The following sermon transcript does not match the video version of the sermon—it matches only the audio version. Here's a brief explanation why.

John MacArthur routinely preaches a sermon more than once on the same date, during different worship services at Grace Community Church. Normally, for a given sermon title, our website features the audio and video that were recorded during the same worship service. Very occasionally, though, we will post the audio from one service and the video from another. Such was the case for the sermon titled “Mark’s Sweeping Summary of Jesus,” the transcript of which follows below. The transcript is of the audio version.

I invite you to turn in the Scripture to Mark chapter 3 verses 7 through 12...Mark chapter 3 verses 7 through 12. We're going to be reading that in just a few moments but since it's been over three months since our last look at the gospel of Mark, we need to kind of prepare our hearts and our minds for what is before us this morning.

There are four gospels in the New Testament, as you know, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These four gospels have a singular purpose and that purpose is summed up in the final gospel, the gospel of John. In John's gospel, chapter 20 and verse 31, John says this, “These have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and that believing you may have life in His name.”

John tells us that the reason that the histories of the life and ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ have been written is so that we may believe that He is the Son of God and that by believing have eternal life in His name. The four gospels then are designed as proof or evidence of the deity of Jesus Christ. All four gospels are written for the same reason, to tell us that Jesus is no mere man, no mere prophet, no mere religious leader, but rather He is the Son of God. Any Jew would understand that term, the Son of God, to mean that He shares in the very nature of God. He is God Himself. He is deity.

Eternal life comes to those who believe that. But you can't believe that unless you have evidence and the evidence of the deity of Jesus Christ is contained in the four gospels. All of them present that evidence to us.

Here at Grace Church we've had an immense privilege for many, many years to go through this evidence. We spend about eight and a half years going through every verse in Matthew, almost three years going through every verse in John, ten years going through every verse in Luke, and now we have begun to go through Mark. To those of us who have been a part of all of this, or some of this, the evidence is compelling, it is overwhelming, it is unmistakable that He is the Son of God and thus we believe. Because we believe, we have eternal life.

We gather together on a day like this as we do on every Sunday to worship the one in whom we believe. We are gathered here because we love the Lord Jesus Christ. We honor Him. We praise Him. We worship Him. That's what gathers us together. We collectively make the confession that He is the Son of God, that He is the Messiah and the Savior.

That is what Mark wants us to know, as did Matthew, Luke and John. And so Mark begins His gospel in a very unambiguous way, chapter 1 verse 1, by telling us what is about to read is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. And then starting in verse 2, he begins to amass the evidence that this pronunciation is true. You have then, as in all four gospels, in the gospel of Mark the unfolding record of evidence regarding the deity of Jesus Christ. There are some who would tell us that Jesus was an influential man for a brief period of time in a very small part of the world. Anything but that is the case. He is God in human flesh, the proof is unmistakable. We have come to know that proof. We have come to believe it and we affirm our faith in Him and have received eternal life and thus we gather to worship His glorious name.

As we study the gospel of Mark, the evidence will overwhelm us. We will acknowledge it because we already know it to be true and the Spirit of God confirms it to our hearts. But for those who are not believers, the evidence is still overwhelming. There was never an argument about His teaching that succeeded to undo any truth that He proclaimed. No one ever denied His miracles. No one ever denied a miracle or the mass of miracles that He did. Not even the people who resented Him the greatest and hated Him the most ever denied His miracles. They never denied His authority and power over the demon forces of hell. They never denied that.

And so, without being able to refute His teachings, without denying His miracles, or denying His power over the forces of hell, you might assume that they might have believed in Him and received eternal life. They did not. Strangely enough, even in the fourth chapter of Mark, well into the story, well into the evidence, not written but seen and experienced by the disciples who were following Jesus, it is the disciples who ask the question after Jesus controls the wind and the waves, what kind of man is this? In fact, all through the gospel of Mark you never find the disciples saying, “You're the Son of God?” In chapter 8 verse 29, Peter says, “You're the Christ, You're the Messiah.” But in Mark's gospel, no one says, “You are the Son of God until the fifteenth chapter and the thirty-ninth verse and of all things, it's a Roman soldier. There is testimony in the early part of this gospel that Jesus is the Son of God, it comes from God the Father at His baptism as we read in chapter 1, “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.” There is testimony also in chapter 1 from a demon who says, “You are the Holy One of God.” There is further testimony in the section before us, in chapter 3, from another demon that this is the Son of God. Heaven knows He's the Son of God. Hell knows He's the Son of God. Mark lays out what the other gospel writers, the evidence for all men to know that He is the Son of God.

But in spite of all that evidence, He is rejected by the nation and executed as a criminal. We stand with that Roman soldier in chapter 15 verse 39 who said, “Truly this is the Son of God.” That's where we stand. And because we believe that, we have eternal life in His name. We all gather on Sunday like this as worshipers to make an open confession of Christ. We gather as a church to exalt and worship the Lord Jesus Christ, the divine Son of God. He's the object of our worship, both personal and corporate. We worship not only collectively here together, we worship personally, we are those who worship Christ. Day by day, hour by hour we sing His praises, we obey Him, we express our love to Him. He is the Son of God. He is our Lord, our Master, our sovereign King, our Redeemer. He is the object of our greatest affection, the source of our greatest joy.

In fact, although we are not yet in heaven, we are a part of the redeemed and we on earth replicate what is going on in heaven in terms of worshiping directed at Him. You'll remember that in Revelation chapter 5 there is a scene in heaven which pictures the throne of God and gathered around the throne of God are saints and angels and the focus in chapter 5 turns toward Christ and He becomes the object of this glorious heavenly worship. They adore Him in heaven as a lion and then they adore Him in heaven as a lamb. And on both counts, they sing His praises and they will sing His praises forever and ever and ever. And we do the same here on earth. Not yet glorified in heaven, we still offer Him the same worship that He now receives from the saints who are in His presence in heaven. We adore Him as the lion...powerful, majestic, deadly to His enemies. And at the same time we adore Him as the lamb...meek, humble, dead and risen from the dead. He is the lamb who slays His enemies. He is the lamb slain by His enemies. He is the one who bought our eternal salvation with His sacrifice as the lamb. And He is the one who conquered all our enemies with His sovereign power as the lion.

And we join the souls of every tongue and tribe and nation and people who love Him savingly. And we compose a kingdom of worshipers who will reign with Him forever and praise Him forever and ever. And so those who know Him and love Him and possess eternal life gather in heaven incessantly to praise Him, and gather on earth to praise Him as well.

How have we come to give Him this honor? How have we come to praise Him alone, to trust in Him alone, to love Him alone as the only hope, the only Redeemer, the only Savior? It is because of the testimony of Scripture we have read and we believe. While all Scripture is His story from Genesis on, that's why He Himself on the Emmaus Road taught two of His disciples all the things concerning Himself from the Old Testament. The four gospels are the focal point of His story because they reveal in history what the prophets said would come to pass. It is the four gospels that tell the story that reveals the full preeminence of Christ. We see the glory of God revealed in Christ. God presents Himself to us in a more clear way than any way in the Old Testament previously in the arrival of Jesus Christ. Why are we studying Mark? We are studying Mark so that again we may celebrate the truth that this is the Son of God we believe and in believing we have eternal life. He has given us this gift, and therefore we offer Him our praise.

To those of you who do not yet believe, the story of Mark like Matthew, Luke and John is to bring the evidence to you that you might believe in the Son of God and believing have life in His name. How blessed are we to gather again on another Sunday then and do this, though we have spent twenty-plus years in these four gospels in the past, we eagerly come every Sunday, don't we, for the next section of the next gospel. And if the Lord gives me a long, long, long life and a functioning brain, some day I may even go through the gospel of John again.

You say, “Why do you do that? Isn't enough, enough?” You could never get enough of Christ. You can never get enough of His majesty and His glory. How blessed are we today to gaze again at the wonder of our Redeemer.

Now chapter 3 verse 7 to 12 is a good place to restart our study. It's a good place because it's a summary from chapter 1 verse 1 through chapter 3 verse 6, you kind of have the first act in Mark. And then you have a kind of summary. Summaries are good. Summaries look back and sort of gather up the truth. It is kind of like we've been watching a video, or watching a play unfold and it's just constant action up to now. And all of a sudden, Mark hits the pause button in chapter 3 verses 7 to 12 and says, “Let me give you a still photo, let me give you a snapshot now. Let's stop the action and let's freeze the frame and sum up what we've learned.”

Not only does this kind of summary look back but it looks forward because it gathers up everything we know which then generates momentum for moving ahead. Mark introduced his subject, chapter 1 verse 1, the gospel of Jesus Christ identified Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Immediately he affirmed that Jesus is the Son of God because Jesus is the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy verses 2 and 3. He again affirms that Jesus is the Son of God by the testimony of the greatest Old Testament prophet, John the Baptist. In chapter 1 verses 9 to 11, he affirms Jesus as the Son of God by the testimony of God Himself from heaven who speaks audibly and says, “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well-pleased.” Affirmed by the Holy Spirit who comes and descends and rests on Christ.

In chapter 1 verses 12 and 13, he again affirms the deity of Jesus Christ by demonstrating His triumph over Satan in the great temptation. And then in chapter 1 verse 14, Mark shows us how Jesus begins the ministry of preaching the gospel of salvation. He shows us how He calls His Apostles and disciples to follow Him. He gives us an account of how Jesus unleashes His power over disease and over demons. He tells us several stories about healings and then comments on the fact that there were many more healings. He tells us incidents about the casting out of demons, testimony to the fact that the Lord Jesus has power over the natural world and power over the supernatural world, power over the physical, power over the spiritual world and only God has that kind of power.

As a healer, He creates eyes that can see, where there weren't any. He creates ears that can hear where there weren't none. He creates limbs and internal organs and gives life to dead people. There is no explanation for that other than He is divine. He invades the supernatural world with such power that the demons panic and scream in His presence as He banishes them from their sad victims.

In chapter 2 verse 23 to chapter 3 verse 6, the end of the first section, He attacks Judaism by saying He's the Lord of the Sabbath. Sabbath observance was the heart of the Judaistic religion. Jesus says, “I am Lord of the Sabbath,” that striking a deadly blow against that religious system.

Now after that kind of flow, evidencing that Jesus is the Son of God, for only He could have authority over disease, authority over demons and authority over the heretofore revealed Law of God regarding the Sabbath. His authority is divine. His power is divine. And Mark hits the pause button and this is the still photo. Let's look at verse 7.

“Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples and a great multitude from Galilee followed and also from Judea and from Jerusalem and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon, a great number of people heard of all that He was doing and came to Him. He told His disciples that a boat should stand ready for Him because of the crowd so that they would not crowd Him, for He had healed many with the result that all those who had afflictions pressed around Him in order to touch Him. Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they would fall down before Him and shout, ‘You are the Son of God.” And He earnestly warned them not to tell who He was.”

The demons knew who He was. God declared who He was. The evidence made it obvious who He was. Why did the people not get it? Why do you go through the whole book and no one ever says, “Yes, You are the Son of God?” God says it, the demons say it and finally at the end the Roman soldier says it but what about the Jews? Isn't this convincing enough? There was a barrier, massive barrier.

We get an insight back into it back in chapter 2 verses 21 and 22. “No one sows a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, otherwise the patch pulls away from it.” The new from the old and a worse tear results. “No one puts new wine in old wine skins otherwise the wine will burst the skins, the wine is lost, the skins as well. But one puts new wine into fresh wine skins.”

Jesus is saying, “The message I bring can't be connected to Judaism. You can't sew them together. It can't be contained in Judaism. It is completely separate.” And this poses the massive barrier. Jesus never offered Himself as some kind of reformer simply wanting to reform Judaism. He did not come as one who was saying, “You've got a lot of things that are wrong in your worship and I'm here to fix them.” He came to abolish Judaism. He came to abrogate it, to nullify it, to bring it to an absolute end. He is the inaugurator of a completely new religion, the New Covenant which would bring about the end of the Old...and I mean not just the end of apostate Judaism as it existed in first century Israel, but the end of Old Testament Judaism. He came to end Judaism as a religion. And since the arrival and the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, Judaism is a dead is unacceptable to God.

Jesus ended the Old Testament Covenant era. He ended the shadow era, the Old Covenant shadow religion that always pointed to life and salvation but never provided it because by the means of the Old Covenant, the keeping of the Law, no one could be saved because no one could keep it. The Old Covenant said there was life, there was eternal life but couldn't provide it. The old message was that sinners must come to God but sinners can't come to God. There was life for sinners but not by this system. In fact, in 2 Corinthians 3 Paul calls the Old Covenant a ministry of death. The Old Covenant said God is separate, God is distant. You can't get near Him.

And how is that illustrated? All the people were out in the courtyard and inside there was a holy place and then there was the Holy of Holies where God dwelt and no one could ever go there except once a year when the high priest went in for a brief moment on the Day of Atonement and hurried out. So the Old Covenant said there was eternal life, there was forgiveness, there was salvation, there was heaven, there was intimacy with God but not through that system.

You see, this is what made the acceptance of Jesus so difficult because it meant the forsaking of Judaism totally...totally. When Jesus began His ministry, according to the gospel of John, the first thing He did was go in to the temple at the festival time and make a whip and threw people out. One can hardly imagine the sheer force of personality that would allow one man to do that. I mean, they had a lot at stake in there, that was a place where there were tens of thousands of people all milling around, the Sadducees, the Chief Priests, the High Priests were running basically a den of thieves, an operation where they scamming people, taking their money by illicit exchange of coins for the temple offerings and illegitimate prices placed on acceptable animals for sacrifice. There were a lot of reasons to resist the efforts of Jesus to clean the place out, but that was not what happened. No one could withstand His power and so He literally evacuated the place. He was striking a blow at the heart of Judaism. This has nothing to do with My father.

At the end of His ministry, the last week of His life when He came into Jerusalem, Passover week, He did the same thing again. Mark tells us that story in chapter 11 verses 15 to 19. Did the same thing. Struck a devastating blow at the heart and soul of Judaism, temple worship. Through the years this has been called the cleansing of the temple. And as I thought about it, and I've used that phrase through the years, that's not a good phrase because this is not the cleansing of the temple. Jesus wasn't saying, “You know, if we can just clean this up a little bit, this thing can go on. If we can just get this act kind of washed a little bit, if we can just fix some of the aberrations, if we can just clean out some of the corruption...hey, this temple has a future.

Listen, the day Jesus Christ arrived, the temple had no future. That was not the cleansing of the temple, that was the pronunciation of the abolition and devastation and destruction of the temple. And at the last week of Jesus' life, what did He say? Not one stone will be left on another. The whole thing is coming down. It happened in 70 A.D. the Romans came in, smashed it to be. No more holy place, no more Holy of Holies and that was an act of God's judgment through the Romans. The system was done. Jesus was pronouncing destruction on the temple. He was giving them previews of coming attractions, both the times He went in and did that. He was not saying, “If we just clean this thing up, it has a future.” There was no future for the temple. There was no future for sacrifices. There was no future for priests. There was no future for a system of law and ceremony and that's why it's obliterated. There never has been a replacement temple. There never has been another sacrifice. There never has been a priesthood. The whole system was brought to an end. And the Lord Jesus brought the New Covenant which established what has always been true that salvation was by faith alone and that faith had to be placed in Him. Not by law, not by works, not by ceremony, salvation is by faith and faith alone. It's always been that way. And the faith had to be placed in Him. Again, John 20:31, “These things are written that you may believe and believing have life in His name.”

So as Mark unfolds his story, it is centered on Jesus Christ and His credentials as the Son of God.

And the credentials are just stunning. And as I said, nobody really argued against them. Nobody ever denied them. Nobody ever tried to explain them away. And yet the people didn't accept Him.

The barrier was they had to turn their backs on Judaism which had woven its way into every bit of their lives. It was so profoundly imbedded in their persona that they couldn't even conceive of life without Judaism.

There is no explanation for Jesus other than that He's explanation. But human depravity is deep and unbelief is deep, and religion provides a very thick tomb in which to bury that unbelief.

Nonetheless, after the first act in Mark, Jesus has achieved tremendous popularity and we get a glimpse of that in the text I just read you. Let me give you three aspects to the little snapshot here.

Number one, the popularity of Jesus, verses 7 and 8. “Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples, a great multitude from Galilee followed and also from Judea and from Jerusalem and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan and the vicinity of Tyre of Sidon, a great number of people heard of all that He was doing and came to Him.”

No one has ever been this popular. No one has ever come close to this popularity, no prophet, no sage, no rabbi, no wise man, no philosopher, no hero. Jesus has in a brief period of time managed to garner unparalleled fame demonstrated here. Verse 7 says, “He withdrew to the sea with His disciples.”

Backing up to the previous paragraph, tell us why, chapter 3 verse 1, He was in a synagogue in Capernaum. Capernaum is the main city at the top, right at the crown point of the Sea of Galilee, that lake that's in Galilee where the Jordan River comes in at the top and flows out at the bottom down through the Jordan Valley to the Dead Sea, a familiar area of Jesus' ministry. Israel is divided into two sections, southern section called Judea, northern section called Galilee. Up at the Galilee section up at the north tip of the Sea of Galilee is the city called Capernaum, Jesus' headquarters during the year plus that He had a ministry in Galilee. He's in that city, He's in a synagogue. There's a man there, He heals the man which irritates the Pharisees because they think it's a violation of Sabbath law. So in verse 6 the Pharisees went out and immediately began conspiring with the Herodians who are called Herodians because they were attached to Herod. They were politically motivated, the Pharisees religiously motivated. They came together mutually against Jesus and met, conspiring as to how they might destroy Him. Hummm

Now this is understandable because they get it. They understand that the power is unmistakable, it is not arguable. They also understand that the message of Jesus is Judaism is finished. They knew when Jesus made a whip and did what He did in the temple that this was not some kind of temporary cleaning. This was not saying to them, “Hey, you guys, if you can clean this up, it has a future.” He knew, they knew exactly what He was doing. They knew by His message that He was offering something completely distinct from what they taught. They knew He was calling for the destruction of their system. And so, they wanted to kill Him.

Now verse 7 makes sense. “Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples.” It's really an act of protection, an act of common sense. Now He's already had four confrontations with the religious leaders, three of them occurred in chapter 2 and then the one I just pointed out in chapter 3 which is the most hostile one. But this is not going to go away, this is not going to change, it's just going to go on and on and on and on through His whole ministry. And that, by the way is the subject of a new book I've written called The Jesus You Can't Ignorewhich talks about Jesus' confrontations with the false leaders of Israel.

So, Jesus knows that He needs to get away from the immediate anger. It's not God's time yet for Him to be arrested, that doesn't come for a long time. He doesn't want to expose His disciples to any danger either and so it says that He withdrew to the sea. Now Capernaum is right on the lake. He just simply left that location and went somewhere along the north end of the Sea of Galilee to a more isolated place. He's wise to put Himself and His disciples at some distance from these murderous men.

Now just exactly who are His disciples? Well broad word, mathetes, learners, people who had gone beyond the attraction of miracles and wanted to hear what He had to say. They were a little more interested in His theology to varying degrees. Among them and there were many nameless ones, we don't know how many at this point, but among them are some familiar names who later become Apostles. In fact, we're going to actually meet the Apostles in the next paragraph in Mark. But at this particular time, according to chapter 1 verses 16 to 20, He has already called Simon and Andrew...Peter and Andrew and James and John. According to chapter 2, verses 13 and 14, He's called Matthew the tax collector, so there are five. According to John's gospel, chapter 1 verses 35 to 51, He's called Philip and Nathaniel. So there are already seven of the Apostles, five more to be named in the next paragraph along with other followers. They are at various stages of interest in His teaching. They even don't come to any great confession until chapter 8 when Peter, no doubt, speaking for them says, “You are the Christ.” They are following, for the moment, and Jesus gives them some momentary relief from potential open conflict with His enemies by going to a different location. However, you might get away from the enemies but you can't get away from the friends, and a great multitude from Galilee followed.

It's a big crowd. It says great multitude in verse 7, it says great number in verse 8. The Bible always tends to understate things. This is a massive crowd. We can estimate it in the tens of thousands of people rather readily. His fame has been spreading everywhere. It says here that the crowd comes from both Galilee which is in the north and Judea in the south. If you go back to chapter 1, you can see how this has been growing over the weeks and months, 1:21 He went to Capernaum immediately on the Sabbath, He entered the synagogue began to teach, they were all amazed at His teaching.

The effect of this is quick, verse 28, immediately the news about Him spread everywhere and to all the surrounding district of Galilee the word goes like a grass fire, verse 32, when evening came, still in Capernaum after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon possessed and the whole city had gathered at the door and He healed many, cast out many demons.

Verse 39, He went all around into synagogues throughout all Galilee preaching, casting out demons, verse 45, again it tells us He went everywhere and trying to avoid undo publicity He found Himself having to go into unpopulated areas where the crowd continued to find Him and press against Him. Chapter 2 verse 13, He went again by the seashore, all the people were coming to Him and He was teaching them. That's the way it was everywhere He went in Galilee and the crowd kept growing, and growing, and growing, and growing. Nothing like it in the history of the world. Nothing certainly like it in the experience of these people. Massive healings happening before their eyes, people being delivered from demons. It was a wonder of wonders, the likes of which no one could ever imagine.

Now understand, this is a period of time in which there is no medical care, there is no real healing by the medical arts. This is a time when people are dominated and obsessed and oppressed and indwelt by demons. This is a horrible time. This is a difficult world, life expectancy is short. There is massive amounts of illness. And the attraction for those who were ill and had friends and family members is just unbelievable. The relief of suffering, the relief of demon-torment was far more interesting to them than Jesus' theology. So they came. They even came from the capital of Israel from Jerusalem. They came from Idumea. Idumea would be south and east of Judah, way down in the desert south of Jerusalem in Judah. This would be populated by historic Edomites, descendants of Esau as indicated in Genesis 36. And it was also largely populated by Jews and there was a mix of Jews and Edomites, but that area was generally considered as part of Israel. So you had kind of the Jews from Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem, and then you had the mix of Jew and Gentile from Idumea. Then it says beyond the Jordan which would be east of the Jordan River, east of Galilee running north and south an area called Peraea, also mixed Jew and Gentile under the rule of Herod Antipas.

And then the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon, northwest of Galilee to the Mediterranean shore, the old area of the great seafaring world of the Phoenicians. That would be a strictly Gentile area. So the Jewish areas, the mixed Jew and Gentile areas and the Gentile areas also literally giving up masses of people, flooding in and around Capernaum in the region of Galilee, bringing their desperate, demon-possessed and diseased friends and family, drawn by the fame of Jesus.

It says a great number at the end of verse 8, they came because they heard of all that He was doing and they came to Him. And again I say, as a footnote, this is remarkable testimony t hat indicts the ultimate unbelief and rejection of Jesus Christ by the leaders and the people. No one denies the miracles, they all affirm the miracles. No one denies that He had power over the kingdom of darkness, over the agents of hell and still they reject the Lord Jesus Christ. No one tries to dismiss Jesus as a fraud ever, no one, not any of their leaders. His miracles are daily. They are public. They are undeniable testimony and evidence of His deity, yet in the end they will scream for His blood and say, “Crucify Him, crucify Him.” And we're reminded again of why false religion is called demon doctrine because it captures souls and sends them to hell. In fact the crowd is so threatening that verse 9 says He told His disciples that a boat should stand ready for Him because of the crowd, so they wouldn't crowd Him.

What do you mean a boat? The diminutive is used in the Greek, a little boat, just a little boat. If you look at the last word in verse 9, “would not crowd Him,” it's a verb there. It's thlibosin(?), it means to squeeze, it means to crush, it means to press. Jesus was literally afraid that the crowd would crush Him. They were a mob. They were, in one sense, a desperate mob. In that sense they are a wild mob, clamoring to get near Him to be healed. And the little boat, what would that do? He could get in the little boat and be pushed out into the lake, get away from the shore and thus away from the people. If you look over at chapter 4 verse 1, “He began to teach again by the sea. And such a very large crowd gathered to Him that He got into a boat in the sea and sat down and the whole crowd was by the sea on the land.” Literally they forced Him into the water. I like to see the fact that Jesus uses common sense here, even though He's the Son of God and has supernatural power. In spite of His divine power, He does what makes good sense to protect Himself from harm.

So, the popularity of Jesus unmistakable. The general response is that they...they come after Him, they want the miracles, never the gospel. And sadly, at the end, He pronounces judgment on them and on their unbelief and many of them are the very people He had healed and delivered.

The second thing that we see in the snapshot that Mark gives us here is not only the popularity if Jesus, but the power of Jesus. His fame is driven by His power, verse 10, He had healed many with the result that all those who had afflictions pressed around Him in order to touch Him. He had healed many. You remember back in chapter1 verses 29 to 31, 32 to 34, verses 40 and following, chapter 2 verses 1 to 12, we've gone through the healings and the references to many other healings, constant display going on all the time. And remember this, folks, healing is a creative act...healing is a creative act. He had made everything, John 1:1, not anything was made that was not made by Him. He is the Creator. And He created limbs and organs. He created them right before the people. That's why Romans 1:4 says He was declared to be the Son of God with power. He had drew everybody.

The results, back to verse 10, was that all those who had afflictions pressed around Him in order to touch Him. Affliction is fascinating. Afflictions is the word mastigos(?), it's the Greek word for a scourge, a whip. It's a funny way to refer to your illness, isn't it? You can refer...we use the word affliction, it's kind of a benign word in one sense, but the Greek word mastigos,is a whip, a scourge, it is the very word for scourge or whip.

Why would they refer to their illnesses and disabilities as a whip, as if someone is whipping them and scourging them? Because in their system of theology, anybody who had such an infirmity was under the judgment of...whom?...God, in their theology. That's why they asked about the blind man, who sinned, this man or his parents? People who were under the scourge of God and would view themselves that way because that was the way they were taught saw themselves as being punished by God and that gave reason for people to keep them out of the synagogue, out of the social discourse, they were outcasts. Some times not only cut off from th e synagogue, cut off from their own family, isolated. All these people who saw themselves as under the scourge of God came in their desperation. It says they pressed around Him, epipiptanliterally means to fall on Him, to crush Him. It's a mob.

Why? Because they're all trying to do one thing, they want to touch Him. Why? Because He had healed people with a touch. And the word had spread that when He touched someone, they were healed, chapter 1 verse 41, “Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and he was healed immediately and the leprosy left him.” In chapter 6 it's verse 56, whenever He entered villages or cities or countryside, they were laying the sick in the marketplaces, imploring Him that He might just touch...that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak and as many as touched it were being cured. That didn't help them go away. When they touched Him and when He touched them, they were instantly and totally healed and so the crush is on and His powers explosive as He heals everybody.

The second category of power displayed is in verse 11, “Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they would fall down before Him.” Stop at that point for a moment. Unclean spirits, another term for demons, agents of Satan, fallen angels. They were everywhere. They were indwelling people. We already met a situation like this in Capernaum, chapter 1 verse 23. There's a man in the synagogue, Jesus is there on Sabbath teaching. Verse 23, this man is in the synagogue, he has an unclean spirit, he screams. Demons don't want to blow their cover. They don't want to be seen as evil and wretched, they want to hide...they want to hide and do their deadly damning work. But when Jesus showed up, they went into panic.

It shouldn't surprise you if you know James 2:19 where it says, “The devils believe and...what?...tremble.” They're terrified of Him and their terror caused them to be unable to keep silent. When Jesus comes into the synagogue, the demon screams in terror and says, “What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? Is this the time for our destruction? I know who You are, the holy one of God.”

Wow! Jesus rebuked him saying, “Be quiet, come out of Him and threw the man into convulsions. The unclean spirit screamed again with a loud voice and came out of Him. They were all amazed and debated among themselves, ‘What is this? A new teaching with authority, He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey Him.' And the news spread everywhere.”

This is crucial proof that He has power not only over the natural world but the supernatural world. If He is the Son of God, He has power over His creation both material and immaterial. If He is the Son of God, He has power over His creation, physical and spiritual. He is the Son of God, He must have power over Satan and demons...and He did...and He did. And the demons were terrified in His presence.

And what did they do to respond? Whenever He appeared and they saw Him, it says they literally would fall down. The person they were living in would go to the ground. They would literally throw the person down. Prospiptan is the verb and it's used eight times in the New Testament, every time it means an inferior bowing to a superior. They knew who their Lord was...their sovereign.

So Mark gives us a picture here of the popularity of Jesus and the power of Jesus. And then, thirdly, there's a testimony here of the person of Jesus, it comes from this most unlikely source. The unclean spirits not only bowed down before Him, but screamed, “You are the Son of God.” Wow! You know, they know the truth. They believe the truth and they are terrified. This is testimony added to the testimony of God the Father, “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased,” chapter 1 verse 11. This is testimony added to the testimony of the demon in chapter 1 verse 24, “You are the Son of God.” And the demons will go on saying this, chapter 5 verse 7, you have that really bizarre man with an unclean spirit living in the tombs who breaks the chains that are bound upon him, screams in the tombs, the mountains, gashes himself with stones. Sees Jesus, verse 6 chapter 5, from a distance, ran up and what does he do? He falls down before Him, knowing He's his Lord, his sovereign. Screams, “What business do we have with You or with each other, Jesus Son of the Most High God?” Don't torment me.

Who is this? Who is this Jesus? None other than the Son of God. The Father states it, the demons know it. The disciples struggled with it. They wonder in chapter 4, who is this man? In chapter 8 they say, “You are the Christ, the Messiah.” Eventually they come to believe He's the Son of God but the nation never does, never confesses Him and therefore never believes and therefore never receives eternal life.

No, the critics are wrong. Jesus is no mere man with a small sphere of influence. He is the Son of God, the Messiah, the King, the Sovereign, the Savior. The Old Testament religion was a system that emphasized the distance between God and the sinner. Though God was at work in the nation, He was distant. The arrival of Jesus obliterates the distance, obliterates the separation...God comes near. The Law kept us at a distance and frightened us, the smoke and fire and burning. Jesus comes near and welcomes us. You can't come to God by the Law, it will destroy you. You can only come to God through faith in Christ. That's why Hebrews 10 says, “Draw near in full assurance of faith.”

All that is written by Mark, all that is written by Matthew, Luke and John is to show you who Jesus is that you might believe and have eternal life.

Closing comment in verse 12. Jesus earnestly warned them not to tell who He was. He had authority over the demons, and He exercised it. He told them never, never to say who He was. He didn't want that. Not all the demons were there that day, some didn't get the memo. So we'll find out in chapter 5. But He didn't want them affirming who He was because that's very confusing. Jesus didn't want people to think demons were His allies, demons were His press agents, demons were His representatives. He wants no promotion from the filthy realm of Satan. It reminds me of Paul in Acts 16 where the demon-possessed girl comes running along and says, “These are the servants of the true high...true...Most High God.” Paul says, “Quiet,” and silenced the demon. Don't say anything.

And I think that even leaks to His disciples. He doesn't want them spreading around who He is as the Son of God too wildly because this is liable to foment a kind of reaction that He's not ready's not yet time. Cause people would be prone like they were after they were fed free food to try to force Him to take His messianic place. All in God's good time. Most important thing was that individual people seeing the miracles, understanding this make the conclusion of who He is, accept His message that He came to end Judaism and to bring salvation by faith alone in Him alone and embrace Him as Lord and Savior.

So Mark has established his purpose, to tell the story of Jesus Christ who is the Son of God, the title of deity that no Jew would ever mistake and He has proven it. The only thing left is for you to respond to it. If you've received the evidence, embrace the truth concerning Jesus Christ. Do you believe in Him as God's Son and your Redeemer? If you do, you have eternal life.

Father, thank You again for the power of the truth, again the glimpse of Christ, riveting, compelling and transforming. Again we are swept up in wondrous truth. Well what can we say to You about the gift that we've received of faith in Him? We're so grateful that You didn't leave us in the darkness, that You gave us the Word, we're so grateful that You unfolded it to us through teachers and through the Spirit of God so that we saw the evidence, we embrace the evidence and by Your power we believed the evidence and we came to the confession, “This is the Christ the Son of the living God,” and that believing that we've received eternal life. We rejoice in that, O Lord. We thank You that we don't stand with the darkened souls of those who are captive in false and damning religion. Lord, we can only ask today that You would rescue sinners, that You would free people from the delusions, free them from error, free them false religion. And may everyone know and understand and believe that Jesus is the Christ and there's no salvation in any other than Him.

Big Meadows

Big Meadows, near the center of the park, is the largest developed area of SNP and located on the Skyline Drive at Milepost 51. It contains the park's Harry F. Byrd Visitor Center, as is a lodge, camp store, and camping area. A wildlife and plant observation log is kept at the Byrd Visitor Center desk, you are encouraged to add your sightings to the list. Several of the parks popular hiking trails can be accessed from Big Meadows, including the Mill Prong Trail, which leads to Rapidan Camp, the restored presidential fishing retreat of Herbert Hoover from 1929-1933 on the Rapidan River. Big Meadows was the site of the dedication of Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1936.

The Big Meadows area has the highest concentration of rare plants in Shenandoah National Park. Big Meadows is also the most visible and studied wetland at SNP. Two Mafic Fens (types of wetlands) contain globally rare plant communities believed to be endemic to the Park and support eight state rare plant species. The Meadow also supports an abundance of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and insects, some of which are not found elsewhere in the Park. A state listed snake, a rare insect, and several salamander and bird species are among the animals that occupy the Big Meadows wetland areas.

One such high-value area, the Big Meadows Swamp (BMS, or Swamp), is a 20 acre wetland located between the Big Meadows Campground and Skyline drive. Officially termed a "fen", the Big Meadows Swamp (BMS) is a wetland fed by groundwater rich in calcium and iron. The nutrient rich waters of the BMS combine with other site characteristics such as the geology, elevation, and environmental conditions to form an environment that supports the extremely rare Northern Blue Ridge Mafic Fen plant community. This vegetation community contains the highest concentration of rare plants per unit area within the entire park, and is found nowhere else in the world besides Big Meadows. To learn more about these studies, download this 2008 SNP Resource Management PDF.

In 1962, during the Ash Wednesday Storm, Big Meadows recorded Virginia's greatest 24-hour snowfall with 33 inches and the storm snowfall was 42 inches. In 1996, during the Blizzard of 1996, Big Meadows recorded Virginia's greatest storm snowfall accumulation at 47". Archaeological work has uncovered evidence of prehistoric periods of human habitation as long ago as 2000 B.C. Big Meadows was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

To Keep Big Meadows a Meadow, as part of an ongoing ecological maintenance project, portions of the Big Meadow are periodically burned in accordance with the Shenandoah National Park Big Meadows Management Plan. The purpose of the burns is to reduce the amount of woody shrubs. This will encourage sun-loving flowering plants, including many of the park’s rare species, and help to maintain the historic open vista.

The below images of a 'controlled burn' were captured by the Big Meadows webcam on March 24th of 2009. The
Big Meadows Webcam is installed at the Byrd Visitor Center, and is operated by a park partner. This particular cam setup allows you to view a time-lapse sequences of images, while this setup on the NPS site allows you to view 3 different sizes of the current image.

The exact situation I was pondering is: do the Thieves I can summon with skills also take advantage of the skills which grant Stealth to allies in an area?

For example, if I use Thieves Guild to summon allies, then use Blinding Powder to grant them Stealth, will they be able to perform an appropriate Stealth attack with whatever weapons they're using?

That's it.

A perennial favorite with musicians, this model features Pattern Thin mahogany neck (with a rosewood neck option) and 57/08 pickups wired for the PRS redesigned 5-way blade switch, which offers a dual humbucker option for the first time (see switching positions below).

In 2008, PRS introduced 57/08 pickups, which were designed to capture a vintage ‘50’s humbucking tone. The 57/08's were an instant success and are now the most asked for PRS Pickups that we sell.

 Capacity Building of Women in India - News and Activities - South Asia - South Asia - GWP IN ACTION - Global Water Partnership

Capacity Building of Women in India

Posted: 2011-11-22

GWP India partner Jheel Sanrakshan Samiti (JSS), together with GWP India, convened Women Self Help Groups from 21 communities on 10 October 2011 to address the role of women in the management of water. The marginalized role of women is related to social, educational and cultural traditions, the participants concluded, noting that the State Water Policy stresses the importance of the participation and involvement of women in water management.

Mr Anil Mehta, Secretary of JSS, said that the burden of water collection falls on women and girls and therefore it is urgent to give attention to strategies to empower them so as to play an effective, sustained and dynamic role at all levels of water resources management.

The participants noted that:
• The women present should increase their role and participation in the implementation of the State Water Policy and on-going projects in their area, underlining that one of the major causes of low interest is lack of education and awareness.
• Women’s convenience, in terms of time and distance, should be the first criterion when deciding the time and place for Water Users Association (WUA) meetings.
• The WUAs distribution of irrigation water functions arbitrarily and there is no voice of women in that meeting.
• Water supply schemes are usually placed near influential persons, forcing  women to bring water on their heads from two to three kilometer distances.
• Women members are the most susceptible to water borne diseases due to their role in water collection, washing and other domestic activities.
• Women have to travel long distances to fetch water and carry it on their heads, which lead to diseases related to spine, neck, shoulders, etc.
• If any member of the family suffers from any water borne disease, then the responsibility to take care of the sick member falls on women.
• Women and girls feel unsafe when they have to go far from their houses to use a toilet. Women and girls suffer from problems like malnutrition, illiteracy and anemia.

Drop 7 Hidden Sugars, Lose Up to 10 Pounds in Just 2 Weeks

Outsmart Sneaky Sugars to Lose Fat Fast!

If you're eating healthy, but just can't seem to lose weight, you're not alone. Sugar is the single biggest needle mover when it comes to your health and the number on the scale, but sugar hides in places you'd never expect: whole foods, diet foods, packaged foods, dressings . . . even sugar substitutes. And it's not enough to cut out or cut back on sugar-you have to cut out the right kinds of sugar.
In this groundbreaking book, New York Times bestselling author JJ Virgin explains the powerful concept of Sugar Impact: how different sugars react differently in the body. High Sugar Impact foods cause weight gain, energy crashes, and inflammation. Low Sugar Impact foods fuel your body for prolonged energy and promote fat burning. This eye-opening book pinpoints the most damaging sugars that we eat every day-without even realizing it-in common foods like skim milk, diet soda, whole-grain bread, and "healthy" sweeteners like agave.
By swapping high Sugar Impact foods for low Sugar Impact foods you will shed fat fast-up to 10 pounds in 2 weeks!-and transform your body and your health for good. Best of all, you don't need to eliminate sugar completely or count calories. Prepare to:
  • Lose the bloat
  • Target belly fat
  • Rev your metabolism
  • Cut cravings
  • Become a fat burner, not a sugar burner
  • Lose fat fast-and forever!

Pretty cool interview (good job moving the conversation along btw).

Anybody can create their own mini-framework to assist in the completion of whatever niche task the developer thinks is in dire need of a new solution, but I wish there was more expansion on the idea of Nancy as a service end point.

I know Microsoft realized a long time ago that there was going to be some cross over between WCF and ASP.NET MVC, but it seems like to do some simple RESTful POX services does require high "ceremony". Set-up of endpoints and actions can be easy once you have configured your WCF services site (but then you lose out on a lot of the cool things MVC offers). If you go with MVC, you really have to roll a lot of your own foundation coding to mimic some WCF goodies, so either way you have to do a lot to accomplish a task that can only be higher in demand these days with every client-sided coding library needing AJAX requests/JSON responses or just to expose data to alternative clients like handsets.

I do see value in a project that would permit rapid prototyping for RESTful services.

Agreed. That said, I think you'll see some cool integration between MVC and WCF in the coming months that will reconcile some of the goo. Those two groups all work for ScottGu now. ;)

@Ian & @Scott

Since Nancy can run on-top of WCF, you can still leverage a lot of the WCF stack "below" Nancy. See the beauty? ;)

I see what you did there! Nice and well-played!

Read them both, thanks though! I was needing some "real world" opinions, reviews and articles only say so much to me, I suffer from analysis paralysis.

How about I do a raid 0 on the 2x250's for the OS and games, and buy a 500gb for vids etc...?

My System Specs

You're pretty much done with you're overclocking. My 970 can do 4200 (200*21) at 1,360 vcore without breaking the 60c barrier (under water), next step up is 4410 (210*21) at 1,424v and the 70-75 zone. Not really worth the heat and noise.

Now you've found the sweet spot for your cpu, time to tweak your memory. I can run 1830, 2000 and 2210 mhz and still get 4200 cpu speed. My cpu just doesn't work well with anything else than 19x, 21x and 23x. All depends on your IMC. Just up the mhz and memtest untill it fails, back down a little, then continue with lowering timings till it throws errors.

And don't forget to run your uncore as high as possible. Once you're running at high memory speed (1600+), each time you up the multiplier, it nets you a good increase in bandwith. Not really something you'll feel when browsing, but folding ppd increase linearly, so i would think that at least transcoding and (maybe) gaming will benefit from it.

And try to stay away from the itch to get better cooling...

There must be some common thread- I'm sure it's not Scratch's fault, but perhaps there's something in that setup that is setting the boards off

Cool Router build critique

Hey guys.

I'm going to be building a low power router for my new house. Its going to be my bro and I plus a roomie, and all 3 of us will most likely be using the internet to the max.

Because of this, I want to have a decent router to handle:
  • DHCP Server
  • Torrents (I NEED the latest distros!)
  • IP Tables firewall
  • MLPPP connection
  • Major QoS for VoIP

For this task, I selected the recently released Atom (I can't wait for Bobcat). Here is my build:

I know Untangle's requirements are high, but I was under the impression the Atom would still function decently. Can anyone tell me otherwise? And do you think this would handle it well enough? I am fairly sure it will but other opinions are always good!

Pending full membership in the Faculty Senate, all other colleges shall be entitled to elect a non-voting representative who shall be eligible to attend all Faculty Senate meetings.

1. Each college shall elect a number of senators according to the following table, based on the number of faculty of record on March 31. Fractional numbers shall be rounded as follows: (X.01 to X.49, round down to X; X.50 to X.99, round up to X+1.) The election of Senators should be held after March 31:

5. A college gaining a Faculty Senate seat because of an increase in the ranks of its Faculty shall reflect this gain, and the Faculty Senate seat so gained shall be effective with the academic year following the actual increase in faculty.

Hilo Woman, 72, Robbed 10-13-00

PHONE: 961-2311
OCTOBER 13, 2000

Police are looking for a male teenager who grabbed a purse from a 72-year-old Hilo woman who was injured in a robbery Friday night (October 13, 2000).

Responding to a 7:02 p.m. call, police learned that the victim was in the Prince Kuhio Plaza parking lot fronting Liberty House when the teenager grabbed her purse. The woman hung onto the purse as the suspect tried to flee and was dragged along the ground until the strap broke. The suspect then fled with the purse down Pilipaa Street. He was last seen running in the brush at Ohuohu and Kahaopea Streets. A police search of the area failed to turn up any sign of the suspect.

Although the victim suffered scrapes and bruises, she declined medical attention.

The suspect was described as being in his middle to late teens, being about 5-feet-4 in height, weighing 120 to 130 pounds with a thin build, having a dark complexion, being clean shaven and having short black hair. He was wearing a black T-shirt with a possible white design on the front, long black shorts and light-colored sneakers.

Anyone with information about robbery or the whereabouts of the suspect is asked to call police at 935-3311.

Those who wish to remain anonymous may call Crime Stoppers at 961-8300 in Hilo or 329-8181 in Kona. The numbers are answered 24 hours a day. Callers will be given a coded number and their identity will remain anonymous. Callers may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000 if their call leads to an arrest, indictment or the recovery of property. Crime Stoppers neither subscribes to “Caller ID,” nor does it record phone calls.

Have your say

A good turnout of the elders from local Church of Scotland charges met in St George’s West Church hall on Wednesday night to hear Mr W. Law, of the Stewardship and Budget Department, Edinburgh, spell out the urgent challenge of inflation to their organisation. He said that the Church would require an extra £2-million to maintain present services. Every congregation was now under pressure. He told delegates: “Like the nation, the church faces a crucial choice. We can refuse to give our help. We can turn away complaining that the Church is always asking for money and do so little for Christ. Or we can take our part with a resolve not to fail our Lord and his Church.”

An exciting exhibition opens in the Scott Gallery on Tuesday, featuring the work of Tom Carr, a man who started as a colliery blacksmith and developed into one of the most popular and sought-after painters of hunters and race horses in the country. Ever since his family can remember, Tom Carr carried with him a sketchbook which he would fill with his impressions of country scenes or incidents. An enforced early retirement through the heavy nature of his work meant that Tom Carr, blacksmith, soon began to forge for himself a reputation as an equestrian painter and illustrator.

A senior District Councillor has urged Region planners to give the go-ahead for a £6-million private enterprise retail park at Galalaw and to ignore the “shouting, bawling and gnashing of teeth” from the project’s opponents, many of whom he claims have vested interests in preventing increased competition. Councillor Jamie Batten, District Policy and Resources Committee vice-covener, has been an enthusiastic supporter of Galalaw from the outset, welcoming plans for industrial, housing, leisure and retail development. It is the latter proposal, however, which has caused an outcry from local traders who claim that increased competition will result in the closure of more town centre shops.

The dinner season was launched in fine style last Friday with the ‘quality’ night at the 1514 Burns supper. Captain for the evening was President David Solley, who was a proud man as he unveiled his line up of guests to the assembled company at the Burns Club. He was keen to welcome back pianist Ian Seeley to the ‘no-smoking dinner’ and his presence was warmly applauded by the 170 plus members and guests. President Solley also congratulated his great friend Lindsay Nichol, who is the Mosstroopers President for the year.

For most couples, stress and overwork takes its toll on intimacy. When we are desperately tired after a long week at work, it’s not surprising that sex is the first thing that falls off the menu. Once sex dies, intimacy isn’t far behind. After all, if you are tired and not in the mood for sex, you instinctively draw away from your partner because you know that a hug may lead to a request for sex. Once you get into this pattern of behaviour, it’s a downward spiral. The good news is that you can bring back the spark, but it will require some effort.
Remember How Things Were?
Think back to when you two first met. Did you spend entire weekends in bed? If so, think back to how that felt and how much fun you had. Sure, life happened, but you can rediscover the passion if you try hard enough. The spark may have faded, but it’s still there, waiting to be rekindled.

Sexy Flirting

Start with a bit of sexy flirting. Try sending your partner a sexy text message when he’s at work or if you spend time apart because if your jobs, indulge in some phone sex. It’s an easy way to spice up your love life without actually getting physical, but if you are out of practice, get some experience using a service like Arousr.com. All this flirting will ramp up the tension nicely, so by the time you go to bed, you won’t need to expend a lot of effort to reach the finish line. It’s also fun to take sexy photos and use them to tease your partner. For example, you could go lingerie shopping and send a few photos from the changing room. Your partner will love it, but be careful not to send your sexy pics to the wrong person in your contact list, or it could get a bit awkward.

Sex Ban

It may sound counterintuitive, but declaring you are not going to have sex for a specified amount of time may just put you in the mood. You can touch each other, but no full on sex. Unsurprisingly, if we can’t have something, we generally want it so much more.

Just Do It

More often than not, if you go ahead and have sex, you will actually enjoy it. Overcoming the reluctance factor is the hard part, especially if you are tired and feeling out of sorts, so put your reluctance to one side and just do it. Your relationship will benefit enormously.
Don’t let the passion die in your relationship – follow the tips above and you can restore intimacy in no time!

Simple Ways to Restore the Passion in a Long-Term Relationship

3 Things To Do During A Stay-In-Bed Day

The path to finding true love is not always an easy one. When you’re in a relationship and it’s not going well, or it’s reached the point where you should either feel ready to make a bigger commitment or to call it a day, it’s not always easy to decide what to do. If you've been single for a while, it's sometimes hard to envisage how you can move forward and into a rewarding relationship.

Of course, if you’re with someone, ideally you’d be able to talk through any issues or big decisions together. If you’re looking for a new partner, you’d hope that you’d be able to decide what kind of relationship you want or the type of person you’d like to be with. However, it’s not always easy to make decisions about love without talking things through with someone.

The question is: where you should seek advice on your love life and what are the benefits in consulting other people?

Most of us turn to trusted friends or a family member when we’re looking for personal advice. However, discussing our love life with someone who’s personally connected to you can be difficult. If, for instance, you were considering ending a relationship, the friend you confide in might have their own opinion on the situation and try to influence your decisions because of that bias. It may be awkward for some friends to advise you if they are close to both you and your partner. That’s not to say you shouldn’t discuss love life problems with your friends or family; just be aware they may not be completely impartial.

Where to Seek Love Life Advice

If you have heard of something called Dermaroller then you likely would have heard of Micro-needling. Dermaroller is just the more common name for it. If you haven't, and you are unsure what it is exactly, it's a process by which a roller or stamp-like tool covered in tiny needles is used to poke many holes into the skin. The holes are so small that they are barely visible, but collectively they are meant to improve skin health.
Should You Try Micro-Needling (Dermaroller) or Not?

If there is one thing that is worth investing in, it's lingerie. Making sure you are giving those lovely breasts of yours the love and care they deserve is important. We all know we should be spending more on good quality underwear - especially bras, and making sure they are fitting us properly. Saying that I think we are all guilty of sometimes thinking more about the bank balance over taking care of our bodies. I'm sure we've all been there, you buy cheap bras thinking you will be saving a few pounds, but most of the time that £6 bra ends up falling apart, or ends up giving you back and neck ache. I truly believe investing in good quality underwear and lingerie is money well spent. Your boobs and bum will thank you for it!

As a lady with fairly large breasts, I often find shopping for bras on the high street stressful. With limited styles in larger sizes and quite often nothing in my size at all I find shopping online is so much easier and there is a lot more choice. I love House Of Fraser for lingerie, and with having so many brands available such as Ann Summers, Calvin Klein and Heidi Klume Intimates to name just a few, there's always something available in the style and size you want. Whether you are buying for everyday wear, for a special occasion or even for a special someone, HOF is the best place to shop for stocking up your knicker drawer.

With happy bodies in mind, I have picked out my favourite pieces from House Of Fraser's lingerie department.

Sexy and sassy
The fun part about lingerie shopping definitely comes from this category! Feeling sexy and dressing up is all part of the fun and is normally a warmly welcomed treat from all parties.

Re: Lump in throat/sent to another Dr/please more advise!!

I have suffered with this lump in throat feeling off and on for several years now. Doc thought it could be from acid reflux...took meds, no help. Had some tests, all were fine. Do have two tiny thyroid nodules, but not large enough to cause this. Since all the docs say it's nothing I've figured it just must be a muscle spasm. I do get them in my neck and it interferes with the cervical curve so I've just assumed this causes it and try not to let it worry me too much. It IS annoying as sin though. Thankfully I do get relief from it as it comes and goes. Sometimes I have it for months and then it will be gone for longer. Have you tried a muscle relaxer or xanax? I don't usually push meds, but either of these may help relax that muscle (of course if it's not something else).
