Congressman Tony Hall (D-Ohio) and a group of nongovernmental organizations recently held a second anti-"conflict diamonds" demonstration, this time in front of a Tiffany's in the Washington, D.C., metro area in December.
The Chevy Chase, Md., rally lasted two hours and attracted about 125 demonstrators, most of whom were volunteers and workers from organizations that included Amnesty International, Oxfam, World Vision, and Physicians for Human Rights, one of the demonstration's organizers. Although the organizers made a determined attempt to attract local media, only a few reporters attended, including one from Cox Newspapers, a local radio station representative, and a syndicated columnist from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Associated Press also wrote about the event, although the story appeared before the rally was held.
Rep. Hall and Amnesty International held a similar rally in front of a New York Cartier store in November. That event attracted slightly more media attention and included four young girls whose limbs had been amputated by Sierra Leone rebels.
In a press release, Hall continued his assault on the industry, declaring that 30% of "the industry's profits" come from conflict diamonds-a number even most human rights activists think is wildly inflated. "At long last, industry insiders-worried that the smell of blood on this luxury product will hurt their business-are playing catch-up," he said. "So far, though, it's been a lot of talk and not much follow-through.
In a statement, Tiffany said it was working to eliminate conflict diamonds. "Our firm policy is to do no business with any suppliers dealing in conflict diamonds," the statement said. "More than a year a ago, we informed all our vendors of this policy." The statement also noted that it was supporting international efforts toward a conflict diamond ban.
Holly Burkhalter, advocacy director for Physicians for Human Rights, says Tiffany was chosen in part because it led opposition to the NGO-favored Conflict Diamond Elimination Act. However, Tiffany spokeswoman Linda Buckley says that "we suggest the opinion of others has had more weight." Another prominent NGO active on the issue also thinks the demonstrators chose the wrong target: "Tiffany is one of the few companies that is really trying to see that they don't buy conflict stones," says Alex Yearsley of Global Witness.
The demonstrators handed out postcards addressed to Zale, Wal-Mart, and Tiffany. The postcards urge the retailers to support Hall's Conflict Diamonds Elimination Act and to mandate that all their suppliers sell "conflict-free" diamonds. (The full text of the postcards can be seen at www.phrusa.org/campaigns/sierra_leone/rally_letter112900.html.) Buckley says that Tiffany has received almost 200 postcards so far, and he notes that all of the letter-writers received a response reiterating the retailer's opposition to conflict stones.

Biden says minimum wage increase looks like it's not 'going to survive' as part of COVID-19 relief package
President Joe Biden said Friday his proposal to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour is unlikely to make it into the final $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package after negotiations with Congress.
Biden, who advocated for a minimum wage increase before the pandemic began, has pitched the idea as an effective way to help working-class Americans cope with the economic consequences of the crisis.
"No one should work 40 hours a week and live below the poverty wage. And if you're making less than $15 an hour, you're living below the poverty wage," the president told CBS Evening News host Norah O'Donnell Friday. But he conceded that his plan to hike the federal minimum rate did not look likely to be a part of the new relief legislation.
"I put it in, but I don't think it's going to survive," he said.
Many Republicans opposed Biden's attempt to raise the federal minimum wage and some Democrats also had concerns.
'Real people are hurting': Biden says weak jobs report shows why $1.9 trillion in COVID relief is needed
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., told reporters Tuesday he doesn't support increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. However, Manchin, a moderate Democrat, said he supports a smaller increase.
"I'm supportive of an increase that's responsible and reasonable," Manchin said, "and in my state that's $11." Manchin added that the increased rate should account for inflation.
Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa said she was concerned about raising the minimum wage during the pandemic.
Politics live updates: $15 minimum wage unlikely to be in COVID relief bill, Biden says
"A $15 federal minimum wage would be devastating for our hardest-hit small businesses at a time when they can least afford it," Ernst said.
Despite the roadblocks Biden's push to hike the wage has faced so far, he does have the support of progressive Democrats, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who indicated he had not given up on the possibility of including the wage increase in the relief package.
"The budget resolution the Senate passed today puts us on a path to finally raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour," Sanders tweeted Friday. "It is a moral imperative in the richest country in the world that no one is forced to live on a starvation wage, and the American Rescue Plan will get it done."
Sanders has backed a phased minimum wage increase. Democrats proposed to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025, raising it in five steps in the coming years.
Biden told O'Donnell that if his "guess" that the minimum wage increase won't be included in the relief package, he is "prepared" to negotiate a separate bill to make it happen. And he plans to continue to push this issue, which was part of his platform on the campaign trail and which he discussed at his first major campaign rally in Pittsburgh in April 2019.
The last time Congress passed legislation to increase the federal minimum wage was in 2007, when it was raised to $7.25 an hour. Since then, at least 29 states and Washington D.C. have raised their minimum wages on their own.

Victor Davis Hanson writes some good stuff. He moves with ease between the 40,000 soldiers Athens lost in Sicily in 411 B.C., Vicksburg in 1863, and the spring of 1943, the demise of the Soviet empire, and connects them. These were periods of great change when a critical mass was reached in wars when new victors began emerging. This has to do with our current war, he claims. "We are beginning the third year of this multi-theater conflict, and it resembles the Punic War after the Carthaginian defeat at the Metaurus in 207 B.C., the year of decision of 1863, or the autumn leading to Alamein and Stalingrad. Ever so slowly the momentum is building. If we stay resolute and tighten the noose around the Baathists, the days of the extremists in Iraq will be numbered even as the rest of the country begins to prosper. And the final victory will only embolden us and discourage our enemies. The war itself cannot be won in the Sunni Triangle, but it might well have been lost there."
And this: "Very rarely in history do any of the belligerents quite realize what stage of the war they are actually in. The slugfest at Zama still followed Hannibal's escape to Carthage. After Gettysburg there was the terrible summer of 1864 to come. The Battle of the Bulge followed both Normandy Beach and Stalingrad. And for much of the 1980s the world was sure that Soviet divisions were going to crush Polish steelworkers as a crumbling empire went out with a bang rather than a whimper."
Interesting article. But there was one really dark sentence: Our enemies are reeling - if every so insidiously. Is there anyone who can tell me how one reels insidiously? To my knowledge, I've never done it or even seen it attempted.


Bonjour! I got this week's carte postale from an online shop.
Carcassonne is located in the south of France about 80 km/ 50 miles east of Toulouse in the Occitanie region. It's known for its medieval fortress, which was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1997.
I love this postcard because I love Carcassonne. Our house is half an hour drive from there and we visit frequently. If we have family or friends staying with us, we usually take them to see the Citadel. It's very impressive!
Glad you enjoyed this postcard! When I was in Toulouse, my friends had suggested Carcassonne, but unfortunately, my short stay didn't allow time to visit the fortified city. Next time, I hope! Looks like it would take a whole day to visit – is that right?

Working towards a fair and sustainable banana and pineapple trade
All about bananas
All about pineapples
How pineapples are grown
There are a range of worker roles in the production of pineapples, these vary from land preparation in the field to loading pineapples into boxes in the pack house. The diagram below provides an idea of the range of worker roles in the pineapple industry. The red text shows the type of agrochemical used at each stage of the process in conventional large scale production.
Worker conditions can be incredibly difficult. Pineapple plants are spiky and difficult to handle, they grow low to the ground requiring workers to stoop over the plants, and the monoculture production method requires that there is no shade over the plants. Therefore, workers have no respite from the suffocating heat of the day. The majority of large scale plantations are in operation for 24 hours a day. Workers therefore work in shifts of anything from 8 to 14 hours, which vary depending on the time of the shift.
The types of tasks, in both the field and the packing hourses involve using heavy machinery and carrying out repetitive tasks that put a lot of strain on the body (i.e., constant bending over to plant seeds, weed and harvest the pineapples). Some companies are, however, introducing mechanised harvesting which goes some way to reduce the strain on workers.

Many people probably don't even recall that former MVP Derrick Rose was a member of the Cavs at the start of last season, but in the end, it was a very short team four month relationship that ended with a trade to Utah.
Rose is having a rebirth with the Minnesota Timberwolves this season, putting up 18.8 points per game and playing again at age 30 like an All-Star.
Looking back to his time with the Cavs is something it sounds like Rose would rather forget, as in an article on ESPN Rose didn't exactly describe his time in Cleveland as a happy time in his life.
ELEVEN MONTHS AGO, Derrick Rose believed his career was over. Devastating injuries had not only scarred his physical abilities, they had chipped away at his mental resolve. He arrived in Cleveland in the fall of 2017 hoping to provide valuable veteran insight, but, he says, at times he felt like an apparition.
His voice didn't hold weight, particularly as he battled persistent ankle injuries. Rose left the Cavs in mid-November to re-evaluate his career. He talked with mental health counselors, he says, and learned many things about himself, including how to function as an introverted leader.
Rose put up 26 points over the first two games for Cleveland with games of 14 and 12 points, but injuries and other issues cost him lots of playing time in his time with the Cavs.
Now with the Timberwolves Rose is in a better place, and he's turned his career back around for a young team that is 21-23 this season.
Like a lot from a year ago, his time with Cleveland is now a distant memory.


I have noticed that my clients are getting "infected" by malware lately. They report that their computer is quite slow and they continually get "pop-ups." These pop-ups are not in their browsers, they appear while they are simply using their computer. One of the "pop-up" programs I see on almost every client's sluggish computer is PC Optimizer Pro. While PC Optimizer Pro is not malware it certainly acts like it!
I decided to try to figure out how my clients are downloading these nefarious programs. They all swear they did not download them but, of course, they did. I had one of my clients demonstrate how she had downloaded iTunes which she knew was the last thing she had tried to download (iTunes was not installed even though she had tried to download it). She typed "iTunes" into her browser search box. The first few results were NOT Apple.com websites. They were ads!
The word "Download" was prominently displayed which drew her attention to the one she clicked on. I had my answer to how clients are installing these pesky programs. My client, and I suspect, the average computer user, did not understand the structure of a web address. And why would she?! Technology expects so much of the average user.
Her first mistake was to click on one of the "ad" links. Ads are displayed at the top of the search results. If you look closely, you will see "Ads related to: iTunes" and below that a few ads paid for by advertisers, of course. Below that will be the native search results.
The most important thing to pay close attention to in search results is the structure of the web address of the displayed links. The word just before ".com" should be "apple" (in this example). In her results it was "win-install" and "gufile" preceded by "itunes" or "itunes.apple." These are NOT Apple websites. They are subdomains of win-install.com and gufile.com. These types of websites are not to be trusted. Their downloads will, at the very least, simultaneously download (and silently install) several programs which will start popping up every few minutes trying to get you to pay for them.

Case Study Canada : Save as
Several representatives from Canada came this Thursday to paint a portrait of the country in terms of heritage, showing a nation divided between French-speaking Quebec and English-speaking Canada, which are only too willing to work together.
Around the table, led by Tom McSorley, Executive Director of the Canadian Film Institute, were Dominique Dugas, Executive Director of Éléphant : mémoire du cinéma québécois, Ron Mann, Director of Films We Like, Nicolas Dulac, Head of Access, Promotion and Collection Development at the Cinémathèque québécoise, Nathalie Bourdon, Director of Distribution and Market Development at the National Film Board of Canada, and Marie-Claude Giroux, Telefilm Canada's Advisor on Partnerships and Business Development.
"So far from God, but so close to the United States". With these words, borrowed from Porfirio Diaz, former president of Mexico, Tom McSorley began the panel discussion with a sense of humor, recalling Canada's complicated position, both geographically and culturally. After pointing out that the history of Acadian cinema is somewhat eccentric, the Executive Director of the Canadian Film Institute opened the floor for introductions.
First, Dominique Dugas presented Eléphant, mémoire du cinéma québécois, which is digitizing, restoring and gradually making available all of Quebec's feature films. This initiative was born of a philanthropic desire on the part of Québécor. The Eléphant website is particularly precise on its missions and you can consult it by clicking here.
The director Ron Mann then took the floor. He began in the 1980s as a documentary filmmaker at the edge of the experimental, supported by the American filmmaker Emile de Antonio. It is through documentary, which he practiced in particular by filming the North American counterculture, that the man understood the importance of preserving images to keep a trace of the history of the world. This is how he became an archivist, creating a "tax receipt" (at 20%) that acts as an incentive for producers and filmmakers to deposit their works with collection institutes. Along with his filmmaker friends from around the world, he also realized that some, perhaps more niche, films were having trouble finding distribution in Canada and so he became a distributor by creating his company Films We Like. In 2010, he and Ivan Reitman also restored one of Reitman's first films, Cannibal Girls. Then together, they had the idea of re-releasing it in an eventful way, a successful initiative that gave him the desire to restore and re-release more films. A dozen films are currently being restored.
Following him, Nicolas Dulac recalled that the Cinémathèque québécoise was a private non-profit organization created in 1963 and whose specialty is, in particular, animation. The Cinémathèque also includes many documentaries, objects and other film sets, but it also acts as a library with more than 45,000 titles, books and magazines, as well as nearly 30,000 television archives. The Cinémathèque québécoise is also the recipient of the legal deposit and must catalogue and index the works produced with the help of the Quebec government. As for restorations, the Cinémathèque claims that it has never really had a budget for them and is at the origin of a few one-time restorations of very old films that were thought to have disappeared. Recently, new grants have appeared for heritage and a digital cultural plan aims to finance restoration projects up to 500 000 Canadian dollars. The Cinematheque's desire is to emphasize militant, feminist and independent animated films in order to discover these little-known films. However, the problem of the commercial exploitation of these restorations arises and according to Nicolas Dulac, the idea will be to rely mainly on their theaters, festivals and institutions to distribute them.
As shown by Nathalie Bourdon, this round table is proof of the fragmentation of Canadian structures around heritage but also of its smallness since, according to her, "it is a village", each of the panelists having worked with the others recently. She also insisted on the necessity of streaming, which is becoming a powerful way to disseminate heritage to the greatest number of people. This was also corroborated by Marie-Claude Giroux of Telefilm Canada, the Acadian counterpart of the CNC and UniFrance. Moreover, for Canada's 150th anniversary, and Telefilm Canada's 50th anniversary, the latter put online 150 Canadian films that they helped restore. Since 2019, the company is investing between 100,000 and 500,000 Canadian dollars in restorations and digitization of local heritage works. For this, they are partly associated with Elephant but would like to develop and formalize a clearer support program for the digitization and restoration of films.
This was the main desire that emerged from the roundtable. Collectively, the panelists realized that English-speaking Canada and French-speaking Quebec represented two solitudes that lived side by side without exchanging their know-how: restoration and preservation for Quebec, distribution and access for the rest of Canada. This problem is also due to the absence of precise registers that would regroup both the works already restored and those that each one possesses, and that would allow a follow-up of rights. At the same time, they confirmed that Canada's desire to support novelty at the expense of preservation and heritage. From this lack of cohesion between public and private actors, provincial and federal levels and linguistic differences, the panelists agreed to create a coalition to speak with one voice. And perhaps, who knows, allow the sector to become more structured and obtain more funds for a better future of heritage.
An ambition shared by Philippe Chemassu, the main distributor of Spanish cinema in France. Wishing to bring to France "the insolence, the indiscipline and the turbulent side" of this filmography, he is delighted to propose a cinema sometimes put aside by the French cinemas, outside the film libraries, and to present a new look on this country and its contemporary cinematographic productions by means of directors never seen in France.
The discussion then turned to several questions, including that of the budgets allocated to classical film actors in Spain. Budgets that tend to evolve, with the arrival of a new law recognizing classical cinema as a heritage, and therefore entering the funds allocated to heritage. Because where the CNC lavishes in France nearly 70 million € for the restoration, in Spain the aids are of less than one million euros explains Joxean Fernández. A very small budget compared to the increase in the price of electricity in Spain. For Sophie Mac Mahon, the lack of funds is "a real deficiency, which shows that cinema is not considered necessary". And if the entry of the cinema in the national heritage is acted by the law, it is already a first step. The next step is to accompany the theaters in the distribution of classical cinema. An idea supported by Diana Santamaría, who reminds us that the country's distribution aids do not concern heritage works, resulting in a refusal by commercial cinemas to exploit such works. While France sees its arthouse cinemas programming heritage films thanks to the support of Afcae, for the distributor Spain should propose an equivalent classification for its cinemas and not limit them to commercial films. "Cinemas are closing every day" adds Sophie Mac Mahon.
Concerning the Iberian audience of heritage films, the results are positive. For example, Sophie Mac Mahon details the data collected by FlixOlé, which shows that its audience is young, between 30 and 35 years old, and is interested in classical cinema. Joan Castelló's audience is also getting younger, as the new generation is interested in the past, and is even building up an opposition to contemporary films. For Pilar Toro, the question is not whether the public wants to see old films, but rather how to make the public want to. The question of promotion seems essential to her: she cites for example the editorial work done around The Mother and the Whore this year.
Finally, all agree on the question of the Spanish cinematographic identity, which still needs to be developed. "How can we release films that are completely unknown to the general public", asks Philippe Chevassu. "Spain is sick of not having admired its artists enough" concludes Joxean Fernández.

Ed Reed punishment reduce to $50,000 fine
By Terry McCormick
Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed will be in the lineup after all Sunday as he appealed his one-game suspension for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Pittsburgh's Emmanuel Sanders.
Reed was originally suspended for one week due to being a three-time offender of the rule, but on Tuesday, Ted Cottrell reduced Reed's punishment to a $50,000 fine.
In a letter to Reed, Cottrell said, "I have determined that your actions were egregious and
warrant significant discipline. However, I do not believe that your actions were so egregious as to
subject you to a one-game suspension without pay. Player safety is the league's primary concern in
the formation of playing rules and all players are expected to adhere to those rules or face disciplinary
action. I hope in the future you will focus on ensuring that your play conforms to the rules."

With the advent of echocardiography, and cardiac CT and MRI, the role of chest x-rays in evaluating congenital heart disease has been largely been relegated to one of historical and academic interest, although they continue to crop up in radiology exams. In most instances a definite diagnosis cannot be made, however, the differential can be narrowed to a few likely diagnoses.
A systematic approach to interpreting pediatric chest radiographs is required. A detailed understanding of the normal contours of the cardiomediastinum on chest radiography is essential if abnormalities are to be detected, as well as knowing the range of normal for pulmonary vasculature marking.
Before you even begin it is essential to assess the technical adequacy of the chest x-ray. The film should not be rotated, over or under exposed and no excessive lordotic or kyphotic angulation should be present. An adequate inspiratory effort must also have been obtained.
Active congestion is therefore seen in left-to-right shunts when right ventricular output is approximately 2.5 times that of the left ventricle 1. Although the vessels are enlarged, are seen more peripherally than normal and may be tortuous, in contrast to passive congestion the margins remain distinct as there is little interstitial edema.
Oligaemia of the pulmonary vasculature represents decreased blood flow through the pulmonary circulation, usually as a result of right ventricular outflow obstruction with an associated right-to-left shunt.
The aorta may be altered in size, location or shape.
The aorta may be normal, increased or decreased in size.
Although most right sided aortic arches are incidental with only ~10% being associated with congenital heart disease, in the setting of mirror image branching anatomy the vast majority do have cardiac anomalies, most frequently tetralogy of Fallot 1-2.
A small or inapparent pulmonary artery can be due to either it being small secondary to congenital hypoplasia or aplasia, decreased pulmonary flow as a result of pulmonary outflow obstruction as in tetralogy of Fallot, or it being abnormally located as is the case in truncus arteriosus and transposition of the great arteries 1.
Finally, the heart itself may be abnormal in size or demonstrate alterations in shape representing underlying chamber enlargement or anatomic anomalies. It is also important to assess for the correct orientation of the heart by looking for the liver/stomach below the diaphragm and reviewing side markers.
Ribs may demonstrate notching in coarctation of the aorta or maybe only number 11 in patients with Down syndrome 2. Down syndrome children may also show hypersegmented sternums.

ABC began news broadcasts early in its independent existence as a radio network after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ordered NBC to spin off the former NBC Blue Network into an independent company in 1943.NEWS, Red and Blue Networks of NBC To Be Split; WJZ May Be Sold, Thomas P. Swift, The New York Times, The New York Times Company, January 9, 1942, The split (which NBC conducted voluntarily in the event that its appeal to have the ruling overturned was denied) was enforced to expand competition in radio broadcasting in the United States as the industry had only a few companies such as NBC and CBS that dominated the radio market, and in particular, was intended to prevent the limited competition from dominating news and political broadcasting and projecting narrow points of view. Television broadcasting was suspended, however, during World War II.Regular television news broadcasts on ABC began soon after the network signed on its initial owned-and-operated television station (WJZ-TV, now WABC-TV) and production center in New York City in August 1948. ABC news broadcasts have continued as the television network expanded nationwide, a process that took many years beginning with its launch in 1948. However, from the 1950s through the early 1970s, ABC News' programs (as was the case with the television network in general during that period) consistently ranked third in viewership behind news programs on CBS and NBC. Until the 1970s, the ABC television network had fewer affiliate stations, as well as a weaker prime-time programming slate to be able to truly support the network's news operations in comparison to the two larger networks, each of which had established their radio news operations during the 1930s.

Herbert Smith Freehills has advised leading fintech company, LendInvest, on its strategically important securitisation warehouse facility from National Australia Bank (NAB).
LendInvest is one of the of the first fully online buy-to-let (BTL) mortgage providers (having originated its first BTL loan in 2017) and has raised over £1.8 billion of debt and equity investment, making it one of the largest non-bank lenders in the sector. To date, LendInvest has lent just under £400 million in BTL loans through its online platform.
The funding received from National Australia Bank enables LendInvest to further extend its reach into the UK buy-to-let mortgage lending market. The transaction is one of a number of financings that LendInvest has in place for its BTL lending product, including its first £259 million buy-to-let RMBS issued in June 2019 on which Herbert Smith Freehills also advised.
The investment by NAB has received plaudits from the UK government, with Chris Philp, PPS to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, commenting: "This very substantial investment from NAB into LendInvest loans is an important example of how global institutions are motivated to back not only the UK's thriving Fintech sector, but throw their weight behind the country's property sector in a long-term and meaningful way. It's encouraging to see LendInvest push even further in buy-to-let, taking their technology into markets where financial innovation is yet to make its mark."
The Herbert Smith Freehills team was led by Michael Poulton, supported by Charlene Kong (senior associate) and Liz Potts (associate).
Michael Poulton, partner and head of the securitisation and structured finance practice at Herbert Smith Freehills, commented "We are delighted to support LendInvest on another fantastic transaction for them as they continue to strengthen and diversify their funding sources. We are looking forward to working with them on more deals as their business grows."

Technically, I already live on an island. A booming, crowded, metropolitan one- but nevertheless, an island. A getaway to a nearby Singaporean island, one much less populated and less developed, sounded like a perfect day trip to do with my friend Dan during Chinese New Year.
Only a ten minute and $3 bumboat ride away, we headed to the (almost) untouched oasis of Pulau Ubin. Upon embarking on the boat, we could already tell this was going to be much different than mainland Singapore.
Old, weathered boats most likely not up to safety standards, and drivers with less than proficient English shouting, "Money! Money! Money!", it was definitely a step back from the extreme efficiency and often over the top organization that is mainland Singapore.
As it was Chinese New Year AND a weekend, it was packed with people that were also in need of a break from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Despite it being quite busy, it was still noticeably quieter than the mainland and had a more laid back atmosphere. Kind of like stepping into a time machine and seeing what Singapore would have been like years ago.
We rented some less than desirable bikes, that had clearly spent way too much time outside in the humid and rainy weather. Despite some rusty chains and semi-functioning brakes, we (carefully) peddled on to explore the island.
We stumbled upon a gorgeous waterfront campsite in the northern most part of the island, where you could see Malaysia in the distance.
Prepare to have your bag (and body) put through a scanner on the way back to the mainland (even though you never technically left Singapore. I guess being so close to Malaysia, they are quite strict when it comes to potential smugglers? (Hence the marine fence?) *These are all just guesses*.
Spoiler Alert: There were no cold drinks.
The highlight of our time spent on Pulau Ubin (well, mine at least) was "hiking" Puaka Hill. Probably the closest I'll get to hiking in Singapore! We trekked all the way to the top in about 15 minutes (hence the word hill), and it offered amazing views and a perfect photo op.
Despite our smiles, we were a hot and sweaty mess.
It felt so good to climb something, and get rewarded with a nice view for your efforts. (The stair-master at the gym can only do so much).You could actually see some high-rise apartments in the distance! Can you spot them in the photo below?
When we weren't biking around or "hiking" the hill, we spent time at one of the two "restaurants" on the island (I use that term loosely), drinking from coconuts, and dodging monkeys. While my friend Dan was having an excellent time photographing the monkeys, I simply had no choice but to bike right through them while chanting, "oh my god, oh my god," to myself on repeat. Literal CROWDS of monkey families on the paths. Still petrified from my previous monkey encounter, I think you can understand why there are no photos of these monkeys.
It's hard to believe this little gem of an island is part of Singapore, and only a ten minute ferry ride away. I hope it forever stays "untouched", and continues to serve as a nearby respite from the busy city life of Singapore.
Have been enjoying reading your blog entries. There certainly are some beautiful places to visit in this world. I often wonder why people would return to certain places when there are so many other choices to visit. Grandpa and I have tried to NOT visit the same place twice. Would love to see some of your many photos when you get back to Canada. Looking forward to seeing you soon.


Maybe it's cold out and you haven't turned on your grill in months. Or maybe you don't have a grill – in lots of city buildings, you're not even allowed to have one. But still, you're craving a tender, juicy steak.
News flash: You don't need a grill to make a great, 100% grass-fed steak.
But get this. You can actually cook an amazing steak ENTIRELY in the oven. That means organic, 100% grass-fed steak on the table for you, your whole family or your friends who are on their way over, in just one step.
1) Make sure your beef comes to room temperature. Take it out of the fridge and let it rest … like really rest, long enough to be room temperature to the touch. That will ensure it cooks evenly. It can take up to an hour.
2) Select your cooking oil. Choose your favorite cooking oil that works well at high heat. That includes some olive oils, avocado oil, and coconut oil, for example. Brush each steak lightly with oil.
3) Season your steaks. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Other additions, such as dried rosemary, garlic powder, or smoked paprika are optional.
4) Place steaks in an oven-safe dish. Choose a pan with sides to contain the juicy splatter.
5) Adjust your oven rack. Place the rack 3-4 inches below the broiler.
7) Cook steaks on the first side. Leave them in the oven on the first side for 4-6 minutes.
8) Flip steaks. Do this carefully with a long pair of tongs.
9) Cook steaks on the second side. Finishing the steaks will take another 4-6 minutes, depending on their thickness and your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
10) Remove and rest. Rest your steaks for 10 minutes.
11) Plate with your choice of sides and enjoy!
This oven-broiling method works beautifully for 100% grass-fed ribeye steaks and strip steaks. The more fat in your cut of beef, the more forgiving the steak will be if you cook it a tad too long. On the flip side, the leaner the cut – such as sirloin or tenderloin – the more care you'll need to avoid over cooking, and the more fat you'll want to add.
And that's all you need to do to make incredible grass-fed steak using only your oven.

Published: 26 Jun 2003 11:32
Bangalore-based Mistral Software has designed a Linux-based handheld computer around the ARM9TDMI Risc (reduced instruction set computing) processor from Samsung Electronics, which will target vertical markets such as navigation, health care, logistics and hospital management.
"We have made the handheld very customisable, so that we can add modules that make the product more suitable for a specific application without requiring a change in the basic platform," said Anees Ahmed, president and chief executive officer of Mistral.
"For a customer in Europe, for instance, we have added a GPS module so that the device can be used for marine navigation applications."
Called the "Smart Handheld" because it is highly customisable, the device can be configured to incorporate a variety of modules, such as support for GSM, 802.11 a/b wireless Lans, Bluetooth, MP3, PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association), and a hard disc.
The company is offering to customise and license the design to original equipment manufacturers, who will manufacture and sell the product.
The smart handheld is positioned as a customisable platform for multiple applications.
"We are not in the PDA market, as that market is already cluttered," said Ahmed. "While most PDA suppliers have tried to address the vertical market with a one-size-fits-all approach, we offer a design specific to each vertical segment."
The basic platform, which operates as a full function PDA, can be produced for about $130, Ahmed claimed.

The script file will add a data frame containing the variables exported from the CSPro file. The name of the data frame will be the same as the name of the data file. If you exported variables from multiple records, you may have more than one data frame, one for each record. The items from the record will be added to the data frame as vectors.
The two variables at the top give you options to control whether or not you want to use factors with your vectors. The comments give information about each of the options. If creating new vectors for the factors, the name of the new vector will be the original name followed by .f. The default option is to modify the original vector to add factors for discrete numeric variables. Make any changes to these two options before running the script file.

Now Romans chapter 5 is our chapter for tonight as we look again to the living and abiding Word of God. Romans chapter 5. Let me just read the first few verses of this great chapter. "Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we exult (or rejoice) in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also exult (or rejoice) in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance, and perseverance proven character, and proven character hope, and hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out within our heart through the Holy Spirit who was given to us."
This is one of the great sections of Scripture in the book of Romans, for that matter, anywhere in Scripture. It reminds us of our security. Peter said in 1 Peter 1:5, "We are kept by the power of God." What he meant by that was once the Lord takes us into his family and makes us His own and adopts us as son, He keeps us. What a statement. We are kept by the power of God. In fact in John 10, Jesus said we are kept in the Father's hand and no one is able to take us out of His hand. Once you have come to the knowledge of Christ, you are kept by God unto eternal glory, and without question that is the most comforting doctrine in the Scripture. Take it away and fear replaces joy. It is without question the most comforting doctrine to know that once I'm a Christian, I am secure forever. My joy, my comfort is dependent largely on the security of the salvation that God has given me. If it's something He gives and takes and gives and takes and I have to forfeit my joy and my confidence. But my security in salvation is based on the character and power of God and His promise in Scripture.
This is the heart of the passage I just read to you. And it's been a couple of weeks since we looked at this passage so just briefly I'll take you back to some of the things that we said. What we have here is a chain with links that hold us eternally to God. And it's very important that Paul gives that here in chapter 5, because he has been dealing in the book of Romans with the matter of God's wrath in chapter 1, God's judgment in chapter 2, the inability of man to save himself in the first part of chapter 3 and then in the middle of chapter 3 he transitions into salvation by grace through faith alone and talks about how it is that God saves sinners. They escape the wrath of God simply by faith, by believing in the person and work of the Lord Jesus.
And then in chapter 3, Paul talks about justification by faith as the only way to be right with God and shows how no works can earn our salvation. It is a gift that comes to those who believe. Then in chapter 4, he illustrated salvation by grace through faith alone by the life of Abraham, who was the patriarch of all Israel, who was the model of saving faith, and who really established the standard of salvation through faith, he being the greatest example of that very reality.
And so he's been talking then about justification in chapter 3 and chapter 4 by faith. Now the question that immediately is going to come to the mind of the Jew is this. Alright, I can accept salvation by grace through faith. The Lord is going to save me. But what if I sin? Am I secure? That's the question. Can faith alone, at the point of salvation, secure my relationship to God all the way to final judgment or can something invade that? Can it happen as Paul has prescribed it that I believe and embrace Christ but somewhere along the line something goes wrong. I fall into sin. I fall into doubts and questions and God let's go of me. Of course Paul's answer is that's not possible. Faith alone is enough to save and the saving faith that God grants is a permanent saving faith that holds onto a permanent salvation.
The apostle Paul wants to make this very clear in chapter 5 so he starts putting together the links in the chain that hold us eternally to God in Christ. Link number one, let's go back to verse 1. Link number one that demonstrates the security of our salvation, "Therefore having been justified by faith," which sums up everything he's said since the middle of chapter 3 right on through chapter 4. We have been justified by faith. We are secure in that justification, that being declared righteous, because we have peace with God. That is the first link. We are at peace with God. Remember that I told that you God is at war with sinful men. As I read to you this morning in Psalm 139, God hates the wicked. He's angry with the wicked. In fact Psalm 7 verse 11 says God is angry with the wicked every day. And whether men and women are consciously at war with God or not, they are His enemies and He is consciously at war with them.
In fact, in Ephesians 2:3 the ungodly are called children of wrath. That is to say they are born into a family that will experience the wrath of God. They are the objects of God's violent wrath. However, because of our faith in Jesus Christ by which God declared us righteous, peace was made. God's anger was satisfied, because Christ bore fully the penalty for sin. He spent all of his fury on Jesus Christ. That's why Ephesians 2:14 says He is our peace. Because God's wrath was spent on Christ, He made peace with believing sinners. And by the high priestly work of Christ, His intercessory work, he maintains that peace. So Isaiah 32:17 says, "The work of righteousness shall be peace and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever." That is a great verse. That's Isaiah 32:17. The work of righteousness shall be peace. When God declares a person righteous, a settled peace takes place and the effect is forever.
We have made peace with God because all His anger has been spent on Jesus Christ and we have permanent peace with Him through our Lord Jesus Christ. The second link that ties us permanently to God in our salvation is in verse 2. "Through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith." Just as he talked about being justified by faith in verse 1, he talks about being introduced by faith, introduced into salvation, "into this grace, in which we stand." Here's the second great truth. Our salvation is secure because we have permanent peace with God and permanent standing in grace. We stand in grace. This is just an immense concept.
Again, verse 2 indicates, it is because of Jesus Christ. Verse 2 starts "through whom," referring back to the Lord Jesus Christ. It is through Christ we have peace with God. He is our peace. It is through Christ, we have a standing in grace. Through his work at Calvary, all our sin being paid for, God is then free to be gracious to us. He cannot give us grace and just ignore our sin. It must bear its appropriate punishment. Christ became our punishment and consequently we have... Remember I told you in verse 2, we have the Hebrew...or Greek word rather, and this is a very important Hebrew concept but the Greek word is "access." We have access into this grace in which we stand. We now stand in the sphere of grace. We breathe the air of grace. We live in the kingdom of God where grace is the operative principal. Grace is the place where all sin is forgiven, all sin is forgotten, all sin is removed as far as the east is from the west, buried in the depths of the sea and remembered no more. We live in the sphere of grace where Christ ever lives to make intercession for us. We live in the sphere of grace where He keeps on cleansing us from all sin. We live in the sphere of grace where sin abounds, grace does much more abound, or super-abound, the Greek says.
"Access" is the regular Greek word for ushering someone into the presence of royalty. Prosagg, the word "access" literally was used to usher someone into the presence of royalty. It was the word used for bringing a worshipper into the presence of God and we have been ushered into the presence of God and found there a sphere of grace. Jesus opens the door to God and ushers us in. And when we get there, we find not condemnation. We don't find judgment. We don't find vengeance. We don't find anger. We don't find hatred. We don't find hostility. We find undeserved, unmerited, unending grace. And God is free to do that because Christ has fully paid the penalty for all our sins.
Psalm 1:5 teaches that believers will by that grace, be able to stand, even in the judgment. Even in the judgment. So the relationship that we have with God is one of peace by which we have been introduced into the state of grace in which our standing is not — this is an important word — is not at all precarious. It is not at all precarious. The work of Christ created the peace. The work of Christ allowed for the grace.
And there is a third link as we see the chain coming together. We enjoy peace with God, standing in grace and thirdly, hope for glory. Hope for glory, and that's verse 2, middle of the verse right on down through verse 5 at the very beginning. This really is the sort of completion of his initial discussion of this matter of security. And this is most basic to a Christian's life. We are saved in hope Paul says in Romans 8. In other words, we were saved and understood at the time of our salvation that this meant we were headed for heaven. This meant we were going to be in the presence of God. This meant we were going to eternal glory. This meant that someday we would be conformed to the image of God's Son. In fact, Paul, in writing to the Ephesians in chapter 1 says, "We have obtained an inheritance." We have obtained an inheritance in our salvation. That's something not yet received but already designated for us. That is an eternal inheritance already designated for us. To use the words of Jesus and John 14, a place already prepared for us. And it says in Ephesians 1:11, "This inheritance has been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will." So God has predestined an eternal inheritance to belong to us according to His purpose. Verse 12, "To the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ, should be to the praise of His glory." When we came to Christ, we came in hope that we would receive an eternal inheritance. And to guarantee that, it says in verse 13, "You were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise who was given as a pledge of our inheritance with a view to the redemption of God's own possession to the praise of His glory."
When you were saved you were saved in hope, anticipating eternal heaven. When you were saved, you were fulfilling a predestined plan by which God had predetermined to bring you to eternal glory. That pledge was guaranteed to you at your salvation because you were given the Holy Spirit, who took up residence in your heart as the down payment, the arrabn, the engagement ring, the first installment of your eternal glory and the Holy Spirit is given to every believer to guarantee the future fulfillment of God's promised inheritance. That's all a part of our salvation. That's all a part of what it is to come to Christ. When you are told about the gospel and believing in Christ it is with the hope of heaven, the hope of eternal joy and bliss and blessedness and glory and perfection and you are secured in that hope by the purpose of God. You are secured in that hope by the intercession of Christ. You are secured in that hope by the indwelling seal of the Holy Spirit of promise.
And in verses 15 to 21 of that first chapter, it's a great, great section. We don't have time to get into all of it but Paul there is praying and asking that God, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, verse 17, "may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him." He says now that you've come to faith in Christ, I want you to understand what that means. I want you, verse 18, to have your heart enlightened "so that you may know what is the hope of His calling and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints." I want you to understand now that you are Christian, the fullness of your promised inheritance. That's what being saved means. It means you have now been given the right to an eternal inheritance. Paul doesn't pray, I hope you'll hang on to it. He prays I hope he'll get a grip on understanding the immensity of this tremendous promise. This is God's promise. You have been given a hope and that hope is the hope of His calling. The hope of God's calling; that is the hope that is integral to the calling of God. There is no salvation without faith. There is no salvation without grace. There is no salvation without Christ and there is no salvation without hope. That's an essential element of salvation. You are saved in hope. You are saved understanding that what salvation means is that God is preparing a place for you in eternal glory, that He has laid aside an inheritance for you undefiled, incorruptible, that fades not away, reserved, as Peter said, for you in glory.
So you have peace with God. You stand in grace. And you live in hope. Looking at that from another angle, the security of the believer is anchored in the past because Christ made peace with God at the cross. The security of the believer is maintained in the present because we stand in grace. And the security of the believer is guaranteed for the future because we were saved in hope. Every way you look at it, from every dimension, past, present and future, our salvation is secure. Christ secured it in the past, having made peace with God, through His own sin payment, though He was without sin. It is secured in the present because grace is abounding to us no matter what sins occur in our lives. It is secured in the future because God has predetermined before the foundation of the world to bring us to eternal glory.
Peace settled in the past. Grace abundant in the present. And hope for the future. Those are the great realities that anchor us. Now more about this hope. Go back to the text of Romans 4 and look with me at how he views, Romans 5 rather, this great, great hope. Verse 2, "We exult," which is another way of saying we rejoice. I suppose in the vernacular today you would say we are really excited "in the hope of the glory of God." It's kauchaomai in the Greek. It is a jubilation. It is being thrilled. It is being ecstatic. It is being... It is being happy at the highest possible level of joy. Because we are at peace with God and that is a settled issue, Christ having born all the wrath of God for our sin, because we stand in grace, and where sin abounds, grace super abounds, we therefore have no fear for the future. Nothing can alter the peace and nothing can void the grace. We constantly then rejoice in our secure future, our future having already been settled.
And he says it this way in verse 2, "We rejoice in hope of the glory of God." Hope is simply anticipation. It's confidence in the future. It's not wishful thinking. It's a settled fact. It's a settled knowledge. First Timothy 1:1 says "Our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, who is our hope." And of course our hope for the future, our confidence in the future is anchored in Christ as is our grace and our peace. Our hope in future glory is built and based on the Lord Jesus Christ. So here we find the apostle Paul looking at the security of the believer with complete joy. No fear. Joyful, confident, boasting words of those who are secure in the assurance of an ultimate salvation, guaranteed to them by the promise of God, the intercession of Christ, the application of grace, and the resident promise of the Holy Spirit.
Now when he uses this phrase, the glory of God, "we rejoice in hope of the glory of God." What is he talking about? What does he mean, specifically, the glory of God? Well he means the glory that belongs to God. In other words, our hope is that we're literally going to share in glory that belongs to God. You say that sounds impossible. It is from a human standpoint impossible to think about but God has so pledged to us. John 17:22, Jesus in His high priestly prayer, you'll remember, said, "The glory which you gave me, I have given them." What an amazing statement. The Lord Jesus Christ said to the Father, I have shared our glory with them. If you are a believer right now, He has already shared His glory with you by giving you the Holy Spirit who dwells within you, the very presence of the glory of God.
What is the glory of God? It's simply the expression of His person, the expression of His person. We have been given a measure of the glory of God. There's much more to come. Romans 8, we already went through the chapter. Just a reminder of verse 18, "The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us." In the future, there is going to be a...a manifestation of glory to us and through us the likes of which we cannot even imagine. We cannot even imagine. It goes on to talk about the fact that we groan to experience this. We groan, verse 23, within ourselves waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body for in hope, verse 24, we have been saved. We're not what we're going to be right?
We've been saved in hope. We've not yet seen the glorious manifestation of the sons of God he talked about in verse 19. We have not had the redemption of our body that someday will be made into the very body that is like that of our risen Lord Jesus Christ. We have been saved in hope. And he says in verse 24, "Hope that is seen is not hope. Why would one hope for what he sees?" So we have been saved in anticipation of something we've never seen. Now this is a very important part of our salvation. I can tell you why very practically: Because for many people, when they became Christians, life got much more difficult. I hate to tell you that but Jesus coming into your life is not the end of all your trouble. It may just be the beginning of a whole lot of new trouble. I'm sure life was much more complicated for the apostle Paul after his conversion than it was before.
And throughout the history of Christianity, when someone proclaims the Lord Jesus Christ, it is inevitable if they are faithful in doing that the persecution will come. And being a Christian doesn't at all protect you or insulate you from all the grief of this life. Christians struggle. They struggle in their lives with sin. They struggle with temptation. They experience disappointment, unfulfillment, shattered dreams, broken relationships, messed-up marriages, broken families, disappointing children, loss of jobs, cancer, heart disease, and death. They go through economic difficulties. They go through challenges just like everybody else does. Let me tell you something folks. Our salvation is largely predicated on something we will experience after this life. Isn't it? Coming to Christ doesn't eliminate all the problems of this life. In fact, it compounds them for us because all the things we are naturally drawn to, we have to say no to.
And so we live these lives that are restricted by the Word of God because we love and honor the Lord God and are confident He has something prepared for us in the future that makes any suffering in this life small compared to the glory which He will reveal in us. And the more faithful we are in obedience to Him, to suffer here for righteousness, the greater will be our eternal glory. And we're all banking on that, aren't we?
We are saved in hope. We haven't yet seen the very real ultimate end of our salvation. Here we are gathering and serving the Lord and entering into study of the Word of God and the application of the Word of God and trying to live lives that are unto God and do all of this and I promise you this, they are no earthly rewards pledged to you. It won't necessarily make you rich. It won't necessarily make you healthy in spite of what people want to say. We're basically looking to the future. We are saved in hope.
Now what kind of salvation would it be where the future wasn't secure? Where you made all of these commitments and endeavored to do all of these things but had no guarantee along the way that you were ever going to make it? Boy that would get old, real fast. That is such a travesty on what the Scripture teaches. We have made peace with God because all our sins have been dealt with. Christ made that peace. He is our peace. We stand in grace. No matter what sin comes into our life, grace is granted in response to that sin and we were saved in hope. The whole purpose of God in saving us indicated in Romans 8:29 was that we might become conformed to the image of His Son.
He saved us to take us to glory and make us like His Son. We were saved in hope, that is to say the hope of sharing in the glory of God. First John 3:2: "Being like Him...being made like Him." Second Corinthians 3:18: "Being transformed into His image from one level of glory to the next." Philippians 3:21, that incredible statement that we'll be transformed into a body like unto his glory. Just amazing, amazing promises. The hope of the glory of God then is our confident assurance that in the future, we will partake of divine glory. We will literally partake of divine glory. We will enter into the consummation, the glorious revealing of the children of God.
In 2 Timothy 2:10, Paul is talking about salvation. A lot of passages on the subject but here's one that you might overlook. Paul says, "I endure all things for the sake of those who are the elect, who are chosen, that they may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus." Listen to this. "Salvation, which is in Christ Jesus and with it, eternal glory." It is attendant to salvation that we receive glory, eternal glory. Some day we will be made like Christ. We will be made in His image. We will be perfect and without sin and holy. We will be the...the brothers of Christ as Romans 8:29 says. "He will be the chief one among many who are made like him."
Verse 30 says he predestined us. He called us. Romans 8 he justified us. He glorifies us. You're going to make it to glory. Everybody who is justified ultimately is glorified. There cannot be any failure on God's part in this plan because God made the plan and God has the power to carry it out. Listen to Jude, the end of the little epistle of Jude is a wonderful benediction. "Now to Him who is able to keep you from" what? "Falling." "Now to Him who is able to keep you from falling and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy." There it is: The pledge and promise that God is able to keep you from falling and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless and with great joy.
The writer knew exactly what he was talking about. Our hope is secured in the power of God, the promise of God, presence of the Holy Spirit, and the wonderful intercessory work of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is our great hope. "Blessed be," writes Peter, 1 Peter 1:3, "the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope." What is that? Verse 4: "To obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you." Then verse 5: "Who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." You are protected and you'll be brought to that final glorious salvation.
Now let's go back to Romans 5 and he continues to talk about this hope in ways that are so wonderful. In verses 3 and 4 of Romans chapter 5, he expands on what he has said about hope. He has talked about rejoicing in hope. Now he says, verse...well, we'll pick it up at verse 3. "Not only this." Not only do we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God but in the meantime, we also "rejoice in our tribulations, knowing that tribulations bring about perseverance and perseverance proven character and proven character hope." This is really wonderful and it's kind of what I was saying earlier. The believer not only rejoices in the glory to come. We rejoice in the hope of glory. We are thrilled and excited about what awaits in the presence of God but in the meantime we're not down in the mouth and we're not in despair even when we're going through tribulation.
Why? Because we understand, listen, that tribulation contributes to perseverance and perseverance contributes to proven character and proven character enlarges our hope. Why? Because as we become more and more like Jesus Christ, we will be...we will be the recipient of greater and greater eternal reward. That's the bottom line. For example, if as a Christian you suffer what I call righteous trouble. You suffer for righteousness sake, you're persecuted, you're wrongfully accused and abused, you're misjudged, misrepresented, assaulted by the kingdom of darkness, assaulted by family and neighbors and coworkers and classmates and whoever else, you are falsely accused, that is a positive. We rejoice in that. Why? Because it's an honor to suffer for Christ, isn't it? Paul saw it as an honor to bear in his body the marks of Christ. It's an honor to suffer for the One who suffered for you. Not only that, it's a joy to experience sustaining power. It's a joy to experience sustaining grace. As we saw with Paul in 2 Corinthians 12, the more he suffered, the more his prayer life was enhanced and it's a joy to commune with God. And when you suffer and you see the delivering hand of God, it increases your faith. So righteous trouble is...is a cause for rejoicing. It's an honor. It's a privilege to bear the marks of Jesus Christ. It's a tribute to your faithfulness to do that. It's a joy to experience the sustaining grace and power of God in the midst of that. It's a privilege to see that drive you to your knees and increase your prayer life and thus be enriched by the communion of prayer. It's a special blessing to have faith increased as you see the power of God expressed in your suffering.
But even unrighteous suffering, let's talk about unrighteous suffering or unrighteous trouble. Well what do you mean by that? I mean the trouble you bring on yourself because you sin. That happens too, doesn't it? I suppose we could put it under the category of chastening. Hebrews 12, if you're going to sin and violate the law of God and as a Christian you're going to live a disobedient life, the Lord is going to chasten you. He's going to come to you like a loving father would come to a child that he cared about and He's going to bring about the necessary discipline. He says in Hebrews chapter 12, "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord nor faint when you are reproved by Him, for those whom the Lord loves He disciplines and He scourges every son whom He receives. It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with sons, for what son is there whom his father does not discipline. If you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons."
So what is happening is the Lord is chastening you and producing holiness and righteousness. So that's what verse 3 is saying, we rejoice in our tribulation. Why? When it's righteous suffering, it's a privilege to suffer for Christ. When it's unrighteous suffering, it's purging us and sanctifying us and conforming us to the standard of holiness. So we can say as Christians, we rejoice in all our sufferings, all our thlipsis, all the pressure. Why? Because it produces something in us. Look at it again in verse 3. It produces perseverance or literally hupomon, endurance. Endurance. It means... It's from the verb men, to be...to remain. It's the preposition hupo, which means under, to remain under, to endure under circumstances. And when you go through these sufferings, they produce endurance and endurance produces, the translators say, proven character.
Dokimion, that literally means "tested character." The word dokimaz, familiar word, means to put something to the test for the purpose of approving it. "Proven character" is a good translation. All the flaws removed.
So we rejoice in the future hope. But we're not concerned about what happens here in terms of its negative impact. The worst that can happen to us here at the hands of others who persecute us has a positive effect. The worst that we can bring upon ourselves by our own sinfulness, God disciplines and produces out of that the path of holiness and sanctification. So verse 3, we rejoice in our tribulation because it produces endurance. Endurance produces proven character, at he end of verse 4, and proven character leads to an expanded, more wondrous, more joyful, more fulfilling hope.
Boy that is such a great, great truth. The more you suffer in this world, the brighter your hope becomes. The more you suffer for righteousness in this world, the brighter your hope becomes because the greater will be your eternal reward. So as the Lord refines us and refines us through persecution or through chastening, He is more and more causing us to be able to endure and to be shaped into proven character. The tree shaken by the storm roots itself more deeply. And that's what happens in our lives. Salvation doesn't refine the character. It just plants the capacity. The trials really do the refining. And we rejoice in tribulation. That's what's so wrong about much of the emphasis today. People seem to think that the Christian life should be a path in which you escape tribulation. Somehow everything needs to be immediately fixed, whether or not we're supposed to go to some miraculous path to find the miraculous answer to fix our problem or some counselor to fix our problem or some alteration of circumstances. The fact of the matter is it is the very trials and tribulations of life that God uses to shape us and we should embrace them with joy because they produce a greater and greater hope. They make you long for heaven more and they'll make eternal heaven even more glorious by increasing your eternal reward.
First Thessalonians 3:3 puts it this way: "So that no man may be disturbed by these afflictions." Why? For you yourselves know that we have been destined for this. We have been destined for this. Andrew Murray has the idea. He writes, "First He brought me here. It is by His will I am in this strait place. In fact, I will rejoice. Next He will keep me here in His love and give me grace to behave as His child. Then He will make the trial a blessing, teaching me the lessons He intends me to learn and working in me the grace He means to bestow. Last, in His good time, He can bring me out again, how and when He knows."
You are literally, even now while waiting for eternal glory, being conformed to the image of Christ and given a greater way to glory through your sufferings. We are then secured to God with a peace that cannot be altered, a grace that cannot be replaced, a hope that cannot be destroyed. And verse 5, "And hope" I love this "does not" what? "Disappoint." "Does not disappoint." The idea here is someone who becomes ashamed because they trusted something that deceived them. They were bilked, we would say. They were conned. Boy, the world is full of such people. My, my. Everybody outside the truth of Christianity and any other religion is in the midst of a satanic con job, aren't they? And their hope is going to be smashed someday. People without hope are described in Ephesians 2:12. People with a deceptive hope are described in Proverbs 11 but we have a hope that will not disappoint. And we're never going to be ashamed, never going to be ashamed.
Those are the three great realities that link us to eternity. And they're really all built on the immense and amazing love of God. Look at verse 5, "All of this because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us, for while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly." And he goes on to discuss that. But that's for next time. All of this is linked to another great immense link. Peace, that's one great link. Grace, that's one great link. Hope, that's one great link. But the anchor to this is God's great love. And we'll look at that next time. Let's pray.
Father, we are so overwhelmed and so overjoyed to contemplate these great realities, thankful to you for not only doing these things but revealing them to us with such great clarity that we can't miss understanding. Our hearts are overjoyed because of it. We thank you for our eternal salvation from which we can never be severed. Lord we aren't worthy to be saved. We aren't worthy to be kept. We certainly aren't worthy to be glorified. But that makes it all the more your glorious work for which we thank you and praise you. Lord, if there are any here who have not entered into this glorious salvation, by which they are linked eternally to the living God, we pray that this might be the very hour of their great salvation. Be merciful to sinners and save them for Your glory. We pray in Jesus' name, amen.
