More than just a change in construction, the Foundation Wailer 112 (F112) flaunts a slightly different shape to the classic Wailer 112RP2. With a longer forebody, new flex pattern and increased dampness over the Hybrid and Pure model, the F112 retains the playful character and versatility of the classic models but at a cheaper price point. As with its cousins, the F112 exhibits excellent edge hold, has a slightly less pronounced rocker shape and the effective edge length has been increased by the change in the sidecut shape.

Complaint Review: ALLTEL
Phoenix, Arizona

- Category: Cellular Phone Companies
ALLTEL Rip-off! Really bad service and communication, from a company that is in the communication business!Phoenix Arizona
The second phone also was having trouble disconnecting. I told her I would keep the phone and allow my daughter to use it for emergencies only. Well, the first time she used phone, she called me because she had missed school bus, but could not continue conversation because it disconnected and she tried to call me back, but the phone was dead. I tried to call her to only get a Voice Message. Anyway, I am disabled, and rushed to get over to school to find her. When I got there, I could not find her. I tried to get up some stairs and fell bursting the burro sac in my left elbow.
I called ALLTEL and had the phone disconnected. They sent me a $200.00 disconnect fee. I called the Disconnect Department and spoke with Jennifer who transferred me to Mike in Charlotte, NC. He was setting up for the return of the phone, when we were disconnected, I called back and talked with Jennifer again. She then forwarded me to Gene at extension 4095. He chose to tell me to return the phone to the manager of the Metro Center store and she would be advised to credit the account.
I went to the store, the manager would not do anything! She called and talked to Jennifer and was told there were no Gene's that worked in the disconnect department. Well this is getting real interesting now! I called back and spoke to Anthony at the Ohio Call Center and he said that NC location does not have a disconnect departmen and told me to take the phone back and have the manager send it out for service or I would have to pay the fee. I told him that I was through taking the ALLTEL ride and wanted to get off now! I am disputing this charge wherever it shows up! This is really bad service and communication, from a company that is in the communication business!

Walking up towards the Mound from Edinburgh Waverly, on a certain week in May – you are struck by something odd. Ministers. Lots of them. But then as you approach the Mound you notice something else. Like a fork in the road the Ministers split into two groups. Some head towards St Columba's Free Church and the others head towards the Church of Scotland's Assembly hall. It Did strike me as odd that this scenario has been playing out every year since 1843. Most church splits really go their separate ways – yet every year the CofS and FC ministers and elders are reminded of the disruption. I cannot help but wonder that surely there comes a time when you need to delete your ex-girlfriend from your Facebook friends' list?
This week I had the joy (yes, joy) of attending the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland as a Commissioner for Glasgow and Argyle Presbytery. This is not a detailed report – you can watch the videos, and read the reports for yourself – instead this is simply a few short reflections on some personal observations.
FCGA17 was a humbling experience. It's one thing tapping into the GA, online from afar – it's another thing being there as part of the assembly. I'm reasonably new to the Free Church, so I don't know most people – and most people don't know me. Social media helps networking on one level – but on another level it's superficial, one-dimensional and detached from context. Social networking may help us overcome geographical chasms, but it doesn't develop depth of relationship. You just can't get to know people via social media. In this sense, it was good to meet a number of folk in the flesh.
I was encouraged by most of the GA. When I wasn't encouraged, I might have been drifting off because we were dealing with some boring bits (or slightly amused at how a church models its governing affairs like a mini parliament) – but most of the time I was deeply impressed by the contribution of many of the other leaders. One of the things that really encourages me about the FC is depth. There really is a depth in many of the members. There is a depth of knowledge, wisdom, spirituality and godliness among many of the men and women who spoke at Assembly. I'm thinking for example of Irene Howat whose love for Christ and children was and is so evident. I'm thinking of Ms Elaine Duncan (Bible Society) who exhorted the incoming Moderator as she presented him with a Bible – her words carried conviction, depth and spiritual authority. I'm also thinking of some of the elders and ministers – both young and old, who just oozed character. Maybe it's just the fact that I spent too long in youth ministry, and contemporary charismatic-evangelicalism – but the lack of hype, spin and triumphalism at the GA was just brilliant – and as I said, humbling.
The fellowship was fantastic. I had the opportunity to get to know some new folks, and to get know a little better some folks I've just got to know. Having relocated from the Isle of Skye, where not only are Free Churches ten a penny – but you quickly get to know folks because it is such a small community – in the central belt, FCs are more thinly spread and ministry commitments prevent you from getting to know other leaders and ministers in neighbouring towns. I really loved getting to know some of the ex-CofS guys, and it was also great to spend some time around food with a few of the senior leaders. And it was brilliant to catch up with some of the Skye leaders – not least my former minister.
The ministry was top-notch. It really was. There was a clarion call to "tremble" at God's word in repentance and humility; a call to mission; a call to semper-reformanda (the Moderator, Derek Lamont's opening address was simply outstanding and cutting-edge); a call to holiness, discipleship and accountability Really, really good stuff.
Unity in Diversity
There was an obvious diversity in the FCGA17. Okay – perhaps not enough – it was very white-western-male-centred – but within that group there certainly were a mix of backgrounds, personalities and approaches. Some more conservative than others. Others more progressive than others. Yet at the same time there was a unity – and this was particularly felt at various times in the GA when there were references to the doctrine of scripture. Scriptural authority is not a peripheral doctrine in the FC, it is foundational – and that was clear at many levels.
I loved how folks from a non-CofS background were welcomed the message was clear, "this is your church" – in other words, just because you weren't brought up FC –that doesn't mean you are visitor or a second-class member. It was very encouraging to hear those words – not just for the CofS guys, but others who have come in from other denominations.
I also liked the fact that the chairman of the Board of Ministry made it clear that the FC was not an "anti-gay" church. With ministers and members of the CofS leaving over issues surrounding human sexuality – this may be the assumption that people make. It was great to hear an ex-CofS minister affirm this by making clear that it was the CofS's departure from the doctrine of scripture which has led many to leave the CofS.
There were loads of laughs. The banter was brilliant – not least between myself and my commuting comrade – a minister who happened to be travelling via the same train route as myself.
This was also a sombre assembly. An assembly marked by tragedy. This was an assembly with a shadow over it. The passing of Iain D. Campbell, and the circumstances surrounding it, certainly impressed upon this 'young' preacher's mind, the words of Tozer, "The world is not a playground, it is a battleground." There is an enemy of our souls, and we all must be ever-watchful.
Sorrow was further compressed by the events in Manchester. One of the most powerful moments was our morning of prayer where we also sang psalms of lament. At moments like this – we need the breadth and depth of human experience that can only be found in the psalter.
How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I take counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
Whilst there was sadness, there was also hope – a lot of it actually. The Free Church is bursting with vision. That's no exaggeration. The Mission Board, the Board of Ministry, and the Seminary Board and the Board of Trustees, are full of vision, passion, and strategy for mission, ministry and training in the 21st century.
Final reflections
This week in May, ministers at the Mound did not just continue to part ways geographically, and denominationally – they continued to part ways theologically. In one assembly, there was a clear message sent out that the church is not anti-gay, but it's conscience is forever bound by the authority of scripture. In another assembly, a message of secular inclusion and scriptural abandonment rang out loud in clear. In paving the way for ministers to perform same-sex weddings, the Church of Scotland has abandoned the revelation of God's Word. Maybe it's a good thing after all that both assemblies run on the same week. The annual ritual also becomes a means of self-reflection. A constant reminder of the importance of not allowing the state to define our consciences, theology and practice.
Of course, while the ministers of each denomination head towards their respective assemblies – there are interactions. Friendly words – and not so friendly words are exchanged. I think of the minister from one assembly who confessed that he wished that he was attending the other assembly but felt that for him it was "too late". But I also think of the exchange between a Church of Scotland Minister and a Free Church Minister who had left the CofS to join the Free Church. "Turn Coat" mocked the Church of Scotland minister. That's simply poor taste. It's also ironic – to be happy to be a turncoat when it comes to the Word of God yet to boast faithfulness to an increasingly apostate denomination is not a reason for boasting. As our retiring moderator reminded us, "These are the ones I look on with favour: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word." Isaiah 66:2
There are no perfect Christians, ministers or denominations. But by the grace of God, there are real encouraging signs in the FC. God is at work. The priority is God, His Word and his world. After almost 500 years of the reformation, there is a remnant who are still saying "give me Scotland…" Whether we are also saying …" or I die" is yet to be seen – but the signs are encouraging. May God keep us in his grace, and empower us for his purpose and glory – for Jesus' sake, Amen.
Tonight at our mid-week meeting we kicked off a series on the Westminster Confession of Faith. We tapped into some of Vandixhoorn's book, 'Confessing the Faith' for historical context; we drew from Trueman's 'Creedal Imperative' for insight into why Confessionalism is essential for the well-being of the church and the preservation of the gospel and we began a study on WCF 1.1. We then explored how WCF 1.1 can help us become better at evangelism. It was a lively discussion and we heard some good testimony which demonstrated some of the material we were looking at.
Here are some of the highlights, followed by the study questions.
Carl Trueman
"The pastor who thinks he is being biblical by declaring he has no creed but the Bible may actually, upon reflection, find that his position is more shaped by the modern world than he at first realized."
"It would be a tragic irony if the rejection of creeds and confessions by so many of those who sincerely wish to be biblically faithful turned out to be not an act of faithfulness but rather an unwitting capitulation to the spirit of the age."
"Creeds and confessions are, in fact, necessary for the well-being of the church, and that churches that claim not to have them place themselves at a permanent disadvantage when it comes to holding fast to that form of sound words which was so precious to the aging Paul as he advised his young protégé, Timothy. . . The need for creeds and confessions is not just a practical imperative for the church but is also a biblical imperative."
"A church with a creed or confession has a built-in gospel reality check. It is unlikely to become sidetracked by the peripheral issues of the passing moment; rather it will focus instead on the great theological categories that touch on matters of eternal significance."
The Westminster assembly (1643-1653)
Two years prior to the gathering of an assembly of theologians in Westminster Abbey (from whence the Westminster Confession of Faith derives its name), a prominent pastor named Edmund Calamy urged the House of Commons to reform the Church of England. . . Calamy urged Parliament to 'reform the Reformation itself'. It was not until 1643 that Calamy's modern reformation took shape in the calling of what proved to be the last of the great post-Reformation synods.
The Westminster Confession of Faith traces:
- the great history of our redemption:
- the grim realities of the fall,
- God's gracious covenants with man,
- the stunning announcement of salvation,
- and our sure hope of eternal life—
All these are sketched out in bold but considered strokes. It is because of the clarity of this gospel presentation in all of its parts that the Westminster Confession of Faith finds itself in the first rank of great Christian creeds
Modern Translation of WCF 1.1
Although the light of nature and the works of creation and providence manifest the goodness, wisdom, and power of God, to such an extent that men are without excuse, yet they are not sufficient to give that knowledge of God and of his will which is necessary for salvation. Therefore it pleased the Lord, at various times and in diverse ways, to reveal himself and to declare his will to his church; and afterward— for the better preserving and propagating of the truth, and for the more sure establishment and comfort of the church against the corruption of the flesh and the malice of Satan and of the world— to commit this revelation wholly to writing. Therefore the Holy Scripture is most necessary, God's former ways of revealing his will to his people having ceased.
Scripture Proofs 1.1
a Rom. 2: 14,15; Rom. 1: 19,20; Psa. 19: 1-3; Rom. 1: 32, with Rom. 2: 1. b 1 Cor. 1: 21; 1 Cor. 2: 13,14. c Heb. 1: 1. d Prov. 22: 19-21; Luke 1: 3,4; Rom. 15: 4;
Questions for study
4. Do you agree with this part of the WCF? Why/why not?
5. How can WCF 1.1 help us today with:
Year one of four is over. (Not that I'm scraping tally marks onto the wall of my Study). It's been an enjoyable year. It's been a good year. It's been a busy year. It's been a challenging year. It's been a productive year. So here are some reflections – in no particular order.
Part-Time Study/Part-time ministry
Two modules per academic year, along with pastoral responsibilities is probably just the right balance. Of course, everything takes longer this way, but it is manageable. Of course, there is often more than the two modules – there are preaching classes; Presbyterian practice module; and presbytery exams – but in a two-module year, these are still doable.
I remember listening to a Mark Driscoll lecture on ministry (before he crashed, burned and re-emerged). He argued that the best way to train for ministry is to be in ministry whilst studying theology. His argument was that the practice enables you to test out your learning in real ministry situations. I have to say, I think I agree. My first degree is a BD (Hons) in pastoral studies and theology. I was a full-time student, and whilst I was involved in local church leadership at the time, I wasn't in pastoral ministry to the extent that I am now. Studying theology, whilst having responsibility for a church really changes the way you approach your studies – and I think it changes the way you approach ministry.
Studying in a Reformed Seminary
I often get asked "Why do you have to study theology formally at undergraduate level again." If I'm honest, I've asked myself that question several times this year. I'm grateful for my under-grad in theology from the Scottish Baptist College. It was there I developed a respect for "exegesis"; "hermeneutics" and "theological reflection". The Scottish Baptist College was as theologically diverse as it was robust – that after all is the beauty (and bane?) of Baptist ecclesiology. However, ETS is a Seminary with clear Confessional commitments. This meant we had rich resources to mine, but there were also boundaries to be respected. So whilst I'm studying theology a second time, it is beneficial to view the theological landscape from a reformed perspective. Further, it's not only good from a personal perspective, but it's good from a denominational perspective. It's one thing for denominations to require their ministers to have a theology degree, it's another thing entirely to ensure that ministers are grounded in good, biblical theology.
I know some folks who see the Reformed Seminaries as being too rigid, and too conservative – yet that's not really what I experienced. There is a rich diversity even within Confessional denominations. The Calvinistic stereo-type is nonsense. It doesn't exist. Every student, lecturer, and staff member brings their own unique gifts, character and experience into the life of the Seminary.
Yet having said all that there are some beautiful unifying themes that weave the whole thing together. A vison for God's glory; the gospel message; the authority and sufficiency of scripture; and a heart for mission is the beating pulse of ETS. It's alive.
Studying as a Ministry Candidate
It's one thing studying theology as an independent student (I did that at SBC); it's another thing studying as a ministry candidate. For me, I'm constantly aware of the weighty responsibility and privilege that this is. I am grateful to the Free Church for recognising the gifts and call of God. I'm grateful for their support, and the opportunity to study at a world-class Seminary.
When the challenging times come, your commitments are challenged. You can find yourself asking why you are doing what you are doing. You can doubt your calling. You can wonder if you are doing the right thing. And as you go through those times, the fact that you are not where you are solely because of an independent choice that you made, is a strengthening thing. The fact that your Kirk Session; Presbytery and the Board of Ministry sought the Lord about this and believed it to be the right thing – that is a rock in the storm.
The other good thing about difficult periods, is not only do they challenge your commitments and motivations, but they also strengthen them. You are brought back to core foundations. For example, last night as I sat through the Awards ceremony, I was rejuvenated and re-envisioned. Iver Martin's Word was top-class. For me, it reminded me why I'm in the Free Church. At the core of the denomination is an unwavering commitment to God, His Word and His world. It was the same when John McIntosh spoke. His retiring comments did not miss the mark. He challenged us not to abandon biblical truth for contemporary innovations. As a seasoned historian he warned us that if we did it would take decades for the church to recover. And he knows. He speaks as one who knows the history of the church. He sees the dangers. Do we?
Professor John McIntosh at ETS Awards Ceremony 2017
There are many more things I could say. I could write about what I've gained from studying Systematic Theology with Bob Akroyd; New Testament and Greek with John Angus MacLeod; and the staff and students I've had the joy of meeting, but this will do for now. Overall, I'm grateful to the Lord for ETS, the Free Church and the staff and students I've got to know this year.
To God be the Glory.
Andrew Wilson has written an interesting blog which interacts with a diversity of views within the Acts 29 network. Andrew is a leader within the Newfrontiers movement. His ministry is marked by theological thoroughness, missional engagement and charismatic commitments. His stuff is always worth a read.
Wilson begins by noting: "There's an intriguing discussion taking place within Acts29 at the moment over whether, and to what extent, miraculous spiritual gifts (like prophecy or healing) continue today." What is the discussion? Sam Storms (an Acts 29 leader has written a book which promotes charismatic practice; Matt Chandler (Acts 29 President) endorsed the book and wrote the Foreword; but Steve Timmis (CEO of Acts 29) has written a friendly but critical review of Storms' book.
Wilson says all of this "intriguing." I'll come back to this later. But for the moment I'll simply add that there is nothing really unusual about this. From what I understand, Acts 29 has always been diverse, and by and large, "continuationist". For example, Mark Driscoll (Acts 29 Founder) always described himself as "charismatic with a seat-belt" although, towards the end of the Mars Hill era was moving towards a more explicit charismatic position as could be seen in in his infamous 'Sixth-Sense-esque' moment when he declared "I see things" and when he gate-crashed John MacArthur's Strange Fire conference.
However, as far as I understand it, Acts 29 have always had a "continuationist edge" but they have never been "charismatic". In fact, when I attended an Acts 29 Boot Camp in London (it was the one where Steve Timmis was brought in as the director for Acts 29 Europe), I happened to be sitting next to a guy from Newfrontiers. We had a discussion about the nature of New Frontiers and Acts 29. Both of us were "charismatics" and we noted that the Acts 29 conference was great in its emphasis on mission, but not so good in worship (worship being defined through a charismatic grid).
So, from my experience, Acts 29 (and Mars Hill where it derived its origins and ethos) have never been overtly charismatic. And there is a reason for this too. Acts 29 was always missional, and it was understood that charismatic practices often hindered mission rather than enabling it. The whole premise underpinning Acts 29 was contextualization and biblical faithfulness. Consequently, churches which made the charismata a central tenet tended to be not very missionally minded . Very often they would create church cultures that alienated people because of the various charismatic practices (en masse tongue-speaking, Toronto Blessing style manifestations, people being slain in the Spirit and so on). At least this is my analysis of the Acts 29/Mars Hill philosophy.
Wilson views the difference between Storms and Timmis as "intriguing".
It's intriguing because, as a local church, it is not an issue on which you can sit on the fence: you either "eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially prophecy," or you don't (although the degree to which you do this can obviously vary).
I think there are two issues here. One is a difference in tradition/worldview held by Wilson, Storms and Timmis. The second is a contradiction in Wilson's understanding of the ongoing charismata.
First the difference in worldviews.
Tradition/Worldview difference
Wilson, develops his point about not being able to sit on the fence. He says the diversity of views on the charismata within Acts 29: "reflects a fairly important difference in ministry philosophy, not to mention theology, which in turn reflects a rather broader theological bandwidth than I am used to within Newfrontiers."
Of course, this is correct. The charismata does have a different emphasis in Newfrontiers than it does in Acts 29, and in fact as it does in the worldview/experience of Sam Storms.
Charismata in Newfrontiers
New frontiers was pioneered by Terry Virgo and was a product of the charismatic movement of the 60s. The charismatic movement took different forms. One stream flowed into the Old mainline denominations, other streams flowed into the historic pentecostal denominations and others flowed out into new churches. One particular expression of the new churches was the restoration movement. New Frontiers, however else it may have evolved over the years (e.g. from a house church movement to a mega-church movement) has an ethos that is firmly rooted in the charismatic and apostolic restorationist movement. You can get a grasp of Newfrontiers' history and core values, and development by reading Terry Virgo's books on the church: 'Restoration of the Church' (1985); 'No Well-Worn Paths: Restoring the Church to its original intention' (2001); and 'The Spirit-Filled Church: Finding Your Place in God's Purpose' (2011).
To understand Newfrontiers' theology of the charismata you need to understand its pneumatology and its ecclesiology. In terms of its theology of the Holy Spirit, in line with its charismatic history and tradition, Newfrontiers still seems to operate within a framework which understands the baptism in the Holy Spirit as a distinct and separate experience from conversion (however, given their lack of Statement of Faith, this is more assumed). It is not clear whether they make speaking in tongues "an" or "the" evidence, but Terry Virgo's connection between baptism in the Spirit and speaking in tongues is clearly emphasised in his latest book.
For restorationists there is a direct link between 'baptism in the Spirit'; 'operating in gifts of power' and 'expression of gifts within the context of the local church'. For the consistent restorationist, gifts must be expressed in the context of public worship. It's a primary distinctive.
This is why Wilson argues that charismata "is not an issue on which you can sit on the fence: you either "eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially prophecy," or you don't". What this means is, 'miraculous' gifts must ne normative if we are to be faithful to the New Testament Church pattern for public worship.
It is no wonder that folks in the Newfrontiers camp will be encouraged by Storms book. (I haven't read it, although I agree with the points that Timmis makes in his review of it). However, Sam Storms' theology of the charismata has been formed in a different context to that of Newfrontiers. Sam Storms' background is the Vineyard church. Or, if you prefer to think in terms of movements, the Third Wave (see 'Riding the Third Wave: What Comes After Renewal?' edited by Kevin Springer and introduced by John Wimber).
The 'Third Wave' was really a major revision of the pentecostal and charismatic theologies. Pentecostalism made baptism in the Spirit and tongue-speaking essential – it was polemic and divisive; the charismatic movement made these things normative, and more widely accepted; the Third Wave returned to a classical evangelical understanding of baptism in the Spirit (happens at conversion) and separated the gifts of the Spirit from the baptism. It also placed 'gifts' or rather 'power tools' in the context of mission. Miracles, in this context, (in theory) were not so much about the church service, and more intended as signs to accompany the preaching of the gospel. In other words, they were a missional tool. (However, many charismatic churches, including Newfrontiers' have been influenced by the Third Wave and vice versa).
The ideology of charismata as a missional tool was not always realized in the Vineyard movement. When the Kansas City church (Mike Bickle), where Sam Storms was based, joined the movement, a lot of emphasis was placed on spiritual manifestations. The movement really went off the edge during this stage. There were false prophecies, sensationalism, and scandals (See my review of Bill Jackson's The Radical Middle).
Since we are thinking in terms of Waves. It is worth noting that the current missional movement is probably the next stage in the evolution of contemporary evangelicalism. With each development, 'charismata' is given a slightly different emphasis. In the missional context, mission, contextualization and the gospel are what matters. And, where and when charismata can serve this purpose – that is good and well. And if it doesn't, then it shouldn't be the focus. This is why Steve Timmis can disagree with Storms yet say: "although I'm not a cessationist—nor even a functional cessationist—I'm not and would not describe myself a charismatic."
It's also why Timmis can say:
I'd love to see the dead raised. I want to see cancers healed with thrilling frequency. I covet testimonies of multiple people having their hearts' secrets exposed so they acknowledge God is indeed among his people. But I don't. The anecdotal evidence cited by good friends is underwhelming. I can and do ask. I can and do expect. At times, I could even be accused of pestering my heavenly Father for these things.
But as I wait, the Lord continues to work powerfully by his Spirit in transforming lovers of self into lovers of God and others. I see many evidences of lives changed, and of sustaining grace. I hear God speak directly and pertinently through his Word as it's faithfully taught. So, brothers and sisters, press on with the daily task of following Jesus with joy, even amid sacrifice.
This is where there is a contradiction in Wilson's response. If we look at his statement in the light of Timmis' comments it is clearly seen:
It's intriguing because, as a local church, it is not an issue on which you can sit on the fence: you either "eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially prophecy," or you don't (although the degree to which you do this can obviously vary).
On the one hand, he is saying you can't sit on the fence with the pursuit and expression of charismata yet on the other hand he is saying the degrees to which this outworked can be varied. Yet, it seems as if Timmis' position is excluded from the scale, despite the fact he says he is not a cessationist. How is that possible? It's possible because Wilson's ecclesiastical and theological moorings demand a more central place for charismata. For Wilson (and probably Storms) charismata/miracles must be normative. But this is exactly the reason why Timmis must reject the premise underpinning Storms book – and also the premise underpinning charismatic theology.
The real issue here is not cessationism versus charismatic theology, the issue is how a theology of the Spirit is worked out in practice. It is a question of what is considered to be normative in church life and what is not. From a New Testament point of view, what is central, the gifts of the Spirit or the Gospel of Christ and the Word of God? If you try and make both central tenets, what is at stake? I would argue that you end up with two competing authorities. You end up with the authority of scripture, and the authority of individual experience. Sola-scriptura will be undermined, despite our best efforts to make that not the case. Further, Nobel Prize winning scientist, Francis Collins, makes the following observations about miracles.
The only thing that will kill the possibility of miracles more quickly than a committed materialism is the claiming of miracle status for everyday events for which natural explanations are readily at hand.
In my experience, this is problem that charismatic practice can create. When everything is miraculous, nothing is miraculous. As Timmis highlights, on the one hand charismatics claim that the same miracle-power that the Apostles walked in is available to all, but the reality is most charismatics are "happy to accept a lower standard of "success".
Collins further makes the point, regarding healing:
More difficult to evaluate are the claims of miraculous healing from medical problems. As a physician, I have occasionally seen circumstances where individuals recovered from illnesses that appeared not to be reversible. Yet I am loath to ascribe those events to miraculous intervention, given our incomplete understanding of illness and how it affects the human body. All too often, when claims of miraculous healing have been carefully investigated by objective observers, those claims have fallen short. Despite those misgivings, and an insistence that such claims be backed up by extensive evidence, I would not be stunned to hear that such genuine miraculous healings do occur on extremely rare occasions. My "prior" is low, but it is not zero.
The importance of these issues is often overlooked in charismatic contexts. I overlooked them myself for many years. But we need to be realists. Faith cannot mean the redefining of reality. Again, it would seem to me that a biblical understanding of miracles and charismata is to recognise that God does work supernaturally, but at the same time it is not normative. There is no 'key' to 'unlock'. There is no secret technique to discover. Charismatic theology ever forces us to embrace the next solution. Why? Because reality does not match ideology. If miracles are to be normative, why do we not see them more? And to answer that question, there is always the next book, the next method and the next strategy about how to become more supernatural. The irony being we end up less supernatural because we have substituted confidence in God's sovereign power with a human methodology.
Further, in the constant search for the supernatural element in modern 'prophecy' we lose sight of the supernatural element in the ordinary means of grace. God in the midst of his gathered church, his grace conveyed by the means of Word and sacrament. This is supernatural. Maybe the problem is we are in search of the signs, rather than the reality itself – which is God in the midst of his people.
Acts 29 in many ways is reflective of contemporary evangelical culture. In contrast to the pentecostal churches, and charismatic movements (like Newfrontiers), a diversity of views of spiritual gifts and miracles exists. Movements that make charismata a central tenet in some ways, I think, in decline. Certainly, in the UK, with the shift towards contemporary missional churches, charismata is becoming less and less part of the bread and butter of public worship. Participation in collective praying and prophesying has been replaced by worship that is driven by a professional band, or rendered almost impractical where the church is large. Consequently, in practice, many pentecostal and charismatic churches are indistinguishable from any other evangelical church.
What does this mean for Storms book and Acts 29? I don't know, I'm not in that movement. Will some Acts 29 churches become more actively charismatic in practice? Maybe. Will all of them? I doubt it. Not if Timmis' review is anything to go by. In that sense, Acts 29 will just be like every other network of independent churches – some will be more charismatic than others. Whilst this may be a "broader theological band-width" than is the norm at Newfrontiers, it is more reflective of the global church scene. And, I have a sneaking suspicion that it is more reflective of Newfrontiers – or certainly where Newfrontiers is heading. Ever since Newfrontiers split into spheres, my understanding is that some have headed down more charismatic routes (e.g. Bethel) whereas others would be more focused on expository preaching, and would be sceptical of anything as extreme as Bethel.
What will Acts 29 look like in the future? Who knows. If we can learn anything from the past though, the Vineyard movement suffered when it allowed the Kansas City church (which Storms was a part of) to set the trend in terms of a 'supernatural' emphasis. As a result, church planting and mission suffered. It would be a great pity if Acts 29 suffered the same fate – that is, if charismata took such central stage that it begins to hinder rather than enable mission.

Madden NFL 25 Roster Update #13 Posted
I have posted Roster Update #13 for week 12 of the NFL season to the Madden NFL 25 page.
In addition I have made some updates for the site. All of the pages for the NBA Live and NBA 2K games have been reformatted so the teams are now by division. This saves room on the pages and gives it a cleaner look. To view each team's roster in its entirety, just click on the image for a pop-out version. I have also formatted the NBA Live 09 rosters into images as well.
And finally I have been working away at adding individual player pages to the website. Currently I have done 55 players! I think this is a fun and new thing to bring to the site since people are always asking "what is blah blah's rating?" and such. Player pages act as a timeline of that player's football history as well as video game rating history. You can either use the the Players page itself, or by using the website's search feature to find specific player ratings. The search feature isn't particularly amazing, but it does search through a fair amount of the uploaded files as well as all the key player pages to dig up results.
If anyone has any player pages requests let me know! Enjoy!

Perfect listening for those on a spiritual path
Steven Ryals does an excellent job of explaining our human condition as well as spiritual solutions to the ego that rules our existence on this plane. I heartily say "well done Steven"! I love to listen to audiobooks in the morning while preparing for the day and also when I am working out.
This book compares to such titles as The Power of Now and The Untethered Soul.
I love to read but the ability to listen when reading is difficult/impossible (such as driving or working out) is powerful. I also like being able to listen to a book to fall asleep when my eyes are too tired to read.
I highly recommend this book and will listen to it whenever I need a spiritual "fix".

Authored by Nick Srnicek and Alex Willaims, (2015), Verso.
The title
I was reluctant to read the book 'Inventing the future: Postcapitalism and a world without work'. Almost everything about the title of the book put me off. For a start, and this is perhaps a matter of taste, the phrase 'Inventing the future' struck me as extremely grandiose and pretentious. 'I bet they're idiots', I thought to myself, upon first hearing the title. 'Pretentious, self-aggrandising, ungrounded, twits. I bet that book sucks.' Having said this, it should be remembered that publishers often have a say over book titles.
My second problem with the title was more analytical, and it seemed this was less likely to be an issue with the publishers. They use the phrase 'post-capitalism' in the title. Is this some trendy, uber-non-offensive way of saying 'socialism'? When I hear such phrases, alarm bells start ringing, and I suspect I'm about to engage with someone apolitical. Someone that doesn't see the necessity of class conflict. Furthermore, the word 'post' implies a patience with capitalism which I don't have. I'm reminded of when Paul Mason turned up at Naomi Klein's This Changes Everything conference and he gave a talk in which it seemed he thought advances in technology would eventually lead rather naturally to an alternative type of economy (although I couldn't quite grasp what kind of economy he was talking about). And he didn't mention class struggle. I'm not a post-capitalist, I'm an anti-capitalist. I don't want to wait for capitalism to somehow naturally run its course and develop into something different. God knows how long that will take and how much more damage will have been done to people and planet in that time. No. I want people to come together to force through a socialist revolution right now. In fact I'm a bit vexed it didn't happen yesterday.
Thirdly, 'a world without work', suggested that this was a book about vision. This is fine, but choosing this one feature of a future society to focus on - labour practices (or lack thereof), seemed problematic. What about the political set up? The decision making? The title suggested an automated utopia, but an automated world is only a utopia for all people if they have equal control over goods and services. Again, is this going to be a communist/socialist world? And did the authors plan on laying out some ideas for getting there? If not, the book seemed more or less a waste of time. There are already many utopian schemes such as 'the Venus Project', which don't seem particularly relevant to anything.
But I decided to read the book. A friend of mine had started reading it and, talking to her, I got the impression that the book was as scathing about the state of the current-day revolutionary left as me. So I thought it might be interesting. Another reason I thought I should check it out was that one of the authors is speaking at the Radical Assembly's Future Society event, which I don't really plan on going to, but it would be good to know what other people in the network are thinking about. Then I found out Verso had a 90% off sale, so it would cost me less than two quid. Nothing else on the Verso site jumped out at me so I decided to give Inventing the Future a shot.
The book
The book started with a critique of the current day activist left, which I mostly agreed with. They criticise the lack of large scale revolutionary thinking, and also the reactive, fire-fighter politics, and politics of protest prevalent on the left today. I was largely happy with this critique, and think this chapter is probably worth a read.[1] After this critique of the current left's 'folk politics' as they call it, I was waiting for a discussion of how the left could, as a solution to this situation, build mass, powerful working class institutions, perhaps on an international scale which pose a genuine threat to the reigning order. However, such a discussion never came.
Instead, they talked a lot in the book about the Mont Pelerin Society (MPS), Friedrich Hayek's neoliberal think tank. Established in the 1940's, the MPS helped set up several other think tanks, which Srnicek and Williams (S&W) claim are largely responsible for the changes from post-war Keynesianism to our current 'neoliberal' global economic set up. The authors' central proposal was that the left takes influence from this organisation by building its own network of think tanks and becoming influential in education and the mainstream media. I was disappointed by this strategy suggestion to put it mildly.
Firstly, S&W fail to acknowledge that insofar as these neoliberal think tanks gained popularity with power centres, it was because their ideas are supportive of increasing the power of the bourgeoisie. Where their ideas conflict with bourgeois power, they are largely rejected. No head of state considers really implementing Austrian economics, and letting the major banks fail, for example. Further, rather than being masterminded by the MPS, economic shifts towards neoliberalism have largely reflected shifts in the balance of power between, in blunt terms, working class organisations and the bourgeoisie.[2] The idea that this process was driven by any think tanks seems to be a bizarrely naive misreading of history.
Further, the suggestion that leftist think tanks could replicate the supposed ideological success of the MPS, seems fanciful to say the least. This is not to say I don't think the left should have a network of think tanks or try to be as influential as possible in all forms of media and education (although keeping in mind the problems that come with engaging with especially the mainstream media). However, it is ridiculous to suggest the mainstream media and education systems would ever let revolutionaries become anywhere near hegemonic.
Some of S&W's other suggestions were fine, even inspiring. Their proposal that the left needs to reclaim the territory of big visions, progress and utopian thinking was welcome. I enjoyed the discussion of the long term vision of fully automated society in which people are provided for and all are free to pursue their own interests. I could also get on board with some of the reforms they suggest as stepping stones, including universal basic income and a four day working week. They also mention various interesting tactical ideas such as 'proxy strikes' in France where workers don't declare a strike, so still get paid, but allow the community to blockade or occupy the workplace.
However, there are some issues around their future society and reform proposals. Firstly, it is unclear how they are applicable to rural, peasant societies which still exist in large parts of the world. But even further than this, as mentioned, the book isn't very helpful in terms of providing a credible strategy for how the left in the West can get from where it is now, in a state of weak 'folk-politics', to a globally hegemonic movement with the power to achieve fully automated luxury communism, or even the intermittent reforms. So whilst the book has some interesting ideas, it is not really a very practical guide for revolutionaries, as one might hope from the grandiose title 'Inventing the Future'. In fact the core strategy suggestions from S&W, if taken seriously by enough current activists (you never know), could possibly manage to weaken the revolutionary left even further. An impressive feat.
On the other hand, in terms of proposing "the left's" go-to revolutionary utopian ideas, then the book does this in a lively, and thought-provoking way in parts. And the critique of the present day "left" is largely worth paying attention to. Plus it's not that long. So overall I found it a good effort and worth reading.
[1] Having said this, I'm not sure how original the critique is. I feel I've been reading similar critiques for the last 10 years. John Sanbonmatsu's 'The Postmodern Prince: Critical Theory, Left Strategy and the Making of a New Political Subject' (2003), Monthly Review Press, is an early example. A recent example is this Scott Jay blog post 'The postmodern left and the success of neoliberalism': http://libcom.org/library/postmodern-left-success-neoliberalism.
[2] See David Harvey's book 'A Brief History of Neoliberalism'. There are free PDFs of it online. S&W try to refute Harvey's arguments in the book but I don't think they do a good job of it. They argue that because Keyensianism was dominant and was seen as being in the interest of capitalists, this shows neoliberalism was not brought about due to class interests. But they fail to consider that Keyesnianism was temporarily seen as being in the interests of the bourgeoisie to make concessions to the working class in the face of a well-organised, potentially revolutionary working class.

From the introduction:
Goblintown is a role-playing game about the wretched (but never dull) lives of a warren of goblins trying to defend their community against endless perils. It is suitable for either a one-shot or a short campaign. Each session plays out in about 60-90 minutes, but you can easily chain two or three events together for a more involved story about the volatile fortunes of the town. The game is designed for a group of 4-6 total players: 1 GM who "runs" the game and 3-5 players with goblin characters.

SEATTLE – Seattle Sounders duo Eddie Johnson and Brad Evans are no strangers to having memorable matches at CenturyLink Field, but on Tuesday night they did so while wearing a different jersey.
Johnson and Evans enjoyed a night they won't soon forget by helping the US men's national team pick up three more points in their World Cup qualifying bid with a 2-0 triumph over Panama. Both players contributed in roles they do not traditionally man in MLS action, but they still managed to enjoy solid overall nights in front of many of the same fans that watch them on a weekly basis at the club level.
Of the two, Johnson had the better overall performance, and it came as a right-sided midfielder. Not only was Johnson one of the few players who beat Panamanian defenders on the dribble consistently, but he also scored the insurance goal in the second half with a clinical finish that followed a great run in behind the defense.
USMNT 2, Panama 0 | World Cup Qualifying Match Recap
"I didn't know it was a goal. I knew the ball was good and it was just about my first touch," said Johnson. "Your first touch is everything, you're setting yourself up for your next touch, and I had already crossed my defender and the most important thing for me was to relax and be composed in the box. My first touch was good, and I'm a winger [tonight] but I became a striker in the box and I scored the goal."
Johnson had scored under Klinsmann previously, but the two goals he had netted came in a 2-1 road victory over Antigua & Barbuda last fall when he played at left midfielder. Still, being in new territory on Tuesday did not prevent Johnson from making an impact on both sides of the ball.
"We really tried to concentrate on playing together and really trying to lock the side down," said Evans. "They were still looking for balls over the top and good teams and good players are going to find a way somehow to break you down, and they did a couple times tonight, but I think Eddie and myself did well.

"For him to turn it on in the second half and still have that energy, that pace and that endurance to get in behind and score that goal is something special. And to do it in front of your home crowd, he'll remember that forever."
Evans himself had a topsy-turvy first half at right back. He was seemingly targeted by Panama, but responded with an improved second half.
Evans' showing, which came after he scored the winner in a 2-1 victory in Jamaica last Friday, continued to make the case that he is more than serviceable as a right back at the international level and US head coach Jurgen Klinsmann made sure to point that out during his postgame press conference.
"Brad Evans is growing into this role, is making a very strong case for himself in our group," said Klinsmann. "He can play that role."
READ: USMNT backline takes another step forward in shutout victory over Panama
Johnson and Evans may have had distinct showings in the game, but both of them will likely remember Tuesday's match for helping the US move one step closer to the 2014 World Cup. Both players seemed to improve their standings within a team that is full of competition at all positions.
"Since we try to double our positions and we try to have always somebody behind that is almost as good as the starter," said Klinsmann, "Eddie's role was in case something happened to Graham Zusi – or even on the left flank, you can throw him in there, even if up top something happens – he's done tremendously and it serves a huge compliment.
"Talking about Brad before and Eddie, I'm constantly talking to [Sounders coach] Sigi [Schmid] here [about] how they're doing, and we've got the feeling that we can follow him and help him and therefore we're very pleased to have him in such a strong shape now."

Hello Merchants:
I manage a few programs in a few different networks and I have been a lot of fraudulent activity from one "sly" affiliate who is signing up under many aliases and sending fraudulent sales. This affiliate is from Syracuse NY and signs up as many different aliases, but goes to one PO Box.
This has become a hassle, but this affiliate has also been sending very low numbers of conversions under multiple affiliate names and using other URL's, if you manually approve.

I am not sure how this general information can help anyone...I am pretty sure every merchant has heard of this very common fraud....Sounds like it is new to you and you are just thinking aloud.
May 13th, 2004, 08:30 AM #3
Yes I've noticed this before as well. I happened to notice (in my program) applicants from a particular Canadian addy. Luckily they to applied on the same day. Can you say DENIED! Not too smart, eh? (Sorry for the Canadian ref, had to do it though)

This directory is compiled into the perl executable, and therefore virtualy immutable without a recompilation and unknowable without resorting to hacking That directory is intended for holding extensions that I, the system administrator, want to have available on my system for my users and I to be able to access without having to muck about with @INC. >It shouldn't even be in /usr. _What_ shouldn't even be in /usr?
