This sermon explores the Parable of the Good Samaritan to redefine the concept of neighborly love beyond legalistic boundaries. The preacher contrasts the lawyer's attempt to justify himself with the transformative power of the Holy Spirit revealing truth to babes in Christ. By analyzing the actions of the priest, Levite, and Samaritan, the message emphasizes that true love requires active compassion, sacrifice, and mercy toward anyone in need. The exposition challenges listeners to move from abstract theological debate to personal responsibility in loving others as themselves. Ultimately, the sermon highlights human inability to meet this high standard, driving the audience to rely on God's grace and the example of Christ.

The sermon centers on the Gospel of Luke chapter 9, specifically the Transfiguration, to argue that the true essence of God's kingdom is the glory of Jesus Christ rather than theological debates or personal achievement. The preacher identifies three imperatives for believers: to see Christ's glory, to believe in Him by faith, and to hear His voice through Scripture. By contrasting the disciples' experience with modern church distractions, the message challenges listeners to shift their focus from self-glory and performance to a singular devotion to Jesus. The speaker warns against spiritual laziness and pride, using biblical examples like Samson to illustrate the danger of losing sight of divine glory. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a transformative commitment where believers allow Christ's majesty to shape their behavior and witness.

The Vaccine Decision Faith Debate: Sunday, July 19th, 2026 (07/26/26 on 930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland) Before joining Stand For Health Freedom, Valerie Ferrell specialized in health & parenting rights at her boutique law firm, especially surrounding birth & vaccine rights. She advocated for informed consent in health care & transparent food labeling in her state.

Dr. Tara Sander Lee is a Founding Board Member of SALT, Science Alliance for Life and Technology. She is a Science Advisor and Consultant who earned her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the Medical College of Wisconsin. She has over 30 years' experience in public policy, academic research and clinical medicine with an emphasis on the cause of pediatric disease There are numerous debates as to how far we can delve into scientific research and still hold to a system of ethics. Some say it really doesn't matter as long as it's for the common good. Take, for instance, embryonic stem cell research. Some will claim that since aborted baby tissue would otherwise go in the trash, it's fine to use it for experimentation. Others contend the use of fetal body parts from aborted babies in vaccines and treatment are also okay if others are being helped by it. Did you know there are labs that create human embryos solely for experiments? These embryos are usually destroyed once research is complete. Also, did you know aborted fetal tissue is still used in some medical studies? This research often happens without public awareness or consent. And what about the use of AI? AI tools are shaping choices in healthcare, pregnancy and research. If left unchecked, this can target those who are disabled, the unborn or even older adults. We are headed down a pathway of very concerning technologies, genetic screening, gene editing, cloning, artificial wombs, 3-parent embryos and even human-animal chimeras. Where do we draw the line? When is it time to put the brakes on scientific research to protect ethics and prevent us from going down the pathway of eugenics?

If you turn on the news today, you are likely to see headlines that feel overwhelming. You might see reports of religious conflicts, ancient churches burning in Europe, or debates about whether certain acts of violence represent "true" Islam. Many people feel confused. On one hand, we are told Islam is a religion of peace. On the other hand, groups committing acts of terror often claim they are the ones following the faith most closely. To understand what is happening in our world today, we have to look at the historical "software"—the system of ideas, laws, and history that drives this world system. In the world of computers, if you have a program that keeps crashing or acting in a specific way, you don't blame the monitor; you look at the code. This article is a look at that historical code.
