The most wonderful thing in the world. Of course, it's not wrong. I don't know whether that was the baptism. You usually, when the baptism comes upon people, sooner or later, at least as far as the Bible is concerned, there is an expression of the release of their spirit. They begin to speak in Heavenly languages to praise God. So I think God's power is upon you, and I just would move into what He has and keep on worshipping Him. Let the anointing of the Holy Spirit flood you.
Well, the most important thing is to see do they preach the Word? Do they believe in the Bible? Do they believe in the power of God? And the next thing is do they love each other? And do they work in harmony? Do they have a heart for evangelism? And then for you, are you compatible? Are the people the kind of people that you like to see, you're comfortable with? Because there are different types, different strokes for different folks. But the biggest thing is do they love Jesus? Do they believe the Bible? That's more than anything else.
There is one thing that really motivates people, and that is to be given a high goal -- to be told they're something special and to be praised and ennobled along the way. Any business that has its employees in fear is going to lose. If they're afraid that if they open their mouthes, they'll get squashed on or they'll get insulted or embarrassed.
Obviously the Bible talks about fearing God. We're to love God and to fear God. You walk in reverence. You don't play games with God. If you get too familiar with God, He is going to smack you down. So you've got to be careful that you don't indulge His goodness beyond what you should. But I think reverential fear is, of course, something that's very important. You keep these things in tension.
But more than anything, what motivates me? To be told my sins are forgiven, to be told I'm a child of God, to be told God Almighty loves me, that He is with me. That's what motivates me, not the fact that He is going to send me to hell. That's a negative thing.
That isn't very Christian. Seven times 70, somebody asks for forgiveness. There is no limit to the forgiveness you're supposed to give to somebody. The Lord is filled with forgiveness. We want to be forgiven over and over and over again
Jesus said there is not one jot or one tittle in the law that will fail to come to pass. The law was fulfilled. He lived by the Old Testament. I'll tell you an example myself. I was reading the 58th chapter of Isaiah, and it said all this business about [how] you're supposed to feed the poor, clothe the naked and take the homeless in. Look at all these wonderful things that happen to you. I wrote it down. This is pretty good stuff. This is Old Testament, but I'm New Testament. I said, "Well, I don't care if I'm New Testament or not. I want to do this." Because this was God's eternal Word. Of course, what happened in the book of Genesis, what happened to Noah and Abraham and the understanding of all this that went on—now, obviously we're not under the dietary laws. Jesus Christ fulfilled the requirements of the law perfectly. But nevertheless, there are certain overarching moral concepts that are clearly in the Old Testament. We don't have to refrain from eating pork or we don't have to go through all these feast days. They are a shadow of good things to come, according to the Bible. Jesus fulfilled them. But He respected the Bible. He said the Scriptures shall not be broken. So it's a unit. It is one whole unit. The Old Testament points us to Jesus, and without it, we wouldn't see the full plan of God's salvation.
There is a witness in your heart about a Holy Spirit that you're a child of God. The Spirit bears witness with our spirit. You will find that you are filled with the love of the Lord. But have you done what He asked you to do? Did you repent of your sin? Did you turn away from sin? Did you receive Him as Savior and Lord of your life? Do you believe that He died and rose again, and are you entrusting your life to Him? If you've done that, and you mean it, then He says that you have been born again. But you will also have a witness in the way you live, and more than anything, the Holy Spirit will bear witness with you. You'll know. You'll know that you know that you know. If you do what He says, don't worry about feeling. Take it on faith.
There are some keys that you need to know. When they were baptized in the Holy Spirit, they began to speak in tongues. It's very hard to speak Latin and Greek at the same time. It's very hard to speak French and German at the same time. It's very hard to speak English and some heavenly language at the same time. People want to hold on. They want to hold on and not let go. What you need to do is to give yourself in love to the Lord. Focus on Jesus, not an experience and not the Holy Spirit. Focus on Jesus and ask Jesus. He is the baptizer in the Holy Spirit.

You're never alone. He will never leave you alone. He said about the children of Israel, I think He gives us the chance to see how you're going to behave. As long as He has got His arms around you, you know He's there, and it's all warm and comfortable, then how are you going to do it when you kind of get out on your own? He wants you to understand how you can live. He has never left you alone.
Terry Meeuwsen
There is a little bumper sticker I love that said, "If you feel distant from God, guess who moved?" Because God doesn't. He's always there.
Brother Lawrence wrote a book called Practicing the Presence of God. You have to practice the presence of God. You look at Hebrews and it says, "Those who through reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good from evil." Reason of use. This is me. This is the devil. This is God. You get used to which is God and which isn't. You need to walk with Him. There is no substitute for practice. Reason of use, to have your senses exercised. The other thing is absorb the Bible. Let the Bible be part of you. Feed on His Word, so that the Word of God is part of your very DNA. So, when a situation comes up, the Word will already be your guide, a lamp unto your feet, a light unto your path.
Thank God He gives second chances. If He didn't, we would all be in trouble. If you made a vow to the Lord, get yourself right with Him. Go to Him and explain what happened. He knows your frame, the Bible says. He remembers that you are dust. He has compassion for you. The one thing He doesn't want you to do is try to tough it out and bluff it out and act like nothing happened. The fact that your heart is tender, to me, is a very important thing. So you come to the Lord and say, 'I promised to do something and I didn't do it and I ask You to give me a second chance.' How many people are alcoholics and drug addicts and other kinds of addicts and go off and come back and go off and come back and finally get straightened out and get on down the road? God is interested in redemption. He is interested in blessing; He is not interested in cursing. His desire is to make you whole in Him. By all means, come before Him and acknowledge what you have done and say, 'Give me a second chance,' and He will.
You ought to move as fast as you can. Yes, there are demonic strongholds, without question. There is no doubt about it. There are certain areas where demon princes hold sway. And this thing has obviously got hold of you. Get away from there as fast as you can. Confess and recommit to the Lord. Absolutely. But get away from there. Flee.
Turn it over to the Lord, and He will beat you up so bad you will get humbled. But seriously, get on your face before the Lord and consciously humble yourself. Let the Lord take care of you. From there on out, I think it all will be well.
That is a good question. I am not sure I can answer all of it in a short length of time. I have made a practice over the years to have a quiet time with the Lord. The Bible says David the psalmist said, 'Early will I seek thee.' I think you need to get to the Lord before all of the hustle and bustle of the day begins. You don't turn on the television. You don't turn on the radio. You don't start thinking of your business. You don't check your computer and read your e-mail. You get before the Lord. I believe the most important thing first of all is just to worship Him. Just tell Him how much you love Him. Just talk to Him and think about how great He is. Just meditate on Him, and then worship Him. Just adore Him and thank Him. Thank Him for everything He has done. Review in your mind the good things He has done for you, so you are thankful to Him.
So you have worship, which is how great You are, how big, how wonderful, how powerful. Then you are thanking Him. Then you can begin a systematic study of the Bible, or else you can ask Him to lead you to a passage in the Bible. You begin to read the Bible and that begins to feed your soul as you read the Bible and meditate on what it means and let it sink down deep in your heart so that He gives you something you can go on. It is like food for the soul.
That length of time could be half an hour or an hour or two hours or whatever. I don't think this business about taking 5 minutes at 12 is very honoring to the Lord. You ought to spend at least 30 minutes in worship to the Lord.
If you want to sing a hymn, sing. If you want to speak in tongues and you have been filled with the Spirit, pray in tongues, pray in the understanding. But spend time praying and don't go through a whole rote list: 'God bless Mom and Grandmother and Aunt Susie.' Worship Him, and then if you have a prayer request, bring your prayer request to Him: 'Today, Lord, I have a big business meeting and I ask that You give me wisdom and help me.'
Bring before Him your petitions. With thanksgiving let your request
be made known unto God, and the Bible says that the peace of God
that passes all understanding will keep your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus.
What I think really isn't important; it is what Jesus said that is important. He said keep on asking, keep on knocking, keep on seeking. He told a story about a man who pounded like crazy on the door of a neighbor to get bread to feed some guests. All of that was over and over again asking, so it is a continuing action in the Greek: keep on asking and keep on knocking and keep on seeking.
'With prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, make your requests
known to God.' But you don't just do it once. Once God says yes,
of course you stop asking for it, but until then, you come to
Him with praise, you come to Him with thanksgiving, you come to
Him with a grateful heart. You let Him know what you want and
then lay hold of Him. The Bible talks about how they prayed for
Peter. They really laid hold of God, and God answered. I have
heard that business of if you pray once, anything else is lack
of faith. That is not biblical.
You have got it part right and part wrong. First of all, David was King. Second of all, he had a guy killed. Not only did he commit adultery, which might be your problem, but he also had the husband murdered. It wasn't that he couldn't have other women. God said, 'Look, if you don't like the wives you have got, I could give you a whole lot more of them,' so he wasn't being denied a harem. But he picked the wife of another man and had the guy killed, so it was a pretty serious offense.
Now here is the deal: When you come to Jesus, you are forgiven eternally of the sins that you have committed. The sins are washed away and they are put into the sea of God's forgiveness and they will never be mentioned again. So, eternally, you are forgiven and justified. But what about the temporal punishment for what you have done? If you commit murder, for example, you have broken the laws of the state. I cannot guarantee you, because you accepted Jesus and are born again, that you might not have to go to the electric chair or spend the rest of your life in prison because that is the temporal punishment for what you have done.
If you haven't broken any law of the state, God isn't going to come down and zap you five years later and say, 'Oh, by the way, you committed adultery five years ago and I am going to whack you now.' It doesn't work that way. The punishment against David took place very quickly. His son revolted against him. His son murdered another son. Then the whole empire was in chaos. It happened very quickly and it enfolded to the point that David was actually expelled from the kingship. So don't think that God is going to defer punishment against you and then one year, two years, three years, five years later say to you, 'Whoops! Back there you committed adultery. You stole something, so I am going to get you now.' God will forgive, and He wants you to have a clear conscience to serve the Living God. Leave that stuff in the past and forget it. God has forgotten it. Now, get on with your life.
We can know it in our hearts. I think the most intelligent thing any person can ever do is to surrender himself to God and to be filled with Him. Jesus said, "If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority." If you will surrender your will to God's, then you will know. On the other hand, if you say, "God, I am not going to do Your will until You show me Yourself," He is under no obligation to show you anything. To know is to surrender. When we surrender, we begin to know. We enter into a relationship with the Creator in which we know that we know that we know.
The great mathematician Blaise Pascal said, "At three in morning as I was praying, [and] suddenly, fire!" He said, "Oh, God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, the world has not known Thee, but I know Thee, Father." He was a scientist, one of the greatest philosopher-scientists in the history of mankind, who suddenly ran into the fire of God and said, "I now know You."
That was a revelation from God. God reveals Himself to us as He chooses. In the meantime, we have the Scripture, the Bible, which tells us about God. We can read and believe the Bible out of faith. The apostle Paul wrote, "So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. "45 If we expose ourselves to the Word, we will grow in faith.
God has not left Himself without a witness. The witness around us is the wonder of His creation and the inexplicable order ofit all. Certainly, we're surprised that someone like Carl Sagan would not have recognized that and said, "There must be something behind this:" But the wisdom of this world is insufficient to find God; it still takes faith.
The word in Greek for "wisdom" is sophia, from which we get our word philosophy; phil -o-sophia, the love of wisdom. Paul said, "When the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believed."46 When Paul got into Athens, he played head-garnes with some of the local philosophers. On Mars Hill, the local gathering spot for intellectuals, Paul said, "I see that you are a very religious people, and I noticed your statue to the Unknown God. Now, the Unknown God is the one I am going to declare to you." He approached them from an intellectual standpoint, and most debaters would say that he won his points. Yet interestingly, to the best of my knowledge, he didn't win one convert from that debate in Athens. He went up the road to Corinth, and later he said, "When I got to Corinth, I was determined to know nothing among you save Jesus Christ and Him crucified."48 And there he established a thriving church, because he talked about the cross and the necessity of knowing Jesus.
You can look at the world and see the wonder of a human being, the growth of a child, and all of the processes of life. The structure and order to it all is absolutely staggering! Any honest observer must conclude, "There has to be an order in this." Yet amazingly, some people choose not to see it.
I read an article on creation in Encyclopedia Britannica that
said the genetic structure in one human being was the equivalent
of a library of 1000 books, 500 pages per book, with closely printed,
single-spaced type--yet the person who wrote that article said
chance evolution brought that genetic structure into being! How
ludicrous! If he walked into any library and saw the thousand
volumes of closely printed text placed nearly on the shelves,
that same person would never say, "My, I guess this just
happened by random chance." No, he or she would have to admit
that someone put the order together and keeps it together. The
order of the uni- verse is one of the strongest "proofs"
for God's existence.
Jesus said, "Whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it shall be granted him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they shall be granted you." Proverbs says, "A man shill eat good by the fruit of his mouth." Your confession is extremely important, and, indeed, your words do have creative power, if they are energized by the Holy Spirit.
Throughout Scripture, we can find incidences of God speaking things into existence. For instance, if we look at the origin of this universe, it was the spoken word of God that brought it to pass. We read again and again in Genesis, "God said, 'Let there be. ..' " and it happened according to His Word. Moreover, the apostle Paul reminds us that God "gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did." He has given us the energized Word through the Holy Spirit, and with His power, amazing things can take place if we speak them into being.
Paul said, "If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Apparently, something about confession, acknowledging verbally that Jesus is Lord, validates your spiritual experience. Power flows from the creative mind of God to the Spirit of God, to the spirit of man, to the mind of man, and to the mouth of man. God's thoughts will be transmitted by the Holy Spirit to our spirits, and if we speak them forth, things will begin to take shape and change. On the other hand, human beings simply blabbering away will not bring about anything good or creative. It is the Holy Spirit of God that must do the work. We become the instrument of His divine will, if we will yield ourselves to Him.
Jesus also said, "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." When we stand before God in judgment, we will give account for every idle word we utter. Our words are extremely important. Scripture warns that the tongue is like a rudder that steers the ship. "Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things."
Similarly, it is a flame of Iife, and no man can contain it. When a person is filled with the Holy Spirit, and his or her entire life --including the tongue-- comes under the control of the Spirit of God, his or her speech will be affected. When a person speaks in tongues under the direction of the Holy Spirit, even though it may be in an unlearned language, it is nonetheless the spoken word.
In my experience, the way I've seen healings take place has been to speak the word, to see creative miracles, to command storms to cease. That is what Jesus did. He spoke to the waves. He said, "Peace, be still." And that is the way you deal with demons, too. You speak to the demon, commanding it to obey. When you exercise the authority of Jesus' name, and command evil spirits to be gone, they must obey. Taking authority over demons is a scripturally sound activity. It is not some hocus-pocus, mind over matter or some weird magic.
Similarly, agreeing with God's Word, and speaking to our circumstances is not a "name it and claim it" game of "let's see what we can get from God." We are not talking about magic, formulas, tricks, or games; we are talking about the power of God having real results in our everyday lives according to clearly annunciated biblical teachings.
The Bible says that God labored for six days, and on the seventh day He rested. God didn't rest because He was tired. He ceased from His labors because He had finished creation, therefore He hallowed the Sabbath day.
When Jesus interpreted the Sabbath, He said, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath." Human beings require a day of rest. Working seven days a week with no break, followed by seven more days of work with no break will eventually destroy your mental, physical, and spiritual health. Any society that encourages people to work seven days a week, week after week, will ultimately destroy its people. We must have a day off for rest and refreshment.
Even many churches have missed this important truth. Some churches have Sunday school, two worship services, then an afternoon meeting, and an evening service of some sort. Then they have youth group, and more in the middle of the week. Although it is wonderful to have so many spiritual activities that people can enjoy, God's people must have time to rest and nurture family relationships, too. The Sabbath should be a day of rest, not more frantic spiritual activity; it should be a time to read the Bible, pray, talk to the Lord, when you have time to consider heavenly things, when you recharge your spiritual batteries. That's what keeping the Sabbath holy is all about.
The church used to emphasize keeping the Sabbath holy, but in recent years we have compromised. Now, government mandates dictate that we can't have closings on Sunday because this may violate the constitution. Nonsense! But these rulings are law, and as a result we have seven days a week of full-blown commerce in which people are flocking to malls, restaurants, and other places that at one time were closed one day per week. The people who have to work in the malls don't really have a quiet day of rest they can enjoy; No wonder we have so many emotional breakdowns and so much mental and physical stress in our society. We are in a selfdestruct mode, ready to implode on ourselves because of our ignorance of this simple but vital truth.
It may not be easy, but practice setting aside one day each week for essential rest, prayer, relaxation, and close communion with the Lord. The remaining six days of your week will go much better!
Sure, the Bible talks about the man of sin who comes with lying signs and wonders, and it also says that the time would come when it would deceive even the elect, so of course Satan is the 'angel of light.' He has been the deceiver from the beginning. He is a liar and the 'father of lies,' so of course we are going to have lies and we are going to have deception and we will have lying signs and wonders. That is why you need to be in the Word. Let your theology be grounded in the Bible and your own life filled with the power of the Holy Spirit.
As far as we know, the civilization that we are a part of started in Ur of the Chaldees in a little area called Akkad. It is right down at the mouth of the Tigris-Euphrates Valley. We are talking about down there in Basra and that area. That's where it all started. There was Ur and Akkad and then it went up from there into Babylon and later the Assyrian Empire. These were the first of the civilizations that we currently know. Saddam, on that one, is right.
Where does it fit into the Bible? Look in Daniel. Read Nebuchadnezzar's
dream about the statue he saw. I think that there is just a possibility
when all of the empires of the world came about, Nebuchadnezzar
was the head, but from there you have the Persians and the Greeks
and the Romans and then maybe us. It started in Babylon. The Bible
talks about Babylon as being the source of evil. It is used as
a symbol in the book of Revelation as the mother of harlots. Read
your Bible. Read Revelation and Daniel and you will see more about
In the book of Isaiah, they're all together. They're one in the midst of the land. I mean, they're all God's people at that time. What the prophet was talking about was a time of peace where Egypt, Assyria and Israel will all live together in peace and harmony. And I don't mean somebody's going to set up a highway today and let Hezbollah come running into Israel. That's not what we're talking about. The prophet is looking at a time when God is going to bring what were the great powers of the early centuries, the dawn of history, which was Assyria and Egypt, He was going to bring them together with Israel and that they would be like one in the land. And that will come to pass one of these days, that these nations will live at harmony with Israel. That's what the Bible says. And I believe you can count on it.

God poured out all His wrath on Jesus Christ. That is what the Bible says. And, as a result, God isn't angry at anybody anymore. He is extending salvation. Now is the acceptable year of the Lord, the year of Jubilee, where He extends salvation to all who will hear and respond to the story, the Good News of what Jesus did on the cross for all people everywhere for all time. Now, in the Old Testament, I think it's a mistake to say that somehow He's harsh. It's just a different covenant. And Jesus said that. I'm instituting a new covenant. The old covenant with the children of Israel had to do with observing laws, rules and regulations. And when they broke those laws, rules and regulations, they broke the covenant, and they lost out on the blessings of God. But over and over again, they returned to Him. And I love some of the Psalms, where they talk in terms of "His mercy endures forever. His loving-kindness endures forever." And you need to keep that picture in mind. God hasn't changed. His loving-kindness endures forever, and it was in His plan and purpose to have a Messiah, to have a sacrifice for all sin for all time. And that plan was made and written out in the Old Testament. It's a different covenant.
It's a question of who "we" is. It doesn't say we are going to stand before the judgment seat. It said the dead and the sinners and various ones. The Lord Jesus said that you're passed from death unto life. "He that believes on me believes that God has sent me. He shall not come into the judgment, but has passed from death unto life." There is the bema, the judgment seat of Christ, where we are receiving rewards for what we have done in our body, or maybe punishment for what we haven't done with the revelation. But in terms of the so-called Great White Throne Judgment, that is the judgment of Heaven and Hell for the sinners, not for those who have given their hearts to Jesus. So you use the term "we," it depends on who "we" is. And you aren't included in that last "we." It's a different "we" that is going to come before that judgment seat of the Lord.
The word "holy" is dedicated to God. And those who were holy, the holy things were dedicated, and the two terms were interchangeable. And it meant those things which are being consumed in the sacrifice of God. The Bible also says in Ecclesiastes, "Don't be righteous over much." There is such a thing as overdoing it, and it does sound like you're overdoing it. I mean, how can you function in the world if you totally isolate yourself, unless you want to go into monastic order. And there's some people who do that. They withdraw from the world, and they take a life of contemplation and meditation. But with us, for example, we're in television, and how can we do appropriate television if we don't see how it's done. You have to have contact with the world to learn what's happening around you and what are the important issues. And I would think if you're getting revelations from God, if you really are closing into God and God is speaking to you, you've got something much more precious than you'll ever get on watching TV or reading some magazine or book, if that's your course. But "holy" means set apart to God. That's what it means. But holiness does not come about from our work and our effort. It comes about from the grace of God, did you receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the working of the Holy Spirit, the miracles among you by the works of the Law, the hearing of faith. It's faith. And faith is believing in the power of God. It's His grace.
It's not a false hope to hope that God will hear your prayer and let you win. But the whole premise is wrong. That's not the way you get possessions in this world. There is a way. I wrote about it in my book, The Secret Kingdom. It's the law of use. You use what's there, and more grows. You do more and more and more of the same thing. You give and you sow and you reap and you plant and so forth. But hoping that you'll hit the lottery or get a dream home on a draw, on a thing is false hope. And it's not that the Lord won't do it for you. It's just that I think you're building yourself up for a fall and then you can blame the Lord.
God will forgive you of anything, but I do think that you need to have your mind renewed. You renew your mind by the Word of God. You need to feed on the Word and let your speech be with grace, seasoned with salt. Have grace coming out of your mouth. If you are listening to the words of Scripture, your mouth will come out differently. But I know when I was a kid, I used to use some horrible language. The minute I found the Lord, it was like He just did something and cleaned it up. It was just amazing. It was a totally different thing that goes away by the power of the Holy Spirit. So, pray that the Lord will deliver you from it, but feed your mind day and night on the Word of God and in prayer. You'll find that filthy language will leave you.
This wasn't temptation. This was to determine. If they ate, it was evil, and if they refrained from eating, it was good. So God had to put something there to allow them to understand the difference between good and evil. It wasn't temptation. It was, "I'm going to go by that tree, and I'm not going to eat it, and that's good." Day after day they would be established in obedience to the Lord. Or they'd go by and they'd say, "Well, God said not to do that, so I'd better have a taste," and then it would be evil. But they would learn good and evil by not doing. Refraining was good. Participating was bad. They were in paradise. How else were they going to learn good and evil?
The Jewish calendar, in my opinion, is correct. And I think, really, if we're going to be accurate, we should coincide with the Passover. Last year, it coincided the same time. It was a high holy day. I hate to sound so ignorant on this particular score, but I'm not sure how they figure out where Easter falls. But the Passover, the harvest festivals were determined on the cycles of the moon. So you're looking at the time of full moon would be the time of the various feasts of the Lord. So it dealt with something more real than whatever the arbitrary dating of Easter. I don't know. Somebody, I'm sure, will call up and say, "Hey, here it is. Don't be so silly." But I don't know.
Oh, absolutely. He is, without question, known. We have more documentary evidence of the New Testament than we've got about Caesar. When I was in high school, we all studied Caesar's Gaelic wars like it was for real. Everybody did not question whether or not Caesar was an emperor, whether he was a great general. But in terms of documents, we have it without question. Also, there are contemporary historians who noted Jesus of Nazareth. Tthe impact of Christianity was so strong. People don't die for a myth. You just don't die and go into the lion's den or to go into the arena and suffer all kinds of persecution and torture for a myth. The Apostle Paul said, "The Lord appeared to 500 people, and to me later, as one born out season." But Jesus appeared to Paul, who was writing. If Jesus died, let's say, in 30 AD, and Paul was writing just roughly, let's say 50-55 AD, there was no question this was contemporaneous documentation. The New Testament is as good a document as you'll get about the world. And it seems like the more and more archeological finds we discover, the more it authenticates the truth of the Bible.
I think, yes, it is. "Where two of you gather together in My name, there I am in the midst." It's necessary. But some people love to stand up and pray. In the Old Testament they stood up, they raised their hands. There's nothing wrong with walking around and praying. God isn't interested in the posture of your body. He's interested in the state of your spirit. Your Spirit is what connects with Him. And whether you're bowed down like a bulrush, as the Bible says, that doesn't win any brownie points with God. If your husband is really seeking God and he's walking around praying to the Lord, you just enjoy it and pray with him and don't get all so uptight about it. It has nothing to do with the posture of your body.

Well, on the last question, yes, it does matter. If his belief in God is based on some kind of an infatuation with you, you've got a problem, and that isn't a relationship that you should encourage. The apostle Paul said he desired that their faith would be based on the power of God, not the wisdom of men. Now, we get to preach the Gospel. We get to reason with people as to why we believe in Jesus Christ. But it's that conversion moment where they really know that He is Lord, that He is risen from the dead, that is always a one-on-one between someone and Jesus Christ. We just sort of introduce. And when his faith gets based on that, then you've got something that you can really stand on.
I am, frankly, not an expert on generational curses, but I do believe they exist. I believe that if somebody in your background was involved in the occult, in witchcraft, in all the paraphernalia of the occult, that thing will carry down with you and there will be spirits that will want to attach to you and bring a curse on you. And I think that has to be broken, and the best way is to renounce whatever's there. So it wouldn't hurt to explore it. And I also think if some ancestor did some horrible thing, maybe he was engaged in a massacre of some innocent people or something, there maybe needs to be a cleansing in your family of the evil that was done. That has certainly Old Testament justification.
I talked to a man yesterday who was in Iraq. He's leading a protective detail, and he says, "I've sinned. Men under my command were killed, and I've sinned." And I said, "No, you haven't sinned. You didn't kill those people." And you didn't kill your son. It's not your fault. You had something you had to do. You couldn't leave. So if he got hit, you didn't hit him, and you didn't tell him to go out in the street and take a chance. So stop being tormented by guilt. God will forgive you, but there's nothing in this case to be forgiven of. You have your obligations, and you were torn between doing the right thing for one child and doing the right thing for the other child. You were going to do both, but events intervened. So leave that in the Lord's hands, and don't carry that guilt with you. Just praise the Lord and get on with life.
That's the most heartrending thing. You make a vow, "in sickness and in health, till death do us part." And the fact that a wife wouldn't stay with you when you had been injured in the service of your country is just appalling. So, in essence, I hate to say this, but she isn't worth it. She isn't worth your anger. She isn't worth your grief. She isn't worth your jealousy. Because anybody who would pull a stunt like that on a crippled veteran who had been married to her for that many years, there's something seriously wrong with her, and you're better off without her. Now, it may be that God in His goodness will heal you of this condition, and you'll get out of the wheelchair. If not, He may bring somebody else into your life that'll take care of you. But don't let this thing eat you up. Forgive her, and then get on with your life. That's all you can do.
Of course, not. Lust is wanting something you can't have now. But we're told, basically, to lust after God, "Earnestly desire the better gifts." So God is infinite, and there's enough of Him to go around for everybody. He can give you double and triple portions, and He isn't diminished one bit. So, of course, ask Him for more if your heart is that way toward Him. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your mind and all your soul and all your strength." That pleases the Lord that you lust after Him. That's the only thing you're supposed to lust after.
No. That's the Old Testament. It's the right of circumcision for the people of the covenant, the Jewish people. But the truth is, that from a health standpoint, I'm under the impression that there is a great deal of cancer of the cervix that is caused later in life with sexual relations between women and uncircumcised men. So it's a very good health thing. Circumcision takes place in little infants. They don't feel it. It's not like bloody. Little kids have it done. They don't know what's happening, and it's not that painful. And it heals very quickly. It's much more practical. And from a health standpoint it's a good thing. But no, we're not under the commandment. We're told to circumcise our heart, which means to get our hearts in the right. The circumcision was a sign of the covenant, which you're set apart from God. So you need your heart to be circumcised as a Christian, but it has nothing to do with your sex organs.
I think it's a question of trust but there is an inner peace. The world around you may be in chaos, and if you focus on the chaos, you'll never have peace. Remember after 9/11, hour after hour after hour after hour there were pictures of those planes hitting those towers. They basically only did it once, but we kept seeing it over and over again. And, of course, little children watching that thought this was going on all the time. And how can you have peace when you focus constantly on the problem? You have to focus on the Lord, and He says, "Great peace have they who love Thy law, and nothing shall offend them." If we focus in on the Lord Himself, we focus in on the law of God, and we rest in Him, then that peace will begin to come. "My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives unto you," said Jesus, "but I'm going to give you My peace." But you will not get it if you're watching TV all the time.
Start off your day with the Lord. The Bible says, "Early will I seek you, seek thee." I recommend getting up early before the children are up, before the noise of the day. Don't turn on television. Don't turn on the radio. Get alone quiet with God. Get your spirit right with God. Let Him order your priorities, and then make a list of what is important and only do the top things. Let the rest of them go. That's all you can do.
Gordon Robertson
I actually think it's not based on life experience. I think it's based on God experience. When you look at what the Bible admonishes Timothy, "Don't let anyone despise you for your youth." You look at Jeremiah, where he says, "I'm young." And God says, "No, you're not. You're with Me." You look at Samuel. From a young age, God was speaking with him. And that's the real key to are you called is do you really have a profound experience with God Almighty. And if the living God is with you, then I don't care what age you are. You need to go out and tell people about that.
Kelly, it won't be wrong if somebody studies Islam, but they need guided study, because somebody needs to go along and point out the incredible inconsistencies in that book. And if you have a guided study of the Koran and see how much in there is just repetitious, how much comes out of the Old Testament and the New Testament, how much is just plagiarism from the Bible, etc.?. If you will go through it with them, I think it would be a very helpful exercise. But I doubt very seriously by reading the Koran they're going to get converted to Islam. I wouldn't worry about it. But I think they need to see it. They need to see what is in there. Many people who are Muslim don't know what the Koran says. And when you begin to tell them, they say, "Well, I don't believe that." And you say, "Well, it's in your sacred book. It's supposed to be holy words." So it won't hurt, but guided study.
A caring friend will be there to pray with you in your time of need.

Yet Another Study Shows That Students Inherently Know That File Sharing Is Not Theft
from the it-just-isn't dept
Why? The very nature of music piracy is likely the largest obstacle to curbing it, the authors say. There is no risk of physical harm to a victim and no physical object as a target -- making it easier to deduce that digital music theft is harming no one at all. Also, there is widespread social support for the behavior within the internet community and on college campuses.As much as the industry wants to believe that if they keep repeating that it's the same as theft, people will believe it, kids are smart enough to recognize that making a copy of something is quite different than depriving someone of a physical object. In the initial case, no one is missing anything. That doesn't make it legal, but it certainly makes it clear that arguments around "educating" students that it's the same thing as "theft" aren't going to work. The kids know it's not true.

Best Kids Parties: Slot Car Racing
Name: Miles (5)
Location: Brooklyn, NY
I would have been happy to host a simple birthday party at home, but the size of my son's entourage has outgrown the size of our apartment so I was on a quest to find a fun, outside alternative. A few subway stops from our neighborhood I discovered a frozen-in-time, old school slot car racing track - the last of its kind in New York City.
I showed my son a video about Buzz-a-rama, which has been operating since the 1960s, to gauge his interest. It only took a minute before he was hooked on the idea of having his 5th birthday party there.
The party was on a Sunday afternoon and we had the whole place to ourselves. There are three different tracks and the kids rotated among them. Slot cars are miniature electric-powered cars on a track with grooves or slots. The cars themselves are easy enough for 5-year-olds to operate - there's no steering; you fluctuate the speed to go slower around curves and not "de-slot". The kids did a mix of practicing and organized races.
Knowing this space had a ton of character all on its own, I didn't do any decorating except for the table in the party room where I put "road" washi tape on a grey tablecloth and lined up some toy cars. The party room was filled with vintage video games which we were allowed to play once the food was put away, but unfortunately we ran out of time (next year!).
I kept the food pretty simple: red or white pizza, popcorn, fruit salad and a tomato/bocconcini/basil salad. Thinking mini cupcakes would be easier for kids to eat, my saintly sister and I made 96 of them (a crazy amount - what can I say, math is not my strong suit).
To my surprise my son was super interested in the "goody bags" for his friends (which I forgot to photograph). He was feeding me new ideas on an almost daily basis. One morning I woke up to him staring at me by the side of the bed: "I have another idea for the goody bags, mommy." His ideas were mostly impractical - "every kid could get their own racetrack!" - but we settled on: race car crayons, gummy race cars, race car temporary tattoos and die cast race cars.
I also brought along a race car photo prop and a few plastic racing helmets and some of the kids posed for pictures.
Everyone had a Buzztastic time!

Issue left over from finalisation of GSIM v1.0: Should Dissemination Service be a subtype of Business Service?
Currently in the model we have an object in the Production Group called Business Service.
Business Service
A defined interface for accessing business capabilities (an ability that an organization possesses, typically expressed in general and high level terms and requiring a combination of organization, people, processes and technology to achieve).
A Business Service may provide one means of accessing a particular Business Function. Requesting a particular service through the defined interface may result in a business process (workflow) being executed.
The explicitly defined interface of a Business Service can be seen as representing a "service contract". If particular inputs are provided then the service will deliver particular outputs in compliance within specific parameters (for example, within a particular period of time).
In the case of GSIM, a Business Service typically implements a particular Process Method to perform a particular Business Function.
Note: The interface of a Business Service is not necessarily IT based. For example, a typical postal service will have a number of service interfaces: - Public letter box for posting letters - Counter at post office for interacting with postal workers
In the Structures Group we have an object called Dissemination Service
Dissemination Service
The mechanism for delivering, and possibly creating, structured content dynamically in response to a consumer request and in accordance with defined parameters as provided by that consumer.
A Dissemination Service will deliver a Representation created by a process that it invokes. The inputs into the Dissemination Service determine and feed the process that is to be invoked.
A Dissemination Service retrieves the information to be structured and delivered through an Information Resource. As part of the service execution, the consumer may be given a chance to browse or search through the collection of information available from the Information Resource exposed by the Dissemination Service. Based on the results, the consumer can than refine the Output Specification as (further) input to the Dissemination Service to complete the process of creating and delivering the information required in the form of a Representation to the consumer.
1. SDMX SOAP Data Web Services: The query XML message provides the Service with data selection and the specification of the preferred format (e.g. Generic format or Structured format, time series or cross-sectional). Based on this input the Service will retrieve a Data Set from the Data Resource and invoke a process that will format the data as an SDMX data message.
2. A manual service such as a response to a telephone request where the person answering the call based on the caller's request would mail a PDF (which might either be a Product or dynamically created from another source).
5 Comments
My opinion is that Dissemination Service, conceptually, is - or could be expressed as - a subclass of Business Service.
The slight variation on the current documentation for Dissemination Service is that I'd say it could be implemented using SDMX SOAP Data Web Services, not that the SDMX SOAP Web Services were the (Business) Service. The Business Service focuses on the consumers point of view - what do I need to give the service, what will it give me back, what is the "contract". If the Service Provider later supports a functionally identical service using different IT methods in the back end then this has not changed the definition of the Business Service (or Dissemination Service).
The other details of Dissemination Service is basically describing what a Business Service needs to be able to support before it is considered a Dissemination Service.
Would we change the group for DisseminationService from Structures to Production i.e. the same as for Business Service?
Business Service has the following attributes:
Person Role
Service Interface
Service Type
Are they also appropriate for Dissemination Service?
Business Service has the following Relationships:
1...* BusinessService
0..* ProcessStepExecutionRecord
0..* BusinessService
0..* ProcessStepDesign.implementationOf
1..* BusinessService
and DisseminationService has the following Relationships:
1..* Output Specification
1..* InformationResource.resource
0..* DisseminationService
0..* DisseminationActivity
0..* DisseminationService
0..* DisseminationService
0..* Representation
What are the consequences for the attributes and relationships if we view DisseminationService as a subtype of BusinessService?
Discussion in the GSIM Implementation Group
The subtype does not need to be in the same group as the type.
Several participants supported the DisseminationService as a subtype of BusinessService and are encouraged to use like on the recommendation.
We will need to examine the attributes and relationships in more detail.
DisseminationService should be a subtytpe of BusinessService.
As raised during the meeting, formally defining Dissemination Service as a subtype of Business Service will necessitate some work on text and attributes in the next version of GSIM. I think they are already aligned conceptually, but making that alignment obvious to users in practice in terms of human readable documentation and UML will require some thought, discussion and work. Maybe this should be recorded as a kind of note in conjunction with the recommendation so we remember that implementing the recommendation entails much more than just setting a subclass relationship in the UML. (While it entails more work, I think it is work we should do and that will lead GSIM to being that little more rationalised, consistent and easier to implement.)

People! It's The Return of "People Who Work Here" Starring Shabazz Palaces' Ishmael Butler
When it comes to listening to the public, we here at Sub Pop like to stick our fingers into our ears and make a really loud humming noise, both literally and metaphorically. But, the recent hue and cry to resurrect our old "People Who Work Here" column has finally become too much for even us to ignore. "People Who Work Here" is, of course, the long-running and even longer-dormant column in which we crawl inside the heads of the weirdos who call Sub Pop HQ home for something like forty hours (give or take—usually take) each week. As the column's original author is now too busy running our Licensing Department (way to go, Lacey Swain!) to be bothered with this sort of thing, we've drafted our new (and former) receptionist to take over as staff interviewer. His name is Derek Erdman and he claims to have a degree in English. You be the judge!
The first subject of the new "People Who Work Here" is, naturally, the newest (and, arguably, most famous) addition to the Sub Pop family, Ishmael Butler. Ish was no stranger to Sub Pop when he accepted the job; he's also 1/2 of Shabazz Palaces! So far, a number of the ladies (and most likely some dudes, too) in the office have described Ish as "hunky," and his commanding demeanor has office meetings running much more smoothly. We could go on and on, or you could just read more below.
Derek: Hello, Ish! Wait… I guess I should ask if it's okay to call you Ish… Is it? Also, do you have any other nicknames? Anything from your childhood, or anything that you didn't like to be called?
Ish: My friends call me Ish, you can call me Pookie or Carmine until friendship.
D: Did you have a favorite toy as a child? If so, what was it?
I: My favorite toy as a child: cigarettes.
D: What about cartoons, did you watch them as a kid? What did you like? What was your TV like? Mine was a giant wooden thing, it must have weighed 500 lbs.
I: Cartoons, of course, I'm normal. My favorites: all Looney Tunes; Sylvester, Yosemite, Daffy, Bugs, Foghorn. These beings laid the foundation for my philosophical outlook and also of course how I relate to women.
D: What about your first bike? What was it like?
I: I'd love to talk about my first bike but I'm under a sponsorship contract with Alex at 20/20 and I can't mention any other bike or say the word bicycle.
D: One of my favorite things to know about a person: what is your favorite thing to eat? I'm really particular to Triscuits with cottage cheese on top. Do you have any food combinations that you're fond of? Are there foods that you really don't like at all?
I: I like to combine food with hunger, it's a little something I do.
D: What about pet peeves about other people eating? I don't mind when people chew with their mouth open, but I'm aware that it bothers some people. I floss my teeth while working at the front desk, does that bother you?
I: I don't like when people say "sorry" for shit that there is no need to be sorry about. And yes, your flossing bothers us all, bro.
D: Do you remember your very first introduction to music? What was the setting? Who else was involved? Do you still re-visit that music today?
I: My first introduction to music: I was in the 9th grade and my girlfriend was in the 12th grade. She told me to walk her to her friend's house during lunch. When we got there she had the key and we were the only ones there. She played a song for me that I had not heard until that day. Yes, I revisit that music. I'm going to listen to it when I get home.
D: What about your first introduction to Sub Pop—do you remember that?
I: The first time I came to the offices I chilled in Andy's [Kotowicz] cube for Hella. He was playing cut after ridiculous cut. His eyes sparkling behind his glasses, talking about songs like I would talk about a girl I love.
D: What did you expect working at Sub Pop to be like?
I: I thought it would be like I had seen Tony K. doing it around town, you know, getting in free to shows, getting twisted backstage, throwing drinks in bouncers' faces, making a fool of myself and it being ok because "I work at the Sub, bitch." But there're all kinds of meetings and shit.
D: How is being an employee at Sub Pop compared to being an artist on the label?
I: I expected working here to be serious and fun.
D: What advice would you give other new employees of Sub Pop? What about the ones that have been here FOREVER?
I: New employees: try to use the bathroom before lunch. Old employees: form a band called Power Trip but spell it PWr tRYp and whisper to the new employees how you should be "singin' lead, man."
D: Any advice you have for musicians who'd like to be signed by Sub Pop? How about for people who want to get a job here?
I: If you want to get a job here don't try sleeping your way to the top. IT DOESNT WORK. You just get a few t-shirts and when they say you're on the all access list, you're not.
D: Do you have any ideas for new Sub Pop merchandise? I've been thinking Sub Pop shower curtains would be a good idea.
I: Sup Pop stem cell samples from bands!
D: Thanks, Ish! And welcome aboard this sinking (since 1988) ship!

If you can remember working on early threshing machines you are older than most citizens of Kiowa County.
The good old days are fondly remembered by most folks, but harvesting was a lot more than a little chore in those days — it was hard work!
If you missed out on the good old days you will have an opportunity to live or relive some of those experiences at the 49th Annual Southwest Kansas Antique Engine & Thresher Show held at Haviland on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 23-24 for free, thanks to the generosity of sponsoring businesses. The event will be located at 502 E. Walnut in Haviland (the Konkel homestead).
This event was originally started at Joyland in Wichita, according to one source and was moved to Haviland in 1965.
Among the original organizers of the event were Howard Ellis, Lloyd Fankhauser, Bill Arnett, Frank Schmidt and the only two original organizers still alive, according to Dan Woods, Lloyd Schmidt and Dean Chenoweth.
The event was originally held at the school grounds in Haviland but was moved to the Konkel homestead in the early 1980s when it was donated to the project.
The old farmhouse and original barn are still standing on the property.

- What makes your small kitchen so cool:
- The cork flooring! I have problems with my knees and plantar fasciitis in both feet, so the fact that the flooring "gives" when I'm standing and cooking for hours is awesome. Every cook should not only have the appliances and utensils needed - they should also be comfortable!
- Describe a challenge you've overcome or a smart resource you've found for your kitchen.:
- Storage and counter space. We have no upper cabinets but have pull out drawers for dishes and glasses. To compensate for the loss of additional storage, we added in a space for a rollout cart with a butcher block top. This gives me an additional prep space, room for heavy dutch ovens as well as a bit of storage and baskets for potatoes and onions. We have everything we need kept in a minimal space.
- What's your favorite meal to cook here?:
- Filet mignon, grilled asparagus, garlic mashed potatoes and a great glass of red wine.

Nicole Toscano is 19, uses a walker to get around and lives in Haverhill, Mass. But when she visits her medical team in Providence, she feels like she's coming home.
Since she was 15 and was diagnosed with reflex sympathetic dystrophy by physicians at Hasbro Children's Hospital, Nicole's home away from home has been the Ronald McDonald House. She stayed at the house for four weeks in 2009 and then for three months a year later while she underwent physical therapy and doctors worked out a plan to control her pain. Her diagnosis came as a shock for, until her joints started giving way, she was an active child and played sports.
"Things didn't work out as I had planned," Nicole told a gathering in the kitchen-dining area of the house on Gay Street in the shadow of Rhode Island and Women & Infants' Hospitals. Nicole said the convenience of the house was obvious, but it is the people that make it like home.
"The volunteers care so much about what they're doing," she said. "Whoever gets to stay here is so lucky."
Dan Cunningham of Warwick feels the same way about the house. He's not undergoing medical treatment and, obviously, if he was he wouldn't need the Ronald McDonald House. Cunningham is a member of its board of directors. He also spoke at Tuesday's luncheon, where perspective board members and volunteers learned about the house and its plans.
Cunningham said a study of the area serviced by Providence hospitals indicated they need 28 rooms, or 10 more than what they now provide. How those rooms will be added, and the cost, hasn't been determined. One option is to build up by adding another story to the white clapboard house, a sanctuary of hominess amidst the steel, brick and glass of surrounding hospitals and office buildings. Another possibility is reconfiguring the existing structure and eliminating such amenities as the boardroom, which also serves as the Christmas room at that time of year. That's the time when Cunningham visits the house in a red suit and wears a white beard. He loves his role.
Another view of the house's importance came from Dr. Joseph Bliss, who cares for newborns at Women & Infants'. He said of the 9,000 deliveries made annually at the hospital, 10 percent spend time in intensive care. For some it is a brief stay but others, especially those with less than 37 weeks pre-term, it can be weeks and even months.
He said maximizing development for these babies hinges on family-centered care. An important part is skin-to-skin contact with mothers and breast-feeding. He recommends the mother be present for the feeding every three hours, which can be difficult for a mother not within a short drive. That's where Ronald McDonald House steps in.
"It isn't just for convenience," says Bliss. "It makes for healthier children, too."
"We're here to help the families," Cunningham said of the 145 volunteers who give more than just their time. All the furniture is donated by Cardi's Furniture. Peter Cardi served on the original board that built the house 22 years ago. Johnson & Wales students cook meals for the house; Panera Bread regularly donates food; Hasbro donates toys; and Coke-a-Cola donates beverages. There are also arrangements giving families at the house access to the YMCA and the Jewish Community Center at no cost.
Operating funds are largely raised through donations and special events. The house operates on a $930,000 budget, of which McDonald's provides 12 to 15 percent, said Jill Precopio, the director of development. The company played a huge role in getting Providence started. Families staying at the house are requested to make a $10 donation per night.
Nicole won't be staying at the house that much longer, although her treatments will continue. She will be moving into a dorm room at Providence College, where she will study social work.
"This has been a great way to do a test run for college," she said.
That probably wasn't the founders' intention, but then there are many ways that just having a home can help.

Btw do we know he is a virgin still? I assume after waking up from cold sleep, he'd be two things: hungry and horny..... It'd be rather cruel of Ezelcant not to provide on his trusted lieutenants/pawns some female companionship

You'd think after all these years though that they would have dozens of different suits set up for Zeheart. Didn't think after all this time we'd have him once again complaining about a suit not being able to keep up with him.

Well, Zeydra and Ghirarga were one-off models that were designed with Zeheart as its pilot in mind. The Wrozzo, on the other hand, is a mass-production model and they likely couldn't customize it to fully compensate for Zeheart's capabilities--same with the Zedas R. They tried, but failed. Situationally, the Wrozzo was better-suited for that battle than the Ghirarga was, hence why Zeheart was using an inferior mobile suit.

(1.) End of Gen 2: Zeheart has his panties in a bunch that he can't rely on his crutch to just win. If you remember when Gen 2 started, he nearly got his head cut off by Asemu in a relic out of the barn and was saved purely because of said crutch (he nearly got headshot in his upgraded suit by the AGE-2, and again was saved by his magic powers). No matter how you shake it, Asemu was presented as more talented as a pilot (fighting a trained military combatant and pilot with NO training military or real piloting background), the most talented in the whole series probably, he just doesn't have magic brain powers.
(2.) Flit was capable of holding back Zeheart with a 30+ year old machine while the latter was in his updated red-thing, the name of which escapes me. Flit was talented as a pilot but he was presented to be fairly close to Woolf in terms of pure piloting skills but, unlike Woolf, had magic brain powers.
(3.) In Gen 3 the brain magic vs. brain magic fights of Kio vs. Zeheart were fairly even, the Ghirarga did not appear to have any over the top advantage over a kid who was piloting for the first time. The Wrozzo was fighting an angry and very much reckless Kio but managed to draw out a stalemate. As of so far, there's no overly large gap established between Kio and Zeheart.
Now, in Gen 3 when Asemu reappears, he's completely toying with his son. He doesn't do anything but dodge and kick, he could have shredded Kio and the AGE-3 if he were out for blood. Think about the circumstances of the fights he's also had, he and a small group of suits have been taking out what are likely heavily armed and manned military vessels. (Took out SID...)
As of this episode even the Bisidian grunts are presented as far more skilled than the Diva grunts.
They could have over represented it and we might get a worf effect with Asemu, but as it stands I don't there's much of a contest.

The Wrozzo vs Fortress fight was not a stalemate, Zeheart's mobile suit clearly wasn't up to the task because it's performance was lacking. It lacked firepower, and response time. Had it given out before Kio left Zeheart would've lost and it was all because of the machine, not the pilot.

I equated Flit to Woolf because that lets us indirectly compare Flit to Asemu, though Woolf.
Gundam has always had pilots who are beyond good in piloting but have no magic powers.
And the rest of what you said is silly.

The AGE-1 is superior to the Zedas and Zedas-R. The latter just received small upgrades to x-rounder compatibility, that's it. For someone who claims to have watched the show, your memory of certain events, particularly those that contradict your opinions, is rather lacking. The Zedas-R was upgraded AFTER Zeheart left the colony, and even then it still couldn't keep up with his reaction speed, not to mention it broke down during its test . So yes, it was inferior to the AGE-1 because the AGE-1 never had any of those problems when Flit used, and Flit is shown to be a high level x-rounder, perhaps not as strong as Zeheart but pretty damn close.

Zedas-R, in being a custom model, was certainly built and upgraded to match Zeheart's abilities long before its debut. What it receives later are further modifications. Otherwise, why make it a point of giving him a specialized machine? It means its built to match him. It was later upgraded to match his ever increasing abilities.
I'm actually checking each episode I reference as I write, but whatever.

The Zedas-R was not built to match Zeheart's ability. You might want to reference episode 20, specifically the conversation between Zeheart and Daz, right after he damages the Zedas-R testing its upgrade. He says no mobile suit has ever been able to keep up with him, and even with a partial upgrade the Zedas-R is still not sufficient. Daz says to wait until the ZEYDRA is finished. That's because the Zeydra is the mobile suit that's actually built and tuned specifically for Zeheart. All the Zedas-R is, is a Zedas with increaased X-Rounder functionality. It was never specifically designed for Zeheart.

Keep in mind what the Zedas is--it, like the Gafran, the Baqto, the Dorado, the Wrozzo--a mass production model mobile suit. One intended for X-Rounders, if we take into account every single character who piloted one was an X-Rounder. But still a mass-production model nonetheless. The extent of its tuning for specific people would be limited, like the Wrozzo.

At the end of the day, the Zedas-R, slow and standard issue as it may be, was tuned/built specifically for Zeheart. The AGE-1 was built for Flit by Flit and evolved over years of use by Flit to match him. It was never built, upgraded, or customized to match Asemu's fighting style (as he'd be far more suited for the Spallow configuration, not the Normal).
This is what you have:
-Trained military pilot since youth.
-Magic powers
-Custom unit to at least accentuate some of his strengths.
-A civilian with no prior training.
-No magic powers.
-In a unit that neither compliments his fighting style nor one even remotely built with him in mind.
-Normal < Zedas < Spallow as of Gen-1's conclusion.
And yet, in Ep. 18, you have Mr. Trained Service Military Man getting out paced by a kid who picked up the Gundam for the third time in his life. I don't see how, without magic powers, one can claim that Zeheart is better than Asemu.
@Rising, remember that by the time of Gen-2 the AGE-1 is effectively also a mass produced unit, though of better build quality since it was specifically built to be the best it could at the time. The Adelle's are likely not much worse than the AGE-1 as they are based on it but they get trashed by the Zedas. The Zedas was a one of a kind in Gen-1 and Zedas-M is an extension of it, it also becomes mass produced by Gen-2 as we see it in the hands of the M8.

Again, the Zeydra is the only mobile suit that's actually built and fine tuned specifically for Zeheart. The Zedas platform is, despite whatever small cosmetic mods, a mass produced grunt suit.
Flit is almost as strong of an X-Rounder as Zeheart, and he has no problems keeping up with the Zeydra in AGE-1. Mind you that the AGE-1 doesn't have have any issues keeping up with Flit's abilities and it never breaks like the Zedas-R. That right there proves that the upgraded AGE-1 is superior to the Zedas-R.
It doesn't matter if AGE-1 isn't tuned to Asemu, it's still a high performance machine that simply outmuscles the Zedas

And, correct me if I'm wrong, but a total of nine Zedas (and the original, so ten in total) =/= mass produced.
You must compare AGE-1 Normal, pre-Flat, to Zedas-R Standard, in which case there is no clear distinction between the machines aside from what we have in Gen-1 that Spallow >= Zedas >= AGE-1 Normal.

I wouldn't say Asem was untrained. He did pilot other mobile suits in combat situations thanks to his school. Sure, inexperienced in actual military combat but by that third battle he knew what he was doing. Hell, thanks to the Zedas R's reaction time to Zeheart, he almost won that fight.
Where exactly was it said that the FLAT was given considerable upgrades, anyway? We only know it was given equipment to help Flit command in battle, and made so that it didn't need the AGE System to activate. Far as I know, there wasn't any actual combat upgrades installed to the FLAT during its conversion process. It's improvements had come from the AGE System beforehand.

Dear Annie: My son's estranged wife has reported him to child protective services six times and to the police for various things she's invented over the past three years. Due to her false accusations, he has been arrested three times. He has been found innocent of all charges, but she persists.
Dear Annie: I am a 16-year-old girl in high school.
Dear Annie: I have worked for many years at a small family-owned company.
Dear Annie: I'm a 13-year-old girl. Last night, my mom and I decided to watch a movie together at home.
Dear Annie: I am 73, and my wife is 68. We've been married 36 years, and we are healthy, active churchgoers. My wife had two young children when we married, and our son, "Cal," is now 34. We have helped all three of our kids financially, as well as with babysitting, yard work, etc. And we are frugal, partly so we can leave as much money to the kids as possible.
Dear Annie: My bullheaded 50-year-old daughter has taken gossip from 32 years ago to make my life a living hell. I have four grown children. My older daughter called everyone she could think of and told them I molested my son when he was 5. My daughter never checked to see whether it was true. I have never been arrested for this or had charges filed against me. She further told all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren that they should never stop at my home.
Dear Annie: My daughter has a master's degree in education and spent three years as a nanny when she was an undergraduate.
Dear Annie: My wife and I are caught up in our son's dysfunctional marriage. "Martin" and his wife have three children together, and he has an older child from a previous marriage. All of the children are wonderful. They do well in school. But their mom and dad hate each other, drink too much and fight constantly.
Dear Annie: I've been married to "Ned" for 25 years, and each year it seems to get worse. When we married, he told me I could do whatever I wanted with the house, but he never said I'd be the one paying.
Dear Annie: I have an 8-month-old puppy, and I take her to a local dog park so she can run off leash and play with the other dogs, which she loves. In the three months I have been taking her, "Phoebe" has never been attacked or fought with another dog. That was until last night, when Phoebe approached another dog that was on a leash and that dog attacked her.
Dear Annie: I am finally divorced. My ex and I have a minor child together. He has met my new partner, and they get along great while at our son's sporting events. I thought it would be healthy for our son to see us as friends.
Dear Annie: My husband and I have been happily married for 15 years and recently decided to try an open-marriage lifestyle. We are doing this with full honesty and respect for each other. The main problem is that the dating success is not equal. I found it easier to get a date. Whereas, my husband is having a tremendous degree of difficulty. He has online dating profiles, but no luck.
Dear Annie: My grandfather passed away last month, and the wake was catered by a close friend of the family who owns a restaurant. He closed off a section of his dining hall for our family.
Dear Annie: I am a 57-year-old man with no siblings, and my mother is deceased. My 82-year-old father is physically healthy, but he's in the early stages of dementia.
Dear Annie: Recently, my wife and I stayed for four days at the home of one of her school chums.

Pallets In The Home
The use of shipping pallets in the home is a bit of a trend; we've run across numerous projects recently. There are so many different ways these unique blocks of wood can be utilized by keeping them whole or reassembling them to create one of a kind pieces of furniture.
One of the most unique and beautiful ways we've seen pallets used is in a pretty unlikely place — the kitchen. Disassembling several pallets and reconstructing them, a beautiful and unique kitchen island was made. Painted black it turns into this modern and industrial addition to the space!
A rather common use of pallets is as a bed frame. Place them on the floor (or better yet on castors) and put one or several mattresses on top. While this might not be the ideal set up for a bed used every night, it's perfect for a lounger in a sunroom.
Have you used pallets in your home?
