Four Loko ban fuels buying binge

2010-11-18T19:51:00.001-08:00

While federal officials announced plans this week to outlaw alcoholic energy drinks like Four Loko, five 20-somethings living in a Columbia Heights group house hatched a plan of their own: Anytime someone sees Four Loko for sale, buy as much as possible. ugg tall

The housemates have only a half-dozen cans so far, but they are hoping to stockpile several dozen. Then, once the caffeinated version of beverage is formally pulled from shelves and no longer sold legally, they will host a massive Four Loko party.

"We will be the last earthlings to enjoy the taste of Four Loko," said Tom Grahsler, 26, whose favorite flavors are watermelon and fruit punch. "I'm pretty sad to see it go."

In a series of high-profile incidents, dozens of college students have been treated for alcohol poisoning after overindulging in Four Loko and similar products, and several states and universities then banned the drinks. Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) has been one of the most vocal opponents of the potent drinks, calling them "dangerous and toxic brews."

Experts say that the high levels of both alcohol and caffeine in the beverages create a "wide-awake drunk" that makes it difficult for people to realize how intoxicated they are and enables them to consume far more alcohol than they otherwise would without passing out. That puts them at increased risk for alcohol poisoning, engaging in such risky behavior as driving drunk and committing or being the victims of sexual assaults.

On Wednesday, several federal agencies responded aggressively, telling four manufacturers to stop distributing the products within the next two weeks. The Food and Drug Administration deemed the alcoholic energy drinks unsafe and illegal. ugg short

Four Loko, the most popular of the bunch, has been nicknamed "blackout in a can." The colorful 23.5-ounce cans contain as much alcohol as several beers and as much caffeine as a strong cup of coffee - all for about $2.50. The makers of Four Loko have already agreed to remove caffeine and other substances from the product.

News of the impending ban has raised awareness of the dangers of mixing alcohol with caffeine - and prompted mockery from college students who disagree with the decision. A YouTube video shows people how to make their own Four Loko using an energy drink, caffeine tablets, Jolly Rancher candy and malt alcohol. Some fans changed their Facebook profile photos to tributes proclaiming, "Viva la Vida Loko" and "Save Loko."

"It's amazing how people have come together around this," said Greg Gerlach, an American University sophomore who has stockpiled more than 50 cans of Four Loko.

Gerlach, an economics major, understands the forces of supply and demand - and he hopes to make some quick cash off the ban.

"I can buy it for around $2 a can, and as stores sell out, people are willing to pay more," said Gerlach, who said he was 21. "People know I'm selling it. Everyone knows I'm obsessed with this stuff."

Several liquor stores near American and Georgetown University reported a surge in Four Loko sales Wednesday and Thursday. Foggy Bottom Grocery, near the George Washington University campus, also saw a bump in sales, said owner Kris Hart, who planned to pull the product from his shelves Thursday afternoon. He said he's opposed to the drink because it's clearly marketed to young people, who often don't realize that drinking a can of Four Loko is not like having a standard drink. ugg boots Classic

Hart said he carried the product so he could compete with the numerous other liquor stores near campus. He said he has been meeting with university and city officials since October, begging them to ban the product from all stores.

"There was an absolute demand. Kids would come in for a four-pack of Four Loko, a case of beer and maybe some sandwiches," he said. "I'm thrilled that they are banning it. ... I know my competitors are stocking up on it just in case there's a run on it, just in case it becomes like Prohibition."

And there are still people out there who have not tried Four Loko - like Amanda Foster.

"There was so much in the media about it that I wanted to try it," said Foster, 28, who works in government affairs for a corporation in the District. "Now I'm set on trying it because it's going to be banned forever."

A few of Foster's friends are hosting a "Four Loko tasting party" Saturday night, and one of the organizers visited several liquor stores Thursday afternoon to buy up more than 50 cans of the drink in all eight flavors. Chances are it won't be the only Four Loko party raging this weekend.

"It's the end of an era," said Joey Maier, 21, a junior at American. "This was the drink of the semester." cheap nike shoes

Nice face, the Sonata; shame about the legs

2010-11-16T00:10:00.003-08:00

The new Sonata is Hyundai's alternative in a highly-competitive medium-executive class ruled by the all-powerful BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes C-Class, with the Honda Accord, Citro?n C5, VW Passat and Mazda6 all fighting for scraps of market share. sale ugg boots

Available with only one engine and one transmission - a new 2.4-litre petrol pushing 131kW/228Nm, mated to a six-speed auto - Sonata buyers have the choice of the standard 2.4 GLS selling for R279 900 or the GLS Executive for 20 grand more, each standard with Hyundai's five-year or 150 000km warranty and five-year or 90 000km service plan
Hyundai is employing some first class designers these days.

Following the South African launch in October, Hyundai let us drive a Sonata for a few weeks and it's left me with mixed feelings. The car reminds me of a sexy woman with halitosis; great to look at but get closer and she's not all she's cracked up to be.

There's no doubt the Korean firm is employing some first class designers these days and the Sonata is something you could actually picture on a young boy's bedroom wall.

There's real pizzazz in those coupé-like lines and long-and-low stance, which Hyundai calls its "fluidic sculpture" design language. It's a great effort and I can imagine even Italian car designers tugging on their goatee beards, muttering "bella".discount ugg boots

Step inside and the fairytale continues with the Sonata's sleek design and classy finishes, combined with plenty of stretch-out space and lots of storage nooks
If the Sonata just sat there looking pretty it would be one terrific car.

There's also plenty of luxury kit including, among others, a panoramic sunroof, auto aircon, cruise control and even an electrically-adjustable driver's seat that glides away from the steering wheel when the ignition's off.

The controls are clearly laid out and it takes about five seconds to master the user-friendly aircon and audio system controls. Safety spec is also generous with six crash bags, stability control and antilock braking. Classic ugg boots outlet

All good so far, and if the Sonata just sat there looking pretty it would be one terrific car. The need for a breath mint arises when you start driving it.

The steering's numb, the car wallows like a bowl of pudding when you change lanes and - worst of all - the six-speed auto 'box hunts frantically through the gears searching for an elusive sweet spot.

Thank goodness the transmission's incessant hunting can be overcome by using steering-wheel paddle shifters to shift gears manually.

The power delivery is smooth and linear but never sporty, and the car manages an 11.5sec 0-100 sprint time and a 208km/h top speed on the Reef.

The Sonata cruises fine when it gets up to speed but there's never a satisfying surge of power from the normally-aspirated 2.4-litre engine, which also gets quite noisy at high revs.ugg outlet online

The fuel consumption of around 11 litres/100km is also a lot higher than the claimed 8.2.

The Sonata comes with active suspension - amplitude selective dampers in Hyundai-speak - which automatically adjust damper stiffness depending on road conditions. A great idea in theory but there's something amiss in the execution.

The car generally wafts along in comfort and takes fast sweeping bends with relaxed nonchalance but the chassis doesn't react well when really challenged, such as over speed humps which the suspension doesn't absorb as well as you'd like.

And if you tug the steering with any kind of haste in a lane change, there's a lot of yaw caused by the soggy-feeling suspension.

The Sonata is spacious, generously-specced, solidly built, very easy on the eye, well priced, and does everything expected by middle managers who don't demand too much of a car.

But as a driver's car it falls well short of the BMW/Audi/Mercedes/Honda league, and leaves one emotionally underwhelmed. ugg boots 2010

Swallows' skipper suffers while sitting on the sidelines

2010-11-01T02:47:00.001-07:00

Tsutsulupa has been out injured for three months and was not part of the squad that made it all the way to the MTN8 final against Orlando Pirates early this month. sale ugg boots

Tsutsulupa, who will assume his role as Swallows' skipper tomorrow against Black Aces in the Telkom Knockout last 16 match, said he was hurting from being on the sidelines while his team-mates lost four out of their five league matches.

"What pained me the most was knowing that I could not add any value to the team because I was injured," Tsutsulupa said.

"I can't contribute, but I know we have players who are professional enough to get the team where it is supposed to be."

Tsutsulupa contradicted his coach, Rainer Zobel, who had harsh words for his players last week, calling them "unprofessional and think they are good quality".

Zobel is livid with his players for failing to win a single match in the league so far - only picking up one point in the five matches.

Tsutsulupa said the players' lack of confidence was letting them down. He said he believed they could have gained at least a point from their encounter with a 1-0 loss to Kaizer Chiefs last week.

Swallows go into another cup competition tomorrow night and Zobel will again be confused if they produce another stellar performance in a non-league match.

"I don't think it matters how we win," said Tsutsulupa. "I don't think we should say we care less about progressing in the cup because we want to do well in the league. A win against Aces will mean we are at least closer to our goal of starting to win matches. So we will take that into our league games."discount ugg boots

After mending leak, Iran begins loading fuel into nuclear plant
Iran started to fully load fuel into its only nuclear reactor Tuesday, after a leak in the Russian-built reactor's basin delayed the process for months, state media reported.

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) said that tests had been run and that it had started loading 163 fuel rods into the reactor's core, bringing the country closer to its goal of becoming a user of nuclear energy.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday that the United States does not object to the reactor, but that it remains concerned about facilities where Iran may be working on nuclear weapons. Classic ugg boots outlet

"Our problem is not with their reactor at Bushehr," she said. "Our problem is with their facilities at places like Natanz and their secret facility at Qom and other places where we believe they are conducting their weapons program."

Andrew - Fisherman

Two hundred and eighty fifth 日
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, his fishing in which the group has gathered several people to become disciples of Jesus. He and other partners James and John, engaged in fishing in the Sea of Galilee work, have at least some success. Archaeologists discover biblical times in the sea of Galilee fishing village Jiabo major agricultural (Capernaum), when shown some very large houses - suggests a fisherman in his fishing career, can maintain abundant livelihood. Difficult task of biblical times suffering heavy fisherman, you need to serve the investment. Successful fisherman is deemed reliable, hard worker - and became a disciple of excellent material.

"Is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful." (I Cor d 2)

Further thought

As exegetes often pointed out, when Jesus chose his disciples, he selected the person who has been busy with work, to a certain extent, already considerable achievements. Jesus this way, if they comply with the Luke chapter ten of the sixteen principles? This appears to be true. Do you think?

Matthew twenty-seven to twenty eight chapters

Focus: Judas committed suicide; Jesus trial, crucifixion, burial, resurrection; enactment of the Great Commission.

Key Verse: Jesus stood before; governor asked him, said: "What is the king of the Jews?" Jesus said: "you said." (Nianqi 11)

Content:

Jesus be arrested, after all the chief priests and the elders of the trial and sentenced to death, then the governor Pilate to understand that the local officials for trial. Governor Pilate asked him, saying: "What is the king of the Jews?" Jesus said: "you said."

Matthew's Center is looking about the Jews of Jesus the Messiah is the King to save the people of God; the king, Jesus Christ, now standing trial before a magistrate.

Local officials do not know that the one who stood before him Jesus is Lord of the universe, the King of kings; he thought he was great, the "King of the Jews" to interrogate the Lord.

Clear that the Lord had his identity, in addition to any charges, are not and will not answer, is that the governor marveled. Because he is a king, if he willingly humbled, taking form of a servant, who can interrogate him? How can anyone accused him?

What a poor Pilate, that local officials the right to hold small, it can judges King of the Jews. Poor people do not know the King of Kings, ridicule him, not believing him; many of the people of God have mercy on us, standing in front of the king, not humble bow to the king rather take orders from us.

Life, there are many different fate, or will fall by the plight of oppressed and innocent being. These people not only to withstand the pressure brought fortune, more painful, is to come under pressure from his own heart, many questions have emerged between the mind and life to the risk of lost production.

The poet is experiencing trouble, heart recollected ever before in the Temple, with an audience with the people of God, what a joy, but now they have lost this joy, but also the face of those who were unjust and unreasonable oppression, and my heart very pain. Life seems to lose direction, no way.

Today, you are not also facing hardship or unreasonable treatment, so that your heart is no longer an audience with God, you do not have the strength to face God and all these things, life seems to lose direction, no way out. Then you should be like a poet, called to God, "Please send your light and your truth, let them guide me, take me to your holy mountain, to your home." Only to return the sanctuary of God, your life can be at peace. When you see the truth of God and light, life can get the strength and direction. Hope you like the poet in general, though in distress, you can still look up to God, praise God. Because God is my light and my God!

With a family

Constantly repeating the history of human pain, because people do not have much change. The history of Christianity is no exception.

You quietly, slowly read the following verses from the heart. You can continue reading repeatedly, so that verses echo in your mind. When reading, please pay special attention to "you are with the saints ... country, person in the household of God; and was built ... with Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone, the room was fit up into him, and gradually became the main temple ... "This one sentence.

Ephesians 14-22
Because he makes us live, the two one and has destroyed the middle wall of partition; and abandon the rancor in their own body and that is written in the law on the rules, for to make in himself of twain a new man, so making peace. Not only eliminate the rancor on the cross, then take the cross so that the two under one body, with God, and He came and preached peace to you which were afar off and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have to be one Spirit, to the Father. In this way,YouNo longer foreigners and aliens,States with the saints, is the person in the household of God; and was builtThe foundation of the apostles and prophets, andJesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone, the room was fit up into him, and gradually became the main temple. Ye also are builded together into an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Paul era, Christianity was originated, expansion. Faith in Jesus the Jew first, and then by a number of "non-Jews", even "infidels" to join. Formed in the early Church, and some are all Jews, others are all "non-Jews," and, of course, there is a small part of mixed race. During this period, the church system has not yet appeared, people need to rely on several core teachings to guide believers to treat each other. ...

Paul is one of the focus character (Peter of course.) As a positive to the "non-Jews" preaching of the Apostles, Paul has the responsibility to deal with, respond to problems within the church over time, such as female followers could preach, whether the party should be hooded, whether Jewish believers should strictly observe circumcision, festival, non- Jewish believers should not eat the meat of sacrifices over how to arrange the order, and so the sacrament. ...

Paul wrote Ephesians, reminds believers, whether "Jew" or "non-Jews", we are all "one family", become a "temple invisible": "You ... are the same countries with the saints, the household of God the person; and was built ... with Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone ... ... gradually become the main temple. "

Church of the date of issue is very difficult, but Paul's vision is very ambitious, he lead the followers to see a beautiful vision: different race, creed background believers can live in harmony, a "family." Moreover, the differences between the different intervals as the temple, beautiful to match up. ...

Paul envisioned too ideal. Look at the history of the church, at issue has never been reduced, but questions are different than that: the Holy Spirit is the Father and Son together send it? Theology too mysterious icon painting? The divinity of Christ, human nature, the Bible and not only the sixty-six, including apocrypha? Who should inherit the status of the Apostle Peter? Catholic or a Christian heresy? Holy Communion is "remember the Lord" instead of "Holy"? "? Water baptism" or "baptized" the most out of the Bible? Scripture is the Gospel of Jesus to those direct words? Critique of law than with Scripture "Scripture spiritual meaning" more loyal to the Word? "God" or "God" is the best Chinese translation? To rely on the Holy Spirit to preach or carry out Saint? The kind of worship of the singing poetry? Age group of partitions or shepherd? Christians should take to the streets against the government? And not, tai chi, meditation or yoga? The use of biblical counseling and not counseling? Women should not be ordained priests? Also, on sex, sexual orientation, all controversial, forever. ...

Problems within the Church a large basket. Although there are some major objections have been made by political means or finalized in consultation, but there are many unresolved. With a little self-deprecating tone, the many facets of today's Christianity, apart from the "God's guidance" or the effectiveness of Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, the more indispensable is the "split", "fresh start", "protest", "boycott" "subversion", "reform", "defend the truth" result. ...

In any case, Paul is still looking forward to help us face reality. Although many of the church includes the name, organizational structure, the theological position, the ceremony is customary, ideas on their own distinctive communities, groups, is still "family" and "invisible Temple", is located every corner of the world. ...

Let us remember that in God's family, there are different "family", we learn to respect, appreciate, do not often think they belong, do is the most orthodox, the most pure. This will only cause more pain in the split. God's temple is not just their meeting point, conceit, only the attitude of disdain demolition of the "invisible temple." ...

"You ... are the same countries with the saints, is the person in the household of God; and was built ... with Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone ... ... gradually become the main temple."

Invite you to see every church meeting point, encounter groups or members of different churches, the inner remember Paul these words: "You ... are the same countries with the saints, is the person in the household of God; and was built of Christ ... Jesus himself being the chief corner stone ... becoming a temple of the Lord .... "and then silently bless these" family. " ... Members of the church they belong to, the more the case. ... ...

God is light

2010-10-08T00:37:00.000-07:00

The Bible declares to us: "God is light and in him is no darkness." This message is for us born people living in darkness, is not easy to understand.

God is light, is telling us: God is self-revelation, and in him is no darkness, no hidden. God is completely holy, no place in him a little dirty. God is revealed, and all the darkness, his flaws have been fully revealed. In this revelation, we know that light and darkness is always the opposite, can not co-exist. Therefore, if we fellowship with God, we must make life and the life of God the same characteristics, in order to have the intersection, so John stressed the need to walk the light, meaning that when we are all aspects of life, willing to continue the pursuit of God lives lost in pursuit of living will, so you can fellowship with God.

So how can we ensure that they are not law? John reminds us that as long as we often reflect on the heart, aware of his guilt, the salvation of Jesus to look up to, confess our sins, God will forgive us our sins and restore each other's fellowship. This is the truth that God is light, not that we fear, and not closer to God, on the contrary to be upheld but a belief that our lives all the time need this light.

Short life

2010-10-07T01:41:00.001-07:00

In 2008Years10Months19Day, I learned that Li * Shitabusi (Levi Stubbs) Of the death of his record in the Magic City's "four top Chorus" (The Four Tops) As the lead singer, died seventy-year-old. When I was a little boy, I liked the Four Tops choir, full of strong emotions, especially Levi's voice. I've never met him personally, or even participate in his concerts, but his death has affected me unexpectedly.

In addition to regret, I think his death also reminded the fact that I'm getting old. I was young, listening to a singer's death, reminded me of the time not to move forward step by step, but flies!

Moses wrote that a poem, he wrote: "The years of our life is seven years old ... ... but their span is but trouble and sorrow, they quickly pass, and we fly away" (Psalm90Posts10Section). Not what we want to hear, and we hope springs eternal, but the Bible reminds us, time flies, and death will eventually come.

This allows us to think about two very key question: When my life comes to an end, to "fly away" when I have prepared, I believe that Christ is my Lord and Savior? Do I have to use my short life, to fight for the joy of God will always love me?

No matter how old you are, how do you deal with this short life gives you challenges?WEC

Short of energy, a moment of glory,
The total early death of youth, time just as a thief.
However, hope remains to the death without power,
Almighty Redeemer, stand firm and never decline.Gustafson

You can not control the length of life, but you can control its depth.

Do not believers when " fans "Do not look for the priest , " name Mu "

2010-09-25T02:22:00.000-07:00

Recently, some of the more active the online blog , series of Bowen spoke of seeing a few " name Mu "and" fan " of the topic . This also would like to take you pastors and faithful of the opinion , together with brothers and sisters, priests and believers of the boat thinking the water relations , common in the Lord Jesus Christ keep vigilant .

A believer in the blog wrote : "Some followers of the lamb is no longer the Lord , but were fans of the livestock ; pastor is no longer a servant of God , but everyone 's idol ; sermon is no longer Is serving , and but a debut ; prayer is no longer pledge allegiance to the Lord , but in front of people show up ; preach the gospel to save souls is no longer , but a get rich ; " between statements disclose the exact concerns Worth considering.

Before becoming a pastor is Pastor ordinary people , a pastor , he is ordinary . Only a priest who bear the sacred mission , God gives pastors to preach the truth of the authority and duties of shepherding the flock . Undeniably , however , because of the impact of secularization , such as " fans "and many of the concepts and habits invasion of the sanctity of the church . After he received the grace and blessing , many people are not the same as over the body like four living creatures, both inside and outside eyes on God , glory to God, but could not wait to followers of Pastor 's footsteps, thanks to the pastors and tell .

Shepherd God 's people for the love of his flock set up monitoring , is the channel between God and man , the channel is empty , open, and believers can feel completely full of God 's grace . Bo is a master set sail with hundreds of pastors, speaking on his blog : In fact, I hardly " name , animal husbandry , " So far , I have not served as chairman of any organization , directors, and has never held any Name of magazine editors , has never been a subject of any large gathering of speakers , but not too much shepherding the church , I shepherd the church only two or three hundred people, I am the only preacher to the main row of chairs placed on the table early Audio equipment , washing clothes at home cooking, sweeping , at best be regarded as one goes to the donkey colt .

This may be the pastor and some attitude . If it were not the grace of God , why would they be able to stand before the altar preaching the Word of God to explain the mystery of heaven ? Without the guidance of the Holy Spirit , we will not through the words of the population moved from the heart , get spiritual satisfaction and joy . Before God to offer the best acts of God, but it seems dirty clothes. If it were not God's mercy , those of us owe a debt of love how could people offer a living sacrifice, and a channel of blessing ?

Set sail , said: " In the church of Christ , there is no ' great '( the so-called great , is based on human standards ), the God of those pre -selected unknown. In other words , God willing to expose all this rebellious world Vanity . Wong Lo 4 to know their climb out from the mountain valley of sinners , if God 's mercy , is not a dead dog ? "

Jesus also has many followers , even his own prayer and rest even have a rare quiet time . But Jesus said, " My Father doing until now , I do things . " Father of the world with compassion , to seek the Lord to heal him who never refused , even his disciples to the end of its refusal of foreign buyers also Pakistani Call him, and personally heal him. Jesus to the Father of things in mind , we have the heart to heart with Jesus Christ .

However , the minister also ordinary people , priests and pastors of the weakness and difficulties . Perhaps , compared to our gratitude toward the pastor , priests are more in need of our prayers and support. Strong in the face of Jesus to Peter , the Lord knew his weakness, the Lord said : "But I have prayed for you , call your faith fail not . you have turned again , strengthen your brothers . " (Luke 22:32 ) compassionate The main weakness of people , is the pastor had the most solid support and strength ; for us on the battlefield in the war against spiritual pastors , brothers and sisters need to like Aaron and Hur -like long-lasting support .

Then turn back , believers also need introspection itself is invisible in the shaping " name animal husbandry "and behind it some ? The world of " names , animal husbandry , " it? Must have a " fan " more, and will have a " name of animal husbandry . " In the eyes of believers " were grazing " , will also be misunderstood ?

Set sail once described himself as a " fan " experience. For participating in " name , animal husbandry , " Speaker of the winter will be late , he was treated with the pastor does not like working with people walking in the grounds of his sermon turned away , at noon break, set sail with the priest face to face confrontation , but " were grazing " enthusiastically pulling him to sit down , he praised the courage to dare to speak the truth , and finally told him not " allowed to enter late "rule. Perhaps the name of the original purpose of animal husbandry is also hearing people to concentrate on knowing .

Ecclesiastes said , " you go to the house of God should be careful steps , Go near to listen rather than foolish sacrifice . " believers in the Bible and preaching, the holiness of God , justice, love , is eternal truth , etc. , Not just short- hot with passion . Blind believers , perhaps because of the shallow understanding of Bible truth or do not desire , may only pursue from faith to meet the emotional needs , perhaps too much stock in the eyes can see behind the work is difficult to rely on God ... ... in the final analysis , all of the Due to deviation from the truth faith .

Healthy growth of believers , the Word of God and the Church 's teachings on the situation and the importance attached to such closely related. Paul said, "so that your faith should not wisdom , but on God 's power. " rightly dividing the word of the Bible , believers receive from God the grace to see God as , glory to God , Pastor Naturally become good stewards of the manifold grace of God . If not, the name of God but because of those who promote the desecration of his name , the Gospel is also blind in those who are perishing .

Set sail in Bowen at the end of call : Do not we as " name , animal husbandry , " and do not lock themselves as " fans " , whether it is the congregation or the pastor , we are a chosen people, a disciple of Jesus Christ , do not be The two against each other , so that in an evil trick .

Personal credit card

2010-09-24T00:46:00.000-07:00

Each person is born, have a credit card , it 's called the " personality " , this card can be secured for you a lot of things , such as advance many commitments it! And if your integrity, promises , it will be your contact person to person among countless easy to bring ; but if you accidentally put it to the " maxed out " they can not " repay ", then you Will lose all of your trust .

There is a story is to describe the level of a publishing director of John , a very honest person , and his style very sophisticated, but is often lost in the verbal sense of proportion . On the book when asked to get listed , John was nice to answer , they essentially said : "Soon, soon, soon, has been printed , can be listed next week . "But in fact, it is not even the layout is not done End and colleagues about his dinner , he always readily agreed , but for different reasons each time late , missed appointments ; teach a child, he always said: " If you can ...... it was my father ......" But in the end they take you to always let the matter rest .

Finally, he lost all confidence in the book of business and lost and some old colleagues had the revolutionary spirit, also lost a child to his discourse on the convincing , even to the children and hence what was to become a habit Of lip people.

The story above points out the importance of credit to a person , you are a trustworthy person?
Here are four ways your can make you do not lose the trust of people :

l Before opening , think about
First stop and think about it , to your current strength, and your statement of the progress of events , really sure you tell the meaning of the words necessary to achieve it?

l Before opening , slow a slow
Unless you really well-thought , or less " certain "," absolute " , "I guarantee " ... ... these words Jen assured style .

l After the opening , a trim
Just say if it has been filled ? If so, quickly amended the first time , or with but . If you stay until after the incident, " supplement " , is suspected of a belated , it was too too late !

l after closed or moved
A person who promised one thing , but do not delay or procrastination, then no three times, your words of authority and credibility will be compromised of .

Personality , like a credit card , you can advance your promise as a guarantee , this credit card , you are " maxed out " it? Whether your personality or is moving towards the predicament of bankruptcy , but you are unaware I did not notice it ?

Maybe you are careless , but do not overlook the " dishonesty "on the image of your personality lethal, it is enough to make your words treat others the future is nothing .

Marriage is a covenant

2010-09-19T02:15:00.001-07:00

Contemporary society does not have time to hold such an attitude , it comes to lay down their lives. But it is even more important to Christians , they want in their marriage faithfully represent Christ and his church relationship. Many times in our lives than we have witnessed verbal language more effective. As the Old Testament prophets , we can not only words , you can send with predicted behavior .

Before talking about the role of the husband , I must first establish a foundation , so , I have to talk about marriage, because only through marriage , men who could be her husband .

There are three important human beings , the eternal nature of the relationship:

1 . The relationship between believers and God
2 . The relationship between husband and wife
3 . The relationship between believers

Children as the fruit of marriage between men and women also included within this agreement , this is about their parents set before God 's .

Each of these three relations is a basis of a relationship is about , about the Bible, described the most serious and committed the most binding form . No one about , the principles can not by covenant to establish long-term relationship.

There are two main Bible verses prove that marriage is a about . First we look at Proverbs 2 16-17 :

" It will save you from the adulteress , is that flatters with her words . who has left the partner of her youth , forget the Covenant of God . "

This verse that the woman is unfaithful to her husband, forget or destroy her and the man set the marriage before God . Shows that marriage is a set of men and women before God one about .

In addition, the book of Malachi , God said about the nature of marriage . Israel has complained: "We are always in prayer , we are always in the house of God why you do not respond to our prayers ? " Malachi 2 14 is God's answer:

"You said that this is why . because the Lord in you and the wife of your youth, the middle of a witness. Although she is your spouse , your covenant wife is , you have dealt treacherously with her . "

Speaking of God in these verses for her husband to " false " to be their wives - to use modern language , that they deceive their wives. God said: "The number of times you pray or you spend time in the church is not important . If you are unfaithful to your wife of the Covenant , I would not listen to your prayers . " God declared that such people are breach of contract People.

Therefore , regardless of sex , marital infidelity is a ruined about . This is why the sin of adultery is more serious than adultery . Fornication two unmarried relationship with someone who is immoral , is itself the crime , but this is not about destroying one . The destruction of a rape is about the immoral behavior , which is why it is more seriousWeight of a sin.

　Mystery about

One is about the mysteries of God . Unless the use of revelation, no one can really understand. Only God can make us understand what is about to take the Bible . The poet said:

" Lord and fear him close . he will own about instructing them . " Psalm 25 14

So , about a mystery of God , he only to those who fear him inspiration . The fear of God are those who can understand some of the people entering .

22-31 in Ephesians 5 , Paul said, and his wife, the marriage relationship between Christ and his Church of the relationship between pre- form or expression . Then he added : "This is a great mystery " (No. 23 ) . We need to understand Paul in this passage in the Bible the word used in the special meaning of the mystery .

That era were popular so-called " mystery religions . " The religion has a special secret , the mystery only to those who passed the rigorous checking procedures for people to know . Unless you formally join , otherwise you can not know their secret . Therefore, when Paul describes marriage is a mystery , he means that , unless we first experience a reasonable admission procedures , otherwise we will not understand its true nature . This procedure is to use the wedding , a couple entered with God , and each other about the relationship. Only when they are willing to make such a committed , they can begin to discover the true nature of marriage . Who do not want to meet the conditions of both men and women , they can experience the law of marriage and physical aspects , but its true nature is still closed to them , it is still a mystery - a mystery.

We should remember that marriage is not just one level of a social contract , at first , marriage is primarily a biblical concept . To enter into this mystery of marriage , we must first understand the Bible "about " the meaning of the word . So, simply examine what about the principle of the Bible would be helpful .

　　About the principles of

We turn from the Psalms , Hebrews , and seen in Genesis about God 's revelation .

Following this revelation from scripture Psalms preoccupied with what kind of people contracting :

" His call to the heavens , in order to judge his people , saying, gather my saints come to me , that is, those with the sacrifice with me about the people. " Psalm 50 4-5

Who is God's holy people? Bible said that his contract with the sacrifices of the people . Approximately must be based on each sacrifice .

In Hebrew , you actually say about cutting , not contract . " cut " the word implies a sharp knife and bloodshed. It further reminds us about is the need for sacrifice , and sacrifice requires blood - life 's discarded .

16-17 in Hebrews , the writer says about or testament only when people die before they take effect . But the " testament " in the original Greek word is "about " the word . These two verses point out some of the other important facts:

" Where testament , testament to wait until someone dies leaving . ( testament is the same text with some words ) as dead , in force only if the testament of the still remaining , that testament is also useful You ? "

So , when you contract , you are actually signing your own death certificate , this is a serious matter , is committed to the end of .

Look at some of the real life of Abraham Chi . Lord and Abraham have a very good personal relationship . One night , the Lord instructed Abraham , he would give him the land of Canaan for industry . Abraham said to him : "How can I know it must for the industry? " (Genesis 15 8) God to cut him about the response to Abraham .

This shows that God is everything is about the end of the committed . When God set a about , he would not be necessary to further what other expressed .

About the cut this time , God commanded Abraham to do something at that time in the Middle East on behalf of the habit of making things : kill a number of offering , and then split each sample divided into two halves , one half in front half to locate , and then contracting parties in the middle Passed . The Bible does not say when Abraham 's sacrifice in the middle come open , but it describes how to do the Lord :

"Sunset and darkness had a smoking furnace and burning of the torch from the pieces in the crossing. " Genesis 15 17

God in the burning of the torch in through the offering of the pieces . Hebrews 29 reminds us that : "Our God is a consuming fire . "

After offering the pieces, what does that mean? It means that when you walk through the offering, and witness the dead body, you said: "That death is my death . From now on, I tell myself is dead, but as I entered about a man with live . " Abraham gave up his life , and in covenant with God to live . But remember , God gave Abraham the same thing .

About any of the parties can take each other for all that . For this contract, then the Lord said to Abraham, in fact true : "I want your son , Joseph , your only son , the son of who you are faithful to his instructions to you in my place for my For the Festival . " (see Genesis 22 2).

Abraham is a covenant people. He did not argue , do not delay . He responded: " Well, God , I am here, I will go to that place , I would offer that sacrifice . " So the next morning that he would move off the designated areas .

Precisely at the last moment , when Abraham was hands the knife to insert the body of his son , the Lord said to him : "Well, Abraham , you do not do this . If you do not leave your son to not only To me, now I know you fear me. " That is about !

But the story did not ended up . After almost two years , the Lord said : " Abraham and his descendants need a sacrifice, only one person can be a sacrifice that is my son. Abraham to offer his son to me , now I want to offer him my Son. " It was Morrison Hill set about some of the other half . God the Father , where access to success is about the commitment, he put his son , Jesus Christ for the sins on the offer , as a last resort , all prepared by the festival .

With this understanding , history is God and his people about the set of all real- Chi . We can not stress about the importance and seriousness are not excessive .

Now we come to this point about the use of marriage . When a time when the Christian men and women get married , they join in the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross , both Xiang Paul said in Galatians 2 20 : "I have been crucified with Jesus , now is no longer alive I, but Christ lives in me . "

Once they committed to do so after each other , each turned to face the cross . Husband said : "When I read that sacrifice , I died. I lay down his life , now I have my wife which live out my life, she is my life 's performance. " wives say the same thing : "When I read that offering, I'm dead . Since I no longer live for themselves but for the covenant, and who I live . " for each other to lay down their lives. That is the basis of Christian marriage , that marriage can only basis for true success .

However , such an attitude with the attitude of many people today just the opposite . That is why so many piles of dissolution of marriage 's sake . Today too many people entering a marriage, I thought : What are the benefits I get from here ? It will not work. Bible 's attitude is : I was given what ? It worked !

The purpose of marriage

Adam did not think the matter of marriage , he even did not know he needed a wife. The idea of marriage comes from God , all of our Organization and its ultimate intentions are set down by the gods .

God 's purpose for marriage is the unity between spouses . But the Bible is very clear that the real unity of mankind is only one basis , whether male or female , it is about , the Bible describes marriage , said this :

" Therefore shall a man leave his father and his wife, and two become one flesh . " Genesis 2 24

Marriage , the key is two words : leave the joint . If you do not leave , you can not joint . If you do not want the background taken concurrently in charge of your parents and make a new start , you never reach your spouse truly joint .

In some cultures , marriage is usually not successful because the culture teaches man and his parents should be joint , not with his wife jointly . That he stop his wife sincerely heartfelt .

We need to recognize that marriage as depicted in the Bible is not a social custom or culture. Many different social customs into the wedding , or how to decide how to celebrate the wedding . For example, in Israel , the Jews celebrate the wedding to comply with a set of social practices , to comply with another set of Arabs , Amelia who has to comply with their set , which is reasonable . However, the basic essence of marriage is the beginning of human history, God decided to down : a man leaves his parents , went with his wife jointly . It was a man and a woman to reach the only basis for true unity .

There is also a misunderstanding of marriage is very common today . Many behaviors are shown as if marriage is a test . It was a mistake. Marriage is a commitment, not a trial , said trial marriage , as a " trial committed " itself is self-contradictory. Only through mutual commitment, God can release the joint between a pair of men and women need the grace of life .

　　Predict the nature of marriage

God of the Bible there is a gratifying fact that he likes his own revelation to humanity . God's self- revelation of God gave to us under one of the most valuable treasures . This revelation is the arrival of the main channel of the Bible , but the greater privilege is when God not only chose to enlighten us and himself alone , he also help us by himself.

Old Testament prophets of God so often with his own revelation . In order to warn approaching the captivity of Judah nation , God commanded Jeremiah to a yoke on his neck (see Jeremiah 27 2). In order to describe the army of Jerusalem is about to be captive to Babylon , God commanded Ezekiel to dig through a wall , acted like a person to escape from the besieged city of the same (see Ezekiel 12 4-5 ) . Antonio God for forgiveness of the great love of Israel , he commanded Hosea to marry with a prostitute (see Hosea 1 2). We can list many similar examples.

Therefore , we see that prophecy is not only speak a message , you can also come out with acts of presentation . It would appear that Christian marriage accompanied by a wonderful prophecy of the characteristics of marriage .

First of all , a personal relationship between men and women shows that a relationship can produce only about a joint .

But the true Christian marriage, to convey the second , and better information. 25 in Ephesians 5 , Paul said: " Husbands , love your wives , just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up . " Christians have the privilege of a husband to his wife that the Church of Christ that his self-sacrificing love.

On the other hand , 24 in Ephesians 5 , Paul said: "The church submits to Christ , so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything . " A Christian wife in the relationship with her husband also have the corresponding privileges , that the Church of Christ - the respect due to her love of the Lord .

Modern society does not have time to accommodate this attitude , it comes to lay down their lives. But it is even more important to Christians , they want in their marriage faithfully represent Christ and his church relationship. Many times in our lives than we have witnessed verbal language more effective. As the Old Testament prophets , we can not only words , you can send with predicted behavior .

Love you give attitude of the child

2010-09-08T01:47:00.001-07:00

Ranks the fourth , when I was pregnant , had a maternal age , my husband is also half a century , we are really surprised and delighted by this ! for a long time at home without small children , and that hard work and rearing children sweet , I am Can understand , because I had had three children , boss second child interval of a half years old , her second child and youngest interval of five years, while fourth eldest born, and the youngest a 10 -year-old as much difference . My oldest 2 years old when they quit teaching , his care for the children . My husband and I like around half of children are also enjoying family life, our children have many fond memories of childhood , they like to go home .

In middle age , But Cautious

Even so, some worry we do not know whether it can also be capable of physical ? BABY think we have three older brothers and sisters can help them to have a little BABY will be joined as a member of the family is hoping for another Excited .

In this way, children look forward to the next in our joy was born . Thank God , she is healthy , is the most important of the children born at home , nearly 4,000 grams , as we expected, she was energetic , a great cry , laugh too much , she is fascinated by every move , she is Our pistachios . We take turns taking care of her family , coax her to sleep with her play . Church family on Sundays , but also a bunch of aunts and uncles like BABY hold her, tease her . The child is in so much love , care , attention to grow .

Pistachios into small rebellion

Year-old exploration of the beginning, this small pistachio gradually let the family stunned , laughing . The first laugh is that I - my mother . I often feel exhausted and can not seem to cope her needs.

Every morning she woke up and found other people have gone ( dad brother and sister have gone to work or school ), she would cry, she wanted to go out . I took him to the park , she must return home to play 2-3 hours , not ring true to her heart , she cried . Home I was tired, she was not tired , walk around at home , climbed up and down , fall and get bruises are common. She 's dynamic , do not nap , and Dad can play at night to 10 o'clock .

She was crying , because a significant issue , hungry, crying , tired, crying , tired of crying , wounded cry , discomfort cry , did not agree to her request to cry - . When angry cry , that cry can be really scary , make you think that her accident happened . She cried not once , but got out of hand , half an hour , an hour or even longer. The day, I found that I have to face such a situation several times. She cries slowly become my stress , I am frustrated , I feel like I can not meet her needs .

With the development of language , she became much of a talker , and very will to bargain , the parents challenge authority . She frequently said was : "Why? "" Why do I have to listen to you ? I have to decide ! " I told her to eat candy after dinner , she would accidentally tear a little , told me : "But I am torn right now! "I insisted on closing her up , she and I said : "I like to eat one , leaving it up . " I said: "No ! " she would candy deepened their fling , Burst into tears , or to speak to her saying: 『 Why do I have to listen to you ? I have to do decide ! 』 heart Anjiao I have heard not good , what individual children! actually year-old should Their own decisions !

I was most difficult to understand is that she 's different tune behavior . You told her East , she had just west ; you told her not to , she just wishes . One time we play in the park , her tongue lick the horizontal bar ; I said: "Do not lick , this is not to eat . " Her response was - the more powerful the more licking . I am really good and gas , but also funny , can quickly put her away . An endless stream of small events like this , I think her like a long anti- bone , completely incomprehensible .

Picked up the rod of discipline , parental authority renewal

I never get so frustrated when her mother when ! I know can not leave alone , or wait for him to go to school , my teacher would pick the phone up every day . But I also do not want to act rashly , without handle , injury to a child 's self-esteem , I owe will be greater . I am reminded of Proverbs said: fool bound child's heart, the rod of discipline can fool well rid of ( Qian 22:15 ) . The child is the discipline, but how to enforce it?

Then I heard the Von sister 『』 how to love your children 's CD, mentioned above, love is the basis of discipline , love enough , discipline to be effective. I believe that we give children enough love , so I follow the practice of Feng sister ; pick a suitable thin bamboo , put it in a conspicuous place at home , I tell my kids , this is our family laws , can help Children to become good boy . All good things her mother told her she did not comply , I will turn this family laws to help her. I said : I will beat you ass three times , to help you keep in mind .

But this too many children in need of discipline , and I want where to begin? the church teaches is the most important character , I would like to respect other people from the start! So I first asked her to be quiet when the whole family together - - painting , playing with toys , can leave the seat , but no matter what must be calm , and not to noisy .

The first opportunity to practice domestic discipline soon came, on the whole family gathering , I met with her a note , make sure she had understood it. But the party has started long before she started pulling tables and chairs , manufactured sound, loud , as if she did not know it - I gave her the opportunity to remind the second to the third , I took her to the room , users Method to force hit her three times ass . She gave a sharp cry , I cry a smaller waiting for her , holding her, telling her family laws to help her become a good boy , so she knew how to respect others.

Out the door , meeting also the end , but she also learned to quiet - the need for respect for our gathering . I remember that from the beginning to use domestic discipline , she really played only twice , next , I just put on a high domestic discipline ( the reach of children ), the obvious place , they received a good warning effect . Later found that she began to test the parent 's bottom line, I need only mention two words 』『 domestic discipline , she started screaming : " I do not want domestic discipline ! I do not want spanking ! "Her behavior really bound up .

Set an example to their child sorry

However, this does not mean smooth sailing discipline . I gradually came to realize one thing , I must accept God gave me the baby is a very assertive , temperamental child . Obedience on the other children some of life is easy routine , not easy for her . Therefore, eat, sleep , clean up , organize - these daily chores , I try to relax the restrictions, according to her pace and let her make a decision, this mother and daughter together so that we can live in harmony .

Once she has tantrums , and I upset gas ankle , said she was not loud . Did not think she began to cry, that I bad temper , to apologize to her . My heart feel good and gas , but also funny , really outrageous , obviously she was not unreasonable , but also I apologize to her . But I suddenly remembered I was not asked her tantrums on weekdays , after apologizing to people ? I respond to her with a blood gas bad temper , really not a good example. I apologize to her as a role model to begin with it!

So I seriously told her : "little music I'm sorry , I just bad temper , talking very loudly , scared you, you can forgive me? " did not think the child back to me an apology too seriously : "Mom I'm sorry , I Just a bad temper , scared you, you can forgive me? " apology is completed, I picked up this eloquent little guy , came up with a new insight - the original Example is better than precept is so true - this year-old child I normally use to teach her to watch our words and actions of these adults , and she knows what is right and what is wrong , just can not do it . I am a parent , if we can not set a good example , but also how discipline her?

Better than a bad temper

I also asked her: " When your temper , I hope Mom and Dad how to treat you? "she replied : "To say softly slowly ah ! "( this is my usual teaching , really shameful !) was She and I agreed that we should match soft - people angry , I am not angry , I can gentle toward others , I won the ( strength of her personality well , like most win !) .

Later often raise my voice one , there came a sharp voice : "Mummy, are you angry , I am very gentle, I win , you lose . "After this reminder , I own anger More alert , and that children are slowly learning to control anger .

Once she and her friend Wei Yu nursery know quarrel , complain that her bad temper, Wei Yu , and I can gently remind her . She said: " Why is she a bad temper , I have to tender ? "I said: "The more powerful because of the gentle ah ! You see, many people will throw a tantrum , but to be better than his temper , to tender , it should Very powerful , than the martial arts who was even more severe才行. " (I explained to her home , Proverbs 16:32 is not easily angry , and beat the Warriors , had to overcome the heart , than the walls capture people. God That the more severe temper Oh !)

While no amount of teaching , this year , small children or inevitably a temper , I think emotions will be her life 's lessons . I want to help her early knowledge of God , let her know how great will depend on the Holy Spirit , better than a bad temper .

Love never fails

Now every morning to go to school , we almost always play the same opera. 7:00 sharp, her to the bed Jiaoren up , she did not respond . Mom began to scratch her itch , scratch where miles , where the read : " belly Qichuang La , "" Face Qichuang La Face , "" feet foot Qichuang La . " to see a smile on her face , ticklish to reduce them Mom began to cry: " Little Music Qichuang La . "

And then dressed . She lay in bed , eyes closed , lifted his foot , I put on her pants . She generally does not feel right , they shouted : " uncomfortable , uncomfortable - . " side of hard kicks, kicked in the pants ; time mom -get -for- one , pull her up , or he began to toot your mouth sour .

Then she will be shameless to say : " hold me, hold me! " and then the same grip as the koala mother , only to cling to her mother . Then she would say : " pat , pat ! "Mom was making her hand back , like a child , like coax BABY . " Kiss , kiss ! " kiss the left cheek , right cheek kiss . Then took her to sit down at the table eating breakfast .

This set up the ceremony about 15 minutes, is the parent-child interaction , and finally adjusted out . This morning we both do not get angry , you can successfully get out and go to school .

Changing the face of a temper , temperamental child , I always have heart preparation . When I was overwhelmed , they can always seek the Holy Spirit 's wisdom and help , because the child is created by God , He knows best . I often asked God to have His vision is to help children to appreciate the valuable qualities , enjoy her candid and creative . Even God will pour his share of love never fails me, so I can face the children, often joyful , keep love , acceptance , forgiveness ... ...

Contribute money

2010-09-06T02:13:00.000-07:00

Dear brothers and sisters , we come together today and talk " money contribution " of such a topic .

" Luke " 21:1-4 Festival , said: " he looked up, saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury , ; also saw a poor widow cast in two mites, ; said: ' I tell you , this Poor widow put in more than they all ; because the people are more than their own , out to vote in the donated items in ; but she, poor , all the health of her cast on it. ' "

" Chronicles " section 29:13-14 : "Our God ! now we give you thanks and praise your glorious name ! What am I , my people, what were you able to give as generously . because all things are from your Come from you we have given You . "

Dear brothers and sisters , you have not thought about the dedication of our property that we can love God 's standards? In general , people 's love of property is an undeniable fact that people think that there can be in all aspects of property to satisfy themselves, if not the Lord 's mercy , Christians will be the same as the world fell in love of wealth rather than Love the Lord trap . These people would rather waste a lot of money to buy himself enough physical desires , it would not willing to put their belongings out slightly more to the Lord . Believers who are considerate , if the intention of the Lord , not property of the bundle , then gave the property on their own willing , God is very much appreciate such a person. Main in the ground , he saw a poor widow sacrifice in two mites, the main feeling of satisfaction and praise her . From human view, she is a very small offering , but her main appears to offer rich man than the public offering of all the more . Not only because she offered and the proportion of all she is a very high proportion , more in-depth because the Lord saw her inside a fiery love of the Lord 's heart , Fengyun love for the Lord 's heart in those two A little money on the shown . So people who really love God is not concerned with her all .

Dedication of property

Next we want to talk to the property of the dedication , on the basis of people 's understanding of grace .

God not because of a shortage of people so dedicated to the system , and forced Zhao Renqu presented property . God himself said: "When the beasts of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills are mine. If I were hungry , I do not have to tell you ; for the world and which is full of , all my . or do I eat the flesh of bulls What ? I not drink the blood of goats do ? you should thank God for the sacrifice , but also to the Most High is also your wish . " (" Psalm " 50:10-14 ) who would like to know the grace of God, which can produce Thanksgiving Heart. God does not like people living in the confused years, He wants us to understand our relationship with Him , He wants us to know if there is no grace , we can not live in his front ; again we really know the grace of God is made to pay At what price ! Even his only begotten son is not spared . If we know the grace , it leads to a grateful heart . To show people what a grateful heart? I said that in addition to other , yet the actual action, it is side by dedication of property that his grateful heart, the side that allow property owners to do their own , and let the Lord be your own master .

First, we see very satisfied under the Old Testament a requirement. In the Old Testament , God through Moses the children of Israel law , the mandatory one-tenth of the proceeds should people go to God. " Leviticus " 27:30-32 Festival : " All the earth , whether on the ground seed is the fruit , one-tenth of the Lord is holy unto the LORD . people to redeem this very What is one thing , we must add one fifth. Any herd or the flock , all passed under the rod , the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD as long . " seriously speaking, the people of Israel before God The offering of the firstfruits , if coupled with , sacrifice and dedication in fact more than one-tenth , but it is quite one must offer the people if it does not offer one-tenth of God 's blessing on the stop . " Malachi , " 3:7 -10 section , said: " says the LORD Almighty : From the days of your fathers you are gone away from mine ordinances , fail to comply . Come back to me, I turned to You . You are asked : ' How are we to do ? ' a man rob God thing does? ye have robbed me of the offering . you say: ' How have we win you offering it? ' which you have when And when satisfied that one-tenth of the offering on . Bring ye all the people they robbed me for things , and a curse to come upon you. says the LORD Almighty : When you want to accept one-tenth of completely into Warehouse , so that my family had food , thus if I will not open you the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing , there is no room . "

Dear brothers and sisters , from here we can see that the Old Testament of the people are very satisfied if you do not comply with an ordinance , we will certainly lose the blessing of God , then you ever thought about why such a regulation was it God ? We take a look at David dedication prayer , so that you can understand the mind of God . " Chronicles " 29:14 Festival , said: " What am I , my people, what were you able to give as generously ? because all things come from you , we have derived from your dedicated to you. " from the big Wei 's prayer above , we see him acknowledged God honor and glory , ability, wealth , wisdom and ruleth some facts , but also acknowledged the humble people , and God confused the benefits given to various small People . He acknowledged that things have been dedicated by God , and people are enjoying all of God , which is grace . While the grace of salvation that time not yet to emerge, but the grace of life is significantly Feng Feng a full life in God's people . God, look upon your humble man , giving his all to enjoy , this is grace . Leave the people of God to nine points , one point asking people to offer is to let them know to seek the grace of the Lord be gracious .

Speaking of which, maybe some friends will ask , then we now have is that it uses a very satisfied ? Today many churches believe in the tithe , we recognize that this approach may be on the first letter of people , some minor drilling on some benefits , but if the rules of the Church as a basis for the lack of a . In the New Testament church , because God's grace be revealed without reservation , in the dedication of the truth with the principles of the Old Testament is not the same. In the Old Testament , when it is compliance , whether people like it or not ; in the New Testament time , was based on people's gratitude and willing . Therefore, the practice of property contribution , on the first church in the New Testament to understand the principles and facts.

First, the total of all contributions . We are the Lord, even all of us are all about the Lord , we determined that we are all on all the dedication . We can not say we are of God , but not all of us is God , our Lord is , we all are to the Lord to dominate . We also recognize that all of us all is the Lord , so 11 is not a New Testament church dedicated dedicated basis . Today is not one-tenth or two tenths , or very few , but of all the dedication of all .

Secondly, we are stewards of God . " Peter " 4:10 Festival , said: " each according to his faith to serve one another , as good stewards of the manifold grace of God . " borrow this verse, the fact that we have to know our staff in the sub- family of God - - God's steward . From one angle, we are all dedicated to the Lord of all ; from another perspective, God has entrusted to our hands all we care , call us for Him to deal with these properties , so we learn from God in relation to Means to deal with the property in our hands , according to God 's time to offer . A brother to his own life he is very thrifty , but his property was generous in their contributions . His house and are willing to all the other main use, other people are watching him do so felt curious , but he is very humble , I only God's steward . Yes, we all God's steward, we have the time to learn the supply of God's family and not the dedication to 11 as an indicator . To see go to the main contribution is the account for the fact that property is towards the Lord and offer sacrifice , and this is something we have to look for . Although the revenue contribution of the Church or people, but look at these contributions are owned by the Lord come to him to go . Paul accepted the Philippi Church of feed , and he pressed the Lord blessed mind illustrates this fact. " Philippians " 4:18 Festival , said: " ... ... I suffered from a Ba Futi your feed , as the most beautiful fragrance , admit to God , the joy of sacrifice . " actually received Dedication is Paul , and remember the sacrifice was pleasing to the Lord . " Proverbs " 19:17 Festival , said: " pity the poor , is to lend the Lord , his good deeds, the Lord will repay . " Taylor brothers in his very poor when he was only given two meals meal than he And lack of brothers , God, remember what he did , several times giving him his due . Property is owned by devotion to God 's account , this is a blessed spiritual homework, we ask the Lord to us to see , also told us to proper study .

Savings in heaven

Next we want to talk to the sky savings. Dedication of property that is in heaven savings.

Many people do not understand this fact as often to sacrifice the loss of their own , or own all of the reduction , rather indiscriminately for their own spending, are unwilling to sacrifice, such a person is really too ignorant of . " Matthew , " 6:19-20 has this to say : "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal ; as long as the treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust , Nor thieves break in and steal . " If the Lord is very clear to remind us that only pay attention to the ground by a treasure after all, who added there was no fall in . In recent years we have seen numerous fact , an instant, had the rich and powerful people into the streets homeless . Savings only know how to treasure in heaven , not only today 's remember God , God also told him to live in a rich reward in God . Not to do posters for the dedication , devotion toward God is doing , that men on the basis of complete dedication to do willingly . So not offer property for a person to do , or to see and for others . " Matthew , " 6:1-4 Festival said: "You should be careful not to charity line in front of people , seen by them ; If so , you can not get your Father in heaven ... ... when you give alms Do not let your left hand know the right hand did ; That thine alms thing has been done in secret and your Father who sees in secret will reward you .

Dear percent , sister dedicated to God out of our gratitude , but also willingly , it is not that easy to ask for the honor of showing off to people . If the requester 's glory , would not be willing and grateful for . Many people do things , if people can not get back to the glory and the cost of them would rather not do ; and as children of God we must not learn them , we do in secret , is doing to the Father in heaven to see , do not give Look . In addition, on the dedication we have to correct a concept , as used in the reason , many believers are called to donate to the dedication of property , this concept is not correct . Donations help or relief with nature, and dedication that is totally different thing. First, our God is absolutely rich, do not need human assistance ; Second, we devote the main motivation is because of love , but also because of Thanksgiving , not because there is a shortage of God we went to help Him . Therefore, we do not think God wants our light stick . To know that God is willing to accept them is also a grace of our devotion , although the Chinese " the Bible " this matter better translated as a place to donate items or to donate, but we have a correct idea, is dedicated not to donate .

Another point we need to understand is that the discretion of the offer with the original mind . Out willing to sacrifice , not by constraint, each with the original mind to the discretion of the not so difficult , not reluctantly , because we are really happy people are loved by God . Presented to the Lord should not become our burden , in the New Testament believers neither restrictions tithe , then learn how to dedicate it ? God wants man to do the dedication is from the inside out , God is not regulation was a number, but God is asking each Anzhuo everyone can the offer , following the original mind the discretion of the offer , love the Lord more , offer the More than a few naturally , the same as the poor widow ; and less love for the Lord , offer less naturally . After all, God tells us a result : that God loved people willing to sacrifice .

Is Buying My Child a PlayStation3 a Good Idea?

2010-08-31T02:18:00.000-07:00

Parents are often divided, when it comes to deciding whether or not to buy a PlayStation3 for their kids. Some say that giving a child one of these game consoles can destroy their brain cells, while others are all for it, arguing that the games can stimulate creativity and problem solving skills. Still, parent's concern about their children spending too much time on their video game consoles, such as the PS3 is a valid one.

Whether you believe video games are good or not for your child, it will be interesting for parents to know what the experts say about children and their development if they do or do not play video games. It has been noted by experts that quality games from PS3 or any other type of game console can be both complicated and challenging for children yet, it does not diminish the entertainment value.

Some PlayStation 3 games may even require up to fifty hours of concentration to successfully complete the game. Studies show that even children known to have ADHD problems with concentration are able to play a game for uninterrupted hours.

Experts believe that for some children, the video games graphics and sound stimulate their attention and keeps them focused. Young children often find it hard to practice the same kind of focus when they are at school. There are even studies that prove that the child's level of reading is accelerated through the visual stimulation that they receive from these video games. Some games require the child to read instructions, or the story line of the game, therefore it is one way to encourage the child to read.

When a game requires the child to play a role-playing game, the tasks involved in the game allows the child to learn new words and this helps him advance in his reading skills.

Playing video games make children develop their imagination as well. If the game is about a certain topic, like sea creatures, it can get your child interested in sea creatures also.

It can also help children be more confident, and be friendlier towards other children who share the same interests of playing video games.

So, while some parents and experts think that they should limit the video games playing time of their kids, there are some parents who actually encourage this kind of activity, as they are confident about the benefits a PS3 can provide their child. If your child shows a lot of interest in video gaming, you can buy him a new PS3 that can give him hours of enjoyable fun, and at the same time may be used to practice his reading and focusing abilities.

2010-08-31T02:12:00.001-07:00

There are so many products that claim to be the best hair loss product, that it gets quite confusing to choose which one will actually work to prevent or cure hair loss. If you are one of the over 35 million Americans who have this problem, you would for sure like to know which product actually works.

These products that claim to help treat hair loss come in different forms. If you are looking for one that works in preventing premature baldness or could help hair restoration, a common form will be hair thickening shampoo. It is never true that the more expensive the shampoo is, the more effective it is.
You may be able to find reasonably priced treatment shampoos which will also do the job. These shampoos often have ingredients that can make hair thicker and healthier. Most of the chemicals used in these hair restoring shampoos have not been found to be harmful, and are safe for frequent use.

If you are one of those who are concerned with chemicals, there are also other shampoos available which have organic ingredients. These are considered herbal supplements and are made from natural ingredients such as chamomile, thyme, rosemary, aloe vera, pomegranate and jojoba.

Hair tonic creams are another example of hair loss treatment products, These creams are applied on the scalp and can stimulate back hair growth, adding more volume to your hair, making it appear thicker. The best products that come in cream form are those with ingredients such as panthenol, and some would also contain wheat or soy protein, which are considered natural hair tonics.

Panthenol is also known as Pro Vitamin B5. It repairs and moisturizes damaged hair. Soy protein is known to provide volume and promotes hair growth. Wheat protein protects and strengthens hair and stimulates hair follicles.

These products do work, but you must first know the cause of your hair loss so that you can better decide on the best hair loss product that will work for you.

True wealth

2010-08-24T02:46:00.001-07:00

A few years ago , banks play a dominant United States talk about money and Commercial Bank of ad copy : " money often changed hands , but do not let it led by the nose . " "If someone says you smell covered with copper , you have to pay attention to your Personality of the . " These ads really make us "rich" to generate new views.

For the " rich "people , God is also surprising interpretation. From God 's point of view, a person who has a million enormously wealthy may lack soul ; a poor man with nothing may be God as extremely wealthy .

The magic of money just reminds me of the Bible story of a wealthy young officer . Completed in the eternal life of Jesus and his discussion of the topic , after asking him to sell all their possessions and give to the poor , but also to follow him . Unfortunately, this man " went away sorrowful , for he had many " ( Mark10Chapter22Section). Jesus taught his disciples went on to say : "There riches enter into the kingdom of God is how to hard on! " (23Section )

This is not to say that Jesus hated wealth , but when we put anything more important, more important than God , He was sad . We work hard to make money , but Jesus does not want us to have as a main goal in life . Put Jesus on top of our lives , is the real wealth .JS

He has countless wealth,
All dreams are reached ;
But his life miserable ,
Because he lost soul .Denison

Do not let money or the pursuit of wealth has become an obstacle to you to find Jesus .

Two generations and to resolve the cognitive gap ( 8 )

2010-08-19T23:43:00.000-07:00

Speaking before the parents communicate with their children when the need to pay attention to emotional self- management , not to blame emotional situation out of control children, discipline their children , so bring the opposite effect . Besides being able to manage emotions , the parents should also be able to communicate with a rational way with the children talk .

Rational way of communicating about the specific example : a child during adolescence , parents have a big challenge is to use the computer . Children as long as a computer , he can play , but not disturb the parents . But this is what the parents can really be assured ? This may not be a . The scariest aspect of the computer lies in its access to a broad variety of information, but not all of the information is benign. As is in the development of the boy , curious , and on-line information about sex is easy to obtain . Similarly, for girls, the network may be because the wrong friends, be friends and play deceitful . There are many such examples . However, parents not allow children and computers completely isolated . In today's society, children's learning is inseparable from the network . They find the necessary information through the network , reading, computer functions to complete tasks. Even in more developed countries , operations layout collection, publication of results are conducted on the network . Parents of this age is not the computer , and now the kids can not do without computers . That parents how to know whether the child in the proper use of the computer? This is typical of today's enormous gap between the two generations one . How do parents of children through more interaction and rational communication to understand their children 's maturity in the use of computers is like?

We parents can help children to communicate to him the process of rational analysis . If we parents have to overcome the emotional management of the disorder , children have been able to sit down and talk when the communication began . First of all, parents need to do is to correctly interpret the content of the words the child what the parents if the kids start listening to speaking on the skeptical , the child can feel very hurt that he will be very angry . Suggest that parents start to trust the mind to listen to children about patience , if not agree with the accepted approach first while listen to their child . There are illogical in the children described their parents do not understand or have a place , parents can ask questions , let the children answer , how to help parents interpret their children in the room does.

Each of us parents and children need to talk properly before the prayer , God give us wisdom . Very often, we in the process of communicating with people , only Guzhuo express his own ideas, but very few people to learn to interpret the meaning of words inside . A successful communication , in addition to the speech of people to express clearly , but also has the correct interpretation listener , and when the listener does not understand the willingness to confirmation . Only in this way communication is the rational communication. The aim is to make things clear two-way communication , rather than investigate who is to blame , right or wrong . Of course, this requires practice . Chinese parents are accustomed to one-way, used to teach , with the imperative to urge the children to do something or do something against him . Therefore, parents have to learn to interpret the words of children , and do not understand where in the face of a child is to verify in an objective manner to questions .

When listening to the interpretation of the child , parents are generally aware of the children back to the room opened a computer are done . After interpretation , there is a very important step in communication is the depth of the parents can not really listen . The parents hear the child during this time is not a real homework to do , or fun but useless to serious computer to do homework . Even a child can hear a bit difficult in classes , so they play on the computer and the homework first place in the side . These parents are from the children feel in words . Sometimes children experience difficulties in doing homework , it will divert attention shifted to the network as easily those interesting things . We also encounter difficulties adults will be frustrated , and sometimes the problems at hand will come down before turning their attention , and sometimes not enough time , took a hasty end problems . However, sometimes their own children are not aware they have such problems, he encountered difficulties because of the natural escape , the network has exactly the things that interested him , so he immersed them . Child's sense of maturity, but parents should communicate, through the child's description , use the wisdom of adults , to discover with the spiritual to see the behavior of children in front of the computer which requires parents to help him , to remind Him.

Some children are very smart , he can quickly complete the homework each day , leaving most of the time doing his favorite thing. Like this child, but he may have forgotten the time , not to say that his grades were not good to do, so parents sometimes feel that their kids because the fun computer and neglected their studies. Sometimes bright children needed more challenge , a simple lesson for him is not difficult . Children can not simply look at the computer may challenge the right to find the source , he needs to teachers, parents give him proper guidance, such as to give him the right item . Parents to help him find a time management problems , or need more interesting challenges.

Therefore, the depth of focus parents listen to all aspects of the child 's heart mind and so the children have a more accurate understanding. Lingyun Mu teacher I remember one time , his wife and second son, second son to get a girlfriend because of the problems , tensions between two people . Lingyun Mu went out for dinner with their children on the division , two people talked a lot about football matches and other things . In a harmonious atmosphere, Lingyun Mu division to pull back the theme , recently asked the children how the tension between mother and asked who he was and what is the relationship between the girls . Child is to tell Lingyun Mu division , said that because of his homework time pressure , the mother , then great, it led him to a little emotional . Lingyun Mu teacher was kind enough to chat a lot of children , including the fact that he and the girl, no relations . Lingyun Mu division also to parents concerned about his expectations and so modest to tell a child. After Lingyun Mu division has found a great change. Therefore, the depth is very important to listen .

Two generations and to resolve the cognitive gap ( 7 )

2010-08-19T23:39:00.000-07:00

Parents how to deal with emotions the way the gap between the two generations to promote the relationship between the children ? Village Vision will continue and we talk about teachers and emotional management related topics .

Quarter of the teachers in the past with some parents declared the interaction , I often find that parents how to do it for emotional management , there are still some places do not understand . For example, the time when the child emotionally unstable , well-behaved , we must accept their emotions. Many parents would say he has not , and I accept his emotions , that does not mean he agreed to do is correct it? Sometimes a child will be courtesy of the parents are not yelling , should I let him so no manners? Do not criticize him? Not angry? Many parents are troubled by this very . I once met a mother is asked how his son would not get up the morning , you ask what more , he not only did not thank you , but still very angry . Is this time I could not temper it? I would also like to do emotional management? He soon going to be late , then how can I do?

Emotional management objective? Emotional management is basically a child when he accepted a state of mind , does not mean that he was agreed to do is right, but we distinguish between right and wrong things to stay relatively stable in the time we talk about emotions , not All the time to talk about emotional instability . You must have a prepared mind , he does not get up and was going to be late , it is not right , he needs to adjust his sleep schedule , but how to change him, we need to talk some other time . Now when his emotional instability , it is recommended parents to him to taste the consequences of being late , do not call me when you up when you go to school. Perhaps parents feel that whatever he was late he had , he does not care , it is not more dangerous? If I do not put his name up again , then were late yesterday he did not care , that he was not accustomed to after getting broken?

I would like to remind parents once again , we do not allow this matter regardless , but now is not time management . You wait for him tonight after school , you take from him the consequences of the school , the school will have some records , such as late a few times you have to deduct some of what the score . These are to stay until the evening when we all calm , no mood swings , you must be as soon as possible , but certainly not in the mood of the moment deal . So I want you in particular to clarify the explanations that it is the emotional acceptance is at the time, emotional time that you let him know that you vent the future , parents will not be your anger . But this thing so we all calmed down later, we must deal with , I will not let this thing does not handle and then again tomorrow , do not wait until tomorrow morning and come back processing, you must enter the same evening to rational communication.

Emotions after the next step is to deal with through rational communication , between our different ideas and practices . This is our first time dealing with the generation gap is a very important part. If you know the importance of emotional management , and can tell , you do not worry about. You had to accept the child's emotions , does not mean you agree with his wrong behavior , so after this emotional thing , the next step to prepare your child to do with rational communication. This part of the communication must be rational for parents to understand some of the important elements of communication , not only when you communicate when it is speech , eye movements in your body language itself is also a kind of communication .

Rational communication , it involves the communication of our understanding of how many parents often feel that we communicate with the children is the discipline with a child one-way communication is not bidirectional . We must re- learn the meaning of communication , as we know , like the generation gap , what is the purpose of communication , when children learn language , when Ya-Ya , all we hear about them , and then to the school many things that we teach him . Therefore, we have used the mode of communication with children is a lesson type , or a command -style , or authoritarian , it is also one of the reasons creating a generation gap . After the children grew up , a feeling of being respected , that people will ask you , your thoughts do you think? When people ask you how you feel when you feel he would like to hear what I was thinking , that your self-esteem , as well as your own self-confidence was established. Youth are required to be sure that the process of growth , wise parents will often done for the children of some of the good things to be encouraged.

The purpose is to communicate our message not only to each other , but also an exchange of messages a process. He is not one-way communication , communication is two-way , the main goal of communication is the ability to reach each other can share, to reach a consensus . If you reach this goal, then it is not communication, communication rather than through (*^__^*)。 Many parents say, " I say , I do not know about the few times he did not listen , how to use ? with our family son ( daughter) is of no use because I do not know about hundreds of times before . " Then we have to ask your communication is one-way or two-way ? Especially with young people, particularly in dealing with the generation gap , we stress that the two-way exchange of information . Not just that I feel about this, do you think , I know you know we're OK, no, it is necessary a process of discussion , This is called communication .

When we aim to communicate clearly the future , we look at ways of communication . Communication is not only through language and communication are body movements. When a child feeling very unstable , you pat him, do not say anything , he can feel the love my father , my father can accept me and my father knew my situation. In fact, according to psychologists found that 20 percent of communication is through language, 80% is through body movements. A look, you close down the size of the sound , or is that when you are washing a bowl deliberately smashes , which are sending a message out .

The art of communication that we 'll never be finished , the expression of each individual method , followed by his side , some things will change, some people can not express in words , he will call you with a number of actions to understand his mood.

If we do not know the parents of children , between you and your spouse may be able to communicate the way you try to figure out , some people just could not speak , but he will use some of the ways , " write . " Sometimes a lot of parents with children with e-mail , or call a different time is not clear on the use of text messaging that are representative of some of the ideas in our hearts , it is complicated to a degree , or that our ability to communicate is limited to a Species level , we see no clear way to express some of our inner thoughts and feelings . Therefore, communication between parents and children above these things , and so on and so we learn from a communication in the art . The first communication is an important objective to achieve mutual understanding to work together to achieve a common goal .

What we normally is the way to communicate with our children ? You may never telling him anything , but your body's movements , has been talking with your child a lot . Do not bother me, I have tired , you may have sent a number of body language, tell your child you are not satisfied with me , though you say I love my child ah , but you have unwittingly sent Some information out . We have not sat down to discuss things , but we have to send some information to our children , and this is the need to pay attention to some of their parents , the next time we talk about how kind words above and children in rational communication.

Better -law relationship

2010-08-18T23:53:00.000-07:00

In yesterday's show time, we talk about " the Bible "in a pair of mother- daughter story , and that is the story of Naomi and Luther . Why is this such a harmony of the mother-and daughter to build a close relationship? The main reason is because they can for each other everywhere the sake of showing them to sincerely care for each other , love each other . Touch of love, Paul in I Corinthians Chapter 13 gives us the best interpretation , what is love? Saying, love is not jealous , not for their own benefit, not easily provoked, thinks no evil people , always , always trusts , always hopes , always perseveres 』 .

If we can always use these words to review , the provincial inspection own daughter , or is the mother 's behavior and attitude , then I believe the Word of God will continue to light us, constantly adjusting our attitudes and behavior. Addition to a love -law get along , but also need to forgive each other . As the " Bible " Colossians chapter 3 verse 13 referred to , 『 God has forgiven us , we should forgive each other . 』 -law had not a man , because this marriage was two people pull together, no blood , often the two sides have very different background , ideology , there are big gaps . If you want to from morning till evening without incident , really need both patience and forgiveness .

If you love her mother like daughter loves her husband and mother- love his wife as he loves his son , so many small differences can finely talk on open , plus has been resolved. When the wife 's to think that if my mother and I dispute , I apologize? I will do that to my husband , treated my children? Her mother could do such a review myself, I would like attitude towards his or her biological child? I will forgive their daughter , as to forgive his son the same?

How to teach children

2010-08-18T03:38:00.000-07:00

How do we make our next generation to have a normal life of the Church , so that when they are young , adolescent , when like to know how to get along with the opposite sex , in addition to that they know how to get along with the opposite sex , we should also tell them God established marriage , marriage is very sacred , marriage is wrong does not allow you to try , so that you really are unnecessary and should not contact the male and female friends as a kind of love game, fun , exciting things . So we talk about two things , how to tell their children in matters of marriage to retain a certain awe , kept a prudent mind . Of course leads to the third point is , since this way , then I do not marry it? This is the object of choice , to the parents to help her to choose is more stable in the . You have to decide very early , you will want to do? The so-called professionals do not say you are doing, but from the age of ten she was naive , she was willing to take on when baptized , they ought to look at an example to them . There are only two life your life : One is to serve God is to be the most important thing I have , one is serving God is not to be the most important thing . How would you like to find an object then ? You need to become the kind of person in front of it , you go in front of these people , you will reduce the chance of error to a very small , and God will lead you . If you think that I am willing to dedicate my life to the Lord , I want to be a Christian and Missionary Alliance people go to the factory , to preach the gospel , then you will naturally to the factory on the Isaac met you , met you, Rebecca Canada . As Isaac meditating in the field , look for a team seems a camel is like this. That is the camel , the result is beautiful , but he is not the same as Esau to the field to go hunting , field today to look at this piece , that piece out in the field and then to look at , I went to get a Hittite woman And then get a more beautiful Hittite woman, two people are married to come home .

In small children , they start to teach him that this is an ideal situation. But when he is relatively large , and he may have paid men and women have been friends . Or he is simply , we are talking about very isolated , all day only in the network above , or look at some of these things are not real . They simply called otaku house women , especially in the boys this regard, some of them have is to urgent questions, you see the young age of the boys speak with the girl , the eyes have no way to look at each other . That is why? A girl is too beautiful , too bright , too competent , too , or how prominent a what? Many because of his habits are in network with others from above , the network above his role , which may be real with him , how he read his own considerable gap . So, when he get along with people , the actual face to face contact , he will feel a guilty conscience . He will feel that she is not his ideal to the people , so he may hide , or even how the other party may also be thinking that he would rather hide behind this screen to a single word of the fight, he was behind the screen He can play very Hidetake , or very taste of men , but in fact face to face when he ashamed of . Particularly among the small boys , including the Church has this problem .
Now the girls are too powerful , and now the U.S. has just made a statistics, the market had been won for women , and now an industry which is distinguished woman, old woman dare not touch the industry , now has a woman In to hold the event . And they touched would be discovered that so much stronger than men . The house man , his environment at home which is used to call the shots of his mother . The childhood that my mother took great to know that his father is really a way . So he said to himself that gender had little doubt from the heart , coupled with his habit of this life can now come into contact with , so do not have this ability led to his past contacts with the opposite sex . Do not have that capacity , he will think of the opposite sex are some of the network implied by the above sex , sexual fantasies and the like , he could not flat calm to look at her as just one person . And you think about it , a girl has grown to , and she read to the university or to social work , she exercises every day thing , that is, how in the face of environmental sub- sample continue to cover their own weaknesses , Play to your strengths . When she came in front of the boys when they are all brilliant radiance , head high , comparable to that boy How could they do ? Can remember the morning shave pretty good . So a question we do not prophesy , but to solution side . What solution show? Old methods are: the church to provide normal services to enable them the opportunity to be the gospel , so that they can equal between the .
In fact, there are two solutions to this matter side , one side is slow , one fast side . We talk about slow side , slow side to side means that parents must put this matter as an important thing . Slow side though is the old side, but that was rescued from the root . If you think the Church does not this environment , you have to go to create the church environment. If you do not have believed the Lord , that you will not be saved. You should quickly to Christ, and bring your children to Christ , one can help him , the Lord Jesus, ah !
God made man , he not only made people outside , who also made the inside . What does become a Christian , what the believers ? That is change you inside a new ! More importantly, a child no matter what his problems , and when he came to the Lord , he will have a new change. But God really lead us to re- create it again inside the main ! Many people have been major changes in life, change is brought about changes in personality , all aspects of change, this is the single most important problem at source. If you do not know how to take their children to Christ, it is very simple , you must first letter of the Lord , you want to meet Jesus, and then know how to introduce your child Jesus , which is slow side .
The fast side it , listeners if you have children, you put it in listening to this program a little truth , then I tell you, you should have more contact with children is like Mungo , Beckham such a person . Your child will not like you listen to the radio , then I introduce a Web site to listen to your children , called ' Xanadu ' . There are two very good hosts ( actually Montgomery and small Beira , hehe ~ ) , about the content and very reasonable , which is talking about the Bible , they say that this is the Gospel Arts Network,(You can also look to the Baidu search , enter ' Xanadu broadcasting 'or' paradise broadcasts ' can also be found ) , which all of the transcripts are used mp3, can also be downloaded . Has done more than three years , this is Shangzhi astronomer and geographer , talk about anything . Inside the host key are brothers , let your child listen to one , listen for a long time , they will naturally Beckham this mighty spirit ! *-*
Really, how kind we are a Christian media , they can relax a little , let the children have some follow the example of the object it is difficult to find . After asking , like a long , Mungo and David Beckham or to their own trade shows ' paradise ' out , introduce your child to introduce , let him listen to one . It hosts most of which are in the United States who have studied , come from China , a high degree of brothers . You have to understand how to speak ? How ideas ? How to make friends ? How reading the Bible ? This is a good environment, heard dye may be able to present to him a positive incentive , this is not like ordinary Christian programs , too Ban Qilian come . But the reason why we dare Companion radio advertising , it is because the radio to know our good friend , knowing the two of us watched the two of us to do shows, only two of us to do this to encourage the two men in a drama of the program .

Win-win -law of the Road

According to statistics in the modern Chinese family , half -law marriage because the relationship broke down , came to an end . Therefore, to how to resolve the conflict between mother-and daughter , -law to establish a harmonious relationship is going to face a major problem.
A lot of mother and daughter have a lot of resentment of each other , a lot of complaints . Is not the mother or daughter really wrong with that? In fact, the person who has strong points, if in a more positive and healthy attitude to appreciate each other's advantages or strengths may be more between -law know how to cherish each other . Chinese are more subtle , less praise from others , the closer someone is always a kind of " hard to open mouth in their heart "phenomenon . If the between -law can have more praise , thanksgiving with each other and less criticism, less rancor , that between mother-and daughter have a better interaction . There is a saying: "Children 's shortcomings do not say incredible ; child's strengths and ultimately, do not say . " Many parents often find defects in their children, the expense of merit . Similarly, the mother rarely went to the advantages of a wife , daughter and rarely saw her mother 's strength . We should understand that children need to be praised , the couples also need to , yes, mother is also required from the wife of praise and encouragement. Therefore , as a wife , do not mean to praise her mother was sincere praise of the mother will feel good, will naturally be more on the wife of a tolerant patient . In contrast, daughter also needs her mother does not mean praise , praise each other in good faith make a better between -law interaction .

Do not fight wife control of the family , because his wife was to accompany his son to take care of later life . Mothers want their children happy , if the mother and daughter fall apart every day , that his son will be very upset . Mother to be on the good wife is the good son , son, mother against daughter also because of the love and even more grateful . This is the mother of the wife to the reasons for gratitude . We say be prosper . If his son before the mother often praised his wife , this good word reached the ears of his wife , will make his wife more respect for one-third of the mother . As the saying goes : "You respect me an inch , I respect your foot . " Under such circumstances, even if there is any contradiction between the misunderstandings -law , but also easy communication and understanding , will not have generated much of the conflict .
As a wife and mother should also have a thankful heart . As a wife , and to understand : every day from morning till evening with your husband , is the mother to pay his own best time of life care into the men put up with hardships in his youth was something , the mother handed him over to himself. Therefore, the wife should treat her mother 's as a benefactor to her, cherish her, as enemies do not look at her . If the mother is willing to share the housework or taking care of grandchildren , when , and do not think it is only natural . Not to her mother as a servant , to really grateful to her , and often praised her bright and capable , we should also thank her a lot to pay for their own physical effort . She got you thanked her for granted. If both mother and daughter from the heart of gratitude is often done to each other , encourage each other , then -law making it more intimate relationship .
A good mother , to understand the merits of Aspects of Intellectual wife praised and affirmed . Huang 've been fortunate to encounter a good mother .

When she married after her husband's family , cooking home from work one day , she had mistakenly put vinegar as soy sauce , a dish to Haohao De mess with . The occasion of intense shame when she and her mother was able to understand her , came to comfort her and encourage her to take her more easily. Her mother would accommodate her shortcomings , and Related Aspects of Intellectual advantages to enjoy her . Her mother told her , "Even if you are not does not matter what they are able to learn. But the most important thing is willing to help you have a heart and makes me very satisfied . " because the mother Not captious , singled her to appreciate the advantages , and therefore the relationship between them and the music is . A wise and rational as mother , wife , how will not get the respect and love it ! Huang on the love of her mother , they get along very well.
-Law relationship to long-term peace , we must learn to express their mutual appreciation for each other and appreciate each other's strengths God has given . When the mother-and daughter when the two sides praised each other , love will increase with the increase . We Chinese people affected by the cultural background , are more difficult to praise others, so to learn to break through , to develop the habit of more than praise . It will find praise for increasing or , more harmonious relationship between Mother upgrade .
