New AT&T Unlimited Data Plan Available Even To Non-DirecTV Customers Starting Feb. 17
The unlimited data plan competition is becoming a royal rumble as AT&T has announced it will roll out a new unlimited offering starting Feb. 17.
No one is surprised as it has been a week-long trading of blows by Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint to lure in customers with their unlimited plans. One carrier does not want to be outmaneuvered by the other. So, customers are seeing HD video streaming and extra gigabytes of Hotspot data. Verizon is even offering a free iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus or other flagship smartphones just so users will switch.
New AT&T Unlimited Data Plan
AT&T has revealed that starting Feb. 17, its unlimited data will be made available to all postpaid wireless customers. This means that one does not need to have a DirecTV or U-Verse subscription to enjoy its unlimited data offering.
"Whether you love to stream your favorite shows, play games, video chat or simply surf the web, the AT&T Unlimited Plan provides access to what matters most to you," AT&T said in a statement.
The new AT&T Unlimited Plan includes unlimited data, talk, and text. A single line will cost users $100 per month.
For a group or family of four, the plans will initially cost $220 until credit of $40 starts after two billing cycles during which monthly fees will be $180.
Unlimited plan subscribers can also make unlimited calls from U.S. to Mexico and Canada. You can also send unlimited text messages to over 120 countries. In addition, users do not have to worry about roaming charges when they add the Roam North America feature.
Just like what other carriers offer, AT&T unlimited also comes with a soft data cap. After 22 GB of data usage, the service provider may slow speeds when network is congested.
No Tethering, Includes Stream Saver
Customers should take note that the new AT&T data plan does not include tethering (Yes, no HotSpot for you). Subscribers who want to use their smartphones as a HotSpot need to get one of the capped plans.
The fine print of the deal also says the plan includes stream saver. This feature brings down the quality of video to 480p but according to AT&T, users can turn it off.
How It Compares To Other Unlimited Plans
Comparison charts need to be updated as carriers try to offer customers better plans. The latest move by AT&T does not offer anything new.
In terms of price, AT&T's starting price of $100 for the first line is the most expensive of the bunch. The absence of 4G LTE tethering is also another dealbreaker.

President Donald Trump called four conservative holdouts who could wreck Senate Republican leaders' health care bill "good guys," saying there is a "narrow path" to win their support and pass the measure.
Hours after Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and other GOP leaders briefed senators on then released a "discussion draft" of a bill that would repeal and replace the 2010 health law, GOP Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah announced they could not support the bill as-is.

President Donald Trump and his top aides responded to the health care overhaul bill crafted by Senate Republican leaders with striking silence, even after Vice President Mike Pence said a final vote must happen in the next few weeks.
The White House did not issue any paper statement about the bill, either under Trump's name or that of any senior official. And when Principal Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders briefed reporters a few hours after the bill was made public, she declined to discuss any of its contents.

Jim Bennett, the son of former Utah Sen. Bob Bennett, has a new political party, and he wants it on the ballot in the Utah special election to replace Rep. Jason Chaffetz.
Bennett is suing the state of Utah to get on the ballot with United Utah Party next to his name, after state officials ruled in May that there wouldn't be time to verify the 2,600 signatures gathered to create the new party before the election.

A draft of the Senate counterpart legislation to overhaul the U.S. health insurance system unveiled Thursday would make drastic changes to the Medicaid program, but largely retain the existing federal tax credit structure from the 2010 health care law that helps individuals afford insurance, among other provisions.
The proposal is part of the Republicans' seven-year effort to gut former President Barack Obama's signature domestic achievement. Senate GOP leadership, which has crafted the bill largely behind closed doors with virtually no public input, has faced difficulty in bridging the gap between moderate and conservative demands.

The press team prevailed 2-1 in this year's Congressional Women's Softball Game that pits journalists against members of Congress. It's the ninth annual such event. Bipartisanship was on full display more than ever this year, Alex Gangitano reports, at an event where members from both sides of the aisle have traditionally played on the same team.

Wednesday was a day for Republicans to rest easy. After winning the Georgia and South Carolina special elections Tuesday, the party avoided losing any congressional seats vacated by members who entered President Donald Trump's administration.
But it's not all good news for the GOP (or bad news for Democrats). In each of the four races where Republicans were defending seats — Kansas' 4th, Montana's at large seat, South Carolina's 5th and Georgia's 6th — Democrats did better than they had in any of those districts' congressional elections since at least 2010.

James Singer, the Democrat who launched a bid to unseat seven-term Sen. Orrin Hatch in April, has ended his campaign for Senate, citing fundraising as his campaign's primary shortcoming.
While Singer said it would have been possible to continue his campaign as a "'principled protest' rather than a winning campaign," since he wasn't able to raise "the millions of dollars needed to challenge an established politician like Orrin Hatch," he did not want to "waste the time, money, and energy of my friends and supporters in this matter."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has kept details of the massive rewrite of the health insurance under lock and key. (Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call)
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has taken full control of the chamber's effort to rewrite the U.S. health insurance system, prompting frustrated Republican members to vent their dissatisfaction over the secretive process.

Studio Wildcard's ARK: Survival Evolved is one of those games that is continuously adding new content and new ways to excel at the game of survival. With so many creatures and features making their way into the game, it is easy to fall behind in terms of what the best way to achieve your end goals can be. As new creatures are constantly being added, sometimes making old harvest methods seem prehistoric, oft times players need a little nudge in the right direction to get them back on track and on top of the food chain.
A recent excursion back into the PvP playing field showed me that, even with more than 1500 ARK hours under my belt, there is always something new to learn so, whether you're an ARK veteran, haven't played in a few months or are even a daily player, here are some tips and tricks for making the most of some of the newly added creatures:
Thylacoleo Furtimorsus (the marsupial lion) is both beautiful and dangerous and should be a part of your PvP arsenal.
- One of the latest additions to the ARK (and currently only available on the Island), the Thylacoleo is a tree-dwelling feline about the size of a bear. Why is it an effective creature you ask? Try taking a fly through the Redwood Biome and you will soon see why this animal is a PvP contender.
- Thylacoleo can climb sheer surfaces (like large Red Wood trees and cliffs) but it also comes equipped with both a pounce and a grab. It uses these abilities to knock riders off their flying mounts, dragging them to the floor and pinning them down for what seems like an eternity (or at least until either the cat or one of the numerous Red Wood Biome's hazards ends it for you).
- Pair it with your favourite Rex and you have the perfect ambush waiting to happen.
Microraptor Gnarilongus is a small but deadly threat that can be used to dismount riders, leaving them susceptible to attack
- We all know that ARK is dangerous on foot so any creature that has the ability to dismount a rider is dangerous but the Microraptor is more than that because once tamed, a rider can carry the small beast on shoulder and launch it at enemies to do dismounts on the fly
- Paired up with some stronger creatures, their ability to dismount riders is an effective way to neutralise enemies hiding out on Rexes or other large carnivores
Therizinosaurus multiensis are versatile gatherers that can replace a wide range of other tames
- Arguably one of the strangest looking creatures currently roaming the ARK, the Therizinosaurus is one of the most versatile creatures currently available and, combined with a fairly decent DPS, fast attack speed and armour shredding claws, the Therizino is a formidable enemy but invaluable ally
- Need a wood/thatch/rare mushroom harvester? No problem – use your right click attack
- Need a fibre/silk gatherer/organic polymer? No problem – use your right click attack
- Need a chitin/berry/hide? No problem – use your C ability
- Need a battle dino? No problem – the Therizino's primary attack hits twice with every click and each hit deals damage to enemies. The Therizino also deals damage to both rider and dino, making it even more formidable in battle. Their bite (C ability) also inflicts a slight torpor effect, making it even more effective when fighting smaller creatures as you can inflict torpor on a rider directly (as long as he is lower than the Therizino)
- Another upside to the Therizino's harvesting is the ability to upgrade it's gathering abilities independently
- Need to concentrate on wood/meat gathering? Level up Power Harvesting
- Need to concentrate on berry/chitin/polymer? Level up Delicate Harvesting
- The one downside to this strange creature is that it is a herbivore and thus cannot heal through the use of meat (although if you are able to make sweet veggie cakes these can be used to heal your mount in combat, albeit with a bit more work than meat)
Baryonx Aquafulgur, the semi-aquatic stun-lock dino can be used to effectively gather bio-toxins to help tame the most powerful of creatures
- Another relatively new addition, the Baryonx is a fairly weak dinosaur on land, however, once in the water, it becomes a formidable threat. Using it's tail-spin attack, the Baryonx can dismount and temporarily stun enemy riders, leaving them helpless in the water.
- Due to the ranged nature of the tail-spin, the Baryonx is an effective Cnidaria (jellyfish) killer and can be used to harvest large amounts of valuable bio-toxins in a relatively easy manner
- While weak on land, the ability to go on land without hassle means you can easily store your aquatic creature in a normal base instead of having to contend with the hazards of building and maintaining a water base
In terms of in-game items, there have not been very many exciting additions to vanilla ARK (unless you happen to be one of the few lucky tribes that can contend with the Bosses for Tek Tier) however, with the adoption of the ARK Sponsored Mod Program, I have seen an increase in the number of servers running Structures Plus – one of my favourite MODS and a deal-breaker when looking for a new server. As such, here are some handy features of Structures Plus (S+) that you may find to be potential game changers:
- True no collision building
- All items can be picked up – want to ensure a safe base while logged off? Drop that vault in front of your front door when you log off and simply pick it when you are ready to play again
- S+ Item Collector – Make better use of the Achatina limusegnis' (snail) cement-paste excreting ability with the S+ Item Collector which collects poop, unfertilized eggs and snail paste
- S+ Feeding Trough – aside from keeping your army fed the S+ Feeding Trough also proves a boon in breeding. Once imprinted, players can now leave their baby creatures un-tended (aside for imprinting) as the S+ unit will actively hand-feed any babies in the area
- S+ Resource Puller Gun – easily pull any available resources (within the gun's quite large radius) into any crafting table (even tables not part of the S+ mod)
- All gas burning structures can be switched to run off electricity, reducing your gasoline usage
- The ability to place pipes and wires inside foundations for protection
- Dynamic, flexible pipes & wires that will connect nearby pipes & wires (for linking up separate grids that wouldn't fit a normal pipe/wire
Have you discovered a creature/feature recently that you feel changed the way you play ARK (Therizino I love you so) and, if you aren't currently playing on a server without Structures Plus… wait, why aren't you playing on a server with Structures Plus?

A/N: So, here's another fic. I've already have this one all planned out, and it's going to be about four chapters. Nothing too long, each chap about this length. Please enjoy!
Warnings: Adult Situations
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!
The place was almost empty, but Yugi didn't care. It's not like he really wanted to be in a buzzing place at the moment anyway. He was happy for the silence.
Sitting down in one of the stools, the third year college student ordered what he wanted, paid the man and took generous sips.
It had been two years since what happened. Yet he could still not shake it off, even with all of the therapy he was getting. His best friend Jou was supporting in every way, but it wasn't enough to get him out.
So he decided to drown every thing out with a couple of beers every now and then. He wouldn't hammer himself though, well, unless he was feeling unusually down. Thankfully he wasn't tonight.
Taking another gulp of his drink, Yugi's ears suddenly perked when he heard someone sit beside him and start talking to the lonely bartender. He unexpectedly was thrown into the small conversation.
"Hey, kid, you like football?" asked the bartender, and Yugi fidgeted as two pairs of eyes set on him.
Turning ever so slightly, he searched out the bartender in front of him, smiling a bit. "A little, not so much to go nuts over it though," he answered.
The portly man shook his head; obviously he couldn't find anyone with the same interest. He waved his hand and headed into the back to do whatever, leaving Yugi and the man next to him alone.
"You're not a football fan either then," the man said with a wry smile. "I'm Atemu." He held out his hand for Yugi to shake.
Yugi blinked, trying to figure out what just happened. Inwardly shaking his head, he put on a fake smile, and took the hand. "Yugi."
Atemu took his hand firmly, shaking it for five seconds. "Nice to meet you, Yugi," he said, his smile widening. "What are you doing here? The place is nearly empty."
Shrugging, Yugi answered back, "Probably the same reason you're here."
Atemu chuckled unexpectedly, making Yugi jump a little in his seat. "Yeah."
They both stayed silent, and Yugi took the opportunity to take the stranger in. Amazingly, they looked like they could be long lost brothers. Their hair was basically the same except for a couple of the blonde streaks, and Yugi could tell that Atemu was only a couple inches above him.
The man was wearing casual clothes, nothing too special. Just some slacks and a jacket; just like him.
"So..." Atemu began. "What exactly are you doing here anyway?"
Yeah, like he'd open everything up to this guy. "Just having a couple drinks," Yugi answered rather flatly, fingering his glass on the counter.
The other seemed to understand that he didn't want to really say what it was, and Yugi was surprised to see the other express that. "How about you?"
Atemu leaned back against air answering, "Like you said before, same reason you are."
Why the heck was he talking to this guy anyway? Yugi wondered. This guy was some stranger that had nothing to do with his life, and could in no way understand it even if it were explained to him. Yugi wanted to leave. But then again, he didn't.
There was something about this guy that made him feel a little better. He couldn't place it; was it the way he talked? Body language? Maybe it was all in his head. All he knew was that somewhere deep inside, Yugi immediately felt that he could trust the other with his life.
"Do you want another drink?" Atemu interrupted his thoughts again, startling him a little.
Shaking his head, Yugi said, "I lied. I only came out for one drink tonight."
Nodding at the confession, Atemu let his elbow rest on the counter beside him. Although they hadn't talked much about anything, he could feel that Yugi would be interesting to talk to overall.
Two hours later, and Yugi was laughing all over himself. No, he hadn't lied again, but Atemu was telling the most hilarious jokes. Yugi couldn't help himself as he doubled over in laughter, his gut clenching so hard it was starting to hurt.
Hands came around him, and Yugi didn't mind them as they helped him back up, soothingly rubbing against his aching abdomen, trying to loosen the muscles up.
Wiping the tears from his eyes, Yugi thanked the man. Atemu wasn't half as bad as he first suspected. The two had immediately become friends.
So far, Yugi had learned that the other was a graduating college student this year, being only twenty-four years of age; one year older than Yugi. Unfortunately though, they didn't go to the same college.
Unlike him, Atemu had said that he was going out to be a reporter of some sort. He had told Atemu that he was hoping to be a successful artist.
Heaving a sigh, Yugi leaned back against the counter, trying to collect his thoughts back. He had also figured out that Atemu was able to read him very well, understanding everything he had to say. Not that he had said anything yet though.
Suddenly, a hand was on his thigh and Yugi flinched, but not noticeable enough for Atemu. "You know, you're very pretty."
He blushed despite himself, trying not to let Atemu see. He knew that the other wasn't drunk or anything, so that meant Atemu meant every word of that statement. "No, I'm not."
Confusion washed over Atemu at the harsh words. "Yes you are, to me you are," he tried. Man, had he fallen hard over this kid. He let his hand sink down to Yugi's knee, and this time he noticed a shake.
Taking his hand off the other carefully, Atemu tried to see what was wrong. Yugi was fine just two minutes ago; did he say something to upset the other?
"You shouldn't lie to people," Yugi suddenly said, and Atemu stood up astonished at the statement. How could this beauty of all things say that he was not pretty? He wasn't lying.
He knew from the start that Yugi was shaky about something, and Atemu wanted to find out. He wouldn't force it out, but he was willing to wait for anything. Carefully, he cupped the other's face, tilting Yugi's head up so that they met eye to eye.
"You are the most beautiful person I've ever met. How could you say such a thing?" he said gently, looking for some kind of answer in the other's amethyst eyes.
Yugi was quiet for a long time, trying to think of an answer as to why he had said what he said. He stared up into confused crimson eyes. "I don't know...I just..." He let his eyes slip close as he slid off the stool.
Unconsciously, he let himself go up onto tiptoes as he hesitantly pressed his lips against Atemu's. He hadn't felt this way about another in... no, he just trusted Atemu. He hadn't been able to trust in a long time.
Yugi became a little eager once he felt Atemu comply and press back, silently massaging his lips with his tongue, asking for entrance. Yugi let his mouth fall open as the two engaged, fighting over dominance.
Pulling back, Yugi panted. Atemu was the first to speak, although he too was out of breath.
"Do you..." the taller started, "Want to come back...to my place?"
He didn't mean to hesitate, but he had to think it through for a second. If he complied, who knows what would happen, but just from spending two hours with Atemu, Yugi knew he could fully trust the other. He wanted to keep that trust for as long as possible.
"I trust you."
Yugi rolled over groggily, wondering where he was as he wiped the sleep from his eyes. This definitely wasn't his room. Rolling back over, he was suddenly reminded of where he was exactly when he spotted Atemu.
Sitting up in the bed, Yugi realized he was naked and he quickly searched out for his scattered clothes. Pulling them back on as noiselessly as possible, Yugi tried to think of why he did such a stupid thing.
What the heck did he do? He knew he wasn't drunk, so what happened? Yugi raked his brain as he pulled his shoes on, but he couldn't find a good enough reason as to why he did what he did last night.
Then it came to him. That stupid trust thing! Why did he trust this guy? They only knew each other for two hours tops, and Yugi let himself be led back to this guy's apartment. How low could he get?
Finding everything that he had brought, Yugi glanced back at the bed where Atemu was still peacefully sleeping. Biting his lip, Yugi was painfully reminded that he had fallen for the other, and that was what made him go into that whole trust thing.
Shaking his head, he headed out of the apartment, and back home.
A couple hours later, Atemu awoke with a start as his alarm clock noisily rang out. He sighed as he felt the other side of the bed empty.
He didn't get it. He had thought that Yugi trusted him. He even said it before they ended back up here. But then he remembered how he was trying to figure out what was going on before he and Yugi became close.
Getting out of bed, he found some boxers and sweats and he pulled them on. It was too bad that he only got Yugi's first name and nothing else. He wanted to know if he did anything wrong. He wanted to help the other out with whatever caused him to run away.
Shuffling around his bed, he suddenly became aware of a jacket sticking out from under his bed. Pulling it out, he realized that it was Yugi's. He quickly searched for anything that would enable him to return it, and he became excited when he found a small card with Yugi's name on it, address and all.
A/N: Um...I'm hoping that this is coming out the way I have it written in summary in my notebook. Hopefully it is. Thanks for reading and please review!

Your spacecraft is in a circular, geostationary orbit around earth and you would like to fly to the moon. Draw a suitable Hohmann transfer orbit that will get you there. How long does the journey take? (Neglect the gravitational fields of the moon and the sun for this problem, approximate the lunar orbit by a circle and consider an ideal transfer orbit.)
A geosycnchronous orbit is one with a period equal to the earth's rotational period, which, contrary to popular belief, is 23hr-56min-4.09sec., not 24 hours. Thus, the required altltude providing this period is ~22,238.64 miles, or ~35,787.875 kilometers. The orbital velocity of satellites in this orbit is ~10,088.25 feet per second or ~6,877 MPH. The point on the orbit where the circular velocity of the launching rocket reaches 10,088.25 fps, and shuts down, is the point where the separated satellite will remain.
The required Hohman Transfer velocity to transfer from the geostationary orbit to the lunar orbit, a mean distance of 239,000 miles away, is 13,544fps. The spacecraft will arrive at the lunar orbit with a velocity of 3340fps, taking ~136 hours to get there.
Sufficient propulsion capability will be needed to execute an orbital plane change of from ~18.5º to 28.5º.

Even the most independent seniors can struggle with bathroom safety. Slippery floors, tubs, and showers are dangerous for people of any age, and seniors especially need to be cautious when they are in the bathroom. One of the best ways to ensure senior independence and safety in the bathroom is to make modifications so that the bathroom is better suited to the seniors' needs and abilities. Modifications actually promote senior independence and prevent accidents. We recommend a few of the most helpful modifications to improve accessibility and adaptability.
Preventing Slips in the Tub
Stepping in and out of the tub can be a daunting task for seniors. To make transitioning into the tub a little easier, consider installing a product that would help to prevent slips and falls. Rubber suction grip mats, adhesive strips, or an anti-slip surface material are three popular products for the bottom of the tub. Installing grab bars on the side of the tub or shower is one safety option for seniors who have mobility issues or who are at risk of slips and falls in the bathroom. Coupling grab bars with an anti-slip product can greatly reduce the risk of falls for your aging loved ones.
A bathtub or shower seat is another bathroom modification for seniors who have a difficult time standing for long periods of time or who have poor balance or general weakness. Most shower seats are constructed of durable plastic, while some include padded vinyl for extra comfort. Shower seats come in several options, including those with and without backs, those that are adjustable for height, and those that feature slip-resistant rubber feet. Heavy-duty shower seats also are available for seniors who need a seat that can accommodate more weight.
Adding Convenience to the Shower
If you've modified the shower with a shower seat or bench, another modification is to install a handheld shower for convenience. Handheld showers are within a senior's reach, and they allow older adults to control the flow of water more easily than a traditional shower head, which generally is mounted near the top of the shower. Most handheld showers attach to an existing shower arm for easy installation, and others can be more permanently installed with a diverter valve. Handheld showers that are installed with diverter valves allow for other family members to use the traditional shower head. Another option is to install a shower head/handheld shower combination so that you do not have to incur the expense of installing a diverter valve.
Modifying the Toilet
If the bathroom has a standard toilet, the seat may be too low for seniors who have difficulty bending, sitting, or standing up from a low seat. Raised toilet seats are available as a modification to help seniors be more independent and safe in the bathroom. Raised toilets are available for both standard round toilets and elongated toilets. Many include handles to aid seniors in standing and sitting to prevent sliding, slips, and falls.
Some seniors do not require raised seats, but do require toilet safety rails or grab bars for added security and stability when sitting down on or standing up from the commode. Most toilet safety rails easily attach to the toilet, and some are adjustable for height and width. Seniors have more confidence when transferring to and from the toilet when they can hold on to and push down on a toilet safety rail.
Preventing accidents for seniors in the bathroom is not as difficult as it may seem, if you make a few simple modifications to meet their needs. Consider their weaknesses and the bathroom areas that pose problems for them, and then make modifications to prevent serious accidents. You'll likely increase their confidence and sense of security at the same time.

St. Nicholas Episcopal Church, which hosts The Paradoxy Center, is a young and growing congregation serving the Darnestown-Germantown-North Potomac area of Montgomery County, Maryland, a member congregation of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, The Episcopal Church, and part of the Worldwide Anglican Communion.
An incarnational Christian community and the first successful start-up congregation in the Diocese of Washington in more than 40 years, St. Nicholas Church was formed from the remnants of a previous attempt at a church plant in our area, which grew fast but foundered and fragmented in a fight over orthodoxy and who had the power define and enforce it. Informed by the death of this previous congregation, the new start-up team was determined to find a WAY of being Christian that transcended "us/them" divisions over doctrine or practice: a radical new middle way, so anchored by the love of Christ that all other considerations were secondary.
In the a decade and a half that we have journeyed along this new middle way, our congregation has not only survived but thrived, becoming a model for other churches in our diocese. With that in mind, the congregation encouraged me, its founding pastor, to find ways of sharing what we have learned about incarnational Christian community with a wider audience, first by condensing our learning into a book and then through direct consultation.
The book was eventually published under the title Paradoxy: Creating Christian Community Beyond Us and Them and our consulting practice eventually grew into The Paradoxy Center.

The Holy Spirit or The Political Spirit Part 1
December 2, 2014
As I went before the Lord in prayer recently, it occurred to me that the same political spirit that governs our nation is often found in the body of Christ! Although we may be disgusted with politics in Washington, it is my belief that the Church has the greater influence! In order to have the transforming power to influence our nation; we must first deal with the political spirit that so often governs Church life! Unless this spirit is unmasked and the Spirit of truth becomes our guiding light, it will seek to establish it's rule and control the coming move of God.
What is a Political Spirit?
A political spirit seeks to influence the belief system of a group of people and those that have influence. Even in the face of its ill-fated fruit, it will masquerade as truth. Those under its influence believe they are doing right with a view that their ways are properly aligned with God. Thus, it is cast before the people as truth- a light that appears to be right, just and wise. Unless "The Truth" is from the Lord, (for the truth is in Jesus Eph. 4:21) the results are a counterfeit spiritual authority carried out by those in authority. This doesn't mean that we eliminate authority in the Church, as that would leave a vacancy for false spiritual authority to rule. At the core of true spiritual authority is the heart of the Father and His love with a heart passion to serve the people. The results is established Kingdom life with divine order where people are seated in Christ as God has set each one in the Church as it has pleased Him (1 Cor. 12:18).
A tabernacle of glory where the vision and purpose of the Church arise from the heart of the Father implemented by the five-fold ministries of Christ whose purpose is to equip the saints for the work of ministry. A house of faith where the people are unified by His love that work together under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, who is the head of the Church (Eph. 4:15-16) that Christ may fill His body with all of Himself as the "All in All" (Eph. 1:23). Where Christ rules peace prevails.
The political spirit works in tandem with the religious spirit, which is rooted in spiritual pride. Under the banner of "righteousness," it has no problem pointing out the shortcoming and failures of others in order to elevate and affirm its own position. Even if the fruit brings discord and strife among the brethern, it is viewed as righteous judgment. The power behind this is the deception of the accuser of the brethren. So much so, that Christians believe that God is actually using them. Thus, under the banner of self-righteousness, they march forward believing their works are ordained of God.
A person under the influence of a political spirit will adamantly base their views upon Scripture to validate their position. While at the same time overlooking the Scriptures and the power of the Spirit in the effort to prevent conflict and offending anyone. Their goal is to gain the peoples trust which leads to compromise. This might seem noble and just, but being selective in Scripture offends the Holy Spirit. Thus, the spirit of being "politically correct" is the same spirit that desires to be "religiously proper." What appears to be freedom is often Biblically disguised as "decency and order. " Although we do need to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves, the wisdom from above is peaceable and easy to be entreated, full of mercy that bears good fruit (James 3:17). The question is, what is our intention, motive and purpose? Is it pure that works by love or is it self seeking with the intent of self preservation with personal ambition?
When men establish their rule they are driven to manipulate in order to retain their authority. Rather than establishing the Government of Heaven, those under its influence will seek to establish a Church government run by men that compel others to serve a system based on obedience and performance. By it's nature, it creates an atmosphere void of creativity that quenches the liberty and power of the Spirit!
With intellectual persuasion, this spirit offers convincing ideals that are appealing. It can be theatrical in its presentation, intellectually convincing and emotionally moving. Even if it requires manipulation to establish control, it will navigate the people with Scripture and common sense reasoning in order to implement it's influence. In essence, this spirit takes the place of the Holy Spirit who speaks to the heart of men where the voice of the Lord is heard and received by those who love Him and His Truth. Those who serve Him because of their love for Him do so freely because their hearts are for Him!
Fearing those who walk by faith, the voice of a political spirit is often shrewd and artfully contrived. Calling for "submission to authority "it determines the logical course of a Church calling it godly counsel. Sadly, far too many are more concerned about running for office, promoting their spirituality and running campaigns in order to promote their agenda. Because of this, those who are truly seeking the reality of the Kingdom of heaven become discourage and disillusioned. It's Church politics and it's frustrating. All to often, those who are thirsty for Christ and His Truth and the joy of His fellowship, run into this divisive tactic. It is for this reason that many will refrain from attending a Church. The loss is great because many who are called that truly desire to serve, under the reign of a political or religious spirit, are unable to do so. Everyone is called and all are needed! There is nothing more fullfiling and life giving, than those who flow in the Spirit as they are gifted and called.
So often what is called ministry are Church activities void of the power and presence of God. When ministries are offered that determine what the people need, rather than leading people to a supernatural experience, a religious system has established itself in the Lord's place. Kingdom life is not what we do but who we are. Our life does not evolve around Church culture and events, for our life is IN Christ "In whom we LIVE, MOVE and have our BEING" (Acts 17:28). Being a Christian is the marriage between the natural and the supernatural.
Christ is King of His Kingdom! His Kingdom reveals the light, love and light through His creation that reveals His glory on earth. True Kingdom life demonstrates the resurrection life and power of Christ. The evidence of His Kingdom is peace and joy IN the Spirit that visibly radiates upon the face of His people. "For the Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy In the Spirit.' Where Christ rules there is the nature of His Kingdom in demonstration of the Spirit.
His Glory or Ours?
Likewise, there are also many ministries operating in the realm of the Spirit where Christ is moving in the midst of His people. These are Goshen's, watering holes of His presence. Bethels where there is an open heaven! It is the awesome presence of the Lord that ministers to the people that testifies of a truth that the Lord is in their midst with signs and wonders. Testimonies abound when the transforming power of heaven invades lives that cause people to testify of His healing power and goodness. This is the voice; the testimony that we need to hear that builds faith and proclaims to the world that Jesus is real!
Jesus did not come to seek His own glory or His own honor, but the glory and honor of His Father in heaven (John 8:50, 54). When we exalt ourselves seeking for recognition and honor, we have fallen from grace and our true place of authority that is in Him. Jesus taught those who seek for the glory of men are not true, but those who seek God's glory are faithful and true.
It was the works that Jesus did in the power of the Spirit that the Father gave witness that Jesus was sent by Him (John 5:31-36). To see Jesus is to see the Father and that too is our call – to reveal the Father that others may see and know Him. In this we are honored before others by our heavenly Father. Jesus said, " If a man serve Me, let Him follow Me, and where I am, there shall my servant be: if any man serve Me, him will my Father honor" (John 12:26).
The Dawn of New Era
Change is here. Now is the time and this is the day! You can tell by the voice of the people, they have a holy thirst for the living waters of Christ that brings life. This is the hand of God calling many to rise up and come to Him where they will overflow with rivers of living water (Rev. 2:22:1-2). In turn, they will become like a well-watered garden from which fountains spring forth that gives life to the thirsty (See Is. 58:11). People are ready for change and they shall have it – Him!
We are at the dawn of a new era. I have had visions of a fresh baptism of fire coming to the Church. To those who are prepared and ready, they will receive an impartation of His glory. In preparation for this outpouring, the Holy Spirit is moving to cleanse our belief system that has held so many captive to organized religion and the doctrines of men. The results will be a transition from the way we have done Church life to Kingdom life. Church is not what we do, but who we are as the bride of Christ. As a new creation of His Kingdom, we are empowered as manifest sons / daughters to reveal heaven on earth in the power of the Spirit. It's time that we demonstrate the reality of the Kingdom.
A transformation is taking place. Like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, the Church is about to soar in the freedom of the Spirit. Through this process, the Church will emerge as the bride she is called to be. Free of the institutions and doctrines that have kept her in spiritual slavery, she will advance with the gospel of HIS KINGDOM. Then we shall see nations transformed by a people that rise and shine with the light of His glory. It is the light of His glory that becomes visible upon His people, that will attract many to the light of their rising (See Is 60"1-3).
As for our house, we are determined to press forward in a culture of honor. Our passion is to fulfill the high calling of God! Without compromise or to gain personal influence, or to appease the fearful, or to make others feel more comfortable at the expense of compromise that quenches the Spirit, our call is to stand before Him to be unified with His heart to fulfill His purpose on earth as in heaven. We are zealous for the abiding glory of His fellowship and we shall have it.
Those who are aligned with God in heaven are now aligning with one another on earth. An army is rising with the King of glory in their midst and He will lead them. Who is the King of glory David asked? "The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.. the Lord of Host, He is the King of glory!" (Ps 8,10).
As I recently heard, these are the hidden ones that are in plain sight. It takes the mantle of humility to see them! The call is to "Rise and shine for your light has come" (Is. 60:1).
In His heart and love – Roy Roden

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Jean Chrétien today signed a climate change Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC). It sets out key elements of a climate change agreement between the Government and the pulp and paper industry, including a commitment by the industry to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity by an average of 15 percent by 2008 to 2012, the first Kyoto commitment period.
The Prime Minister was joined at the event by Herb Dhaliwal, Minister of Natural Resources Canada; David Anderson, Minister of the Environment; and Avrim Lazar, President and CEO of FPAC.
The MoU marks the first agreement with industry to implement the strategy set out in theClimate Change Plan for Canada released last November. It outlines an approach that the pulp and paper industry will take to reduce GHG emissions to achieve its share of the 55-megatonne commitment for Canada's large final emitters.
"Climate change is a challenge we all share, and we all have a responsibility to do our part," said Prime Minister Chrétien. "This partnership with pulp and paper companies is a blueprint for how we can work with industry to make real progress in implementing theClimate Change Plan for Canada."
"The pulp and paper industry is a large and diverse sector that forms a vital part of the Canadian economy. With the signing of this agreement, it is demonstrating continuing leadership on climate change and sustainable development," said Minister Dhaliwal. "For our part, this agreement signals the Government of Canada's intention to take an integrated approach to climate change policies as they apply to the forestry sector and to provide maximum flexibility in achieving real reductions."
"Partnership, and the need for all sectors and all Canadians to play a part, are fundamental principles of the Climate Change Plan for Canada," said Minister Anderson. "Through its success in reducing emissions in the past, and with this renewed commitment, Canada's pulp and paper industry is showing it is determined to be a full partner with Canadians in pursuing our national environmental goals."
According to Avrim Lazar, President and CEO of FPAC, the agreement represents "an extension of our industry's long-term commitment to continuous environmental improvements. While we've led Canadian industry in emissions reductions for more than a decade, we are willing to go further in helping Canada meet its Kyoto commitments." Mr. Lazar added that Canada's forest industry has already reduced its GHG emissions by 22 percent below 1990 levels, while increasing its output by 21 percent.
The agreement covers companies with operations in every region of Canada involved in the production of pulp, newsprint, paperboard and other paper products. It recognizes the unique structure of the industry, including the integrated nature of the production of solid wood products and pulp and paper within many companies.
The guiding principles in the agreement are consistent with government commitments to industry made in the Climate Change Plan for Canada. The agreement addresses a number of key areas, including emissions reductions for the first commitment period, designing ways to assess early actions by industry leaders, greater reliance on low-emissions energy sources like biomass and combined heat and power (co-generation), future incentives to increase research and development in carbon-reducing technologies, and a policy framework to recognize the benefits of investments in long-term forest management in meeting Canada's climate change objectives.
The agreement recognizes that an effective compliance system will need to be designed. This system should provide flexibility, and include emissions permit trading, forest "sinks" and forest management and production activities. The parties will work together to better understand the impact of forest management practices on carbon and Canada's national accounting of GHG emissions.
The agreement provides a blueprint for action in which the Government will work closely with the participating pulp and paper companies to respond to the challenge of climate change.
Under the Climate Change Plan for Canada, large final emitters are to reduce their GHG emissions by 55 megatonnes. This amounts to a 15-percent reduction in emission intensities from the Government's business-as-usual forecast for 2010. Large final emitters are companies that produce goods in emissions-intensive sectors, including energy, electricity and selected mining and manufacturing. Discussions will continue with other industry sectors.
