In Whom Do We Trust?

“Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel.”- Psalm 71:4

In all my years of studying religion, theology, and philosophy, I’ve never come across a satisfactory answer for the problem of evil in the world created and sustained by a good God.

Some would say it’s all part of a master plan that will one day be revealed. Others take the state of the world as evidence that there is no God- at least not an all powerful, all knowing, all good one.

As for myself, I’ve stopped trying to answer the question or debate the point. Instead, I’ve decided to embrace the mysterious presence that is all around us, the presence best experienced through faith, hope, and love.

I don’t know why hardship and suffering, injustice and inequality are so stubbornly pervasive. But I know I’m not bowing down to them.

As the old hymn goes, “I have decided to follow Jesus…. No turning back, no turning back.”

I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.

God’s Love is Bigger than That 0:55

Send us a text “No, Lord,” Peter declared. “I have never eaten anything that our Jewish laws have declared impure and unclean.” But the voice spoke again: “Do not call something unclean if God has made it clean.” - Acts 10:14-15 Peter and many of the earliest Christians didn’t believe Gentiles could really be Christians unless they were willing to live under customs, traditions, laws, and understanding of Scripture that they already had. Peter’s vision showed him that God has other plans. Many Christians both over the centuries and today have the same mindset. They think these other folks aren’t really Christians if they don’t think, believe, and act as they do. This century’s Gentile Christians are LGBTQ Christians. Many Christians believe these folks must be excluded from the community. But God has other plans. Don’t call anyone unclean who God has made clean. God’s love is bigger than that. #60secondsofhope #dailydevotion #dailyinspiration #dailydevotional #love #inclusion #inspiration #growth #positivity #positivemindset #personaldevelopment Support the show…

Give to Everyone: Stop Practicing Selective Compassion 0:59

Send us a text Give to Everyone: Stop Practicing Selective Compassion “Give to everyone who ask of you, and if anyone takes away what is yours, do not ask for it back again” - Luke 6:30 This verse comes from the middle of some of Jesus’s most challenging teachings. Jesus is challenging us to think, act, and react differently. The sequence ends with Jesus’s declaration that we will experience our highest level of wellbeing if we do. So why give to everyone? To avoid making ourselves the judge. To share the mercy, grace and forgiveness that we’d like to receive ourselves. It’s easy for us to help people who we feel deserve it… people in bad situations through no fault of their own. If we have any love in our hearts, it’s easy to help folk like this. But what about people who find themselves in bad situations largely because of their lack of character and judgment, because of their poor choices and bad habits? Our well of empathy for them tends to run dry. We can’t be who or what Jesus we are calls us to be until we stop practicing selective compassion and start practicing compassion universally. #60secondsofhope #compasion #empathy #growth #inspiration #positivity #positivemindset #personaldevelopment #Luke #sermononthemount #dailydevotional #dailyinspiration #dailydevotion Support the show…

Send us a text Liberation Prayer* Fill us with the joy they tried to steal. Fill us with the hope they tried to kill. Informed by the history they tried to hide, may our feet You always guide. May our love always defeat our hate. And in doing what’s right may we never hesitate. Give us the patience and determination to persevere, regardless of victory looking far or near. Give us ears to hear each other’s stories and eyes to see each other’s pain. Give us hands and hearts to bandage each other and tongues to encourage and sustain. Finally we pray that whatever the challenge, and even in loss, You grant us the grace and faith to be able to say, it is well with our souls** as we carry our cross. We pray this in your name, God who sees us.*** Amen. *The Greek word often translated as salvation is also correctly translated as deliverance or liberation ** My father’s favorite hymn. *** Hagar’s name for God as pointed out by Delores Williams Support the show…

What Kind of Progress Do We Want? 0:54

Send us a text What Kind of Progress Do We Want? “American progress is described by problem, paradox, and irony… We must continue to ask what counts as American progress.” - Nichole Renee Phillips There are some people who just want their seat at the table and a fair chance to play. There are others who want to flip the table over and demand we play a different game. There are some who insist that everyone should have a chance to enter the race. There are others who go further and insist that everyone should at least have running shoes and get to start at the same time. But maybe, just maybe, we shouldn’t set life up as a game where there are winners and losers. Maybe we shouldn’t treat life as a race where a handful of winners get a medal and the rest get nothing at all. We need to think very carefully about what kind of progress we want. We have to develop the moral imagination to envision a different kind of world, and the dogged determination to pursue it with everything we have. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Don’t Give Up on Yourself 1:07

Send us a text ‘If they can make penicillin out of mouldy bread, they can sure make something out of you.’ – Muhammad Ali Some of us listening to this or reading this right now are not in a good place. We’ve made mistakes and poor choices. We’ve sometimes acted in bad faith with a lack of discipline, integrity, and courage. Perhaps some of the good people in our lives have distanced themselves from us or walked away from us entirely. Perhaps the people we have surrounded ourselves with are just as broken and dysfunctional as we are. There is no human life that is beyond God’s redemption. None of us are too far gone. God works for the good in everything for those who love God and align themselves with God’s purposes and intentions. (Romans 8:28) The same love that saved the sinner hanging on the cross is available to us. The same power that raised Jesus from the grave lives in us. (Romans 8:11) It is this power that will transform us and eventually transform our circumstances. Certain doors may be closed and certain opportunities lost. But God offers new possibilities and purposes for us as God’s grace renews us daily. (Lamentations 3:22-23) Don’t give up on yourself. God hasn’t given up on you. I’m Horace McMillon.

See How Good You Can Be 0:54

Send us a text “I requested of my Lord and Master to give me a work, I did not care how mean it was, only to try and see how good I would do it.” - George Liele What if we were to pursue excellence every day? Whatever our gifts, whatever our calling, whatever our opportunities, imagine doing everything we can to make the most of them. How would our lives change? How would our communities change? How might this world change? Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. (Ecclesiastes 9:10). And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; (Colossians 3:23) It’s only when we be our best, give our best, do our best, that we can see the best outcomes in our lives and in the world around us. Let’s see how good we can be? I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Be Grateful for What You Have 0:59

cách đây 6 ngày trước0:59

Send us a text “Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.” - Oprah Winfrey The writer of Proverbs said that as a person thinks in their heart, so they are. (Proverbs 23:7). Even if a selfish, greedy person were to put on a lavish banquet, the meal would not be worth eating. There is no joy there. One of my favorite miracle stories is that of Jesus feeding the multitude. In the Gospel of John’s telling of the story, Jesus was concerned about the wellbeing of the crowd and wanted them to bit to eat in order to sustain them. He has the disciples ask the crowd if anyone had something they could share. Only one little boy offered up his lunch. Rather than complain about what he didn’t have and what others didn’t do, Jesus gave thanks for what he had and began to share with everyone. Then a miracle took place and the whole crowd had more than enough to eat. I don’t know if the miracle was God miraculously multiplying the food, or if the miracle was the change of heart the crowd had watching Jesus and the boy- causing everyone to share. I just know all our miracles begin with generosity and gratitude. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Send us a text Now Is The Time "Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season. It is today that our best work can be done” - W.E.B. Du Bois We are not called to be passive bystanders. Rather, Jesus called us to take up our cross and follow him. (Matthew 16:24). We are called to be active participants in building a better world. There’s no convenient time to make a sacrifice. That’s why it’s called a sacrifice. Our work may not be completed in a lifetime. Nevertheless, our work must begin and/or continue today. The Gospel of Mark (3:32-35) puts it this way: “A crowd was sitting around Jesus, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.” Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked. Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.” Now is the time to do the work.

How Do We Measure Success? 0:59

cách đây 8 ngày trước0:59

Send us a text “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.” - Booker T. Washington We do not start life with the same resources. Nor is everyone presented with the same opportunities along the way. We do not all have access to the same networks. Social capital isn’t easily quantified, but it counts far more than we usually like to think it does. So how do measure our success? It can’t be accurately measured by comparing ourselves to others. Our success can only be measured by the journey that we ourselves are making. What kind of obstacles are we overcoming? Are we making the most of the resources and opportunities that are currently available to us? Are we better versions of ourselves today than we were yesterday? How are growing? Are we doing what we can to make the world, or at least our little corner of it, a better place? These are the true measures of success. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Send us a text "In every human Breast, God has implanted a Principle, which we call Love of Freedom; it is impatient of Oppression, and pants for Deliverance” - Phillis Wheatley Too frequently the world around us expects us to act as if everything is ok when it’s not ok… to suffer in silence… to make ourselves comfortable in dysfunction. Even when we are not in an immediate position to change, transform, or escape our circumstances, we must never surrender to them. We must never normalize routine indifference, injustice, or inequality. Deep within our hearts we know that every human being should be treated with dignity and respect. No one should be neglected, abused or exploited. Everyone should have access to food to eat, a safe place to sleep and an opportunity to develop into the best version of themselves. No matter how long anyone has been deprived of these circumstances, they must never stop panting for deliverance, nor must we ever stop panting with them. #60secondsofhope #faith #inspiration #motivation #success #freedom #growth #change #justice #dailydevotion #dailyinspiration #dailydevotional #positivity #BlackHistoryMonth #positivemindset #personalgrowth #personaldevelopment #progress #equality Support the show…
