Matthew 13 | Cyber Security
<p><strong>WORD - Matthew 13</strong></p><p>Today our word comes from the allegory in Matthew 13 talking about the scattering of the seed. I’ve heard this parable a number of times in my life as I’m sure you have but I have a different take on it in this episode.</p><p><strong>WEAPON - Securing Your Online Seeds </strong></p><p>When we think of keeping ourselves safe in public spaces, we typically think of tangible tools such as a gun or knife. We might think of situational awareness or, if you’ve been listening to me for than a minute, you know I always promote the necessity for risk assessments. </p><p>But today I’m going to talk about another way to keep yourself safe and secure in the public space – the online public space. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

Luke 10:25-37 | Good Samaritan
<p>The Word</p><p>In Luke 10, Jesus is asked "what is the most important commandment?"</p><p>He responds that the greatest commandment is to "love the Lord your</p><p>God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind"</p><p>and the second to "love your neighbor as yourself". Jesus was then</p><p>immediately asked who counts as a neighbor and he responds with a</p><p>parable or a story lesson that is an example for everyday life.</p><p>This Parable of course tells the tale of the Good Samaritan</p><p>Luke 10:25-37 ESV</p><p>25 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying,</p><p>"Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" 26 He said to him,</p><p>"What is written in the Law? How do you read it?" 27 And he answered,</p><p>"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your</p><p>soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your</p><p>neighbor as yourself." 28 And he said to him, "You have answered</p><p>correctly; do this, and you will live." 29 But he, desiring to justify</p><p>himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" 30 Jesus replied, "A</p><p>man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among</p><p>robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half</p><p>dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when</p><p>he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise a Levite,</p><p>when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.</p><p>33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when</p><p>he saw him, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and bound up his</p><p>wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal</p><p>and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 And the next day he</p><p>took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take care</p><p>of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come</p><p>back.' 36 Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor</p><p>to the man who fell among the robbers?" 37 He said, "The one who</p><p>showed him mercy." And Jesus said to him, "You go, and do likewise."</p><p><br></p><p>The Weapon</p><p>Emergency situations and disasters can take many forms. Hurricanes,</p><p>floods, fires, earthquakes, car accidents and missing persons situations</p><p>are not just the makings of television news stories. These events can</p><p>occur at any time. The first responders to an accident or emergency</p><p>often are not trained professionals but citizens and community</p><p>members who are already on the scene.</p><p><br></p><p>No matter where or what kind of incident it is, paramedics and police</p><p>officers tend to always use the term "bystander."</p><p>But bystander is a passive word. It means what it says; that the person</p><p>is standing by—simply near what is happening. A bystander doesn't</p><p>help. He watches. A bystander isn't useful. She just gets in the way.</p><p>The thing is: most people don't really act that way. They jump in and</p><p>help when the going gets tough. A witness comes forward and tells the</p><p>authorities what he saw. A Good Samaritan pulls the injured to safety</p><p>or tries to stop the bleeding. Whatever needs to be done usually gets</p><p>done by the person on the street or the patient's coworkers. Most</p><p>people don't just stand by.</p><p>Your life and the lives of others may depend on your ability to respond</p><p>during an emergency situation. As a first responder to an emergency or</p><p>accident scene, you may be the only one to provide information and</p><p>assistance until the authorities arrive.</p><p>If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you’re very familiar with</p><p>the idea of two kinds of first responders. The first is the Professional</p><p>First Responders: These are the folks who come to our aid when we</p><p>need help. We’re talking about, police officers, firefighters, emergency</p><p>medical

Proverbs 21:5 | Biblical Goal Setting
<p><strong>The Word – Setting Goals </strong></p><p> It's typical in this season, this New Year that we have resolutions. We have resolutions for health – for wealth or some other important milestone in our life. </p><p> In a survey by people that survey such things … 31% of survey participants plan on making resolutions for 2021 while 19% are still undecided. Seems like they should resolve to make up their minds. </p><p> Of those that made a resolution in 2020, 35% kept all their resolutions, 49% kept some of their resolutions, and only 16% failed at keeping any of their resolutions. </p><p>According to an Inc. study of 2,000 people, these are the 5 most common resolutions that were made in 2019. </p><p>1. Exercise more </p><p>2. Eat healthier </p><p>3. Save Money </p><p>4. Learn a new skill </p><p>5. Quit smoking </p><p> Every year the number one resolution stays the same – Exercise more. According to statistics, more than 12% of new gym memberships start in January. During January, Google searches for health and fitness peak. That’s fantastic – that’s awesome right? </p><p>Well not so fast – statistics also say that out of those new January-joining members, 80% will quit within five months and 14% quit before the end of </p><p> February. Yikes – that’s crazy if you’re a gym owner and even worse if you are one of the ones that quit. </p><p> But take heart - this isn’t a podcast on joining gyms or making new year’s resolutions – This is a podcast about real change – from a biblical perspective…. Think of it this way resolutions are things you tell yourself – and work on for yourself with little to no help from anyone. Goals on the other hand are things you commit to. I think as Christians we sometimes fail at our resolutions because we have the wrong perspective on this tradition. You see, resolutions are statements of intention, while goals are statements of commitment. Resolutions are often vague like “I will get in shape” or “I will be more productive.” Resolutions also tend to aim for extreme changes—I will stop overspending— or I will lose 30lbs by April – this creates an intimidating gap between where you are and where you want to be with no actionable steps. This is like having two pieces of bread with nothing in the middle and trying to call it a sandwich -- This is also why 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail. I like to think of it as resolutions being secular while Goals are something God desires of us. Resolutions are great intentions, but goal setting is biblical. </p><p><strong>Just Listen to some of what the Bible has to say on Setting Goals: Proverbs 21:5 </strong></p><p> <strong>The plans </strong>of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty. </p><p> <strong>Philippians 3:14 – In Paul’s letter to the church at Philippi, he wrote: </strong>I press on toward the <strong>goal </strong>for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. <strong>Luke 13:32 </strong></p><p> He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will drive out demons and heal people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach <strong>my goal</strong>.’ In this Christ is referring to Herod as a fox. </p><p> Goal setting was a part of Christ’s thinking. First and foremost, His goal was to do the will of His heavenly Father. This is the goal that got Him out of bed in the morning. It was a joint mission with the Holy Spirit. His goal was also to serve the people. He cast out demons, healed, and taught. Jesus was a focused individual with specific goals in mind.</p><p class="ql-align-justify"> God has a lot to say about goals and...
