YASHAM: My name is Yasham, and I'm a new believer. So I kind of have a complex question. The
Trinity...I understand the Holy Ghost. I understand God, our Father. And then, I get to Christ. And
there are references in the Bible that He's the Lord. There's references that He is the Son of God,
that He is Son of Man, and, that He also takes care of the earth. But, we also are praying to God,
Father. So, I'm confused.
JOHN: Well, you're not really confused. You're just right on target. And, you've recognized the
mystery of the Trinity. And the mystery of the Trinity is that the Spirit is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of
God. The Spirit is the Spirit of Christ as well. You have the Spirit of Christ dwelling in you. You have
the Spirit of God dwelling in you, and, you have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you. God is the Creator,
and yet, all things are made by Christ. And yet, it was the Holy Spirit who moved over the face of the
waters and brought creation into existence. You pray to God, and yet, you can pray to the Son of
God, and you can also pray to the Spirit of God, and you have indications of that all throughout
You see particular responsibilities that members of the Trinity have, but, as far as the person is
concerned, you cannot draw hard lines between them. We do know that God is the Creator; the Old
Testament talks about that. He is the Creator. And, thus, He bears the name Father as the Source,
as it were. But, we also know that nothing was made without Christ. That's the way the gospel of
John begins. "All things were made by Him, and nothing was made that was not made by Him." And
so we do understand that, while the Father was doing the creation, as identified in the Old Testament,
He was not apart from the Son, nor was He apart from the Spirit.
You have, in the Trinity, an indivisible oneness, and yet, specifically, there are duties that members of
the Trinity are stated to have been given. The Father, as we understand, is primarily viewed in
Scripture as the Creator and the Source of Life. The Son is primarily viewed as the Savior and the
Redeemer, but God is also the Redeemer: "God our Redeemer," the Old Testament says. And, so, I
understand the confusion, but it's not really confusion. It is simply an awakening, recognition of the
mystery of the Trinity. God and Jesus are the same. God and the Holy Spirit are the same, and yet,
they are distinctly three persons. Now, that is paradoxical, apparently, to us, that is contradictory,
apparently to us, and that is inscrutable. If you have one God, one God, and that one God has
always had three persons within the one God.
It is not...there are old heresies that say, "God is the Father," then He changes his mask, and He
becomes the Son, then He changes His mask and becomes the Holy Spirit. That's heresy. God is
one, and yet, three distinct persons. And yet, we cannot distinguish them completely.
For example, God is portrayed in the Bible as Judge many, many times. God sits on throne as the
judge of the earth. And yet, it tells us in the gospel of John that He has committed all judgment to the
Son. At the end of human history, when the Son comes to glory with all of redeemed humanity, He
gives us all, as it were, as a love gift to the Father who gave us all as a love gift to the Son.
You're just awakening to the fact that this is an impossible reality to explain. But it's no more
impossible than infinity or eternity. Can you think of endless, something that's endless? No. I mean,
you can understand the concept, but you can't fathom it in your mind. You can't comprehend eternity.
It's a concept that's beyond our capability as space/time creatures. Nor can we understand the
nature of God as eternal and as one, and yet, three distinct persons. So, what we say about that is,
you can't figure it out. You simply take it as it comes in Scripture. And, clearly, there are three
members of the Trinity. There is the Father; there's the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Why is the son called the Son? For one primary reason, and that is because He bears the same
nature as the Father. It is to make sure that we understand. It's a concession to us as human beings
because the Father didn't create the Son. There never was a time when there was only a Father until
He had a son, and there was never a mother. Those are simply terms to identify, and they did so for
the Jewish mind, "shared nature." A son bears the nature of His Father. And, that is simply a way for
God to establish that the nature of Jesus Christ is the same as the nature of God. When you're in the
Old Testament and there is a text or passages about God...when you see Him as Father in the Old
Testament, you see Him as Father of the nation Israel because He brought the nation into existence.
Or you see Him as Father of mankind because He created mankind. But when you come to the New
Testament, God is identified as the God and Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, not to indicate that God
created Him or brought Him into existence, like He did Israel and the human race, but to indicate that
He is of the same nature. And, Jesus defined that very clearly when he said, "If you've seen me,
you've seen the Father. I and the Father are one. I work and the Father works; and there's no
So you can read books on the Trinity. There's some wonderful things that have been written on the
Trinity. There are some big books and some little books that do their best with the Trinity. And at the
end of the day, you know what happens? All you can do is take the passages about the Father, line
'em up and explain 'em. Take the passages about the Son, line 'em up and explain 'em. Take the
passages about the Spirit, line 'em up and explain 'em. And, you find a lot of overlap because when
one works, the other works, and it still will never explain the impossible mystery of how He can be
one and three at the same time.
YASHAM: So, the last part of this is then...why is it necessary to come through Jesus into Heaven, if
they're one and the same?
JOHN: Because God says so. Now, I'll explain a little more. Not a lot, but a little more. God
determines everything with regard to creation and redemption. And God has determined that He will
save sinners through the sacrifice of the second member of the Trinity who becomes flesh. There is
no way to answer the question, "Why did God choose to do it that way?" except to say, that's what He
chose to do, and those are the terms. And, apart from Christ, there is no salvation, "No man comes
to the Father, but by me."
In the broad sense, taking it one step further, why did God do what He did? You can look at it this
way, why did God allow evil in the first place, so that He had to set out to redeem man? Answer:
Because God's nature is gracious. God's nature is merciful. God's nature is forgiving. God's nature
is kindness and tenderness. God's nature is compassion. And if He's going to put His nature on
display for the holy angels to see and glorify Him, then, there has to be an environment in which
grace and mercy and forgiveness and compassion function. And if you don't have a fall, then you
don't have any kind of environment where God can manifest the glory that is revealed in those
attributes. And so God, ultimately, for the sake of His own eternal glory, created and allowed a fall,
both of angels and of humans. And, thereby, can display His grace and mercy and love and
On the other hand, God is a God of justice and judgment and vengeance and wrath and holy
righteous anger. He is a God of punishment. And, those things would never be on display if there
were not sinners, and there was not judgment and there was not eternal punishment.
The big answer to all the questions is: God chooses to do what He does. God allows for what is the
way it is in order that in the end He might demonstrate the fullness of who He is. Okay?
And, when you asked the question about why is Salvation through His Son...what greater
demonstration could God ever make of His love than to give up a member of the Trinity whom He
loved with a perfect love? What greater love could ever be demonstrated than that a sinless one
would become sin for a sinner? So, you talk about a display of love. That is the ultimate display of
love for which we will forever and ever and ever praise and glorify God, without which we wouldn't be
able to do that. We wouldn't understand that.
QUESTIONER: On Mother's Day, you had given the sermon about the Proverbs 31 woman. And, I
wanted to ask a question that, about...well, here's the question: If I had a daughter and she expressed
a desire to pursue a professional career, like a medical career, something that was an extensive
amount of education, would I, biblically, should I, discourage her from that kind of pursuit, even if she
displays a talent or interest or propensity? I'm wondering, if you think that that would be a futile,
waste of time, or if, since this daughter of mine has a gift, why not encourage it? I'm just wondering
exactly what...
JOHN: Sure. No, absolutely not. I think if she has an interest in some career like that, and
particularly, the medical field, that's a wonderful place for a woman to serve. If she has an interest in
it, and she has a capability for it, then, I think, she should pursue it. I, I mean, if she has the
opportunity, that's a wonderful, wonderful place to give your life. And you go that path, until it
becomes an issue of whether or not she sacrifices...let's assume she gets married and has a child.
Now, she's going to have to make the decision as to what the priority of her life is going to be. But all
the rest of her life, if she has children and she follows what the Bible says about being a keeper at
home, and maybe, she does a little of her medical stuff on the side, and there're still ways to balance
all of that. But if, if she chooses to do what is right, and to take care of her home and her husband
and raise her children as God has ordained, then that family's going to be all the richer for all that
background and all that training.
Parents ask me that question all the time. They ask me that should I send my daughter to school to
be a teacher, be a school teacher, go through college, learn to be a school teacher, get a credential
to go teach school, and, then, she's going to marry somebody. She's going to have three or four kids.
What's going to happen? Well, they got a teacher in the house. I mean, this is a tremendous
blessing and benediction to the family to have that kind of preparation and that training, and I think,
particularly for young people, you don't know where the Lord's going to take them. But all those skills
can find a place in the Lord's kingdom. I don't think that kind of effort and that kind of direction and
that kind of study and preparation is ever wasted. I think God has a purpose. Sometimes long-term,
sometimes short-term. Sometimes full-time. Sometimes part-time.
QUESTIONER: So you would encourage your daughter or granddaughter to pursue any type on
interest or...educationally as far as they could go. And when a family comes along, you would think
that...would it be...would you call it sin if they continue to have a career and family life.
JOHN: No, I would call it sin if they are unfaithful in fulfilling their responsibility to the family. But there
are people who balance that and balance it well. And there's always a time when the children are
gone. And then that kind of interest can be picked up again. I mean, I think it comes down to the
priorities. And if a woman cares for her husband, cares for her family and does some things on the
side...sometimes people can have a skill that can be used in the home itself. I mean, we've got so
much of that going on today. The issue is the priority of giving your life to your husband and your
family, being faithful keeper at home, lover of your husband, lover of your children, raising a godly
generation. Whatever else you can fit in is good.
And I'll tell you something...there are many women who don't work and don't have any career and
waste an awful lot of time doing virtually nothing valuable. There are other women who are disciplined
and able to work in effective ministries and effective opportunities to help the family.
The Proverbs 31 woman was a woman who had enough sense to save money, find out where a
bargain field was, negotiate the price of the field, buy the field. You know what I'm saying? There,
there was an enterprise there. Sure. It's a question of making sure that you maintain the priority of
the home and the family, and that the children are getting all that they need from you. If you don't
waste the time remaining, but use it productively, there are ways that you can follow those kinds of
I think, women have to be careful, though. I think that you can go into a situation in a career field
where you are in a very vulnerable and exposed environment with regard to men who are not your
husband, and you can be very unprotected and taken advantage of, and put in compromising
situations. That's why they're developing laws all the time...harassment laws, and sexual harassment
in the business place. And I think, if a woman does work, it's really important for a Christian gal, even
if she's single, or if she's working, even as married person before they have children, or working part-
time, that she not put herself in a situation where she's exposed to those kinds of temptations and
those kinds of things that would be dishonoring to the Lord, or would draw her into some compromise.
So, I think, a husband has a responsibility, once you take a wife, to protect her from those kinds of
environments because she is to be submissive to her own husband...not all the men in the office or
wherever. So, it's a delicate thing. And I think every family has to work that out. But I think the more
educated a young lady is, the more she follows those kinds of opportunities with the realization that
God has given skills in that area, and God has allowed this to take place, that down the road, God
probably has a good purpose for it all.
JOHN W.: Hi, my name is John Widenmetter, and it's the passage in Genesis 17:8, to the question.
And it's an eschatological question. And it's basically just out of concern of defending a premillennial
point of view. And, basically, God is talking to Abraham, and He says, in Genesis 17:8, "Also, I give
to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan as
an everlasting possession, and I will be their God." And I was just wondering if you take that in a
literal sense, the land of Canaan, how it's possible to be an everlasting possession when it says in 2
Peter 3 that the heavens and earth are going to be totally destroyed or annihilated without allegorizing
this verse.
JOHN: You know, the substantial answer to that is, that the Hebrew phrase, everlasting possession,
is always qualified by the context. Always. I mean you see that numerous, numerous times
throughout the Old Testament. Does everlasting always mean eternal? No, it does not. The context,
again, dictates that. When He said here, "I give you and your descendants after you the land in which
you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan as an everlasting possession," that also forces the question
up, well why were there so many centuries that they didn't have the land?
So, again you have to interpret that in the light of what unfolds in history. And, you have to interpret
that term, everlasting, also in relationship to what the Bible teaches eschatologically. And we do
clearly know that, as you pointed out, that the current heaven and the current earth is going to
dissolve. The elements are going to melt with fervent heat. It's going to all be replaced after it's
uncreated by a new heaven and a new earth. Now, there are some who would say that in the new
heaven and in the new earth there will be some kind of Canaan. I don't know. There are some who
say, metaphorically or symbolically, the whole new heaven and the whole new earth will be a kind of
Promised Land, a kind of Canaan. But, I think it's better just to understand that you're going to run
into the term everlasting possession, or everlasting I should say, in cases where it's not always
eternal. There are, there're a number of them in the Old Testament. Okay? Good question.
Yes, ma'am.
QUESTIONER: Pastor, I wanna know...I saw Mary Tyler Moore the other day talk about stem-cell
research, and, I want to know what you think of it?
JOHN: I didn't get the first part of that.
QUESTIONER: Mary Tyler Moore went to the Senate and asked about stem-cell research.
JOHN: Oh, Mary Tyler Moore went to talk about stem-cell research, and what do I think of it? Yeah,
what do I think of cloning and stem-cell research? Well, I'll tell you in very simple terms. I'm against
that because what you have to do in that whole process, is create life, and then, destroy it. It's
essentially...it's an external fertilization of an egg to create a life and then destroy it for the genetic
material. So, if we believe that a fertilized egg constitutes life, we've got life. We're destroying life.
This is, essentially, the same argument that we've made against abortion. We do not have the right
to kill. We do not have the right to take life. And, that is exactly what that's all about. That's why the
President came out against all of that because he understands that. You can't go into a lab and
create life for the purpose of destroying it, for the purpose of saving someone's life. This is
convoluted. There is available human material from people already. You can draw DNA a lot of ways
out of living human beings, and if we want to do that kind of research, we have ample supply of
what's necessary to do that without creating life to kill it.
So, we take the position, many, of course, all those who are biblical, take the position that that's
wrong. That's against God. Okay, good.
TOM: Yes, hi. I have a question...you spoke a little about this morning regarding false teachers and
money. You said on several occasions, more or less, that false teachers are basically always in it for
the money, and that's been a bit confusing to me, even though I know the Biblical picture seems to
always include that, because it seems there are examples of those that teach falsehood, but don't
appear to be driven by the financial gain involved.
An example might be, Mahatma Gandhi, or ascetic Gnostics, or a number of others who, maybe are
works related and working very hard to do what they do. They don't seem to be in it for monetary
gain, but they're still teaching what is not true.
JOHN: Yeah, I mean, obviously, in a sense, the exception proves the rule. With regard to ascetics,
they're not really a threat because typically they don't teach. You know, they just go somewhere and
contemplate with their navel all by themselves. So those monastic types that deprive themselves of
everything...you're not going to find a lot of false teachers joining that group. Those people are the
disillusioned people. As I said in the message I did on the Scandal of the Catholic priesthood, those
kind of monks and nuns were preyed upon by the priests when they were in life crisis that had
crushed them emotionally. And, in the moments of their sensitivity, they were driven in that direction.
But when we talk in general about false teachers...I think you could even make a case for Mahatma
Gandhi. We would like to think that he was the purest of the pure in his motivation, but he was
virtually without need because he rose to the heights of power in India and was one of the most
powerful men in the world. So, you know, whatever it is that he felt he needed, he was immediately
But, I think you will find people who haven't figured out how to get the money or haven't figured out
they're false teachers yet. There are some people who are false teachers, and I don't know that they
really know they're false teachers. They're teaching falsehoods sincerely is a good way to
understand it. But again, the Lord knows more about their motives than I do, and so from what the
Scripture says, they're in it for personal gain. All I can say is that is a divine estimate of their heart
attitude. They may not...I don't know what's going on inside. I always wonder that.
You know when I meet with the leaders of the Mormon Church and all that and my question always
is, "What is going on inside these guys? Do they know that they're liars and deceivers speaking
demon doctrine driven by seducing spirits? And do they know they're leading people to Hell? And
are they so driven to be prominent and powerful and influential and thereby to have gain? Or, are
these people duped? And I don't know that I always know the answer to that. But I think, again, you
go back to the diagnosis of Scripture, that the motives are always corrupt, unless the motives are
pure, and the only pure motive is the glory of God, and apart from that, there's some measure of
personal gain involved in that.
JOHN: Hi.
JANE: I'm...I'm a bit nervous here, so...my question's pertaining to the passage in Deuteronomy
24:16. It says, "Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor sons be put to death for the
fathers: every one shall be put to death for his own sins." My question is, why there are times when
God allows men to judge or God Himself judges people, children for the sins of their fathers, such as
Dathan and Abiram had little children who were swallowed up by the earth because they sinned
against...they rebelled against Moses and Aaron. And, the wives and children of the accusers of
Daniel were thrown into the lions' den with them, and seven of Saul's descendants were executed by
the Gibeonites because of Saul's sin against them.
JOHN: Right. The question is a big question, and the question is, Ezekiel...Deuteronomy...I'm
thinking Ezekiel 18...Deuteronomy 24. And Ezekiel 18 is the parallel passage to that. Ezekiel 18 is a
very important passage. And, what it says there is, "The sins of the fathers are not visited upon the
children." What it also says there is that "the sins of the children are not visited upon the parents," so
that every person stands before God accountable for his own sin. Okay? In other words, there, God
is not going to punish me for what my father did. God is not going to punish you for what your
parents did. God is not going to punish your parents for what you did. That's Ezekiel 18, a very, very
important portion of Scripture.
Then, the question she's asking...I think I understand it...is why then in the Bible do you have
illustrations of the fact that God seemed to act in judgment against a whole family? For example,
probably the most notable one is Achan. You remember that Achan stole and he hid, and when God
came, they punished his whole family. And the best answer to that, and I think, the answer that is the
correct one, is that there was complicity there. Because God is going to be true to His own Word.
God is going to be faithful to His own Word. We can assume, then, that that family was involved to
some degree in what was going on. There was some level of complicity at that point. In other words,
they were engaged somehow as partners in the crime.
The sons of Saul, another illustration of those who had engaged themselves in the same kind of sin
and iniquity and patterns of unrighteousness that their father, Saul, had engaged in.
And the other question, of course, that has to be asked is, does anyone deserve to live another day
and take another breath? And the answer is no because the soul that sins, it shall die. The wages of
sin is death. And if God chooses to take the life of anyone, He cannot be questioned because all
have sinned. All. And so the fact that God takes a life could never be an act that is unjust, could
never be a violation of God's holy justice. Every soul sins. Every soul, therefore, deserves to die.
And there are times in the accounts that we've mentioned that Achan and Saul and times like that
when God knows the complicity of that family and that evil, or knows that the sins of some people
have penetrated the lives of their children so that there is culpability and guilt and God roots it all out,
almost like making sure you get all the tumor when you do a cancer surgery.
So I think that's the way we have to understand it, but in cases like that, those children are not being
punished for any sin committed by the father. They're being punished because they share in
culpability in those things. They bear their own guilt.
JANE: So, we're assuming these children were old enough and mature enough to comprehend what
their fathers were doing and, therefore, they pay the price. They're not toddlers.
JOHN: In the case, in the case of those children, and that's the next part of the question I want to
answer, those children taken by God are, again, a demonstration of God's power and judgment on
life. But, as I point out, in the new book, "Safe In The Arms Of God," I believe those children are
taken into the presence of God. So, in a sense, for those little ones, it's a rescue operation. And, I
think, that's one of the reasons you have such high mortality rates, high infant mortality rates in the
unchristian, non-Christian cultures. The more pagan, the more distant a culture is from anything
Christian...it seems, the more primitive it is, the higher the mortality rates typically tend to be, and, I
think, God is always in a rescue operation. He may be taking the parents because of their sin, and
taking the children to rescue them from the same kind of life the parents would have.
But, all of that, you know, in the end of the discussion, it's in the mind of God, and only He knows
what His specific purpose is in each situation. But, one thing is absolutely clear. That is, no child will
ever be directly punished for the sin of a parent. And, no parent ever punished for the sin of a child.
There's no stigma there. It doesn't cross over before God, and it should not cross over with us,
either. In other words, if you know a child that's sinful and wicked, that doesn't conclude...and some
great disaster comes on his life, it doesn't conclude anything about his father. Or, the reverse, if a
father is terribly wicked and there's something that happens in a disaster in the family, and might even
include one of his children, it's not necessary to conclude that they're being punished for the father.
Where there is culpability, mutual culpability or consent to a crime, then, I think, like with Achan, I
think everybody was involved and that was very clear. And, again, back to the children. When the
Lord takes the children, I think, it's a rescue operation.
But, at the end of the day in God's mind He knows why He does everything, and the question is
answered best like this, shall not the judge of all the earth do right? And, God will always be
consistent with His word. Okay?
QUESTIONER: In Matthew 8:17, in the context of Jesus' healing ministry, it says, "In order that what
was spoken through Isaiah, the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying, He Himself took our infirmities and
carried away our diseases." Now, I understand that's supposed to be a quotation of Isaiah 53, like
around 4, 5, and 6, if I'm correct.
JOHN: Yep.
QUESTIONER: But, when I read that, it says, "But He was pierced through...He was pierced through
for our transgressions, and He was crushed for our iniquities." Now, when I read it in the context of
His healing ministry, I think, it's talking about physical sickness and disease. When I read the Isaiah
53 passage, it seems to be spiritual sin. That seems to be the context. And, usually, when I find the
Old Testament quoted in the New Testament, it's usually dead-on. It doesn't seem to be the case in
this situation.
JOHN: Well, let me just put a little corrective in there. When you do find New Testament writers
quoting the Old Testament, there often is a significant variation. Very often, there is a significant
variation. For example, "Out of Egypt have I called my son." It says that when Jesus came out of
Egypt after having been taken there to avoid death from Herod. The prophecy was, "This is that
which was written by the prophet, "Out of Egypt, how I called my son." Well, there's no way, in
reading the prophecy in the Old Testament you would ever conclude that the comment there,
referring to the exodus of Israel out of Egypt, had anything to do with a Messiah coming hundreds of
years later who would be taken out of Egypt and brought back to the land of Israel.
So, the New Testament writers do exercise inspired authority over the interpretation and application.
I think the truth was inherent in the Old Testament text. I think the intention of God was there, but I
don't think there would be any way to understand the fullness of that intention without what the New
Testament says. You would never know, "Out of Egypt have I called my Son," was a reference to the
Messiah, until that's what happened, and then, you say, "Wow, there it was!" But, the Old Testament
writer might be looking at that in the terms of 1 Peter searching to see what it was really meaning
because he had no way to understand that.
So, when you come to Isaiah 53, and you read, "He took our infirmities, and He bore our sicknesses,"
we understand that the context of Isaiah 53 is talking about our sins, our iniquities because the rest of
the verses all refer to that. But, when you get to the New Testament, and Jesus begins to do His
healing ministry, you have previews of coming attractions in that, because now the text...and all the
while was intended to mean that...but now the text is expanded in its interpretation to cover not only
our sins, but our physical healing.
I hasten to add, you believe that in the atonement you receive physical healing. We all do. It's not
now that we receive that. It's at our glorification. And, what Jesus was demonstrating in His miracle
power was that He not only had power over the souls of men, He had power over the bodies of men.
And, that He is the one who can not only give eternal life to the soul, but He can give eternal life to
the body, as demonstrated by His power over all that deforms and debilitates and destroys the
QUESTIONER: So, you would disagree with the claims of some in the faith healing movement that
when Jesus died on the cross, it was for our sickness in this life?
JOHN: That's obviously not true. That's obviously not true because all those people who believe that
die. All of them. Unless they live to the rapture, they all die. So, if there was physical healing in the
atonement, then it was an incomplete atonement. And, they've got a problem. Then when we turn
from the physical...if you tell me there was physical healing in the atonement, and that the atonement
was designed to heal my diseases, I'm having a hard time with that one because I'm not, I'm not
getting the healing. And, I'm getting older. And, I'm gonna die. Now, if that's how it is with the
promise of my physical healing, where is my hope for the promise of my spiritual healing? Is that the
same thing?
Once you start defining the work of the atonement in temporal terms, you have a problem, because,
even now, I am saved...I am righteous by virtue of the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ, but I'm
certainly not what I'm going to be. This isn't it. I am not now what He died to make me. Is that right?
Either spiritually or physically. And, we all stumble through life and, as we heard in the testimonies,
battling with the flesh, and battling with illness, and disease, and all those kinds of things. And the
atonement was designed for our ultimate glory and our souls' ultimate glorification as well as a
glorified body like the resurrection body of Jesus Christ. In that sense, our ultimate, final healing is in
the atonement. And Jesus was giving it, you know, widespread demonstration of the fact that He had
the power over that realm just as He had power over the spiritual realm and the souls of men.
QUESTIONER: Right. So one of their favorites is, "By His stripes, you are healed." That's ultimately
sin. That has nothing to do with...
JOHN: Yeah, the primary reference is to heal you...you'll never be healed physically by being given
the glorified body of Christ, like Christ unless you've been healed of your sin. Right? I mean, you're
not going to enter into the glories of heavenly perfection unless your sins have been dealt with. So,
you are, first of all, healed from the disease of sin, and then, someday...but, you also understand,
right, we've been healed of sin, but we're all dying from it. Is that not true? I have been forgiven all
my sin and I know that. I have been delivered from the power of sin, from its ability...I've been
delivered from the penalty of sin, its ability to control my life, and, yet, I'm dying from the effect of sin.
I could say it the same in the physical. I have been given a healing. Physically, I will, one day, be
perfect in a glorified body, and yet my body is still dying, until I get to that other world and realize the
full significance of His atoning work.
QUESTIONER: Yes, I've been a drunk, an adulterer and a heroin addict. And about 18...what was it,
a year and a half, September 16th...I was walking across the street to go get some beer, and I was
struck by a car going about 40 miles per hour, subdural hematoma to the bottom of my feet. I feel like
I gelled from the head to the bottom of my feet. And I just wanna know...could I consider this a form of
disciplinary action?
QUESTIONER: Okay, yeah. _______ So blessed are those God disciplines, loves those He
QUESTIONER: That's a wake-up...that's what I want to know. Yeah. I wanna yell. This was a miracle
of miracles.
QUESTIONER: I mean, I mean, they didn't think I was gonna walk. They didn't think I was gonna live.
Look. Praise the Lord.
JOHN: Yeah. And have you committed your...have you committed your life to Christ.
QUESTION: I mean, _______ 60. All day I just thank, and I...
JOHN: Amen.
QUESTIONER: Amen.
JOHN: Yeah. And that's...you'd know where you'd be if you were. But...
QUESTIONER: _______ this now. That's what I'm scared about still. I got...I have more fear of Him
now then what I did. The pastor tells me, "You should've feared Him while you were doing all those
JOHN: Right. You know, the Lord knew that it had to be going 40 and not 60. I mean, He is the
sovereign in control of all of that.
QUESTIONER: He's sovereign. He knew it...He knew it was gonna hit me that day, huh?
JOHN: Right. But he knew it was not gonna be a fatal blow, but it was gonna bring you to your senses
and bring you to Christ. Amen?
QUESTIONER: Amen. Amen.
JOHN: All right, all right. Bless his heart. That's great. I think we can have the benediction now. Okay,
who's next here? We gotta go quick.
TOYA: Okay. This will be real quick. First, I wanna say thank you. My name is Toya Tyler, and some
while ago I told you about the tumor that I had.
TOYA: And you and everyone in the congregation were praying for me. And, just real quick, I just
wanted to say that I've had two MRIs, and they can't find it.
TOYA: So God is gracious. I just want to say thank you to everybody. Thank you.
JOHN: Yeah, you were so concerned that night...that was...the last time we had a Q&A on a Sunday
night, I think you brought that up. Wow.
JOHN: Go ahead.
TOYA: I don't want to take up the time. My question tonight is something I've been really, really
wrestling with, is really been a real problem for me: balancing my time. Balancing my time. I'm a
stay-at-home mom, I was a home-schooling my son, and with all the responsibility as a wife, mom,
home, everything, teaching my son, be a good steward, yet, my house is kind of out of order, and just
all the responsibilities. Balancing the time, not just with respect to that, but with my time with God.
My problem is, I've been...for six years at least, I've been asking the Lord, "Lord, please, give me a
schedule, something where I know I can have a set time that I can spend with You." Just 30 minutes
or something, and every time I get up at four in the morning try and do it, I get up way late at night,
and it doesn't...something always interrupts. The baby will wake up, my son will wake up, something
every single time. And, I just want to know, is it God wanting me to keep enduring, persevering, or is
it some sin that I've committed that I can't seem to get that time I want with the Lord?
JOHN: Well, let me answer this. I don't know the purposes of God that are hidden in secret, but I do
know He has a plan for you, and it's for good and not for evil, because that's His heart toward you.
And, I do know the immediate plan is to love Him with all your heart and take care of your family, and
that's the priority. And, you are first and foremost, responsible to care for and nurture and raise your
little ones in the things of Christ and to give your life to them. This may not be a time when you're
going to have a lot of opportunity. There are a lot of moms who have three, four, five kids, and trying
to carve out that time and stay awake during that time is a real challenge. But, this is a time in your
life. This is a season in your life.
JOHN: Just keep the fight up. Keep the battle up. And, get what you can, but don't condemn yourself
when you're giving yourself to your children. Now, did you say you're a single mom? Or you're
JOHN: That's your husband. Okay, that's what I thought. Yeah, so your role, as a godly woman, is to
care for your husband and your children. And, believe me, if you do that to the honor of Christ, the
Lord will fill in the spiritual gaps. And, it really falls upon your husband to take up the challenge to be
your discipler and to take all the opportunity that he can to give you the spiritual input that you need in
this process.
This is a season in your life when you give yourself to these precious little ones, and you give yourself
to your husband. Find...I would suggest that you find...one other thing I'd say...find a friend and
determine that you're going to do something together, to study together and talk everyday about your
progress, kind of like a buddy system. So, that you have some point of accountability with somebody
else. And, if you need some personal help on tools and how to go about that, Kerry Hardy, right
behind you, is the expert on all of that stuff, so, you can see him. Okay. God bless you guys.
QUESTIONER: My question, actually, is our role and responsibility to the poor and homeless. It
seems to be a great challenge, many times, especially, once you help a family, then you help 'em
again, and then, you start taking on the financial burdens or...and then you're beginning to wrestle,
especially, if you see them in the same position. And then, the topper is the claim of Christ, which
means they're now part of the family or they're in the family. And yet, they don't go here, but they go
to another fellowship, and when you see them, you struggle. I guess, I need a little help in trying to
define my responsibilities.
JOHN: Yeah...let me tell you, first of all, the way you framed the question, indicates that you've
approached it the right way. You know, dumping a periodic check into the United Way is not what the
Bible talks about. Helping people in need means like the good Samaritan. You help the person that
comes across your path that has the need. You know, it's not some institutional thing. It's not, you
know, take it out of my paycheck approach. It's getting involved of the lives of the people who have
the need, whatever the need is, a physical need, economical need, emotional, whatever it is, and you
invest your life in them.
One of the challenges with the homeless is no matter how hard people try to put 'em in a home, they
leave...I mean, this is just pretty much general conduct...because they want an irresponsible lifestyle.
They want a lifestyle with absolutely no accountability and all of that.
But, I think, where you go with this thing is when you do all you can, the Bible says, "If a man doesn't
work, he shouldn't eat." So you have to get beyond the old story of you either give the man a fish or
teach him how to fish. I mean, you can help them for a while. And we as a church do this all the
time. But our limit comes; we will help someone with a need, but when we see that that's a chronic
life pattern, we can't feed that. You can't make a beggar successful. I mean, you don't want to do
that. I don't want to make any beggar successful. I'll be glad if I come across somebody who has a
genuine need to meet that genuine need. But, I'm not going to make a beggar successful. I'm not
going to make a man who won't work successful. I'm not going to let him settle in that kind of
lifestyle. So, after a while, even if he claims to be a Christian, you've got to say, "Any more, and I'm
contributing to your indolence or your laziness or your lack of effort."
If the guy's doing everything he can trying to find work, and trying to find some way to make it, that's a
different story. But, if you see indications that this is just sort of an endless gravy train kind of thing
and then, I think, you do them no favor to sustain that. But, again, you need to be wise, and trust
your wisdom and your instincts as you deal with people.
QUESTIONER: I guess your last statement there kind of...it's the first time I approached this. I found
the family, and the man works, but expenses today are just a struggle. He works. He works all day,
but he doesn't bring in enough to cover even to get in. I said, "Oh, wow. Now...
JOHN: Well, those kind of people, you can help; you can find ways to help them. If you know
somebody in that situation, you need to call the church. We have some access to some resources to
help those kinds of people, to get 'em over that kind of hump. Some of it is sitting down and doing
some financial counseling with them about how they budget, where they live, and how they could live,
maybe, more inexpensively. But, if it's a desperate situation, there are ways to help that kind of
people. If you get strung out on a situation like that and you, you want to help, but you don't think you
have the resources, let us know here, so that we might be able to come along side and provide some
of the resources we know about. Okay? Good man. Thank you.
We're gonna do these real quick now, just the ones that are up there and no more. Who's next?
We'll go in the middle here, the last middle man here.
DANE: John, my name is Dane Purnell. I have a really interesting question: I live in a...particularly,
what we were just talking about...in a men's home, a Christian men's home, and for the last year I've
been battling the fact that they claim to be Christians, but yet there's the yeast that keeps infiltrating
through channel 40, and I've literally watched dozens of lives destroyed by it. Literally. I mean,
they've gotten hyper-charismatic. They're killing each other. They do respect you. And I'm gonna
buy this tape and take it home, if you can address that situation. Basically, if I can just somehow
defeat the faith in faith versus faith in Christ is the objective concept.
JOHN: You just want me to make a special tape to these guys, right here.
JOHN: Well, I appreciate that. And I'm sure you have a unique ministry to those guys that are there.
I've said this through the years, and I don't hesitate to say it, Channel 40 is very dangerous. The
reason it's so dangerous is because there's enough truth on there to confuse people. The best thing
that could ever happen to the whole TBN Network would be if all the people who are faithful to the
Word of God would leave. And then, it would be what it really is. But it is confusing, because you
hear good things; you hear true things from some of the people, and then, it goes all the way to the
absolutely outrageous, unbiblical.
And, they prey upon the desperate. They prey upon the same people the lottery preys on: the people
who are trying to cash in on the gravy train, the people who are trying to win the lottery. The people
who are trying to win the divine lottery by sending money to these people, thinking that somehow, if
they send them money, you know, their ship is going to come in. They're going to cash in on it.
But, again, the solution to all of this is not just to say, "Get away from it." You can say that because
it's dangerous. Any time you mix truth with error, you create a very difficult environment for the
undiscerning to sort out. It's like walking in a meadow full of mines. You know, sooner or later, you're
going to get blown up in that environment, even though on the surface it looks pretty inviting.
But, the bottom line, again, coming back to this is, no one is going to be able to make those kinds of
judgments unless they have some biblical foundation. And so, the great need is not so much to drive
people away from the false, as to educate them about the true. It's critical that they be taught the
Word of God. I mean, that's the bottom line, and when they know what the Word of God teaches,
then they recognize the counterfeit.
This is the biggest problem we have in the evangelical world. It's been that way for 25 years. People
ask me, "What's the biggest problem?" Lack of discernment, lack of discernment, lack of
discernment. The Evangelical church literally has spiritual AIDS. AIDS, you know, the HIV virus, it's
a deficiency in the immune system. And an AIDS person who has that, can die from a myriad of
diseases. They don't all die from the same disease. Different diseases attack them and their immune
system can't fight them off. When you have a deficient immune system, you can get killed by all kinds
of things. And, you look at the church today and because it can't discern, it can't defend itself, it has a
deficient immune system, it dies of a thousand errors.
So, the cry today is to try to take these people, and many of them are babes tossed to and fro and
carried about by every wind of doctrine, and teach them the Word of God. So, I would think, the best
thing you could do in that environment, you can warn them about that situation; you can use those
things, if you're looking at it with them and explain off of those things that they see and hear, the truth
of the Word of God. But, get them in a systematic study of the Word of God and build a doctrinal
foundation, so they can discern for themselves.
QUESTIONER: Hi, I have a friend who goes to a Seventh-Day Adventist Church, and I know we have
a lot of differing beliefs, but I didn't realize how drastically so until she asked me to read this book
called, The National Sunday Law. And the author concludes at the end that Sunday worship is the
mark of the beast. And, my question to you is...if they believe so strongly that they should be
worshipping on Saturday and not Sunday, are we breaking a commandment of not honoring the
Sabbath, if it is supposed to be Saturday? And, my second question would be, what can I do to lead
her from that church?
JOHN: Let me answer the question by having you get a tape that I did. I did a tape when I was doing
Genesis. Write...let me find out what verse it is. I don't ever remember the names of the tapes or any
of that, but I do remember the verses that I taught. And, in going through Genesis, we came to verse
2 of chapter 2, "On the seventh day, God ended His work which He had done and rested on the
seventh day from all His work which He had done." Connection with that verse and the next verse, I
did a message. Go to the tape room over there afterwards...I think it's open, isn't it, tonight? Do you
guys know? It should be. If it isn't, Dan...he can get into anything. Get the tapes I did on the
Sabbath. And on the Sunday study because they're really very important.
The issue with the Seventh-Day Adventists is not the Sabbath. The issue is that the Sabbath is
reflective of a works system. The idea is that if you want to get into the kingdom, you have to keep
the Ten Commandments, and that's one of them. Dealing with Seventh-Day Adventists is not easy
because they're sort of all over the map. There's a wide spectrum of what they believe.
But, predominantly, they started out as a cult. They started out as a cult with a woman prophetess
who got direct revelation from God, wrote The Desire of the Nations, and other things, in which was
espoused salvation by law, salvation by works, a works system, the way all cults do. It has modified
and changed through the years, and there have been many people who have moved away from that,
I would think, toward true faith in Christ. But, still, that's in the system. That's part of the core. And,
what you're seeing in that Sabbath law book is symbolic of a righteousness gained by keeping the
Now, there's two ways to deal with somebody like that. First of all, you can dismantle that idea of
Sabbath, which I tend to do in those two tapes, and it can be a tough pill for them to swallow. The
other thing you need to do is to get them to understand the doctrine of justification by grace through
faith alone. Those are the two issues. Okay? But, get that tape. It's free. Dan'll pay for it.
RYAN: My name is Ryan Kline, and I got a question about the lordship controversy.
RYAN: The lordship controversy, in particular, volition. I've attended a lot of your services, and I've
heard you mention volition a few times and, also, in your Study Bible. My question is...how can
volition be a part of the salvation equation if God is completely sovereign?
JOHN: How can human volition be a part of salvation if God is sovereign? And the answer is, the
sovereignty of God produces an effect through a means. Okay? And, the activating of the human will
is the means. God evangelizes the world through the means of sending us to every creature. We
become the means by which the Lord reaches the elect. And there is a means by which God saves,
and it is through faith. And that faith is an act of the human will...not apart from the power of God, but
by means of the power of God.
JOHN: Well, time is gone. And I hope that was helpful and productive and enjoyable for everybody.
Good. Boy, you're in a good mood. Let's take another offering. That's good. I don't even get applause
when I preach a good sermon. Wow. Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it tonight, and let's stand, and we'll
have a closing word of prayer.
Father, we thank You for this wonderful day that we have shared. When we think about the Fourth of
July, and we think about the freedom of our country, we know that that certainly is something that we
are thankful for. And yet, it pales compared to the freedom that we have from sin and death and hell,
freedom in Jesus Christ. And if the Son makes you free, you are free forever. We thank You for the
freedom we enjoy in Jesus Christ, freedom to obey You, freedom to love You and honor You,
freedom to give our lives to You in self-denying, sacrificial service and freedom to enjoy all the
blessings and benedictions that You've prepared for those that love You, both in time and eternity.
Lord, thank You that your Word holds the answers to the questions of our minds and hearts. And
make us faithful students of Your Word, enjoying the process of discovery for ourselves as we search
the Scriptures to see what really is so.
Bless these precious folks. Give us all a great week until we meet again next Lord's day in your Son's
name, Amen.

Although I continually talk about movie costumes on this blog, I am not a movie reviewer. Not all the films I discuss are recommended and I do not choose to review weather they are appropriate or not for the simple fact that every person's standards are different. Something that is fine for me may be offensive to some one else and visa versa. If you would like to look into the appropriateness of a title, I recommend pluggedinonline.com. I have not seen all the movies I discuss, and am simply interested in the art of clothes in film. I will leave you to decide for yourself if you will watch the movie or not.

Three Hope College students and two high school students who study voice at Hope earned honors in the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) Michigan State Chapter Auditions, held at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti on Saturday, Nov. 5.
The Hope students earned one first-place award, one second-place award and one third-place award, and the high school students earned a first-place award and a second-place award. Students from colleges and universities and high schools from throughout the state participated.
All five are students of Linda LeFever Dykstra, who is an associate professor of music and chair of the voice pision at Hope.
A total of 11 students from Hope and two of Dykstra's high school students competed in the auditions, which provided cash prizes and a chance for the first-place winners to sing in an honors recital at the end of the day. In addition, all of the first-, second- and third-place honorees will have the opportunity to compete in the Great Lakes Regional Auditions in March, competing with other student winners from Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Ontario, Canada.

stainless steel handrails sydney
Stainless steel guardrails provide you with a great deal of protection. You can mount them in different locations such as pedestrian pathways, workstation and also transformer areas. You could use them for numerous events such as: protecting your devices from forklift problems, shielding your structure from damage, as well as stopping and decreasing crashes along highways.
The work security as well as wellness administration (OSHA) needs that you ought to install guardrails if there is a threat of people falling six feet or more. If you do not really want to mount a guardrail, you should give options.
Types Of Stainless steel Guardrails
There are lots of kinds of guardrails that you could utilize. The most typical ones are:
W-beams: they are the typical web traffic as well as highway rails and also are usually built from high quality steel. To safeguard stainless steel from environmental conditions, they are usually made with zinc covering and various other materials.
Bolt-in rails: they feature braces that allow you to upload sections to move right into the framework after you have actually done the setup. The cool thing with this barrier is that it's easily available.
Bolt-on rails: this type of guardrail makes use of hand tools and drills.
How you can Set up Guardrails
When setting up the guardrails you need to make sure that leading side of the guard rail is between 39 and 45 inches above the walking location. When doing the calculations you must take into consideration all the conditions. For instance, if your staff members are utilizing elevated footwear, you need to make sure that the top of the rails is greater.
You must make sure that the space between the top of the rails as well as the floor is secured utilizing a midrail that you ought to install in between the top and the flooring. When mounting the articles, you must install them in such a way that they leave spaces that aren't broader compared to 19 inches. The sole purpose of this is to stop people from sliding between the rails and the floor.
For the guardrails to offer you the outcomes that you need, you should ensure that they can standing up to around 200 extra pounds of stress. You must additionally ensure that the rails aren't rugged or sharp thus posturing threat to individuals around.
Final thought
This is exactly what you have to understand about stainless steel guardrails. As general rule you ought to guarantee that you adhere to OSHA standards when installing them. You should additionally ensure that they are installed by a professional.
The work safety and security and also wellness management (OSHA) calls for that you should set up guardrails if there is a risk of individuals dropping 6 feet or even more. If you do not want to install a guardrail, you must give alternatives. When installing the guardrails you ought to make sure that leading edge of the guard rail is in between 39 and 45 inches over the strolling area. You must make sure that the space between the top of the rails as well as the flooring is protected using a midrail that you should set up between the leading as well as the floor. When setting up the articles, you must install them in such a means that they leave gaps that typically aren't wider compared to 19 inches.

Lancaster City Council gave final approval to support Lancaster County's proposed 3 percent accommodations tax earlier this month.
Council approved the tax with a 4-1 vote on Jan. 8. Mayor Joe Shaw dissented.
Lancaster County can charge up to a 1.5 percent tax on hotel/motel stays on its own without seeking the approval of county municipalities. Anything greater requires the nod of the county's municipalities, according to state law.

Discovery of the peroxy natural products artemisinin (1) has engendered a renewed interest in chemotherapeutic agents to treat malaria. The unusual array of oxygen functionality in 1, a mechanism of action unrelated to that of the more traditional antimalarials, and the possibility for rational drug design have motivated our study of the chemistry of compounds related to 1.
Compounds such as 2 and 3 are proposed for synthesis. A variety of side-chains may be incorporated: lipophilic chains, carboxylate chains, and/or chains with "handles" for further functionalization.
Our route to compounds of these types involves preparation of a suitably functionalized pyran or oxepane precursor. Students will either purchase the starting dihydropyran or prepare them by hetero Diels-Alder reaction. The pyrans can then be alkylated using butyllithium to install the group R'. Hydroboration gives the hydroxypyran and mesylation, treatment with hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide/sodium peroxide yields the corresponding hydroperoxide. Cyclization under acidic conditions forms the bicyclic artemisinin analog 2. Similar steps are planned for the formation of analogs similar to 3.
Techniques and reactions in organic synthesis that student researchers will learn include Diels-Alder reactions, use of strong bases (butyllithium), handling of air-sensitive reagents, running reactions under an inert atmosphere, extractive work-ups, chromatography, working with oxidants, and characterizing new compounds (1H and 13C NMR, MS, IR, elemental analysis).

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town... And EMI Is Keeping The Copyright
from the terminate-this deptWe were just talking about the latest efforts to remove termination rights from musicians (and other artists), and a number of termination rights battles are still ongoing. Most of the existing ones are slightly different from the ones we're talking about -- and it gets pretty down in the weeds technically. In short, there are different rules for works created prior to 1978 and those after 1978. Most of the focus is on the termination rights for works created after 1978 -- though there are some interesting ongoing battles concerning works created prior to 1978... including that song you just can't stop hearing this time of year: Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
Judge Shira Scheindlin (yes, the judge who recently got attention for killing NYC's stop and frisk program, and then being removed from the case for a rather bizarre claim of bias) has now ruled that the heirs of the authors of that song, John Frederick Coots and Haven Gillespie, cannot terminate the copyright assignment, currently held by EMI, and thus EMI gets to retain the rights to that jingle you can't get out of your head no matter how many times you try.
You can read the details of the ruling at the link above or embedded below. I don't have any particular problem with the details of the ruling itself. The whole termination process is a mess -- especially for pre-1978 works -- and this is yet another case where unclear contracts likely led to this result. The reason I'm bringing up this bit of Christmas music copyright fighting is just to note that the song was written in 1934, at which time the maximum copyright that Coots and Gillespie could have hoped for was 56 years (28 years upon registration, with another 28 years if they renewed). That means that for the two of them, the incentive of having that copyright (which they then assigned away to Leo Feist, Inc.) last until 1990, was clearly all the incentive they needed to write and release that song. Under the basic terms of the deal that the public granted to the copyright holder, in 1990, that song belonged in the public domain.
Of course, thanks to the 1976 Copyright Act -- which extended copyright terms massively -- and then the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998, which extended copyright terms, yet again, for another 20 years, the song didn't go into the public domain in 1990. Nor has it reached the public domain today, 23 years later. Nor will it reach the public domain for many more years -- potentially never, if the recording industry is successful in extending copyright terms, as many expect. However, it seems somewhat ridiculous that the work did not go into the public domain in 1990. That was the deal that was struck when it was written. The song was to become part of the public domain. That didn't happen and the public got nothing in return for not being given what it was promised.
So, go ahead and sing whatever Christmas songs you like this seasons, but remember that thanks to the recording industry and Congress, you better not pout, you better just pay up your royalties in perpetuity, because the public domain is never coming to this town if they can help it.

Rosemont, IL (PRWEB) July 11, 2012
Studying the benefits and hazards of running was just one piece of Dr. Stanley L. James esteemed medical career. He will be inducted into the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine's (AOSSM) Hall of Fame at its' Annual Meeting in Baltimore, MD on Friday, July 13th. AOSSM Hall of Famers are individuals in the sports medicine community who have contributed immensely and set themselves apart from others in the field.
Dr. James is a native of Iowa and graduated from the University of Iowa Medical School in 1962. Directly after completing his undergraduate studies at Iowa, he went on active duty as an army aviator. Once returning to Iowa for medical school, he continued as an Iowa National Guard Aviator until his medical school graduation.
While completing his residency in orthopaedic surgery at Iowa, Dr. James collaborated with exercise physiologist, Charles Tipton PhD. They studied the influence of exercise on ligament healing, finding that exercise actually enhanced ligament healing as opposed to immobilization, which was the standard of treatment at that time. Published in The American Journal of Physiology in 1970, the study was several years ahead of the curve when early motion following surgery became a standard of treatment. In 1967, he moved to Oregon to join Dr. Donald Slocum, one of the Fathers of Sports Medicine.
In the early 1970's, he collaborated with University of Oregon track coach, Bill Bowerman, co-founder of Nike. He was a member of Bowerman's select think-tank for shoe design. Dr. James is currently involved with state-of-the art biomechanical studies at the University of Oregon on running gait analysis. Dr. James authored 57 publications both in peer-reviewed journals and books and has served as a faculty member and chairman for numerous national and international sports medicine meetings
Additional highlights of Dr. James' career include:
- AOSSM founding member
- Member, first AOSSM Research Committee
- Godfather, Herodicus Society
- Member, AAOS Committee for the Knee (1985 to1988)
- Honorary faculty member, Department of Orthopedics, University of Iowa (2004)
- Medical Director, US Olympic Trials 1976, 1980, and 2008
- Distinguished Alumnus Award for Achievement, Carver College of Medicine, University of Iowa (2006)
- Distinguished Alumnus Award for Achievement, University of Iowa Alumni Association (2012)
- University of Oregon Track and Field Hall of Fame for medical service (2010)
Dr. James is currently treating elite runners preparing for the 2012 Olympics and is on the orthopeadic staff for the 2012 Track and Field Trials. He also currently serves on the staff of Slocum Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine in Eugene, Oregon.
The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) is a world leader in sports medicine education, research, communication and fellowship, and includes national and international orthopaedic sports medicine leaders. The Society works to improve the identification, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports injuries. AOSSM is also a founding partner of the STOP Sports Injuries campaign to prevent overuse and traumatic injuries in kids

Agency wants to preserve flexibility to settle cases without an admission of guilt, leading to savings if litigation is avoided.
The Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday announced that it would appeal a U. S. district judge's ruling rejecting a proposed settlement of a fraud case with Citigroup, a move that could affect both the agency's legal strategies and its deployment of resources.
The independent regulator had charged Citigroup with fraud for having sold, in the years leading up to the 2007-2008 financial meltdown, mortgage-backed securities that were not favored in its internal investment plans. Following an investigation, SEC reached a settlement with the corporation that required it to pay $285 million and abide by an injunction against future violations, while staying silent on the issue of guilt.
In November, U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff of New York rejected the proposed deal, saying the absence of an admission or denial of guilt meant he could not determine whether it was fair or in the public's interest.
SEC Enforcement Director Robert Khuzami on Dec. 15 announced that the agency would appeal the case to the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, because "we believe the district court committed legal error by announcing a new and unprecedented standard that inadvertently harms investors by depriving them of substantial, certain and immediate benefits."
He said the ruling ignores decades of precedents in which such cases have been settled without costly litigation even without clear declarations of guilt or innocence. "Based on a careful balancing of these risks and benefits, settling on favorable terms even without an admission serves investors, including investors victimized by other frauds," Khuzami wrote. "That is due to the fact that other frauds might never be investigated or be investigated more slowly because limited agency resources are tied up in litigating a case that could have been resolved."
He stressed that SEC is prepared to take the case to court, but has been able to reach out-of-court settlements in 70 percent of the cases it has brought related to the financial crisis. It participated in 19 trials last year. "The new standard adopted by the court could in practical terms press the SEC to trial in many more instances," Khuzami said, "likely resulting in fewer cases overall and less money being returned to investors."
The decision to appeal comes as SEC, having reorganized its enforcement division in 2009 and 2010, has reported filing a record high number of enforcement actions -- 735 in fiscal 2011, up from 677 in fiscal 2010 and 664 in fiscal 2009. It ordered more than $2.8 billion in penalties and disgorgement in 2011.
Among the cases related to the financial crisis filed by SEC in 2011 were 15 actions naming 17 individuals, including 16 chief executive officers, chief operating officers and other senior corporate officers, according to agency figures. The division employs about 900 enforcement investigative attorneys.
"We continue to build an unmatched record of holding wrongdoers accountable and returning money to harmed investors," SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said in a November statement. "I am proud of our enforcement division's many talented professionals and their efforts that resulted in a broad array of significant enforcement actions, including those related to the financial crisis and its aftermath."
Republicans in Congress have sought to trim the agency's budget and oppose many of the regulations it is writing under the 2010 Dodd-Frank Financial Reform law. On Wednesday, the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets and Government Sponsored Enterprises approved a bill introduced by Rep. Michael Grimm, R-N.Y., that would limit some Dodd-Frank protections for corporate whistleblowers, requiring private sector employees seeking to expose misdeeds to go to their employers before going to SEC.
Michael Smallberg, an investigator for the nonprofit Project on Government Oversight, told Government Executive that SEC's ability to take risks in pursuing litigation "is one of many reasons it should get a boost in funding, so it can take this risk in routine investigations. But the bigger question is whether these settlements ultimately deter companies from committing similar misdeeds in the future," he said. "Our concern is that many settlements become a cost of doing business for companies."
If the agency is able to continue offering "strong protections to whistleblowers," he added, "higher quality tips would allow them build to build better cases."

A mans quick actions saved the lives of three dogs last weekend in Bayfield.
Jim Cornett, owner of South Street Garage, said he looked out his window and saw flames and smoke coming from a mobile home.
I ran down there, and when I got close enough to see, I yelled back at my customer to call 911, he said.
Cornett discovered three dogs trapped inside a pen with flames licking at the enclosure.
I was able to pull a bunch of boards and free the dogs, he said. Their fur was warm to the touch.
The fire was reported about 11:40 a.m. Saturday in the 100 block of East South Street in Bayfield. The mobile home and a shed were destroyed.
Bruce Evans, chief of the Upper Pine Fire Protection District, said the fire was started by a space heater used to keep the animals warm.
They probably would have burned to death if they stayed in there, Evans said.
After freeing the dogs, Cornett entered the home to make sure everyone had escaped, including additional pets. The house was clear, he said.
Steve Schmidt, a mechanic who works for Cornett, tried to extinguish the blaze with a fire extinguisher while Cornett was inside, he said.
Cornett suffered minor smoke inhalation while inside the house, he said. He felt the lingering effects of a headache Monday.
The dogs eventually returned home, and they were doing well Monday.
I was really glad, he said. It would have been a real bummer to have gone through all that and have one hit by a car.
Cornett said he has received considerable attention since the fire.
The attention makes me feel uncomfortable, he said. Bayfield is full of good men, and I like to think anyone would have done the same thing.
Efforts to reach the occupant of the mobile home were unsuccessful.

Even in a market flooded with veteran cornerbacks, former Panthers first-round pick Chris Gamble figured to draw plenty of interest.
But Gamble's apparently not interested.
His agent, Carl Poston, told ESPN's Josina Anderson that Gamble decided to retire rather than enter the market.
"A number of teams have expressed interest in Chris Gamble," Poston said. "However, Chris informed me last night that he wants to retire. Even though he still loves football, he told me that he's decided to focus on life after football. Chris has been a class act. I have represented him for nine years, ever since he came out of Ohio State. He's been an ideal client and he was one of the best corners in game.
"He's doing it the right way. He has taken care of his money and his investments to retire successfully, and now I wish him the best in his future endeavors."
He spent nine years in the league, all with the Panthers, and owns the franchise's career interception record. He was plagued by injuries the last two seasons, but was a solid cover player.
He was also an extremely private and quiet player, who never left much of a footprint in Charlotte despite spending his entire career there and playing well.
And now, he's slipping quietly into retirement as well.
