(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis has released video message accompanying his monthly prayer intention for August.
This month's intention is for artists: "That artists of our time, through their creativity, may help us discover the beauty of creation,"
The text of the video message reads:
The arts give expression to the beauty of the faith and proclaim the Gospel message of the grandeur of God's creation.
When we admire a work of art or a marvel of nature, we discover how everything speaks to us of Him and of His love.
That artists of our time, though their creativity, may help us discover the beauty of creation.
The Pope's Worldwide prayer Network of the Apostleship of prayer developed the "Pope Video" initiative to assist in the worldwide dissemination of monthly intentions of the Holy Father in relation to the challenges facing humanity.

The lost man lost his stand in the presence of the Lord, lost his glory and all that was given to him by Almighty God; the garden of Eden, a place flowing with milk and honey, The new Jerusalem and was sent out as a result of sin, having lost all and have nothing again left than to suffer and labour under curse, Romans 6:23, the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life. Points To Consider: It's vital to known that sin is a reproach and out of Christ is crisis but because of ignorant and blind folding of the devil, man lost the following. 1) His stand with God 2) His glory 3) The nature of God and fellowship with God. Adam in Genesis 3:1, end lost his stand, his glory, nature and fellowship with God and the consequences was self pity, hiding   and many excuses but His savior and Lord was seriously seeking for his soul because he was very important to his creator (Genesis 3:9). Sin lead to excuses but man is inexcusable (Psalms 139:7-12, Jeremiah 23:24, J...

Their Gang Up Against President Tinubu Is Déjà Vu Of Their Gang Up Against President Jonathan - Reno Omokri

By

If you objectively assess the current so-called coalition against President Tinubu, you will observe that the promoters of this gathering are doing the same thing they did in 2014 and expecting a different result in 2027.  These same people gathered to unite against President Jonathan and ended up regretting their folly under eight years of Buhari. Buhari persecuted some of them, rigged others out, and even destroyed some of their businesses. It is one thing for those in another party to gather to scatter then-President Jonathan.  That was their job. But when those in his own party gathered to do it, should Nigerians be surprised that they are repeating their old habits? I worked VERY closely with President Jonathan.  Nigerians will think I am exaggerating when I say that man is like all the goodness in politics rolled up and personified in a human being. The straw that broke their back was that President Jonathan and Buhari eventually reconciled to the point that P...

10 Things “Yahweh” Means, By John Piper

God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations.” (Exodus 3:15) God’s name is almost always translated LORD (all caps) in the English Bible. But the Hebrew would be pronounced something like “Yahweh,” and is built on the word for “I am.” So every time we hear the word Yahweh, or every time you see LORD in the English Bible, you should think: this is a proper name (like Peter or John) built out of the word for “I am” and reminding us each time that God absolutely is. There are at least 10 things the name Yahweh, “I AM,” says about God: 1. He never had a beginning. Every child asks, “Who made God?” And every wise parent says, “Nobody made God. God simply is. And always was. No beginning.” 2. God will never end. If he did not come into being he cannot go out of being, be...
