Think twice before buying a thicker piece of meat; a 2-inch thick steak takes four times (not twice) as long as 1-inch thick steak to cook.
If you're cooking something that's been marinated, make sure to pat the item dry before it hits the grill. Any sugar in the marinade will burn.

The new era of technology we are presently in has brought many new ways for businesses to bring in more customers and sales. With the help of online marketing and a well converting website, many companies have been able to increase and in many cases double or triple sales.
It has been proven that businesses with websites bring in more customers and the competitors that don't are missing out on lots of potential new business. Not having a website is like handing over customers to the competition. While you have no website at all, theirs is taking in all of the customers that searched online for their type of service.
No matter what location you are in, having a website can be a great way for people to find your business. Over 70 percent of people search for local services online so if your website isn't there for them to choose from, you are simply missing out.
Now can you see the difference?

text: "Is everybody on the boat?" That sound came out of the Rumble Mud-speaker at the beginning of their try-out gig at the BP café (last February). Simultaneously with an explosive E chord that went towards the crowd as a welcoming surprise. Surprise?! Indeed , to be more specific it's the kind of chord you would normally play at the end of a gig, but it seems to work for Rumble Mud. From that moment on, as they started to play their first song "Bug spray", until the end of their gig ,the crowd stayed focused on every song they played in between. A major highpoint that night, came when they played the song "Natural born jerk" and worked along for a satisfied impression for both sides. Band and crowd had a swell time. That night was the "cherry in the glass", and a reward for the hard work they started to invest about a year and a half earlier. At that time they where formed out of an initiative of Chris Picks (lead guitar ) and Michel Bertels (guitar/ vocals). It only took a short while or a few telephone calls to complete the band . Formally base player of the Cardinals Arnoud Pieterse and awesome drummer Bruno van Reeth felt for the project instantly, in a mixture of blues, rock, pulp, surf, and all that's related. This rhythm section is doing a great job in the backbone of the music as well as they have a big influence in the way a Rumble Mud structurally fits and sounds: all for one ,one for all. A short while after the band was formed they saw the importance to capture the Hammond man Henri van Raemdonck as a full member (course of his fine contributions he did earlier on a few songs, before the official first Rumble Mud gig) So I guess that everybody is on the boat now , and ready to float into the wave of a musical future.

Free school meals for primary pupils
/ News
Free school meals will be available to every pupil in Scotland during their first three years at primary school, First Minister Alex Salmond has announced.
The measure, which will be introduced from January next year, matches a scheme being brought in south of the border.
It is being funded with the extra money which will be received by the Scottish Government as a budget consequence of Westminster's plans for schools in England.
During a debate on Scotland's future at Holyrood, Mr Salmond told MSPs that free meals in Scotland would be funded with £114 million over the next two years, saving families at least £330 for each child.
"The announcements that we make today will have the greatest possible effect given the resources available to us," Mr Salmond said.
"Under this Government, Scotland has made free meals available in every primary school to families which receive child and working tax credits. A step which hasn't being taken in England and Wales, and which has contributed to 10,000 more pupils registering for free school meals.
"Now I am delighted to tell this chamber that we can go further. I can announce today that after discussions with our partners in local government, we will fund free school meals for all children in P1 to P3 from next January.
"That measure will build on and learn from the pilots we established in the five local authority areas in 2007/08.
"It will remove any possibility of free meals being a source of stigma during the first years of a child's schooling, it will improve health and wellbeing, and will be worth crucially £330 each year for each child to families across the country."
Mr Salmond also announced plans to further expand free childcare, starting with two-year-olds from the most deprived backgrounds.
From August this year, every two-year-old from a "workless" family will be entitled to 600 hours of free childcare, representing 15% of two-year-olds.
From August next year free childcare provision will be extended further, reaching 27% of all two-year-olds, by widening the entitlement to families who receive certain welfare benefits such as income support.
The plans build on existing measures in Children and Young People's Bill to provide free childcare to all two-year-olds in care.
"By August 2015, the overall level of free learning and care being delivered for two, three and four-year-olds in Scotland will exceed that which is promised elsewhere in the UK," Mr Salmond said.
"These are important and immediate announcements, but they fall short, I readily admit, of the transformation that is required in Scottish society.
"We need to create a tax, welfare and childcare system that doesn't plunge children into poverty as the UK Government is doing, that puts us on a par with the best childcare systems in the world.
"And that is why the future of Scotland's children is the future of Scotland, and why Scotland's future is an independent one."
The Government said free school meals will cost £13 million in 2014/15 and £42 million in 2015/16. The expansion of childcare will cost £15 million in 2014/15 and £44 million in 2015/16.
The Scottish budget was boosted by an additional £308 million in extra devolved spending following the UK Government's Autumn Statement.
Mr Salmond said this funding was dwarfed by overall reductions in the Scottish budget.

Former club champion Gene Funderburk and Tim Woodward teamed to capture the annual member-member golf tournament at the Lancaster Golf Club last Sunday.
Funderburk and Woodward won a card playoff with a birdie on the first hole to capture the win.
Woodward and Funderburk were tied with University of South Carolina at Lancaster golfer Taylor Banks and Larry Snyder at 136 after 36 holes of play in the 24-team field.
Woodward-Funderburk shot a 70-66, while Banks and Snyder carded a 69-67.
Host Union tallied two runs in the top of the seventh inning and held on to down the Lancaster Southern Belles all-stars in the state tournament title game Wednesday night.
The defending state champion Lancaster Belles held a 1-0 edge, but Union tallied its two runs in the top of the seventh to take the lead for the good on the way to the win.
Lancaster, in the bottom of the seventh, rallied with two runners on, but couldn't get the needed runs home.
Kelsi Moser, who worked 1.1 innings in relief, took the tough loss. She allowed two hits and two runs.
Heintz Performance will sponsor the Limited Late Model division race Saturday night with $2,000 on the line at Lancaster Motor Speedway.
Chad Paxton will be a favorite as he has been on a tear this season at LMS. Mike Huey, who has already won a $2,000 LMS race this season, will be seeking that second $2,000 pay day.
Points leader David Yandle will be looking to grab his first 2010 win.
Shaun Medlin, who has been looking awful tough this year at LMS, will be seeking to put his No. 45 in victory lane for the first time this season.
Raceway fans were treated to a lot of action at Lancaster Motor Speedway on Saturday night. Some of the races had the fans' full attention, from the pits to the stands. Some drivers were even treated to standing ovations.
Limited Late Model
Lancaster High School athletic director Mark Strickland has announced starting dates for Bruins' fall sports.
Strickland said all athletes planning to participate in any sport must have a sports physical before they can begin play with a team. Physical forms are available at the front desk in the LHS office. Call 283-2001 for details.
The LHS football team begins practice Friday at 8 a.m., with a second practice at 6 p.m.
The Edgewater Golf Club hosted the Fuzzy Zoeller Invitational on July 12.
As the name implies, golf legend Fuzzy Zoeller was hosting the tournament and also performed a 45-minute clinic.
The clinic was entertaining for all, including four local junior standout golfers who were invited to play in the tournament by Edgewater club pro Jeremy Allen. Allen is highly respected among the players and junior players of Edgewater, making Edgewater a very enjoyable course to play or practice.

For The Lancaster News
Manning Post 68 used an eight-run first inning to cruise to a 10-3 victory over host team Post 31 to eliminate them from the state tournament Saturday afternoon at Doomsday Corner. Post 31 got on the scoreboard in the fourth inning when Michael Cooper reached on a bunt single.
Lancaster hosted the District 2 tournament for the Lancaster Dixie Youth Major League all-stars, ages 11-12, at the Ronnie Gandy Field at Wylie Park Complex last week. The Lancaster team ended up in second place after defeating Union American and Chester, but falling twice to Union Nationals.
In the first game, the Union Nationals defeated Lancaster, 6-0. Lancaster's defense was led by Brooks Viola, who hit a single. Logan Lucas and Byron Haigler had one walk apiece.
Raceway fans were treated to one of the best National Dirt Racing Association (NDRA) Crate Late Model races in history Saturday night at Lancaster Motor Speedway.
In the front row were Kent Peckham and local standout Timbo Mangum. When the green flag dropped, it was Mangum with the lead over Peckham and a hard-charging Dennis "Rambo" Franklin.
Franklin and Peckham battled side-by-side for about 10 laps for the second-place stop. An early race caution bunched the field back together, giving Franklin the chance he needed to get by Peckham.
Marlboro County Post 60 Juniors scored eight unanswered runs to beat Lancaster Post 31 Juniors, 8-4, in the opening round of the S.C. American Legion Junior State Tournament Friday at Eggleton Field.
Post 31 took an early lead in the second inning as Trai Sanders knocked in two runs with a double. Dalton Johnson plated Sanders with a single. Jonah Crenshaw followed with an RBI single. All three runs came with two outs.

This product had been reported in clinical trials to improve energy levels and the general felling of tiredness associated with chronic fatigue syndrome in 50% of those taking it. This is the only reason I tried D-Ribose and I found it to be of no benefit. I guess I am in the 50% of the population that it doesn't work.

For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her ROOTS BY THE RIVER, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."

This time it is a prayer for the Christians at Philippi.

"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
(Philippians 1:9-11)

It is also by prayer with some differences.

Here is one of the ways:
"For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light."
(Colossians 1:9-12)

The Colossians end up having all of the characteristics simply because Paul had prayed for them to have them. They had no means of obeying them. They could not be filled with the knowledge of His will with all spiritual wisdom and understanding by any act of obedience.

Have your friends pray for you using this text. You will find yourself bearing fruit in every good work with no effort.

"If you love me, keep my commands...Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them."
(John 14:15;21)

"...and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
(Matthew 28:20)

Loving Jesus requires obedience to his commands. Discipleship requires obeying everything he commands his disciples. Here are a few of many commands:

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."
(John 13:34)

"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
(Luke 6:38)

"So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
(Matthew 6:31-34)

"But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,"
(Matthew 5:44)

"Then Jesus said to his host, 'When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.'"
(Luke 14:12-14

Have you obeyed any or all of them?
Do you love Jesus?
Are you his disciple?

Please write out every command of Jesus and answer the question, "Have you obeyed this command?"

"Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?' and I said, 'Here am I. Send me!' He said, 'Go and tell this people: 'Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.' Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.'"
(Isaiah 6:8-10)

These few verses are quoted in the New Testament. The first is in Matthew 13 when Jesus says why he uses parables so that people would not understand.

"This is why I speak to them in parables: 'Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.' In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: ''You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.' But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear."
(Matthew 13:13-16)

Jesus quotes it again in John 12:29-41 and Jesus said that they would not believe and also that they could not believe. John also tells us that the one who appeared to Isaiah was the Lord Jesus.

"Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus' glory and spoke about him."
(John 12:41)

Finally, Paul quotes it to the Jews who came to him when he was under house arrest (Acts 28:16a) in Rome. Here he is; verse 25-29.

"They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: 'The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your ancestors when he said through Isaiah the prophet: "Go to this people and say, 'Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.'Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them." 'Therefore I want you to know that God's salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!"
(Acts 28:25-29)

He says that they don't want to believe.

In the Bible there is much indirect reference to sex, much of it having to do with procreation in marriage.

"Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, 'With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man.'" (Genesis 4:1)

"He slept with Hagar, and she conceived. When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress." (Genesis 16:4)

"That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up." (Genesis 19:33)

"Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him." (Genesis 21:2)

Women have two strong instincts:

1. To be a wife
2. To be a mother

Sometimes the mother instinct is so strong that the woman will marry just to have children. The mother instinct may be stronger than the wife instinct.

With men, they also have two strong instincts:

1. To be a husband
2. To be a father

The instinct for sex is stronger than the fatherhood. Solomon had seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines (I Kings 11:3).

He was more interested in sex than he was in children. However, he was a father many times over. He was not a good father.

The genealogies in I Chronicles 1-10, Matthew 1, and Luke 4 all have to do with procreation. From the great verses of the men of Faith in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews here are a few who were all poor fathers: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, and Samuel. All were justified by faith. That means that they were forgiven for their sins which included being poor husbands and fathers.

After the flood, God blessed Noah and gave him commands, one of which was Genesis 9:7.
"As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it." (Genesis 9:7)

Mankind has obeyed that command but not in a godly way.

During the same time I spent four years in the Far East. When the ship was in port, whether it was in Sasebo, Yokohama, Hong Kong, Manila, or Subic Bay, the first several blocks from the dock were several hundred prostitutes. Officers and enlisted men both participated in the sex business. But back home there were few pregnancies and few abortions.

If some young woman got pregnant or was known to be promiscuous, she was avoided by the saints. In the late sixties, I was Sunday School superintendent in a church in Maryland. One of the teenage Sunday School teachers got pregnant. I met with her and found that she was repentant and forgiven for her sexual activity. She was not guilty of being pregnant. Only God creates children. I allowed her to continue to teach. The church got upset with me for that decision. There have been over 50 million legal induced abortions performed since 1973 in the US.

Here are some statistics:

1.2 million abortions per year
135,000 adoptions per year

There are close to four million births every year in the US. One hundred thirty five thousand of these are adopted out.

There are over five million conceptions in a year and one million of them are aborted. That is one fifth of all pregnancies are aborted.

I am not writing this to horrify you with statistics. I am writing to see if you care enough to reach out to these women to love them into the kingdom. I am concerned about the lack of love. The two choices seem to be either acceptance of premarital sex and of abortions, or judgment and exile of the women. Neither one of these is a Christian view. Read John 8:1-11 and John 4. What about the men? They are the most responsible. But they are not as vulnerable as the women or as helpless. They should protect the woman, not take advantage of her. This means we have to go after the men.

In addition, we should go after the fathers of these women. You could reach out to them while they are still virgins, or when they are promiscuous, or when they have an abortion, or after they have had it. In every case they will be open to your love.

It is about the size of Utah with 45 times as many people. The first movable printing type made of metal was invented there in the late 1300's. A phonetic alphabet with 24 letters was invented in 1438. Other first inventions were armored warships in the 1500's, marine's compass and a suspension bridge. Only 22 percent of the land is arable.

Recent Political history:

Japan's influence in Korea became strong in 1895. In 1905, Japan took control of Korea's foreign affairs. In 1910, Japan annexed Korea as part of Japan. This continued until August of 1945. After Japan's surrender in World War II, Russia invaded Korea as far south as the 38th Parallel. North Korea invaded South Korea in June of 1950. This was continued for an even three years, at which time a truce was signed but there has never been a peace treaty. The two nations are still at war 60 years later. Total military casualties dead, wounded, and missing for South Korea , United States, and the UN – 580,135. Total military casualties for China and North Korea – 1,591,000. Civilian casualties are unknown but both North and South Korea were devastated physically.

North Korea is under a dictatorship. The country is very poor.

South Korea is a modern industrial democracy. A satellite picture of Korea at night shows South Korea lighted with electric light. North Korea is physically dark.

Ryle on ZealIn 1958 I became acquainted with J.C. Ryle. We received an anonymous gift of three one dollar bills from Lancaster, PA. Also in the envelope was a tract on Hell by bishop Ryle. Many years later while ministering in Taiwan, I was given a picture of J.C. Ryle with his own signature on the picture. More years went by when here in Moscow, a man was publishing hard back books of all of J.C. Ryle's writings. I gave the man the picture with the autograph. He was grateful. I received free new books.

This is an excuse to quote two quotes by J.C. Ryle on zeal.

"It may be very true that wise young believers are very rare. But it is no less true that zealous old believers are very rare also." – J.C. Ryle, Practical Religion, p. 147

"A zealous man in religion is pre-eminently a man of one thing. It is not enough to say that he is earnest, hearty, uncompromising, thorough-going, whole-hearted, fervent in spirit. He only sees one thing, he cares for one thing, he lives for one thing, he is swallowed up in one thing; and that one thing is to please God. Whether he lives, or whether he dies – whether he is rich, or whether he is poor – whether he pleases men, or whether he gives offence – whether he is thought wise, or whether he is thought foolish – whether he gets honour, or whether he gets shame – for all this the zealous man cares nothing at all. He burns for one thing; and that one thing is, to please God and to advance God's glory." – J.C. Ryle, Practical Religion, p. 130.

The primary reason for the prayer meeting is to intercede for the saints in Pullman-Moscow area, to get them back to their first love. The second reason is to ask the Lord of the harvest to send reapers into the harvest for the harvest is plenteous and the laborers are few.

I and a few others are seeing the moving of the Spirit in regular conversations of men with no previous knowledge of the Gospel. If you are in range of my home, 114 South Howard St. Moscow, ID we encourage you to come. We do not want to run ahead of God nor do we want to run to catch up. We want the Holy Spirit to come down on every resident in the community. That is what happened in Jerusalem in Acts 1 and 2, in modern times in Wales 1904-1905, Korea 1907-1910, and New York City on Fulton Street in 1857. We will spend an hour together in prayer.

Also on January 17 at 3:15 PM I will start an eight week teaching on personal evangelism. We know from the scriptures that more people want into the kingdom than there are Christians who want them in. We would like to correct this discrepancy. The teaching will be on plowing the ground, making good ground, planting the seed, reaping the harvest, and how to recognize the difference between hard ground, soft ground and a ripe harvest.

We are all witnesses of Jesus Christ. We are either good witnesses of Jesus Christ or not good witnesses. We all have normal contact with unbelievers. Let's learn how to be obedient to the Great Commission.

One of the main evangelistic efforts has been with God-called people working in and out of Christian bookstores. Because of the lack of enough evangelistic men or women, we have closed or given to other ministries seven of these ministries. We are still active in four university towns: Gunnison, CO; Logan, UT; Moscow, ID; and Pullman, WA. We are short of staff in all of those locations.

We are looking for people who would like to join in this evangelism. If you have a heart for the Great Commission we would like to train you, unless you are already equipped.

The evangelism will be mostly personal, not mass. The training would be in friendship and literature evangelism. This would be personally taught by Jim Wilson. There will be teaching on instant contact with unbelievers. There will be opportunities to put this teaching into effect.

This training will be at Jim Wilson's house, twice a week, beginning January 19, 2015. There will be reading assignments. There is no cost to the training. Books will be provided. Sometimes, if you come with us, you will be teamed up with one of our staff members on our front lines.

Pleas let me know if you are interested.

P.S. Even if you do not desire to join us at CCM, you may still take the course.

"Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns." (Jeremiah 4:3)

The Lord's instruction to Judah through Jeremiah was spiritual instruction. He wasn't speaking about farming. The Bible is wonderful in its clarity, and we can be awfully obtuse in our understanding.

We do not operate like good farmers. We are like a three-year-old child who plants a bean and digs it up every day to see if it is growing. We have a Jack-and-the-Beanstalk view of sowing. We expect a giant plant the next morning.

We are impatient for the harvest so we are impatient in our sowing. We sow in unplowed, undisced, and unharrowed ground. We sow in weeds. We sow in the rocks and on hard ground. We wonder why no harvest. The harvest is dependent on sowing, which is dependent onus. It is also dependent upon the ground. The kind of ground is, in a sense, dependent on us. "Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among the thorns" speaks of the need for cultivation. Good, soft ground with no rocks and no weeds will bring forth thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold (Matthew 13).

In the business of bookstore evangelism, how do we prepare the ground even before sowing? Broken ground, soft and moist, is actually hungry for seed. If earth has a purpose, that is it. "And God said, 'Let the earth bring forth grass and the tree yielding fruit.'" So it is with people. Prepared people are hungry for the seed of the Word of God.

People should be prepared, like the ground, before the seed is planted. The "good news" is the seed. How do we prepare people before we start sharing with them the good news of Jesus Christ? We are to love them. Love softens the ground. We are to pray for them. As you pray for us in our bookstore ministry, God will fill our hearts with his love for people, and as you pray for the people we mention, the Holy Spirit will prepare them to receive the Word of God.

"And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth." (II Timothy 2:24, 25)

It is important and possible to love people, pray for them, be patient, gentle, and kind before we mention the God of our salvation. This does not have to be a long period. It is not the length of time of preparation; it is the genuineness of our gentleness that is important. If we love people genuinely, it may be possible to sow good seed into "ready" ground in a matter of minutes.

Remember, an abundant harvest is dependent upon the amount of seed sown, the kind of ground sown in, and the obedience of the reapers. Ground preparation is not something to do in order to get out of sowing; sowing is not something done in order to get out of reaping. But ground preparation does come first. Help us, then, in preparation of hearts as you pray for us and those we mention.

This was not in place of prayer. It was God's answer to prayer in her life:

"Reaching this point in my spiritual life enabled me about ten years later to marry a man whose work, I knew, would take both of us to new and unfriendly territory halfway around the world. Many people have asked me since that time how I could do it. The answer is simple: I have learned that I couldn't. It is not about me and what I can or can't do; it is all about what Christ can do. This move meant many unknowns, but then, God had me living like that for many years – in my own country. I am not an adventuresome person and not a risk-taker, and I am thankful for that, otherwise I might have doubted myself; "Am I really doing this for the Lord – or doing it for myself?" Because it's not in my nature to take such a drastic step, I will gladly testify that it is the Lord's hand.

"Having come to a desert in a very out-of-the-way spot, one day God led an Indian pharmacist through a local friend literally to our doorstep. The man listened patiently over tea as I described my symptoms of fibromyalgia. They weren't worsening but weren't letting up, either. The man suggested several things that would probably be helpful, including a form of Vitamin B-12. I had heard a lot of remedies over the years but decided to give this methylcobalamin (MCB) a try. What could it hurt? It was just a plain old vitamin. Within a day, the fiery pain had decreased by 80%. I thought I must surely be dreaming and didn't even tell my husband at first. Yet in two days, it had almost completely vanished! I felt stunned…could this really be happening? After all these years of suffering? The resounding answer has been YES. So although God has not chosen to heal me completely, His fingerprints are all over this. Being healed or not has nothing to do with my faith. It doesn't even matter that I have it…except that it still helps me to still keep my 'eye on the ball.' I would not have exchanged those years for anything."

They are not commands. They are to be believed. Your belief will be the major means of obedience to the adjacent commands.

1. "By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?" (Romans 6:2)

2. "For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin." (Romans 6:6).

3. "In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus." (Romans 6:11)

4. "But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life." (Romans 6:22)

5. "But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code." (Romans 7:6)

6. "For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light." (Colossians 1:9-12) This is not a command, it is a prayer that will be answered.

7. "And have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator." (Colossians 3:10)

8. "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." (Galatians 2:20)

9. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires." (Galatians 5:22-24)

All of these are passive happening. They are just true; and if true, they provide the means of obedience to all other commands.

When I ask them if this introspection is an "upper" or a "downer" the answer is "a downer." Then I ask them, "Is it accusatory or convicting?" The answer is "accusatory."

The accuser of the brethren is Satan. This introspection is not of God. Recently I read an account by Charles Finney speaking of himself in the 1820's almost 200 years ago.

"Sometimes I would pursue a wrong course in fasting, and attempt to examine myself according to the ideas of self-examination then entertained by my minister and the church. I would try to look into my own heart, in the sense of examining my feelings; and would turn my attention particularly to my motives, and the state of my mind. When I pursued this course, I found invariably that the day would close without any perceptible advance being made. Afterward I saw clearly why this was so. Turning my attention as I did, from the Lord Jesus Christ, and looking into myself, examining my motives and feelings, my feelings all subsided of course. But whenever I fasted, and let the Spirit take his own course with me, and gave myself up to let him lead and instruct me, I universally found it in the highest degree useful."

We can quote the verses. Here are other verses that tell us of other results of this wonderful salvation:

"My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One." (John 2:1)

"By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?" (Romans 6:2)

"For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin." (Romans 6:6)

"Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him." (Romans 6:8)

"The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God." (Romans 6:10)

"In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus." (Romans 6:11)

"You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness." (Romans 6:18)

"Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness." (Romans 6:19b)

"So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God." (Romans 7:4)

"In order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit." (Romans 8:4)

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." (Romans 8:37)

"He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ." (Colossians 1:28)

"Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules…" (Colossians 2:20)

"Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God." (Colossians 3:1)

"For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God." (Colossians 3:3)

"You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness." (Ephesians 4:22-24)

"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." (Galatians 2:20)

But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." (Matthew 5:27-28)

"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving." (Ephesians 5:3-4)

This sin, both kinds "looking and "talking", is pandemic in the world and epidemic in the church.

"For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light." (Ephesians 5:8-13)

We are to expose their wickedness by living in the light. One of the ways to find out if someone is a Christian is to listen to his mouth.

"But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips." (Colossians 3:8)

Wrath and anger and obscene speech have no place in a Christian's life. I know a pastor who is guilty of anger with his child. I also know he does not discipline his children. The children are wild.

"He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?)" (I Timothy 3:4-5)

"An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. Since an overseer manages God's household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain." (Titus 1:6-7)

I know of another pastor who verbally abused his wife on Sunday morning, and then went to preach.

If anyone else knows besides me, they will stay pastoring because the sin is not addressed. It is sin on the part of the congregation to let this sin go.

"Do not entertain an accusation against an elder unless it is brought by two or three witnesses. But those elders who are sinning you are to reprove before everyone, so that the others may take warning." (I Timothy 5:19-20)

"Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." (Ephesians 6:4)

Have you ever been exasperated or been provoked to anger by your father? If "yes" then that is saying that your father was in sin. Have you exasperated your children or provoked them to anger? Then you are in sin. This sin must be confessed and forsaken.

"So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church." (Ephesians 5:28-29, KJV)

"And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." (Ephesians 6:4, KJV)

Notice the difference between your wife and your children. Your wife is to be nourished and cherished. Your children are to be nurtured and admonished. Both are to be nourished.

Wives are to be cherished
Children are to be admonished

Wives are not to be admonished. Suppose my wife needs to be admonished. There is a way to admonish people.

"He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ." (Colossians 1:28)

Admonishing is done with all wisdom, to present everyone perfect in Christ. Husbands do not do it with all wisdom and it does not present your wife perfect in Christ.

There is another condition to be met. It is this,

"Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted." (Galatians 6:1)

You must be "spiritual" and you must be "gentle." If you do not fit their requirements, then you are not qualified to restore your wife. If you have admonished your wife, you are in great sin against God. This needs to be confessed with godly sorrow, renounced, and forsaken.

For some reason I found out and ministered to them, but was only partly successful with a few of them. The next few posts be on their sins. I do not think all of you are guilty but I know some of you are. If the church does not know, God knows and your wife and children probably know.

How Do You Treat Your Wife?

"Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers." (I Peter3:7)

You are to live with your wives

1. in an understanding way
2. as with someone weak, since she is a woman
3. So that your prayers will not be hindered.

Are your prayers hindered? Are you imitating Jesus?

"Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them." (Colossians 3:19)

Are you bitter towards your wife? That is sin against God.

"Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice." (Ephesians 4:31)

Not only must you confess this sin, it must be gotten rid of. It does not happen any more.

There are "Be" commands in the Bible. They are basic or precede the "Do" commands. We "do" out of what we "are." God "did" out of what He "is." "God is love," (I John 4:8 and 16). God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. God loved out of what He is, love.

"A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of." (Luke 6:45)

Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. Man speaks out of what he is. If our hearts are filled with good things they overflow with good things.

The "Be" commands are heart things. Here are a few of the "Be" commands:

"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love." (Ephesians 4:2)

"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." (Ephesians 4:32)

"But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ʻBe holy, because I am holy.'" (I Peter 1:15, 16)

"Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:48)

If we obey the "Be" commands the "Do" commands are a "piece of cake."

It was not because I did not believe it, because I did, and do believe it. On the contrary, that's why I did not like to hear it. It was recited by rote and mumbled by people I assumed did not believe it, or if they did believe it they did not seem to care if they believed it.

Then one Sunday fifty some years ago I happened to be in the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant in Bala Cynwood, Pennsylvania on a Sunday morning. The congregation stood and shouted out:

"I BELIEVE IN GOD THE FATHER ALMIGHTY, MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH: AND IN JESUS CHRIST HIS ONLY SON, OUR LORD; WHO WAS CONCEIVED BY THE HOLY GHOST, BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY, SUFFERED UNDER PONTIUS PILATE, WAS CRUCIFIED, DEAD, AND BURIED; HE DESCENDED INTO HELL; THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD; HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN, AND SITTETH ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD THE FATHER ALMIGHTY; FROM THENCE HE SHALL COME TO JUDGE THE QUICK AND THE DEAD. I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY GHOST; THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH; THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS; THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS; THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY; AND THE LIFE EVERLASTING. AMEN."

I still remember it. The same can happen with hymns. By asking questions I found why young people did not like hymns. They grew up in a church where they were sung like they were at a funeral.

More liars stand behind hymnals than any other place and they do not lie with conviction. At Bessie's memorial service, four years ago, we sang many hymns an hour before the service started. It was a time of joy!

A good introduction to this topic would be to read that chapter through.

Since question 7 calls for a definition of faith, by studying the 8 passages of Scripture, you will finally have 8 definitions. There is certain to be some overlapping, but by keeping a record of the various definitions, you may be able to make a comprehensive definition at the end of the studies.

1. Genesis 6:1-22, Hebrews 11:7 - Noah
2. Genesis 15:1-6, Romans 4:16-25 - Abraham
3. Joshua 2:1-21, Hebrews 11:31 - Rahab
4. Jonah 3:1-10 - People of Ninevah
5. Matthew 8:1-13 - Centurion
6. Luke 7:36-50 - A woman
7. John 20:1-10 - 'The other disciple' (vs. 8)
8. Acts 27:1-44 - Paul (vs. 25)

From a study of each of the above Scriptures decide:

1. What were the circumstances or needs that called for the exercise of faith?
2. Were there obstacles or problems that made belief difficult?
3. Exactly what was believed? When possible, make a distinction between what was believed generally and what was believed specifically.
4. Try to determine what gave birth to faith. Consider whether the person believed as an act of desperation, as the result of a process of reasoning, because of the stimulant of another's faith, or for some other reason.
5. How many people were involved in the decision to believe? In this connection, consider the effect on other people by the faith of the person who believed.
6. What was achieved by faith? Were the results temporary, permanent? And how far-reaching?
7. From the above answers, and from the particular Scripture under study, make a definition of faith.
8. Summarize what you have learned and apply it to yourself.

The subject is more difficult than previous subjects we have studied such as guidance and prayer; because the material is not in such concise form. The complete life of each individual should be studied, but since the time for study is usually limited, one incident or one part of the individual's life has been selected. In this way most of the outstanding qualities, conditions, and problems of Christian leadership will be revealed.

 1. Exodus 3:1-18, 4:1-20 - Moses
 2. Joshua 1:1-18, 3:1-6 - Joshua
 3. Samuel 14:1-23 - Jonathan
 4. Nehemiah 1:1-11, 2:1-20 - Nehemiah
 5. Acts 27:1-44 - Paul
 6. Matthew 8:5-13 - Centurion
 7. Acts 3:1-16, 4:1-20 - Peter

In studying each of these Scriptures, come to a conclusion regarding:

1. What were the circumstances in which leadership was shown?
 2. What was the particular assignment, and how much depended on this assignment being fulfilled?
 3. In relation to God, what qualities did the leader have?
 4. In relation to other people, what qualities did the leader reveal?
 5. Summarize the difficulties, personal or circumstantial, encountered by the leader and decide whether these could have been overcome by his own unaided efforts.
 6. What supernatural resources were made available to the leader by God?
 7. Summarize the reasons for the leader's success or failure.
 8. Apply the principles discovered to yourself.

SEPARATE STUDY

From Matthew 10:1-42, consider Christ as a leader. Some of the above questions do not fit this unique example. In place of those that are unsuitable add:

1. What methods of leadership did Christ use?
2. What special qualities of leadership did He show on this occasion?

They were designed by Bill Pape in the 1960s in Japan. If you do all of them there will be 23 studies.

MIRACLES

By faith we leave the realm of human impossibilities, and enter the area of divine possibilities. We pass from the ordinary to the extraordinary. The purpose of this study is to discover the principles governing miracles. God's ways astonish men, but they are never haphazard. There is a vital difference between a miracle, and what is commonly known as 'good luck.'

In making your conclusions, do not read into the Scriptures what is not there. The Bible is not a mirror of your own ideas, but a revelation of the mind of God. On the other hand, do not miss what is in Scripture, and which diligent search will bring to light.

If you do not have time for all the questions at one session of study, select those you feel to be most important, but always include the last.

1. Exodus 14:1-31 - Dividing the sea
2. 1 Kings 17:1-16 - Feeding Elijah
3. 2 Kings 5:1-19 - Healing of Naaman
4. Daniel 3:1-30 - Deliverance of Shadrach etc.
5. John 6:1-15 - Feeding 5,000
6. John 11:1-46 -Raising Lazarus
7. Acts 3:1-4:22 - Healing lame beggar
8. Acts 12:1-19 - Peter's deliverance

For each of these Scriptures alone, decide:

1. What constituted the need for the miracle:
a. As it affected people.
b. As it affected God's purposes.

2. Could these needs have been met in any other way?

3. Was the miracle entirely God's doing, or was human co-operation required in any way? Define the human co-operation if present.

4. What were the consequences of the miracle upon:
a. those who directly benefited by it.
b. other people.
c. men's subsequent attitude to God.

5. Do you consider that a similar miracle done in modern times would have similar effects upon people?

6. What was the primary purpose for which God did this miracle?

7. From the above answers, summarize your conclusions regarding the principles according to which God works miracles.

8. Apply these principles to your own situation.

Family Firm Internationalization: Influence of Familiness on the Spanish Firm Export Activity
This paper studies the determinants of the export activity of family SMEs, disentangling the three main dimensions that comprise the concept of familiness: power, experience, and culture. The results, using the F-PEC scale over a sample of 500 Spanish SMEs, show that this approach identifies the determinants that explain the export activity of family SMEs better than a simple dichotomous approach. Specifically, we find that the expertise transmitted from different generations and the family culture orientation to the firm positively affect the international activities of family SMEs; however, the composition of the firm control–management does not have any significant influence on internationalization

Software Engineering, Project Management, and Effectiveness
Features don't necessarily aggregate up to "experiences" and I would argue that today's winning approach is …
… Experience-Driven Development
… Where experience means user's can perform their goals successfully… the software makes them feel good and succeed at their goals. It's an integration of scenarios + experiences … and persona-based scenarios with goals.
This shifts the focus to lighting up experiences over just shipping features or scenarios. It also means a focus on "Experience Step-Throughs" to model and prioritize what you ship. It seems like today's software success is about shipping the vital few experiences that make an impact. I know it seems like a subtle shift, but I still come across too many glitches that get in the way of great software … … I think we need "experience-first" … or more "experience-driven."
Experiences are the differentiator ... you can have scenario parity or feature parity, yet miss the boat on experience. It's beyond user stories and scenarios with acceptance tests (though that's a good start.) It's about measuring efficiency and effectiveness of the user experience.
I agree completely, JD, but I have a question for you. You said that user stories and acceptance tests were a good start. Provided those were written by or with the user, would you say that usability testing is the only missing piece?
It helps, but users don't always know what they want (latent needs).
If the usability testing measures user efficiency/effectiveness against the goal, that's a good start.
