Nice to know these are the guys that will be calling the shots in an Obama administration.
And of course all those former radicals who have ended their long embargo of American politics to heartily endorse Obama as one of their own.
Thanks to CJ.

---- — COLCHESTER, Vt. — One day removed from a heartbreak loss to Colchester, the Adams Glass Senior Babe Ruth team returned to Airport Park, earning back-to-back victories against Franklin County and Mount Mansfield 10-7 and 10-6 Sunday.
With the wins, the Peru-based team advanced to the Vermont Senior Babe Ruth Tournament championship game for a rematch with Colchester at 5:30 p.m. today. Adams Glass, which finished third in the Vermont Senior Babe Ruth Tournament a season ago, has to beat Colchester twice to win the Tournament championship today.
Adams Glass registered a three-run win over Franklin County to open play Sunday.
"We came out with a lot more energy and did a good job putting the ball in play," Adams Glass coach John Demarais said. "We had 11 hits and our base runners were aggressive, stealing eight bases."
With a tie game going into the bottom of the fourth inning, Franklin County's Corey Soule tagged a three-run home run over the centerfield wall.
After an additional run, Franklin County extended its lead to 7-4.
"The team showed a lot of character after the three-run homer," Demarais said. "We used that as momentum for us."
Getting players on and moving runners around with an aggressive approach, Luis Pepen-Matos belted a pinch-hit single in the top of the fifth to score the tying run.
Adams Glass notched three more runs on the board in the seventh inning to win the ballgame, 10-7.
Ethan King and Nick Uliva each recorded multiple hits.
Nick Demarais, who entered the game in relief in the fourth inning, earned the victory on the mound.
Matt Minkier was tagged with the loss.
"Nick Demarais was a bulldog in relief," John Demarais said. "He was hitting his spots and his curveball was the best I've ever seen."
In the second of two scheduled games, Adams Glass put runs on the board early and often, scoring five in the second inning and four in the third to maintain a 9-2 lead.
Adams Glass was hoping to end the game via the 10-run rule in the fourth with poor weather on its way, but was unable to do so.
The two teams sat through a one-hour delay before returning to the baseball diamond.
King, who made significant contributions at the plate in the earlier game, pitched six innings and earned the win in the second.
"Ethan King pitched a great game," John Demarais said. "The team gave him the run support we needed. I'm proud of these guys. We made it hard on ourselves, going through the loser's bracket, but we made it to the championship game."
Uliva finished the contest with three hits, with Alex Lamberton and Kevin Sousa each recording two hits each in the 10-6 win.
"After the delay, I think Ethan King got a little tired in the seventh," John Demarais said. "We were never threatened, but we had to get out of there and go home. The delay killed us, but everybody put the ball in play."

Glenn Beck - LEAVE THE COPS ALONE!
Yes, I know. Long time no post. I'm still trying to get my life together after the divorce and I think I am succeeding.
Meanwhile, I hope you all enjoy this clip I found. My apologies if it has already been posted.
I'd say Glenn Beck is right on the money. Some people are STOOPID, VERY STOOPID!!!
Choose The Right. When you're doing whats right, then you have nothing to worry about.

The last paragraph... if you watch nothing else, watch the very last of this clip. Awesome.And Shepards we shall be,
for thee, My Lord, for thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,
That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy Command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls will it ever be.
In Nomine Patris, Et Filli, Et Spiritus Sancti.
You know, I was actually amazed Beck managed to open his mouth for a few minutes and actually dole out something that was insightful and correct. Then he had to start with the "leftists" and "unions" stuff.
I know plenty "leftists" that are also cops (and I still give them a bunch of crap for it, but they're still bros). But yeah, that's still the most Beck has talked without giving me a headache."If everyone is thinking alike, then someone isn't thinking." -Gen. George S. Patton

Today, July 11, is National Collector Car Appreciation Day across the U.S. That means...
Ferrari 458 Spider revealed
Ferrari has unveiled the 458 Spider, claiming it to be the first series-production, mid-rear-engine car to be equipped with a folding hardtop roof.
Set to make its public debut at next month's Frankfurt motor show, the 458 Spider forgoes the traditional fabric hood used by the earlier 430 Spider for a newly developed, Ferrari-patented hardtop claimed to automatically fold back and stow ahead of the engine bay in 14 seconds at the press of a dashboard-mounted button.
The aluminum structure, which Ferrari describes as being fully integrated into the styling of the 458, is claimed to weigh 55 pounds, less than the fabric roof arrangement of the 430. It is also said to have been engineered without compromising aerodynamics or performance--although the official photographs released by Ferrari only show the 458 Spider with its roof stowed.
The 458 Spider is distinguished from the 458 Italia by two prominent buttresses incorporated into a tonneau cover that opens and then closes as the hardtop roof is stowed to preserve the styling. They are designed to optimize the flow of air to the engine intakes.
For added comfort when driving with the hardtop stowed, Ferrari gave the 458 Spider an electrically adjustable wind stop. It is claimed to diffuse the air entering the two-seat interior, reducing buffeting to a level Ferrari says allows normal conversation at speeds of more than 124 mph.
The 458 Spider is powered by the same naturally aspirated 4.5-liter V8 as the 458 Italia, producing 562 hp at a soaring 9,000 rpm and 398 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm. The heady reserves are channeled to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and electronic differential.
Ferrari claims a 0-to-62-mph time of 3.5 seconds, or a tenth of a second slower than the fixed-roof model, and a top speed of 198 mph.
Along with its new aluminum hardtop, measures taken in stiffening the 458 Spider's chassis added 110 pounds over the 458 Italia at 3,153 pounds. In a bid to give the car a unique driving character, Ferrari altered damping characteristics of the suspension.
Ferrari is not revealing exactly when it plans to put the 458 Spider on sale in North America but indicates it will be in "early 2012."

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner.
Great flank steak and pork chop. Dessert was amazing!"
Dined on 5/19/2014
A lovely evening. Staff is
congenial and competent. Food and wine were excellent."
Dined on 5/14/2014
We enjoyed a very quiet dinner.
We were alone in the dinning room the entire meal. Good place to dine at 5:30 pm during a week day. "
Dined on 5/7/2014
We attended for Easter brunch but
found no open seating and/or buffet. Small outdoor patio was perfect. Not crowded and beautiful view on a gorgeous day. It's a nice, quiet hideaway."
Dined on 4/20/2014
This is the nicest of the
restaurants at the Boulders Resort. The atmosphere is most comfortable, the food excellent and served very nicely."
Dined on 4/2/2014
We visit the Boulders annually for
a get away. The dining options are definitely shrinking. The Grill was a perfectly adequate gold club house experience; do not confuse this with fine dining as was formerly delivered at the Boulders Latilla Restaurant. Prime Rib was OK, desserts were good, wine choices limited and some mixed drinks so bad they needed to be sent back. Positive marks to the management that drinks not meeting expectation were comp'ed."

We decided to eat at The Grill at
the Boulders Golf Resort and Spa mainly because we did not feel like venturing out. The reviews I had read were good. I have to say I absolutely loved our meal and the entire experience. We were seated outside with a wonderful view of the golf course and the desert. As the sun went down, we were able to enjoy a sunset complete with hot air balloons in the distance. The ambiance was so nice and relaxing. Our waiter that night was excellent as well - showing just enough attention without hovering. And the food was a wonderful surprise. We both had salads, which started off with fresh, warm bread. We enjoyed this restaurant so much we invited a friend from Phoenix to drive up and join us the next night."
Dined on 3/6/2014
Small patio with a nice view of
the golf corse. The food was rather run of the mill, but the service was good."
Dined on 3/5/2014
Seated upon arrival at appointed
time. Service was great as Murat took great care of us with timely checks on how we were doing. Food was very good but my wife's salmon was very salty. She advised our waiter who in turn advised the manager. The manager came to apologize and offered to replace the salmon. In the end he comped the salmon entree even in light of our saying not necessary. My braised short ribs were outstanding and recommend that entree. Nice evening, fairly quiet and pleasant atmosphere."
Dined on 2/28/2014
The atmosphere was great with good
background music. Desert menu was limited while the main dishes were outstanding."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Restaurant is on the resort
compound. The food was good but if you have the ability to venture into town or Scottsdale, I would recommend that instead. The service was excellent and in line with the exceptional service of the resort. My wife and I are a bit on the foodie side and this didn't quite cut it."
Dined on 1/30/2014
Our dinner at the Boulder's Grille
was an impromptu decision and one I am truly glad I made. We were greeted immediately and had a lovely table in a very quiet dining room. The wine list is simple, but well chosen. The food was excellent. My wife's short ribs were excellent and tender. I had the grass fed New York Strip which was served to order and a generous portion. Our waitress was friendly yet allowed us to dine in relative privacy and did not hover but was available when needed."
Dined on 1/29/2014
While we were guests at the
Boulders we ate at all 3 restaurants and found them each to be very high on the food quality scale. The chef here delivers inventive Sourthwestern-inspired cuisine that makes this a worth-while destination for any foodie in the area."
Dined on 1/1/2014
Terrific food at reasonable prices
with terrific service and a warm cozy atmosphere. Cant beat it. A wonderful evening."
Dined on 12/30/2013
The Waldorf Astoria Boulders
Resort has in my opinion no longer a good dining restaurant. It is OK to eat there but for a resort of this not it is pittyful. Food was just OK, service a little clumsy but friendly. You need to go back to your roots, you were a hot place once."
Dined on 10/30/2013
I think we had a new waiter. He
was slow and we watched him carry our wine all around outside, and them lastly bring it back into the dining room to serve us. The entre I ordered was picked up and served to someone else and I was given hers. So, I sat while my husband ate his dinner and they fixed my dinner. They compensated with a glass of wine, but, that isn't really helping. We are dining out and expect excellence."

A golf-club restaurant. Sitting on
the patio gives a view of the course. Dress is casual."
Dined on 4/2/2013
Excellent food, great ambience.
Would highly recommend."
Dined on 2/14/2013
The Grille at the Boulders is a
wonderful place to go if you would like a nice, quiet dinner with your significant other or a small group. The menu is small, but has something for everyone. The service is impeccable. This would probably not be a good place to take children, as it mostly caters to a more mature crowd and they would probably become restless with the lack of things to do. Right next to the Grille is a nice lounge where you could go for an after dinner drink or a before dinner cocktail. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends."
Dined on 2/14/2013
The Boulders has great views. It
was a little hard to find the restaurant(Need Better Signage). The Menu and Ambiance needs updating, you fell like your in the 90's. As for the food, We felt they where trying too hard (over presentation on the food.) I would have preferred simple, clean and classic. My wife and I probably wouldn't go back unless they updated the menu."
Dined on 2/14/2013
Very good food.....service alittle
slow but waitress was very friendly and was working very hard. Think they needed more help that evening!!!"
Dined on 2/9/2013
A small beautiful restaurant
overlooking the 18th at the Boulders. Outstanding service and ambiance. Made us feel wanted on our anniversary. Excellent food and a visit from the chef was noteworthy. A must visit for couples."
Dined on 2/8/2013
Great Steak and Chops at a fair
price. The three course meals are an excellent choice when available; includes salad/soup, entree and dessert. Both the wedge and arugula salas were well prepared and tasted great. Wait staff were punctual and unobstrusive - never overbearing and very accomodating. You can eat at your own pace - never rushed. The bar adjacent to the restaurant is both a sports bar and place to have a leisuring cocktail thought without the ambiance of stuffed chairs and fireplace as the lounge outside the Boulders Palo Verde restaurant"
Dined on 12/28/2012
Very dissapointing. The quality of
the food was sub par I ordered the lobster Mac and cheese and it was so poor that the manager did not charge me for it. I would not return"
Dined on 12/28/2012
Ambiance is very typical of golf
club restaurant. Menu and food weary very good. Our main course was delayed and the staff went out if their way to apologize and make it up for us"
Dined on 12/1/2012
Outstanding experience in every
way! The executive chef designed the perfect menu for Thanksgiving and the staff could not have been better. We had a 5:15PM seating and they never rushed us out; instead they encouraged us to take our time and stay. I would recommend the Grill to anyone who wants to eat well and feel comfortable while doing it! We will be back again next year with special friends and family."
Dined on 11/22/2012
Food was of high caliber with an
interesting diversity. Hospitality and service were very friendly and personable. Outdoor on the patio was very scenic and romantic. Certainly a great choice for fine dining in North Scottsdale."

Recently opened to the public to
offer another fine dining option near Carefree. The scallops were excellent and well priced and the service was great. Only complaint: The wine list was overpriced (400% markup over retail, which is way outside the norm)."
Dined on 3/8/2012
Delightful grille in Boulders golf
club. Terrific wait staff. The calamari appetizer was best I ever had anywhere. Entrees were very good and mainly seafood and beef choices. If you stay near the Boulders in Scottsdale, consider the Grille for dinner."

We all were shocked by John MacArthur's announced promotion of the NIV2011. Gobsmacked.
Here is a man who has spent his life working his rod and staff in protection of the flock of God. Then this.
John's not been afraid to beat off wolves from the inside. His Gospel According to Jesus was a wonderful encouragment in defending the Gospel of grace against Dallas Theological Seminary and Grace Theological Seminary men who thought they must deny Christ as Lord to embrace Him as Savior. And like many of you, I praised God for the man as I read that book.
It was no aberration, as I'm sure Iain Murray makes clear through his autobiography of John recently released. And there's that, also: likely the man David and I have benefitted from more across our life's work than any other--Iain Murray--showed his commendation of John by giving himself to John's biography. Honestly, there could be little higher commendation for us this side of Heaven than Iain choosing to do this work.
Feminists aren't on the inside of John's world and church so why has he gone and made common cause with them at this late date? Has he grown weary? Has he changed his mind...
on sex-neutered Bible translation? Does he want to make nice as he ages?
Right there I'm sure many find themselves angry, again. How dare I accuse John of growing weary? Of changing his minnd? The very idea of John deciding to change course and "make nice" is ludicrous. John is not interested in making nice. His only commitment is fighting the good fight and finishing the course in a way that pleases his Master.
Alright then, why? Why has John allowed his name to be used to promote a Bible that systematically repudiates the Fatherhood of God writ large over man? Why has he decided to sell a Bible that deletes the name "adam" God gave the race? Why is he promoting a Bible that obscures the federal headship of Adam over that race? That hides the wonderful truth of Scripture that all die in that "one man" Adam? We didn't die in both Adam and Eve, nor did we die in that first eater of the fruit, Eve.
When we stop to count the doctrines attacked by the systematic destruction of the Holy Spirit's name for the race used throughout Sacred Scripture, we pinch ourselves and ask, again, why would John do such a thing? What is his motivation? Is he really so naive as to think calling the NIV2011 the "MacArthur Study Bible" is not misleading of the sheep who look to him for safe pasture? Can he be oblivious to the power of marketing and sales? To the ignorance of consumers--"Well, John MacArthur's name is on it so it must be OK."
Actually, this is what I think and I'd be happy for someone to prove me wrong. Deep down inside where a man ruminates over such decisions and makes them, John came to the conclusion that neutering the sex markings of Scripture is no big deal. He concluded that the doctrine of God's name for the race is fine to leave behind because no other doctrine hangs on it. And added to these conclusions, he felt it important that his life's work residing in his notes have the broadest possible distribution, even at the expense of endorsing what he sees as only a slightly imperfect Bible translation. As he's pointed out justifying his decision, all Bible translations are slightly imperfect.
Anyhow, we're left with the fact of John's name and work promoting an ideological attack upon the Word and Words of God and it's left us flabbergasted. We've loved John and trusted his work. We've commended his work to many. I'll never forget listening to his sermons on Timothy back in my first pastorate out of seminary. What strength those sermons gave me for my work! I've been grateful for them (and him) throughout my ministry. How many times I've recollected them and been strengthened to do what's right.
Others may be so close to John that they don't feel able to question his decision or to ask him to reverse it. Being Presbyterians, David and I have that freedom.
John, for the sake of the Gospel according to Jesus Christ, reverse this decision. God will give you the distribution of your study notes that He wants without you promoting an ideological feminist abuse of His Word. Go for depth and leave the breadth to Him.
Write Zondervan and Nelson and tell them you've changed your mind. Please, dear brother. It's not a matter of picking sides between conservatives and liberals. It's a matter of obeying the God Who warns us:
I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book. (Revelation 22:18, 19)
In my own MacArthur Study Bible fifteen years old, now, I find your comment on this text above:
These are not the first such warnings (cf. Deut. 4:2, 12:32; Prov. 30:6; Jer. 26:2). These warnings against altering the biblical text represent the close of the NT canon. Anyone who tampers with the truth by attempting to falsify, mitigate, alter, or misinterpret it will incur the judgments described in these verses.
Save one last sentence, these words above are the conclusion of your study notes for Scripture. Listen to them, dear brother.
Your own MacArthur Study Bible will tamper with the truth by falsifying, mitigating, and altering the very text of Scripture. And while you didn't do the translation yourself, you will be selling the translation with your own name and work.
Don't do it. We love you and want to see you end well. We appeal to you as a father.
A faithful shepherd doesn't mislead God's sheep.
I hope Mr. MacArthur actually sees this. Should readers re-post this wherever possible?
Sure, do as you think best, dear brother.
Dear Tim,
Thank you. This is my hope also. Money talk aside. The decision to link the MSB to the latest NIV Bible is a very bad decision and as you say, does not hold consistent with John MacArthur's years of unflinching faithfulness.
Through the years I have rejoiced when seeing John on Larry King Live, knowing that he would tell the truth regardless of what it meant when others wilted under the pressure.
As we draw nearer to the end of our race and ministry, we want to declare even more loudly and boldly don't we? Our later days are days where we want to hold firm, not give way. What a snare this is and how frequently we see it that men do this toward the end. May God grant that John not do so.
I do not know anyone at GTY personally but I can only assume that the decision to link arms with Zondervan flowed from the desire to get more people in contact with John's thoughts on the Scriptures. We must remember that the product here is not the Bible alone but the "John MacAruther Study Bible". Even so, no fallible man's thoughts on the Bible are important enough to promote this unfaithful, dangerous translation of the Bible. Not even Luther's or Calvin's.
May God grant John and those at GTY to turn back from this association with the NIV. I am sure that they will be glad they did and so will the Church of God.
Love, Gary
It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.
- Syme, character in the novel 1984
Amen Tim, this post really hits the heart of the matter.
I hope someone will post it to John MacArthur as I'm not sure he reads blogs.
On a related note, just this morning I read a shockingly candid statement in the Preface to Bakers 3rd Edition of the English translation of the Apostolic Fathers that reveals the aggressive agenda of gender neutering that is sweeping across the church:
"various strategies were used to avoid inclusive use of masculine pronouns wherever possible"
The NIV2010 is just a reflection of what is happening all around. I expect it to get even worse in the next revision.
I think one problem is that many conservatives do not actually see the issue seriously enough. The guys at Team Pyro, despite much of their good work, tend to be pretty quiet when it comes to the encroachment of feminism in our society. I'm not sure they see eye to eye with you on it, so perhaps they do not really feel the NIV 2010 is that bad. I'm not sure if this is a reflection on John MacArthur though.
Perhaps it is worth blogging through Grudem/Poythress' book or something to help educate your readers better. Michael Marlowe of bible-researcher.org also has some excellent articles on the subject.
Coming soon to Amazon:
Announcing the New and Improved
John MacArthur 'Preacher Girl' Study Bible™
"You've Come a Long Way, Baby!"
I started thinking that scrapping the NIV MSB is impossible. After all, a business deal has been finalized. It's been announced all over. It's a done deal.
But I had to reprove my faithless mind and believe Jesus when He said that with men this impossible, but with God all things are possible.
Not only could John MacArthur change his mind on this MSB, he could even denounce the 2011 NIV. May God get all the glory when the 2011 NIV go the way of the TNIV.
This should have been your first post brother...
May it find good soil.

My dear brother, Bill Mouser, couldn't get his comment to "take," so here it is. Which is to say Fr. Bill Mouser wrote the following:
"We all were shocked by John MacArthur's announced promotion of the NIV2010. Gobsmacked."
Then, dear brothers, you are in a tiny minority of Christian leaders. Not only does the gobsmacked minority not include John MacArthur, but also does not include his chief lietenant at GTY (Phil Johnson), who by his own testimony here and at his blog explains why he contends for linking MacArthur's work with the NIV2010 ~against~ John MacArthur's original inclination against such a move.
Because you are gobsmacked (and I was too!), you ask "Why? Why, why, why?" It's a dangerous question to ask, because that question more than any other goes straight to motive, a thing exceedingly difficult to nail down.
When asking this question, one is usually left to speculation alone, and -- here's where I think you made a strategic error -- you opined on a financial motive. Such a motive has theoretical possibility, maybe even circumstantial plausibility given the realities doing Christian ministry in a modern economy. But, whether or not you meant to posit venality on John MacArthur's part, venality is what everyone heard (including the gobsmacked). John's defenders, energized by justifiable outrage that such a motive on John's part was a factor, leapt to his defense, and I'd wager you pretty much lost all your readers as far as the point you are seeking to make (all over again) in this blog post.
After impugning John MacArthur's character (whether you actually did this or not is virtually irrelevant; it's what almost everyone -- including most likely John himself if he's privy to all this! -- has heard), do you think a revised appeal for him to reverse his decision will be received?
Nevertheless, your revised appeal has this going for it -- it puts a finger on the real reason for going forward with so unnatural a union as John MacArthur's study notes and the NIV2010. You nailed it when you wrote this:
"Actually, this is what I think and I'd be happy for someone to prove me wrong. Deep down inside where a man ruminates over such decisions and makes them, John came to the conclusion that neutering the sex markings of Scripture is no big deal. He concluded that the doctrine of God's name for the race is fine to leave behind because no other doctrine hangs on it."
And this is the very thing both you and I and a few others over the past 20 years have run into over and over and over again, particularly within the ranks of "complementarians."
How often have you heard complementarian pastors, seminary professors, and mission executives -- complementarians, mind you -- say something like this: "The feminists do have a point in their favor, and we must take care to listen to their grievances and to address them." How often have such complementarian ~leaders~ taken those who champion patriarchy to task, warning them that they must take elaborate care to avoid falling into abusive attitudes and actions toward women in the church?
As for foundational Christian doctrine -- i.e. the incarnation, the Trinity, the economy of salvation, not to mention the more obvious doctrines of male headship in marriage, family, church, and society; the real versus the merely metaphorical Fatherhood of God; the ordination of women as elders and deacons -- when I've tried to argue that religious feminism undercuts and degrades all of these doctrines, those to whom I've made this case face-to-face quickly get glazed eyes, nervous twitching of the fingers,
irresistable urges to change the subject to ... well, to anything else. I'm a well-meaning crank to such people. So are both of you. And these are supposed to be our friends, our comrades in the Gospel.
" ... neutering the sex markings of Scripture is no big deal."
There is the rationale for pairing the work of a complementarian like John MacArthur with an English translation like the NIV2010. And, so long as John MacArthur, and Phil Johnson, and others at GTY think this, no appeal will avail. Your appeal won't be considered any longer than it takes to recognize it as one more crank complaint from johnny-one-note Christian pastors.
>>This should have been your first post brother...
Actually, it found it's mark. Quite telling, I thought. May God use this one, also.
>>johnny-one-note Christian pastors.
When his people complained about his frequent preaching against fornication, Spurgeon said, "When you stop doing it, I'll stop preaching against it."
When Evangelicals stop getting rich off their writing and speaking enterprises, I'll stop warning against it. When homeschooling mothers start honoring and obeying their husbands, I'll stop preaching submission. When I stop being proud, I'll stop confessing my sin.
Well, since I've never gotten rich -- not even made a living! -- from speaking or writing, I'l keep on tooting my one note, or at least this anti-religious-feminist note, as long as I have breath to blow the horn.
Thanks for the help with posting. I think, sometimes, that Typepad and my word processor just don't get along.
Fr. Bill,
What would it take to get you and Barbara up to Bloomington for the next ClearNote Fellowship conference? I would really like to meet you.
There's something really encouraging and strengthening about a joyful hoary-headed warrior. Fight on, father!
"What would it take to get you and Barbara up to Bloomington for the next ClearNote Fellowship conference?"
Planning, and nothing else that has an earlier claim on my attention and attendance. I see the date for this year's conference is ... well, ending today! So, I'll need to learn when the conference for 2013 is scheduled, I suppose.
That's the pastors' conference, but the conference for everybody is scheduled for July 6-8 of this year. Do come.
Fr Bill,
Come July, I'll make the trek if you do.
The decision by John MacArthur clearly demonstrates that he and his close associates believe that MacArthur's Study Notes will correct any errors of the NIV translation. The Study Notes would overrule an erroneous translation and aid the Holy Spirit in teaching the truth. It is the Word of God that is quick and active, not anyone's study notes. The Bible instructs us to meditate on the Word of God, not study notes written by a flawed person. If the Word of God is deliberately tampered with, the Truth is tampered with. Is the unction of the Spirit applied to such a situation? One may conclude from MacArthur's reasoning that his study notes appended to the New World Translation would turn Jehovah's Witnesses to the Truth.
Nothing new under the sun... I call them scripture wars.
Is Martin Luther guilty in light of Rev.22:18f ? He did "adds to"
"Dr. Emser, one of the most learned opponents of the Reformation, singled out in Luther's New Testament several hundred linguistic blunders and heretical falsifications. (35) Many of them were silently corrected in later editions. He published, by order of Duke George of Saxony, a new translation (1527) for the purpose of correcting the errors of 'Luther and other heretics.' (36)
The charge that Luther adapted the translation to his theological opinions has become traditional in the Roman Church, and is repeated again and again by her controversialists and historians. (37)
The same objection has been raised against the Authorized English Version. (38)
In both cases, the charge has some foundation, but no more than the counter-charge which may be brought against Roman Catholic Versions.
The most important example of dogmatic influence in Luther's version is the famous interpolation of the word alone in Rom. 3:28 (allein durch den Glauben), by which he intended to emphasize his solifidian doctrine of justification, on the plea that the German idiom required the insertion for the sake of clearness. (39) But he thereby brought Paul into direct verbal conflict with James, who says (James 2:24), 'by works a man is justified, and not only by faith' ('nicht durch den Glauben allein'). It is well known that Luther deemed it impossible to harmonize the two apostles in this article, and characterized the Epistle of James as an 'epistle of straw,' because it had no evangelical character ('keine evangelische Art')." www.bible-researcher.com/luther02.html
Furthermore Zondervan and Nelson have no particular commitment to the Truth. Their publications list promotes anything and anyone that may turn a dollar. The Banner of Truth for instance, had to fill a gap these now mega conglomerates would not contemplate. The comments of the publishers only serve to market a product which will produce profits. Theirs is not a ministry. John MacArthur is now entrenched in that mindset.
John MacArthur is only a faithful servant if he remains faithful to the Truth. To claim that all translations are slightly imperfect overlooks the reality that, unless he can claim direct revelation, his study notes must be more than slightly imperfect. This would make the combination as published terribly hazardous to readers and may induce an idolatrous status for John MacArthur and his insights. We must have a faithful translation, not John MacArthur. We must have a work of the Holy Spirit, not the adulation of John MacArthur and his efforts. Like all the great men of God he only remains great as he honours God and His Word in word and deed. John MacArthur has betrayed the trust by allowing greater honour and effect to his flawed study notes and the machinations of publishers. John MacArthur's status is only due to a gift given by God and the indolence and stupidity of a large part of the flock! Only as he rightly divides the Word we may and perhaps should thank God for John Macarthur's ministry. If the Word cannot be relied on what is John MacArthur rightly dividing? Suggest that if his notes are that great, perhaps a accurate translation based on them would bring greater honour. If the Word of God is slightly imperfect - just fix the slight imperfections and forget the study notes. To espouse the new combination is a grievous error.
Tim, I'm reminded of a certain product of Master's Seminary, and I conclude that casting too wide a net results in one losing track of the details. Whatever the motive, fidelity escapes.
Even if a contract has been signed, the author can decide not to write the book if he returns the "advance" on royalties. He is legally bound, but publishers customarily do not require any more than a return of the advance. With a big-budget book like this, the publisher might not be so forgiving, but the author can still breach the contract if he pays the publisher damages to compensate for lost profits. That would be worth it in this case (especially if pastor MacArthur really doesn't care in the slightest about money).
Tim, as I understand it Dr. MacArthur's notes would not change in this edition and I wonder how the notes will help challenge the textual corruption if they do not address the issue in his already existing notes. Can you look at the existing notes for some of the passages you have pointed to in earlier posts and see how he deals with those texts? Would his notes address the malformation of the TNIV?
Thanks and God bless,

Dear Al,
Time constraints won't allow me to do this. Sorry. Maybe someone else can check on it.
I've just given a cursory glance to some of the verses in the previous post in relation to the notes in the MSB NKJV and have a feeling that Zondervan didn't have any problems accepting them "as is" to go alongside their new translation.
As time permits I will post some of the individual notes alongside the verses.
Might I suggest that you compile a few and then send them to Tim so that he could post them in a new post. Perhaps we can get verification on whether or not the notes will go "as is" into the new translation.

We sent a letter to John last year in regards to his NIV references in his books that he has written, listing our concerns and asking him why? Why use the NIV?(As well has other preachers and people of influence among the church) He did not reply! neither did 99% of the other's. The one that did reply, through his staff stated " X does not think the the KJ is any more anointed, than any other translation..." WHAT? I pray for John, and hope the Lord opens his eyes, but I "will not listen to John's words, again" he has been deceived if he considers that his words are greater than our Lords...The evidence of the corruption of these translations, as overwhelming. There is nothing, that justifies putting ones name or endorsement to it... Please repent John, and stand away from this position...
I wrote a letter to John MacArthur in Dec. of 2011 in regards to my concerns over this translation. My letter was based on months of research and not just sent on a whim. I have read most of MacArthurs books and found much good information in them (although I found him to be too wordy in many) I mainly wanted to know why so many noted christian authors quoted the NIV when its content was lacking to say the least. I didn't understand how any true believer could edify this translation, I sincerely wanted to know the answer to my questions. John MacArthur never took time to respond to my plea and now I understand why I was ignored.
I think you are making a big mistake in doing this NIV study bible John MacArthur. It will be interesting to know how you explain Isaiah 14:12 How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! And 2 Peter1:19 And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. Rev 2:28 I will also give him the morning star.Rev 22:16 "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star." Quoted from the NIV: in your notes. Just exactly which morning star is to rise in our hearts? The one from Isaiah who laid low the nations and was cast down to earth? (My Bible Uses Lucifer in this verse) Or the one in Revelation? Jesus! How can the morning star be Lucifer and Jesus?
Perhaps you will do well to add study notes to another popular Bible Zondervan/Harper Collins publishes and owns the copyright to The Satanic Bible.
No one can serve two masters John MacArthur I am praying that you see the light and change your mind about doing this. If not I have to question which master you have chosen to serve?
I won't be expecting a response to this comment, I am no longer a voice in the wilderness seeking your wisdom, I no longer believe you have any scholarly advice worth listening to. It's so sad...I thought you were a Truth Warrior! You will be in my prayers.
A concerned believer...God Bless
Since this post continues to be read (including just now), it's worth noting that John's response to this appeal was his right hand man, Phil Johnson, removing Baylyblog from Pyromaniacs' links. Very clear response and very sad.
Having reviewed the Pyro lads blog roll there isn't one left on there that I read with any regularity. Doug Wilson comes the closest but I don't read him all that much these days either. But my wife reads Nancy's blog regularly, that comes close.

Ramona Scaggs has found a way to soothe her loss.
Her husband of 53 years, Bill Scaggs, died in 2011 after a 15-year battle with cancer that took a toll on her, too.
"We dealt with it through our sense of humor," she said of her ability to cope with dressing bandages on nine external cancerous lesions on his upper arm. "I learned to cauderize his wounds," the former Kindermusik teacher said, noting she dressed the wounds and cut bandages to fit each spot.
While she coped with reality, she also used escapism.
"I managed to put myself in another world and do a lot of pretending and fantasizing," she said.
Scaggs was well known in many arenas: The Boyd County native served in the U.S. Marines in the 1950s. He was supervisor of communications and government relations at the Armco Steel Co.'s Ashland Works, retiring after 28 years with the company. He was a member of the National Rifle Association, having been named to the NRA Legion of Honor by Charlton Heston. Scaggs also was a supporter of many causes, including Salvation Army, American Heart Association, Boyd County Public Library, Junior Achievement, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Cerebral Palsy School, Boyd-Greenup Chamber of Commerce, FIVCO Economic Development Board and the Boy Scouts.
Scaggs was so devoted to supporting the Boyd County school system that the school system's newletter published an extensive tribute to him at the urging of retired superintendent Howard K. Osborne and retired director of personnel Mickey Rice.
He was involved with various wildlife and sportsmen organizations and was named Sportsman of the Year by the League of Kentucky Sportsmen, of which he was a lifelong member.
In the wake of Mr. Scaggs' death, Mrs. Scaggs found herself sinking into a deep depression.
"I had always been a ball of fire but now, I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to lay in bed," she said. "I had a breakdown. I loved him and I didn't want him to die."
Eventually, she said she knew she had to start her life again, but she was at a loss about what to do, until she discovered the comfort that decorating rooms could give her.
She doesn't follow just any theme; she decorates rooms of her house in themes and memorabilia that reminds her of her husband.
The family room includes photographs of the children and other family members, but the overall theme is patriotic with an emphasis on the U.S. Marines.
Much of the furniture is red, white and/or blue. Blades on the ceiling fan have a flag design and dog tags are the pulls. The flag presented to Scaggs when she lost her husband is in a display case and his dress hat and gloves rest of a red table alongside a Marine Bible.
She said she bought various pieces in different local stores, but much of the collection comes from online shopping, as her own health problems limit her ability to travel and shop. Some items in her collection have been gifts.
Scaggs' decoration therapy continues in the basement, where her late husband made his "man cave."
There, decorations run toward his hobbies, which included hunting and fishing. There is a camo bedspread, a built-in bookshelf of his books and hunting- and fishing-related items accenting every corner.
Still, his military services shows itself, too, in three uniforms that hang on the front of the closet door.
The project, which has taken her two years, has paid off by giving her much needed comfort.
"When I walk through that ruoom and see all that, I feel more at ease, at peace." she said. "Down in his mancave, I love to go down there and sit and look around. Also, staying busy hasn't hurt anything."

Height: 6'1" Weight: 246 Age: 23 Experience: 2nd season College: Florida Drafted: n/a
Posted: 8/20/2013 2:02pm et
Chicago Bears LB Jonathan Bostic has started two preseason games at middle linebacker while LB D.J. Williams (calf) is sidelined, and Bostic's chance of starting get better each day Williams remains on the shelf.
Huddle Up: Bostic, the team's 2nd-round pick out of Florida, only has 4 total tackles in the 2 games, but he made the highlight shows with his 51-yard interception return for a TD in the preseason opener against the Panthers. With Williams still out, Bostic likely will need a bang-up outing in the all-important third preseason contest to stake a strong claim to the starting job.

Anyways, best of luck to Mao. She has strongly indicated that this may be her last Olympics, so I hope that she comes out strong and skates to her best potential.
She is such a wonderful person with a great attitude. I hope she can win a medal of some color in her last Olympics.
She is also an underrated and very talented skater.
I really hope the final decision is left up to her. She's been through enough already; no need to force her into competing when her heart isn't in it.
I hope she wins gold. I love Yuna but Mao seems like such a lovely person. I hope she can go out on a high note.
Good for her!

In April 27th, the Yokohama Public Performance of the ice show "Prince Ice World 2013" started in Shinn-Yokohama Skating Center and Mao Asada (Chukyo University) charmed the audience with splendid performance.
It was her first participation to the show after she expressed about the possibility of retirement in the end of next season. Dancing gracefully to piano music of Chopin, she received with smiling face the bouquets from the audience.
Being Advised from Shizuka Arakawa of her costar, saying, "The process aiming at the Olympics is important", she made fresh resolve to next season, saying "I would like to do my best so as to be able to compete in my own pace".

April 27th, 2013 JST
In April 27th, Mao Asada (Chukyo University) participated to the ice show "Prince Ice World 2013" as a guest.
In this day, she showed the exhibition program "Ballade" which she skated 2 years before.
There was the scene, too, which she stuck out the tip of her tongue because the double Axel became the single Axel, but she brought down the house with finishing to skate splendidly.
First, she planned to skate to the exhibition program "Merry Poppins" of this season, but she changed it to "Ballade" because she was pointed out from Takahiko Kozuka, saying "Do you perform the same program once again?"
Looking back to the performance, Mao said with satisfaction, "Although the shoes was brown before, I feel that all body was coordinated better than before because the shoes is white today".
(I think that it is perhaps because the exhibitions by the same music, such as GP Final, Japan National, 4Continents, Worlds, WTT etc, continued in the short term in this season.)

Mao's performance which fascinated the audience.
It is the choreography for her final dream stage. While Mao Asada who has expressed the intention of retirement from the eligible after the end of next season makes the programs of the short program and the free skating for 2014 Sochi Olympics, we found that her burden for traveling decreased more drastically than heretofore in April 27th.
Asada has already requested the choreography of next season, to Lori Nichol of Canadian residence as for SP and to Tatiana Tarasova of Russia as for FS. Both choreographers have taken charge of the choreography since 2010/20141 season, but so far, Asada used to go to the one country of Russia or Canada, to return home to Japan once and then to go to another country.
As for this year, she moves to the US after having finished the choreography of SP in Canada in the beginning of May. She learns the choreography of the FS from Tarasova who is staying in the US for the coaching of the other skaters. The person concerned explained that, saying, "The effect of decreasing the burden on traveling is large".
In this day, Asada participated to the ice show "Prince Ice World 2013" which was held in Shinn-Yokohama Skating Center. She performed gracefully not to the exhibition program "Merry Poppins" in this season, but to "Ballade No.1" by Chopin which she had used before two seasons.
She said, "This season becomes very important season for me." Suppressing the energy loss, she is walking to the compilation of her skating life.

The Valdosta Daily Times
During the Mailbox Club's Harvest Dreams fundraising dinner, John Mark Eager shared the letter Tuesday night that keeps him involved in the Christian organization founded by his parents.
Written by a 14-year-old girl from Liberia, the letter notes her parents are poor; the girl shared how she had to sell her body to feed herself and her family. She wrote Eager that his and his family's Mailbox Club saved not only her life but redeemed her soul.
"I no longer sell my body," she wrote. "… I know I'm going to heaven when I die."
In the dinner's keynote address, nationally syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor Cal Thomas referred to this 14-year-old Liberian girl's letter and a series of videotaped experiences of children from around the world as exemplifying the power of the Mailbox Club and the international work it accomplishes from its Valdosta-based hub.
"You heard those testimonials," Thomas told the audience of about 600 South Georgians. "Do you think anything that comes out of the election next week will match what we have seen tonight? It won't."
Founded in 1965 by George and Laura Eager of Valdosta, the Mailbox Club grew from a regional presenter of children's biblical literature to an international distributor of Christian teachings. It rose from reaching approximately 200,000 mostly American children in 2000 to reaching more than 2 million children in more than 80 nations this year.
The Harvest Dreams dinner served as a forum to raise awareness of the Mailbox Club's many programs overseas and in North America as well as a fundraiser to ensure the organization's mission continues.
Cal Thomas was the featured attraction. Not only did he give a ringing endorsement for the Mailbox Club's work, going so far as to instruct participants on how to fill out a donation card at evening's end, Thomas gave a fiery speech that rang like a brimstone sermon, leaning heavily on issues of faith, often with touches of humor, while only skirting the political.
Without saying which candidate he backs, though anyone who reads his twice-weekly column on the Opinion page of The Valdosta Daily Times or the hundreds of other papers carrying his words know which candidate he supports, Thomas reminded the audience of King David's biblical admonition warning against placing too much faith in kings and princes.
No matter which candidate you support, he warned the audience, or which candidate you oppose, "if you truly think electing a politician is going to deal with the real problems facing this country," you are mistaken. "Our primary problems are not the economy and politics. The primary problems facing the nation are moral and spiritual, and no politician can reach into the hearts of this country and change that."
He reminded the audience of Ecclesiastes, that there is nothing new under the sun. There are no new ideas, Thomas said. Everything that can be done has been done; however, this does not mean that people should live in the past but they can learn from the past.
Thomas said he would vote for his preferred candidate but will pray for whichever man wins the election. He reminded the audience that no matter which candidate wins the presidency, "everything is right on schedule. God is still in control."
Yet, he gave a fiery denunciation of abortion, comparing it to the sacrifices of children to pagan gods in ancient times. He denounced "abominations … parading things in public as being normal," things which would have never been mentioned, let alone flaunted, in the time of past generations.
"We sing 'God Bless, America,' but I wonder, why should He?" Thomas asked. "… The way back to God is not through Washington, D.C., or through the next election, but rather by humbling ourselves before the offended power of God."
Thomas discussed the devotion of discipleship. He spoke of personally eschewing labels. He spoke of not advocating religion but advocating Jesus Christ. He warned against pulling Jesus into politics or other contemporary issues.
Jesus plus the GOP. Jesus plus the Democrats. Jesus plus the environment. "The more you add to Jesus, the less you have of Him," Thomas said.
Jesus was sent to save mankind from its sins. Each person is born with sin. Jesus carries that sin for us, if we let Him. He died so mankind's sins would be forgiven, Thomas said.
"God sent the one person who could pay that debt of sin," he said. "Sin is in my nature. It was something I was born with … handed down since Adam and Eve."
And Jesus was resurrected. "He did something no one else could do. He came back to life of His own power after three days," Thomas said. "Try that one, Mohammad. Try that one, Buddha."
In the end, Thomas brought the message back to the power of the Mailbox Club, a group which he said he knew nothing about until being booked several weeks ago to speak at the Harvest Dreams dinner. A group working in near-anonymous obscurity while changing millions of children's lives around the world.
He mentioned radical Islam teaching children to hate Americans and infidels. He said the Mailbox Club is a Christian counterweight of love in a turbulent world.
"This," Cal Thomas said of the Mailbox Club, "is the real power of God."

We are 6! Kirstin Renee, Lois Michelle (me), Keith Aaron, Danielle Irene (usually Dani), Kurt Michael, Stefanie Anne (usually Steffi). We were born mid-80s to early 90s.
Kirstin was a German cousin (but picked more for the name than the connection, I think!); Lois is my paternal aunt whose bday is the day before my and was/is, I think, my Dad's favorite sister; Danielle Irene is my parent's tribute to each other as they are Daniel and Irene (!); Stefanie, Steffi, and Kurt are spelled the German way as both sides are German.. All the rest of the names were just random names liked for the sound, I think.
Personally, I think my parents did okay with their big task of naming 6 kids! None of us hates our name, we all still go by them. The 3 Ks get a little confusing sometimes, especially the 2 boys being so similar, Keith and Kurt. (My mom would slip up and say weird combos like "kurth!") But, generally, I think they all don't majorly clash and yet aren't matchy matchy.
They're all fairly familiar names but none super trendy for the time, in the Amanda, Brittany, Ashley, Micheal, Joshua vein.
One low point is that many of us have 2-2-2 syllables with our last name. (Though I got out of that with my married name.)
Personally, Danielle Irene is my fav, as I like the gender-switch name tribute more than if we had a brother Daniel, and I just love Irene as a middle...we will likely use it as the middle for our first girl, too.

I'm Jessie May and I have seven younger siblings: two full sisters, three step-sisters, one step-brother and a half-brother. In order of age their names are Tallulah Rose "Lulu" (18), Ruby Queen (17), Olive Frances (14), Scarlett Grace (13), Sylvan Kel (11), Imogen Plum "Imoo" (9) and Aloysius Edward "Wishy" (14 months).
Lulu was originally named Tully (as was I!) but my parents switched to Tallulah a couple of weeks in (not too sure why). As far as I know, none of our names are in honour of anyone but were chosen simply because they were loved by both parents. Actually, I take that back, Wish's middle name is in remembrance of my stepmum's father, and Sylvan's middle name was I think chosen because he was born by a river (one of the meanings for Kel is "river man").
I always love to question my parents and step-parents what our names would've been if we had've been the opposite sex or just didn't suit our name.
If I was a boy I would've been Callahan (or possibly Griffin or Jesse, and Indiana was a strong contender for a girls' name). My mum says she can't remember what Lulu would've been if she was a boy, but as I was a girl I'm guessing they would've then used Callahan on her. Scarlett was definitely going to be Jethro if she was a boy. My stepmum tells me Ruby would've been Boris, Olive would've been Basil, and Imoo would've been Banjo, ha! Not sure about Sylvan, but if Wish had've been born a girl he would be Luna Phoenix (swoon!). Other names on the list for him were Shepard, Juniper Blossom, Sunshine, Romeo, Clementine, Pepper, Rufus, BamBam (seriously)... but I think they picked the right one in the end

Louis Christopher "Louie"- full and only brother
Alyssa Danielle -me!
Joanna Marie- full sister
Macayla Morgan -half sister
that's our order, ranging from 35-ish to 14. I think my step-sister was supposed to be Oscar, after her father and grandfather, or maybe Dennis. I wish I could remember...her father was just talking about what she would've been a while ago! Anyhow, her mom changed the birth certificate to Jayne. Mandi, I think my mom just liked it.. Louie is a junior. I was after Alyssa Milano. Joanna, my mom heard it on another girl and used it. Macayla my mom liked and spelled it so that her father could remember how to pronounce it. Middles names are pretty much filler names in our family. There's a bunch of Nicole's and Marie's. That's pretty much the short version of our names! I like all of my siblings names together, well except my step-sister, who is so much older and estranged from the family we don't see her at all. I love how us girls' names have an A at the end, and Mandi and Louie sound cute together as well!Currently liking:
Girls: Lydia Jeanette, Leah Christine, Aria Quinn, Anna Ruby
Boys: Asa Vincent, Peter Eliot, Anthony Nicholas, Paul Gregory, Luke Mackenize
Thinking about:
Viva Lux, Luca Daniel, Lorenzo "Enzo", Adah Marie

I am Sh@wn Kr1stin and my siblings are J3sse D@niel, Just1n Thom@s and Summ3r N@omi. J3sse and I would have been given the same first name regardless of our gender, though the younger two were surprises so that was not the case for them. I was named after some Miss America person that my dad thought had the most beautiful name in the world. I always hated my name and felt really terrible for hating it...I just don't think they realized that it's usually a boys' name because the person they got it from was a girl. J3sse's middle name is after my uncle, my dad's only sibling, who died when I was three due to injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. While he was in the hospital, my Grandma prayed that if God was going to take her Daniel he needed to send her another one...and right after my uncle passed my mom found out she was pregnant. We all knew it was a boy and his name would be Daniel. My sister goes by her middle name because it's my mom's favorite girl name ever, but they gave her an S first name because the boys are both Js and I was an S. They let me choose between Sarah and Summer, and being the name-nerd that I am, I went with the less common Summer The only story I don't really know is Just1n's name! I'll have to ask mom about that.Zion Nathaniel ~ Solomon Fable ~ Balthazar Wolf ~ Malachi Sparrow nn Kai ~ Tobias Rowan ~ Endymion _____ nn Ender ~ Caspian _____
Alice Willow ~ Ophelia Wren ~ Lucia Pearl ~ Eve Wisteria nn Evie ~ Cosima Rose ~ River _____

Pop songstress Rihanna told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show that she is officially dating Los Angeles Dodger Matt Kemp. "He's my boyfriend!" she said. "It's new and it's fun. It's nothing too serious, I don't want anything that's going to take up so much of my energy and time right now in a bad way. I just want to have fun, that's what it's about."
Rihanna is singing the praises of boyfriend and baseball pro Matt Kemp, whom she credits for keeping her grounded after her tumultuous split from Chris Brown last year.
"I feel really comfortable, and it's so easy," the "Rockstar 101" singer says about the time she spends with the Dodgers' star outfielder in the forthcoming issue of Elle. "I have such a chaotic life, but at the end of the day, that is just my peace. It keeps me sane, really, talking to him and talking to my family."
