  2. Freedom in the Prophet’s Era

    The new Muslims among the expatriate Arabs were not spared from raising their faith/fitility by criticizing the administrative and financial procedures of the state, in numerous incidents that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, met with silence, abstinence and gratification.

  3. Balancing Worldly Work and the Pursuit of the Hereafter: The Comprehensive Islamic Concept

    The balance advocated by Islam does not mean dividing a human life into a secular part and a spiritual part as if they were conflicting paths. Rather, it means living out one’s worldly life while keeping the afterlife in mind, turning daily affairs into a path toward God’s pleasure.

  9. The Men Without Monuments: A Biblical Perspective

    The men remembered by monuments did not spend their lives demanding recognition. They earned it. Scripture teaches the same principle: God honors the humble and opposes the proud. In an age obsessed with self-promotion, that lesson may be more important than ever.

  15. Justin Perkins—Presbyterian missionary to Persia, not a man without evangelistic credentials—makes an argument that should interest anyone whose primary concern is spreading Christianity. American slavery, he says, was not merely sinful but the single greatest human obstacle to that very project. One notes that some Christians prefer a gospel uncomplicated by current issues. Perkins suggests that in his era, ignoring the obstacle didn’t make it less obstructive.

  16. Charles Mingus - Blues & Roots

    Mingus could do so much...but the album that people think of is often this—the one he put out to prove he could swing with the best of them.

    And, hell, he sure could, accompanied by Booker Ervin (tenor), Dannie Richmond (drums), Horace Parlan (piano), Jackie McLean (alto), Jimmy Knepper (trombone), John Handy (alto), Mal Waldron (piano), Pepper Adams (baritone), and Willie Dennie (trombone).

  17. "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" is a traditional #gospel song and #jazzStandard that has been performed and recorded by many artists. Performed as either an instrumental or vocal, "A Closer Walk" is perhaps the most frequently played number in the #hymn and #dirge section of #traditionalNewOrleansJazz funerals. The title and lyrics of the song allude to the Biblical passage from #2Corinthians 5:7 which states, "We walk by faith, not by sight" and #James 4:8.

  18. Musical Interlude: I first heard Joan Baez singing this, which was pretty damned white of me, I have to admit. I did a little digging and found other less-pale versions that were more impactful. I remember singing this to myself at my first gay rights march...wow...memories coming back!

    Still, this is a stirring rendition, and this is a good day to share it.

    "Oh Freedom," performed by the Golden Gospel Singers.

  20. Unshakeable Foundations in a Turbulent World

    706 words, 4 minutes read time.

    Psalm 119:116 – Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

    Introduction

    In a world filled with uncertainty, it’s easy to feel like our foundations are shifting beneath us. But what if we told you that despite the chaos around us, your foundation can remain unshakeable? In this devotional, we’ll explore how Psalm 119 can be the anchor of hope in turbulent times.

    The Power of Scripture

    Psalm 119 is a powerful reminder of the impact of scripture on our lives. As we read through these verses, we’re struck by the depth and richness of God’s Word. It’s not just a book of rules or regulations; it’s a living, breathing source of life that can guide us through even the darkest of times.

    David writes, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path” (Psalm 119:105 NIV). This verse speaks to the transformative power of scripture in our lives. When we immerse ourselves in God’s Word, it becomes a source of guidance, comfort, and strength.

    Building Unshakeable Foundations

    To build unshakeable foundations, we need to focus on what truly matters. We can’t control the external circumstances that surround us, but we can control how we respond to them. As believers, our foundation is built on the rock of Christ, and His Word is the anchor that holds us fast.

    But it’s not just about knowing scripture; it’s about living it out in our daily lives. When we make God’s Word a priority, we begin to see the world through His eyes. We start to understand that everything we face can be transformed by His power and wisdom.

    The Importance of Community

    As believers, we’re not meant to go it alone. We need community – people who will encourage us, support us, and challenge us to grow in our faith. When we surround ourselves with like-minded individuals, we become a source of strength for one another.

    The early church was built on the foundation of discipleship, where believers were committed to one another and to spreading the Gospel (Acts 2:42-47). As we seek to build unshakeable foundations in our own lives, let’s not forget the importance of community. Let’s reach out to those around us and support them in their walk with God.

    Prayer for Unshakeable Foundations

    Lord, help us to build unshakeable foundations on Your rock. Give us a deepening love for Your Word and a desire to live it out in our daily lives. Surround us with people who will encourage and support us on our journey. And as we face the challenges of this world, may You be our anchor of hope, holding fast to our hearts and guiding us through the turbulent times.

    Reflection / Challenge

    • What are some areas in your life where you feel like your foundation is shifting? How can you apply Psalm 119 to those situations?
    • In what ways do you currently prioritize scripture in your daily life? Are there any changes you could make to deepen your relationship with God’s Word?
    • Who are some people in your life who can help you build unshakeable foundations? How can you reach out to them and support one another on your journey?

    Prayer / Closing

    May the anchor of hope hold fast to our hearts, guiding us through the turbulent times. Amen.

  21. This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #MyFavouriteXmasSong. I first thought of Darlene Love's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)", but since it has received a lot of exposure over the years, I decided to go for a lesser-known - but equally great - recording:

    The Meditation Singers: The Spirit of Christmas (1968)
    youtube.com/watch?v=xW2uL2DOpMA

    This is one of the three songs the Meditation Singers recorded for the 1968 Checker Records album "A Christmas Dedication". Even with a couple of somewhat disappointing Soul Stirrers tracks on it, it is definitely one of the better Christmas albums in my household.

    "The Spirit of Christmas" was written by Sonny Thompson and Maurice Dollison, and produced by Ralph Bass, all music business veterans and Chess/Checker Records regulars at the time. The song was also issued as a single, with "Blue Christmas" - another excellent Sonny Thompson composition - on the flip side. This has been easily the most-played Christmas 45 in my collection for the last decade or so.
