Rapture Theology

I must admit, I enjoy a good theological debate. However, I find most Christians would rather endure the pillory or the rack than engage in a good Biblical discussion. I believe people fall into several categories concerning this issue:

1. There are those that think it's a waste of time and divisive.
2. There are those that feel they are uninformed and have nothing to add.
3. There are those couldn't care less.

No Biblical debates please!

That being said, I will push forward anyway.

About a week ago I put up a Twitter poll where I asked people the following: "Do you believe in any form of Rapture theology?" I had 133 kind souls chime in and the results were as follows:

74% voted Yes, they believe in Rapture theology
21% voted No
5% voted that they thought this was song sung by Blondie. (God bless them!)

So as you can plainly see, a vast majority of the people polled believe in some sort of rapture doctrine. Now for full disclosure, I do not believe in the Rapture. Now at this point you may be tempted to pelt me with rocks and verbal rebukes...but please hear me out!

My first contention, which I will deal with in this post, involves the Rapture theology not being taught in the first 1800 years of church history. It wasn't until 1830 that John Darby formulated this theory. In his own words he said: "it literally jumped out of the pages of the Bible." And while this is all fine and good, we must ask: "is it really possible that all of the church fathers up until 1830 missed this little gem?"

Church fathers like: Augustine, Athanasius, Ireneaus, Basil, Tertullian, Origen,Cyril, John Chrysotom, Justin Martyr, Jerome, or Hilary.

Is it also possible that the theologians of the middle ages: Aquinas, Anselm, Abelard, Calvin, Luther, and Zwingli missed it too?

Lastly, is it possible that more modern theologians like Barth, Bonhoeffer, Bulgmann, Moltmann, Tillich, and N.T Wright missed it also?

Now it's your turn...

Creeping Lies of the Enemy

Ugh. Ok friends I can’t post out of nowhere without mentioning that we haven’t posted much in the last year(s).  I promise you, at any given time I have at least 5 blog posts floating around my head, waiting to get out.  I am just undisciplined.  I promise by summer, I’ll have at least 5 more for you (if we have any readers left).

For the past 6-8 months I’ve been experiencing a comforting renewal and regeneration in my faith life.  After a couple years of beating myself up about not being where I used to be, I finally let go of the times I was stronger and just accepted the now. No easy feat for someone who continuously wants to be better and do better in everything.  But I am not in a competition with myself, and no matter the crisis or tragedy that I previously overcame through Jesus, comparing myself to myself was getting me nowhere.  After a long dry season of feeling like God wasn’t speaking to me and wondering why I was more often a hot mess crying on my bathroom floor than pouring over my Bible and breathing in the truth of Jesus, somehow I let go.  Through deepened and almost constant prayer and stepping back my from my intense focus on my desire for children and subsequent pain of those unmet desires while opening myself up to the pain and needs of others,  I could finally hear God again.

So as I was basking in my resurgence of faith I was surprised to find myself hit with lies from the enemy.  Lies that sound so true, it’s tempting to believe them. I was very tempted to return to my former place of wallowing- usually on the bathroom floor, because I thought Mark couldn’t hear my sobs and would just assume I was struggling with tummy problems and not pressing my face into a towel attempting to both muffle my sobs and drown out the pain.  Sobbing isn’t wrong, friends, but moving in and making camp in a place of wallowing to the point that Jesus seems like a distant stranger is.  I was beginning to believe that I had left such moments behind.  Until that Sunday.

“Lord, teach us to pray.” – Luke 11:1.

Prayer was an important part of Jesus' life and ministry. Jesus knew, and wants us to know, that prayer is mightier than the sword, and has the ability to slay the enemies of the soul.

Prayer is brighter than the rays of the sun, revealing the hidden depths of the human spirit.

Prayer is quicker and stronger than eagles’ wings, bearing us up from the confines of the earth and transporting us to the throne room of God.

Prayer is a greater power in the transformation of the world than all legislation and military might.

The center of its power is in the heart which utters it; the radius of its influence is as infinite as the mind of the Living God. It is the cool breath that comes to ease the fevered brow. It is the Holy lever of Archimedes to move the world!

How is your prayer life my friend?

Also, let us know if we can help or pray for you!

Prayer: A Mystery Unfolds

We lead a prayer ministry at our church.  So I feel like I think about prayer fairly often.  But this week the morning show I listen to (The Walley Show) was talking about prayer, specifically about when prayers are unanswered or answered in a way that we weren’t really hoping for or expecting.  They had many examples of how these unanswered prayers lead to bigger things that they just couldn’t see.  Which I agree happens often, but not always.  Recently I’ve also watched a relatively new believer blossom into a beautiful example of Christian boldness emboldened by the Holy Spirit. We also have come to realize that many struggle to attend our prayer gathering because of a fear of praying a loud, or a fear of praying wrong. I’ve watched Christians grapple with this concept of corporate prayer and have been moved and touched by the words that they themselves feel fall short. So I’ve been thinking a lot more about prayer this week.

Prayer is indeed mysterious.  To me, prayer has always seemed simple on so many levels. I grew up Catholic and my youthful prayers were either repetitive rote memorization or easy flowing conversations (many times one sided conversations) with God.  It was a lot of asking, a little thinking, and many times it felt desperate.  As I’ve grown as a Christian, delved deeper into the Word, and walked through spiritual battles, my concept of prayer has definitely evolved. It is far from simple.  But in many ways, it is still very mysterious- and there are many things I don’t understand.

Dear Christian, You can't Win.

Don't argue with fools.
There is an old gambling saying: “You can’t lose what you don’t put in the middle”. However, what I’m witnessing on social media and news websites is: we have way too many Christians “going all in”! What I mean by that is we are wasting precious time arguing with people whose only motivation is to attack Christianity (and Christians) directly and by proxy. This is clearly evident when you witness non-believers and spiritual reprobates suddenly quoting Bible scriptures and proselyting like a possessed carnival barker. While their positions have the veneer of pure kindness and altruism, there is something inherently rotten at the core: the hatred of God. Yes, I said it because it is true…they hate everything Christianity stands for; they hate you! Now they would never have the guts to come right out and say it, but they do.

Sunday, January 29, 2017

I was reading Psalms 78 today and I was in absolute wonder of what an awesome God we serve! Unregenerate man cannot fully understand the wonder and power of God. Proverbs 1:7 states, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge…” Psalms 111:10 also states, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; prudent are all who live by it. Your praise endures forever.”

Without being born again and without the Holy Spirit, man is incapable of truly understanding the hidden things of God. Our God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow…for God never changes! This is the same God that split the Red Sea piling up the waters rigid as walls. This is the same God that spread a table in the desert and rained manna and meat upon the people like dust!

We must worship God in spirit and truth. God is able to take worship out of the hands of men and put it in the hands of the Holy Spirit. It is impossible to truly worship God without the impartation of the Holy Spirit. It is the operation of the Spirit of God within us that enables us to worship God acceptably through the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the physical manifestation of God. So worship originates with God and comes back to us and is reflected from us, as a mirror. This is the only worship that is pleasing to God.

Have you recently studied, and/or experienced anything that brought you into the awe-inspiring presence of God?

Spiritual Soap

Always remember: "there is no heaven with a little corner of hell in it." It is God's desire that we be pure, holy, and right; HE will not allow us escape for one minute the scrutiny of the Holy Spirit. When we sin, the Holy Spirit convicts us and urges us to repent and become clean again. Now if we cast off this conviction and chose to remain in our own filth, the inevitable process begins to work and we end up in our own spiritual prison. It is during these times when it feels like God is a million miles away! It is during these times we may ask "Does God really love and care about me?"

Seen from God's side, it is a glorious ministry of love. For God is going to bring us out pure, spotless, and undefiled. The Lord loves us so much that HE will tax the limits of the universe in order to help us take the right road...And the moment we realize that the Holy Spirit is convicting us and our current disposition...the sooner our position with God will be drastically improved.

Do you ever wonder why there are times when God does not feel close? Maybe it is time for some spiritual soap?

Are there times when God seems like HE is far away?
What do you do in those times?

"Piss off! I've got this." Putting the DIS in Disciple.

Don't worry. I got this. I don't need your help.
Have you ever felt like someone you cared about was hanging from a cliff, their hands loosing grip, and the fatal fall awaited them? Have you felt like you’ve thrown them a rope and they refused to take it, saying they can climb up themselves and that they enjoy the challenge? Have you ever watched them try to climb up this cliff time and time and time again on their own just to fail? You’ve sent them a rescue helicopter but they said they aren’t ready, they want to continue doing it their way. They say their climb is private they didn’t want to share it with a rescue crew. They said they like the climb and they don’t want to have to follow rescue protocol. Thanks for the offer, they see where you are coming from, but they’d just continue hanging and flailing because they aren’t so sure about this rescuer. After all they haven’t reached rock bottom. Yet.

I have felt that way. I feel that way.

And it is incredibly frustrating. I want to scream. I want to shake the stubborn ignorance out of people. I want to throw in the towel and I want to give up. I don’t really care about this person’s life, this person’s soul.

Because if you haven’t figured it out yet. The rescue I have presented is rescue via Jesus. And I do care about this person. Because Christ compels me to care about them. My flesh is not liking this discipleship thing. Because it takes so much time, energy, emotion, strength and resources and there are no tangible results. Can you disciple someone who doesn’t really want to be discipled anyway? Maybe I should call it something else.
Sometimes rescue is scary.
Spiritual roadblocks? .....No that doesn’t work.

Banging my head against a holy wall? .....Definitely what it feels like but not quite right either.

Evangelism/preaching? .....Closer, but not quite there.

Obedience. There it is, I think that’s the one.

I am obeying God’s call. I am doing what He told me to. And sometimes it really sucks. I have been called to love and guide, mentor/disciple, admonish, teach etc etc etc. I know I have been called to do this on a personal level for this season of my life. I know it is preparing me for something more. But I tend to forget who is really in control. I am planting a seed. I am obeying. I must trust my Lord to make the seed grow. I don’t know what the hell I’m doing, but God does. So someone please remind to stop expecting my own outcomes and wait for God’s.

But still it is perplexing when it seems that there are people out there who want to fail. Who refuse to grow. Who refuse to be rescued. Who choose failure. Whether it’s a believer refusing to go deeper or an unbeliever knowing the Truth and refusing Jesus anyway. We have all met those people, who seem content to keep repeating the same mistakes over and over, living the same stagnant life and dwelling in the status quo of their own muck. But why? I have poured truth and light into someone and all I see in return is rebellion and a return to old ways. I have given Godly advice on how to seek Christ and better a life, just to see it thrown aside as an unwelcome perspective. I have presented the irresistible Gospel of Christ to those whose hearts have been pierced, when they are broken and their options are scarce. When rock bottom is all they know and they need a Savior. And they still resist.

Why do they resist? When they have all the info, when they know (and they really do know) that Jesus Christ can change their life. When taking godly advice can save them from future pain and heartache why do they keep resisting when they know Jesus is the ONLY WAY?

I’ll tell you why. People are lazy. They are selfish and they are scared. And they hate change. People can be residing in a swamp filled with fetid smelling goop. They can be up to their chins in their own excrement with the flies nibbling at their eyelids and if offered a way out they would stay. Because they are comfortable. They are afraid of washing off the shit, swatting the flies away and moving on to a new stage. Because they’ve grown accustomed to the smell of feces and they kind of like it. As crappy as life may be, more often then not, people are unwilling to risk that change could actually be crappier.

He really does.
Oswald Chambers said that when people were around Jesus they were constantly convicted of the sin in their lives, but they were also convicted of the fact that a life with Christ meant that they could be like Him. And yet in His earthly life and now people constantly reject Him. The ignorant are still crucifying Him because they are afraid of what He has to offer. They know that their lives can be redeemed but they also know that their lives will never be the same and that scares the piss out of them. They might dabble to see if they can get a residual effect with a little prayer here and a little Christian jargon there but there is never a complete surrender and therefore there is no change. No redemption. No new creation. No dying to old ways. Because they can’t commit. And they are too stubborn to admit that they don’t know what they are doing. Admitting that there is a better way is admitting that we don’t have a clue. But the truth is we don’t have a clue. Not without Jesus. This life holds no purpose without Him. People will continue to try to fill their own emptiness in the same old ways because they don’t want to admit that they can’t do it alone. None of us can do it alone. We weren’t designed to. We were made to walk through this life with Christ. We were made to be co-heirs in His kingdom. We were made to lean on Him because our human strength is feeble. We were made to be His. But we were given the choice. My father doesn’t want mindless robots. Just like the rest of us, He wants real love. He doesn’t need it (He’s God) but He desires it. He created us for love. To be loved by Him and to love Him in return. This partnership, this espousal will never be equal. His love will always be greater than ours, His holiness will always be greater than ours. He is the one who is in charge (whether you surrender or not any control we have in this world is all an illusion). He is the Master, we are servants. So many people can’t handle that. So they stay in their muck, or they hang from their cliff, because somehow they are comfortable in their desperation and somehow they’ve convinced themselves they are in control.

Commuter Services

Outreach program of I-494 Corridor Commission

The I-494 Corridor Commission works with businesses, residents, and agencies to reduce congestion along the I-494 corridor.

Working with Businesses

I-494 is one of the fastest growing economic regions in the Twin Cities Metropolitan area, with 19% of the Metro area's population and 21% of all jobs. While a strong economy is important to all of us, new jobs and developments on our corridor have put increasing pressures on our roads and highways.

Most of the pressures of increasing congestion can be relieved by employers offering commute options to their employees. 494 Commuter Services staff can help businesses:

  • Develop a plan to encourage employees to use commute alternatives
  • Provide information on carpools, vanpools, buses, biking, and walking to work
  • Set up programs for employers to provide incentive to employees, set goals, and track use of commute alternatives
  • Foster relationships and public/private partnerships between business and government to improve transportation

Working with Residents

Residents along our corridor suffer as traffic congestion increases. It takes longer to get to work, run errands, and do social activities. There are many things the 494 Commission is doing to improve I-494 for better access for residents:

  • Identify "arterial roads" that can be improved and made more convenient for shorter trips and errands
  • Survey residents on new services that are needed: new bus routes, additional park and rides, carpooling advantages
  • Provide "ICTM", a system of traffic signals that alerts drivers to congested areas on I-494

Working with Agencies

The Minnesota Dept. of Transportation, the Metropolitan Council, Hennepin County, and our member cities all play a role in improving I-494. The I-494 Corridor Commission works with these agencies to:

  • Identify priorities along the corridor, such as complicated interchanges, traffic bottlenecks, and poor road conditions
  • Lobby agencies responsible for improvements to make these roads a priority
  • Look for funding to make I-494 improvements

What you’re listening to: Currently alternating between Solange’s A Seat At the Table and Drake’s More Life, which I like more than I often care to admit.

Favourite word(s): Somnambulant

Favourite song: A tie between Erykah Badu’s Green Eyes and Sonic Youth’s Teenage Riot.

Living person you most admire: Jeremy Corbyn. If you guys decide you don’t want him, can you send him to the US?

The trait you most deplores in yourself: I’m overly critical, but I’m also pretty sure that’s also what makes me a good writer. Oh well.

The trait you most deplores in others: Cowardice, and its cousin, timidity.

The book you wish you’d written: Toni Morrison’s Beloved, a masterwork.

If you weren’t writing: I’d be plotting some other way to take over the world.

Who would play the main characters in a film adaptation of your book? Zoe Kravitz and Octavia Spencer as Thandi and her mother.

Best place to write? The best place to write is in a grungy coffee shop, with good people watching, and where they let you stay as long as you like. These places tend to have a few identifying features: old furniture that looks fished out of a dumpster, disinterested staff, good music, and they usually serve alcohol. Pro tip.

What We Lose is out NOW

Zimwi (3PP)

Medium giant, chaotic evil

Armor Class 17 (natural armor)
Hit Points 76 (9d8 + 36)
Speed 40 ft.

13 (+1) 18 (+4) 19 (+4) 6 (-2) 9 (-1) 7 (-2)

Skills Perception +1
Senses darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 11
Languages Giant
Challenge 4 (1,100 XP)

  • Multiattack. The zimwi makes one claws attack and one bite attack.
  • Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature grappled by the zimwi, that creature is swallowed, and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the zimwi, and it takes 14 (4d6) acid damage at the start of each of the zimwi’s turns. If the zimwi’s stomach takes 20 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the zimwi must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 5 feet of the zimwi. Damage done to a zimwi’s stomach does not harm the zimwi. The zimwi’s stomach is larger on the inside than the outside. It can have two Medium creatures or four Small or smaller creatures swallowed at one time. If the zimwi dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse using 5 feet of movement, exiting prone.
  • Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage, and if the target is a Medium or smaller creature and the zimwi isn’t already grappling a creature, it is grappled (escape DC 11).

This swift-moving, lanky humanoid has long arms ending in wicked claws and jaws that open impossibly wide.

Swift as Horses. Distantly related to the trolls, the swift and nimble zimwi are a plague upon southern lands. Constantly hungry and ill-tempered, with the speed to run down horses, lone zimwi have been known to attack large caravans.

Always Starving. Most of their attacks are driven by hunger. The stomach of a zimwi is larger than its body, extending extra-dimensionally and driving the zimwi nearly insane with the constant sensation of emptiness, as though it is starving to death. Because of their endless hunger and low intelligence, zimwi have little awareness of the course of a battle. Losing means only that they have not eaten. As long as they continue to feast, they fight on, feeling victorious until death comes to them or all of their prey.

Stomachs of Holding. The mage-crafters discovered the secret to turning zimwi stomachs into extradimensional containers similar to bags of holding. Using a zimwi stomach in the creation of such items reduces the cost of materials by half.

Our nephew is three!
The Princess and I made him a chocolate cake with fresh strawberries and peanut butter frosting.  The cake was good; the frosting was awesome.  I'd never made PB frosting before, so I hunted around on the Internet for some ideas.  Everyone seemed to be using Ina Garten's recipe, and giving it rave reviews.  I made mine using a bit less butter and sugar, and a pinch more salt and vanilla.  Just to be contrary.
Strawberries were the perfect fresh counterpoint.  Next time, I think I'll add some sliced bananas between the layers, too...
The only downside to this particular confection was that poor Tiny and his similarly-aged cousin -- neither of whom is eating nuts yet -- were forced to look on with legitimately drooly mouths.  Poor kiddos.

Organic Makeup – The Good? The Bad? Or Just The Ugly?

With the environmental agenda sweeping the nation it seems there is a lot of pressure on members of the public to consider the ecological effects of their 3d mink lash suppliers . This has had an effect on our transport options, our choices of diet and also on beauty products. However we are also in the midst of an economic crisis, so how can we spend disposable income on things like organic make up that aren’t considered necessities? Is there a possible way to buy make up which is environmentally friendly without having to break the bank?

3d mink lash suppliers
3d mink lash suppliers

Aastm Well, yes you can, as companies begin to understand and react to the niche that offers natural organic 3d mink lash suppliers with affordable prices. However, because of the distribution costs financially and environmentally, you may be hard pressed to find such shops on the high street. The best bet would be to search around on the internet to find online make-up retailers as often the savings will get passed on to the customer.

Why Organic?

Another issue that is raised with the purchase of beauty products can be the sometimes questionable ethical methods of testing. Animal Rights activists have been at odds with 3d mink lash suppliers manufacturing giants for decades now and it seems that more companies are folding to the pressure put on by environmental groups, which is fantastic; however it leads again to an increase of cost to pay for specific scientific testing staff needed to observe how toxic the chemical ingredients are. The likelihood of harming yourself through the use of make-up due to the toxic chemicals in it is drastically increased with the usage of organic make-up as most of the colourings and texture modifiers are perfectly safe, meaning that the skin cannot absorb any poisons into the bloodstream. Also there is less chance of developing an allergic reaction to the ingredients, and because of the SPF levels found in organic make up, you’re skin will be less effected by the wrinkles that UV rays can inflict.

Another major benefit of natural skin care and hair dyes are that, because its made using organic ingredients, the final look will look better than if the products are developed with man-made components. After all thats said and done, the point of 3d mink lash suppliers is to enhance your look so why settle for unnatural products when the alternative is similarly priced and gives you a better end result. Perhaps its time for the make-up industry to start thinking more about the choice of ingredients it uses or else it may find itself losing out to the natural skin care surge.

A major downtown Fort Myers development project remains stalled as it's been months since initial plans were drafted for the area known as "Gardner's Park."

The location is between Fowler and Evans just north of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

Stakeholders went before the Community Redevelopment Commission on Wednesday to get the ball rolling on the project.

Separately, each business could be a stand-alone attraction. Combined, they plan to become a new destination in downtown Fort Myers' future.

Robert Johnson, the owner of the Butterfly Estates, is one of many merchants in the area recognized as Gardner's Park -- home to other well-established local businesses like Wisteria Tea Room and Belle Fille.

"It lends itself to be a place where you can live and work," he said. "It's going to be the new Garden Arts District, so there's a lot of ability for artists to move in here, find a great little home."

But before that can happen, plans for the project need to be approved.

"EnSite, which is a great engineering company, they had some personal problems," said Bobbie Schwartz.

We learned the person in charge of the project suffered a loss in the family. That meant requests by businesses and homeowners to make changes to initial drafts of the development have been delayed -- some changes include allowing more homes with more living space and traffic management.

"We can all do better at establishing deadlines then holding everyone accountable to try and get those deadlines hitting them timely and to move the progress forward," said Fort Myers' Mayor Randy Henderson.

City council members acted as the CRA Commissioners urged their staff to make Gardner's Park a top priority.

"We want to seize upon the momentum that's already here," said  Mayor Henderson.

Businesses can't wait either.

"We're surrounded by a lot of history and culture we would love to really have this whole are take off," said Belle Fille co-owner Kelly Anderson.

CRA officials told us they are pushing harder to make that happen.

Solar cooking no half-baked idea

"I see the (sun)light!" Meet a couple who reckon they can whip up a five course meal without spending a minute in the kitchen.

If someone told you they could cook up a five course feast without spending any time in the kitchen, would you believe them?

You would if you were a dinner guest at Jane and Stan Cajdler's house.

Jane and Stan are solar cooking devotees; for them, solar cooking is not just a hobby, but a way of life.

Come winter or summer, cloud or bright sunshine (but perhaps not rain!), the Cajdlers make use of a range of solar cooking devices designed and built by Stan to cook up anything from a cup of coffee to a roast with all the trimmings to a sponge cake.

Jane and Stan are passionate about solar cooking, and they travel the state talking to school kids about how they harness the sun's rays to cook up a feast.

Such is their passion, the Cajdlers have established a website, the sole aim of which is to shed light on the wonders of solar cooking.

With electricity prices on the rise, perhaps this is no half-baked idea after all!

While some races have yet to be decided, the American electorate voted for Democrats to take the House majority while increasing the Senate majority held by Republicans.

The number of seats controlled by Democrats in the House of Representatives is projected to be around 230 seats, with Republicans holding around 206 seats, giving Democrats a majority of approximately 24 seats. In the U.S. Senate, Republicans maintained and grew their majority. It is projected that Republicans will win the remaining Senate races in Arizona, Florida and Mississippi, giving Republicans a 53 to 47 majority. The final count for both chambers will not be announced for some time, as recounts have already been called for. Democrats performed well in state elections, making dents in near historic GOP control of governorships and state legislatures, but missed a number of opportunities to flip legislative chambers or governorships in key battleground states.

Democratic trifectas (party control of both chambers and the governorship) increased from 7 to 14 states, while GOP trifectas decreased from 26 to 23 states. The GOP now controls 62 of 99 legislative chambers, a decrease from 67 chambers. Of the 26 governorships the GOP defended this cycle, Democrats picked up seven new governorships, and the GOP prevailed only in Alaska out of 10 possible pickup opportunities.

Several ABC members ran for federal and state offices yesterday. The results:

• Steve Cona (R-Fla.) won the election for Hillsborough County School Board 1 in Florida.
• Chuck Goodrich (R-Ind.-29) won the election for Indiana’s 29th State House District.
• Bill Lee (R-Tenn.) won the election for governor of Tennessee.
• Carol Miller (R-W.Va.-3) won the election for West Virginia’s 3rd Congressional District.
• Mick Rich (R-N.M.) lost the New Mexico Senate race.

Don’t forget to participate in ABC's post-election webinar on Thursday, Nov. 8, at 4 p.m. EST. Exclusively for members, ABC National government affairs team members will discuss how the election results are likely to affect state and federal politics and policy. Register today.

When things go wrong, as they always do, I’ll keep an eye on how your government works or doesn’t to keep your trust.I’ll be doing all that on this blog, of course, but you can also follow me on Twitter and get longer takes on current events. Political news right here. Dealings to wade into.

On top of all that, the military is girding for another social revolution that might take some getting used to inside the cheek to jowl confines of submarines: allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly in the ranks. “They’re always bellyaching, and they always hate change. But I think the men are going to be better at all these changes than they’re willing to let on.”.

Also means that whenever we present someone’s words verbatim in text, we encase them within quotes or, in an audio report, make it clear that we are using the source’s wording. If we paraphrase for space or clarity, we transparently credit the source of the ideas. And we don’t lightly edit quotes just to avoid putting them in quotes; we use brackets, ellipses and other signals to make clear we’ve changed what someone said.

Instead of “How do we stop the ivory trade?” they should ask: “How do we make elephants valuable enough that people have an incentive to be careful stewards, rather than careless exterminators?” But they don’t, perhaps because a conservation ideology fueled by Western and particularly American opposition to commercial use has misled those who wish to save elephants. (American conservationists generally oppose relying on market forces to preserve wildlife.) A second possibility is less benign: An international ivory ban is expected to substitute for effective law enforcement at the national level and to cover up decades of mismanagement and corruption. Regardless of motives, a government ban on a valued commodity never wholly eliminates demand.

Nagin said that about 30,000 travel trailers had been requested by New Orleans residents, and almost 12,000 trailers were already occupied. (An additional 18,000 were in the process of being leased. Of these, about 6,500 would be located on group sites.

Don’t try to park near bear lake unless you’re there super early and just park at the park and ride and take the shuttle. However, i was there last weekend around the same time and the park and ride lot was almost completely full. Didn’t wanna deal with that and left..

Colby”. Colby settled in the town of Cassadaga Florida in 1880. He filed for a homestead grant, and in 1884 was awarded the 145 acres which soon became the Cassadaga Spiritual Camp. The Texas cases were identified as part of the follow up to the state’s first case of likely local Zika spread, announced Nov. 28. The additional patients live close to the first patient, a Brownsville resident.

1. A 2010 New York Times profile detailed how her parents “entered Nikki and her sister in the Little Miss Bamberg pageant. The judges of the contest, one that crowned one black queen and one white queen, were so flummoxed that they simply disqualified Nikki and her sister, Simran but not before Nikki, about 5, sang ‘This Land Is Your Land.’ “.

The controversy over family separation has accomplished at least one useful thing. It is an act of inhumanity by the Trump administration so gross so rotting, worm ridden and hair covered that many evangelical Christian leaders have refused to swallow it. Even Franklin Graham, awakened momentarily from his ideological slumbers, has called the practice “disgraceful.”.

Edward St. John, a real estate executive and philanthropist from Baltimore who gives heavily to GOP candidates, was Gillespie’s top donor in the most recent period at $50,000.

We are in the midst of shaping our next innovative steps in pursuit of maximal openness and transparency in research communication, and assessing what changes we need to make as an organization. Some of these changes will likely go unnoticed outside of PLOS.

After six days, John Wells couldn’t wait to leave. On the cruise’s final afternoon, he and Anne sat on their balcony as the Epic chased the sun toward Miami. The sky was a bright subtropical blue, marred only by the diesel exhaust unfurling from the Epic’s smokestacks.

At least he’ll be in one museum. Having played only nine years, Weaver is ineligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame, which requires a minimum of ten years of service to join its hallowed halls. The numbers he was putting up when his career was abruptly aborted suggest he was on course for consideration.

Perhaps it’s not surprising that they fought amongst themselves (Avory famously produced 16 stitches on Dave Davies’ head with the pedal of his hi hat on stage in Wales) and others (“Dedicated Follower of Fashion” came after Ray had a fistfight with a fashion designer and decided to turn his anger into music). The band’s rowdy reputation reportedly led to an American Federation of Musicians’ ban on the Kinks performing in the States for four years between ’65 and ’69. So the musicians could not tour to support their music when they were at one of their creative peaks in the biggest music market in the world..

While we’re on the subject of bridal shoes. What do you think about saving one’s bridal shoes? I think it sweet to save one’s bridal shoes. I hope that someday in the future those shoes will again have the chance to be worn. Since losing his wife, Seth has kept busy running the Harper family’s renovation business and flying way under the social radar. But when Brianna hires him to convert her aging dream home into a romantic B and B, working together presents a heart stopping temptation Seth never saw coming. With guilt and grief his only companions for so long, he’ll have to step out of the past long enough to recognize the beautiful life Brianna and he could build together..

In the days when Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller filled the loincloth, the films were shot on backlots, with location footage (often shot for other movies) spliced in. The most recent live action iteration to become a hit, 1984’s (deep breath) Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, went for vrit and grandeur, filming on location in Cameroon and Scotland. But the wheel of time has spun back ’round to the lot: Though some backgrounds for Tarzan ’16 were filmed in Gabon, everything involving the actors was shot at Warner Bros.

The person who wrote the original post (upon re re reading) comes off as a late teens emotionally charged individual (which we all are in our teens, it your brains fault). Coming to terms with not wearing your bleeding heart on your sleeve. Which is fair advice in some context, I don need your sob story when I walk by you, barely know you and say “good morning”.

The dark tinting you describe does not offer any protection on its own. You can have clear lenses that are fully uv protective. In fact, if for whatever reason the lenses on a pair of sunglasses are not uv protective, the dark tinting would actually be harmful, as it induces your pupils to dilate and allow in more uv rays..

Choose colors that suit your shape. A pear shaped woman may want to stick to darker colors on the bottom half, and lighter shades up top. This tends to give the look of balance. I didn start writing my first novel until age 26 (no, I am 29 yet and it is STILL NOT FINISHED. However, I fervently blame my having two babies back to back and my DH being in law school for that. I digress).You are so courageous.

At first you’d think that Chito was engaged purely in a recycling business. Just like the man in the short film, Chito left his house at night on his trisikad. He would go around picking up trash from the fast food chains around the city. Unless we increase our capacity to use water wisely in agriculture, we will fail to end hunger and we will open the door to a range of other ills, including drought, famine and political instability.In many parts of the world, water scarcity is increasing and rates of growth in agricultural production have been slowing. At the same time, climate change is exacerbating risk and unpredictability for farmers, especially for poor farmers in low income countries who are the most vulnerable and the least able to adapt.These interlinked challenges are increasing competition between communities and countries for scarce water resources, aggravating old security dilemmas, creating new ones and hampering the achievement of the fundamental human rights to food, water and sanitation. With nearly 1billion people hungry and some 800million still lacking a safe supply of freshwater, there is much we must do to strengthen the foundations of local, national, and global stability.Guaranteeing sustainable food and water security for all will require the full engagement of all sectors and actors.

“The tremendous response we received last year in Boston from the poster contest proved that kids were eager to participate. If they are drawing the message, we know they are learning the message. This year we are proud to be running the poster contest in 10 states reaching students about skin cancer prevention,” said Shonda Schilling.

So where does that leave us with respect to the question posed in the headline? As Sullum points out, over the past six years, adoption comprised only 3 percent of total federal forfeitures. But that includes all federal forfeitures, including criminal. Criminal forfeitures are less troubling, because they require an actual conviction in order to seize property.

In 2006, the Supreme Court ruled inHudson v. It’s meant to deter illegal searches. Writing for a5 to 4majority, Justice Antonin Scalia said thatalthough the knock and announce rule is indeed part of the Fourth Amendment, excluding evidence from raids in which police failed to abide by itwas too extreme of a remedy forsuch a minor violation.

This is not to deny that impaired driving is a huge problem drunk driving alone killed over 10,000 Americans in 2012, and texting related accidents have soared in recent years. So how best to deal with marijuana impaired driving as more states legalize the drug? States should begin by separating marijuana DUI from alcohol DUI so researchers can better study legalization’s effects. When deciding punishments, legislators should take into consideration the relative danger of various forms of impairment, from texting to marijuana to alcohol.

Having tried hers on, they have the nicest view I seen. I don think she would have gotten custom polarised frames/lenses from anywhere else for cheaper, that also look good. They cost around $145. More islands are embracing the zero waste philosophy. On Rapa Nui travelers refill their reusable water bottles at water stations around the island. In Hawaii a bill to ban polystyrene food containers is being debated.

WANG: Well, besides what exactly was used to cause the explosion, we don’t know what exactly the connection is between the explosion and the secondary device. We don’t know who did it.

He speaks on what he’s seen and experienced growing up in Compton, so he balanced the expected delivery of favorites such as “BPT,” the ode to his home town, or “My N ” and “Who Do You Love?” with the introspection of “Blacks Browns.” On the latter, he and rapper Sad Boy spoke to the discrimination levied against the African American and Hispanic communities. It was the perfect segue into the tour’s namesake..

And no I’m not afraid of foxes getting the cats, the idea that they would is a myth; foxes are shy and timid and no match for a cat. A fox face to face with a cat that its cornered will be facing a cat with its claws out and the fox will come off worse every time. The only reason a rural fox would go after chickens is when the fox is desperate for food chickens can be easy prey, and they’re not as much of a threat to rabbits as people might think as a rabbit can easily outrun a fox..

Clinton doesn’t know why. Mr. Turkey’s secular way of life, Democratic governance, its connections to the West, membership to NATO all of that makes Turkey an anathema to ISIS. And this war was bound to happen. The question was not if, it was when.

Though the hourlong department meetings often start out with a line by line analysis of spending, the conversation grows more expansive over time. An analysis of multiple medical calls to the Fire Department, for example, leads to a discussion about whether it would be more cost effective to purchase a third ambulance. A review of the costs for a police dispatcher’s pregnancy leave leads to an update on efforts to build a joint dispatch system for police and fire.

There were dramatically overcast skies with just a bit of early evening sun glinting off the water. Boats sailed along the waterway and historic buildings were visible in the distance.Inside, small tables covered in white linen were sprinkled throughout but the only munchies your pooler could see were breadsticks. Where pray tell were the canapes? Perhaps they arrived after your pool was ushered into the auditorium.The delegations arrived and sat grouped together stage right.

None of the Green Bay or Chicago players appeared to be kneeling during the anthem, a form of protest in which more than 200 players engaged on Sunday, when every NFL game was marked by anthem demonstrations. Reports from Lambeau indicated that most of the 81,000 plus fans in attendance did not link arms, as some saluted and many stood with their hands over their hearts. As players linked arms on their respective sidelines,some fans reportedly booed, although others at the stadiumreported that they did not hear any booing..

HOLMES: Years later, some people will tell you that the whole thing is pretty corny the rich young woman with a dastardly fiance, the brave young dreamer who sweeps her off her feet, the nude sketch, the descent into steerage, where all the real fun is had. But most of the second half of the film nearly an hour and a half of screen time concerns the sinking of the ship after it collides with the iceberg. Apologies for what is perhaps the greatest spoiler in history..

NO offence mate but by your logic, “Casey doesn owe you anything”. Well nobody SAID he did”. I can use that logic for debate as well. I really feel like Sonja feels lonely and cast aside since her divorce. I think she feels unwanted and undesirable so she overcompensates. She doesn seem to have a purpose and she doesn have much freedom in her choices (financially, with her daughter, everything wrapped up in her (still pending???) settlement, not being able to sell her townhouse despite listing it more than once, being on the outs with her friends, having issues with sobriety (no judgement)).

You are about 100 times more likely to hit the jackpot playing Powerball twice in a row than you are to hit a perfect bracket. Everyone in the world could learn how to pick a bracket skillfully, then submit 100 million brackets each, and there would still be less than a 50% chance that one of those 700 quadrillion brackets would hit perfectly..

His claim has become notorious in pain research circles, and even Derbyshire says he thinks he may have overstepped. Sometimes regret that I pushed it out quite that far, he concedes. Really, who knows when the light finally switches on?

But now that Dr. Ricardo Martinez, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is calling driving under the influence a “violent crime,” perhaps the House of Representatives will stop taking the side of the booze merchants and pass the 0.08% limit, a moderate standard that is now law in 16 states and the District of Columbia, including California.The President’s War on Drugs: No Frontal Attack on AlcoholMarch 10, 1990The March 3 article “Bush to Hollywood: Tell Truth About Drugs” revealed the President’s pusillanimous approach to dealing with drugs and their television industry purveyors.

You right, there are huge education problems and not everyone needs a bachelor degree. It completely ridiculous that our society demands that.

Onfroy’s early death will likely do little to still the controversy stirred up by his improbable cannonball into the mainstream.

In reading through the congressional report, one point jumped out at me. Energy policy. Numerous posts, for example, directly targeted the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). Charlie Hebdo gained notoriety in 2006 for its portrayal of a sobbing Muhammad, under the headline “Mahomet dbord par les intgristes” (“Muhammad overwhelmed by fundamentalists”). Within its pages, the magazine published 12 cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, bringing unprecedented condemnation from the Muslim world. The French Council for the Muslim Faith eventually sued the weekly for the cartoon.

Although Franzen later apologized for his comments and appeared on Oprah’s show, it was clear that in his mind, being associated with women and, thus, frivolity took away from the book’s literary merit and made it less appealing to a male audience. An Oprah sticker was akin to the book having a pink cover.For the record, Ilovemy book’s pink cover. I think it helps to communicate exactly what I wanted: that this is a story about a girl reckoning with what it means to become a woman.

Im certain youll have no issues finding what youre looking for in Bruges. There was a redditor who had posted up in here about their trip to Belgium and Ghent was one of them. I would love to give credit where credit is due so hopefully he sees this post but this was the one pic that inspired me to want to visit Ghent some day.

Hefner had found a niche in the market for men’s publications, which was then dominated by hunting, shooting and fishing periodicals.The second issue saw the appearance of the bow tie wearing rabbit, which was designed by the magazine’s art director Art Paul. It would appear on a host of products over the following decades.Finest contemporary writingIn response to a flood of angry letters, Hefner replied: “If it was wrong to persecute heterosexuals in a homosexual society then the reverse is wrong too.”In later years he would become an advocate for same sex marriage describing it as “a fight for all our rights”.Hefner’s editorial stance was in tune with the changes in society as the magazine campaigned for liberal drugs laws and the right to abortion.For the next 20 years, Playboy dominated its market, with circulation peaking at over seven million in the early 1970s, when a survey suggested that a quarter of all male college students in America were buying the magazine.At the time it contained some of the finest contemporary writing in the magazine market, with Saul Bellow, Arthur C Clarke, Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal among the regular contributors.Luxury and indulgenceThe articles appeared sandwiched between the obligatory photographs of beautiful women, although far more tastefully shot than many of Playboy’s more downmarket competitors.The centre spread entitled Playmate of the Month featured some famous names including Jayne Mansfield and Pamela Anderson, while other celebrities, including Bo Derek, Kim Basinger, Farrah Fawcett and Madonna, have been happy to pose for the magazine.The photographs of Jayne Mansfield provoked Hefner’s arrest and a prosecution for obscenity in 1963 but the jury was unable to reach a verdict.Hefner set out to exploit the success of his magazine with the opening of the first Playboy club in Chicago in 1960, which introduced the Playboy bunny waitresses.The relaxation of gaming laws in the UK opened up another opportunity and Hefner opened three casinos in the UK. By 1981 they were contributing all of Playboy’s worldwide profits.At this time Hefner was living a life of luxury and indulgence in his two Playboy mansions, accompanied by an ever changing cast of celebrities and pneumatic girlfriends, and shuttling between them in his personalised DC9, the Big Bunny..

The new policy will apply till Jan. 15 a two week trial run to see if it works. The verdict, so far, is unclear: Critics are skeptical the policy will actually reduce pollution levels, particularly in January, when Delhi’s pollution is at its worst owing to the heavy fog.

Eventually they left, after making me swear not to tell anyone of course. I clean myself up and immediately begin drinking heavily. My roommate Robin decided to confront me about what happened; she’d heard most of it through the shitty college apartment walls and assumed I was the one who had initiated everything, wanted it, etc..

There were no technical complications during novel stent deployment, such as migration, occlusion, etc. Favorable angiographic outcome, such as complete aneurysm thrombosis, was observed in 50% of group3, and there was no favorable outcome in both group2 and 3.

I learned early on never to make eye contact. It’s simply safer that way! Be polite in a distracted sort of way, never stop for small talk with the street denizens and always carry pepper spray. Running the tavern gauntlet every night taught me to be aloof, be wary and be outta there as quickly as possible.

I laughed, went back to the browser to re read the comment to make sure I was doing the same thing, then also read your comment.

A deep cheer went right up through these thousands of people there are people here. Who are not happy with just an opinion of course people who believe that their faith tradition or their. Fundamental belief about marriage and family that this contradicts that.

“Awareness that the Government may be watching chills associational and expressive freedoms. And the Government’s unrestrained power to assemble data that reveal private aspects of identity is susceptible to abuse. The net result is that GPS monitoring by making available at a relatively low cost such a substantial quantum of intimate information about any person whom the Government, in its unfettered discretion, chooses to track may ‘alter the relationship between citizen and government in a way that is inimical to democratic society.’ “.

The comments on a post about this controversy over at the blog Frog and Toad are Still Friends has turned into a compelling discussion of whether children should be exposed to media that doesn align with their families beliefs. Since The Golden Compass is a critically acclaimed novel, one that has won several esteemed literary awards, some argue that it a shame to keep children from a piece of excellent literature for the sake of shielding them from beliefs that challenge their own, that if we done our best to imbue our children with strong beliefs, they will not be swayed by something they watch or read. Others claim that it a parent obligation to keep her children from exploring media that isn in keeping with the morals of their household..

Early contact with the New World?

Looking at the film Troy on ITV1 last night, I'm pretty sure I saw a llama in Troy. It was only a quick glimpse so I can't be sure, but if so, is it evidence of early contact with South America?

The Metamorphosis of a good old book …..

I started reading a book over the weekend, the first in over a year! I’d been thinking about reading a good book for a long while now, but since driving came on the scene, reading for pleasure became insurmountable! Last week, whilst talking to my neighbour,who has a big library, I mentioned the need  to sink my teeth into a good book – she instantly produced a fat softback, which I  haven’t been able to put down since. Prior to that,…

Styling a fellow Blogger

Being a freelance stylist means I’ve had privy to many  a wardrobe in Britain and abroad. I sieve through clients wardrobes, decluttering and giving them my humble advice.

Liberated collaborations

Whilst not a big fan of floral prints, over the years, I have come to have an appreciation for them . The reason being, this collaborating era that we find ourselves in, which allows different artistic worlds to collide, re-interpret floral prints and birth amazing masterpieces. How fun is it that Artists and photographers, are no longer confined to galleries, and private collections – , that Street-wear meets couture, that there is an alchemy of Architecture and fashion, that lifestyle…

Experimenting with nature.

There’s something about the grains in wood, the texture, and the smell, that just does it for me. I like the way it looks, the variation in the colours, and the strength of it. If I had to pick a material to work with, it will be this, the oldest building material in the world. It’s renewable like any crop, and has the ability to absorb carbon dioxide during growth and even after it’s been turned into lumber.Hooray!…

Sharing the Storytime Joy

by Dawn S | Oct 16, 2018

Welcome to our weekly blog post - Sharing the Storytime Joy! Today's post is by Carrie, who works with children and families at our Waynedale Branch Library.

During Storytime, I like to move a lot. Our group ranges in age from infants up to about age 5, and we have a lot of energy first thing in the morning. We certainly read a book or two and do some fingerplays, but we also spend a lot of time stretching and dancing around. We use ribbons or scarves weekly as we twirl and jump. Sometimes we pretend they are different objects. Can you use your scarf like a hat? Can you fly it like a kite? Can you toss it in the air and catch it like a falling leaf? How would it look as an elephant’s trunk?

We try to do at least one activity which crosses the midline each week, too. By moving your hands or feet across an imaginary line down the center of your body, you are developing skills useful in writing and reading. You are building connections between the two sides of your brain. You are also building motor skills necessary in daily tasks like writing and tying your shoes. Can you hold your scarf in your right hand and swish your left shoulder? Can you hold it in your left hand and tickle your right foot? Can you stretch your right arm all the way out to your side, sweep it up, up, up into the air over your head, and down to the left shoulder? Can you pass it into your left hand and try to stretch that one out and up, up, up and over to your right shoulder?

I like to follow up all the stretching and bending with a dance to expend some energy. A favorite is The Freeze by Greg & Steve. We dance along with the music however we want, but when the music pauses, we try to freeze in place! It’s a lot of fun, and I love to see the amazing dance moves each person invents. Dancing with the scarves and ribbons is fun, and it fills the room with color. You should give it a try!

We use these scarves, but you could easily use handkerchiefs, inexpensive squares of patterned cotton material, or any other lightweight fabric.

As the weather turns cold and rainy, turn up the music and dance around! It’s good for your brain!

Butt Enhancement After Butt injections?

Q:  I had butt injections 1 1/2 yr ago and was considering a much bigger bum, but not sure about butt implants what would you recommend implants or injections? Photo enclosed what procedure is this? and the starting price?

A:  The attached photo is of one of my patients who had fat grafting to the buttocks, also called Brazilian Butt lift.  Fat grafting after “butt injections” is tricky.  It depends on what you had injected and the shape your buttocks are in after that procedure.  If you had fat grafting to the buttocks, it may be possible to repeat that procedure to enlarge your butt.  It will depend on whether or not you have any more fat to harvest.  If you had silicone, hydrogel or other black market products injected into your bum, further surgery may not be possible.  Please consider scheduling a consultation.

Hebrews 8:10

Hebrews 8:10 talks about the new covenant and its law. What is the content of that law?

The text you quoted does not explicitly state the content of the “law,” but the terminology used in the immediate context, as well as the view of the law in the rest of the letter to the Hebrews, provides a clear answer to your question. Let’s examine both of them.

1. The Law in Hebrews 8:10: The verse quotes Jeremiah 31:33, the only place in the Old Testament where the “new covenant” is mentioned. According to the new covenant the Lord promises to “put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts” (Heb. 8:10).* We should notice several things. First, there is no reference to a new law. It is simply “my laws,” suggesting that its meaning was clear to the intended readers. What is new is that under the new covenant the law will be placed in the human mind/heart.

Second, it explicitly states that God will write His laws in the human heart. It is impossible to miss the reference to the giving of the Ten Commandments at Sinai: “And he [God] wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments” (Ex. 34:28). They were “inscribed by the finger of God” (31:18). These tablets are called “the tablets of the covenant” (Deut. 9:9, 15), that is to say the covenant law, and were placed inside the “ark of the covenant” (Deut. 10:8). In the new covenant, the Lord will inscribe this same covenant law on the human heart. It will be internalized, becoming part of the life of the believer.

Third, the plural, “laws,” used only in Hebrews 8:10 and 10:16, does not refer to a diversity of laws different from those in the Old Testament, but to the content of the Decalogue. In the Hebrew text of Jeremiah 31:33 the term “law” is singular, but the Greek translation of the Old Testament, used by the apostle, translated it as a plural. The plural was employed because the law inscribed on the tablets consisted of a list of specific laws—the Ten Commandments (cf. Ex. 34:28).

Based on that evidence we can conclude that the biblical writer had in mind the Decalogue as the covenant law of the new covenant.

2. Hebrews Sets Aside the Law: It could be argued that we should not take the verb “I will write” too narrowly by limiting it to the Decalogue; that perhaps it is being used in a loose way. But the only thing we have to interpret the passage is what the passage says, and the connections it makes with other parts of the Bible. But let’s examine the use of the term “law” in the rest of Hebrews.

There is a law the apostle believes has been “set aside” (Heb. 7:18), not because it was bad but because it was “only a shadow of the good things that are coming” (Heb. 10:1). This is the priestly law dealing with the restriction of the priesthood to the descendents of Levi (chap. 7:5, 16, 18), with the sacrificial system (chap. 8:4; 10:8), with ritual ablutions (chap. 9:10), and with the blood of animals (chap. 9:22). Since these laws were “set aside” through the sacrifice and the priestly work of Jesus, they cannot be part of the laws inscribed in the heart of those who accept the new covenant.

3. Hebrews Affirms the Law: Hebrews reaffirms the law, particularly the commandments found in the Ten Commandments, and indicates that it is still valid in the life of the new covenant community. The author states “God will judge the adulterer” (chap. 13:4), that we need to worship God (chap. 12:28), and calls his readers to be obedient to the will of God for them (chap. 10:36). There is even a reference to the seventh-day Sabbath (chap. 4:4), and to the fact that God rested and that “there remains … a Sabbath-rest for the people of God” (chap. 4:9). This shows us that Hebrews establishes a difference between the Ten Commandments as the law of the new covenant and the commandments of the old covenant related to the priestly laws.
Perhaps the most important thing in this discussion is that the law should be internalized, shaping our character and actions. It is not a burden but a joyful expression of our covenant relationship with God; a covenant instituted through the gracious blood of Jesus.
