February 19‚ 2024 What We Should Do With Detrimental ThoughtsKIA STEPHENS  Lee en español "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God‚ and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." 2 Corinthians 10:5 (NIV) It was my son's 6th birthday‚ and I was planning an epic Chuck E. Cheese party. I sent the invites‚ purchased the party hats and favors‚ ordered the cake‚ and did everything but what was most important. The day arrived‚ and I eagerly made my way to the kiosk so the attendant could check my son's name off the birthday-party clipboard. It was then that I realized what I had forgotten to do: make the reservation. The epic birthday party felt like an epic mom fail. Right then‚ not only did I entertain detrimental thoughts of embarrassment and failure‚ but I also believed them. This is the exact opposite of what the Apostle Paul instructs in 2 Corinthians 10:5: "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God‚ and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." In Paul's letter to the church at Corinth‚ he used aggressive language to describe how believers in Christ are to deal with our thoughts. The words "demolish" and "captive" in 2 Corinthians 10:5 illustrate the seriousness of the battle raging in our minds. We cannot afford to ignore‚ pacify or play with our detrimental thoughts. We are encouraged to destroy them. Leave no trace of evidence that they existed. For us today‚ the word "demolish" may bring to mind heavy machinery knocking down walls and removing thought debris in our minds. And when I think of something that is captive‚ I envision it being contained and controlled. This is what Paul tells the Corinthians to do with every single thought: Take it captive. When the question‚ How could you be so stupid? entered my mind‚ I did not have to agree with it. Forgetting to make a reservation for my child's birthday party is not great‚ but it doesn't make me stupid; it makes me human. In moments when we are bullied by our thoughts‚ we can ask ourselves: Is this thought supported in God's Word? If the thought cannot be backed by Scripture‚ we can ask a second question: Is there a Scripture that refutes this thought? This is a hard practice to adopt consistently‚ but I am determined to embrace Paul's admonishment. We do not have to be victims of our thoughts‚ powerless to control them. We can combat untrue thoughts with the Word of God‚ who has also gifted counselors‚ pastors and trusted friends to come alongside us if we need help along the way. We are equipped to demolish and take captive every lie that stands in opposition to the knowledge of God. Had I asked myself the two questions above on that day at Chuck E. Cheese‚ I would have realized the condemnation I spoke to myself was not true. The other moms helped me fix my party blunder‚ and it ended up being an epic birthday after all. Dear God‚ thank You that I do not have to be a victim to my thoughts and that I can take every thought captive. Thank You for helping me make my thoughts obedient to Christ. In Jesus' Name‚ Amen.

An elderly couple from the United Kingdom reportedly received a letter from their council suggesting their home could be purchased and used to house migrants. Jose and Ted Saunders said the North Northamptonshire Council sent them a “strongly-worded letter” saying their £200‚000 home could be subject to “compulsory purchase‚” Daily Mail reports. “An elderly British couple received a letter in the mail from their city council informing them that the authorities were preparing to seize their newly purchased £200‚000 home‚ and use it to house migrants. The couple just moved into their home in November‚ and received the notice last month‚” Ben Swann wrote. “We are writing as have reason to believe that the above-named premises or land is empty or unused and that you are the owner. We would like to take this opportunity to find out what your intentions are for the premises or site‚” the letter read. “The Government has identified empty privately owned properties as a potential cause of blight within communities‚ and as a wasted resource at time of high housing need. It is setting targets for Local Authorities and is requiring action by them to reduce this problem‚” it continued. “The Resettlement Team at North Northamptonshire Council supports asylum seekers and refugees across three different projects: Homes for Ukraine‚ Afghan Resettlement‚ and Asylum Dispersal‚” it added.

It added: ‘The ideal long-term solution would be to provide accommodation by using empty properties which would benefit owners and the project.’ It said the council could make a compulsory purchase order on the property.

The council apologized‚ saying their staff mistakenly labeled the house for possible compulsory purchase. Daily Mail noted the couple criticized the policy. “What on earth is the council doing forcing people to sell their houses‚ and even an empty house is owned by someone‚ so that asylum seekers can live in them?” Jose asked‚ according to the outlet. “The answer to this is to stop them coming in the first place‚ not to force people out of their homes‚” she added.

The law would have prohibited people from carrying a concealed firearm in places such as public parks‚ playgrounds‚ and religious institutions‚ regardless if they have a concealed weapon carry permit or not. In reaction to the bill being blocked‚ the president of the California Rifle and Pistol Association Chuck Michel said‚ “California progressive politicians refuse to accept the Supreme Court’s mandate from the Bruen case and are trying every creative ploy they can imagine to get around it. The Court saw through the State’s gambit.” In September‚ California saw its ban on large-capacity magazines struck down as unconstitutional by US District Court Judge Roger Benitez. In the decision‚ he said‚ “This case is about a California state law that makes it a crime to keep and bear common firearm magazines typically possessed for lawful purposes.” He ruled‚ “Based on the text‚ history‚ and tradition of the Second Amendment‚ this law is clearly unconstitutional.” “California couldn’t care less about retail theft‚ child mutilation‚ infanticide‚ or illegals breaking into America‚ but it feels entitled to harass law abiding gun owners.

When he isn’t thrilling audiences the world over‚ revisiting Genesis classics‚ Steve Hackett churns out wildly ambitious solo albums — 30 to be exact. For 2024‚ he’s made it a little more personal on the conceptual The Circus And The Nightwhale. Over the course of 13 tracks‚ Hackett and his magnificent band and guests cover the gamut‚ creating an adventurous‚ swashbuckling elixir of sophisticated arrangements marinating in a stew of progressive rock theater. Hackett’s first new album in two years‚ The Circus And The Nightwhale scales a surreal narrative that mirrors the guitarist’s life as it circles around the plight of Travla‚ the story’s central figure. With locomotive force and strains of keyboardist Roger King’s orchestrations‚ “People Of The Smoke” fiercely pushes forward through post-war London. “Talking You Down” is a chiseled player‚ cut equally with Hackett’s reverb-soaked vocals and stinging leads‚ plus Rob Townsend’s frothy sax thrown in to stretch the theme as it collects experiences and builds character. As a singer‚ Hackett has a proven style that seamlessly aligns within the buoyancy of the music. His smooth delivery on “Found And Lost” gives way to embellished accompaniment from Nad Sylvan and Amanda Lehmann on the pageantry heavy “Enter The Ring.” The hammer falls on “Get Me Out” before the affirmation of “Ghost Moon And Living Love” frames a romantic streak within a simple melody and Hackett’s breezy acoustic work. “Circo Inferno” encapsulates everything you need to love about The Circus And The Nightwhale and its musicality. Altogether‚ Hackett‚ King‚ Townsend‚ bassist Jonas Reingold‚ and drummer Craig Blundell with Malik Mansurov on the tar‚ twist up the tarmac and lay its foundation. From there‚ the guitarist salaciously strolls the fretboard on “All At Sea.” Then‚ as if Moby Dick himself was stirring in the tide‚ “Into The Nightwhale” stridently rises and spills out a floating symphony of hope and resilience. “Wherever You Are” swims through choppy waters to make good on Travla’s (and‚ in turn‚ Steve Hackett’s) efforts at keeping the modern-day circus from being swallowed up by the massive whale of life. Finally‚ the instrumental “A White Dove” skips through a field of acoustic daffodils and rest assured‚ we’re homeward bound. You can sign off with an optimistic smile. With songwriting contributions from King and Jo Hackett‚ additional drumming courtesy of Nick D’Virgilio and Hugo Degenhardt‚ extra bits of keyboards by the album’s engineer Benedict Fenner‚ and an appearance on the flute by Hackett’s younger brother John‚ The Circus And The Nightwhale easily rates as one of the guitarist’s most accesible‚ collaborative‚ and cohesive efforts. And there’s bound to be a follow-up in the works. Bringing the yesteryears of Genesis to concert stages in between bouts of indulging himself in swaths of affectuous creativity — it would almost be criminal for Steve Hackett to stop what he’s been doing so well for the past 50 years or so. ~ Shawn Perry The post Steve Hackett | The Circus And The Nightwhale – New Studio Release Review first appeared on VintageRock.com.
