BIRTHMARKS of a CHRISTIAN
HOW to be CERTAIN of YOUR SALVATION
1 JOHN is a good read
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 1 Peter 1:23
As we carefully read through 1 John, we notice a five-fold argument for the assurance of salvation, birthmarks of the Christian.
The first is the birthmark of confession, described in 1 John 5:1: Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. Before you can have assurance of salvation, you have to believe and be saved. You have to confess Jesus Christ as Lord. Some people assume they are saved because they grew up in a Christian culture, or they have gone to church all their lives, or they have been baptized, or they have tried to live a good life. Yet theyve never distinctly and personally confessed Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.
The Bible teaches that we are sinners, separated from God by a sinful nature. We can never earn, buy, or climb our way into heaven. By our own efforts or goodness, we can never be saved. Thats why God became a man who lived a wholly righteous life, died on the cross, shed His blood for us, and rose from the dead. He paid our penalty, took our judgment upon Himself, and He offers us the opportunity to be born again.
If the first birthmark is our confession of Christ as our Savior and Lord, the second is a changed life, as we see in 1 John 2:29: If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. When Jesus truly saves us, it makes a difference in how we think, act, speak, and conduct ourselves. The Bible says, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17).
As we begin learning to practice righteousness, our habits change. We will not be sinlessly perfect while were on this planet; but if were Christians, we need to behave like Christians. If we say were saved but nothing has changed about us, something is wrong. We are not saved by good works, but we are saved for good works, and the Gospel is a transforming agent in our lives.
(Hating sin is still compassion)
Those who are truly saved also bear the birthmark of compassion. How can you know that you are a Christian? By what you believe, by how you live, and by whom you love. Love is a recurring theme in 1 John, and the apostle leaves no doubt about how it permeates the lives of true Christians. Beloved, he wrote, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.. . . . We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. (1 John 4:7; 3:14).
Do you love your brothers and sisters in the family of God? Those who are truly saved are those who enjoy and bless the household of faith, the family of God.
A fourth sign of being truly saved is conflict. According to 1 John 5:4, For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. The word overcome implies a struggle. Were faced with an adversary whom we must overcome. Our adversary is identified in 1 John 2:14 as the wicked one: I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. John went on in the next verses to say: Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (1 John 2:15-17).
When youre genuinely born of God, youll be growing to be an overcomer as you deal with the temptations around youthe world, the flesh, and the devil. You may not be victorious over every temptation every time, but youll make progress in gaining more victories and losing less battles as you grow stronger in Christ and in the power of the abiding Word of God.
That leads to the final point I want to make: We can see evidence for the validity of salvation in our desire to conduct ourselves in a way that pleases God. According to 1 John 3:9, Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
If were not careful, we might interpret this verse to teach that anyone who is born of God never sins. That would conflict with other passages in the Bible that describe us as fallible and often failing.
In 1 John 3:9, the word for sin is a present active infinitive and it describes a continuous action. John is not saying that whoever sins once is not born of God. That would disqualify all of us. It would certainly disqualify me. But John is saying, in effect, Whoever keeps on willfully sinning, violating Gods law with stubborn disregard and ongoing wickedness, cannot have assurance of salvation.
If we are truly saved, we will grieve over our sins, confess them, and seek Gods grace to do better.
His grace is inexhaustible and His salvation is irreversible. Make sure you have confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and then trust Him with your eternal future. He will never leave you or forsake you. His Word was given that you might know Jesus Christ as your Savior and that you might know that you have eternal life.
You can have assurance of salvation today. source
* Beware, there are many sincere beliefs that lead to hell
We will add a #6 to this excellent list in that a born-again believer can know they are saved because they believe Gods word in the Bible. Unsaved people cannot believe Gods word and have it functioning in their lives because God says that it only works in them that believe. For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. 1 Thessalonians 2:13.
Unsaved people will often quote from the Bible for social, political or financial gain, but if someone is not a born again believer it will have no effect in their lives. Theres no repentance, no testimony of a new life, no victory over sin or even acknowledgement of the sin in their lives. Belief in what God has written is key, as Paul says in Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
When I got saved, Gods word went from a dusty book I almost never read to a treasure trove that continues to delight my soul 25 years after I first became born again. If you believe the Bible when you read it didnt say understand it all, I said believe then that is a rock-solid sign that you have become born again.

Things Christians Should Stop Doing on Social Media
(I do not fully agree with him, if they dont repent - call them out - publicly!)
Publicly calling people out on their sins or mistakes.
Its not your place to call other people out on their sins or mistakes, especially in public.
Christians already have a bad reputation in the land of judgment, and
the last thing we need is someone rebuking people via Twitter or Facebook.
If you really think its important, call them on the phone, or at least send them a private message.
Do us all a favor and stop your social judgment. There is no need to
publicly shame someone for something youre probably doing yourself.
Trying to explain theological doctrine in 140 characters or less.
Theology is a subject that was never meant to be paraphrased, half-hearted, or partially explained. Take the time to write a blog post or even make a podcast.
Dont try and manipulate Biblical doctrine to fit in the form of 140 characters or less.
Gods word deserves to be drawn out, elaborated, and explained in a plethora of words.
Nuggets of partial truth will never be more fulfilling than a plate filled with the whole meal.
Getting into arguments on Facebook or Twitter.
Nobody wants to see your drama show up on their news feeds.
Maturity plays a big role in using social media. So if you claim to be a Christian,
then please keep your drama, arguments, and bickering to yourself.
The last thing someone wants to see a Christian do is argue behind the safety
of a computer screen. Its not worth your time, nor does anyone else want to see it.

The Loneliness of the Christian
by A. W. Tozer
The loneliness of the Christian results from his walk with God in an ungodly world, a walk that must often take him away from the fellowship of good Christians as well as from that of the unregenerate world. His God-given instincts cry out for companionship with others of his kind, others who can understand his longings, his aspirations, his absorption in the love of Christ; and because within his circle of friends there are so few who share his inner experiences he is forced to walk alone.
The unsatisfied longings of the prophets for human understanding caused them to cry out in their complaint, and even our Lord Himself suffered in the same way.
The man [or woman] who has passed on into the divine Presence in actual inner experience will not find many who understand him. He finds few who care to talk about that which is the supreme object of his interest, so he is often silent and preoccupied in the midst of noisy religious shoptalk. For this he earns the reputation of being dull and over-serious, so he is avoided and the gulf between him and society widens.
He searches for friends upon whose garments he can detect the smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia out of the ivory palaces, and finding few or none he, like Mary of old, keeps these things in his heart.
It is this very loneliness that throws him back upon God. His inability to find human companionship drives him to seek in God what he can find nowhere else."
From Man - The Dwelling Place of God
Chapter 39: "The Saint Must Walk Alone"
The "Church" leaders had the Light in front of them, in direct contact with them, and they heard Him regularly teach, and yet Peter tells us they REJECTED Him in every way and had Him killed.
I often marvel at these Scriptures:
1 Peter 2:4-7 (New King James Version)
The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People
4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,
Behold, I lay in Zion
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.[a]
7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient,[b]
The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone,[c]
The issue is one of faith, and a touching of the heart by the Holy Spirit. They had every chance to believe, but because of TRADITION amd FEAR they chose not to believe. I stand amazed. How could they miss it? How can we miss it now?
it is very sad to see how other people who called themselve "Christians' are walking so far away from God and dare to blame you for been so narrow minded, they take the Word of God and twist it and change it to serve their own personal agendas. I am so sick and tired of dealing with them, they are so blind that refused to accept the light as a false hope.

1 in 4 Believers Are 'Christians in Name Only (NOT saved from hell)
Changing the Face of Christianity Inc., a non-profit corporation dedicated to reversing negative Christian stereotypes, has released the results of a quiz designed to determine how well Christians live the teachings of Jesus Christ. Through the quiz, the organization found that one in four self-proclaimed Christians admit that they do not live according to Christ's teachings.
The anonymous assessment consisted of 10 multiple choice questions that returned a score to the participant at the end, which then indicated to that participant if he was 'Far from Christ," a "Worldly Christian," "A Good Christian," or a "Spiritually Mature Christian," which was the highest rank possible.
The responses, which were collected over a seven-month period from January 2011 to July 2011, indicated that 23.7 percent of Christians in the pool of over 2,000 questioned were classified as "Worldly Christians" or Christians in name only, as defined by R. Brad White, the founder of Changing the Face of Christianity Inc.
"When posed with a real world situation which tests their faith, they tend to do what the rest of the world does, instead of living as Jesus instructs," White said about "Worldly Christians."
"To be clear, these aren't 'bad' people. The score results suggest they think much more about themselves than they think about God and other people. Reading the Bible and praying aren't a common practice. These are people that you would probably be surprised to find are Christian, if it weren't for the cross around their neck. These people are in the sweet spot of where we need to do our work. We are here to walk along side them, love them, educate them, mentor them, and guide them into living their faith through their words and actions."
White said this is the group his organization is particularly eager to
help to put them back on the path to righteousness.
"We are currently piloting a revolutionary way of 'doing' Christian small groups, that helps Christians live their faith; a sign of Christian maturity," he said. "Instead of just doing Bible study after Bible study, our small groups platform gets people studying, serving, praying, praising, and enjoying their lives together."
Kids in Christian Classes Coming Out Less Christian
A two-year study of graduates from Catholic, Protestant and home schools found the choice of private education, when compared to public education, had significant effects on the students' academics, civics and faith but not necessarily the effects one might expect. For example, the study found, the adjusted net effect on students of private, Catholic schooling versus public schooling was to produce graduates even less likely to believe in moral absolutes, to respect the authority of the Catholic Church, to believe in the infallibily of Scripture or to condemn premarital sex. The study also discovered, for example, that "the stereotypical picture of the highly political right-wing Protestant Christian is false," finding that graduates of Christian schools are less engaged in politics than their peers, as measured by talking less about politics, participating less in campaigns and donating less to political causes.

Christianity is thriving in
Christianity is thriving in China. Even though sharing the gospel is illegal in the communist country, that hasn't stopped Christians from boldly proclaiming their faith.
CBN News recently joined one Chinese couple who are traveling the vast countryside to share the good news about Jesus Christ with their countrymen.
Duan Huilai said the images captured on his home video camera are proof that God is moving in China.
"This is the first time you are seeing pictures of Christians from the villages openly praising God," Huilai told CBN News.
Huilai, a Chinese evangelist, gave CBN News exclusive access to hours of video and pictures taken in dozens of locations across China.
The pictures show one thing in common: men and women of all ages being touched by the power of God.
"Everywhere I go, I meet people who are hungry for God and He is showing up," Huilai said.
Rural Life Challenging
Huilai and his wife are full-time evangelists. Since 2003, they've criss-crossed the Chinese countryside sharing the gospel.
"God called us to focus on the rural areas where life is often very difficult," Lin Aimin, Huilai's wife, said.
Difficult, yet simple in many ways. Huilai showed CBN News pictures of how people have been baptized in rural areas after they've accepted Christ into their lives.
"Sometimes I baptize them in a river," he explained. "Sometimes they are baptized in the back of a pickup truck. A couple of times I've conducted baptisms in the shower. Very often we just have to improvise."
Preaching Still Illegal
Sharing the gospel in China is still forbidden.
"I was arrested here a number of times," Huilai told CBN News as he pointed to a map of China.
Christian gatherings not sanctioned by the government are considered illegal.
"The government doesn't allow people who live in one city to travel to another city. We are mindful of the regulations," Huilai said.
Despite the government restrictions, China watchers say what's happening spiritually in the country is nothing short of remarkable.
"There are still masses of converts everyday in the countryside. It is very encouraging," said Peter, a man who has worked with China's so-called underground or house churches for decades. CBN News agreed to conceal Peter's identity to protect him.
"So many peasants in so many places are coming to Christ in large numbers," the man said, speaking from an undisclosed location.
"And the churches in many cases are maturing and getting beyond simple evangelism and reaching out to rural minority groups and unreached people groups," he said.

Before I was a Christian
At the age of 14 I was living with my dad in a little one-bedroom house. More or less it was a shack. My parents were separated. At the time my dad and I were living off a hundred dollars a week. Not much, but we made it. Both my parents really loved me, but it was many, many years later before I understood that. I had already chosen the wide path that leads to destruction. I was mad at my mom because she had kicked me out of her house . My favorite saying was "who cares." In my eyes it seemed like nobody cared. I was depressed most of the time, and hated being sober. So I would do whatever I could to keep away from reality, and get away from the feelings of hurt, fear, and rejection. As time went on I grew harder and harder. Life was rough, but I got by. One thing I will always remember was the bit of scripture my dad had taped to the cabinet over our table. It read, "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Somehow that scripture always stuck with me, and I knew all would be for nothing if I lost my own soul. I figured that since I believed that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins I was okay, and I put off getting serious with God. I decided I would deal with Him when I got everything else straightened out in my life. If I had only known that He was the only one that could straighten it out.
Mushrooms and acid (LSD) had become my drugs of choice, but I had my share of cocaine, marijuana, speed, ecstasy, and if there was a pill that would make me high I took that too. I could tell you all kinds of stories about all that, but this is the story of the most important things that ever happened to me.
When I was 23 and working for a huge company as a department manager. I had just gotten back from College Station where a group of us were up there helping another store out with inventory. I went out that same night to shoot some pool. I had a few beers, and then decided I wanted something else. So I went over to a friend's house and bought a few hits of acid, ate those and went home. I laid down and spent the next five or six hours reading book written by Hermann Hesse called "Demian." I don't recommend it. After reading this book I was terribly frightened. I had a vision of myself going to war, like at the end of the world or something like that, but I was on the side that was fighting against God, and all I had were a few rocks. I thought to myself, "what could I possibly do against God with a few rocks?" I realized I was fighting on the wrong side and it was not going to go well for me, at all. I had no idea of what to do. Panic and fear gripped me. I felt as though demons were trying to take hold of me to drag me to hell. I was fighting just to stay conscience. I feared that if I let go; I would go insane.
I tried to read the bible, but that seemed to intensify my fears. I searched through some tapes of sermons my mom had sent me.
I found one that sounded like what I needed. It was titled "What Happens when you quit Running Away From God?"
I put it in my stereo and listened. This gave me a little comfort.
I finally saw who I was in the light of who He is...
It was there, laying on the floor that I found the reason for living. There on the floor as I listened to that man preach, I began to see how desperately wicked I was, that my entire existence thus far was an abomination in the light of the Author of all creation. It was there on the floor that the grim truth was revealed to me. All the motives, intents, and desires of my heart were exposed before the Living God, the very nature of my being was spread out visible to the eyes of whom I must give account. I saw that I deserved the full sentence for my sins; that I had in full measure transgressed the Law of God. I realized that the only just punishment for my sin was to spend eternity damned, separated from God, in the scorching pits of fire and brimstone, where the closest thing to comfort is the waling and gnashing of teeth. I saw that this was the only way that justice could be fulfilled for my rebellion against God Almighty, for denying Him love and obedience, and declaring my independence from Him.
As I lay there on the floor it only seemed just and fair that I should go to hell. Oh, how I had grieved the Lord with my wayward living, with my lawlessness, treating Him as though he were part of some fairytale, living as though He were not real, and making myself out to be His enemy. I had loved the sins, which He so much hated. He had reached out to me so many times. He sent people to testify of His love for me, to bring me in as one of His own, but I had wanted nothing to do with Him. Instead I wanted to have my fill of eating and drinking and worldly pleasures. I wanted to do what I wanted to do and was not going to be dictated by God's law. I had found no place for God in my heart.
I laid there on the floor with the heavy pressure of God's judgement on my heart, facing the pits of hell. Oh, how I did not want to go! If only there was another way, if only there was something I could do, but there was nothing. It was inevitable, I was doomed this time I had gone too far. He was not going to let me go this time like times before. When I had told him I would never do it again. So many times I had found myself in a hopeless situation and cried out to God for help saying, "I'll stop, I'll never do it again just please help my this once." And he always helped me, but I never stopped I just kept on sinning. Then the wretched, blind, and naked soul that I was began to weep and sob. God knew all of my secret hidden thoughts, intents, and desires. Nothing was hidden from him. Oh, how ashamed I was! All I wanted to know was how to be saved from this miserable end.
The pastor on the tape was talking about repenting from sin and giving it up. I pleaded with God, "Oh, if I had only known the severity of the consequences of what I was doing," but I had known and I had still chosen the wide path that leads to destruction. God wanted me to give up my sin, but I loved my sin. The thought of me giving up all the things I had loved to do, the music, the drugs, the drinking, the smoking, the fornication, seemed impossible. It was my life. I knew no other way. It was time to give it up or suffer the consequences. God was not going to allow me to go on sinning like that any more. I chose to repent. I told Him, "You are Lord and I'll give it all up and do what ever you want me to," then I asked him to forgive me for all my evil ways.
Grace Grace Grace...
Then as I lay there on the floor still sobbing, I began to see the beauty and perfection of God's awesome Love for me. Light began to pierce the darkness of my heart, and a warm flood of emotions seized my body. The weight of conviction began to lift. It was there on the floor, tears streaming down my eyes that I saw the true reason for God sending his son into this world. It was for terrible, rotten, no good sinners like me. Jesus was beat, whipped, mocked, and spit upon. People laughed at him, pulled out his beard, impaled a crown of thorns on his head, and nailed him to a cross where his blood flowed freely. They crucified him even though he was innocent and He endured it all for the sake of sinners like me. That through his death I might gain the gift of life, he had paid the price for my sin and bore my iniquity on the cross at Calvary. He loved me that much. As this realization of this hit me I began to laugh with tears of joy. There was nothing I could have done to save myself from hell, but God had done something already. I realized it wasn't just believing about Him, but knowing Him and surrendering to his authority in submission. I finally really understood the old hymn, "Amazing Grace How Sweet the Sound That Saved a Wretch Like Me, I Once Was Lost but Now I'm Found Twas Blind but Now I See."
So now I ask you - where are you with God? Do you know Jesus? He said, "Not every one that says Lord, Lord,' will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but he that does the will of My Father. Many will say in that day, Did we not do all these wonderful things in Your name?' But He will say, Depart from me you workers of iniquity I never knew you.'" We are told in the Bible that "He who says, he knows God, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." We are also told, "Love not the world nor the things that are in the world, if any man love the things of the world, the love of the Father is not in him." Jesus has called us to give up our worldly lives and serve Him. Anything that you find more important than Jesus is an idol. Think about it. Is there anything that you wouldn't give up for Jesus? What about your house, your job, your car, friends, clothes, television, music, anything that you are not willing to give up is an idol, and you are not worthy to follow Him, until you lay it at His feet in submission. Our God is a jealous God, and will have no other gods before Him. A man cannot have two masters, either he will love one or hate the other. A friend of the world is an enemy of God. Jesus said, "He who saves his life will lose it, but he who loses his life for My sake shall save it."
We were bought with a price, we are not our own. God paid for us with the precious blood of his Son Jesus Christ. You are in complete rebellion against God until you quit playing god with your own life and put it back into the hands of Jesus to whom it belongs. As long as you keep rebelling against Jesus you are denying him the Glory, love and obedience he deserves. God hates sin, and all of your sin will be exposed before the light and be judged, unless you repent. For the wages of sin is death. Jesus said, "wide is the path that leads to destruction and many there be that follow it, but narrow is the way that leads to life and few there be that find it." Jesus is the Life, and the only way to Jesus is to repent from your sin, give it up, and let it go for good. Be obedient and do whatever Jesus tells you to. Jesus died for you, that you may have life eternal.
Revelation 21:8 reads:
"but the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murders, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have there part in the
lake that burns with fire and brimston
So what are you going to say on Judgement Day? What excuse will you give for your sin? I tell you, you will have no excuse for you have been warned.
It is time that you make a decision: are you going to serve the world and Satan, or Jesus and the Kingdom of God?

Greece Financial Crisis Opens Door for Gospel
PRAY for Greece and Christian ministries there.
The Greek government fell into chaos when Greece prime minister called for a referendum on a new debt deal.
There was a new agreement that updates the previous agreement that was approved, so that has to be approved by the Greek Parliament again.
Eurozone leaders agreed on a second financial rescue for Greece in return for more unpopular austerity.
The angry Greeks are unlikely to like this, so the PM wants a vote in January.
However, the revolt came from Greek lawmakers who planned a no-confidence vote.
There is a possibility of a government collapse, and Europe is alarmed.
Greece could spark a financial market panic that could hurt other shaky European economies.
Germany and France
are very upset because this undermines their efforts to save the euro, and Greeks dont care about the euro.
However, they dont realize the cost. The debt deal was meant to help Greece stay out of bankruptcy.
People are trying to leave Greece to pursue a better future. Thousands of Greeks have filed to immigrate to Australia and other countries.
The middle class started feeling the pressure as the cuts in salaries and heavy taxation increased.
BUT THE SITUATION is the SAME - WORLDWIDE!
PRAY for St. Luke and staff
The facility is under Greek public health system and depends on government payments for its financial well-being.
The Greek government owes the hospital a tremendous amount of money and needs help.
AMG (Christian ministry dealing with hospitals) Christians run St. Luke Hospital in Thessalonica and CosmoVision Center in Athens.
AMG continues to proclaim the gospel and the hope found in Christ. There is definitely a lot more interest in spiritual matters.
People are desperate. And when people get desperate, they tend to do a lot of soul searching, great opportunity to share the gospel.
The mobile medical unit can minister to Muslims in northern Greece.
Greece is a spiritual battleground
We need prayer for our leaders of the ministry, particularly St. Luke.
We need prayer for Greece, that God will work in the hearts of the people and the hearts of the leaders, and that there is a resolution.

What is Antinomianism?
A.W. Tozer said -
The Antinomians are Coming
Paths to Power, A.W. Tozer defined it this way.
Fundamental Christianity in our times is deeply influenced by that ancient enemy of righteousness, Antinomianism.
The creed of the Antinomian is easily stated:
We are saved by faith alone; works have no place in salvation; conduct is works, and is therefore of no importance.
What we do cannot matter as long as we believe rightly. The divorce between creed and conduct is absolute and final.
The question of sin is settled by the Cross; conduct is outside the circle of faith and cannot come between the believer and God.
Such in brief, is the teaching of the Antinomian.
And so fully has it permeated the Fundamental element in modern Christianity that it is accepted by the religious masses as the very truth of God.
is the doctrine of grace carried by uncorrected logic to the point of absurdity.
It takes the teaching of justification by faith and twists it into deformity."
CC wrote:
In layman's terms I would understand Tozer to say that the idea or doctrine of: so long as you got your ticket punched for the train to heaven, you can do whatever you want. Even if you commit murder you're still going to heaven. It translates into, some 50 odd years later, as "Easy Believeism".
So it would appear that Tozer was 100% correct in his assessment. What he saw starting in his time, is full blown and main stream in ours.
You've also touched on a salvation issue, whether or not one can be saved under "easy believeism", and may be viewed as a judgmental type issue, and shouldn't be discussed.
The word itself means "against law".
The movement was started "by John Agricola about the year 1538."
Yes I'd say Antinomianism is - as you put it - easy believism. Some say cheap grace.
There is a fine line to everything. Each person ought to be careful how they word what they post.
If they do, open discussion should be just fine.
We are to study to show ourselves approved unto GOD. ... And we are to share with one another the lessons HE teaches us.
The older are to teach the younger. The younger are to respect the older. (I am a Senior citizen.)
Antinomian would come to bear on OSAS / ES .. correct.
The Apostle Paul judge the man in sin in 1 Corinthians - and told that church to THROW HIM OUT.
To say - dont ever judge - is unbiblical.
For me to say - 'You' are going to hell - that would be outside any of our jurisdiction.
We are to follow Christ, His teachings, His written word.
We are to avoid even the appearance of Evil.
We are to live holy.
We are to love one another. There is no love if there is no Truth - no rebuke when warranted.
Yes the evils Tozer saw have become full blown today. True. There are so many false churches that they outnumber the true ones.
That is why so many Christians with a very close relationship to the LORD are unchurched.
I suspect many in today's churches will not be in heaven. Very sad thought.
I do not believe one is allowed to live in sin(s) after one becomes saved. Grace is given to the newly saved.
Jesus accepts us as we are - but He loves us too much to leave us there.

Post subject:
My sheep hear My voice, I know them and they follow me.
If they don't hear (obey) My voice, but prefer the doctrines of men then they aren't mine, they worship Me in vain, and I will not know them and they are not My sheep.
Titus 2
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say No to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age while we wait for the blessed hope, the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.
A Workman Approved by God
* 2 Timothy 2
Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have wandered away from the truth.
They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. Nevertheless, Gods solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: The Lord knows those who are his,a and, Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.
In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.
Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Dont have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lords servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.
Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.
Romans 12
I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship.
1 Chronicles 28:9
Acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.
I the LORD do not change. Malachi 3:6
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Hebrews 13:8

The 2014 Infiniti QX80 has a distinctive interior with seating for seven and a sense of priorities not seen seen past models; it's lower, slightly shorter, and significantly more refined than it ever has been.
The previous-generation QX was assembled in Mississippi next the Nissan Armada, but the current version of the model is built in Japan. It's hard to tell much of a difference in terms of interior space, though.
Behind the third-row seat, there's as much cargo room as you'd find in the trunk of a Ford Fusion. With the power-folding third-row seat down, Infiniti counts 95.1 cubic feet of storage space. Loading is simple enough, since the QX80 sits at least 2 inches lower than the previous model, and the power tailgate relieves lightweights and shorties from having to jump and hang on for closure.
The current QX is about three inches shorter overall than before, but the interior still sports luxurious front seats, plush chairs with power adjustments and plenty of space in all directions--except possibly at the knees, where bigger passengers might make contact with the QX's center console and its softly padded side. We're big fans of ventilated seats, and the QX80 offers them; they're excellent investments for drivers in the southern third of the U.S., where they relieve some of the burden put on the climate control.
Second-row seating is almost as ample, but three adults across won't be as comfortable in the standard configuration as they will if the owner opted for the no-charge bench seat. The buckets are nicer, though, and get a center console almost as useful as the deep bin between the front seats. The second-row seats also offer heating, and a new tip-forward setup is meant to make clambering into the third-row seat a little easier. In the end, that third-row seat just isn't useful for adults, but three children will be able to jump into it and find plenty of room for themselves and their backpacks.

LG Nexus 4 gets lost in a bar. Really.
0. phoneArena posted on 26 Oct 2012, 20:21
Following in the footsteps of the Apple iPhone 4 and Apple iPhone 4S, both of which ended up lost in a bar, the LG Nexus 4 was accidentally left at a bar in San Francisco and while the bartender didn't know what he had there, one of the patrons of the bar knew what it was and contacted Google...

That guy should have been more careful with his lg nexus 4, who knows what could have happened if it was months away from its official launch date, he would be doomed.

STFU, unless it has a shiny apple on it, is 6 months behind the curve, and costs twice what it's actually worth you never cared. Cut the bullsh*t.
I will give you props on ALMOST forming a complete, grammatically correct sentence though. Keep at it!

Why is this a big deal? we all know what the phone looks like.
43. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
It is an issue because Google seems to be making it an issue (firing the employee who lost it, threats against the person who found it, and, and, and). Of course, if I were in Google's position, I would probably do the same thing. The $ that is tied up in a product development effort is non-trivial, and they want to control every part of the process to maximize the successful launch.

why bar? why not some strip club???
56. ibap (Posts: 785; Member since: 09 Sep 2009)
OK folks, this is an old ploy. Bartender should have just turned the thing over to the police, instead of being nice about it.
Or if you're smart and really don't want the things outed, quit giving test phones to bozos that drink in bars.

Hell yeah. How else do you tailgate for sporting events? drinking all day lol
No but I want to now try it out
It's bliss I promise you. Especially if it's a hot summer morning and the beer is cold
Thanks for MHO
You're welcome
Have an opinion?
Life is passing you by
Never. I'm not into beer or alcohol in general.
I don't drink beer, so no.
I'm sorry to hear that
I never drank before work but when I smoked pot I'd get stoned then go to work.
Breakfast cones?
I'd say, rarely.
But not never?
Nope, never.
no I have never done that
Never in my life lol.
That's ok you're still young. Plenty of time for morning beer in the future.
That would be gross in the morning. No thank you.
No, I never do. I don't drink much at all. Do you?
I drink a lot. Not in the morning but I have done so on occasion
A person who *needs* it should have his alcohol addiction checked.
For someone like that, it's likely to be too late
No I do not like beer
no lol. I'm not a fan of beer anyway and I only drink alcohol at parties, never at home
There's no edge to take off...
You're life is just passing you by
I don't wake up in the morning...
What time do you usually wake up?
Today I woke up at around 9, but I'm still in bed...
I work 3 hours per week...
Hence why I have so much time to play on GaG...
No I don't think I coul drink beer in the morning, in the morning I want something sweet, beer is too bitter. Also my stomach is too vunerable for alcohol at that time

Successful rectocele repair anybody?
I know most of us are on here because we have health problems but does anyone have any positive rectocele repair experience?
I am having a second MRI scan next week for ongoing pelvic floor issues. The whole thing scares me as I don't want to be worse off than I am now but my quality of life has gone downhill so I may have to consider surgery.
Also what questions should I ask my surgeon about the op? I've already had an anterior repair (by a different doctor) which hasn't been totally successful. My current surgeon advises against having this done again as it could make the rectocele worse.
Any thoughts?

Fishville is a tiny community in Central Louisiana. In the 1950s, 60s and early 70s, Fishville was a popular Summer spot for the surrounding area (especially in the days before the widespread use of air conditioning), including Alexandria, Louisiana, where hundreds of people would come out to the country to enjoy the cold creeks, roller skating, or just relaxing at one of many camp houses located along the numerous lakes, creeks, and streams, throughout the surrounding woods of the Kisatchie National Forest.
Fishville was a Southern archetypical community. Young men and women met daily at "Dean's Hole" at the intersection of La. Highway 8 and Exchange Club Road. The swimming hole had been improved by local residents with sides shored up against erosion, and steps built to allow easy access to swimming. A rope hung from a dead tree at bank side, and swimmers swung from the rope to the center of Big Creek and jumped in.
At night, particularly on Saturday night, many gathered at the Fishville Skating Rink, formerly known as Slick's Skating Rink. The juke box played great 60s hits like "Wooly Bully" while skaters enjoyed the rink. Others gathered outside to enjoy visiting and chatting and comparing muscle cars
On Sunday, most went to church. St. Edward's Catholic Mission was serviced by a priest from Colfax or Tioga. Protestants attended other services. The only newspaper available on Sundays was the New Orleans Times Picayune, which could be bought in Pollock, LA at the Indian Inn. Most stores were closed on Sunday, due to blue laws.

How Will the Change to Social Security Judicial Reviews Impact ERISA Disability Claims?
A change took effect in March to how Social Security disability claims are processed, which is raising concerns for those... Read more →
They position themselves during the selling cycle as the kind and benevolent institution that can be trusted and relied upon to protect policyholders and their families during a time in the future that we all hope will never arrive – a time when we are injured or ill and can no longer perform the tasks of our profession. That façade drops away pretty quickly when claims are denied or delayed and a long and frustrating, never-ending series of bad events begin to take place.
When a policyholder cannot work and files a claim, they have placed their trust and faith in the disability insurance company's promise of financial protection. The disability benefits are vital to ensuring that the family does not lose their home, that their quality of life can remain somewhat at the same level, and that the stresses and financial strains of not being able to work do not place an additional burden on an individual and a family already adjusting to the illness or injury.
A claim of bad faith in a disability lawsuit is different than other bad faith insurance claims. In matters concerning health, life or property insurance, a bad faith claim means that additional penalties can be assessed in a judgment against the insurance company. Unfortunately, in a disability insurance lawsuit, there are often no additional penalties for the insurance company, regardless of whether an individual feels that they were sold the policy in bad faith.
A bad faith denial of disability benefits is usually part of a systematic approach by the insurance company to deny or delay claims for the simple reason that they do not lose anything by denying the claim, even if a lawsuit later overturns the denial. The only cost to the insurance company is that they have to pay back the benefits that were to have been paid in the first place, potentially with interest and potentially for the insureds' legal fees. The insurance company usually has a team of lawyers that work in an in-house department, or a law firm that they hire to handle claim denials. Their defense costs are relatively low.
Frankel & Newfield works with the insurance companies' in-house and retained counsel every day of the week. We know their strengths, weaknesses, and strategies, and this experience gives us a distinct advantage over attorneys who do not practice in the disability insurance arena on a daily basis. The insurance companies' lawyers know us also – and they know that we vigorously and aggressively represent our clients. If you believe that your claim has been denied in bad faith, call us today. You are not in this alone – we can help.

Belgium Friday Roundup: Out With 2013, In With The 1950s
It's been a while since Real Time Brussels discussed Belgium. After producing the most-read blogpost of the last year, the country should make headlines again in 2014: elections are due in May and it'll be interesting see what happens after 2010, when the vote produced the longest coalition talks in history. This week, however, two events stood out: Belgacom SA got a new chief executive, and the country said it would revise the way it calculates inflation.

Festival boasts Caribbean food and music
As a means to keep Cuban tradition alive and share it with all of San Antonio, the CCCSA hosts its annual Cuban Festival, which this year takes place from1-6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 24 at Raymond Russell Park, 20644 IH-10 West.
Published 7:17 pm, Wednesday, October 20, 2010
The ways in which Cuban Americans have contributed to U.S. are evident in food, music and traditions. And while sharing culture is important for Centro Cultural Cubano de San Antonio, so is helping the community.
"We want to give back to (San Antonio) and thank the community for embracing us," said Orquidea Blain of the CCCSA board of directors.
The CCCSA is a nonprofit organization that seeks to preserve Cuban traditions and unite individuals of Cuban descent living in San Antonio, which number around 2,000, according to 2005 data on usbeacon.com.
As a means to keep Cuban tradition alive and share it, the CCCSA hosts an annual Cuban Festival, which this year takes place from 1-6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 24 at Raymond Russell Park, 20644 I-10 W.
News Channel
The festival features Caribbean food, music, activities for children, door prizes and a domino competition. It also serves as a fundraiser for scholarships and other programs.
"It's important that we continue our culture but also help our community," said Blain.
The festival started as a small picnic shortly after the organization was founded in 1976. Since then, CCCSA, an all-volunteer organization, has implemented programs that assist members of the community - from new mothers and their babies to students and recent arrivals from other countries - by providing clothing, food and help in identifying resources within the community.
"Seeing the faces of the kids when you show up with clothes or toys for them is something that really moves you," said Maria Luisa Torres, a founding member of CCCSA.
Many CCCSA events are centered around Cuban holidays. One is celebrated Jan. 28 - the birthday of José Martí, the father of Cuban independence. CCCSA members give gifts to babies born that day at a local hospital.

When: Sunday, Oct. 24; 1-6 p.m.

Party Poker Introduces Major Software Updates
On a day when Full Tilt Poker added a number of new poker variants to its site Party Poker also underwent a major software overhaul. Party Poker's additions were not in the form of new games, but in the form of new in-game features.
The first addition Party Poker made was the addition of Anonymous poker tables. The tables allow players to keep their Avatar and screen-name hidden while playing. As of now, only heads-up tables offer this feature at Party Poker.
The second addition to the site was the ability to Rabbit-Hunt, which is the ability to see the next card that would have come, when you fold. A lot of players enjoy the Rabbit-Hunting feature, which is in place at a handful of other online poker rooms.
The final addition is the ability Show a Card to your opponent if you are heads-up in a hand. So, if you want to make your opponent's decision all the more difficult you can now feign either strength or weakness by showing a card.
In addition to these in game features Party Poker also upgraded their software to include better tournament lobby features with more statistics, and added the ability for players to find Party Poker sponsored pros in the lobby, similar to the Full Tilt Poker "Red Pros".
New Party Poker Players can get a 100% deposit bonus up to $500 with Party Poker Bonus Code PNB500.

Thomas Jefferson's first season as a member of District 10-3A in 2013 ended on a loss to Miller-McCoy with the district crown on the line.
After Saturday's victory over Clark, Thomas Jefferson set itself up for a for a chance at redemption.
Thomas Jefferson (6-2, 1-0) cruised to a 28-6 victory over the Bulldogs (1-6, 0-2) at Hoss Memtsas Stadium that gave the Jaguars their first district win of the season and sets them up for a rematch against Miller McCoy next Saturday with the title of district champions on the line once again.
"Our kids are excited about it. We've got a chance at a district championship," Thomas Jefferson coach Kevin Kelly said. "We played Miller-McCoy really well for one half (last year), so we're really looking forward to that matchup.
"This is only our fifth year of varsity football, so we've come a really long way as a program, and I'm just proud of our kids."
Donte Sincere led the Jaguars, coming off the heels of a 54-carry, 254-yard performance in Thomas Jefferson's victory over KIPP Renaissance last week, the junior running back had 18 carries for 126 yards and a touchdown. After Saturday's performance, Sincere eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards.
Quarterback Tyler Lavergne completed 7 of 12 passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns. He also eclipsed 1,000 passing yards on the season.
"Donte runs the ball so hard. I'm so proud of the way he's played this year," Kelly said. "And (Lavergne) is so efficient and he just makes all the throws for us. Those guys have been great for us all year."
The Jaguars came out firing early, scoring touchdowns on drives of 63 and 67 yards to open the game.
Their first drive ended with Sincere bursting through the line for a 40-yard touchdown run.
Their next drive lasted seven plays before Lavergne dove in from 1 yard out to give the Jaguars a 14-0 lead.
"This win was really important for us because we knew we wanted some momentum heading into the district championship game next week," Sincere said.
The Jaguars — helped by a 30-yard catch from wide receiver Tyler Butler — struck again late in the first half with a six-play, 44-yard scoring drive. Butler capped the drive with a 1-yard run.
After forcing a Clark turnover on downs to open the second half, the Jaguars took advantage of a short field, marching 36 yards in nine plays before Lavergne connected with Butler for a 5-yard touchdown pass.
Butler finished with five catches for 71 yards and a touchdown and also added a rushing touchdown.
"It was major for us to get this win because we have redemption on our mind," he said. "I feel like we play as a team and everybody's coming together and when you do that you see the results."
Clark's only score of the game came when quarterback Koiy Evans hit Darius Bradley on a quick 15-yard play, and Bradley tossed the ball to Elvis Berry and Berry took the ball 65 yards for a touchdown. A two-point conversion failed, making the score 28-6.
Thomas Jefferson's matchup with Miller-McCoy for the district 10-3A crown will be played at Hoss Memtsas Stadium next Saturday.

Shae-Lynn Penrose drives a cab in a town where no one needs a cab, but plenty of people need rides. A former police officer with a closet full of miniskirts, a recklessly sharp tongue, and a tendency to deal with men by either beating them up or taking them to bed, she has spent years carving out a life for herself and her son in Jolly Mount, Pennslyvania, the tiny coal-mining town where she grew up. Two years ago, five of Shae-Lynn's miner friends were catapulted to media stardom when they were rescued after surviving four days trapped in a mine. As the men struggle to come to terms with the nightmarish memories of their ordeal, along with the fallout of their short-lived celebrity, Shae-Lynn finds herself facing harsh realities and reliving bad dreams of her own, including her relationship with her brutal father, her conflicted passion for one of the miners, and the hidden identity of the man who fathered her son.
When the younger sister she thought was dead arrives on her doorstep, followed closely by a gun-wielding Russian gangster, a shady New York lawyer, and a desperate Connecticut housewife, Shae-Lynn is forced to grapple with the horrible truth she discovers about her sister's life, and with an ominous question: Will her return result in a monstrous act of greed, or one of sacrifice?

Complex, gripping, poignant
I liked how the main character never pitied herself. She had every reason to and every reason to cast blame on lots of other people for the things that happened to her but she didn't. She was very interesting and unique.
The main character
Both. The way this book exposes the dynamics between the characters is pretty incisive and amazing.
Excellent, excellent book. Extremely well-written.

Did Nokia CEO Stephen Elop just hint at a Windows tablet in production?
0. phoneArena posted on 25 Sep 2012, 09:30
In a world where most major cell phone manufacturers have already introduced at least one tablet model, Nokia, which has previously made netbooks, is yet to announce such a device...

Has Nokia ever even made a tablet cause is they didn't, that'd just be sad ( no wonder they were falling and almost had to shut down, remember?) or was that another company?
Meh, whateva :|
2. Joshing4fun (Posts: 1237; Member since: 13 Aug 2010)
So basically they will make a tablet... Eventually? Well im grabbing the best on Oct. 26th. Better see ya there Nokia or else see ya later.

Headlines: Nokia Lumia Slate packs an Intel Core i5 Processor, 8.7MP PureView Camera and 10" PureMotion 1080p HD+ Display - 10 Hour Battery Life, 2 USB 3.0 Ports at $599.
8. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
That would be super, though I wouldn't mind more processor choices. Intel's great, but I've had better luck lately with AMD.
Also, at least 8GB RAM would be just fine.
10. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
what the? 8gb of RAM?! lol. i picked core i5 because i7 would be overkill for an intro tablet.
12. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
Compared to Intel processors, AMD are more power efficient. :)
nvidia GeForce.
4gb ram.
5MP front facing camera. 8MP rear
8.9" True HD-IPS LCD, with Puremotion and ClearBlack Display
10000mAh Li-Po batteries
16. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
not really well versed with AMD so I'd like not to comment on something I don't know of. haha. but I'm really happy with Intel's HD Graphics and performance so that's what I said. If an OEM produced one with an Nvidia GPU with a reasonable price, I'm totally in. I want Resident evil 6 so much.
18. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
Unless you consider their APUs for integrated graphics/cpu solutions, AMD is not more power efficient than Intel, at all. And even then, the APUs are less efficient than the Intel processors with Intel HD graphics. But the AMD Radeon integrated graphics are so much better than the Intel HD, they aren't better than nvidia, but usually to get a gaming Laptop, if you want Nvidia you're usually spending at least $700 on it, you can find an AMD APU in a laptop that's as cheap as $400 sometimes.
26. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
8.9" is too ipad-ish. Having owned (and sold) a 10.1", I think 11-12" is a good size if the bezels aren't too large. Not expecting 16:9 or 21:9 (though that would be swell) but just a tad larger than the norm would really set it apart
29. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
well coz 8.9 to 9.7 is i think the standard to tablet! but 10.1 is still acceptable... 11-12" is huge! and might be heavy too!
28. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
i dont know if i agree with you, the only problem with intel even this i3, i5 and i7 is heating! AMD dont!
but i still dont know if AMD make a processor that is optimize for tablet..
25. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
I say 8GB because then it'll run pretty much every PC game I own at "high" settings, so it would be an acceptable mobile experience in contrast to my desktop which has 32GB of RAM, plus 32GB SanDisk ExpressCache and 1TB ReadyBoost. I admittedly overindulge myself when it comes to computer upgrade, it's one of my few vices.
13. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
that would give me a techgasm man
14. No_Nonsense (unregistered)
All is good, but I still don;t get why we need a 8Mp camera on a tablet?
17. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
okay, a 3MP one? haha. I use the cameras on my prime for sharing pictures. i don't really care looking like a douche, :)
5. JKING_25 (Posts: 53; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
No matter what I am getting the Surface. It was the first tablet to blow me away. The idea of Microsoft actually making there own hardware is just too good to be true.
20. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
XBOX, Web TV, and Zune say hi.
21. ogy_dogy (Posts: 453; Member since: 29 Jun 2012)
Kin, kin one....
31. JKING_25 (Posts: 53; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
You got me there. I love my X-Box 360, and Zune was an incredible product but it could not compete with the iPhone and Web TV was innovating.
I cannot wait for the surface :)
6. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
It's been almost two years or so since the idea of nokia-made tablet existed. I hope elop's not doing this again to build up some hype doesn't really have some product to sell.
9. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
I'd say a bit longer than two years... There were rumors of a tablet when Nokia was building their Booklet 3G netbook, thought not very widespread or well-supported
11. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
there were netbooks released by nokia :)

"the common user experience ... is something that is going to encourage users to expect a common digital experience.." Say, what? Elop, sounds like one of these CEO circular arguments...

And I'll bet it'll be exclusive to ATT. Here's what's gonna happen, if I switch carriers, moving from Tmo to ATT, gonna get myself the iPhone 5.

You do a service to our community by publishing the daily list of arrests for drunk driving, or DWI, in Baton Rouge. I am amazed at how many third- and fourth-time repeaters there are, suggesting that efforts to make drunk driving unattractive are failing. Surely one DWI is forgivable, and maybe even a second could occur to the same person though inadvertence. But a third or a fourth suggests a committed alcoholic. Some of these people drive without a license, which presumably was taken away as punishment; clearly that did not work.
I propose that some way can be found to subject, to a vote, the idea of more severe punishments to see if our population agrees with the idea. I suggest, for first offense: a very significant fine. For a second offense, modest jail time and an even more costly fine. For a third, a substantial jail time and a very large fine. For a fourth — this person is a serious alcoholic and must not drive — confiscate the car, as well as a hefty fine.
These are significant penalties, but these people kill themselves, others and even whole families. They must get help to stop their drinking and driving.

San Diego 100 - Race Report
About 58 hours after finishing the San Diego 100 Miler, I was out on an easy training run. I didn't regret the decision I made to save my body by walking the last 14 miles instead of pushing to break 24 hours. It was at mile 86, the Milk Ranch AS, when I realized that I was very close to hitting the 24 hour mark. However, It meant that I had to keep the pace and push my body to the max in order to achieve it. I had 2 hours and 52 minutes to cover the remaining 14 miles. I had been very conservative right from the start; and had kept a very steady pace the whole way. I had no low spots, no foot issues, and I took care of myself in hydration and nutrition. Had I pushed, I really don't think I would be able to resume training so quickly. Besides, I needed to collect a bronze buckle anyway, since I didn't have one. I can always get the silver buckle (sub 24 hours) next year.
I have to admit that I was not ready physically for this race. The wear and tear of racing 6 ultras (four 50 milers and two 50K) in 8 weeks was catching up to me. On the eve before race morning, I still had a nagging sore spot on the outside of my right hip. Without any tapering, I was just not feeling fresh at all. It was not that I didn't know how to taper and get ready for a race, but that this was for getting more racing experience at the 100 mile distance in preparation for AC100 in September, which is my big race of the year. I was content to just do as much as I was able.
I started out from the very back of the pack. At one point, about a mile after the start, I think I was the very last runner of the 81 brave souls who attempted the race. I purposely kept a very slow pace, about 2 minutes per mile slower than my 50 mile pace, and just kept going. As I went along, I gradually picked off runners and moved up the standings. The course was very runnable, the four climbs on each loop, which we did twice, were gradual and from 3-5 miles in length. It was an easier course than AC. To give you an idea, this was how I moved up:
Sunrise 1 (5.9M): 73rd place
Pedro 1 (12.6M): 67th place
Camp 1 (19.3M): 65th place
Paso 1 (25.3M): 54th place
Big Bend 1 (30.4M): 47th place
Milk Ranch 1 (36.2M): 41st place
Sweetwater 1 (42.4M): 36th place
Camp 2 (50.0M): 31st place
Sunrise 2 (55.9M): 19th place
Pedro 2 (62.6M): 18th place
Camp 3 (69.3M): 16th place
Paso 2 (75.3M): 14th place
Big Bend 2 (80.4M): 14th place
Milk Ranch 2 (86.2M): 14th place
Sweetwater 2 (92.4M): 15th place
FINISH (100M): 16th place
Since I started slow, I got to run with people I don't usually see. They were surprised to see me so far back and were wondering what was wrong with me. There was nothing wrong, I was just executing my strategy. It was good to see so many familiar faces.
As I started, my sore right hip bothered me right away; so I kept rubbing it with my hand whenever I took a walking break. This kept going for about twenty miles and then the soreness went away like magic. I was very glad. I was feeling good, and it was as if my body had adapted and grew out new muscles to tackle the loads I was putting on it. I don't know how else to explain it. One moment it was there, and then it was gone. And I don't have that sore spot even now as I write this. Someone must have been praying for me.
As I moved up through the field of brave runners, I kept the same pace. I was not speeding up, but people were slowing down. It turned out to be a hot day, and 38 out of the 81 starters dropped out, including some seasoned ultra runners. After the first loop (50 miles), I started to move up very quickly as I pickup off many runners going up the climbs. I was still feeling strong at the 70 mile mark. I remember thinking to myself, "I have seven and one half hours to do the last 30 miles." I said to myself, "now the race starts." I tackled the climb up to Paso (75.3M) even a little faster than I had done on the first loop.
Up to this point, I had no low spots. I was really enjoying the run and having a lot of fun. I made up even more time as I ran down to Big Bend (80.4M). I really thought that I had no problems going sub 24 hours. I made it over yet another climb and got into Milk Ranch (86.2M) and started to feel a little tired. Here, to make 24 hours, I had almost 3 hours to cover the remaining 13.8 miles. I thought I could do it, but I would have to push hard and it would be close. The choice was between grinding my body down to the ground, or to take it easy and be able to resume training much quicker. I made the later choice.
I didn't hallucinate, I never got sleepy (I think all the coke I drank helped), I just plodded along slow and steady. I carefully and accurately dialed in my hydration and nutritional needs early in the race and I didn't have any problems what-so-ever later on. I think I achieved a lot for this races. I kept very good pacing, I didn't dehydrate like two of my previous 100 mile attempts, I kept very strong mentally, and I proved that my strategy works. This gives me increased confidence for AC100.
Congrats to all my friends who finished their first 100 miler.
Until the next ultraholic adventure, happy trails!

Pretty nice, out of the box
This theme is pretty awesome, I was able to get up and running with very few customizations in about 30 minutes and it is very clean and basic, and makes use of the featured images in posts. Nice options in the customizer as well, including ability to set a custom font. Good theme for beginners wanting a magazine style layout and works great in conjunction with post categories. Nice sidebar, widget and layout options. Good amount of options, but not too many some themes I have seen. Pretty nice and it also includes a Custom CSS module in the customizer to tweak further. Works well with the Jetpack plugin.

Drunk driving is dangerous, we all know that. But what about drunk pilots? The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has suspended two pilots from Air India and Jet Airways for being high on alcohol, or rather after they tested positive for alcohol on their arrival to India.
The two pilots have been suspended for four years and the DGCA has asked the two airlines to register an FIR against the two high fliers, considering the risks and seriousness involved.
Sources also say that an Air India crew member was fined after alcohol was found in the blood during a post flight check. The crew member has been suspended for one year.
The two pilots may be the first ever in history to test positive for alcohol during a post flight check. Earlier, the pre flight checks also confirmed that the duo were had alcohol in their system.

I would buy a couple small investment properties first to rent out so I could collect rent and have a steady income without really working + the freedom to travel. I would use the rest on tuition obviously and travel. I'd use my winnings wisely to grow my money and eventually start my own theatre company and buy my own theatre. I'd restore an old movie theatre in old Montreal and build a big proscenium stage in it and make it really gorgeous and classy. Then I'd write more plays and have them premiered in my very own theatre. I could just make art and travel a for the rest of my life, and I'd get as much education as I wanted a masters, a Phd whatever I wanted!00|00|0
Oh! And I'd start a scholarship for theatre students and a charity for child brides.

I would give a huge chunk to my parents, then quite a bit to my three brothers and then buy two cars for my two friends (other one doesn't have any and one has a very old one).
Then I would purchase my own apartment in some tower block and move out. And I know my dad has always really longed to see New York City, and I think my mother would like to as well, so I would purchase a full expenses paid trip for them there. For the rest (if any, because I just want to see my parents happy), I would put in a bank account00|00|0

First, the new design: It's not a bad design, per se, but:
- It whitewashes Misha and removes a chance for more diversity among the mascots - let's be real, there's not much diversity to be found among the crowd. Syo wanted the design to be tan and Latina like Misha herself.
- It also takes away from all the hard work Syo and Natasha Allegri (and Misha) did on the design. They spent an entire year working on that design! Natasha even refused payment, so clearly she was very invested in this. Not using a design that they created is like a slap to their faces.
- I just don't think the design fits Ruby's voice.
What I think PowerFX should do is shelve the design and keep it for later use. They wanted to appeal to an EDM audience - why don't they create a product that is much better suited to EDM and use the design there?
Anyway, that's my perspective. What's yours? Let's be civil, please.

LSU fans weren't exactly shooting off fireworks when former Louisville head coach Steve Kragthorpe was tabbed to resuscitate the Tiger offense in January, but even their worst predictions didn't end like this: Per an announcement from the school, Kragthorpe is stepping down as offensive coordinator due to Parkinson's disease. (You can read more about Parkinson's disease here. There is no known cure.)
This announcement comes barely a year after Kragthorpe, 46, stepped down as wide receivers coach at Texas A&M to assist his wife's treatment for multiple sclerosis, which required heart surgery.
This time, Kragthorpe will remain on the staff to coach quarterbacks, but gives up chief game-planning and play-calling duties to offensive line coach Greg Studrawa, a former Urban Meyer assistant at Bowling Green who oversaw a string of dynamite offenses after being promoted to Falcon offensive coordinator in 2003. Bowling Green finished in the top five nationally in total offense in each of Studrawa's first two seasons at the controls, before prolific quarterback Omar Jacobs graduated and the operation began to nosedive. He joined Les Miles' staff at LSU in 2007, under new offensive coordinator Gary Crowton, just in time to pick up a ring.
Considering the job in front of Studrawa in Baton Rouge, the timing is … let's say, less than ideal. After a turnover-strewn encore in 2008, Crowton's attack bottomed out in 2009, coming in dead last in the SEC in total offense, next-to-last in rushing and 10th in scoring; in 2010, it finished 11th in total offense and brought up the rear in passing. This year, with a senior quarterback, former five-star recruits at all the skill positions and four returning starters on the offensive line, the stage is set for a major leap forward — a significant enough leap, anyway, to allow the first-rate defense and special teams to keep the Tigers on track for a run at SEC and BCS championships. That is not a light torch to pass.
In Kragthorpe's case, though, all of that is now in the backseat. Godspeed for a tough, productive battle against a very patient opponent.
