I have no doubt that this famous Christian singer knew when she was asked that it is sin. On The Domenic Nati Show Lauren Daigle was asked a controversial question: Is homosexuality a sin? To which she replied: “I can’t say one way or the other, I’m not God.”  She failed the test because of course you don’t need to be God to know what sin is.

Then she said, “I can’t honestly answer on that, in the sense of I have too many people that I love and they are homosexuals.”  And finally she said, “So when people ask questions like that…that’s what my go to is.  I just say read the Bible and find out for yourself.  And when you find out let me know, because I’m learning too,” she continued.

She is claiming not to know what the Bible clearly teaches about homosexuality. She lied. However, we should not condemn her because her failure and dishonesty is a part of a much bigger crisis. For years I have warned of this day and it has finally arrived. The storm is here. All out war on the Bible and a rampant illiteracy of scripture in the church.

We saw it in the midterm elections when millions of Christians voted abortion and socialism back into power. Now we have, not just Lauren, but a vast number of believers who have suffered at the hands of those who refuse to teach Bible standards. But this was all predicted and it has come!

Look at all that voices that said this day was coming.  And heed my warning about what to do now.

2 years ago, Franklin Graham said: “The Storm is coming.”  David Wilkerson saw a coming storm of persecution and violence.  He saw devastation in New York with fire and massive death and rampant immorality.    Few believed him because at that time, unemployment was less than 5% and because Disney had just taken over the seedy areas of Times Square area and made it family oriented.  All of his words have come to pass.

In 1998 he predicted a coming storm and explains why the church would not listen to warnings:

David Wilkerson: “The majority of churchgoers today soundly reject all prophetic warnings of a coming storm. Indeed, the American church today is the most blatant ‘feel good’ church in all of history. But, like Israel, we’re only experiencing the calm before the storm!

Likewise today, Christians by the multiple thousands are casting off the yoke of Christ, tossing aside all limits and restrictions. This attitude is prevalent in many of the books and magazines you find in Christian bookstores. It’s almost as if our leaders are saying, “Relax! God isn’t hard. He’s our Daddy, we’re all his kids, and we’re meant to have a good time. Don’t let anyone disturb your fun!”

However, he also said God gives advance warning and provides protection.

“Moreover, God is faithful to speak in times of prosperity, just before the fury of his judgment strikes. While the storm clouds are still gathering, he raises up prophetic voices all over the land. And, according to scripture, whenever a sinful nation was prosperous and at peace, God told his prophets to warn that the good times soon would end: “…the Lord hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity…” (Zechariah 7:7).

Beloved, if we’re going to face the coming storm, then we need to be prepared so nothing disturbs our spirit. And the only way to do that is to spend time in the father’s presence, beholding his face. We have to be shut in with him – on our knees – until we’re thoroughly persuaded he’s at our right hand!

God is clearly telling us, ‘Don’t be moved or agitated by anything you see. Keep your eyes focused on me – and you’ll retain your joy!’ And according to David, Jesus testified, ‘…thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.’ (Acts 2:28).

We always have to keep in mind, God’s only purpose in lovingly calling us back to himself is to protect us in such times of storm. Yet often in biblical history, when he gave these warnings, the people refused to listen: ‘He sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the Lord; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.’ (2 Chronicles 24:19).

Almost always, God’s people grew weary of these warnings. This was especially true if a prophet cried out about a coming storm over a period of years, but the society only continued to be prosperous and at peace. Over time, the people simply switched off the prophet’s voice. They simply didn’t want to hear it anymore.”

Steve Hill saw vision of a coming storm that had the potential to destroy millions of Christians because of false teaching running rampant through the church.

Steve Hill: The Lord began to speak. I trembled. The fresh, new snow represented the false teaching that is steadily falling on the ears of the body of Christ. It has been, and is, a heavy snowfall. The skiers represented believers and non-believers, trusting the resort for a safe and memorable experience. As Christians, we have been warned to be sober and vigilant (1 Peter 5:8). However, the present, awe-inspiring teachings have lulled many into a deeper sleep.

The layers upon layers of snow have been steadily covering the solid traditional truth of Christ. The truth is that foolish teaching in these days will become so fashionable even the most dedicated believer could become deceived (Matt. 24:24). It’s happening before our eyes. One spiritual leader said the other day: ‘You guys are old-fashioned ‘holiness,’ we are modern day ‘grace.’ You live in bondage while we can do anything we want.’

Pastors and teachers worldwide have succumbed to heretical teachings including universal reconciliation, deification of man, challenging the validity of the Word of God including His judgments, and even lifting any boundaries, claiming His amazing grace is actually “amazing freedom.” You are free to live according to your own desires. Sound familiar? ‘They had no king and did what was right in their own eyes” (Judges 17:6). These popular self-proclaimed ministers of the gospel are covering the “slopes” and will be held accountable for the spiritual death of millions.”

Kenneth Hagin: “I looked at the scroll again, and again I looked to see what I had read about. I saw the skyline of a large city. Looking closer, I saw the skyscrapers were burned-out hulls. Portions of the city lay in ruins. It was not written that just one city would be destroyed, burned, and in ruins, but that there would be many such cities.Kenneth Hagin

America’s Last Call

The scroll was written in the first person, and seemed as if Jesus Himself were speaking. I read, ‘America is receiving her last call. Some nations already have received their last call and never will receive another.’

Then, in larger print it said, ‘THE TIME OF THE END OF ALL THINGS IS AT HAND.’ This statement was repeated four or five times. Jesus also said this was the last great revival. He went on to say, “All the gifts of the Spirit will be in operation in the Church in these last days, and the Church will do greater things than even the Early Church did. It will have greater power, signs, and wonders than were recorded in the Acts of the Apostles.”

In 1927 Smith Wigglesworth said a storm was coming that would cause many to fall away.  This went against the grain of the roaring twenties giddiness and the heyday of Pentecostalism.  He added that a remnant would know God as never before and who would practice extravagant asking.

“We have to see that these days have to come before the Lord can come. There has to be a falling away.  I want to speak to you very exactly. All the people which are pressing into and getting ready for this glorious attained place where they shall not be found naked, where they shall be blameless, where they shall be immovable, where they shall be purified by the power of the Word of God, have within them a consciousness of the very presence of God within, changing their very nature and preparing them for a greater thing, and causing them to be ready for translation.

This is the day of purifying. This is the day of holiness. This is the day of separation. This is the day of waking. O God, let us wake today! Let the inner spirit wake into consciousness that God is calling us.

There are in the world two classes of believers. There are believers which are disobedient, or I ought to say there are children which are saved by the power of God which are disobedient children. And there are children which are just the same saved by the power of God who all the time are longing to be more obedient.

Up to this present time the Lord’s word is for us, “Hitherto ye have asked nothing.” Surely you people that have been asking great things from God for a long time would be amazed if you entered into it with clear knowledge that it is the Master, it is Jesus, who has such knowledge of the mightiness of the power of the Father, of the joint union with Him, that nothing is impossible for you to ask. Surely it is He only Who could say “Hitherto you have asked nothing.”

Oral Roberts warned us about “people who go to church only for themselves and of preachers who care nothing about reaching the world for Christ.”   How can we deny that this is true?  We have reached the point where so many Christians are unteachable and Pastors are oblivious to the great commission.

Now let’s put all of these words together and allow God to show us what we are to do to be strong, to be effective and most of all not to be deceived by the storm that is upon us now.

David Wilkerson was trying to teach us that as God’s remnant in a storm of deception, violence and persecution we can be safe; we can even thrive.

Steve Hill placed a great deal of emphasis on the massive amount of false teaching that would rob the church of her preparation, blind her to the right choices she should make, and leave her vulnerable so that she alongside of the world is destroyed.

But he also provided the hope that repentance and true submission to God would provide a shelter from the storm.

Kenneth Hagin was warning us that America had a final call.  I believe we are at that call right now.  He saw buildings burning and cities inundated by the judgment of God. However he also offered great hope that the people of God would even do greater things than the apostles did in the book of Acts.

Now listen with all of your heart, with all of your might and with zero distractions. This storm will damage every compromised carnal Christian.   Jesus was calling the foolish man who built his house on the sand someone who had heard the words of Christ but would not do them. That is the key right now. All of these warnings are for Christians.

So what do you do to be prepared for this storm?  What steps do we take to obey the words of warning that come to us first from the Bible and then from the prophets of God?   Distilling the common threads that run through these four men’s prophecies I found these steps

1. Stop being stupid. Stop following preachers that are weakening you, using you, and denying the coming storm. Get out of the churches that look like nightclubs. Get away from the seductive teaching that denies hell, the blood of Christ, the inerrancy of the Bible and the urgency of the great commission.  Don’t follow their teaching.  For heaven’s sake do not give them any money.   Do not fellowship with believers who condone drunkenness or immorality.   This compromised Christianity is precisely the house built on the sand that the storm will destroy.

2. Press into God. The common thread that runs through the messages of these 4 prophets is a call to intimacy with God, and that the result of that intimacy would be a special grace and power to live through anything in the last days.

Each one of them referenced a secret place in God that was available to us that would create a force field of peace and joy and boldness that would serve to deflect every lie, every threat, and every attack.

Every one of them spoke of a level of power that would be revealed to the last breed of Christian on the earth.  They describe a time of great extremes where wickedness and righteousness would ripen together.

Those who choose to press into God will embody a faith that cannot be shaken by any threat or headline.  They will have a presence of God continually on their life.  Not just some of the time but all of the time.   Disasters will go around them and regardless of how cataclysmic the events of the world become they will be conveyed safely into the kingdom of God.

3.Enter the era of the extravagant asking. Wigglesworth’s reference to extravagant asking is a key to the final revival in the history of the world. He quoted Jesus who said “hitherto you have asked nothing, ask what you will and my father will give it to you that your joy may be full.” All of the prophets hold out a hope for America.   They are trying to sober us up so that we can ask God to spare our nation. We do not have to have the fires, riots and the judgment that is well deserved.

We can ask and receive resources beyond anything we’ve ever seen before.  We can preach with devastating conviction, conviction that can pierce the most heinous sins of our time.  We can ask and receive signs and wonders that exceed what the apostles saw.   We can watch God fill the coffers of anointed ministries beyond anything we can imagine or have ever seen before.

Finally: Truly God’s word is this, “I set before you life and death.”   You can walk away from this message and continue the denial that pervades the church but I promise you this storm is coming.   You can choose life, not just any life but the greatest life that God has offered any generation.

    1. It’s always good to see when one’s own revelations are joined with others.
      This article is truth, alive and active. But God…..

      1. I have been blessed to have preachers and teachers in my life that teach prophecy and covenant. One particular Messianic Jewish brother of mine puts it like this, “God will never stand in man’s courtroom, but rest assured, every last one of us will stand In His.” I’ve felt for a long time that this is the time to pray and praise as never before, be immersed in the Word as never before if we are to survive what’s coming. Not a soul that hasn’t been washed in the most precious Blood that’s ever been spilled can or will stand before His Holiness. The most important thing is to turn our eyes to Jesus, the Word that became flesh, and make Him first and last and everything in between. Then His Joy will be our strength, because America has become like Rome, and we are already burning…

    2. I believe this storm is partly Roman. How is it that the Charismatic Christian world hasn’t the discernment to see that partnering with the Catholics is not healthy. No, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, many of the same leaders put their stamp of approval on the leader of the Lakeland revival, while as they christened him as the next great revivalist, he was in an affair with his children’s nanny whom he would later “marry.”

      Now, our great charismatic leaders are becoming bolder in their partnerships with Catholics. After great concerns were expressed in house of prayer circles, the leader of that ministry doubled down with his allegiance to work with Catholics.

      Some of the best-known evangelists in the charismatic world are calling for unity with Catholics. Of course, the Pope is delighted to have found a chink in the evangelical world. In 2016, He was asked to pronounce a blessing over the missionaries of the largest missionary organization around. It was broadcast to them at the largest gathering. I happened to be there.

      And we cannot forget what happened at the Call a few years ago where many leaders bowed down and asked for forgiveness to the Catholics. Many of us were stunned at what we were seeing at the time, and it opened the doors for a whole young generation to embrace Catholics and their theology as orthodox.

      Believe me, I’ve been in six nations this year and am writing from Colombia right now… there are many outside the USA that see what is happening and are more than a little concerned. Many of them have already written off much of the leadership of the US charismatics as being false guides.

      We should expect grand disagreements with the outside world regarding homosexuality and other social topics. And some Christians will be utterly confused or a loss for words regarding perspective on those topics. But there is a far greater disturbance lying in wait in the charismatic world, and I’m just stating it right here, right now because it is not ok.

      1. In 1972 or 73, I went to view a film at First Assembly of God in Seattle, WA. Only being a believer a year I never heard of David Wilkerson. The Lord have him a “Vision” he wanted to share with the Christian community. At that time, nothing in the vision had taken place. After the viewing, the whole church sat in stun silence. Everything in that vision came to pass, but at the time few people believed him.
        So if David Wilkerson, Smith Wigglesworth and Mario Murillo say there is a storm coming, it would be spiritual suicide not believe it and seek the Lord like never before.
        I have been feeling very uneasy lately seeing what the hatred for President Trump
        has uncovered. This article answers a lot of questions for me thank you.

      2. Jarod Luba
        Please don’t take the Pope out of context,as there are many media outlets only too happy to quote him out of context ,and many more catholic bashers only too willing to listen to them. The Pope is trying to unify all Christians.And what is wrong with the Pope giving blessings to others like that you saw him do? Christian disunity is precisely our problem and is why all hell has broken loose.God doesn’t go along with our division,everyone is the same in his eyes, whether Catholic or Protestant,we are still his children.So maybe you should ask yourself am I feeding this division and actually unwittingly helping the devil(remember the devil wants to scatter the sheep ) or am I helping our cause by strength in unity against the evil that is gripping the world. Catholic mystics are saying and have said nearly exactly the same things that these guys in the article are saying,and they are not condemning others for praying/mixing together. Division does not come from God

        God bless

      3. To speak out against sin is very necessary, but to spend our time speaking against people who say they love the Lord is sin. I am Jewish, and my love for the Lord Jesus has no boundaries. Are Catholics in error doctrinally. We all are, and in humility we need to seek our Lord, and move on, but my God hasn’t called me to look down on you due to your denomination or background.

      4. I am a Roman Catholic and I disagree with your comments. Many, many Catholics believe just as strongly as Charismatic Christians. Loving and serving God is linked firmly with loving others. I read no love in your comments.

    3. Lauren Daigle the singer is not the only one being put on the spot regarding the homosexual issue today.
      Kevin Hart the comedian has been raked over the coals by GLAAD the LBGTQ advocacy group and it most likely will continue against this fella for the rest of his foreseeable career. A Tennessee News agency wrote this informing piece thought you should know, Christians aren’t the only one’s being singled out by the leftist cabal;

      NEW YORK (AP) — Just two days after being named host of the Academy Awards, Kevin Hart stepped down following an outcry over past homophobic tweets by the comedian.Capping a swift and dramatic fallout, Hart wrote on Twitter just after midnight Friday that he was withdrawing as Oscars host because he didn’t want to be a distraction.Hart stepped aside just about an hour after refusing to apologize for tweets that resurfaced after he was announced as Oscars host on Tuesday. In a video on Instagram, Hart said the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences gave him an ultimatum: apologize or “we’re going to have to move on and find another host.”…”I chose to pass on the apology,” Hart said. “The reason why I passed is because I’ve addressed this several times.”The film academy didn’t respond to messages Thursday evening.Hart has since deleted some of the anti-gay tweets, mostly dated from 2009-2011. But they had already been screen-captured and been shared online. In 2011, he wrote in a since-deleted tweet: “Yo if my son comes home & try’s 2 play with my daughters doll house I’m going 2 break it over his head & say n my voice ‘stop that’s gay.”…Hart’s attitudes about homosexuality were also a well-known part of his stand-up act. In the 2010 special “Seriously Funny,” he said “one of my biggest fears is my son growing up and being gay.” “Keep in mind, I’m not homophobic, I have nothing against gay people, do what you want to do, but me, being a heterosexual male, if I can prevent my son from being gay, I will,” Hart said.GLAAD, the advocacy group for LGBTQ rights, said Thursday that it reached out to Oscars broadcaster ABC, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences and Hart’s management to “discuss Kevin’s anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and record.”Comedian and actor Billy Eichner said “a simple, authentic apology showing any bit of understanding or remorse would have been so simple.”

    4. The disciples were first called “Christians” in Antioch. (Acts 11:26) Why was that? “Christian” is Greek for “little Christ” or “mini-Messiah.” The disciples were going around doing what Jesus did and what He told them to do — i.e.: preach the Gospel, heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. So, if we are not doing the same things, are we really Christians, or just church-goers? Maybe we should start earning the title by DOING what Jesus said!

  1. I totally submit to the truth relayed in this write up. It is coming from the throne of the Righteous One who’s Holy our Lord God and Saviour Jesus Christ.

  2. I woke up this morning spending time with God and in His Word. I read Lamentations and it goes along the line with what you are writing about….Your message today is anointed.
    Interesting too that I had been thinking about Steve Hill and how he must be enjoying Himself in the presence of the Lord when you began to write about so many of God’s generals! Oh how I miss these men of God.
    Mario, your words are like springs found in an oasis.
    Thank you.
    I am now living on the East Coast, Treasure Coast in Florida — just moved from Sacramento.
    Please come and visit out here…I haven’t found a church home yet, been here only 2 weeks — but I hope you find your way out East, God willing.
    I believe you and all those who have prophesied about a coming storm. I see the gathering darkness. I see it coming. One would have to be blind not too.
    What we do now, as a church and individually will effect us in the future.
    Press into the Lord all…Press in. Not my will, but God’s will be done.

    1. Jeanie ~ I, too, live on the Treasure Coast. Please PM me on Facebook. Debra (Morgano) Stine-Magrann {Port St. Lucie}. 12/6/18

      1. Life church. Is fantastic! Just had a message series on Heaven and Hell- told the truth! Over1500 saved.

  3. Been preaching 50 years Your message let’s me know why I have not fit into most churches today. I have seen greater moves of the Holy Spirit in House Meetings then local churches But I am excited to see the Holy Spirit move once again.

  4. Powerful word you just gave…I was up early reading this morning along the same lines.
    I am so concerned in the amount of Pastor’s tiptoeing around with their messages these days in fear of offending their congregation. I have been listening to messages from David Wilkerson recently and he was more concerned for souls…Oh that we had more of that today..

  5. This is one of the most important messages i have seen presented to the church!!!

  6. Mario and Saints,

    Reading Mario’s words, I got this scripture,
    Then Jesus got into the boat and started across the lake with his disciples. Suddenly, a terrible storm came up, with waves breaking into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went to him and woke him up, shouting, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” And Jesus answered, “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then he stood up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly all was calm. The disciples just sat there in awe. “Who is this?” they asked themselves. “Even the wind and waves obey him!”Matthew 8:23-27(NLT)

    With Jesus Spirit in the Body of Christ boat with us, we will be safe from the wind & waves this spiritual storm brings 🙏 but this part really spoke to my spirit that the disciples did and said;
    ‘The disciples just sat there in “awe”and said, “Even the wind and waves obey him!” I say If and that’s a really BIG if, The “Fear” (reverence, awe and Godly respect) of God was restored to the mainstream compromised church, they might have a chance to get onboard.

  7. It is not that one is condemning Lauren D. I am not shocked, nor was I surprised. The Idea that one would say they really don’t know what is a sin when the word of God clearly tells us what is sin; falls on those who taught this singer the word of God and the industry which she works in and on her . many churches today have those who are practicing homosexuality running the” praise and worship” part of the service.

    many of the messages are about self and built off the humanistic approach of psychology. Ole Sigmund Freud, and types like him.

    “You have to learn to love yourself”

    you have to forgive yourself, self-heal, do for yourself, and love yourself, fix yourself etc.

    Why would you even need God? You can do everything yourself. But when things go wrong Don’t blame yourself

    it is mommy & daddy fault, it is the uncle or auntie, a friend of the family, and pride would have them even blame God, but not one’s self.

    When things are wrong you got to go back to your past and heal your inner self this is unbiblical, and idolatry. We are to deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow HIM. We are not to touch the plow and look back! Behold All things have passed away and I make all things NEW! we are to be NEW! Born-again, Saved, delivered, and have a life of Victory. We are, to tell the Truth, Jesus said in the Gospel of John to Pilot “the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” John 18:37 Niv

    Jesus said I am the way, the life , and the truth”. JOhn 14:6

    the Greek reads like this :
    I am the ONLY WAY , the Only Life, and the ONLY TRUTH!
    There is no other !!!! woe to those who cause these little ones to fall.

  8. The real issue is all have sinned and fallen short of God Glory That is why He came and died All sin is an abomination to God We know we need Jesus those who were born again. Perhaps if we don’t only Point out one sin or another. Every one who don’t have the Spirit of Christ are going to hell. Let’s focus on snatching them from the flames through God’s plan and passion to seek and save the lost. I love you Mario! I have sown many of Critical Mass. I believe in you and you Love and Passion for souls. God used you to ignite that passion in my heart We met at Faith Fellowship NJ in the 1980’s

    1. The truths we find in Gods word seem so harsh in today’s world of “tolerance”. I guess we have to be ready with the truth in one hand and love in the other. We are all sinners, God tells us so. We need to be ready for people to reject that truth and us as well, but to still be armed with love… it is quite a feat of balance, God give us the strength and will to achieve it!

  9. Do our problems control our praises or do our praises control our problems? Testing is coming. A refiners fire must come to burn away the dross, the wood, the hay, the stubble from our lives. Many within the body will experience great loss; even now it has begun.

    “The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, And the one who loves violence His soul hates.” Psalm 11:5

    “Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” James 1:12

  10. Sara,
    Please take time to read this to the end. What Mario is saying has been what I’ve been feeling and trying to fight off. The Lord is not going to release me from sleepless nights until I start getting even more serious about fasting and praying about protection of our family, church and nation. It’s going a deeper level and for whatever reason I’ve been trying to avoid it and act like everything is fine. Everyone thinks I’m half-crazy when I say anything negative about the future, but it’s time not to care what anyone says. This is why, I believe, the perfect cruise/vacation hasn’t come up. The Lord is preparing us like He tried to do with Israel. Pray in to this with the Lord and see what you get back. I feel a tad bit anxious, but willing, to go farther with Him, on my knees, starting today. I will share this will Dan tonight and if he is willing, we will make a covenant with the Lord about seeking Him earnestly about preparing us to stand in the gap for our family, city, nation. If he’s not, I will stand alone…no matter, it’s what God is calling me to do. Hold me accountable, if you will. Love you!!

  11. Mario, I listened to you many years ago, one sermon was at Berkley with a young man on the front row with green hair. You told him if he really wanted to be radical he should follow Jesus. I lost touch with you for many years and none but the Holy Spirit prompted me to look you up and since I’ve been blessed by your daily blog and have been sending it to all on my FB page. I’m surprised and yet not that no one comments on these warnings. I know we are told over and over to fear not, I choose to fear not and we have left 2 churches that have done things unacceptable to our belief’s. We need the daily food that your ministry provides, thank you so much for your obedience to God and the wisdom that He is giving you. May God Bless and protect you as you continue to tell the truth to all.

  12. Thank you for this as it’s just what was needed this very day! I am thanking God and sending this on to so many of my warrior friends in Minnesota.

  13. Thanks for great article Mario n calling out Daigle as liar by pretending to be clueless on what bible says on homosexuality. I believe this was a test from God and she failed big n whatever backlash she gets is consequence of disobeying gods word n is just penalty for not standing for Truth.. though I still see many Christians making excuses for her n I’m sure the gay community applauded n will buy her cds now.. don’t worry she’s not going away anytime soon.. but she’s got millions.. what’s worst thing that could’ve happened for saying homosexuality is sin.. they would ridicule shame her ok but at least she stood for jesus like we commanded too n we know we WILL be hated for that by the world. It’s impossible esp in this late hour to be loved by world n still please God ..we are to have nothing in common with worldly lusts n desires. Come out from among them n be ye separate not united!
    At worst no one would buy her cds( though impossible) but if so then she could walk with head held high like on CD cover knowing she stood for jesus n has his applause. Poor broke despised but guess what she wouldn’t die .. know how many mega churches or any church would take her in as worship leader n still make big bucks.. it’s wrong to say she is do famous that when you get to that level it’s wsy harder to stand for Truth.. what!!
    Allthemore if god promotes you use that platform to teach more folk with good news n stand for Truth st all cost notbshy away cuz it might cost you much..She made her choice then by choosing to side with world stay onnfence n not be hated n let down christians n God .
    she voluntarily went on secular shows.. on Ellen show n who wouldn’t think such a question might be asked even then. Heck the world n Ellen know she’s Christian n it’s not same interview as going on tbn.. she knew that before.
    So she knew fully where she was going n what that might entail but see going to Ellen is a great stage to increase her fame to turn down.. because the litmus test is this.. Daigle could have seen that secular stage from Ellen n Nati n others n salivated as an opportunity to shine jesus n stand for Truth in love to reach gays.. yet she saw it as opportunity to increase her fame clearly by not answering what she knew would sever ties n be hated by world.
    Daigle could’ve used her voice on Ellen n Nate to confront sin but lovevsinner. You don’t walk around telling gays in street they sinning but when opportunity arises.. you grab it..when you are asked your stance on something so big in society n you cowardly sit on fence.. you have not defended Christ n allowed Christians everywhere to now say same n just love people don’t judge their lifestyle of sin..yet love confronts love corrects n shines light to save their soul from hell. What she did was not true love for gays but love for her$elf, $elfper$ervstion n why as God as my witness I returned her look up child CD that I had bought for a cutter I met. No way will I give this comprised singer to unbeliever esp cuz I promise you this one comprise so big here n there’s more she’s comprised on..
    The persecution coming to the church will separate wheat from Yates.. the true remnant will stand for Truth for jesus ebennunyo desthnn certainly unto hatred from world. But to a generation so enthralled with world nnher pleasures it will be harder than ever to stand for jesus. The remnantbthst refuses to bow that cuts their idols will stand. You can’t concince me to buy another squat from Daigle.. I’m thinkin if a song in honour of her beloved gay buddies” another one bites the dust, n another one gone n another one gone n another one bites the dust!” Yeah Daigle got exposed now n so too with everyone else that we see standvwith world.. When you see they notvstsnding for Christ you shouldn’t stand for them anymore.. you gotta cut them out no matter how sweet n kind n mean that might be. How to u justify buying another CD of hers or concert ticket.. would David Wilkerson continue following her? Wouldbthe old saints Nope..
    cmon that’s why Christians got no backbone anymore we stand with mere man as corrupt as they get n not stand for jesus n what bible says.
    Daigle made it clear where she stands on this, will you close eye n shrug it off to , for love n false unity, or will you take a stand ..
    I have alerted churches years we needed to talk n stand for bible teach about abortion n homosexuality etc as so few doingnthis anymore n lgbtq agenda moving in hard to silence us n make us do as they say with curriculums n bowing to their evil ways.

    But honestly if churches never said a word n less will today for fear , that can’t be our excuse nor their fault nor is that reason for Daigle ..
    We all hit a bible n each responsible not a pastor we see one hour a week
    This rests solely on people n on parents for not training kids n teaching them to stand at all cost evennujto death.
    Persecution that’s coming will be way heavier than just being hated for sayin homosexuality is wrong. If we can’t stand for this no way will we stand for Truth when jail n life is threatened.
    What if there is no pastor as America persecuted knew gotta go underground or in own homes
    Who will teach us if nonpastor
    When we stand before god we will each give account
    I can’t blame my pastor who never taught me homosexuality was wrong abortion murder etc
    Yes churches should speak out but we ultimately responsible to stand whether we the only ones n be a voice for Truth. no other option. You cannot serve two masters.. choose ye today whom ye shall serve .. at all cost ..
    If Daigle truly repents n corrects her stance for real n not because her publicist says it’ll win the christians back but if truly she gets backbone n sees homosexuality as sin yet loves the sinner then I would listen to her music again .. but until then.. she’s gotta go from my iTunes n yes that’s harsh but I guarantee you that’s what consecration to Jesus requires us to do ..( have nothing to do). if you know this now of Daigle n still need her music you got idols.. honestly can u live without these Christian songs n make it in life, that’s litmus test too. Can you delete all songs from allnchristian singers n still worship jesus?
    We following the ways of the world to our own detriment
    Let’s pray for Daigle n other Christian singers n ourselves n our kids that we all may stand for Truth at all cost.. even as the days grow darker ..

  14. This is very serious stuff. What did Jesus say in Luke 9:26? He said, “If anyone is ashamed of Me AND MY WORDS, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.” (NIV 1978)

    I have friends who have gone to China and spoken with Christians in the underground church. I’ve been told by more than one person who has spoken with Christians in the underground church in China that they say they are praying for the Christians in America because if persecution ever comes to America, they don’t believe most Christians will be able to stand up under it. This incident here seems to prove them correct.

  15. Hell is coming to a sleeping, self-loving, Bible rejecting, unholy, deceived people who go to a building that they call church and seek pleasure through unholy worship and ear tickling sermons. But God is stirring up a few who have seen His glory and carry their cross, following Christ Jesus werever He sends them. Holiness, implicit obedience and a uncompromising love for God will carry them through every trial, persecutions and rejection. They’ll be armed with fire in one hand and the sword of God in the other. When they preach hell will tremble and the pharisees will curse them. PTL. Let it begin today.

  16. I am reading all the comments and thinking how is the God Father feeling right now? Is that the way Jesus would handle this situation with Lauren and what she did. Did anybody of you pray and intercede for her so she can repent? Or did anyone try to reach out to her and say something? Too many words especially all negativity and criticism is actually showing what’s in your heart and how much love do you carry for others, in this case Lauren Daigle. I am so disappointed. I pray that Lauren will have the 2nd chance to publicly repent and show that she will fight for her Jesus and her salvation and salvation of others. I just wonder how many of you have done the same or similar thing and you are still so fast to condem her. I bless you with His Love to speak the truth in love and so bring others back to Jesus.

  17. Is being homosexual a sin or is acting on it the sin? I have never heard of her and have no idea whether her friends are non-practicing homosexuals so maybe I am giving her too much credit, but I think there is a legitimate distinction that can be made there and it’s not just parsing words. One is part of the fallen eathly state common to all of us and the other is an act of sexual immorality.

    I can understand not wanting people walking around feeling unredeamable because of they are homosexual. It is always possible for God to totally deliver someone of urges upon repentance, but it is not the case that he necessarily does that.

    That would be my attempt at a defense.

  18. When I read the article on Facebook about Lauren I was shocked and read the article again and again. I said to myself I am not understanding her answer. I can really say I have not stopped thinking of her and I have been praying for her. She can be a great tool in the kingdom of God but she needs a mentor. Apparently I think it was her grandfather but he passed away. When you Minister in singing, preaching what ever ministry if we don’t pray daily or read God’s word, things like this can happen. Lauren needs people filled with the spirit to be praying for her. I think that’s why Billy Graham was so successful because he always had a team of people praying and surrounding him with prayers and wise counseling . Thanks, Mario for always being so honest and Bold in sharing God’s word or in your comments. First time I heard you was on TBN with Paul and Jan Crouch. Blessings.

  19. Pray for the Church, and pray for Lauren Daigle. She’s only 27 and can still find the courage to proclaim the truth. Most of us Christians have not been tested as she was in that interview. May God use this to make us all inspect our own hearts and be ready when we face the test.

  20. I have always sine my born again birth 1972 have been all about finding the narrow path. I figured if I am goin to do this thing I better do it right.It has been a tough road but interesting and having eyes to see trends fad teaching’s come and go.I learned in the late 1970’s there is a place in prayer that few people know about or even think they would want.Only if they knew how wonderful ti is to be in such a place with God you don’t even want to leave.But one has to work and make a living.I have seen through much of the lies over the years. Back in 09 a 3000 capacity strong building of the newer type doctrine prosperity was big with them. Word of faith movement and they even thought Obama was a Christian.I had to stand up on that one.Big name preacher’s would show up there and still do.Flying in on their own planes.You would thing even back then they would know better. hey were stone old deceived.I even got to meet this prophet David Wilkerson not at this place. At Trinity where his son Rich Wilkerson was or still is the head pastor and founder.I did not know what a big gun David was til recently.He was loosing his mental brain function memory health. Real nice and humble man of God at least that was my take on him.I am most awhere of this so called coming storm and falling away and as I like to tag it the Jesus lite doctrines the seeker friendlies. Or ourse I had and have my struggles in and out of a little level of personal deeptions.But the most part I will not drink the koolade. I respect the pastor of the place I attend. I do have some differences in doctrine. I don’t expect him to take my word for it.I do have some rather high profile encounters with God during worship where I feel like I going to explode. His presence is so wonderful the joy or laughter is not easy to hide and the tears as well. I do believe I have much to offer but he dose not recognize this. It’s just too bad for his flock. We see how the Lord moves in this regard.You can’t force a horse to drink water.Those who have a less filling Jesus lite walk will not have a great enough reality to stand in a strong enough storm lets face facts.I been tested and even seen my limits in my minds eye.You got to get more while you can. The 5 foolish virgins serve as the perfect example of whats the deal in this hour.

  21. I think our sister Lauren’s response is sadly indicative of a younger generation of believers who are not familiar enough with the scriptures and/ or haven’t been discipled and equipped enough to stand spiritually strong and erect in a major mountain of influence such as the music industry.

    Let’s pray for her that God would be merciful and provide spiritual mentors that will be able to teach and instruct her in gentleness and meekness rather than condemn and criticize her. Not only Lauren, but there are many many young people in the earth today who are tremendously gifted and anointed in music. They need fathering in the spirit.

    Otherwise, the church may become the very thing that pushes her farther away. Let’s pray for Ellen too. Jesus died for homosexuals the same way he died for liers, drunkards, fornicators, thieves and the like. I was once one of them and such were some of us. ❤

  22. Several years ago it occurred to me that if sin isn’t the problem, then Christ isn’t the solution.
    However, Christ is the solution, ergo sin is the problem. What is crucial for us to see is that neither Christ nor Sin are impersonal forces in the world. Rather they are personal in the sense that they originate in a person (Christ or Satan), and they are directed at persons.
    This means that in order to be effective in the battle we in the western church first need to stop seeing the Church as an organization that is to be operated according to the top down management structure which was created by the demonic world system. Instead the Church needs to operate cooperatively as the organic Body of Christ in union with each other and Christ and solely under the direction of Christ as the head.
    In other words what is needed above all is a revelation of Christ.

  23. Thank you for sharing. I spend many hours praying for situations and people caught up in tough trials. I see the coming storm approaching and feel the weight to pray earnestly for specifically about how we Christians pray for one another. These shared comments have helped me to know how to more specific. I have been a follower of David Wilkerson for many years. I love Billy Graham and now Franklin and Anne Lotz . I pray for them and the posts they share. I feel the battles to be won are on our knees. America has God’s hands upon her. She is being used to show the world a better way. God has chosen Donald Trump to carry out his plans. God is moving to rid the evil that has ruled this world. He is ready to purge this evil very soon. The plans are in motion and cannot be stopped. That is why we are called to pray about everything. Chains need to be broken and people set free. Revival is coming. I’m encouraged. I feel I was born for a time as this. To pray God’s will to be done. The Holy Spirit is on the move. I see the churches need to rise up to take its place, to preach the Word of God and usher in those that are lost in sin. My heart is heavy for prayer for others. It’s a call to action! I praise God that he’s ready to move those mountains and show the world his mighty hand. He is saying enough is enough. Get ready. He has called us each to do our part.

  24. A good word from God, but there is much more to come.
    God showed me, in His word, a vision of the current church.

    Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. (1Kin 12:28)

    The current religious system has done the same. They set up a false worship system that resembled the truth, but with easy to accept doctrines that did not include holiness nor worshiping God as He commanded.

    These men, and many others have been prophets to the church, just as God sent many to israel.
    God’s patience only lasted so long. The end of israel was total destruction and captivity to babylon.

    Now, what is the religion of babylon? Islam. It is coming to take away the false system of worship.
    It is God’s doing. It is a tool of God.

    The revival that is coming will begin with the most obvious and spectacular covenant that God has made with mankind.

    For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. (Phil 3:3)

    But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. (Rom 2:29)

    Many verses speak of the needed circumcision of those who claim to be God’s people.
    The flesh must be cut away.

    In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: (Col 2:11)

    Those who will do this are the remnant spoken of by these prophets and the Word of God.

    Circumcision is painful for an adult. But those who choose their family, friends or their own life over Jesus will miss out on the promise.

    He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. (Mat 10:37-39)

    1. Excellent comment!!!
      I just taught on Joshua 5 and the need for a new generation to circumcise their hearts before we cross over into the land of Promise!

  25. I’m not familiar with who Lauren is. I’m not into celebrities. I just now googled her name and her face is familiar. She is not the only Christian celebrity who condones homosexuality, unfortunately. They mean well when they waffle/compromise on that question. I believe they think they are avoiding hurting anyone’s feelings. Also, they most likely have no desire to be torn to bits by the lions, and they will be, if they tell the truth. Not many are willing to count the cost. I’m not trying to be critical. Being in the public eye and knowing every word you utter will be dissected and rehashed by a Christian-hating media and world, and could render you jobless and friendless before they are done with you, cannot be easy. Still, it boils down to- Jesus gave it all. He counted the cost for us. How can we give Him any less? On the subject of holiness in the Body of Christ, to say we need to be taken to the Divine Woodshed would be an understatement. Daily, I am shocked by the things that Christians post on facebook, the language they use, the programs/movies they watch, the things they condone. How did we become so watered down, so in love with the world? The Chinese Church that someone mentioned is so right. When persecution comes here, this lukewarm Church is going to have a real tough time. We’ve been told every Sunday and most weekdays that we are to be blessed, blessed, and blessed again. We are not being prepared for what’s coming. Only the Mercy of God has held back the tide so far, but Pastor Mario is right-the storm is coming. The only question is, are we going to survive and thrive because we are walking so closely with Him that we recognize deception, or are we going to go down with the world? So many who call themselves Christians will mock this word by Pastor Mario. Some have referred to all the men he mentioned above as false teachers, just as they call other prophetic people who have warned of the coming storm. They simply refuse to believe that God could be losing patience with us.

  26. This is good!! Father thank You for Your warnings; I CHOOSE to listen AND OBEY You; I CHOOSE life, the life that ONLY comes through Jesus – through accepting Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior!! I WILL NOT compromise with the world; I WILL speak Your Word!!

  27. Amen. In spite of the storm that’s coming the Holy Spirit will be poured out in the last days and the urgency to do God’s. will is upon us. Get ready. Jesus is coming. One must get their house in order and let your light shine. The joy of the Lord is your strength. Today is the day of salvation.

Family and Friends at Fern Cottage

Today we are looking at a group standing outside at the back of Fern Cottage. Fern Cottage is on High Street in Market Lavington, between the Workmans Hall and the former chapel. (We have been informed this is actually the cottage NEXT to Fern Cottage)

Bill Pearce, family and friends next to Fern Cottage, Market Lavington

On the left we have Bill Pearce

The lady second from left and behind Bill’s shoulder has not yet been identified. Can anybody out there help?

The lady next to Bill and third from left is Rose Crouch. This photo has been given to the museum following a blog entry about World War 1 first aid materials.(click here) although we have also seen Rose before in a churchyard clean up party (click here). That picture dated from 1963. We think this one may have been taken in the 1950s.

Behind Rose’s shoulder is her husband, Bill Crouch.

The older lady at the front is Emily Pomeroy. She had previously been Mrs Emily Hobbs and was caretaker at the Workman’s Hall.

Behind Emily is Jean Pearce.

At the right hand end is Beavey Pomeroy. He was born in Devon and came via Bath to Lavington as baker at the Co-operative Stores.

Synopsis for "The Black Vortex: Chapter One"

Twelve billions years ago, on the planet Viscardi, the indigenous Viscardi launch their ninth rocket to explore the stars, only for it to explode just before it passes the head of the resident Celestial, nicknamed Godhead. A lonely Viscardi, Gara, laments her people's lack of progress after advancing from caves quickly in four generations. She calls out to the silent Celestial, demanding the acknowledgement he hadn't given her people since the beginning. The Celestial responds and conjures up a mirror, the Black Vortex, in which Gara sees a reflection of herself empowered by the cosmos.

In the present, at the Jean Grey School, Storm scolds Beast for bringing the original X-Men from the past. Beast attempts to explain the complexities of the space-time continuum, when the All-New X-Men, Magik and X-23 teleport in to announce they're all going into space to find Kitty Pryde. Before the two teachers can ask questions, Magik quickly teleports all of them.

On the Guardians of the Galaxy ship, Star-Lord interrupts game night to tell them of how he and Kitty infiltrated Mister Knife's Flying Fortress (though he omits that they snuck in through the laundry and bound and stripped the two Skrulls workers attending to the laundry). Using Kitty's phasing powers, they manage to get into Knife's sanctum, where he was in the midst of negotiations with Thane and showing off the Black Vortex. Though Thane isn't impressed by the object, Knife demonstrates its powers by having the last living Blood Brother submit to the Black Vortex, granting him cosmic powers. He then adds Brother Blood to the newly re-christened Slaughter Lords. He makes an appealing offer to Thane, promising protection for both him and his followers and the power to defeat Thanos in exchange for one job. But just as Thane accepts his offer, Star-Lord and Kitty steal the Black Vortex. Knife howls in rage before Misa announces that she knows where to find them.

Star-Lord gathers everyone, both Guardians and X-Men, to show them the Black Vortex and howlers to get their attention once pleasantries are exchanged. Just as Beast begins his analysis, Ma Savage interrupts him, demanding that Star-Lord remove his friends from her front yard. After exchanging more pleasantries, Kitty gets Beast back on track. He remarks from what they described, either the Vortex is a parlor trick or it could destroy galaxies and suggests hiding it. Rocket interrupts him, boasting that he wants to see himself with huge bulging muscles. As Beast pontificates on the pros and cons of using the Vortex, Storm catches an orphan staring into the Vortex and attempts to move him away, only to see her reflection of her cosmic-enhanced self.

One year after the advent of the Black Vortex, all of the Viscardi submit to the Black Vortex and end up destroying each other. Gara slays the last survivor, Adron, who, with his dying breath, urges her to destroy the Black Vortex. After snuffing the life out of her compatriot, she turns to Godhead and shouts at the Celestial, demanding to know if the destruction of her race was what he wanted. The Celestial then takes off to the stars, leaving Gara screaming in anguish while the Vortex is buried.

In the present, Gamora volunteers to try out the Vortex, but Storm is vehemently opposed to the idea, declaring they must destroy it. Unfortunately, the Slaughter Lords appear to reclaim the artifact. A fight breaks out between good and evil. In the midst of the fighting, Storm notices the Vortex is gone and Star-Lord adds so is Gamora. As Lydia checks in on him, he orders her to send an SOS. Czar Doon gets a hold of the Vortex, only to be impaled by Gamora, who received cosmic powers from the Vortex.

Solicit Synopsis

• The Black Vortex, an ancient artifact imbued with immeasurable power, is now in the hands of Mr. Knife!

• With billions of lives potentially at stake, Peter Quill, the Legendary Star-Lord, is going to have to dust off his thieving gloves.

• But with Knife’s Slaughter Squad protecting him, Peter’s probably going to need some help…

Happy Birthday, Email Attachment!

40 years ago, June 1, 1980, the email attachment was launched.

Email had existed since the 1960s on disconnected computers. Ray Tomlinson made it far more useful in 1972, using the @ sign to connect researchers across the country over the ARPANET, the forerunner to todays Internet. All these emails messages were flat files, sending only text typed by the sender.

A few daring people inserted text files into their email messages, which could be saved by the recipient using a text editor to remove the rest of the email message. Binary files had to be written to magnetic tapes, or copied with FTP, the File Transfer Protocol that required the username and password of the recipient.

The UNIX system from Bell Labs didn’t have the ARPANET, so it used a low tech system over dial-up phone lines. Text and binary files could be copied to another UNIX with the UUCP (UNIX-to-UNIX CoPy) command, and text email messages piggybacked on UUCP to hop across the country over dial-up lines. Email messages could multi-hop from system to system to system if the sender specified a path, but files only copied over a direct link.

In 1980, Berkeley graduate student Mary Ann Horton needed a copy of another researcher’s program from Cornell. The program was made up of many text and binary files, so it could not be easily inserted into a plain text email message. It was inconvenient to send a magtape by postal mail, and a direct connection was not allowed; long distance telephone calls were expensive, and the universities said they could not afford them. Horton was a computer scientist, so a software solution was called for.

Horton solved the problem by writing a program called uuencode. It would encode a binary file into a slightly larger text file, which could be inserted directly into an email. The recipient would send the email message to complementary program, uudecode, which would extract the original binary file and save it to disk.

Thinking this pair of programs might be useful to others, she added them to the Berkeley Software Distribution. She went on with her research, not realizing she had invented the email attachment. Berkeley UNIX went on to become the most popular version of the UNIX system. Hundreds of universities, research companies, and military installations adopted it, and uuencoding of files became a de facto standard.

Five years later, the IBM PC had made desktop computing a realistic option for businesses. Concentric Systems developed a PC email system called cc:Mail. Their program used a graphical user interface, and allowed users to “attach” an office document file by clicking on a paper clip icon, mimicking the paper mail concept of attaching a document to a letter with a metal paper clip. When cc:Mail added “gateways” to exchange email over the fledgling Internet, they adopted the widely used uuencode format. Microsoft soon followed with their own MS Mail, also formatting them with uuencode.

In 1992, Bellcore developer Nat Borenstein took email attachments to the next level. He and collaborator Ned Freed developed a more powerful format. His Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, MIME, allowed email messages to be formatted with fonts, hyperlinks, sound, and pictures. His first MIME email message featured a photo of his barbershop quartet, along with audio of them performing “Let me Sing you Email”. MIME was a big hit, and quickly became a new standard for email attachments. Modern email messages continue to use the MIME format.

A 2017 news release proclaimed the 25th anniversary of the e-mail attachment, citing MIME. Old timers like Horton knew that attachments had been around since 1980.

Happy Birthday, Email Attachment!

I am interested in a reference for (or counterexample to) a particular $C^0$ estimate for solutions of the Laplace equation with Neumann boundary conditions. More precisely, let $(M,g)$ be a $C^\infty$ compact Riemannian manifold with non-empty smooth boundary $\partial M$. Let $\Delta_g=-div_g\nabla$ denote the Laplace operator and $\nu$ the outward pointing unit normal on $\partial M$.

Consider (strong) solutions $u$ to the following system \begin{cases} \Delta_gu=f&\text{ in }M\\ \partial_\nu u=h&\text{ on }\partial M \end{cases} where $f\in C^\infty(M)$ and $h\in C^\infty(\partial M)$ satisfy $\int_M fdvol_g=\int_{\partial M}hd\sigma_g$ (the smoothness condition is for simplicity but the later condition is necessary for the problem to be well-posed). Here $dvol_g$ denotes the Riemannian volume form and $d\sigma_g$ denotes its pullback under the inclusion $\partial M\to M$. To specify $u$ uniquely, let us also suppose that it has zero average value i.e. $\int_Mudvol_g=0$. My question is this: does there exist $C>0$, independent of $f$ and $h$, such that $\sup_M|u|\leq C(\sup_M|f|+\sup_{\partial M}|h|)$?

Most classical sources (Evans, Gilbarg+Trudinger, and Aubin) either only consider Dirichlet conditions (in which case the analogous estimate is essentially just the maximum principle) or only provide Schauder estimates for the Neumann problem -- this is not quite what I want.

Does anyone know of a resource for this kind of estimate or of a counterexample?

  • $\begingroup$ It might be easier to study a first order system for a vector field: Set $w=\nabla u$. Then the system becomes $-\text{div}(w)=f$ in $M$ and $\nu\cdot w=h$ on $\partial M$. Since $u$ must have a zero somewhere (assuming connectedness), $\sup_M|u|\leq\text{diam}(M)\sup_M|w|$, so it suffices to estimate $w$ uniformly. $\endgroup$ – Joonas Ilmavirta Sep 23 '14 at 19:42
  • 3
    $\begingroup$ If f and h are bounded, they are in every $L^p$. You can then get what you want by using $L^p$ estimates and Sobolev embedding. $\endgroup$ – Michael Renardy Sep 24 '14 at 0:07
  • $\begingroup$ they are both smooth and the domain is compact, so they are certainly bounded. $\endgroup$ – Matthias Ludewig Sep 27 '14 at 18:40

Yes, I think the estimate you propose is true. As a simple case take $f = 0$ and $M = B_1 \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. By adding a constant assume that $\inf_{B_1} u = 0$ and $\sup_{B_1}u = K,$ and note that these extrema are on the boundary. Note that $u(0)$ is closer to $0$ or $K$, say $u(0) > K/2$ without loss of generality. Then by the Harnack inequality we have $u > cK$ in $B_{1/2}$, so the function $$c(n)K(|x|^{2-n} - 1)$$ is a lower barrier in the annulus $B_1-B_{1/2}$. In particular, at the point where $u$ takes its minimum we have $|h| > c(n)K$ which gives the estimate.

In a more general domain we can argue similarly; take an interior ball touching the point on the boundary where $u = 0$ and argue that $u$ is no larger than $C\sup|h|$ at its center, and similarly take a ball touching the point where $u = K$ and argue that $u$ is larger than $K - C\sup|h|$ at its center. If $K$ is much larger than $\sup|h|$ we contradict the Harnack inequality (with a constant depending on the geometry of $M$).

Finally, if $f$ is nonzero similar arguments should work since we still have the Harnack inequality (now depending on $\sup|f|$) and for a barrier we can take $|x|^{-\alpha}$ for $\alpha$ large depending on $\sup|f|$.

If You Could Only Keep Ten Players on the Eagles, Who Would You Choose?

Valuable is an ambiguous term especially in the world of sports. Value is seen as something NFL teams look for but its hard to completely pin down considering awards like the NBA MVP are given to players purely based on statistics and not actual, definitive value.(I’ve said the word value way too much already)

With the spirit of value in mind(damn it), lets look at the uber talented Philadelphia Eagles and see what ten players we should keep if the league were to do a complete re-draft.

Carson Wentz QB

Was this even a question? “The Second Coming” Carson Wentz, the main who has singlehandedly rebuilt the reputation for gingers and FCS quarterbacks should be number one priority on this list. Although there have been some previous injury issues, the franchise has shown through their actions that they believe Carson is “the guy”. It’s hard to argue after sporting two back to back years with a QBR of 101.9 and 102.2, respectively. Also considering that quarterback is the most important position in football, it is a simply a no brainer to choose Wentz.

Lane Johnson OT

A 6 foot 6, 310 pound beast with nimble feet and great hands. After a scandal involving steroids earlier in his career, Lane has established himself as one of the best tackles in the NFL and is a vital piece of the protection of Carson Wentz. This 1st team All-Pro should have another spectacular season this upcoming season and should prove himself even more valuable for the Eagles. The second most important position in football is people who can protect the quarterback so we have to lock up Lane Johnson.

Fletcher Cox DT

Arguably the best interior lineman in the league besides Aaron Donald, Fletch has been wreaking havoc on quarterbacks since 2012. His 10.5 sacks last year led the Eagles and ranked top 20 in the NFL. As an anchor of the defense, his ability to apply pressure and get to the QB is extremely valuable in a modern pass first league.

Zach Ertz TE

The second best athlete in his family, Zach Ertz’s impact has been felt since he was drafted in 2013. The Eagles’ “safety valve”, evident in his 116 receptions last season, is a no-brainer to keep on this roster. He had over 1,000 yards receiving and eight TD’s, making him one of the most lethal tight ends and just overall receivers in the NFL. Carson’s favorite target has to remain part of the team.

Brandon Graham DE

Even though BG had a “down” year last season totaling only four sacks, he is another key part of the Eagles potent pass rush. The third most important position in football, in my opinion, is an edge rusher that can get to the quarterback, which is basically the definition of Brandon Graham.

Malcolm Jenkins S

The leader of the defense and an absolute punisher on the field, Malcolm Jenkins has been laying hits since he was traded to the Eagles from the New Orleans Saints in 2014. He may not be the flashiest player but this three time pro bowler compensates with his strong, veteran presence in the Eagles locker room.

Jason Kelce C

Although Kelce may be undersized for his position, he is undoubtedly one of the most athletic offensive linemen in the NFL which is evident in his ability to go out wide and block for running backs down the sideline. This two time pro bowler and two time 1st team All-Pro has established himself as probably the best center in the league.

Rasul Douglas CB

Rasul Douglas may not be one of the best overall players on the squad but cornerback is one of the more vital positions in football so picking him is a must. Over the past season he was by far the most consistent defender and tackler in the Eagles secondary, which was a particularly weak unit. Douglas may not be everyone’s number one option for a cornerback, but considering he’s the most reliable player right now, he has to be added to this list.

Alshon Jeffery WR

The leading receiver for the Birds and one of the team’s leaders/ most beloved players has to be on our list. Alshon is a big bodied receiver that can basically catch any pass that’s thrown to him(except against the Saints). In a pass first league, you need a guy like him who can lead by example on and off the field.

Brandon Brooks OG

Offensive line. Offensive line. Offensive line. The Eagles have one of, if not the best offensive line in the league and Brandon Brooks is another key member of that unit. Brooks had a very impactful year last year and only allowed one sack making him one of the most stout guards in the league.

Public domain

In the recent U.S. presidential election many people were unable to vote. Unlike most countries, many felons in the United States are stripped of their right to vote. An estimated 6.1 million people are currently banned from voting due to their criminal history–people who otherwise would be allowed to express their voice and participate in the political process.

While the sheer number of people who are not allowed to vote is astonishing, even more disconcerting is who these people are. Disenfranchised voters are not spread evenly across the United States. Many states do restore voting rights to people after their sentences or parole is completed. However, 12 states ban people convicted of felonies from ever voting again.

The ban has shocking racial disparities that reflect broader trends in the criminal justice system, which has disproportionately locked up African-Americans. One in every 13 African-Americans of voting age has lost the right to vote. In four states–Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia- more than one in five African-Americans are thus disenfranchised. (To learn more about racism and the criminal justice system, check out The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander and the documentary “13th.”)

People returning from prison face a host of challenges when they attempt to rejoin society. They face discrimination and limitations regarding employment, housing and public assistance. In addition to those challenges, the loss of voting rights leads to second-class citizenship and sows division between people.

This is the exact opposite of what Ephesians 2:14 calls us to as Christians: “For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility” (NIV). We cannot truly love one another if we place harmful restrictions on particular members of our society.

The loss of voting rights eliminates much of the political power of people with felony convictions and erodes the overall power in lower-income and African-American communities since these groups are most affected by felony disenfranchisement. In addition, all but two states (Maine and Vermont) prevent people from voting while in prison.

Despite this, incarcerated populations are included in the census for determining state and congressional districts. This means that voters in communities with significant prison populations have disproportionate political power and allows politicians to engage in legal gerrymandering at the expense of incarcerated people.

James admonishes followers of Christ to reject favoritism (James 2:1-4) and reminds us that God has chosen “those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him” (2:5). Too often our society is quick to judge people with criminal records and dismisses proposals to make them fully equal citizens again.

We should remember the love that Christ calls us to share and look for ways to extend this love through more just policies. Restoring voting rights to people with felony convictions is a clear and concrete way to do this.

I was reminded recently how good this salad dresssing is - it's in my cookbook and a healthy alternative to today's packaged dressings.

Creamy Avocado Dressing

A wonderfully creamy and light dressing!

Makes 3-4 cups

·        1 can (14 ounce) Thai Kitchen coconut milk

·        3 ripe avocados

·        juice from ½ fresh squeezed lime

·        1 cup chopped fresh cilantro

·        4 cloves fresh garlic, minced

·        dash cayenne pepper

·        2 tablespoons roasted pepitas, ground

Place coconut milk in a food processor.  Scoop out all of the flesh from the avocadoes and add to the coconut milk.  Squeeze the juice from the lemon into the coconut milk and avocado mixture.  Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy.  Transfer dressing to a jar and refrigerate.  Keeps for 3-4 days.  If dressing thickens too much, thin it out by adding small amounts of water until the desired consistency is reached.

Citation for the award of the 2002 Sir William Upjohn Medal

Richard Larkins graduated MBBS from the University of Melbourne and trained in diabetes and endocrinology at The Royal Melbourne Hospital becoming assistant endocrinologist in 1970. During this period, he carried out research in obesity and after his fourth paper was published in Nature in 1972, was awarded the MD by the University of Melbourne. He spent two years in the UK on Churchill and MRC Fellowships where he worked at Hammersmith Hospital and was awarded a PhD by the University of London before returning to Melbourne in 1974.

He served the University of Melbourne as James Stewart Chair of Medicine at the Royal Melbourne Hospital from 1984 to 1997, as Deputy Dean from 1996, then as Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences from 1998 to 2003 when he was appointed Vice-Chancellor of Monash University. As Dean he led the smooth transition of the medical course from a curriculum in which departments held responsibility for teaching subjects, to an integrated pre-clinical/clinical curriculum with particular emphasis on problem-based learning. He carefully nurtured the internationalisation of the student cohort and successfully negotiated arrangements for entire cohorts of undergraduates to undertake a research training year with university departments and affiliated research institutes and hospitals.

He chaired the National Health and Medical Research Council from 1997 to 2000 at a time of profound change and growth; his leadership contributing to greatly improved funding for health and medical research. He also served as a member of the Prime Minister's Science, Engineering and Innovation Council, as President of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, as a member of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Council and as Chair of Universities Australia.
