    Interview with Roland Zimany " Sermons with Insight "

    https://a.co/d/abZwKd9 Before considering the important part of the sermon, let's take a look at today's Gospel lesson and ask, what's wrong with this picture? What takes place in our Gospel story that does not reflect the way things usually happen in the world? If were teaching a class, I would now stop talking, and there would be a long period of silence, while you look through the biblical text on your bulletin insert, to try to find something unusual. But to ensure that this sermon ends before it's time for Sunday School to begin, I'll save some time by pointing out that it is highly unusual for two pregnant women to meet and for one to say to the other, "You're going to be the mother of someone whom I'll be calling 'Lord.'" Normally, Elizabeth--or anyone else--would not know such a thing in advance. Right? The reference is to Jesus, of course. Elizabeth calls him "Lord," and that fact provides a clue to what is going on here that you, as an average person-in-the-pew, would not even begin to imagine. At least, I didn't, until I went to seminary. You see, among the Jews of Jesus' day, Jesus was called "Master," or "Rabbi," or "Rabboni." He wasn't called "Lord." "Lord" was a title used by Greeks, and it was a popular title applied to Jesus when Christianity spread out of Palestine into Greek-speaking areas. But it wasn't a title that people who actually knew Jesus called him. So when you see Jesus being called "Lord" in the Gospels, that is a clue that that passage reflects the practices of the early Christian Church and does not come from Jesus's own time. (In case you didn't realize it, the Gospels were not written by people who took notes while the events of Jesus life were taking place. For better or worse, the Bible was developed through a much more complicated process).

    Faith Under Fire: an interview with author Ardyce Templeman

    https://a.co/d/4Dloh6K This historical novel spans the reigns of the Roman Caesars Tiberius through Nero. It tells the story of the fledgling early church and how they were impacted by Roman law and rule. The apostle Paul traveled extensively throughout that world, visiting metropolitan cities, fearlessly taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ straight into the heart of pagan worship. He suffered hunger, stoning, prison, flogging, beating, being shipwrecked three times, and being in constant danger of bandits. Yet throughout all of these reverses, he courageously and fearlessly defended his message and his God-given calling. Interwoven throughout the pages of this story are two Roman soldiers, Marcos and Gaius, who walk the Jerusalem wall, observing from their Roman viewpoint all that is going on in the Jewish world. They observe the persecutions led by Saul and, later, the puzzling change in his life. Eventually, because of the impact a changed Paul has upon their lives, they come to know his Christ. This very real and human Paul, along with the electrifying, heart-stopping world in which he and the early church lived, is sure to keep the reader on edge, wondering what can happen next. Paul and this early church were willing to give everything, including their lives, for the truth of the good news that Christ had come to set up his kingdom in the heart of man.

    Over 50yrs of research by author Frederic Buse - Climate Change

    https://fredericbuse.com/ Raised on Long Island, New York during WWII learned about victory gardens, black-outs, scrap metal drives and scouting. Graduated from New York State Maritime College as a marine engineer in 1958. Went to work for Ingersoll Rand Company in Phillipsburg, NJ. Married to Dot in 1960. We bought a country home that had five acres. We call it “Try and Find Us”. We used a bridge to walk across a trout stream to get to the house. We had ten years of life’s experiences before moving. I was promoted to chief engineer of the new commercial pump division in Allentown, PA. One of the most challenging projects was the design of pumps to pump coal slurry 1000 miles using water from the Colorado river. It would have almost drained the river. However, railroad eminent domain won the contract. Another project was developing a pump to produce a pressure of 10,000 pound per square inch. Used to dismantle old wooden box cars rather than polluting the air by burning.

    Interview with Magazine owner and author Ciara Lewis - Debut July 1, 2025

    Entrepreneur, CEO & Founder of KLConsulting LLC, Ciara Lewis proudly announces the launch of Fierce and Fearless Entrepreneur Magazine, a new, groundbreaking magazine created to inspire, inform, and elevate women at every stage of their professional journey. Launching July 2025 on digital platforms including Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Walmart, Target and several other platforms, this bold publication marks a significant addition to the women’s empowerment space, offering real stories, tangible resources, and unapologetic encouragement for women who are ready to reclaim their voice, power, and purpose. Inspired by her participation in Goldman Sachs’ One Million Black Women program, Lewis recognized a glaring gap in how women’s stories and strength were represented in mainstream media.“Societal norms have historically positioned women to serve in subservient roles,” said Lewis. “It’s time for women to break free from the boxes we’ve been placed in and boldly showcase our true potential and the unique value we offer.” With years of experience working in male-dominated environments, Lewis has seen firsthand the challenges women face in workplaces that often undervalue their contributions. “Throughout my career, I worked in three male-dominated industries where I was often the only woman in the room,” she shared. “Rather than shrink myself, I learned to stand tall and succeed on my own terms. This magazine is my way of encouraging other women to do the same.” The mission of Fierce and Fearless Entrepreneur is to empower women to embrace their strength, step boldly into their authenticity, and embody courage with unwavering confidence. The magazine will spotlight stories of resilience, entrepreneurial wisdom, career strategies, and personal growth, serving as a toolkit for women navigating both personal and professional
