinary people can choose extraordinary courage when duty calls.Listen for the mix of conviction and comfort: Scripture before screens, prayer before panic, generosity before impulse. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so others can find it.

Singer-songwriter Jon Guerra joins Mark Labberton to explore devotional songwriting, public faith, and the tension between the kingdom of Jesus and American cultural power. Through music and reflection, Guerra considers how art can hold grief, courage, and hope together in turbulent times. "Love has a million disguises, but winning is simply not one." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Guerra reflects on songwriting as prayer, the call to love enemies, and artistic courage in moments of cultural crisis. Together they discuss devotional music, George Herbert's influence, the Beatitudes and American culture, citizenship and immigration imagery, increasing polarization, suffering and grace, and the vocation of Christian artists. Episode Highlights "Love has a million disguises, but winning is simply not one." "When Jesus says to love your enemies… he is giving us a means of survival." "This is not sentimentality… the only way to resist becoming what one hates." "My songwriting… would be a means of coming into contact with the invisible God." "Beauty puts us in contact with invisible things." About Jon Guerra Jon Guerra is a singer-songwriter based in Austin, Texas, known for devotional music that blends poetry, theology, and contemporary cultural reflection. His albums include Little Songs (2015), Keeper of Days (2020), Ordinary Ways (2023), and American Gospel. Guerra has also composed music for film, including Terrence Malick's A Hidden Life (2019).

When it comes to love, the secular world has plenty to say. Turn on the television, radio, or explore the internet, and you'll find advice on every type of relationship, from friendships to getting along with your parents, and of course, advice on romantic relationships. People are clamoring to figure love out…but what does the Bible say about love?1 Corinthians 13:4–5 says, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.”Love isn't about control or about protecting our own interests. It's not about winning, because true love doesn't keep score. God's Word gives us a beautiful picture of what love can be when we seek to follow the Lord: patient, kind, selfless, humble, and forgiving. That's the kind of love we should strive to build with family, friends, and a potential mate.If we want to take Paul's wisdom in Corinthians to heart, we must first think about what the other person needs in our relationships. And you know, if you practice this model, you'll find that soon enough, your own needs will be met, too! Pure love has a ripple effect.Let it wash over you!Let's pray. Lord, your relationship to us is perfect. Help us love as you love. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

Faith isn't a lottery ticket—and it isn't a guarantee of comfort. But over time, living the faith reshapes who you are: how you think, how you love, how you sacrifice, and what you place at the top of your “value hierarchy.” In this episode, Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks revisit the practical “why” behind Mass, worship, and the Christian life—and how that long-game orientation changes your relationship with yourself, your relationships with others, and your relationship with God.Key IdeasThe question worth revisiting: “Why am I doing this?” (faith, marriage, work, commitments).Everyone has a “value hierarchy”—and whatever is on top functions as a god. (Jordan Peterson reference.)Christianity proposes God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: an eternal communion of love—and worship keeps that love at the top.Faith demands real sacrifice (sometimes even lifelong loss), but it produces interior freedom, meaning, and deeper love.Practical takeaway: don't let a phone algorithm or “followers” set the top of your hierarchy; build real communion with real people.Scripture Mentioned (no links)Philippians 3:8Luke 14:26Links & References (official/source only)Catechism of the Catholic Church (Vatican archive):https://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc/index.htmDr. Jordan B.

Preached by Jared Kress on Feb. 8 2026. Main Idea: Each era of worship throughout biblical and church history has something to celebrate and has contributed significantly to what we now enjoy as “blended worship.” Blended worship should not simply aim to find a middle ground between extreme styles, but instead involve curating the best lessons learned throughout history. Challenge: How can we learn from the best lessons and failures of history to have the most God-honoring approach to worship? Eight Eras of Musical Worship1. Personal & Priestly2. Tambourines & Tabernacle3. Psalms & Professionalism4. Synagogue & Study5. Christ & Creeds6. Transcendent & Theatrical 7. Hymnals & Homiletics8.

Have you ever looked at people who ignore God, who lie, cheat, and look out only for themselves, and realized they seem to be doing better than you are? If you have ever asked, "Why do the wicked prosper while I struggle to do the right thing?" this video is for you.In this episode, we open up Psalm 73, arguably the most honest chapter in the Bible about spiritual burnout. We meet Asaph, a worship leader who almost quit the faith because he was tired of seeing "bad" people win. We explore the raw reality of envy and faith, asking the hard question: Is following Jesus actually worth it when the world feels so unfair?We won't offer you empty clichés. Instead, we'll look at how shifting your perspective, entering "the sanctuary", changes everything. You'll learn how to handle the bitterness of Christian discouragement and discover that while the wicked might have "the good life" for a moment, you have something they can never buy: a God who holds your hand even when you are angry at Him.SUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_org JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate0:00 - WHEN LIFE FEELS UNFAIR (THE QUESTION)0:40 - PSALM 73 & ASAPH'S JOURNEY (DOUBT TO CLARITY)1:13 - THE SOCIAL MEDIA HIGHLIGHT-REEL TRAP1:26 - “WHAT'S THE POINT?” (ASAPH'S CRISIS)1:58 - THE TURNING POINT: “UNTIL I WENT INTO THE SANCTUARY”2:35 - STEP INTO YOUR SANCTUARY (PRAYER, WORSHIP, SCRIPTURE)2:46 - A PERSONAL NOTE: DISAPPOINTMENT, BUSYNESS, IMMATURE FAITH3:03 - THE CURTAIN PULLED BACK (THE WICKED'S FRAGILE END)3:30 - WORSHIP RECENTERS THE SOUL (GOD'S JUSTICE & MERCY)4:04 - GOD'S GRIP OF GRACE (HE HOLDS YOUR RIGHT HAND)4:34 - GOD THE STRENGTH OF MY HEART (PORTION FOREVER)5:21 - “WHOM HAVE I IN HEAVEN BUT YOU” (NEAR GOD IS THE GREATEST GOOD)5:38 - WHAT PSALM 73 LOOKS LIKE TOMORROW (PRACTICAL STEPS)6:24 - ANCHOR YOUR SOUL (TRIALS, WORSHIP, TRUE PROSPERITY)7:01 - CLOSING & SHARE / SUBSCRIBE / RESOURCES (BINMIN.ORG)JOIN the⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Read Online“Why do your disciples not follow the tradition of the elders but instead eat a meal with unclean hands?” He responded, “Well did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines human precepts.'” Mark 7:5–8Isaiah's prophecy rings as true for us today as it did when Isaiah spoke it and when Jesus quoted it. Worship of God must come from our hearts, from the depths of our beings. Only then is worship authentic.Humans are complex. We are made up of body and soul. Though we have a physical heart, the “heart” Isaiah and Jesus are speaking of is spiritual in nature, essentially the human will. God created us with a free will, meaning we alone are the source of the decisions we make, though our good choices are always assisted by God's grace.When God speaks to us, revealing His Divine Will, He communicates to us through the use of our intellect. The intellect, enlightened by both natural reason and divine grace, identifies the good we must choose and proposes that good to the will. The will, moved by God's grace, cooperates in freely choosing it or rejecting it. This cooperation reflects the cooperation between God's action and our freedom.When we freely choose the good, we open ourselves to the grace of charity which perfects our will. Charity strengthens us and enables us to love with God's own love, allowing us to live out the divine commandment to love God above all things and our neighbor as ourselves. This alignment of our intellect, will, and actions with God's will is what makes our worship authentic and our lives holy.This loving worship was absent from the practices of the Pharisees and scribes, whose devotion had become purely external. Their “worship” was steeped in pride, reducing their religious observance to a display of self-righteousness rather than a freely graced expression of love for God. Jesus' rebuke, however, was not an act of condemnation but one of love. He sought to challenge their hypocrisy, convict their hearts, and call them into an authentic relationship with God rooted in true worship. Their refusal to respond with humility and repentance led many of them to plot against Him, culminating in His Crucifixion. This rejection of divine love reveals that their worship remained vain, as their hearts were closed to the grace that transforms external observance into a living relationship with God.When you reflect on your own external acts of worship, do they flow from a heart fully devoted to God? What motivates you when you attend Mass, recite prayers, or perform works of charity? Is your worship a genuine expression of love for God, or is it sometimes reduced to routine or mere obligation? We would all do well to listen attentively to Jesus' rebuke of the Pharisees and scribes, examining our own hearts to discern whether we, too, are guilty of falling into externalism or prideful worship. True worship requires humility, sincerity, and an openness to God's transforming grace, which alone can elevate our external actions into a genuine offering of love. The greatest and purest act of worship is to unite ourselves fully with the sacrifice of Christ in the Holy Mass, offering ourselves—body, mind, and soul—as a living sacrifice to God in loving obedience and complete trust. At Mass, the priest adds a drop of water to the chalice containing the wine. The water and wine are then consecrated into Christ Himself. That one drop of water represents us. Authentic worship will begin with us making that internal offering, united to the external ritual of the Mass, and flow into every other part of our lives. Reflect today on every external act of devotion and charity you perform, especially your participation in the Mass. Listen to Jesus' loving rebuke of the Pharisees and scribes, and use His words to examine your life. Where weakness, sin, pride, or empty routine are found, seek to replace them with heartfelt worship so that your entire life becomes an offering of authentic love and worship of God.My Lord and my God, You alone are worthy of all my love, all my devotion, and the purity of my worship. Please reveal to me the ways in which my worship lacks authenticity, and grant me the grace to love You freely and wholeheartedly. Purify my heart so that my worship may glorify You and advance Your Kingdom. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: The Meal in the House of the Pharisee by James TissotSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.
