Preaching and Teaching – Email Devotionals
▻https://emaildevotionals.com/2018/10/22/preaching-and-teaching/comment-page-1/#comments
Sometimes Paul had to preach and at other times he taught. Preaching declares the truth and teaching explains it some more. Preaching is a monologue and teaching is a dialogue, most of the time. Either way, Paul used those methods to let others know about Jesus Christ and His work.
« HATED : GG ALLIN & THE MURDER JUNKIES »
▻https://laspirale.org/video-581-hated-gg-allin-the-murder-junkies.html
Hated : GG Allin and the Murder Junkies est un documentaire de 1994 sur la vie de GG Allin. Automutilation, nudité et défécation sur scène, obscénités en tous genres, actes de violence envers le public… GG Allin, de son vrai nom #Kevin_Michael_Allin, né Jesus Christ Allin à Lancaster (New Hampshire), le 29 août 1956 et mort à New York le 28 juin 1993, fait partie des personnages les plus extrêmes de la scène #hardcore_punk américaine des années 1980.
Durant cette période, Allin est héroïnomane, alcoolique, fumeur intensif et abuse généralement de toutes les drogues qui lui sont proposées. Il se lave rarement et commence à utiliser des laxatifs avant ses concerts, puisque la défécation est devenue un numéro de scène habituel pour lui. Allin se décrit comme « le dernier vrai rocker », en entendant par là que la musique rock elle-même est récupérée par les multinationales du divertissement et l’argent.
Bien qu’ayant annoncé qu’il se suiciderait sur scène à de nombreuses reprises, Allin meurt d’une overdose d’héroïne le 28 juin 1993. Il est âgé de 36 ans. Pour son dernier concert, dans un petit club new-yorkais appelé The Gas Station, il chante quelques chansons avant que le courant ne soit coupé, puis dégrade la salle et s’en va nu à travers les rues de la ville, couvert de sang, d’excréments et entouré d’une centaines de fans.

En Arabie saoudite, la lutte contre la corruption tout ça... Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Identified as Buyer of Record-Breaking da Vinci
▻https://www.wsj.com/articles/saudi-arabias-crown-prince-identified-as-buyer-of-record-breaking-da-vinci-1512
Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman is the buyer of a painting by Leonardo da Vinci that sold for a record $450.3 million last month, according to U.S. government intelligence and a Saudi art-world figure familiar with the purchase, a disclosure that offers a rare glimpse inside a rivalry between two Persian Gulf nations to scoop up some of the world’s masterpieces.
Prince Bader bin Abdullah bin Mohammed, a lesser-known figure and a distant relative of the crown prince, was the nominal winner of the auction, held at Christie’s in November, the Saudi art-world figure said, “but he is a proxy for MBS.”
“It is a fact that this deal was done via a proxy,” the person said.
The revelation that the crown prince is the purchaser of the sought-after portrait of Jesus Christ —the most expensive painting ever sold at auction—settles one of the biggest mysteries in the art world. And it comes at a fraught political moment for the 32-year-old Saudi leader, who is trying to portray himself as a reformer determined to root out corruption in the oil-rich kingdom.

We will come to regret that which consumed our heart, our mind and our time in building temporal foundations, but we will never come to regret building a spiritual foundation comprised of Jesus Christ and His eternal worth. Keep us clear minded and focused so that we are aware of the difference in that which only satisfies us here and that which satisfies us for all eternity

“Jesus Christ was the first Fedayeen” - Monsignor #hilarion_capucci

Trump in the White House : An Interview With Noam Chomsky
▻http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/38360-trump-in-the-white-house-an-interview-with-noam-chomsky
According to current information, Trump broke all records in the support he received from white voters, working class and lower middle class, particularly in the $50,000 to $90,000 income range, rural and suburban, primarily those without college education. These groups share the anger throughout the West at the centrist establishment, revealed as well in the unanticipated Brexit vote and the collapse of centrist parties in continental Europe. [Many of] the angry and disaffected are victims of the neoliberal policies of the past generation, the policies described in congressional testimony by Fed chair Alan Greenspan — “St. Alan,” as he was called reverentially by the economics profession and other admirers until the miraculous economy he was supervising crashed in 2007-2008, threatening to bring the whole world economy down with it. As Greenspan explained during his glory days, his successes in economic management were based substantially on “growing worker insecurity.” Intimidated working people would not ask for higher wages, benefits and security, but would be satisfied with the stagnating wages and reduced benefits that signal a healthy economy by neoliberal standards.
Working people, who have been the subjects of these experiments in economic theory, are not particularly happy about the outcome. They are not, for example, overjoyed at the fact that in 2007, at the peak of the neoliberal miracle, real wages for nonsupervisory workers were lower than they had been years earlier, or that real wages for male workers are about at 1960s levels while spectacular gains have gone to the pockets of a very few at the top, disproportionately a fraction of 1%. Not the result of market forces, achievement or merit, but rather of definite policy decisions, matters reviewed carefully by economist Dean Baker in recently published work.
The fate of the minimum wage illustrates what has been happening. Through the periods of high and egalitarian growth in the ’50s and ’60s, the minimum wage — which sets a floor for other wages — tracked productivity. That ended with the onset of neoliberal doctrine. Since then, the minimum wage has stagnated (in real value). Had it continued as before, it would probably be close to $20 per hour. Today, it is considered a political revolution to raise it to $15.
With all the talk of near-full employment today, labor force participation remains below the earlier norm. And for working people, there is a great difference between a steady job in manufacturing with union wages and benefits, as in earlier years, and a temporary job with little security in some service profession. Apart from wages, benefits and security, there is a loss of dignity, of hope for the future, of a sense that this is a world in which I belong and play a worthwhile role.
[…]
There are other factors in Trump’s success. Comparative studies show that doctrines of white supremacy have had an even more powerful grip on American culture than in South Africa, and it’s no secret that the white population is declining. In a decade or two, whites are projected to be a minority of the work force, and not too much later, a minority of the population. The traditional conservative culture is also perceived as under attack by the successes of identity politics, regarded as the province of elites who have only contempt for the ’’hard-working, patriotic, church-going [white] Americans with real family values’’ who see their familiar country as disappearing before their eyes.
One of the difficulties in raising public concern over the very severe threats of global warming is that 40 percent of the US population does not see why it is a problem, since Christ is returning in a few decades. About the same percentage believe that the world was created a few thousand years ago. If science conflicts with the Bible, so much the worse for science. It would be hard to find an analogue in other societies.
By the year 2050, 41% of Americans believe that Jesus Christ definitely (23%) or probably (18%) will have returned to earth.
