When you read the news, nowadays, it can often feel like the entire world is out to take something from you. With prices going up, cyber attacks becoming more and more common, and even your home being at risk, it can be hard to be comfortable. Of course, the most important parts of your life need to bed protected the most. So, to help you out, this post will be exploring some of the best ways to achieve this goal.
- Your Home
The first area to give some thought to is the building you call home. From criminals to bad weather, there are loads of things which can damage your home and the possessions within. Thankfully, though, protecting it nice and easy.
- Cameras: In the past, most people wouldn't be able to afford CCTV to protect their home. Nowadays, though, this sort of product has gotten a lot cheaper and can provide much higher quality images than the cameras of yesterday. This can give you some of the best evidence you could ever have.
- Locks: Next up, it's time to think about the way that you lock your home, as this part of a building can be greatly enhanced by new technology. Digital locks remove the risk of keys being lost, while also giving you the chance to change your entry requirements at a moment's notice.
- Insurance: Sometimes, you won't be able to stop things going wrong, and the best chance that you'll have to recovery is some preparation. Investing in home coverage is a great way to make sure that you can get out of a property jam. Of course, though, you'll want to do some research before buying this sort of product.
- Your Car
Along with the home you live in, most people will rely heavily on their car during day to day life. Going to school or work, picking up the kids, and even buying your groceries will all be very hard without one.
- Tracking: Unfortunately, modern car thieves are always ahead of the game when it comes to the new methods manufacturers use to keep them out. When you can't avoid theft, having a way to track your motor is the next best thing. GPS tracking is nice and cheap and is very worthwhile.
- Cameras: Like your home, your car can also be protected with the help of some cameras, though you'll have to look for the right features. Being able to view your footage from your smartphone will be very helpful if your car is stolen. Along with this, though, you might want motion detection, too. This will give you a great way to be notified if someone is breaking in.
- Insurance: In most countries, insurance for your car is a legal requirement, and you won't be allowed to drive on the road without it. Finding the best coverage for your car will take a lot of research. But, once you have it, you will be able to rest assured that you won't be left without transport.
- Your Money
Finally, it's time to think about arguably the most important tool you have; money. This part of life is essential, especially for those with families, and you will want to protect the money you make and save. Below, you can find some examples of the best ways to do this, though it could be worth doing some learning, too.
- Trusting The Bank: One of the biggest mistakes people can make with their money is ignoring the advice their bank gives them. This sort of company is very interested in keeping your money safe and secure and will work hard to give you good advice. Along with this, they will often be happy to give you free information with just the work of a phone call.
- Always Think Twice: Of course, the bank can't make all of your choices for you, and you may even hear two different opinions which make it hard to choose. In this sort of situation, it's a good idea to think twice. This can be through some research or the help you get from the bank, as long as you make sure you're not accepting the very first option.
Hopefully, this post will inspire you to start working a lot harder on the important parts of your life. A lot of people worry about these elements of existence. But, this is a shame, as it doesn't have to be this way, and you just need to put a little effort in if you want to make a difference for yourself.

13 And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died[a] so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died. I Thessalonians 4:13-14 NLT
I've learned that at some point in life, scriptures like the one above requires an experience to really grasp its truth, and see the manifestation of God's word come alive in our life. Here's a brief explanation of my personal experience.
When I arrived in my mother's hospital room on December 18, 2003, I knew time was of the essence. I made the most of it by staying at her beside, and preparing her to transition from this earthly life to her home in glory. I focused on releasing her and assuring her that I would be all right because I was in hands of my REAL FATHER. I knew that was her major concern, being her only child. I could feel her sorrow, look into her eyes, and see the pain wrought from the thought of leaving me behind and naturally alone; yet knowing I would never be alone, nor forsaken by Abba Father.
On December 26, 2003, she quietly and peacefully went to sleep. Her transition from this life to her new life in paradise changed my life forever. This is the greatest pain I have ever experienced. Yes, greater than childbirth. BUT, God's GRACE proved sufficient for me. He gave me supernatural strength to handle all the details for the Homegoing celebration—there was no one else (no sisters or brothers) to do it—my Daddy came through just for me.<
When death's painful arrows pierce your soul, especially at the loss of a dear mother, I encourage you to seek relief in the promise and presence of God. My choice of relief was to apply the Word of God. I vividly recalled how the Word of the Lord came to me a few days before I left for Louisiana. I heard very clearly in my spirit while I was sleep, "My grace is sufficient for you." It was my Father's assurance that He would carry me through the experience I was about to face. I had to learn how to grieve with hope! It was now time for me to really believe the Word of God, and stand firmly trusting Him to carry me through.
In retrospect, I learned from the life of faith, hope and love my mother had lived before me. I remembered that for ten years she had lived with hopeful grief. This same hope brought her through two major surgeries and months of chemotherapy. This same hope empowered her to live life to the fullest in spite of her prognosis. Witnessing my mother's faith and hope in Jesus Christ until the end assured me of her eternal life, and increased my trust in a Sovereign God. For the first time, I literally experienced the sufficiency of God's grace in my weakness.
Experiencing the pain caused by my mother's passing seemed unbearable, but it is the hope of eternal life that made the difference (I Thess. 4:13-15). When facing death, hope can be the bridge that makes crossing over to the other side a more peaceful process. Whether three years, or five years, or 10, 20, or 30, who is to say? Only by the grace of God, does the grieving process end. Surely, the more you hold steadfast to His Word, the greater your assurance will be in His faithfulness to keep His promises. Sure, for me, I still feel the pain of separation at Mother's Day; seeing those whose mothers are still alive. Nevertheless, I have learned pain management through WORD medication, and sharing love with others—the mothers of my local church, and sharing my experience to encourage others through the grieving process.
I just want to remind you: God will comfort and strengthen his people in times of sorrow.
His Word is truth… His grace is sufficient! He is the God of all comfort! He is the Prince of Peace! He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you! You are the apple of His eye!
His daughter,
In memory of Mrs. Deva Mae Franks Horn (July 12, 1932 ~ December 26, 2003)

Clearly...there is a PLAN.
August Theme
Faces, the Human Form & Characters
August 1
Art Challenge: Expressive Faces
Journal Prompt: What I see clearly now
There are times in your life when the plan for your future is hard to make out. THIS, my friends, is not one of those times. The path is clear and the way is lit up with signs flashing "this way - yes, you - This WAY!!"
I love when that happens.
I glued down a piece of underpaper to my page. There were weird edges that did not cover everything so I pounced on some pink paint to create coverage to the edges.
I grabbed my favorite sketching pencil and sketched a face in the middle of all that color.
Using a black Stabilo pencil I went over the lines getting ready for my waterbrush.
After I was satisfied with the dark lines, I added a few accents with my white pen.
Calling her DONE and busy reading the signs.

President Obama has vowed to do whatever it takes to try to release former presidential candidate and New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie from this desperate hostage situation.
FBI profilers examined facial expressions and ticks that Christie displayed while standing behind candidate Donald Trump at a recent Republican rally.
"It was clear that there was something very wrong. The pleading and desperation in the mans' eyes were just the first indicator," said FBI analyst Bill Cendeck. "We see this kind of thing a lot in hostage and domestic abuse cases. Though it would appear that the victim is free to move about and could escape on their own, the psychological terror that has been inflicted upon them keeps them frozen."
"It seems Christie has gotten himself into a situation he just can't get out of on his own," said the leader of Seal Team 6. "You can see the terror and abuse that man has gone through at the hands of Trump. We can't allow any American to suffer that way. We're gonna' bring him home to Jersey."
No word yet on how Seal Team 6 plans to extricate Christie but our prayers are with them.

I've been washing them in the machine, large load with 1/2 cup bleach. Then I'll run them through another rinse cycle. They get several weeks of air dry time before use.
Should I be rinsing them again in RO/DI water? I'm noticing my SB breaks out in what I believe to be diatoms, 2-3 days after replacing the socks. Which is strange because it's only the DT SB where this is happening.
I am running carbon/purigen in a reactor.

|[jira] Updated: (DERBY-2977) Replication: Add a ReplicationMaster controller that will manage replication on the master side
|Thu, 27 Sep 2007 11:09:51 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2977?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Jørgen Løland updated DERBY-2977: --------------------------------- Attachment: repli_logbuffer_v2.diff repli_logbuffer_v2.stat Version 2 of the proof of concept code showed a problem with the way log is appended to the repliation buffer. Currently, LogToFile#appendLogRecord is used to write log to the replication master log buffer. However, the LogAccessFile class that wraps write operations to log file also write checksums. We need these checksums at the slave because without them, the log instants on the slave and master will differ, in turn making recovery impossible (undo operations refer to a specific instant, which will not be correct). The attached patch, repli_logbuffer_v2.*, changes this erroneous behavior. With this patch, log is appended to the repliation log buffer in LogAccessFile, not LogToFile like now. The patch modifies the following files: M java/engine/org/apache/derby/impl/services/replication/buffer/LogBufferElement.java M java/engine/org/apache/derby/impl/services/replication/buffer/ReplicationLogBuffer.java The buffer now accepts chunks of log records from LogAccessFile#writeToLog (i.e., appended to replication buffer in the same method that writes the log to disk) instead of single log records from LogToFile#appendLogRecord M java/engine/org/apache/derby/impl/services/replication/slave/ReplicationLogScan.java Modified the slave-side log parser to read the new chunk of log record format M java/engine/org/apache/derby/impl/services/replication/master/MasterController.java M java/engine/org/apache/derby/iapi/services/replication/master/MasterFactory.java Modified appendLog signature to accept log from LogAccessFile instead of from LogToFile M java/engine/org/apache/derby/impl/store/raw/log/LogAccessFile.java Can be set inReplicationMasterMode, in which log is appended to MasterFactory M java/engine/org/apache/derby/impl/store/raw/log/LogToFile.java Removed the code that appends log to replication log buffer, and tells LogAccessFile to go into replication master mode when needed.

In honor of the 31st Annual California Avocado Festival that just took place, I thought I'd share with you one of my favorite avocado paleo breakfasts.
I grew up hating avocado, which is funny because it is now one of my favorite foods. I think I began loving avocado when I started to eat sushi in college (RA Sushi on Mill Avenue was the go-to sushi spot for us Sun Devils at ASU!). Since then, avocado has become a staple for me eating a primarily paleo diet. Avocados are high-protein, high-fiber, and contain high levels of vitamins and healthy fat content.
Hope you enjoy this easy, simple recipe! What are your favorite avocado breakfast meals? Let me know in the comment below.
Serving size: 2
- 2 ripe avocados
- 4 organic eggs
- Freshly ground pepper
- Sprinkle of sea salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or dill (or both)
- 2 strips of cooked bacon, crumbled (optional). Be sure to check labels – I love Applegate Farm's Organic Uncured Sunday Bacon.
- Drizzle of hot sauce (optional) – My favorite is Frank's RedHot and it contains only two ingredients.
- Sprinkle of Nutritional Yeast. Nutritional yeast contains tons of B-vitamins, folic acid, selenium, zinc, and protein. You can learn more about it here. Please note – not everyone considers nutritional yeast paleo, but it is vegan and gluten-free.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Slice avocados in half, and remove pit. Use a spoon to scoop out about 1-2 tablespoons of avocado (be sure to remove enough so the egg will fit snugly in the center).
- Place the avocados in a small baking dish, packed together tightly.
- Crack an egg into each avocado half – this can be a bit tricky, so try to crack the yolk in first, then allow the egg whites to fill up rest of avocado.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. (Cooking time will vary based on the size of your eggs and avocados, but make sure the egg whites have set)
- Remove from oven. Season with your choice of toppings including sea salt, freshly ground pepper, chives/dill, crumbled bacon, hot sauce and nutritional yeast.

Bass Church
For over two years, Bass Church was the largest recurring electronic music monthly in the southeastern US, attracting anywhere between 1,000 and 2,000 paying attendees to every event. Their headliners included a number of heavyweights in the international DJ music community such as Skream, Joker, Datsik, Coki, and Starkey – among many others. The event was widely recognized for its innovative, taste-making lineups.
For most of that time, I handled the the event's design needs, which included printed advertising materials, merchandise, billboards, web graphics, and branding development.
Bass Church has since come to an end but it was a wild ride and I enjoyed working on their projects a great deal. I take a lot of pride in having helped the event reach the thousands of music fans it advertised to every month. Working with Bass Church always required speedy turnarounds and last minute alterations, but the campaigns we ran were wildly successful and the extra effort definitely paid off.
Below is just a small sample of the numerous posters and handbills I created for Bass Church.

Familiar with Snus? No? Not terribly surprising, as it has struggled to gain an appreciable foothold here in the States. For those unfamiliar, Snus are small packets of tobacco, like tiny little tea bags, that you place inside your upper lip. Think of dip, only without the mess, or the spitting. (Still sounds gross compared to vaping watermelon jolly rancher, but to each their own.)
If you have seen them you will perhaps have noticed they carry as many onerous warnings of death and destruction as cigarettes. This is in spite of the fact that they are far, far less harmful than combustible cigarettes (sound familiar?). So Swedish Match, the company that created Snus, has applied to the FDA what is known as a Modified Risk Tobacco Product designation. In non-governmentese, it means they could have a label that could read:
"no tobacco product is safe, but this product presents substantially lower risks to health than cigarettes."
Of course the FDA, being the FDA, is taking far to long to rule on this. They have kicked the ball down the field to an unspecified distant point. Which at least that means they didn't say no…yet.
To give you an idea, its estimated that 200,000 smoking related deaths could be prevented each year in Europe if folks would switch to Snus at the same rates of use as in Sweden (where it was invented). But, since Snus would be competition for Nicorette Gum, and the FDA head of tobacco products is a former lobbyist for GlaxoSmithKline, who makes Nicorette Gum, I would not hold my breath on this one either.
The Modified Risk Tobacco Product designation application submitted by the makers of Snus is the first one the FDA has ever accepted. Comparing the results of studies done on Snus and electronic cigarettes seems to indicate that the two products enjoy similar levels of harm reduction from combustible cigarettes.
Public Health England, a government agency, released a report stating that e-cigarettes are estimated to be 95% less harmful than smoking.
While for smokeless tobacco, like Snus:
Use of Swedish and American smokeless tobacco confers only 0.1% to 10% of the risks of smoking.
Meaning that if Snus's Modified Risk Tobacco Product designation is approved, it should be even easier to get approval for e-cigs, as they are at least as safe, and quite possibly safer. Currently, electronic cigarettes are not supposed to be advertised as a safer alternative to smoking (despite the scientific evidence available so far), so a Modified Risk Tobacco Product designation would change that.

Toddlers new-found mobility and natural curiosity make this a time of tremendous physical and mental growth. While they may not be able to easily communicate vocally, their language knowledge virtually explodes. They interact with other children and develop social skills. They start climbing everything in sight, stimulating large muscle growth and coordination. They need hands-on activities that allow them to explore, inquire and discover solutions first hand.
Our experience has taught us that children have a tremendous desire to learn. They can absorb what can seem like tremendous amounts of information -- colors, shapes, words, sign language, and object identification.
The Kids 'R' Kids Toddler Program continues the emotional and educational development that began in the infant suite. Our Toddler program follows a daily lesson plan, designed to meet all your child's developmental needs. The curriculum focuses on building language, creativity, fine and gross motor skills, and social interaction. Most importantly, we are teaching children how to learn in a non-competitive, non-judgemental environment.
To keep parents involved, we prepare a written Daily Report to update you on curriculum, meals, naps, toilet training, and other daily activities. Our goal is for your toddler to mature into a pre-schooler ready, willing, and able to take the next step toward positive and healthy development.

A great beginner project, because of its simple design this quilt also poses a good opportunity to practice different quilting designs.
From very simple to advanced, this is also a chance for more experienced quilters to showcase their quilting skills.
Note: Instructions are based on a finished quilt size of 90 x 110". However, yardage and cutting requirements are actually given for 5 different sizes of quilts, from crib to queen. In any case, what is important here is to learn the technique. So you should feel free to change the size both in the width and/or length, as you see fit.

I started this when I lived in Brooklyn and struggled for grace in a city that grants moments of beauty and ugliness breathtakingly close to one another. Now I live in a place where things are a different kind of ugly and the beauty is pedestrian. I struggle with that.

I went back and shot it again yesterday...the glass is still there, weeks later.
I wish it had been a brighter day when I first took this, what color there is would have been a bit sharper. But one of my rules is that I may not go for the same shot twice. Because I pass the same set up day after day, it would be tempting to keep shooting until it is "perfect" to me and I am just obsessive enough with visual stuff that I would.
So, the broken glass remains, and the picture is as it is.

Of all regions of the United States, the South seems to be the one that produces the most ANR-interested women. I'm mostly convinced about this but could use a little more intel. Any godly, caring, down-to-earth nurse with southern belle characteristics would likely make an outstanding ANR-enjoying wife.
Lord willing, I'll uncover the same about Canada. I'm guessing it'll be a part of The Great White North that's homologous to the American South.

A) The Criminal would be sentenced to death/killed. He/She cannot do any more crimes/offenses.
B) The number of criminals go down.
C)Almost everyone is scared of death which makes less criminals due to their fear of death.
D) If he/she is not killed he/she will have around 2% (as of 1999) chance of escaping which will have a chance to do the same crime.
This is a policy topic evaluating the advantages/disadvantages of capital punishment. As such it should be evaluated within a framework of net benefits. This means the side offering the most compelling advantages verses the disadvantages of that case should win.
The negative offers the counter plan of life imprisonment without parole in a federal maximum security prison for crimes that would be punishable by death in my opponents, "world." This approach solves the same problems at least as well as the plan of execution, but has a critical unique advantage that execution doesn't, no one can be wrongfully executed.
Having identified how the negative would deliver criminal justice in those cases without the death penalty, I will answer my opponents observations in sequence.
Aff observation A) "The Criminal would be sentenced to death/killed. He/She cannot do any more crimes/offenses."
Recidivism: My opponent argues that an executed criminal cannot commit any further crimes. However, the negative case for life imprisonment provides the same benefit, or advantage. And while my opponent contends that 2% of prisoners escape, this is not correct.
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics in 2013 escapees were less than one percent of the entire US prison population, and given that the US leads the world in numbers of people incarcerated less prisoners escape in other nations, as a derivative or function of that nations populace.
Moreover, inmates in maximum security prisons will escape far, far less frequently than the number that escape from the entire prison population.
Given this information, the Aff case has negligible advantage in crime prevention, or recidivism, by executing the convict versus life imprisonment as put forward by the negative case.
Aff observation B) "The number of criminals go down"
This is not relevant. We have already seen that the impact of execution versus life imprisonment as put forward by the negative is negligible. To further extend that, the reduction of prison populations by executing them is categorically irrelevant. In the negative, "world" these convicts go to max security prison for life rather than be executed.
Simply put, the same criminals are kept off the street in the negative world, and no one need be executed.
Aff observation C) "Almost everyone is scared of death which makes less criminals due to their fear of death."
First counter observation: Not everyone is afraid to die, so capital punishment will not prevent murder by those that do not fear death, categorically. This also extends to any situation where the offending party does not expect the victim of the crime to die. If the offending party does not expect the victim to die, capital is not a deterrent, because the criminal has no expectation that the crime could put them at risk of execution, again, categorically.
Moreover, the evidence that capital punishment is not an effective deterrent is quite robust. A recent University of Colorado Study showed that 88% of criminologist do not believe capital punishment is an effective deterrent.
My opponent looses this argument on impact analysis, given that we can see cases where, categorically, the death penalty has no impact as a deterrent, and that expert criminologists overwhelmingly believe such punishment to be poor deterrent. Since there is no meaningful deterrent advantage to execution versus imprisonment, and execution carries the disadvantage of executing innocent people in some cases, which cannot be reversed, (life imprisonment can be reversed if the convict is exonerated) my opponent lost this argument.
Aff observation D) If he/she is not killed he/she will have around 2% (as of 1999) chance of escaping which will have a chance to do the same crime.
For one, this is the same argument as the first Aff observation, just in a new wine-skin.
This was addressed earlier, but to reiterate; the number of escapes out of the the entire US prison populace is less than 1% (0.1334%) as of 2013 according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Moreover, inmates in a maximum security environment are much less likely to escape even than this percentage, to the point of approaching infinitely less likely. There is next to no chance that such an inmate could ever escape, and they cannot be be paroled. The only way they could ever leave prison in the negative "world," would be exoneration. The aff lost on impact analysis here too!
This brings me to the negative unique advantages and the affirmative unique disadvantages:
Affirmative unique disadvantage 1) Permanence of any errors.
Justice systems err in conviction some of the time. As of 2014, since 1973 at least 144 death row inmates have been exonerated. A study highlighted in a Newsweek article that year (2014) suggest that at least 4.1% of all American inmates are innocent.
In the Aff world, those executed will be, well, executed. You can release someone from prison if they are proven innocent, but you cannot give them life back if you have killed them. This is a massive miscarriage of justice on the part of the Aff, and it is unique to the Aff case. In the Negative world, this never happens, ever!
Affirmative disadvantage 2) Global reputation
Over half of all countries and the overwhelming number of developed countries do not practice capital punishment for the reasons I have provided. This damages our reputation globally, and particularly with European allies. Even the Russian Federation does not practice capital punishment in any form.
Unique negative advantages: the opposite of the affirmative disadvantages.
Negative advantage 1) Not permanent is cases of error.
This is simple as it gets. When someone in prison, even for life, is exonerated, the are free, and can legally action the party that harmed them by putting them in jail to the full extent of local/that nation's law.
Global reputation: Any nation disposing of the death penalty improves that nations standing in the world.
for those of you that followed the Wikipedia link I provided on the Aff disad 2, take your given red nation in that handy info graphic and turn it green, and rejoice at joining the rest of the developed world at being humane and sensible.
Since the Aff lost every claim it made on impact analysis, has unique disadvantages that the negative doesn't, and does not provide those inverse advantage that the negative world does, voters are highly urged to pass a negative ballot.
Go Warriors!

Join us for our October meeting where we will have a presentation on the Delaware I-495 Bridge Emergency Evaluation and Repair.
Presentation Synopsis:
The 38-span parallel bridge supporting I-495 over the Christina River in Wilmington, DE was closed to traffic on June 2, 2014 due to serious substructure settlement and lateral displacement of the existing pile foundations which resulted in gross deformation of the superstructure and insufficient live load carrying capacity. The bridge closure affected over 90,000 daily motorists and impacted the flow of goods to and from the nearby Port of Wilmington.
A team, composed of DelDOT, FHWA, AECOM and J.D. Eckman, was assembled by June 3, 2014 to restore the bridge to service as soon as possible to minimize traffic disruptions. Traffic was restored on the southbound structure in 59 days and full traffic returned to the bridge in 83 days. The presentation provides an overview of the operational, design and construction challenges encountered in handling this emergency including: the initial and long term operational responses; early structural and geotechnical investigations; assessment of the geotechnical and structural failures; and the critical decisions that framed the selected intermediate and permanent repair methods. The presentation will highlight the lessons learned and results of the fast-paced design and construction to restore the bridge to service over a month ahead of schedule.

Happy Monday! Did everyone have a sweet long weekend for the 4th? We kept it pretty low key. Lounging at the pool, some World Cup soccer, quality time with some people we love. It was nice and slow. I had to work a little bit - two fun photoshoots coming up and wedding prep for my fall brides! I'm so excited about my upcoming weddings in Charlottesville and DC. Can't wait to share more.
In honor of Independence Day, I came up with some modern red, white, and blue wedding inspiration. A lot of the time as a wedding planner, I am drawn to neutral palettes and soft tones, but there's something so rich and beautiful about punchy red paired with a slate blue.

Al-Samawa were one of the ten teams to participate in the first ever edition of the Iraqi Premier League in 1974/75 and they achieved their highest ever finish that season, finishing in sixth. They got relegated the following season and it took them 12 years to return, only for them to be relegated again. Their longest consecutive spell in the league was between 1999 and 2006. Al-Samawa have almost always been a relegation-battling team, and they avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth in the 2015/16 season due to the withdrawal of Duhok at the halfway stage of the season. The 2016/17 campaign will be their 15th season in the top-flight since the foundation of the Iraqi Premier League in 1974.

Living Word
No Longer A Loved Enemy, But A Loved Friend
Return To Index
Rom 5:9-14 GW Since Christ's blood has now given us God's approval, we are even more certain that Christ will save us from God's anger. (10) If the death of his Son restored our relationship with God while we were still his enemies, we are even more certain that, because of this restored relationship, the life of his Son will save us. (11) In addition, our Lord Jesus Christ lets us continue to brag about God. After all, it is through Christ that we now have this restored relationship with God.
In Christs sacrificial act of dying on the cross, shedding His blood once, and for all, even while we were yet sinners, God has shown us how much He loves us. Not just you sitting here this morning, or the other Christians attending other churches, but the whole world!
In the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ God has made peace with the world! He has said, Oh world, I do not wish to be at war with you because of your sin, I open the door for you to change your status from a rebel who is against Me to My child.
Gods status didnt need to change. He is God, but our status, the status of the world needed to change. We were the rebels, but we were powerless to change our status, so He did something to change that status. He sent Jesus Christ to remove that which defines us as rebels...namely sin.
Do you think that Jesus just died for the sins of believers? That would be very arrogant! He died for the sins of the world! In the death of His Son, Jesus Christ, God said, See world, the only reason for me to be wrathful against you has been taken away. I offer you peace!
This peace, this forgiveness, has been won for all, but as rebels we must receive it. We must lay down our arms and surrender. If not, we will one day receive Gods wrath against sin, because our sin still clings to us.
God does not hate the sinner. He proved that when He sent Jesus to die for our sins. God hates the sin, and it is sin that is cast into hell, and if your sin remains attached to you....you are going along for the eternal ride to damnation. You need to get rid of your sin.
I remember growing up on the farm. Flies were always a problem in the house. We were blessed to have these strips of twisted sticky flypaper that you would hang on the ceiling. Flies would be attracted to this paper and then they would get stuck on it and that would be the end of that particular problem fly.
I dont know why, but we had one right over our dinner table. What was Mom thinking! I mean every now and then one would wriggle loose and youd pray we werent eating anything with raisins in it.
But anyway, all of us were like that fly paper. Born with flies sticking to us, we were all born with sin. And Christ died for us while we still had these flies sticking to us Would you die for someone with flies stuck all over them? I think not, but Christ did that for the whole fly sticking world!
Not only that, but Christ was sinless. He was flypaper still in the package. He unfurled Himself in this world for 33 years and not a single fly stuck to Him, not one sin! And then on one great and glorious day on a hill outside Jerusalem. He became sin for us! On that day all the sins of the world, past, present, and future were flung on Him. What a hideous sight!
And God poured out His wrath against all sin on His precious Son on that Day! So much wrath, that at one point, He turned away from His Son. He abandoned Him. And Jesus said, My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?
Then Jesus said, It is finished. Literally...the debt has been paid. The wages of sin, which are death, were paid in full on that Day. Then He died and the temple curtain immediately ripped in two!
This curtain set apart the Holy of holies It was never even lifted except on the Day of Atonement to enable the high priest to bring the sacrifice for the sins of the people into the presence of God. God in ripping the veil, indicating that with the death of Jesus there was no longer a need for the veil.
The sin, which formerly separated God and man, had been removed by the one great sacrifice of the true High Priest...Jesus Christ. Peace with God, access to God had been granted to all by the blood of Jesus.
The instant Christ died, the whole world of sinners was changed completely. It was now a world for whose sin atonement had been made and no longer a world with unatoned sins. All the flies were now accounted for.
In the OT God called the Day of Atonement, the most important worship festival there is for you. (Lev. 16:31. He did that because it was a foreshadowing of the most important day for you, for me. The Day on which Jesus atoned for the sins of the world with His own precious blood.
On this Day in the OT, which was celebrated on the 10
day of the 7
month. The high priest would enter the Holy of Holies and make atonement for the sins of the people. It was an elaborate ritual which involved the cleansing of the high priest and his family by the sacrificial death of an animal.
Then atonement was made for the sins of the people by choosing two goats. One was sacrificed to pay for the sins of all the people. Once payment was made, then the priest would lay his hands on the other goat and confess over it all the sins, all the rebellious acts of the people and all the things they had done wrong.
The laying on of hands was symbolic of transferring all those sins to the goat. The goat or scapegoat was then taken to a remote area of the desert and released.
This most important worship festival, was a foreshadowing of the once and for all Day of Atonement that took place on a cross outside Jerusalem some 2000 years ago. On that Day, once and for all, the sins of the world were atoned for with the lifeblood of Jesus.
But if thats all that happens, then we are all still lost in our sin. Lets revisit the OT Day of Atonement in Lev. 16 and see what we can learn from it. After the blood of the animals were shed for the high priest, his family, and the people (the foreshadowing of Christs shed blood) we pick it up in vv20-22,
When he finishes making peace with the Lord at the holy place, the tent of meeting, and the altar, (once the blood has been shed) he will bring the living goat forward. Aaron will place both hands on its head. He will confess over it all the sins, all the rebellious acts, and all the things the Israelites did wrong. he will transfer them to the goats head. A man will be appointed to release the goat in the desert.
The shedding of the blood is what makes the initial peace. Once this peace has been made, then the reality of that peace must be applied. The application of that peace is the humble confession of sin, and the result of the humble confession is that the individual sinner or rebel has his sins transferred and removed from him as far as east is from the west.
1 Jn 1:9, If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
This is what Paul is saying here. Jesus made peace for the entire world. But my friend, the reality of that peace can only be realized through humble personal confession, personal agreement with God that we are sinners in need of forgiveness.
This peacemaking through the death of Christ was foreshadowed in the OT and fully realized when Christ died on the cross. No person ever sent to hell and no person who will be sent to hell will ever be able to say that God did not love them. That He did not pay for their sins. He loved them so much that He sent His only Son to pay the price and remove the only barrier that kept them from reconciliation with Him.....sin.
The only reason people will find themselves in hell is because they rejected Gods offer of peace of reconciliation through Christ.
Though all sins were atoned for by the blood of the sacrifice on the Day of Atonement, it would all be for naught without the goat. It was the humble confession and dispatching of the goat that made the atonement personal.
Your personal reconciliation with God is accomplished in fact, when you humbly admit that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, and since we know what sinners we are, we need to do that daily.
Now since we have established the fact that God loved us and Christ died for us even while we were icky and repulsive sinners. We (baptized believers) are even more certain that Christ will save us from Gods anger.
Even more certain. Are you even more certain that you are no longer the object of Gods wrath? You oughta be. If you arent I suggest to you that you are still clinging to salvation by works. This even more certain is not based on our good works or the perception that we are somehow less sinful than others.
It is based on the fact that Christ died for us while we were yet sinners. Since we know that our sins have been paid for, and God has washed us in baptism through no merit of our own, and that our sins have been cast away as far as east is from the west, we can be even more certain that we will be saved from Gods wrath against sin that will be finalized on Judgement Day.
The only things that can rob us of this certainty, this reality, is when we seek to rely on our works. That reliance always leads to the question, How much? How many good works are required? Have I done enough? Am I good enough? Or it leads to an even worse thought. Well, Im not as bad as so and so.
You are the same as so and so! The only difference is by the grace of God, you went through the scapegoat ceremony! You received Christ and your sins were transferred and carted away as far as east is from the west.
We also are robbed of our certainty when we deny the faith, that is when we disbelieve, but we also are robbed of our certainty when we become disinterested in maintaining our faith. God gave you this great gift at your baptism, now work with Him, show interest in developing it.
Those who show disinterest in their faith are no better than those who deny the faith, for Jesus Himself said this about the lukewarm:
Rev 3:15-16 GW I know what you have done, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot. (16) But since you are lukewarm and not hot or cold, I'm going to spit you out of my mouth.
Paul continues in v10 :
(10) If the death of his Son restored our relationship with God while we were still his enemies, we are even more certain that, because of this restored relationship, the life of his Son will save us.
Here we see the contrast between the Sons death, which atoned for our sins while we were still enemies, and His resurrected life. Jesus rose from the dead! He is risen! He is risen indeed! Now that we have availed ourselves of this free gift of forgiveness. He ever lives to intercede on our behalf!
His life is now devoted to sanctify you, protect you, and save you from hell, so that you will one day be brought to glory with Him. He died for unbelieving sinners! How much more does He want to do for those who now believe!
If we remain in Christ, we have full assurance of no wrath against us on Judgement Day and if we remain in Christ, we have full assurance that Jesus is our Advocate today and will be forever! Oh what a joy to have this assurance!
And so Paul ends this section:
(11) In addition, our Lord Jesus Christ lets us continue to brag about God. After all, it is through Christ that we now have this restored relationship with God.
This reconciliation, that we have received by grace through faith is so thorough, so complete that God not only ceases fighting against us, but actually extends warm, meaningful friendship toward us. He brags on us and we brag on Him!
As Luther said, We glory in God that God is ours and we are His, and that we have all goods in common from Him and with Him in all confidence.
In other words, when peace with God is realized and acquired by the humble repentant sinner. God not only ceases any hostility against us, but He throws open His camp to us. We have free access to all His gracious gifts!
Rom 8:32 GW God didn't spare his own Son but handed him over to death for all of us. So he will also give us everything along with him.
Now many people hear that and they start getting visions of fancy cars and winning lottery tickets, what a shame. How short-sighted! Big fancy cars rust. money is eaten by moths, neither one of them have eternal value.
Moth and rust cant hold a candle to things like perseverance, character, and hope. Remember? Those are the things that God promises to those who endure tribulation.
Or how do earthly things match Gods promise of wisdom? Wisdom granted simply for the asking?
Jam 1:5 GW If any of you needs wisdom to know what you should do, you should ask God, and he will give it to you. God is generous to everyone and doesn't find fault with them.
Then theres the fruit of the Spirit.
Gal 5:22-23 GW But the spiritual nature produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, (23) gentleness, and self-control. There are no laws against things like that.
Oh beloved, dont you see that there is great freedom in Christ! Lay it down. Stop resisting His grace! Your sins have been paid for...even while you were a filthy flycatcher! Confess them, throw them on the cross, so Jesus our High Priest can place them on the scapegoat, and remove them as far as east is from the west.
Receive the gift! Not only are we spared the wrath of God, not only can we share in His resurrected life, but we can brag or rejoice in Christ, knowing that our Father wants to give us these gifts that wont rust or decay.
They may be wrapped up in trial and tribulation, they may be wrapped up in sacrifice, they may be wrapped up in all sorts of lifes circumstances, but they are available for those who endure and trust Him to finish the good work that He has begun in them.
The work that began when Christ died on Calvary.
Rejoice in Christ. He has reconciled you to God, taken you away from the shadow of His wrath and placed you in the heavenlies with Christ Jesus. The gist of what we have been saying here today is this. Rejoice, remember, you are no longer a loved enemy, but a loved friend!
