After reading the paper by Dave Jaffe and Michael Yuan on Seam performance, I was wondering if the authors had more data on number of concurrent users.
For example, if you had 25,000 concurrent users, what would be the performance figures. (I am assuming 25,000 concurrent testing threads would mean about 150,000 -200,000 real users... which would be traffic on a normal consumer site.. Does anybody has concurrent user figures on popular consumer web sites?)
Also the graphs show response times > 1 sec. What is the upper bound of the response times in the graphs. For example, during stress testing 30 percent of the response times are > 1 sec. How much more than 1 sec. are the response times.

The 1930 Ashes series saw a young Don Bradman dominate the tour, scoring 974 runs in his seven Test innings. He scored 254 at Lord's, 334 at Headingley and 232 at The Oval. Australia regained the Ashes winning the series 3–1. As a result of Bradman's prolific run-scoring the England captain Douglas Jardine chose to develop the already existing leg theory into fast leg theory, or bodyline, as a tactic to stop Bradman. Fast leg theory involved bowling fast balls directly at the batsman's body. The batsman would need to defend himself, and if he touched the ball with the bat, he risked being caught by one of a large number of fielders placed on the leg side.
Pakistan made their first tour of England in 1954 and drew the series 1–1 after a victory at The Oval in which fast bowler Fazal Mahmood took 12 wickets. Pakistan's first home Test match was against India in January 1955 at Bangabandhu National Stadium, Dacca, East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), after which four more Test matches were played in Bahawalpur, Lahore, Peshawar and Karachi (all five matches in the series were drawn, the first such occurrence in Test history. In the same year, New Zealand toured Pakistan for their first series against them. They defeated New Zealand by an innings and 1 run in the first test and won the 2nd test match by 4 wickets. The final test ended in a draw, resulting Pakistan's first ever Test series win with 2-0 margin.
Queensland did decide to formally join the association with one delegate member the following year, and the constitution was amended in 1906, so that New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria would each have three permanent representatives, and Queensland one representative. In 1907 Tasmania was also permitted to send a single representative, and Western Australia did likewise in 1913. Changes to this structure were made in 1914 and 1974 respectively when Queensland and Western Australia formally increased their representation to two each.

The team is considered a strong but unpredictable team. Traditionally Pakistani cricket has been composed of talented players but is alleged to display limited discipline on occasion, making their performance inconsistent at times. In particular, the India-Pakistan cricket rivalry is usually emotionally charged and can provide for intriguing contests, as talented teams and players from both sides of the border seek to elevate their game to new levels. Pakistan team contests with India in the Cricket World Cup have resulted in packed stadiums and highly charged atmospheres. The team is well supported at home and abroad, especially in the United Kingdom where British Pakistanis have formed a fan-club called the "Stani Army". Members of the club show up to matches across the country and are known to provide raucous support. The Stani Army also takes part in charity initiatives for underprivileged Pakistanis, including annual friendly cricket matches against British Indian members of the similar "Bharat Army".

The England team, with Brearley's exit in 1980, was never truly settled throughout the 1980s, which will probably be remembered as a low point for the team. While some of the great players like Botham, Gooch and Gower had fine careers, the team seldom succeeded in beating good opposition throughout the decade and did not score a home Test victory (except against minnows Sri Lanka) between September 1985 and July 1990.
At the 1992 World Cup Semi-final, having won the toss, New Zealand chose to bat first and ended with a total of 262 runs. Pakistan batted conservatively yet lost wickets at regular intervals. With the departure of Imran Khan and Saleem Malik shortly thereafter, Pakistan still required 115 runs at a rate of 7.67 runs per over with veteran Javed Miandad being the only known batsman remaining at the crease. A young Inzamam-ul-Haq, who had just turned 22 and was not a well-known player at the time, burst onto the international stage with a match-winning 60 off 37 balls. Once Inzamam got out, Pakistan required 36 runs from 30 balls, which wicket-keeper Moin Khan ended with a towering six over long off, followed by the winning boundary to midwicket. The match is seen as the emergence of Inzamam onto the international stage.[37][38][39]
The quarterfinal match of Pakistan was against Australia. Pakistan scored 213 runs. Australia started steadily but wickets regularly fell during the middle overs. The match gained a lot of attraction due to the on-field rivalry between Australian all-rounder, Shane Watson and Pakistani pacer, Wahab Riaz. Wahab's spell was praised despite not picking up many wickets. Pakistan dropped catches during the first power-play and conceded many runs. The partnership between Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell allowed Australia to win the match. As a result, Pakistan were knocked out of the tournament. The match was the final ODI for Pakistani's captain Misbah-ul-Haq and experienced all-rounder Shahid Afridi.
84.1 FOUR! Mitchell Starc to Imran Khan. Length ball, outside off stump backing away driving, well timed in the air under control past long off for 4 runs. An incredible shot back over Starc's head. Imran gave himself so much room to allow him to free the arms and he nailed the stroke. Australia's openers will be getting twitchy as the runs keep counting down.

If the 1980s were a low point for English Test cricket, then the 1990s were only a slight improvement. The arrival of Gooch as captain in 1990 forced a move toward more professionalism and especially fitness though it took some time for old habits to die. Even in 2011, one or two successful county players have been shown up as physically unfit for international cricket. Creditable performances against India and New Zealand in 1990 were followed by a hard-fought draw against the 1991 West Indies and a strong performance in the 1992 Cricket World Cup in which the England team finished as runners-up for the second consecutive World Cup, but landmark losses against Australia in 1990–91 and especially Pakistan in 1992 showed England up badly in terms of bowling. So bad was England's bowling in 1993 that Rod Marsh described England's pace attack at one point as "pie throwers". Having lost three of the first four Tests played in England in 1993, Gooch resigned to be replaced by Michael Atherton.
With Australia sending a weakened team and the South African bowlers being ineffective England dominated the tournament winning four of their six matches. The match between Australia and South Africa at Lord's was visited by King George V, the first time a reigning monarch had watched Test cricket.[24] England went on one more tour before the outbreak of the First World War, beating South Africa 4–0, with Barnes taking 49 wickets in the series.

Sherlock was anything but inconspicuous, very green in his profession, and really quite droopy when the heat was on. He was incapable of clever deductions, witty remarks, or even a marginally British accent. He would have made a terrible detective.
He was, however, a fantastic basil plant.
Most people don't name their herbs, but sometimes you just get so attached to them, you know?
And Sherlock was one of those memorable guys. His moniker is a result of my (very rational) train of thought: Basil Rathbone was a prominent actor in older Holmes films, and while it's pronounced differently, it seems to be pointing directly to the necessity of all basil plants hereafter being named for his character.
My Sherlock may not have thrived in regards to mental faculties, but his physical capabilities are legendary. Most basil plants grow to a height of a foot or two, retaining a fairly slender stem, which might grow woody as the plant matures and flowers.
Sherlock, however, was pretty much a tree. I don't remember how we felled his several feet of herbaceous height, but we probably needed an ax to get through that trunk.
He was Genovese basil, a popular cultivar of sweet basil; while most of the basil varieties we are familiar with are from sweet basil's family, some are cultivars of other basil species and some are hybrids. Basil does cross-pollinate and hybridize itself easily, so it's hard to classify types, but there are around 150 recognized varieties.
While all different kinds I've ever had retain that distinct basilly aftertone, other flavors and attributes abound in greater variety than you might expect. Lemon, cinnamon, licorice, and clove basils are all rather self-explanatory; as are mammoth, Osmin purple, African blue, and dwarf bush basils.
We usually associate basil with Italian dishes, but it actually originated farther east in India and China. Apparently, it was often important beyond culinary utilization, and carried great cultural symbolic meaning. Sources denote basil featured prominently in Egyptian embalming, Greek mourning, Eastern European sacraments, Hindu shrines, and Portuguese romance.
It's safe to say it's a worldwide favorite, and complements a global diversity of cuisines. As a bonus, basil also offers diverse health benefits -- it's from the mint family, one of the healthiest herbs out there, and is one of those nutrient-dense "dark leafy greens" you always hear about. The essential oils naturally contained in basil feature a variety of antioxidants and phytonutrients, and depending on whom you're talking to, can treat inflammation and arthritis, ease gastrointestinal distress, and reduce stress while increasing mental clarity.
That last part is hard to argue with, because wow, have you ever held a handful of fresh basil to your face and breathed in deeply?
It's basil-ically the best.

Posted August 12, 2016
GREENVILLE, Pa.—Thiel College student Camille Radford '18, of Baltimore, recently spent two weeks in Thailand caring for elephants and other animals. As part of a veterinary training program, Radford and other volunteers learned about the treatment of dogs, rabbits, cats, water buffalo and elephants.
Radford—a biology and English major at Thiel—is a 2013 graduate of Baltimore City College High School. She traveled to Thailand with the Boston-based group Loop Abroad. Their veterinary service program takes college students overseas to learn alongside local veterinarians from two different shelters in Thailand.
In the first week, students volunteered at the Animal Rescue Kingdom dog shelter in Chiang Mai, Thailand—a facility that houses more than 100 rescued dogs. The group then spent the second week at the Elephant Nature Park in northern Thailand to work with pachyderms and learn about animal rescue and conservation. The Elephant Nature Park is home to more than 40 elephants that have been rescued from trekking, logging or forced breeding programs. Students feed, bathe and care for the animals, as well as learn to diagnose them alongside an elephant vet. The park is sustained by weekly volunteers like Radford from all around the globe.
"Being over 20 hours away from home and put into a different culture was incredible," Radford said. "I grew up in those two weeks away and became a more aware person. Going to Thailand opened my eyes to everything I took for granted in the states. I would not hesitate to go overseas again because it's the most life changing experience I have ever had."
About Thiel College
Thiel College is a private liberal arts institution founded in the Lutheran tradition. Located in Greenville, Pa., the College offers 60 majors and minors, 25 varsity sports, and a 10:1 student-faculty ratio to more than 900 students.

Jane Mueller from Beltrami County demonstrated the County's new one-stop page for GIS maps and apps and how the county is using ArcGIS Online to manage its land information and deploy GIS across the organization. This page and its geospatial apps were developed by Pro-West & Associates, with new applications added regularly. It is available at the Beltrami County Interactive Maps gallery.
The future of the User Group was also addressed, with a needs assessment to identify important topics for future meetings. Users were interested in discussing data standards, public domain data, drones in remote sensing, and user round tables.

DeMac Contracting was great! Hired two guys for 3 hours. 3 guys showed up and they worked fast, carefully, and efficiently. They were prepared with necessary tools. It was obvious that all 3 were experienced moving big heavy furniture and used some finesse to navigate some tight corners. I will absolutely use them for my next move.
The First Class Moving Services guys arrived 10 minutes early, ready to work. I needed their help loading a 7x7 PODS container for cross-country travel, with everything balanced and anchored properly. They carefully wrapped all of my furniture in the moving blankets I provided (hint: you will need more than you think) before loading each piece into the POD. As soon as everything was loaded, they anchored it all with rope using the internal tie-downs. They worked hard, finished with time to spare, and were quite respectful of my belongings and the house they were removed from. I would use First Class Moving Services without hesitation and without any reservations,. Great Job!!
Steve and Chris were efficient, professional, and did a great job. We highly recommend Leave It Moving LLC for any of your moving needs in the KC area.
This team did a great job hustling and proactively getting our stuff together. Dan was great at Tetrising our furniture! Very nice to work with, polite and super helpful. Thanks so much!
Smooth Moves was great, we hired them to load our moving containers. The movers were courteous, professional, and got everything moved in the allotted time. They were personable, and took great care of our stuff. I especially appreciate that they were willing to help us out during this COVID-19 mess.

First off, let me stress that I am not making this up. This is not me exaggerating for effect or making an early April Fool's Day joke. Sit down and mentally prepare yourself for what I am about to share with you.
Let me set the scene.
This is a beautiful spring morning. Through my office window, I can see a pair of cardinals hopping in a tree. The bright-red male vividly stands out, while his mate with her muted gray feathers blends in against a backdrop of limbs and branches. I've always marveled at this chivalrous peculiarity of nature — the male cardinal, painted red to attract all the attention and thereby protect the mother of his children from a hungry varmint.
Okay, so I'm no Robert Frost. Just bear with me.
All the pieces were in place for a blissful start to the day. Then I ruined it all by taking a break and turning on the TV for 10 minutes.
During that 10 minutes, I learned about a show called "Married at First Sight." In this program, a panel of so-called experts puts together three or four couples from a pool of willing participants. These couples do not meet until their marriage ceremony starts. They truly get til-death-do-us-part married the first time they see each other.
That's the bad news.
Here's the worse news: it's in its second season, which means enough advertisers lined up after the first season to walk down the aisle again.
I have never been a fan of reality TV. I am simply not interested in who gets kicked off the island, who gets the rose, what the Kardashians are up to or how the Robertsons think everyone should act.
But, I am morbidly curious about "Marriage at First Sight." How in the world could people volunteer for a social experiment where the winner marries someone they have never met?
One of the participants said he volunteered for the show because so many marriages resulting from traditional courtships are failing. That's like flapping your arms real hard and jumping off a skyscraper because you are afraid to fly in a plane.
I hope the producers of this show attach a hidden microphone to the bride and groom to capture that magical moment when they first see each other. I can hear some of the spontaneous comments now:
"Oh, great. It's Marvin from bookkeeping."
"Why are you holding a cat?"
"Let's hurry this along. We've got a Tilt-A-Whirl to set up."
Who doesn't remember spending their honeymoon trying to learn their spouse's name? Imagine that precious moment when the new hubby tells you why you cannot live within 500 feet of a school for the next 3 years.
Heck, let's just go on and get a baby on the way so when the holy matrimony thingy goes down the tubes in 11 days, the couple can continue their acting career on "Custody Wars" – which I am convinced probably already exists.
It's almost too sad to joke about.
Those cardinals outside the window mate for life. But, even with their little bird brains, I'll bet they shop around a day or two before deciding who to settle down with.
Until this morning, I thought humans did the same thing.

i wish i could retract
every cold shoulder,
withheld hand,
rude word,
eye roll,
PMS-inspired interpretation,
self-centered conversation,
sly sarcastic word
and any other instance
of angry black woman-ness
and replace it with
pure cane sugariness
sucked on and dripped down
the corners of your smile
in a tropical land we've never been
(maybe Guyana?)
i wanna give you
agave nectar for your agape love
and stir it into a shining glass
of joy that comes naturally:
times i watch you in awe;
times i imagine the future without you
and see nothing at all;
times i remember my pain before you
and quietly know i'd jump through
the same hoops of fire
if you were on the other side.
you are like water
i drink in greedily to cool my insides.
i hope that i quench your thirst
as deeply as you do for me.
i know i can be bitter-tasting,
and for that, i'm sorry—
being sweet is new territory.
but for you, i will try
Dice Rollin
i'm happy you're my baby.
you got me feeling lucky–
no snake eyes with these dice,
all i'm rolling is sevens.
who thought a rainy day
could still feel like heaven?
you had me open since day 11
minus the one on the end.
when i looked in your eyes,
i saw the future as more than just friends.
i never thought i'd feel this way again,
never thought i'd not have to pretend
or sway in the wind
of scar-filled memories.
with you i have new leaves
and they're greener than the greenest green.
i'm higher than when i smoke marijuana trees
this relationship is so obsene,
so serene,
more beautiful than 1,000 sunsets
next to the sea of bliss in which we're swimming
and this is only the beginning.
Taste of Memories
certain foods get me thinking about you:
spicy curry atop rice and peas, fried "plant-in",
and cabbage salad on the side
transports me back to those times
when we shared more than meals–
culinary expert teaching naive me
how to season chicken and cook rice without burning it
and how to savor the flavor of coconut juice
that like you,
i drank and chewed.
our hearts steamed like fresh vegetables,
aroma making me hungry for more.
i had a large appetite back then,
begging you to feed me more of you,
tell me stories to make me swim to Caribbean islands,
expose me to different music styles and lifestyles
and herbs and such.
i quietly still want you to
intoxicate me with your touch like you used to do
because though it has been years,
after you, i've never been able to lay in a bed
and be completely relaxed.
my back never used to have this amount of tension
that only grows tighter from lack of attention.
even when i had problems back then,
they never seemed to be too much.
now i'm choking to death and my old life preserver
is probably the server of happy memories
to someone else.
i hope she's happy.
i hope you're happy,
emancipated from my hard head that refuses to forgive
and my sharp tongue that enjoys throwing knives.
will there be a next time?
i wonder if you'll ever be between more than my mind
like chicken patty in coco bread
washed down by fresh carrot juice.
will we return to our roots
or are they split ends
never go be rekindled again?
Jah knows best.
Fake Lovers
we are fake lovers,
spinning on a broken record
that's our jam
that causes us to dance
when we jump out of our crazy,
lonely lives to listen
to each other breathe into phone receivers
and wish for more.
we had more, baby.
we were Bonnie and Clyde
speeding down a highway
where reality chased
and there was no damn way
we were stepping on the brakes.
we were the Red Sea before
Moses lifted his staff to separate,
but now we live on two different sides–
there is dry land in between the wetness
that once lived in laughter that birthed tears
and bodies that danced in sheets without any cares
in the world but which one of us
will cum first.
"us" had come to an end
with no satisfaction
and now i wish i could wrap back then
in saran wrap or a silk napkin
and save the memories for when i am hungry.
i would eat them crumb by crumb for every night
i have to sleep alone with no one
beside me
or watch romantic movies
and end up sentimental and crying
or ponder the reasons
why love always seems to be dying
and dine on the times
when you and me were "we" thriving.
our love was alive like
Lazarus after Jesus wept
and we took steps
on a spiraling staircase that never seemed to end
until we tried to climb to future heights
and fell down to hell.
now shit is fire and i think you're a liar
but even though you burned me
you're still the best i've seen
with my near-sighted eyes
and i wish i could feel once more what we had.
and i wish we didn't move so fast
from strangers to lovers to soul mates
to exes to strangers
to this phase
of sporadic late night phone calls
and empty promises
and reminiscing of good night kissing
instead of hanging up with uncertainty
of when we'll speak again.
i miss my friend.
The Overdue Goodbye
i often wonder if
when you sleep at night in a room by yourself,
you still feel as if
you're locked down in a cell.
no longer 6 x 6 x 6
but really, what is your existence?
my heart feels trapped in jail with you
and i miss visiting hours often–
sometimes i get turned away because
my clothes are too tight or my attitude just ain't right
or i can't beat the traffic of nightly rush hour.
this sentence is sour.
you are free, but an inmate
and if i remember correctly,
your # was 98028618
but i don't remember the exact date
when i decided i couldn't love you anymore.
at times i feel torn,
knowing that you walk free and i am lonely
and that your dream is you and me
and as a result,
my curiosity fuels me to drive down dark alleys
that are dead ends.
i can no longer pretend that we have a future.
i look at the present
and see the ramifications of the past
and cry over wasted youth and good times
and silly mistakes and getting by
and tattooing our skin to show our love lines
and covering up the one of you that was mine
and replacing you,
erasing you with new memories and new guys,
some who hurt me worse than you
but at least they are fresh wounds.
baby, i miss you
as much as i act like i don't
but i missed me more,
didn't even recognize myself after i walked in doors,
was an empty shell whose spirit was piss-poor
and i ain't rich yet
but i ain't fully switched yet
and when my new channel comes through past the static
i won't forget what we had.
my first love, free jailbird,
my old siamese twin lovebird,
if i could say one word to you right now,
as much as it hurts me inside,
i would finally say
the overdue
It Was Just Sleeping
tonight i wept.
suppressed sighs escaped my mouth
and memories i thought were buried
burst out.
they streamed down my face
and shook me awake to the fact that
the misery is not gone.
it was just sleeping.
it awoke
when it heard the alarm of the familiar.
how strange it is
that memories become entangled with the brain,
creating knots in the heart
and quicksand for fresh starts
and new beginnings.
i want the ending.
Happy Birthday, Daddy
over the years,
i've had many friends
who grew up without fathers,
seen too many who only knew
the love of their mothers.
in them, i observe a hole that is never filled.
i thank God that i have never known that feeling.
one of my fondest childhood memories
consists of running from the school bus
to hug you who
stood smiling and waiting for me.
even today i am still that little girl,
the one who feels safe in your arms
with my face tickled by your beard.
i thank you for always being there.
in a crazy world,
you are stability.
in my childishness,
you know what i really need.
you inspire me to reach higher–
to run past mediocre
to the finish line of excellence.
i pray for the time when i will reach success
so that i can finally have the chance
to give back a portion
of what you have given me:
long nights with homework,
sincere prayers in the mornings,
large doses of wisdom,
generosity with everything.
your love is priceless–
one that sparkles whenever i call.
your love is a safety net
that always catches me when i fall.
your life is a treasure–
even in this falling economy,
your stock continues to grow
and on this day when you have grown
to becoming a more youthful old,
i honor you.
hallmark cards written by strangers
no longer have the power to say
that which i wish to tell you
on special days such as this.
even my own words seem inadequate
when it comes time to express
how much you mean to me.
so here is my attempt to say it in my own way:
for loving me,
i thank God for your birthday.
for raising me,
i thank God for your birthday.
for taking care of Mommy,
i thank God for your birthday
and because you're my Daddy,
i thank God for your birthday.
Missing Pieces
i kinda miss him
but i don't know why.
i still desire
the one who broke my heart,
hoping that he kept the misplaced pieces
in case he ran into me again.
maybe he hid me in his wallet
next to a year-old condom
or in the bottom drawer
under his socks with holes in them.
i certainly live in memories
that hold such crucial portions of me,
but it's physically impossible to reach
into another person's fantasies.
even if i had the opportunity
to sneak up on him while he sleeps,
i couldn't enter the territory of his dreams–
so parts of my soul are held hostage by a man
who i barely even know anymore.
and now when i laugh,
it's hard to ignore
that certain tones and melodies are missing–
it's the difference between a keyboard and a grand piano.
how much better is the original than a hip-hop sample?
i have dwindled into a preview
when i used to be director's commentary.
if i could stand on a platform and speak
to girls who remind me of me
the day before i gave me away,
i'd warn them not to.
i'd encourage them to hold on tight to their hearts
like the handlebars of a bike
on their first day without training wheels;
to stick to their sanity
as if they had crazy glue on their fingers
and couldn't remove them until they absolutely knew
that the love they imagined
was real.
i would drill into their heads to grip those hearts
like old white women do their purses
as young black men walk past them on streets,
to take precaution because
i don't want them to be like me,
searching for themselves in situations
that no longer exist,
wearing tanktops but
still finding their hearts on their wrists,
saying to themselves,
"i never thought it would be like this"
and shaking their heads when they realize that it is
and that there's no turning back,
just searching for that
piece of them that they gave away,
discovering a few moments too late
that they'll need their whole selves again one day.
Sexual Freedom
for reasons unanticipated and uninvited,
sexual freedom has become
an oxymoron to me.
perhaps because i am locked in a cage
of celibacy.
or more truthfully,
because the freeing of this pleasure
ended with a nightmare turned memory.
it's nearly impossible to enjoy events
that are now associated with pain.
one who loses a loved one on a holiday
always feels bittersweet feelings–
birthdays and thanksgiving are not the same.
and that's how i feel.
passion runs through me
but the thoughts of actually releasing it
die before conception.
my body is no longer aroused
and sour memories are housed
in the roof of my mouth
and the flesh of my heart.
i understand how i arrived at this ending
and it pains me to think of my start:
daring to be curious,
thriving off of taking chances,
naive without worries
and most of all,
the possibility of trust
now cuts my brain.
my warning alarms go off
and my eyes sprinkle rain.
i watch others who claim to be free
and shake my head in sadness
and reminisce on when
they used to be
*Written June 22, 2008*
why are friendships so short?
i miss old friends
i can't find the memories
i feel like i put them
in a random mail box as a prank
but forgot the house number.

Wednesday Evening
September 27, 2006
Acts 8:1-8
Philip Preaching Christ in Samaria
Dr. Derek W. H. Thomas
turn with me if you would to the Acts of the Apostles. Once again as we
continue to unfold the narrative that Luke provides for us of the spread of the
church from Jerusalem to Judea, to Samaria, and to the ends of the earth And
we'll see now tonight in Acts 8 that we cross a threshold — it's like peeling an
onion, the Acts of the Apostles — and no longer is the focus going to be
Up until now the focus in the first
seven chapters has entirely been Jerusalem. But something new and fundamentally
new is going to occur in the 8th chapter of Acts. And we see the
beginning of the fulfillment of that mandate that Jesus gave — His final words
before He ascended up into the clouds — that they were to be His disciples and
His witnesses in Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria, and in the uttermost parts of
the world.
And the thing that I want us
especially to focus on is the means by which God fulfilled that mandate and I
doubt this evening that it would have been the means that you and I would have
thought God would have used to bring that about.
Before we read the passage and I'm
going to read in Acts 8 following the sentence that Saul was approving the
execution of Stephen and halfway through the first verse of chapter 8.
Let's pray together.
"Father, we thank You again for
the Bible, for the scriptures, Your Holy Book. We thank You for the truth that
men wrote as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. We thank You that Your
Word is utterly trustworthy because it comes from You and You cannot lie or
deceive and therefore, the Bible cannot lie or deceive. We thank You for all
that it teaches us and pray this evening as we examine it together, come, Holy
Spirit, and shine into our minds and help us once again to read, mark, learn,
and inwardly digest. For Jesus sake. Amen."
Now hear with me
the Word of God:
"and they were scattered throughout the regions of
Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. Some devout men buried Stephen, and made
loud lamentation over him. But Saul began ravaging the church, entering house
after house; and dragging off men and women, he would put the in prison.
Therefore, those who had been scattered went about preaching the word. Philip
went down to the city of Samaria and began proclaiming Christ to them. The
crowds with one accord were giving attention to what was said by Philip, as they
heard and saw the signs which he was performing. For in the case of many who had
unclean spirits, they were coming out of them shouting with a loud voice; and
many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed. So there was much rejoicing in
that city."
Amen and may God
bless to us the reading of His Holy and inerrant Word.
I. Great Persecution.
Now one of the great documents from
the early church is a document, an apologia, and apology, written by Tertullian
from North Africa, and the very end of 50 chapters of the apologia, he has this
often quoted statement and I'm just going to read a couple sentences from it.
And he's speaking about a persecution, not the one in Acts 8, now, but
persecutions that have arisen during his lifetime — imprisonments, the carnage,
the martyrdom of many who have been cast into Roman amphitheaters and fed to
wild animals. And he says in a piece of exquisite rhetoric at the end of the
apologia, "You sacrifice the Christians at their wish. Kill us, torture us,
condemn us, grind us to dust. The oftener we are mown down by you the more in
number we grow."
And it's Tertullian throwing the gauntlet down to
bring it on because the more damage they seem to be doing, the more the church
seems to be growing. Well, on a dark night in the winter you want someone to
encourage you, go to Tertullian and read what that great North African leader of
the church said.
Well, here we are in Acts 8. Stephen
has been killed, brutally killed, by stoning. Stephen, of course, has thrown
down the gauntlet. He would have been aware of what he was doing. No longer
would the church be sheltered under the umbrella of Judaism that Rome afforded
protection via a law that went back 150-200 years, the religio licita [a
tolerated religion]
Now that Stephen had categorically
said that the temple was finished and that the law of Moses in all effects was
fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Once Stephen had uttered those words, the Sanhedrin
had heard blasphemy and in the eyes and ears, of course, of the Roman Empire,
Christianity was no longer just a troublesome sect of Judaism, it was something
entirely different.
And so the gauntlet has been thrown
down and further recriminations now come upon the church in Jerusalem, probably
upon a certain section of the church. In all likelihood, it is the Hellenistic
wing of the church. Those, you remember, Diaspora Jews who've lived a while in
the far off nations of the Roman Empire, perhaps speak Greek more than they
speak Aramaic or Hebrew. Perhaps less given to some of the ceremonial laws of
You remember the seven men elected in
Acts 6 were all Hellenists. Stephen was one. Philip will be another. And the
church is scattered the same day, the day Stephen died. The mob in Jerusalem now
take it upon themselves to wreak havoc in the church of Jerusalem. And here is
this picture of Saul, the man who had consented to the death of Stephen, here is
Saul and he's going to house-to-house and dragging men and women and putting
them in prison. And you've got this equivalent of a Christian Kristallnacht. You
remember in the Second World War and the Pogroms against the Jews in the German
cities of Dresden and other places, the so-called 'Kristallnacht'. Well, here is
Saul of Tarsus dragging men and women out of their houses and into prison.
Well, every cloud has a silver lining
they say. And, of course, from a Christian perspective, it does. And this is a
storm cloud. This is a storm cloud of typhoon or tornado or hurricane
proportions coming now all of a sudden on the city of Jerusalem. And thus a
silver lining because at the back of this storm cloud you can hear a voice and
it says, "Ask of Me and I will give you the nations for your inheritance and
the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession."
And there is the voice of God the
Father in the second Psalm, as it were, echoing above this storm cloud because
in the strange providence of God, through this pogrom in Jerusalem, God is going
to fulfill His promise and expand the church.
Now, I want us to see four things. I
want us to see, first of all continuing what I've just been saying, the great
persecution, a great persecution, as devout men are burying Stephen and perhaps
that's a reference not so much to believers who are burying Stephen, but perhaps
they're devout Jews who are appalled as to what has happened are burying
Stephen. This persecution breaks out at the hands of Saul of Tarsus.
And you remember when Paul later will
write his epistle to the Galatians and talks about his former life and how he
persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it. There was blood
on Paul's hands. He had tried to destroy the church of Jesus Christ. Here is
proof positive that Jesus is building His church within site of the very gates
of Hell in enemy occupied territory.
And there is a principle here that
Calvin refers to in a comment that he makes on 1 Peter 1 verse 11 that God has
so ordered the church from the very beginning that the cross is the way to
victory and death is the way to life and that good emerges out of a context of
evil and repression and persecution. It is the Jesus principle of John 12 that
unless a grain of wheat fall to the ground and die, it remains alone. It's only
as that grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies that fruit comes. It is the
principle that Paul enumerates as he writes to the Corinthian church in 2
Corinthians 4 and he tells them in the context of speaking about trials and
tribulations and sufferings, "Death works in us, but life in you so that the
sufferings of one or the sufferings of a community can in the providence and
overruling of God produce life elsewhere."
How is the Great Commission going to
be fulfilled? To go and make disciples of all nations because up until this
point, the church is more or less confined to Jerusalem. How is the Matthew 28
Great Commission, how is that going to be fulfilled?
And if you turn in your Bibles just a
couple of chapters, Luke gives a sort of backward glance at what we're looking
at here. In Acts 11:19, we pick up the story again and he says, "Now those who
scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as
Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch." They were scattered as far as Phoenicia and
Cyprus and Antioch up north and Antioch will become a far more important city
than Jerusalem. It'll become the mission base of the European mission. And in
the purposes of God, the grain of wheat that has to fall to the ground and die
is the Jerusalem church, the men and women who are being dragged from their
houses and being put in prison and as the church scatters as a consequence, out
of that God is fulfilling His purpose.
You want First Presbyterian Church to
be a mission church, a missionary reminded church? Some of you pray that prayer,
"Lord, make First Presbyterian Church a missionary-minded and mission-focused
Well, be careful when you pray that
prayer because I want to know that my car is full of gas before you pray that
prayer in case I have to leave town. Because how is God going to answer that
prayer? How did God answer the prayer to make the New Testament church a
mission-minded church, an outward-focused church instead of an inward focused
church? — By sending trouble — by sending trouble. Be careful what you pray for
because it seems to me that very often one of the obstacles to mission-focused
churches is the very prosperity that is ours. Because often that very prosperity
can produce in us a dreadful inertia and we spend our time doing the evangelical
and reformed equivalent of counting how many angels there are on the head of a
So we spend hours and hours
discussing the Reformed philosophy of going to the movies or the Christian view
of flower arranging when a world is dying and souls are passing every second
into a lost eternity — the Great Persecution.
II. Great
The second thing I want us to see is
great evangelism. I love the way Luke does this and it's almost shocking the way
he does it. He says they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and
Samaria except the apostles. And he mentions in verses 4 and 5 those who had
been scattered went about preaching the Word. It's not the apostles he's
referring to here. He's talking about ordinary men and women of the Jerusalem
church who have been scattered abroad in Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch and
other places. And they went about, now I really don't understand why Bible
translators insist on saying "preaching" the Word. The word isn't preaching.
It's the word for gospel. It's the word for evangel. And it just confuses things
when Bible translators insist on translating this word by preaching because what
they were doing was witnessing. What they were doing was gospeling. What they
were doing was gossiping the gospel. And it's every member evangelism. It's not
the elite few. It's not just those who had been trained in evangelism. This is
every member evangelism. All those who scattered abroad are going about and
they're gospeling the gospel, they're gossiping the gospel.
It's very interesting. Kenneth
Latourette, the Yale historian, says the chief agents in the expansion of
Christianity appear not to have been those who made it a profession, but men and
women who carried on their livelihood in some secular manner and spoke their
faith to those they met in this natural fashion, that the expansion of the
church at this point didn't depend upon the apostles, but on the grass roots,
men and women gossiping the gospel as they went.
Now, think about that because these
are men and women who've lost their homes, who have been scattered on the same
day, so they probably left much of their belongings behind them. They may even
have left members of their family who have been carried off into prison. And you
might have expected them to lie low and to hide somewhere in caves until the
trouble dies down and it's astonishing, it's breathtaking that these men and
women are going about and they're gossiping the gospel of Jesus Christ.
God uses people in evangelism, people
like you and me, ordinary folk. And the rule of our duty here is not that we are
able to pry into the secret will of God and discern who the elect are. The rule
of duty here is: God has commanded us to do this: 'Go into all the world. You
are to be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in Judea and Samaria and in the
uttermost parts of the world.' And that's you and you and you.
III. The Great Signs.
The third thing I want us to see are
the great signs. There's great persecution and there's great evangelism,
evangelism that God owns and God blesses. And there are great signs because now
Luke folds into the narrative of focus on Philip, one of the seven or perhaps
now we should say one of the six. A man full of the Holy Spirit just as Stephen
was. He's the first official missionary of the church. Now why, why Samaria?
You know I've been reading the Bible
for 35 years as a believer and I don't think I've thought through this issue as
much as I have in the last few days. Why Samaria? Why did Philip go to Samaria?
There was a history, you understand, between the Jews and the Samaritans. This
terrain of land north of Jerusalem in between Jerusalem and Galilee and the Sea
of Galilee, there was a terrain of land. If you drew a straight line from
Jerusalem up north you would go through Samaria.
You remember in John 4, Jesus'
encounter with the woman of Samaria when tired and weary, He stops by the well
at Sychar and engages in evangelism, in conversation with this woman of Samaria.
And you remember the comment that John makes, a parenthetical sort of comment he
makes as he tells us that story; the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
That's a loaded statement, by the way. The Jews have no dealing with the
When pilgrims would make their way to
Jerusalem or make their way home from Jerusalem who came from up north, they
would cross over the River Jordan to the east and go down that way rather than
go through Samaria because there was history between the Samaritans and the
Jews. The Jews didn't like the Samaritans. They thought them half-breeds.
Forgive the expression, but that's exactly what they were called. Josephus and
his antiquities writing the history [though he's pro-Jewish, of course, so his
history is slanted] but that's what he calls them. For a thousand years ever
since the ten tribes had broken away, you remember, and they sat up their rival
kingdom with its capital in Samaria. It was all down hill from then for a
thousand years.
When Assyria invaded Samaria, took
the capital city of Samaria in 722 B.C., carried off the people, repopulated the
city with foreigners so that when the Jews 200 years later came back from
Babylonian captivity, the Samaritans offered to help rebuild the temple, but the
Jews said no, they wouldn't have it. They didn't want their help.
In that period of the Maccabean
revolt, a couple hundred years before,150, 160 years before the birth of Jesus,
a high point in Jewish history, when Judas Maccabeus tried to overthrow the
tyrannical rule of the Syrian monarch and king and despot
Antiochus IV Epiphanes.
So great was that revolt that the Jews began to have a feast day in his honor,
the Hanukkah, the feast of candles and lights in honor of Judas Maccabeus.
Well at the same time, the Samaritans
caved in and the rival temple, which they had built in Samaria, was dedicated to
the Greek god, Zeus. You can understand the history between the Jews and the
Samaritans. The Jews didn't like the Samaritans not one little bit.
So why does Philip go to Samaria as a
Jew? He is a Jew, a Hellenistic Jew, but he's till a Jew. Why go to the
Samaritans? The Samaritans had long since forsaken the sacred scriptures of the
Jews. All that they had retained were the first five books, the Pentateuch. Why
go to Samaria? Because I think Philip could hear in his ears the final words of
Jesus before His ascension, "You will be my witnesses in Samaria." — in Samaria
to a race of people that the Jews regarded as hostile and half-breeds. Yes, it
was ethnic and cultural and much else.
And my friends, surely there's a
lesson there for us when we live in a society that is racially torn apart, that
there's a message there for us, that here is this godly, spirit-filled man and
he's taking the gospel to probably one of the most difficult areas imaginable
culturally and ethnically.
As Philip walks in to Samaria,
there'd been hostility-some people had been killed walking through Samaria
according to Josephus, and what did he do? Do you notice in verse 5? He began
proclaiming what? Racial reconciliation, ha! No. That would be a road to
disaster. Did he come with a program? No. He began proclaiming Christ. He took
Jesus to them because they were sinners like he was.
And I imagine, I've been trying to
imagine — how do you proclaim the gospel of Jesus to people who only have the
first five books of the Old Testament? Well, very simply, very simply. Because
in the opening pages of the Pentateuch you have the protoevangelium, the first
gospel promise, the seed of the woman who will come and crush the head of Satan.
And as you delve into the belief system of the Samaritans, one of the things
that the Samaritans emphasize more than anything else was that promise in
Deuteronomy 18 of a prophet that will arise like Moses and be their deliverer.
I have a notion that Philip latched
onto that with both hands. And he's saying to them, "I have seen and heard the
prophet like Moses and His name is Jesus Christ and let me tell you about Him."
And he preached Jesus to them.
And his preaching is accompanied by
extraordinary signs and miracles, unique, I think to this period of redemptive
history. Now I know that Philip is not an apostle, but in the next section as
we'll see in a couple of weeks, Peter and John come down to investigate what
Philip is doing as if to say that Philip is there as a plenipotentiary of the
apostles. And the signs that accompany the preaching are as Paul will testify in
2 Corinthians 12:12 signs of the apostle or the plenipotentiaries of the
As the gospel moves into new
territory, it's as though, don't push this too far, but it's as though there's a
recycling of a Pentecost. It's as if there's a mini-Pentecost taking place now,
not in Jerusalem, but in Samaria as one of those boundaries is crossed.
IV. Great Joy.
And fourthly, great persecution and
great evangelism and great signs and great joy and great joy, verse 8,
"so there was much rejoicing in that city."
Now, don't you think Luke, as he's
writing this, is saying, "Do you see the contrast?" He begins this part of the
story with great persecution, Saul ravaging the church, and he ends with great
rejoicing. There's trouble in one city and there's joy in another city.
It was what Jesus prayed for in the
upper room, "That they might have My joy fulfilled in themselves and that
they might be kept from the evil one who's a joyless critter for all eternity."
Do you see my friends what you have here? As these
Samaritans begin to see what I think must have been for them a little glimpse of
what redemption was all about.
As their souls
are saved and their bodies are healed, it must have been a little glimpse of
heaven, of the new earth and the new heavens come down by the power of the Holy
Spirit and there's great rejoicing and there's joy!
"Jesus shall reign where ere the sun does its successive journeys run. His
kingdoms stretch from shore to shore 'til moons shall wax and wane no more."
1949, when the Communists defeated the national government of China, 637
missionaries were evicted from China. In less than five years half of them were
back in Southeast Asia having been redeployed in battle. Today, my friends, some
say the church in China is 40 times the size it was then. Out of trouble, good
Tertullian so eloquently put it, "The more you mow us down, the more we grow."
careful, my friends, when you pray in this prayer meeting. Make this a
mission-minded church because God's way of answering that in order to bring joy
to another city may be to bring trouble to you and me. And are you ready for
Father, we thank You for Your Word. Hide it now in our hearts and give us the
boldness and the courage that Philip had to preach Jesus and to see nothing else
in the picture but Jesus. For Jesus' sake we ask it. Amen.

The BiVACOR uses a small spinning titanium disc to pump blood through the body.
SCIENTISTS at Queensland University of Technology have developed a new bionic heart that lasts 10 years longer than current artificial ones. Named BiVACOR, the device contains a small titanium disc that spins at 2,000 revolutions per second, allowing it to pump blood around the body without beating.
The lack of pulse gives BiVACOR a longer lifespan than pulse-based artificial hearts, which contain balloon-like sacs that are vulnerable to wear and tear. The team has successfully transplanted it into a live and healthy sheep, and aims to run human trials by 2018. See: http://bit.ly/1F9PAD8.
Speediest star
ASTRONOMERS at Queen's Belfast University have discovered the fastest-moving star in the Milky Way. Named US708 (see illustration), the star is unbound by gravity and will eventually leave our galaxy as it's travelling at 1,200 kilometres per second – a speed that the team says can take us from Earth to the Moon in five minutes.
They believe that US708 was part of a binary system, in which two stars orbit one another, with a massive white dwarf star. When the white dwarf exploded in a nuclear reaction driven by high temperatures – a reaction known as thermonuclear supernova – it sent US708 hurtling across space. See: http://bit.ly/1NNroKk.
Cockroaches personified
COCKROACHES have personalities too, researchers from the Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, have found. When the team placed cockroaches in an arena that was under a bright light, but also contained a shade in the middle, the "shy and cautious" ones immediately sought cover, whereas the "bold or explorer" ones went around the arena.
The different behaviour of individual cockroaches separates them from animals that act according to a social hierarchy, such as ants and termites, the team says. This may also be how they adapt to new environments, with brazen ones exploring their new surroundings, and wary ones staying behind. See: http://reut.rs/1C60SJn.
Anti-ageing drugs
RESEARCHERS from The Scripps Research Institute in the United States have developed a new class of drugs that slows the aging process. Made from a combination of cancer drugs and anti-inflammatory supplements, the new drugs effectively kill senescent cells – tenacious cells that accelerate ageing – without damaging others.
Mice that are treated with a single course of the drugs had improved cardiovascular function, stamina, overall health, as well as reduced osteoporosis and frailty. The researchers also found that the effects started within five days and lasted for seven months. While more testing is needed before the drugs are used in humans, the team is hopeful about the findings' potential. See: http://bit.ly/1AcQCaM.
Subway reefs
DISUSED subway cars in New York now serve as homes for fish and other sea creatures in the Atlantic Ocean. The city has dropped 2,500 cars into the middle of the ocean after cleaning and removing the seats, straps and wheels.
Scientists report that the underwater cars now contain 400 times as much food per square foot as the sand bottom.
The carriages also protect fish from predators as well as provide shelter for sea creatures that can only live on hard surfaces, such as blue mussels. The photos can be found at: http://bit.ly/18zFTRm.

Patna, Aug 1 (PTI) The Uddhav Thackeray government in Maharashtra is under pressure from the Congress-funded Bollywood mafia, and this is the reason for it being hell-bent to save all elements connected with suicide by death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi said on Saturday.
Making a scathing attack at the grand old party, the senior BJP leader asked, "What will the Congress show to the people of Bihar?"

In a series of tweets in hindi, Sushil Modi vented his anger on the Shiv Sena led coalition ministry in Maharashtra for creating hurdles for the visiting Bihar police team to probe the 34-year-old actor's death.
"Uddhav Thackeray is under pressure from the Congress- funded Bollywood mafia, so its bent on saving all the elements responsible in the case. What will the Congress show to the people of Bihar?" the BJP leader said in a tweet message.

He said that the Bihar government would ensure that family of the departed Patna-born filmstar get justice.
"The Bihar government not only ordered an inquiry, but also filed a caveat in the Supreme Court, requesting that Bihar's side be heard while hearing Rhea Chakraborty's petition," he tweeted.
"The state government will go to any extent to bring justice to Sushant," he said in another tweet.
The suicide of the budding actor has left millions of Biharis shocked and saddened, so almost all parties want a CBI probe into the case,Sushil Modi, who had visited Rajput's home here to console his father last month, said.
He slammed the Maharashtra police for its indifferent attitude towards the investigating Bihar police team in the case in which an FIR has been lodged in Patna on the basis of a written complaint of Rajput's 74-year-old father KK Singh on July 25.
"Now the Bihar Police, which came to investigate the death of Bihar's son Sushant Singh Rajput, is not getting the support of Mumbai Police," he said pointing out some earlier incidents when people of Bihar were subjected to misbehaviour in the western metropolis.
"Earlier in Maharashtra, people of Bihar used to get complaints of misbehaviour, but now the Uddhav government, based on the crutches of the Congress-NCP, has reached its limit," he said.
"During the lockdown, the withdrawal of Bihari labourers from Maharashtra was disrupted.Now the Bihar Police, which came to investigate the death of Bihar's son Sushant Singh Rajput, is not getting the support of Mumbai Police," he added.
The BJP leader has already sought a CBI probe into the actor's death.
