Primary Elements Arte-Pigments gives YOU the control when mixing paint colors
For over 16 years we have been blending 100% pure ground color and proprietary minerals. Our 220+ colors are far from the mass-produced colors found in a typical craft store. You will find that our unmatched luminosity and depth of color make Primary Elements less like paint and more like ARTE.
Arte-Pigment Basics
Primary Elements Arte-Pigments are compatible with binders that clean up with soap and water.
TIP: Colors are VERY Pigmented, mix small amounts of Arte-Pigments "a little at a time "You can always add more but you cannot remove if too much is used.
Compatible: Acrylic Mediums, Acrylic Glazes, Acrylic Gels, Gum binder and water based polyurethane.
NOT compatible: Arte-Pigments will resist solvent-based materials such as Nail Polish, Oil Paint and Alcohol inks
Arte-Pigments Colors are at their highest brilliance when mixed with clear or "colorless" binders. When Arte-Pigments are mixed in white based gesso, pastes or other white based paint (titanium dioxide) the brilliance of color is diminished.
TIP: Reason White is ALL color, therefore has a subtractive effect on all color thus muting the brilliance of color and light waves.
Getting started: Cover and protect your work surface and work in a well-ventilated area. When mixing large batches protect eyes, nose, and mouth from airborne particles.

Decades ago, a northern Virginia woman left home against her parents' wishes to become a freedom fighter. Now Joan Mulholland is known not only as a trailblazer but as the go-to person when it comes to artifacts from the Civil Rights Movement.
A stroll through Mulholland's Arlington home is a freedom ride through American history.
But Mulholland's collection of Civil Rights treasures also play a big part in her own history. She was a non-violent fighter for equality.
Mulholland proudly showed off her sentencing papers, requiring her to spend two months in prison for riding a freedom bus into Jackson, Miss.
"It was following Gandhi," Mulholland said. "Fill the jails, make it so inconvenient and expensive for them, and keep that publicity ruling that they would decide to obey the Supreme Court ruling."
When talking about her role in the movement to students, Mulholland is often met with skepticism. She says people don't associate her face with the push for Civil Rights.
"No, I think I'm an exception to the rule," she said. "But there were an awful lot of white folks in the south who were glad to see change come, but [they] were afraid for themselves and their families to speak out."
Mulholland wasn't afraid, not of her family nor society. She's pictured in several iconic images of the movement. One photo shows her at a Jackson lunch counter sit-in. She's covered in sugar and sits with her back to a hate-filled crowd.
Asked if it was a humiliating moment or a proud moment, Mulholland answered, "It's a 'survive it' moment."
Mulholland was arrested about a half dozen times. Her time in prison overlapped with the Rev. Reginald Green's. He was also arrested in Jackson on the day before Mulholland.
"Same jail, same time," said Rev. Green. "In fact, Joan stayed a little longer than I did, I think. She stayed to go back to school from jail."
Today, Rev. Green lives just a few miles from Mulholland across the border in D.C. He praises her role as a fellow freedom rider.
"Had it just been a movement where it was just African-Americans trying to do this on their own without that kind of ... involvement, I don't think it would have had the success," Rev. Green said.
On the eve of the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington, Mulholland reflected on her own connection to Dr. Martin Luther King -- her fearless efforts to help see his dream, her dream, become reality.
"We're going to die, eventually," Mulholland said. "It may as well be a death that makes a difference."

We return in our study of God's Word to the book of Revelation tonight and to the message to the church at Philadelphia, chapter 3 verses 7 through 13. And this is part 2 in that study.
Now admittedly there is no such thing as a perfect church. The church is not a club for people who have no weaknesses, not a society for people who have no faults. The church is really a hospital for those who know they are sick and needy. No church can be all that the Lord desires, as no Christian can be perfect.
But as good as churches get, that's how good the church at Philadelphia was. Here was a church that came as close, I suppose, as human beings can come to being all that the Lord would have them be. This was a faithful church. This was an obedient church. Along with the church at Smyrna, it's one of the two out of the seven churches in this section that received no warning, no threats, no judgments. This is a model, then, of a true and loyal church.
As we have been noting all along, each of these letters were written to historical churches, actual churches in actual cities in Asia Minor. But at the same time, these churches are examples or models or symbols of kinds of churches that exist at all times. In this particular case of the church at Philadelphia we have the picture of a faithful church. And what is said to this church would be true for this very historic church in the city of Philadelphia and true also for faithful churches at all times in the history of the church. So here we come to a faithful church; obedient, serving, worshiping the Lord.
First of all, I remind you of what we looked at last time, the correspondent is identified in verse 7. "To the angel of the church in Philadelphia," that is to the messenger, the one who will take the letter to that church, "write," and here's the correspondent or the author identified, "He who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut and who shuts and no one opens, says this."
We noted last time that "He who is holy" is an Old Testament name for God. It is a New Testament title for the Messiah. This comes, then, from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who is none other than God. Secondly, it identifies the Lord as the one who is true. Truth is also an attribute of God and therefore as well of Christ. Numerous times in the Scripture God is identified as one who is holy and true, and so is Christ. So the holy and true Lord who has the highest righteous standard and puts the supreme value on truth writes to this church.
He also describes Himself as the one who has the key of David. That is an emblem of messianic authority, of sovereignty, of ultimate control. Whoever has the key can open or shut. He's in charge. And here we have the key to open the door of salvation, or entrance to the Kingdom. Here we have the key to open the treasure house of blessing for believers. The Lord Jesus Christ is the one who has the key, He alone is the one who can open the way to salvation and open the treasure house of blessing.
And then we note also that this one who has the key opens and no one will shut, and shuts and no one opens. That is to say He is omnipotent. What He does cannot be undone. He alone opens the door to salvation and no one can shut it. He opens the door to the storehouse of blessing and no one can shut it. He opens the door to evangelistic opportunity and no one can shut it. He has invincible power.
So the writer then, our Lord Jesus Christ, identifies Himself as God, holy and true, sovereign and powerful, invincible. Now that alone might have caused the Philadelphians who read this letter to assume they were going to get a strong rebuke. God being holy does not tolerate sin, God being true does not tolerate error. God having the key, as it were, in Christ to open the Kingdom and open the blessings would be the one who would decide whether this church was to be blessed. We would not be surprised then that they would have expected perhaps a rebuke for some sin or some failure from such a formidable author, but that doesn't happen. The Lord Himself looks and sees nothing lacking. The key opens salvation, the key opened blessing, the key opened tremendous evangelistic opportunity. The Lord saw nothing to rebuke.
The second thing we noted was the city. Philadelphia, a city in Asia Minor, about thirty miles southeast of Sardis. And I remind you that seven men left John with the book of Revelation and the letters to the seven churches and each one dropped off at his own church as they moved through Asia Minor. The church we don't know anything about, its founding. All we know is what's in this letter.
And then we come to the point, the condemnation, but there isn't any. And so we turn immediately to the commendation. We start there in verse 8. And here the commendation is given. He says, "I know your deeds," or I know your works. And that's a very simple statement to make but it expresses the omniscience of Christ. I know you, nothing escapes Me, nothing is hidden to Me, nothing goes unseen, I know your works. The holy, true, sovereign, powerful Lord knows everything there is to know.
And what did He see? Four things, remember them? First of all He saw they had power, verse 8, "Behold, I have put before you an open door," and He follows that through, you haven't denied My name, you've kept My word. But in the middle, "You have a little power." They had power. That's spiritual power. It was only little because they were a small church.
Secondly, He notes their obedience. "You have kept My Word." And then He notes their loyalty, "You have not denied My name." And then He notes their endurance, verse 10, "You have kept the word of My perseverance." Literally, "You have kept My command to endure patiently." So here was a church with power, obedience, loyalty and endurance...commendable indeed.
Now because of such quality, our Lord gave them some privileges. First of all, He says, verse 8, "I have put before you an open door which no one can shut." We already noted that this open door would be the promise of Kingdom admission, that is I have opened the door to the Kingdom to let you in and no one can keep you out. This would deal with the spiritual Kingdom and some day with the earthly Kingdom to come. So here was a promise of security, assurance.
Then obviously He had opened the door of blessing to them. That blessing had come flowing down to them, no one could close that door either because they were faithful and worthy of Kingdom blessing.
And then we would also note that He had opened the door of evangelistic opportunity. He describes that in verse 9 when He says that Jews who are your enemy will come and bow down at your feet and know that I have loved you. In other words, you'll have an open door of evangelistic opportunity in your city, even to reach the synagogue of Satan occupied by Jews hostile to the gospel. The door of salvation had been opened, the door of blessing and the door of evangelistic opportunity.
We noted that in this city of Philadelphia, those Jews who persecuted them came and bowed down and acknowledged the love of God for Gentiles. This also looks further into the future and sees that every faithful church will enjoy such an open door, every faithful church will find the Kingdom door open, will find Kingdom blessings available and will find evangelistic opportunity given to them, particularly with reference to the salvation of Jews.
So here is a model of a faithful church. The Kingdom door is wide open and many are coming to Christ. The door of the treasure house of God's blessings is wide open and being poured out on them. And a door of evangelistic opportunity is open and they are going through it. And God is even saving hostile Jews. And that has happened, as I noted, throughout the history of the church. Faithful, loyal, obedient, powerful churches have been blessed by being the place where many enter the Kingdom, by being blessed with all spiritual blessings and by being given great evangelistic opportunity, often embracing the salvation of Jews. And some day the church will finally provoke Israel to salvation on a national scale.
Eventually, He says, the people who are against you, at the end of verse 9, will come to know I have loved you. That's hard for Jews to accept that God had a special covenant love with Gentiles. Jonah had a hard time dealing with it. But God has loved His church, has loved the Gentiles and used the Gentile church to provoke Israel to jealousy.
Now we all looked at that last time. There is one more promise to this commended church that we didn't look at and it is significant, verse 10, "You are a powerful and obedient church, a loyal and patient, enduring church, and because you have kept the Word of My perseverance, or you have obeyed My command to patiently endure, because you have endured with blazing hope, persecution and hostility, because you have taken your suffering and not wavered and in the midst of suffering...back to verse 8...you have kept My Word and have not denied My power or My name, because of that, here's this promise, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world to test those who dwell upon the earth."
What a promise. You have successfully passed all the tests, tests to try your faith. Persecution, animosity, hostility, and your faith is found genuine, you have maintained your power, you have maintained your obedience, you have maintained your loyalty and you have endured it all. And because you have passed so many tests, I'm going to spare you the future tests. That's what He's saying.
It could have been some simple historical reference to sparing the church in Philadelphia from some trouble when another wave of persecution came in the future. Or some trouble when the nearest volcano blew and the earthquake rattled their city to the ground. It could have had some brief historical sense. But whatever brief, historical sense that promise had gets swallowed up in the vastness of the promise. We could never limit it to a historical event that occurred in the little city of Philadelphia. It has to be looking far into the future at Philadelphia-like faithful churches and telling those true, loyal, powerful, obedient churches that they will escape a final hour of testing.
It kind of goes like this. When you were a student, if you were a good student in your senior year, at least this is the way I was treated as a student, you came to the finals and the teacher let you miss the final. I remember in my senior year in college having that privilege because I had dutifully passed my courses with decent grades. By the time it came to finals, I didn't have to take my finals because the teacher said, "You have done well enough on your other tests, I'll let you skip the final."
I got into seminary, the same thing happened to me. The last year of my seminary I didn't have to take the finals because I had passed all the previous tests. There was nothing left to prove and so I didn't need to take the final.
And I believe this is what the Lord is saying to His beloved church. When you have gone through all of the tests, when you've gone through the daily quizzes and the routine monthly tests, and you've gone through the mid-term and you've passed everything, I'm going to let you skip the final. There's coming a test at the very end, an eschatological test, you're not going to have to take it. Nothing left to prove. Overcomers are going to miss the final test because they've passed all the others.
Now what is this promise really about? Let me read it to you again. "I will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell upon the earth."
Now there are some components there that you need to grasp. First of all, whatever the test is, it's future. "I also will keep you," this is a future test.
The second thing you need to know is that it is a limited test, "I will keep you from the hour of testing." Which indicates that it has a controlled duration. It's not eternal or permanent.
Another thing we learn about it is it's called "an hour of testing." It is something future, it is something limited, it is something that exposes. It is a test. That's what a test does. A test exposes you, it reveals what you know. It reveals your character. It is a peirasmos, the word used in the Bible for trial, put you on trial to see what you're made of, the word used in the Bible for temptation, it puts you under a severe test to see what you're going to do. It exposes you for what you are.
So, this coming event is something future, something limited in time, something that exposes and it is something worldwide. It's about to come upon not just your city or your province but the whole world. Now there it takes us beyond Philadelphia. It's something worldwide. And then it's something inclusive. Not just the world but the whole world. It's going to get everybody.
And then a last and very important note. It is something for unbelievers. "It is to test those who dwell upon the earth."
You say, "Well now does that refer to unbelievers?" Let me show you something. Turn to chapter 6 verse 10. Here you have the saints who have been martyred for the cause of Christ. They are under the altar and they are crying out with a loud voice, verse 10, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, wilt Thou refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth." That can only refer to unbelievers, right? Those who killed Christians. Look at chapter 8 verse 13, "And I looked and I heard an eagle flying in mid heaven saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe." And that doesn't mean hold up, stop, that means curse, curse, curse. Who? "To those who dwell on the earth." Again it has to refer to unbelievers.
Chapter 11 verse 10, here you have the two witnesses, two witnesses preaching the truth of God. They are murdered for preaching during the time of testing. Verse 8, their dead bodies lie in the street. Verse 10, "And those...here's the same phrase...who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and send gifts to one another because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth." That again, twice used in that verse, to refer to people who were tormented by the preaching of the gospel to the degree that they celebrated and had a party when they were killed and it became such a massive celebration they actually started giving presents to each other.
Turn to chapter 13, here we have the reign of Antichrist and in chapter 13 verse 8 it says, "All...here's the same phrase...who dwell on the earth will worship him." Down in verse 12, "He exercises all the authority of the first beast, here referring to the false prophet, first beast being the Antichrist, and he makes the earth and those who dwell in it...same people, same phrase...to worship the first beast who is the Antichrist."
Down in verse 14, "And he deceives...same phrase...those who dwell on the earth." The Antichrist deceives, of course, the ungodly. In chapter 14, just briefly, verse 6, "And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth." Now do you get the feeling here that this is a technical term for the unbelievers? It is.
Chapter 17 verse 2, the great harlot, the false religious system with whom the kings of the earth, Revelation 17:2 says, committed acts of immorality and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality. Here is the world engulfed in this false religion. And then down in verse 8, the beast that you saw was and is not and is about to come out of the abyss and to go to destruction and those who dwell on the earth will wonder, whose name has not been written in the Book of Life. Those who dwell on the earth becomes a technical term for people whose names are not written in the Book of Life, that is for the ungodly and the unregenerate, the objects of God's wrath because of rejection and rebellion against Him.
Now go back to chapter 3 and you will understand who He is talking about when He says, "This hour of testing, this hour which is about to come upon the wide world including everybody for the purpose of testing those who dwell upon the earth." Let me tell you, folks, it is not to test believers. We skip the final. It cannot be a present time of distress. It cannot be a permanent kind of testing. It cannot be a local kind of testing. It cannot be a partial kind of testing. And it cannot be a time of testing designed for the church. Our Lord is saying to the true church, "I'll keep you out of the future time of testing coming on the earth to test the unbelievers."
The church is under trial now. And the true saints will pass. As Matthew 24:13 says it in the words of Jesus, "He that endures to the end will be delivered." If you endure to the end, you'll be delivered from the final because you passed the other tests.
Now let's go back to this verse and look a little more closely at what we've just seen. "I also will keep you from the hour of testing." This is a time of severe testing that comes on the wicked. What happens...what happens when that comes on the wicked? Two things. Some repent and are saved, right? Some repent and are saved. Go back to chapter 6 verse 9, here are the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word of God, because of the testimony which they had maintained. They cry with a loud voice, "How long, O Lord, holy and true wilt Thou refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth? And there was given to each of them a white robe and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed, even as they had been, should be completed also."
So here are some people who during that time of testing will believe and will be martyred. Some are going to pass the test, they're going to be repentant and they're going to be saved. Look at chapter 7 verse 9, as John looks into the vision he says, "And these things were what I saw. Behold a great multitude which no one could count from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes and palm branches were in their hands and they cry out with a loud voice saying, Salvation to our God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb. And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God." There along with the angels and the elders is a multitude of people who have been saved. When were they saved? Look at verse 14, "And I said, My Lord, You know. And He said to me, These are the ones who came out of the Great Tribulation." That's another term for the time of testing. At least the great...the great expression of fury and tribulation that comes in the latter half of that seven-year period. They came out of that time. They washed their robes. They made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
So we know that when the test hits, some are going to be redeemed. Some will repent and believe. Chapter 13 identifies them again. "If anyone is destined for captivity," verse 10, "to captivity he goes. If anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed." Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints. Again during this time of Antichrist's reign of terror some saints will believe and persevere.
We find the same thing again in chapter 14, verse 4, "These are the ones who have not been defiled with women for they've kept themselves chaste. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been purchased from among men as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb." Down in verse 12 again, the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus, so some will believe.
Chapter 17 verse 14 identifies them again. Talks about the Antichrist and his allies waging war against the Lamb. And the Lamb overcomes them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are called and chosen and faithful.
So, when the test comes, some will repent and be saved. The gospel during that hour of testing will be preached by those two witnesses. It will be preached by 144 thousand Jews. It will be preached by a flying angel in mid heaven. And some will repent and believe and pass the test. Others will reject and be damned.
Go back again to Revelation 6 and see this group. Revelation 6:15, "And the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb for the great day of their wrath has come and who is able to stand?" Here are the rejecters, here are the rebellious and they're trying to hide.
Chapter 9 verse 20, "The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues did not repent of the works of their hands so as not to worship demons and the idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood which can neither see nor hear nor walk. And they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries, nor of their immorality, nor of their thefts."
Chapter 13 verse 7 says that Antichrist in the middle of the verse has authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. And all who dwell on the earth will worship him.
Chapter 16 tells us again of those who do not believe. Verse 11, "They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores and they did not repent of their deeds." Verse 19, again Babylon the great was remembered before God to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath. All the way down to the end God pours out His fury on these people who will not believe. Every island flies away. Every mountain is crushed. Huge hundred pound hailstones falling on those who reject.
You have it in chapter 19 in absolutely graphic terms. The Lord comes with a bloody robe. And He comes in devastation. Verse 17, even the birds are assembled to eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and those who sit on them, the flesh of all men, freemen, slaves, small, great. Now then we see what happens in the test. Judgment is poured out in the world. First there is holocaust after holocaust after holocaust. Then the Antichrist rises in his blasphemous attack on God, wreaks his havoc. Then God Himself moves in in the fury of His own judgments. Through it all the gospel is preached and proclaimed and the test is on and some believe and some reject and some are saved and some are damned. But to the faithful church, Jesus says you won't be there. You already went though your tests, you don't have to take the final.
And then He adds an interesting note. He says, "I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come." It's something near. It's something that is expected. It's something that is anticipated. You get the feeling that it's something that could come at any moment. There's a certain immanency about it that gets nearer every day. It could happen at any moment. Christians have always lived in anticipation of that reality. Romans 13 reminds us of the immanency of the day of testing, the hour of testing. Paul says, "For now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed, the night is almost gone, the day is at hand." It's nearer.
Peter said it. First Peter chapter 4, "The end of all things is at hand, it's near." Paul said it, 1 Corinthians chapter 7 verse 29, "I say this, brethren, the time has been shortened." James said it chapter 5 and verse 8 in no uncertain terms, "The coming of the Lord is at hand." So there's coming an hour of testing. It's near. It's for the ungodly, including Israel.
Daniel calls it the seventieth week, that one seven-year period still left in which Israel will believe and be saved. It is a time when Malachi says God will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers before the coming terrible day of the Lord.
This is the hour of testing for those unsaved in Israel and those unsaved in the Gentile nations. But to the faithful church, I will keep you from the hour of testing. You have been faithful, I'm not going to put you through that. Listen to it, think of it this way, you have been faithful to endure through all your trials, I will not put you in a trial that would kill you. That wouldn't be a reward for your faithfulness.
Some people who would like to have the church going through the hour of testing say that this verse can mean this...I will also keep you within the hour of testing. The verb tereowhich means to keep or guard is followed by a little preposition ek. Ekmeans out of. But some people would like to make it mean "in." There is a word for in, en, there is a word for through, dia. Our Lord didn't use en, He didn't say, "I'll keep you in it." He didn't use dia, "I'll keep you through it." He used ek, "I'll keep you out of it."
Some say the Lord is saying...I will preserve you through it. Well, first of all, I have a question to ask. What kind of preservation are you talking about since the saints get killed by the Antichrist? What do you mean, "I will also keep you through the hour of testing?" In what sense? Since the first group of saints we meet in chapter 6 are already dead and they're under the altar having been martyred asking how long until God avenges their martyrdom? And then how about those in chapter 7 who washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb but also came out of the Great Tribulation and are now in heaven? What happened to them? And the other references I read to you in the book of Revelation that says the saints are going to be killed by the Antichrist?
That doesn't sound to me like a very meaningful promise. If the Lord says I will keep you during, through or in the hour of testing, in fact, I'm going to keep you so well the only thing that will happen to you is you're going to be killed. What? That kind of keeping I can do without.
And somebody will answer, "No, no, no, what He means is I'll keep you saved." What? Do they need to be told that? I'll keep you saved? Salvation is eternal, we know that. Somebody else says, "No, I'll keep you from divine wrath." Oh? Did we ever think we were going to get divine wrath since Romans 8:1 says, "There is therefore now no condemnation," and since 1 Thessalonians 1:10 and 5:9 says we will be saved from the wrath to come? It wouldn't make this any kind of a special promise.
Obviously all Christians are delivered from the wrath to come, the wrath of God. So, in what sense would we be kept THROUGH this thing? Or kept DURING it? That sounds more like a threat if we're all going to die than a promise.
And compare it with chapter 2 verse 19, the letter to Thyatira. He says, "I know about you," and in verse 20 He says, "I have this against you, you tolerate the woman Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess and teaches and leads My bondservants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. And I gave her time to repent and she doesn't want to repent of her immorality. I'll cast her upon a bed of sickness and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation." To a sinning wicked church He says I'll put you in great tribulation. To a loyal, faithful church He says I'll keep you out. The unregenerate church will go into the tribulation, the regenerate church will be kept from it.
He wouldn't be saying...You evil folks at Thyatira, I'm going to throw you into the tribulation. You good folks at Philadelphia, I'm throwing you in there, too. And by the way, you folks in Thyatira may die in the tribulation and by the way, you good folks in Philadelphia may die also.
That's a strange scenario. I think what He's saying is your present trouble is enough and you don't have to take the final. The hour of testing is a time period. It's a period of time. It has limits. It's the same kind of phrase used in John 12:27 by our Lord. Let me just read it to you. John 12:27, Jesus says, "Now My soul has become troubled and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this...what?...hour? But for this purpose I came to this hour."
Jesus said save Me ek, out from this hour. Prevent Me from it. In that other passage written by John, Christ prayed to be saved from the hour of crucifixion. He obviously meant humanly speaking...I don't want to have to go through it. He wasn't praying, "Let me go through it but hang on to Me." He knew God would do that. He wanted to be spared the necessity of even experiencing it. It's the same kind of use of the word ekby the same writer, John. He wasn't praying for strength to go through it, He was praying to get exempted from it. Don't let me go through that hour. Save me out of it, from it being the proper translation.
The little phrase "keep from," tereo ek, means exemption. If He wanted to keep them through it, He could have said that. Ais,dia,encould have said that. But the basic idea of ekis to prevent, to keep from, to take out. The contrary tereoenimplies previous existence within with a view to continuing in. Tereoekwould be the opposite. It would mean continuous existence outside. Enand ekcan't mean the same thing. One means in, the other one means out.
Now there's only one other use of tereoekas a phrase and that's in John 17. It's worth looking at. In John 17:15 Jesus said to the Father, "I do not ask Thee to take them out of the world but to keep them from the evil one." To keep them literally from or outside the power of the evil one. That's the same phrase there. To keep them from the evil one. And the translators of the NAS have translated it accurately...to keep them outside the power of the evil one.
Listen, He's not saying they're My children, I just want You to hang on to them while they're under the complete power of Satan. No, no, Colossians 1:13 says, "When you were saved you were transferred out of the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God's dear Son," right? We're not longer under the sovereign control of Satan. In Acts 26:18 we have moved from the dominion of Satan to God. So, He's not saying, "Father, protect them while they're in the dominion of Satan." He's saying, "Keep them from the dominion of Satan, or the power of evil, or the evil one."
First John 5:19 I think needs to be noted. "We know that we are of God and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one." It is the unregenerate world that lies in the power of the evil one, not believers. So He's not saying here...Oh yes, they do lie in the power of the evil one, but hold on to them while they're there. No, keep them from it. And we believe God answered the prayer of Christ in the saving work which He accomplished on the cross which provides for us escape from the dominion of darkness, the rule of Satan.
So, clearly when you look at the logic of the passage in Revelation and you look at the linguistics of the passage, you are led to conclude that when He says I will keep you from the hour of testing, that is the purest and truest translation and it is the only thing that makes sense by way of a promise. The only other time the phrase is used it has to mean the same thing in John 17 verse 15.
Then the Lord adds this, verse 11, "I am coming quickly." You say, "It doesn't seem too quick to me, it's been a long time." That's your side. From God's perspective it's soon. That's what that means, it's soon.
There are a number of such statements already in these letters. Chapter 2 verse 5, chapter 2 verse 16, chapter 3 verse 3, those probably were warnings of a temporal judgment. The Lord was saying I'm coming, I'm coming...and He meant to you, in that historical context, to act. And He did...He did. Kind of like when He came into the church at Jerusalem and killed Ananias and Sapphira, kind of like when He came into the church at Corinth and brought disease and death to Christians who desecrated the Lord's table. But all those historic comings when He came in judgment even in His own church were previews of the final coming in which false believers and unsaved people in the church will be judged and tested.
So the Lord says it's going to be soon. From our perspective it doesn't seem soon, but a thousand years is like a day to the Lord, so it's soon to Him. Our Lord says I'm coming, which means this whole thing is going to happen, it's going to happen soon.
How do Christians react? Revelation 22, John says it for us in verse 7, Jesus said, "Behold, I am coming quickly," verse 20, "Yes, I'm coming quickly." What did John say? "Amen, come Lord Jesus." He's coming. He's coming for His church. He's coming to take us out of the hour of testing.
Now when He says "I'm coming quickly" here, He can't mean the coming described in Revelation 19 when He comes in bloody garments with a sword to slaughter the world. He's coming to bring the testing time. He's coming to do what it's describing in chapter 6 through 18 and to the church this statement "I'm coming" is not a threat. That's why John says, "Come, come, come." Because it's the coming to deliver the church. It's what we studied in 2 Thessalonians 2:1, it's the coming of our Lord Jesus and our gathering together to Him. This isn't a threat, this is a hopeful event.
So there are some wondrous promises given to this church, and to all faithful churches. You will have the Kingdom opened to you, you will have the blessings of the Kingdom opened to you, you will have evangelistic opportunity and you are promised deliverance from the final hour of testing so that you can live in the hope of the coming of Jesus Christ and fear nothing because when He comes to initiate the hour of testing, it won't come to you. And so you can say with John, "Even so, come, Lord Jesus...Come and gather us to Yourself."
And then sixthly in our little outline the command is given in verse 11...the command. "Hold fast what you have in order that no one take your crown." Now we're getting practical. The practical implications of the Lord soon coming to rescue His church and initiate the testing, He's going to come, rescue the church, gather us with Him, start the testing and He just says...Hold fast what you have.
What's He mean? Remain true, remain faithful, remain holy, same thing He said back in chapter 2 verse 25. What you have, hold fast till I come. Hold on to it. Be faithful, persevere, endure. This is the perseverance of the saints.
Let me tell you something. Only saints who are faithful to the end are saved. Is that not true? That's the perseverance of the saints. You say, "Now wait a minute, I thought we were secured by God. I thought we were secured by the eternal power of God who secures us." That's true. But do you know how He secures us? He secures us by giving us a persevering faith. That's how He secures us. He doesn't secure us by some divine statement that is unrelated to us. The security that we possess is granted to us in an undying faith. That's why 1 John 2:19 says, "They went out from us because they were not of us, if they had been of us they would have remained with us." They would have taken the persecution. They would have endured the difficulty because true Christians are granted by God eternal security through the maintenance of a persevering faith that never dies. So He says persevere.
You say, "Well do we have a part? Sure, we're saved by God's power and yet our power is to believe. We're kept by God's power, but our part is to continue to believe. And just as God calls us to believe initially to be saved, He calls us to keep on persevering, to maintain that salvation. All of it is energized, of course, by the Spirit of God. In Colossians 1 it says it as clearly as it can be said. Verse 22, "He's reconciled you in His fleshly body through death in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach. Yes, if indeed you continue in the faith." That's it.
You say, "Well I know somebody who believed for a while and they don't believe anymore." Not a Christian, never were truly saved because whom God saves He keeps and no man is able to pluck them out of His hand. And He keeps them not against their will but He keeps them by the Spirit of God empowering their will to a sustained faith. So He says hang on with a persevering faith. I love this, "In order that no one take your crown."
What's He talking about? What's your crown? Well, go back to chapter 2 verse 10, end of the verse, "Be faithful until death," same thing...persevere down to the very end and I'll give you the crown of...what?...life. In Greek that's the crown which is life. The crown is eternal life. The crown which is life.
James helps us to understand this when he says in James 1:12, "Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial." He doesn't lose his faith. He will receive the crown of life. What do you mean? He'll receive the crown of his faith which is eternal life.
Second Timothy 4:8 says he'll receive a crown which is righteousness. What does that mean? That our eternal life is righteous.
First Peter 5:4 says he'll receive a crown which is glory. Our eternal glory, eternal righteousness all wrapped up in our eternal life.
So He says, "Look, you're going to miss the final because your faith is real. And I'm going to infuse into you the power of the Spirit of God and I ask you to faithfully persevere, hold what you have in order that no one take your crown, your eternal glorious righteous life."
Beloved, don't you ever think for a moment that there's an imbalance in this issue of eternal security. Yes, you are eternally secure by the power of God. Yes, you must maintain a continual faith. Just as at the moment of your salvation you were saved by the power of God and yet you had to turn from your sin and believe. Remain faithful, hold fast.
And at last then, the counsel. The final words of encouraging instruction. Verse 12, "He who overcomes," who is that? First John 5:5, he is the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. That's a Christian. To the Christian who proves the genuineness of his Christianity because he holds fast to the end, to the Christian, I'll make Him a pillar in the temple of My God and he will not go out from it anymore and I'll write upon Him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem which comes down out of heaven from My God and My new name.
Here is some wonderful encouragement to the true Christian. Four eternal blessings are yours. You folks that endure to the end and I'm going to catch you away and in the gathering together you're not going to go through the final, I'm going to promise you these four things. One, I'll make you a pillar in the temple of My God and you won't go out of it anymore."
In other words, I'm going to make you a permanent pillar in the house of God. What's that? Heaven, the glorious dwelling place of God.
What do you mean a pillar? Several ways to look at it. A pillar would be stability, permanence, immovability, continuance. It also could be honor. A pillar could be carved in such a way as to represent an individual. And in temples very often they did that to honor certain deities...I'm going to give you an eternal place of honor and I'm going to give you an eternal place of stability and permanence. To folks used to earthquakes because they lived on a fault line, they would understand this. To folks who had experienced buildings coming down around their heads and having to move out, this was a clear word. I'm going to put you in a place that will never be shaken and never move and you'll never have to leave an unshakable, permanent, immovable, eternal, stable, secure place.
Secondly, "I will write on Him the name of My God." That just thrills me, absolutely thrills me. When we used to take our little kids off to church when they were small, we used to write their name on a piece of tape and stick it on them. Do you ever do that? You know what that meant? He's mine. He belongs to me. And that's why God wants to write His name on us.
The persecutors may have thought that they were representing God when they attacked these Christians, certainly the Jewish persecutors must have thought that. They were wrong. They didn't belong to God at all. The ones they persecuted did.
So what does He promise? Security forever in heaven and a personal relationship with God. Third thing, "I'm going to write on them the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem which comes down out of heaven from My God." What did that mean? Citizenship. They get eternal citizenship in the capital city of heaven, which is the New Jerusalem. This is another note of security, another note of safety, another note of glory. Revelation 21, we'll get into this later, of course, says, "I saw the holy city, verse 2, the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride, adorned for her husband." Then he goes on to describe this incredible city all the way through chapter 21. You can read all the way from verse 10 to 27, read this incredible description of this city made up of all kinds of jewels and shining in the midst of it is the glory of God and the Lamb is the lamp of it. The capital city of heaven.
So He says I, first of all, am going to put you in a permanent place you'll never have to leave, I'm going to write My name on you, I'm going to give you citizenship in the capital city of heaven. And then He says fourthly, "And I'm going to give you My new name."
Christ's own new name. What does that mean? Well the name of God or the name of Christ means all that He is. We know Christ, we know Christ but we only know what we have read, we haven't seen Him. The moment we see Him His persona will take on utterly new dimensions. And whatever we may have called Him and understood by the name will pale in the reality of what we see. And there will be a new name to describe Him. And He'll give us that new name and we'll be privileged to call Him by it.
Chapter 2 verse 28 He said I'll give you the morning star, that's it, I'll give you Christ, I'll give you Christ in His full glory. Not just the incarnate Jesus that we have seen only with the eye of faith, but the all-glorious God whom we see with the eye of a redeemed body. So that final word is so rich. You folks overcome, you hang in there to the end and I'll make it worth your while, I'll put you in eternal heaven, secure forever and I'll write the name of God on you and I'll write the name of the new Jerusalem on you and I'll give you My new name by which you can address Me forever.
And then He says in verse 13, "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." Boy, this is one I'm glad I heard, you too? The holy, true, sovereign, mighty God looks down on a faithful church, knows their deeds and yet is no threat. In fact He says to the faithful church...I'll open the doors of the Kingdom and pour out blessing and salvation, I'll open the doors of evangelistic opportunity, I'll bless you because you have power, because you have obedience, because you have loyalty, because you have endurance. You have passed all the tests and because of that I will grant you salvation, Kingdom blessings and deliverance from the hour of testing. I'll let you miss the final. And I will take you from this world into a place of eternal secure stable glory, I will take you to a permanent relationship with Me and you will know My name and Mine will be written on you and the name of the city of Jerusalem. Oh the blessedness of being a faithful church.
Do you see the power of these letters? They should win over an unfaithful church...one, by the letters to the unfaithful churches, that should frighten an unfaithful church...two, by the letters to the faithful churches, that should woo by virtue of the immensity of the promises an unfaithful church to faithfulness.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - UK guard Larry Warford describes his teammates on the offensive line as nice guys.
"I'm not a mean guy, by any means. I see them the same way," Warford said after Tuesday's practice. "Off the field, you can come up to any one of us and start talking and we'll joke around with you. We're fun guys to be around."
So nice in fact, Kentucky coach Joker Phillips has jokingly questioned if a couple of the younger offensive lineman talk. Zach West and Darrien Miller are both from Lexington, and by most accounts, are quiet, mild-mannered guys.
"I thought they would try to text each other during the game," Phillips said on Monday at his weekly press conference. "They don't talk. They don't. They don't talk. But they do on game day."
Warford suggested that when it's game time, he and the his teammates take on different personalities.
"When we come onto the field, it's like all of us are a different person."
Just how different?
"Half of us turn evil," Warford said. "Zach (West) just turns crazy. I'm just mad all the time. Kevin (Mitchell) doesn't want to talk to anybody. It's almost like schizophrenia. We're just completely different guys on the field."
Warford also said he's in better shape this season, which means he's better suited for UK's new hurry up offense.
"When you go for so many plays, at that pace, it's tough, I'm not going to lie," he said. "Last year I wouldn't be able to do this. I got in such better condition."
UK has been using a no-huddle offense, which means once the previous play is blown dead by the officials, the Wildcats hurry to the line of scrimmage. Warford laughed about sometimes having to wait a few seconds while quarterback Maxwell Smith looks to the sidelines for the next play call.
"My thighs start burning and I'm like 'Come on!'" he said, of having to stay in his stance.
"There's times I'm yelling, 'Call the play! Hurry!' My legs are just dying and I'm getting mad."
But he said a little pain is worth it.
"We've been putting up some good numbers. It does gash defenses That's one way of looking at it," Warford said.

MTV's 'Buckwild' Star Shain Gandee Found Dead in West Virginia
Shain Gandee and two others found dead after four wheeling early Sunday.
Apr. 1, 2013 -- Shain Gandee, one of the stars of the MTV Reality Show "Buckwild," was found dead today after he left a bar to go four-wheeling in a rural part of West Virginia.
Gandee, 21, of Sissonville, W. Va., was last seen early Sunday morning at Larry's Bar with his uncle David Gandee. According to the Kanawha County Sheriff's office, the two left the bar around 3 a.m. to go four-wheeling in Shain Gandee's Ford Bronco.
Family members spent Sunday searching for the missing men and alerted authorities late in the day.
Cpl. B.D. Humphreys with the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office tells ABCNews.com that roughly 30 hours after Shain Gandee and his uncle left the Sissonville bar, county dispatch recieved a call of a disabled vehicle in a rural part of the county.
Late this morning, deputies used all terrain vehicles to access the area, finding Gandee's Ford Bronco in the mud. Authorities found three bodies inside the SUV, positively identifying two of the victims as Shain Gandee and David Gandee. The third person has not been identified and although the cause of death is still under investigation, there was no sign of foul play.
In a statement, Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper said the news was devastating for the small town near Charleston.
"It's a very sad day for the Sissonville area and for these families," he said. "This is a small community, and most of us know directly members of these families. We're keeping them in our hearts and prayers."
A spokesperson for MTV released the following statement to ABCNews.com
"We are shocked and saddened by the terrible news about Shain Gandee, and those involved in this tragic incident. We are waiting for more information, but at this time our main concern is for the Gandee family and their friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. Shain had a magnetic personality, with a passion for life that touched everyone he met and we will miss him dearly."
On the show's website, Shain Gandee was described as "the sociable and loyal High School Prom King who loves four-wheeling, but loves his parents most of all."
The show first premiered on MTV in January and was criticized for depicting negative stereotypes of West Virginians. Sen. Joe Manchin wrote a letter to the president of MTV before the show aired criticizing it for encouraging youth to misbehave for the camera.
"You preyed on young people, coaxed them into displaying shameful behavior – and now you are profiting from it. That is just wrong," said Manchin.
Some television critics even called the show the "Redneck Jersey Shore," which debuted in the same time slot the "Jersey Shore" once held on MTV.
The cable network announced in February that the show would return for a second season. No word on how the death of Gandee will affect that plan.

A couple weeks ago my mom gave me a huge bag of grapefruits. Living in Florida this sort of thing happens often. People have tons of citrus growing in their yards this time of year so bags of grapefruits and oranges are doled out like free candy! I ate as many as I could but eventually I got grapefruited out and the 4 or 5 that were left started to get very overripe. Instead of throwing them out, I thought they would make a delicious juice! Especially since they were so sweet.
Since I don't have a juicer, I just put a sieve over a bowl and started squeezing away. I ended up with a pint of juice! Hey not too shabby, because its not cheap in the store. If the juice is too tart, add a little stevia to sweeten it up. Since the fruit was so ripe it was nice and sweet! I had this lovely mason jar on hand from SKS Bottle, and it was perfect for my country style juice.
The rinds also serve another great purpose. Toss a few down your garbage disposal and grind away. The citrus cleans the shoot and leaves your kitchen smelling like spring! So don't throw away that overripe citrus!
Happy spring everyone!

Educate To Elevate
Urban League leads summit on education innovation.
For reasons not easily explained, educating our children has become one of this nation's biggest challenges, It seems a little odd that we struggle so hard to help our children prepare for their lives as citizens when public education has been one of this nation's founding principles and great strengths. At any rate, educating our kids requires commitment, resources and, more often all the time, innovation.
Thursday and Friday of this week, the Urban League of Greater Madison is offering a two-day education forum and summit in partnership with the United Way of Dane County, the Madison Metropolitan School District and Planning for Greatness. There are some big name speakers, some highly respected experts and an agenda aimed at stimulating constructive dialogue and action on what Madison can do to close the achievement gap and ensure academic success for all children. The support of the business community is especially impressive. But credit to the Urban League for leading. We invite you to participate in Educate to Elevate.

Now hiring
It's scary out there right now. It seems that every day brings more news of massive layoffs and people losing their homes to foreclosure. College graduates are being flung into one of the worst job markets in decades and just about everyone is aware that things could get a whole lot worse. President Obama has responded to the depressed economy he inherited from the Bush administration with an economic stimulus package that would invest hundreds of billions of dollars to kick-start business, save homes and get people back to work. With that said, here are seven existing green jobs that you can get today and that should be stable enough to see you through the hard times. (Text: Shea Gunther)

One of two handheld 360x180 HDR images I shot on the East Ridge of Mount Russell. The ridge is rated as a Class 3. Reminds me of a John Krakaur quote concerning Denali: "The west buttress of McKinley is often said to have all the technical challenges of a long walk in the snow. That is more or less true, but it is also true that if you should, say, trip on a boot lace at the wrong moment during that walk, you will probably die."

I made this recipe on May 4th, 2013 for a baby shower and it won raves! I think I'd sent the recipe to various people viae-mail! The first time I'd made this recipe was when I'd taken it to the hospital for our Volunteer Resources Office! The coordinator told me that the cake won waves there, too! this recipe is wonderful for a brunch or for any special occasion!I'd used: 2 to three packages (12-oz.-each) of refrigerated cinnamon rolls with the glaze enclosed. I purposely used the chopped nuts as optional as there are people who don't care for nuts!I did grease and flour a 13x9x2" baking pan and set the icing included in the tubes to glaze later. I pressed the rolls into prepared pan, sealing the spaces firmly.Those were the adjustments I made for this recipe and I was very pleased the way it turned out! I drizzled the icing over the top of the coffee cake to cool! Truly, this cake DID resemble a large cinnamon roll!I used my recent Quick Cooking Annual Recipe book to bake this cake and I printed out the recipe by going on the Taste of Home website! Dawn E.

This recipe is good, it is very rich and it should be called Cinnamon Roll Cheese Cake.

I made this recipe for the first time yesterday & I took it in today to the Volunteer 0ffice at the local hospital where i do volunteer work! I was told that this cake won raves! I will definitely be making this cake time and again! I used two 12 oz. tubes of cinnamon rolls & placed the slices in rows & then pressed the rolls together to form a crust! It worked out well for me! I used the pouches of iicing to drizzle over the coffee cake after it was baked! Thank you for sharing this recipe-it is a wonderful treat to prepare!

Very good

I have made this recipe many times since the first...and everyone wants the recipe..it is the easiest ever. I consider myself a "scratch baker" tried and true, but this one has sold me on shortcuts..I've also managed to cut calories by using the reduced fat version of cinnamon rolls, light cream cheese, sugar blend all without changing the flavor. It doesn't last long so never a need to keep it refrigerated.

Woody Allen won the Academy Award for Midnight In Paris, but it's not clear if he knows yet. Allen wasn't in the house to accept his award, because something much more important was going on:
Letty Aronson, producer of Midnight in Paris and Woody Allen's sister, said she hadn't talked to the filmmaker but was "pretty sure" he knew he won for best original screenplay.
"He was saying that the NBA All-Star Game was on at the same time so he might have to turn the channel," Aronson said. "But I bet Soon Yi told him he won."
The All-Star Game needed every last viewer it got, as it just barely beat the Dayton 500 rain delay in the ratings.

Reds sign Cuban starting pitcher
Righthander Raisel Iglesias Agrees To 7-Year Contract
SAN FRANCISCO - Cincinnati Reds President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Walt Jocketty today announced the signing of Cuban free agent starting RHP Raisel Iglesias to a 7-year contract through the 2020 season.
Iglesias, 24, will join the organization once visa issues are resolved.
"He's a tremendous athlete, a converted shortstop. He throws 94-96 with two quality breaking pitches, a curveball and power slider, and has the makings of a quality changeup," Jocketty said. "He has four quality pitches, and our scouts feel he can be a starter and be a starter very soon. What we've tried to develop here is pitching and defense. The more pitching we can acquire, the deeper we can get, the more flexibility it gives us going forward."
Jocketty added, "It was a great organizational effort to get this done, and we're very excited about it. The decision was based on the evaluation of our scouts, the same group of guys who went to see (Aroldis) Chapman. I guarantee you we saw him pitch more than any other club. I have tremendous respect and appreciation for the evaluation of our scouts. They're hard-working and very diligent."
Iglesias pitched for Isla de la Juventud in Cuba's National Series for 3 seasons and compiled an 8-12 record and 3.47 ERA over 5 starts and 83 relief appearances (223ip, 202h, 115bb, 169k, 11hr).

I am trying to get a PS3 Sixaxis controller to work with Ubuntu 12.04. The ubuntu wiki page for sixaxis says to install QtSixA, which I did. The issue now is actually using the controller. I installed "SuperTux 2" to test it out. Normally, SuperTux says there is no joystick. When I plug in the PS3 Controller, and press scan, it then displays all of the controls and their assigned buttons. I can then click on a action and it will prompt me to press the button I want to assign. The issue here that pressing buttons on the controller doesn't do anything. I can't assign any of actions to a button on the controller.
The same goes for PCSX. I can configure the controller, and select the Sony Playstation(R)3 Controller from the drop down, but when I try to assign a button, pressing buttons on the PS3 controller doesn't do anything.
On the web, I see tons of guides on how to connect with Bluetooth, but my computer doesn't have a bluetooth dongle, so I just want to connect via USB.
In addition, QtSixA can see the controller too. I can "configure default profile", which I have tried, but SuperTux 2 nor PCSX react any differently...
UPDATE: Following the Ubuntu Community Guide for Sixaxis guide, I tried
sudo apt-get install libusb-dev libusb-0.1-4 xserver-xorg-input-joystick, and then compiled sixpair. Running
sudo ./sixpair complains about enabling bluetooth, then SuperTux 2 can't find the controller anymore when I click scan.
After reading this article, I found out I have to press the PS button to get it working... Well, that worked fine for using the controller as a POINTER device. I can now make my mouse on screen dance using the analog sticks. I am still unsure of how to get it working with SuperTux 2 and PCSX though...
When I didn't have
xserver-xorg-input-joystick installed, pressing the PS button caused it connect to the PS3 in the other room as controller 2. I am very confused about what is going on right now...
