Final Hellbound Volume Debuts at MICE 2014
September 22, 2014 by Colin Solan
Filed under Comic Books, Comic Strips, Convention News, Horror, Massachusetts, Other, Webcomics
The Boston Comics Roundtable, in conjunction with River Bird Comics, is pleased to announce the publication of Hellbound V: End of Comics. Aptly themed, this will be the final installment in a series of original horror comics anthologies from some of Boston's most celebrated creators. No fear or phobia will be left unprovoked.
Debuting on October 4th at the fifth annual Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo (MICE), Hellbound V will also be available at select local comics shops and conventions. This limited edition, 9 by 5 inch, two-tone Risograph printed run, geared toward "Mature Readers", will feature seven stories and two fold-out pages, boasting a roster of familiar names and new contributors, alike.
Hellbound series creator Roho will resume his role as designer and publisher. Stephen Cartisano, who has had a hand in every Hellbound release since the New England Art Award nominated Volume II: Box of Evil, returns as Editor. Returning contributors include Dan Mazur (Comics: A Global History), Ellen T. Crenshaw (Nobodies Volume II, Womanthology), Alison Burke and Tara Harris (A.R.R.O.), Patrick Flaherty, E.J. Barnes (Tales of the Ling, An Invitation to the World of Luisa Felix), and Clayton McCormack (Dead Meat, Heavy Metal Magazine). Joining them for the first time on this volume are Gary Bonesteel (Killer Ink Comics), Ben Doane (Subcultures), and Brenton Barnes (Bartkira, Mister Reusch's Black and White Illustration Book).
The Hellbound series has received much critical acclaim, having grown "increasingly stylish in presentation," according to Rob Clough of High-Low. Katy England, of The Maine Edge, deemed Volume IV: GULP! to be "well worth adding to any collection," while Brigid Alverson of Robot 6 marveled at the "impressive craftsmanship" contained within its pages.
Featuring illustrations by Dan Moynihan (Nickelodeon Magazine, Heeby Jeeby Comix), and up and comer Jerel Dye (Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream, Pigs Might Fly), Hellbound V: End of Comics promises to end the series with a bang… and perhaps some whimpering, too.

With the help of parents like you, we are campaigning to improve the food and service offered to children and families when they eat out - get involved!
Eating out should be a real treat for children, but at the moment the food and service pubs and restaurants offer isn't making the grade. We surveyed 21 of the most popular high street restaurants and pubs and found none of them are providing the standard we should expect:
We want every restaurant, café and pub who serves food to children to:
Offer all children the choice of a child's portion of adult meals
Serve freshly prepared food, not ready meals
Offer free water to all families on arrival
Offer children's cutlery as standard
Make breastfeeding mums feel welcome
To see change, we need to let restaurants know that the food and service they offer to children is not good enough. There are three easy actions you can take:
We are meeting with top chain restaurants to put pressure on them to improve and let them know your opinions. Let us and other parents know what you think of children's food in restaurants and share your photos of children's menus and meals using the hashtag #OutToLunchUK.
Tell your friends, family and colleagues about the campaign to help raise awareness.
How is your favourite restaurant doing? Find out in our league table.

Comments about Slime Comp 02 Tire Inflator:
It inflates bike tires very quickly.
I also find it very convenient for keeping my car tires at the recommended pressure. It is not as fast as at a gas station, but with the money saved it pays for itself over time.
Built in pressure gauge is a big plus and the schrader valve attachment makes for quick and easy attachment and removal to valve stem.
Highly recommended.

August 25, 2014
By Stephen Moore
First, an apology. In a July 2 article on this page, I erred in citing Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers comparing the superior job-creation performance of no-income-tax Texas and Florida to the states with the highest income-tax rates, California and New York.
My errors set off a brouhaha in the media — though the errors in no way change the conclusion that low-tax states have grown much faster than high-tax states.
I wrote that Texas had gained one million jobs in the last five years, while California lost jobs. That was correct from the start of the recession in 2008 through the end of 2013. The BLS household survey on employment finds that over this period, Texas gained 1.08 million jobs and California lost 5,000.
The New York Times and others have criticized me for not including the numbers through the first half of 2014, which show that California has made a rapid turnaround and gained jobs.
As for Florida, I wrote that it gained hundreds of thousands of jobs, while New York lost jobs. New York did indeed lose 221,000 jobs over this period. But Florida created only 29,000.
Times columnist Paul Krugman seized on these revised numbers to argue that taxes don't matter much when it comes to economic growth. He examined the BLS job growth from December 2007 through June 2014 and found: "Texas is, not surprisingly, the best performer. New York comes in second, followed by California, with Florida in last place. Not much of a clear ideological message."
Yet even over the timeline that Krugman chose, Texas and Florida combined had net job growth of 4.8%, which exceeded by a healthy margin that of California's and New York's 1.3% — hardly a persuasive counterargument that tax rates don't matter.
Krugman concluded: "Real empirical work on state growth shows multiple factors — mildness of climate, cheap housing, high wages and, yes, some impact from tax rates. The idea that you would find an overwhelming one-factor correlation with taxes alone is something only a, well, Heritage Foundation analyst could believe."
This is like arguing that cancer doesn't kill you because many people die from heart disease and stroke.
It's always best to examine trends over long periods. This helps smooth out statistical noise and extraneous short-term factors such as real estate bubbles, oil booms and stock-market bull and bear markets that can distort the picture and cause some states to accelerate and others to swoon.
So I went back to 1990 to examine the longer-term picture of these four states through June 2014. Remember, Texas and Florida have no income tax, and New York (counting New York City's income tax) and California over this period had nearly the highest rates (maxing out at about 13%).
The results: Texas, up 65%; Florida, 46%; national average, 27%; California, 24%; New York, 9%.
For every net new job in California, Texas gained more than two. (Weather doesn't explain that, nor does the oil-price spike, because California is also one of the largest oil- and gas-producing states.) For every new job in New York, Florida gained five. Florida had almost double California's job growth.
Arthur Laffer and I have examined the data back to 1970. No matter what 10-, 20- or 30-year period we reviewed, we found that the nine states with no income tax — Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming — outperform the nine highest income-tax states, including California, Hawaii, New Jersey and New York.
Job growth in no-income-tax states is typically double and sometimes triple the pace of the states with the highest taxes on work and small businesses.
Yes, there are always outliers — a few states with high income taxes that perform well. California's Silicon Valley is surging now, while some low-tax states (Alaska of late) are doing poorly. Clearly many other factors are at play.
But taxes are indisputably a major factor in determining where businesses and capital and families locate. Consider the evidence from states that have adopted an income tax in the last 50 years. Since 1960, they've numbered 11, including Illinois, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Every one of them has experienced slower growth than the rest of the country after adopting the income tax, and each lost income and population relative to the national average. Does anyone really believe that happened by chance?
Why are income taxes so harmful? Because they are direct taxes on work, saving, investing and business creation. They are taxes on virtue rather than vice. We tax cigarettes because we want people to stop smoking. So why do we tax work?
It's curious how the left continues to deny this clear linkage between income taxes and job creation. After all, we've had a painful firsthand lesson on the impact of taxes on business location at the national level.
Businesses are leaving the United States to lower their tax burden. The U.S. charges as much as 40% (including state taxes), while the rest of the world averages closer to 25%. President Obama and congressional Democrats are so panicked by this exodus that they want to make it illegal for companies to merge with certain foreign companies and leave.
If we can all agree that corporations are moving across international borders to lower their taxes, why is it so hard to believe that families and businesses will move from one state to another to lower theirs?

Hi, I purchased Peter Harrison's wonderful book Linux Home Networking II to get my personal Web site on my Linux box working. First, some background and I'll try to make it brief: my computer running Red Hat Linux 9 with Apache 2.0 is one of a bunch of computers that are behind a firewalled Linksys router connected to a cable modem. My cable ISP gives me a static IP address as the outside address for my whole network, and I have purchased a fully-qualified domain name from another company that I have linked to my IP address. I also use port forwarding to direct any requests to my Web server to port 80 on my Linux computer.
My Web pages are located in my Linux machine's /var/www/html directory, and after setting everything up following the instructions in Peter's book I have had no trouble in accessing my main site from outside the network. Specifically, my domain name is McCorduck.ws and pointing a browser to http://McCorduck.ws always brings up the index.html file in the above directory. (I thought I also set it up so that my site ought to accept inquiries to http://www.McCorduck.ws; that doesn't work yet, but that's not something I'm too worried about now.) This index.html file redirects to another page which has sound and graphics, and again there are never any problems calling up this page or any of its elements.
Under the /var/www/html directory I have a subdirectory named "football" with its own index.html file, intending this to be something like a separate site. When I try to access this "site," however (specifically, when I point a browser to http://McCorduck.ws/football), I can never connect. If I give the address as http://McCorduck.ws/football/index.html or if try to access any of the other pages of this site, though, it does work.
Interestingly, on the page that my main index.html pages redirects to, I have a link to this other "site" which I give as "http://McCorduck.ws/football". But when I click on it, I get a "cannot find server" error message, or, tellingly, if I'm using the Opera browser I get an error window reading "Could not locate remote server" and titled "http://localhost.localdomain/football/". Now my Linux machine originally had the default hostname "localhost" and domain name "localdomain," but I had since changed them using the "localhost -v" and "domainname -v" commands and put the new names in my zone files as directed in the Home Networking book. Also interestingly, though, when my Linux computer goes through its initial bootup process, I see it still gives the name and domain of the computer as "localhost.localdomain" but when it gets to the Red Hat login screen, it always says "Welcome to edsgate.mccorduck.ws", i.e. with the name of both the computer (edsgate) and my domain (mccorduck.ws) that I had changed it to.
In trying to resolve this problem, I came upon the section "File Permissions and Apache" on p. 97 of Linux Home Networking II. It seemed to be addressing my problem, so I tried the script on p. 158 that Peter refers to. I wasn't sure where to save the script, but from the indications I put it in the /tmp directory. When I ran it, however, I got the error message "bash: ./fix-www-perms.sh: Permission denied". I created the file as root and I got this message both when I tried to run it as root and also as my regular user name, my reasoning being that some of the Web pages I have in /var/www/html were created by this user (indeed, I'm not sure, but I may have originally created the whole "football" directory as this user, but I've since changed its ownership back to root). I also tried substituting what look to me like grave accents around "find $1" in the first line of the script with single quotation marks, but that made no difference.
Any help or advice for this problem would be appreciated. Peter, especially, if you monitor these forums, please let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.

Homegrown beetroot and chard (or leaf beet) seeds are simply delicious and easy to grow. They can generally be sown from March to July/August and will give you a good crop of vegetables to keep your salads bright and fresh.
Beetroot 'Boltardy' (Globe)
Beta vulgaris
Beetroot 'Rainbow Beet' (Globe)
Beta vulgaris
A visually stunning mixture of five beetroot varieties with superb contrasting outer skins, flesh, stems and leaves! Each variety has a deliciously sweet flavour and they can be enjoyed as mature roots or as tasty 'baby beets'. Delicious whether they are eaten hot or cold, cooked or pickled, Beetroot 'Rainbow Beet' can even be sliced raw into salads for a colourful crunch. Try steaming the tender stems and leaves as an alternative to spinach or chard. Height: 30cm (12in). Spread: 15cm (6in).
Beetroot 'Burpee's Golden' (Globe)
Beta vulgarisIntroduced in the 1940's, Beetroot 'Burpee's Golden' produces attractive orange roots with a delightful, succulent flavour that makes it a superb for serving as a hot vegetable. Try harvesting the tops for steaming and eating like spinach while the roots are between the size of a golf ball and a tennis ball. Beetroot 'Burpee's Golden' is best sown thicker than normal varieties as it has an inherent lower germination trait. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 15cm (6"). More info
Beetroot 'Boldor'
Beta vulgaris var. conditivaAttractive copper skinned, globe shaped roots with beautiful orange coloured flesh that remains just as bright after cooking. Beetroot ÔBoldor' has a delicious sweet flavour and adds colour to meals whether, boiled or pickled. The young leaves can be eaten too, either raw, steamed or stir fried. This improved golden beet has superior seedling emergence, strong vigour and excellent uniformity. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 15cm (6"). More info
Beetroot 'Chioggia' (Globe)
Beta vulgarisA striking globe variety with orange-pink skins and an appealing 'bullseye' formation of red and white rings on the inside, fading to soft pink when cooked. Beetroot 'Chioggia' is sweet, tender and succulent with lustrous dark green leaves and ruby-red stems. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 15cm (6"). More info
Swiss Chard 'Five Colour Silverbeet' - Heritage
Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla var. flavescens, Leaf Beet, Spinach BeetCustomer Rating
A rainbow mix of vibrant stem and leaf colours maintained as an Australian heirloom variety. Swiss Chard 'Five Colour Silverbeet' makes an excellent value crop. The juicy, mild flavoured broad stems and the tasty leaves can both be eaten as steamed vegetables, or harvested as baby leaves for adding to salads. This decorative Swiss Chard makes an attractive addition to the vegetable plot or even the flower bed. Height: 45cm (18"). Spread: 40cm (16").More info
Swiss Chard 'Lucullus'
Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla var. flavescens, Leaf Beet, Spinach BeetSwiss Chard 'Lucullus' is a particularly prolific variety offering fantastic value. This RHS AGM variety produces an abundance of wide, white stems which are deliciously succulent when cooked like asparagus, and served with butter. The large, tasty leaves make a flavoursome alternative to spinach, and if left to flower, the flower stalks can also be cooked and eaten like sprouting broccoli. Initially cropping from mid-summer to late autumn, this tasty leaf beet will re-emerge after a normal winter, to produce an unbelievably early spring crop. Height: 50cm (20"). Spread: 40cm (16"). More info
Beetroot 'Pablo' F1 Hybrid
Beta vulgarisMore info
Beetroot 'Rubidus' (Globe)
Beta vulgaris, Beetroot 'Detroit 6 Rubidus'Bolting is almost a thing of the past with this excellent globe variety! Beetroot 'Rubidus' will be ready to harvest over a week earlier than 'Boltardy', which it supersedes in all respects. The firm, smooth, deep red roots can reach 12.5cm (5") in diameter, but retain their superb tender flesh without a hint of fibre. This vigorous beetroot holds an RHS AGM, and produces high yields which are synonymous with F1 Hybrids. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 15cm (6"). More info
Beetroot 'Wodan' F1 Hybrid (Globe)
Beta vulgaris
Beetroot 'Red Ace' F1 Hybrid (Globe)
Beta vulgarisThis main crop variety produces round to oval, high quality roots with a dark red colour. The hybrid vigour of Beetroot 'Red Ace' makes it a very strong grower which will do well in most sites and soils, and is particularly good in dry seasons. This RHS AGM variety makes a superb choice for exhibition. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 15cm (6"). More info

Re: sis gels
I dunno if my opinion counts cuz i've never tried one before (store bought anyway).
My only advice is to give one a try in the days BEFORE your fight. You never know how you'll react to something. I hear mixed reviews (yes, I've started a thread on the same topic a few months ago - you might find it if you search for key words "energy gels"). the last thing you want to do is find out ON FIGHT day, that you react negatively to it.
Some people react well, and some people get no benefit. A small handful even report increased heart rate/anxiety which affect them negatively.
People with very sensitive stomachs might even get indigestion.
In all likelihood, bad reactions are rare - but still, common sense says don't try anything new/untested on fight day.
If it doesn't irritate you - why not? If it works....great - if it's merely a placebo effect - that also can't be a bad thing. Like you said, every little bit counts.
Best of luck in your fight - have fun and keep us posted on the outcome!

"I just want my mum and dads belongings back"
A Sussex man who ran 13 marathons in 13 days in memory of his parents, has been left shattered after thieves broke into his house and stole jewellery belonging to them.
Martin Denholm from Worthing returned home to find the precious items had been taken.

VIDEO: Keep on running, 14 time marathon man
In a little over a month thousands of people will run the 26 miles of the London Marathon. Some will be professional runners, some will run in costume and one man from Kent, who turns 50 this year, will be taking part in the race for the 14th time.
Sarah Saunders went to meet the marathon man, Ray Johnson from Folkestone.
Basingstoke Half in top ten races
In Hampshire today it was time for one of the biggest marathons in the region. The Basingstoke Half has been ranked in the top ten. Richard Slee reports
Runners tackle hilly course
Almost 200 runners lined up to take part in the Isle of Wight marathon. The road race is one of the toughest of its kind because of the hilly terrain. The course took runners around the west of the island for the first time in the race's history.
Pounding the pavement for charity
More than 600 competitors lined up for the 2nd annual mini marathon in Folkestone today.
The event is just one of around a dozen road races taking place in our region each year, so why have they become so popular? Andy Dickenson meets the runners and race director Ray Johnson.
And they were off! Brighton's record breaking race

Amgen Tour of California Stage 4: Horner wins as RadioShack take top two places
39-year-old rolls back years to win from team mate Levi Leipheimer
Previous News
Next News
Chris Horner of RadioShack, a professional since 1995, yesterday took the stage win at what organisers say is the first ever true mountain summit finish in the Amgen Tour of California at Sierra Road near San Jose following a stage that included five categorised climbs.
The Canadian Ryder Hesjedal of Garmin Crevelo had led the field onto the day's final climb, but Horner and team mate Levi Leipheimer, winner of the race in 2007, 2008 and 2009, managed to bridge across before the 39-year-old made his successful bid for victory, crossing the line 1 minute 15 seconds ahead of his RadioShack colleague. Hesjedal's team mate Tom Danielson came third, a further 7 seconds back.
"Our goal today was to blow apart the field, and we did," said Horner afterwards. "The last five weeks I was on a mission to come to the Amgen Tour of California in the best fitness of my life. I've put in the best five weeks of training, and it has been a hard five weeks, but it was worth it because it was an easy five kilometers to the top of the summit."
Hesjedal said: "On today's stage, we had the guys to bring the pressure," said Hesjedal. "It was fun to see Levi (Leipheimer) and Chris (Horner) out there today. Chris just kind of rolled away and Levi sat on me. Fortunately, I was able to stay in there and bring a little bit of time back for the team. There is still a lot of racing left and putting pressure on Team RadioShack over the next few days is a big goal of ours."
At the start of the stage in Livermore, a minute's silence was held for Wouter Weylandt, whose funeral was held in Ghent, Belgium, yesterday morning. Leopard Trek, led by Andy Schleck, then came to the front of the peloton to lead out the riders for the stage.
Horner's performance sees him take over the race leader's yellow jersey from Team Sky's Greg Henderson, with Leipheimer and Danielson moving up to second and third respectively.

CARTHAGE Students participating in Carthage High Schools CASEWorks, a college and career readiness after-school program, will host representatives from Carthage Federal Savings & Loan Association and the state Small Business Development Center, from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Thursday at Carthage Central School. The presentation is open to all Carthage students who would like to learn more about the new program.
CASEWorks is made possible through the states 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant awarded to Carthage High School.
Students enrolled in the entrepreneurship elective in the program are seeking advice from the community representatives on how to develop a sound and successful business.
At the event, Thomas H. Piche, CEO and president of Carthage Federal Savings & Loan, will discuss the five Cs of credit: character, capacity, capital, collateral and conditions. Banks use the five Cs to assess the credit score of new loan applicants.
Sarah C. OConnell of the Small Business Development Center at Jefferson Community College, Watertown, will offer students insight on developing a successful business plan.
Marilyn Bish, Carthage Central School Districts director of grants and projects, said this is the first year Carthage has held CASEWorks. Ten students are participating.
The kids learn to develop their own business plan based on their interests, she said.
Mrs. Bish said the diverse programming offered by the school staff and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County provides students with exposure to career paths such as performing arts, theater and dance, community service, workforce development, entrepreneurship and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math).
Similar CASE programs are available in other Carthage Central schools.
For more information, call Mrs. Bish at 493-5123.

How to take light rail
Plan your trip
Select a station through the map above for access and parking information on individual stations.
Riding light rail
Before you board the light rail, you need to buy a ticket or pass from a VTA Light Rail ticket machine (located at every station). Light rail is a proof of payment system. Riders must have a valid or pass while onboard the light rail.
On the platform, board the train that goes to your station. The headsign on the vehicle will show the destination, not line color. The train destination is announced at stations served by two lines.
On the train, announcements will be made for the next station. Press the grey strip by the windows to request train stop. Train will skip stops if no one is waiting on the platform and no one has requested to disembark.
Bicycles can be taken aboard the light rail at all hours on all cars with no additional fare. To ride on the light rail with a bike:
- Board the train through the two center doors (with a bike decal)
- Go to the center section (joint) of the light rail car
- Lift your bike vertically into the rack
If the rack is full, bicyclists (4 maximum) can stand by the doors at the center portion of the car and hold on to their bikes.
Selected light rail stations offers bicycle racks and lockers.
Disabled access
All stations provide complete level boarding. Elevator access is available at all elevated and freeway median stations.

Who will be Looch's target Thursday?
Re: Who will be Looch's target Thursday?
posted at 4/19/2012 7:23 AM EDTIMO Looch will take on any targert available. They all have Claude's mantra of no "cheap" penalties in their heads. For those who critique Marchand, Claude was quoted as saying Marchand picked up his game. For those who critique 20 year old, first playoffs Seguin, he has landed 10 shots " ON NET" where others [Kreji] have One. Seguin's goals will come. I too, think Timmy could play better, let's hope that was his poorest game. In prior days, I've suggested that Claude should add Caron to Kreji's line for more beef and net front presence. I'll change that to Caron replacing Thornton to add skill, speed and improvement to Campbell's line. Thornton hasn't done anything wrong, he just hasn't done anything, as hard as he tries.

The word "offence" is used in the KJV of the Bible in one form or another some 73 different times. Out of those occurrences, 23 are found in the Old Testament and 50 in the New Testament. In the New
For years the town had been controlled by the criminal element. Cattle rustlers commonly preyed on unsuspecting cowboys as they worked hard to make a living. The local sheriff was in the back pocket of several known thieves and bandits.
I suppose I have to offer my apologies to my father-in-law for the title of this article. You see, this is one of those things that I learned from him several years ago. It is something on which I have
Romans 1:21 "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened." One of the hallmark traits of those who would reject God
Have you ever tried to walk in the dark? I do it frequently because of having to get up during the night. I also usually walk in the dark for a few moments after everyone has gone to bed when
The Sin of Idolatry (Part 1) When the word "idolatry" is mentioned, most religious folks probably call to mind a debunked religious system that is outdated and not generally practiced. Why ought the worshipper of God be concerned with the
Several years ago, I was having a conversation with someone about getting credit for ideas. I mentioned to them that it doesn't matter to me if I get credit for an idea or not, because God knows who did what
It's good to have friends. I'm glad I have some. Friends can be a great encouragement for good. But friends can also be a source of temptation as well. I remember in my Junior year of High School how I
A couple of weeks ago I was watching the coverage of Hurricane Katrina on the news and one of the experts, in essence, said, "Don't just jump in your car and go to help, we don't want renegade volunteers." The
We live in a society that seeks to "interpret" everything. When the President or some other important official makes a statement, news commentators are quick to point out what was said and what wasn't said. Did he mean this or
We've all heard of the famous traitor Benedict Arnold, heralded in our American history classes as one of the most infamous traitors to the United States during the revolutionary war. But did you know that Arnold was first a General
Lately I've been reading books about the Revolutionary War of the United States: a Biography of Benjamin Franklin, a book on the year 1776, and now a book entitled "George Washington's War." In this latest book, the author points out
We're all familiar with the VBS tune, "This little light of mine." We sing this song so as to let our children know that they need to be good examples and positive influences in the world around them. This song
There are at least two major religious bodies today who claim apostleship or apostolic like authority for individuals in their religion. The Mormons plainly state that they have living apostles in The Quorum of the Twelve. These, they claim, have
In the 1980s there was a series of movies called "Back to the Future" starring Michael J. Fox. In these movies, the main character, Marty McFly, had a special car that could travel into the past and future. In the
Recently many have seen in the media and other news outlets that the United Church of Christ denomination has openly endorsed homosexual marriage. There has been some confusion that the United Church of Christ is affiliated with the churches of
Recently someone asked, more or less, the following question: "How do we know that the things that were done in one church in the first century were done in the other churches as well?" That's a good question because if
That God exists (Romans 1:19-21). That the universe and everything in it is God's creation (Genesis 1-2). That the highest of God's creation is mankind (Psalm 8). That God is love and that God loves mankind (1 John 4:16,
A man was dying in the desert when he came upon a tent. Inside the tent were two people. One of those people appeared friendly, warm, and inviting. The other person appeared ugly, cold and repulsive. In front of both
With the Michael Jackson verdict looming and an eighteen year old girl lost and presumed dead in the island nation of Aruba, the country's attention has turned to crimes against children. There is, seemingly, no more horrible crime than that
Indeed! Why are you a member of any church of which you call yourself a member? We read in the scriptures, "Try your own selves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves" (2 Corinthians 13:5a). God does
In Leviticus 10:10,11 God, after the fiery death of Nadab and Abihu, teaches an important lesson to Aaron regarding coming before God. We read, "Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go
Some of you may know that the Discovery Channel is doing a series of television shows on "The Greatest American." Through some process they have selected 100 different nominees for this title and through the month of June they will
One of the arguments that is used to defend church tradition as a source of religious authority is that the Bible speaks regarding traditions that the apostles held. It is pointed out that in 2 Thessalonians 3:6 Paul demands that
On one occasion when Paul was preaching the gospel in the city of Ephesus, a certain group of vagabonds sought to emulate Paul by taking it upon themselves to cast out a demon. When these men sought to do such,
Second, the Bible makes it clear that God's revelation to man was only for the time that the church was initially being built until such a time as the complete will of God was revealed. In 1 Corinthians 13:8-10 Paul
In the past few weeks we have examined, in these bulletin studies, some religious beliefs of Catholicism. Perhaps the most fundamental difference between Catholicism and other religions claiming Christ is our attitudes toward scripture and tradition. During the protestant reformation
With all of the recent news regarding the Catholic Church many have heard stated as fact by news media and others that Peter was the first pope. This is, of course, official Catholic doctrine. But what does the Bible say
Last week I had an article in the bulletin entitled, "Why the Catholic Church Ought Not Select A New Pope." Biblical reasons were given as to why the papacy is an unscriptural arrangement in the New Testament model of organized
If you have watched the news in the past week, you've likely seen the media attention that has been given to the death of the "pope"; it's virtually inescapable. (I offer my personal condolences to our Catholic friends on their
When one reads through the Old Testament prophets one picks up on the theme that judges ought to be righteous in their judgments. Isaiah pleads with them: "Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead
Each year around this time it is popular for different social groups to host egg hunts. Someone takes the eggs and hides them in various "secret" places in a designated area and then children go out and look for the
The other day I was having a conversation with someone who was, in essence, asking for a list of things that were right and wrong for Christians to do. His contention was that since we believe that we must be
Many years ago, someone gave me this illustration of God's grace and I haven't forgotten it since. Suppose you went down to the local car dealership and walked into the front door and someone walked up to you, but instead
In order to understand what it means to be saved, we need to understand that from which we need to be saved. The Bible teaches that because all men have sinned, they have fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23).
In a recent telephone conversation, a young man asked me about the 144,000 people that will be saved. He had a few conversations with a friend who identified himself with the Jehovah's Witness religion. His friend believed that only 144,000
There is, perhaps, no more publicized miracle today than that of speaking in tongues. It is the one miracle that those who believe they can do miracles most frequently claim as having been done. In speaking with people who claim
Ok folks, clear your calendars because a very important event is coming up for which you are going to want to be prepared. I'm not talking about Easter, Labor Day, the 4th of July, Thanksgiving or even Christmas. No, it's
The past couple of weeks there has been a news story making its way through the media regarding an unemployed German woman. The woman evidently lost her job and went on government unemployment. In the course of her unemployment, job
Today is the day that has come to be known as America's unofficial holiday. Yes, that's right, it is Super Bowl Sunday. Of course, the Super Bowl is the penultimate sports experience for most people who live in the United
There is in the popular mindset today, the idea that an individual can be spiritual without being religious. I've seen this concept presented in some recently read articles. I've also heard such touted in some television programs on the subject.
Here is a question that the Bible directly answers in scripture. In James 1:5, James writes, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be
Yesterday was January 1st, 2005. The year 2004 is gone forever. Some may be wondering, "What will the new year hold for us?" Will there be weddings? (I know of one being planned.) Will there be funerals? Will there be
Author's note: I received a question on the web site not too long ago from an individual asking why we didn't have more information on the subject of sin on our web site. I was a little at a loss
This question recently came up in some of my Internet studies with online friends. The question centers on whether or not it is necessary to be identified as a member of a local congregation. The Bible doesn't have a process
Someone recently asked me this question on the Internet. The question wasn't, "how do you, Kevin, do it all?" The question was, with all of life's demands, (i.e. God, work, home, and recreation) how do you balance it all, keep
A few weeks ago I received in my e-mail inbox an article on a psychological study regarding wisdom. My first reaction to the article was, "How can you study wisdom from a psychological perspective?" So I read. The article spoke
Witches, warlocks, bards, ovates, and druids: you're probably thinking that Halloween is over for this year, so why the strange list? Well, according to Reuters news service, pagans are celebrating Samhuin, the Celtic new year, and "a time for remembering
Some of you may know that I have a jaw-breaker the size of a billiard ball in my office. The reason for my having this jaw-breaker is another story, but I was looking at it today and thought that it
One of the most surprising things (at least to the media pundits) to come out of this past Tuesday's election was that whopping twenty-five percent of the voters said that morals was the number one issue that drove them to
You might say that I enjoy a good potluck just as much as the next person. In fact, were one to take a good gander at my physique, I would dare say that the conclusion would be that I don't
As a boy growing up in north west Texas my family did what others would consider strange. At best, strange. When Momma had finished brewing coffee for her and Daddy, we kids would often take the grounds and chew them.
Let no one think this is a blanket condemnation of motorcycles. It is not. Illustrations from life and personal experiences, however, sometimes can be helpful in understanding principles. When I was seven or eight years old, my oldest sister
Not too long ago, I received a Bible riddle from an online friend. The riddle was, "What does the Bible say will never be satisfied and say 'It is enough?'" So I got to looking through the concordance, looking for
"Ane furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh," Ecc. 12:12. Here is warning from Divine wisdom. The nature of books is that they can
Last week we noted that denominationalism doesn't recognize the inherent division within its organization because it fails to acknowledge any other doctrine of the Christian faith as truly important and grounds for unity except belief in Jesus as the Christ.
Last week we noted the charge of "cult" that denominationalism levels at those who claim to be New Testament Christians today. One of the additional reasons this charge is leveled against us is that to the denominational world, it is
Last week I started an e-mail conversation with a man who was a member of the Methodist church. The conversation started because he had seen an article that I published on our web site, "Is the Church of Christ a
I got to see sin up close and personal this week. I saw its intention. I saw its form. I saw its effects. It was ugly. You may wonder what particular sin that it is I saw. And while that
This past Thursday evening, (April 1st 2004) we went to the Berryville Community Center and watched a high school choir production of Hans Christian Anderson's classic tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes." You may be familiar with the story. An emperor
We have all been to lakes and ponds to enjoy various different activities. I remember when I was a kid and my parents took me to Lake Bastrop State Park which is about 30 miles east of Austin, TX off
One of the criticisms that Jesus' enemies so often employed was that He ate with the publicans and sinners. We find this criticism recorded for us in the following passages: Matthew 9:10, 11; 11:19; Mark 2:15, 16; Luke 5:30, 7:34,
In ladies Bible class, we have been studying the epistle of First Peter. Peter writes in this epistle to those who have been scattered abroad by persecution, particularly, those who have been born again through the redemption of the blood
By now, no doubt, you have heard of the movie, "The Passion of the Christ" directed by Mel Gibson. The subject of the movie is, more or less, the last twelve hours of the life of Jesus. I saw the
The plea of churches of Christ today is to restore New Testament Christianity into the lives of as many as will receive the gospel message. It is not sufficient to merely preach the gospel, without expecting those who claim to
What does it mean to be edified? Without doing a scientific survey, my guess is that most people would say that being edified means to be encouraged, to make to feel better, or to have a more positive attitude. So,
We all know people who believe the doctrine of "Once saved, always saved." This is the idea that once a person becomes a child of God, there is no sin that they can commit to lose their salvation. Many people
We have all watched shows from time to time purporting to explain certain "mysteries" within the Bible. Usually in these programs, the writers set forth an allegedly "unexplained" phenomenon discussed in the scriptures and then seek the professional opinions of
There are many people who ask this question today. It is difficult to answer such a question in so short a space as I have in the bulletin, but I am going to try to give a few practical bits
There are those in the religious world today who ridicule the idea of keeping commandments. They claim that keeping God's commandments have nothing to do with our salvation today. If someone objects and says that we must keep God's commandments
We have all seen one version or another of the mobster shows where the "hit man" walks up to his good buddy who has had a contract put on his life and say, "Sorry, Rico. It's not personal, it's just
One might think upon seeing the title of this article that we are about to discuss something extremely positive. After all, what could be more appealing that freedom and what could be more motivating that unity? However, we have an
Having just returned from a week's vacation in which we drove approximately 1500 miles, I can attest to the fact that we would not have arrived at our intended destinations were it not for some kind of directions. Directions can
I suppose if there were ever an oxymoron to be considered, the title of this article would be within the top ten. It would be there along with apathetic concern, charitable covetousness, and slothful industriousness. We generally use oxymorons when,
Enemies come in all different shapes and sizes. There are physical enemies who seek to take our lives. There are enemies in the business world who would destroy our way of earning a living. There are enemies within families when
Our Lord was no stranger to difficult situations. The Pharisees and Sadducees would often present him with questions regarding various different aspects of the Old Law. Each time, our Lord answered with the utmost wisdom and absolute truth. Perhaps one
"But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another." (Galatians 5:15). Somewhere between A.D. 48 and A.D. 58, the apostle Paul sat down to write a letter to the churches of
As sexual sins continue to increase in our society, we need to be ready with scriptural answers as to why these activities are indeed sin. A few weeks ago we looked at the sin of fornication. The Bible clearly condemns
One of the more curious appellations that we find in the scriptures is the name that Jesus gave to the brothers James and John--Boanerges. Mark records this moniker in 3:17 "And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother
It was not too many years ago after graduating from college that I took a job working at the student health center at the University of Texas at Austin. Not too long after my employment there, I learned that there
The question of life after death is a common theme in many cultures today. It is a question that has been discussed by poets, artists, philosophers, and scientists. It is a question asked by each and every individual living upon
Today we are privileged to start a gospel meeting. Let us not take this opportunity to study God's word lightly. Let us not take this opportunity to have fellowship with one another less than seriously. Let us not take this
Perhaps some of you have heard the recent country song by Tracy Byrd titled, "The Truth About Men." The song claims to speak for all men and touts several aspects of the male gender such as eating potato chips, watching
When it comes to the question of whether baptism is prerequisite for salvation, Mark 16:15, 16 stands out as a clear beacon in contrast to the fog of the doctrines and teachings of men today. The words of Jesus as
Recently, in two completely unrelated incidents, I have heard the Bible doctrine of hell challenged. There are religions today that challenge what the Bible plainly says in regard to one of the two eternal destinations for the soul of man,
The book of James has been called the "Proverbs" of the New Testament due to the amount of practical matter that the book discusses. Among the various topics within the book, there is a discussion of heavenly wisdom. This discussion
He said, "Are you an inspired apostle?" To ask the question is to get the answer. There are no inspired apostles living today. So why was the question asked? All who find themselves on the wrong end of the sword
Of the many different characteristics of the church there is that of being the body of Christ. Perhaps this metaphor is most illustrative in one of Paul's letters to Corinth. In 1 Corinthians 12:14-16, Paul writes, "For the body is
With the passing of Thanksgiving weekend our holiday season has begun. Times of food, fun, and fellowship with friends and family await. It should be a time to exchange gifts and make long lasting and joyous memories. However for some
Every week is an adventure of the mind here in Berryville. Just when you think that you have "seen it all" something happens to make you realize that there are no bounds to which people will go in their minds
The old spiritual song "Roll Jordon, Roll" states, "I want to go to heaven when I die." This phrase epitomizes each and every Christian's longing and desire for eternal life. It was stated concerning Abraham in the book of Hebrews
Catholicism has always had a large media spotlight, but recently Catholicism has garnered more media attention that usual. This is because of the scandalous events that have surrounded the Catholic Church as of late. The media has focused the spotlight
In the last few days I have been deluged with sectarian, denominational remarks. Most of these remarks have been out of the mouths of those who should have known better. One of the most bitter, cruel, malicious and ignorant is
In 1946 a group of Christians started a church on Shaver Street in Berryville. The old Shaver Street building, though owned by others, is still standing today. These Christians brought with them the same commitments that the church sets forth
When looking at the cases of conversion within the book of Acts, the case of Cornelius and his household presents some unique challenges to understanding God's plan for man's salvation. The account of this conversion is found in Acts chapters
In our lifetime we are going to sin (1 John 1:7-10). Undoubtedly, some of those sins are going to be committed in the presence of others. There are going to be times when we either do not recognize that what
On September 6, 1863, forty-eight Confederate soldiers, commanded by Lieutenant Richard "Dick" Dowling (who was only twenty-five years old), waited for the Union invasion of Texas on the muddy banks of Sabine Pass. The Union had sent four gunboats, and
We run into people on a more or less frequent basis that are looking for a church. Many times you will hear people who are undergoing this process say things like, "How do I know which church to join," and
At the end of Acts 18 and the beginning of Acts 19, we have a very interesting account of salvation. The account is one in which those who were candidates of salvation submitted to two different baptisms, the baptism of
Jesus mission while he was upon the earth was to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10). Inasmuch as the church belongs to her Lord (Matt.16:18), she is to be about that same mission as well. Within that mission,
It has been said that humility is one of those things that if you claim you have it, you don't! There is something to be said concerning this statement. Humility is one of those characteristics that you have in your
Perhaps you have seen this slogan frequently in the past several weeks. During times of prosperity and peace, many forget God. They rest upon their laurels and become satisfied with self. The thought of God crosses their mind once or
Yes! In fact, we have a divine obligation to use instrumental music in worship! Perhaps you are wondering at this point if this writer is the same Kevin Cauley who preaches for the Berryville church of Christ in Berryville, Arkansas.
In Matthew 18:13ff, Jesus presents a very important question to these disciples. He says, "Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?" The disciples said that some people are saying that you are John the Baptizer; some
God, in His wisdom, saw fit from eternity to establish the church. Ephesians 3:10 and 11 reads, "To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of
Recently I was driving down the road and I noticed a sign on one of the local denominations. It said, "Experience a new way to know God." This really got me to thinking. If God wanted me to know Him,
There is in the Lord's church a growing number of individuals who are seeking to change the practices that we find in the scriptures to conform to a more denominational perspective. These are departing from the teaching that is found
PBS recently aired a television special asking the question that most don't want to confront, "Why is there such evil in this world?" "Why would God allow such evil to occur?" Why wouldn't God stop such an evil event as
It is clear from the scriptures that in order for one to be saved, one must be baptized (Mark 16:16). Since the word "baptize" is a transliteration from the Greek word "baptizo" the significance of the word is lost to
How does a person change the world? Some people are naturally charismatic and can energize multitudes toward action and change. There are others who boldly dare to personally governments by laying down their life. And yet others through armed conflict
In the business world, there is a saying, "Perception is Truth." The concept basically is this: you should react to people the way they perceive you, regardless of whether those perceptions are correct or not. The result of this type
The Bible is the greatest book ever written for man and the words of the Bible prove this fact over and over again. It has been said that it is the "owner's" manual for life. Certainly it was written by
I have just finished reading one of the most delightful books that I have ever read. It is entitled, J.D. Tant--Texas Preacher. I am sure that many of the brethren have read this book, and I would encourage more to
This past week, I have had several things to repair around the house. I have also been laboring to get a new hitch installed on my SUV so that I can attach a new product that I recently bought for
Romans 1:16 boldly declares that God's power for salvation is within the gospel of Jesus Christ. In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul teaches that the basis of the gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. What does the death,
It was based primarily upon the writing of Thomas Campbell in his "Declaration and Address" from which the greatest modern plea for religious unity has ever been made. To summarize that document, Campbell states that in order to have religious
The question of who will be saved has occupied the thoughts of many throughout the ages. There are some people today who believe that everyone who has ever lived will be saved. There are some today who believe that a
I was talking with someone the other day regarding coming to the services. The person explained that he was going to a denomination right now because his child liked going to this place. That is when this thought crossed my
One of the great questions that faces our day is the question of why there are so many denominations around us. It is clear from the scriptures that the followers of Christ were to be united in doctrine and practice.
Recently I was asked this very important question. It is a question about which many people have pondered. It is a question that largely goes unanswered by many that choose rather to uphold the status quo of mainline religious bodies
More and more I hear of members of the church speaking about "witnessing" and less frequently do I hear about members of the church speaking about teaching the gospel of Christ. While the term "witness" is a biblical one and
A couple of weeks ago in the bulletin we looked at the question, "What is our greatest challenge?" The answer to that question is that our greatest challenge is ourselves. If we can overcome our own personal fears, setbacks, difficulties,
In the book of Ezra, chapters 8-10, we read concerning the return of some Israelites to their native land. When they had come out of captivity, they offered sacrifices to God (8:35). From this sacrifice they delivered some to the
Sometimes the most sublime truths can be stated in the simplest ways. We have a song that is often sung in our children's classes and vacation bible schools: "Oh, be careful little eyes what you see." The song continues and
Jeremiah records in chapter 36 the history of King Jehoiakim's rejection of prophecy. In verses 1-8, Jeremiah asks Baruch, a scribe, to write the prophecies on a scroll and then take them to the temple and read them before the

Reading through the news today, I came across an article on one of the presidential candidates wherein one of his former military commanders had said that he was a "loose cannon." Just the other day, one of our members was
"For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:20). The above saying of Jesus introduces within its context the fact
In Matthew 28:18-20, we have these words: "And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the
As far as the Christian is concerned, everything that he is, does, and says, belongs to God. So, the Christian's speech is to serve the Christian's Lord. This means that the Christian is free to speak, but only in a
I heard a story this week about a little boy in Texas who is currently residing in a children's home. When I inquired about why he was in the home, I was told that his Father placed him there on
Recently, I have received several questions from our web site on the subject of discouragement. One person writes, "I am an evangelist but I feel let down, not wanted?" Another writes, "I am really confused right now. Everybody I ask
On our recent trip to Maine, we had the opportunity to see several lighthouses. One we were able to visit up close as it was located within the boundaries of the national park and accessible by car. This particular lighthouse
We read within the Bible that Christians assembled together upon the first day of the week to worship God through His Son, Jesus (Acts 20:7). When they met together, they studied God's word, prayed, sang hymns of praise, gave of
One summer, a friend of mine and I went to Colorado to climb mountains. To get there, we drove all night from the very southeastern tip of Texas (near Beaumont) beginning Sunday night around 8:00 P.M, and arrived in Trinidad
When my wife and I got married close to thirteen years ago and my parents asked us why we wanted to get married, we replied, "because we love each other." I will never forget the words that my dad told
The verse that immediately came to my mind when thinking about Memorial Day was John 15:13, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." This verse is often quoted on Memorial
One might think that the answer to this question is obvious. Faithful Christians should oppose homosexuality in all forms (Romans 1:26, 27). So where does the question come from? I have heard from a few different people who don't think
This past week I was having a conversation with a friend who is a member of a denominational church. She mentioned to me that she wanted to come visit us and that she had told her "pastor" that she was
