Postgame Quotes: Week 14 Chargers
CINCINNATI BENGALS HEAD COACH MARVIN LEWIS
Opening Statement:
"The decisions I made today didn't work out for [us]. We didn't get to make the break and it seemed like this-or-that decisions today. Put us in the situation whether it's fourth down when they make a stop. The two-point conversion, so forth. We didn't get to make the breaks. Our guys who settled down on defense did a better job. I though offensively we set out to run the football early in the game. Did a nice job. We were able to come back out in the second half and sustain it again. Again, [QB] Jeff [Driskel] continues to grow, the quarterback. Obviously, today, the margin of error and the opportunity — they make the big pass there in the start of the fourth quarter that gives them the field goal and makes a difference in the game there. We have the two penalties — the one on the goal line and later on, the one in the one minute that gives them the opportunity for the field goal — disappointing. We've got to do better. Young guys that have a lot of football ahead of them and they've just got to understand the situation and do it better."
On the overturned touchdown:
"Well, with the way they changed the rule now for quarterbacks, whether he's sliding, diving, whatever, when he first goes to begin it, that's the down-side of that."
On signs of progress:
"Well, the team needs to win. That's the only progress that really counts, is winning. We've got to keep putting them into position to win. Obviously, when they're in that position, they've got to make the plays to win the game, and keep grinding and finding a way to make plays to win the game. We've got guys playing big-time football, and we've got to make sure we're doing it all the time."
On the decision to go for two in the first half:
"I just thought, you have a lot of time left. You have a lot of time. You can look at it either way. We felt good about the two-point play. Obviously, we didn't get it. Those are the things we've got to do. It was fourth down and four inches basically. It's aggressive, but it is four inches. We've got to be able to pick that up."
On if failing to get two on that play is indicative of the season:
"No, I just think that in that point in the game, we needed to pick that up. That's part of what we set out to do in this football game, is to handle the inside run and do a better job."
On QB Jeff Driskel's progression:
"It's hard for me to say. Sometimes I have my back turned, but again I think the biggest thing is keep taking care of the football. That's the thing. We're constantly talking about [going] to the next down, continue to play within yourself and we'll rate his progressions as we go. There were some where he was a little quick, and he had opportunity — even on the two-point play — he had the play, and he went away from it. So, those are things that over time he will do better, and he's got to understand that. Again, he's doing everything he can. This is great for him and his career. This is career-changing for him to continue to play the way he's playing."
On how much use he has for moral victories:
On if moral victories mean anything considering what the team has been through:
"No. That's not what this is about. This team, the fans — they deserve a win. We've got to keep pushing and grinding and get guys in position to make plays. To say [it's] a moral victory for [WR] Tyler Boyd, that isn't worth [anything] when he's playing his tail off week in and week out, day in and day out. [RB] Joe Mixon, guys stepping up and playing on defense today. They did a great job. They put us in position with some things — the way they do things — we had to change our style, and I thought the guys did a great job of understanding the plan and changing our style after the touchdown on the screen play."
On the defensive performance:
"After the first two drives, we settled down and played. That's what you have to do. There is nothing that happened early in the football game that they hadn't been through. They didn't invent new plays. They only had 11 guys out there and we have to do a better job of understanding it and getting our job done. We have to go in and get ready for the pace of the game. For whatever reason, we have to get hit in the jaw before we respond. So I guess I have to take a bat into the locker room before the game and do something different, but it just takes us time to respond. Then to jump offsides at the end of the half, you can't do that. Those are the things that are talked about all the time — understand the situation."
On if he has ever given thought to not deferring to the second half:
"No, it's the only way you can get two possessions. That's really the only way that you get an opportunity at that. It worked out, if we just had the sack and get the ball and any momentum they may have had from stopping the two-point [conversion], we gain back. If there is something anything such as momentum at halftime, not that there is, but again, we have the opportunity to get off the field there with the sack and all 11 guys have to execute the plan all the time."
On utilizing players in different roles:
"They came in in some substituted defenses, that's all. It's just next man up. It gives them an opportunity to get out there and do something. I think [Offensive Line Coach] Frank [Pollack] felt it was appropriate to have a couple roll-throughs in there at guard."
On if their performance on defense after the first quarter and if that is the standard he has set for the team:
"That is how they should be able to play for four quarters. I thought corners had a tough duty. 13 [Chargers WR Keenan Allen] is a hell of a player. He did a nice job except for the over-route there later in the game. We did a good job trying to keep hands on him all day long and make it hard. We made them have to go to the second option. We made some plays, had some tipped balls early on, they just kept falling to the ground. We never got them in our hands. Again, these guys have worked hard. It's a long trip out here and we wanted to come back with a W and we didn't get it done."
On how a team that played how they did in Cleveland turned around and played how they did today:
"Just doing your job. In the Browns game, there is nothing that was different. Just do your job. It's a simple thing. In that case, experienced guys, young guys, it was a collective collapse in the first half of that game against the Browns. It's just not right. Since then, they've settled down and figured it out. You have to coach them hard. We'll continue to do that correct hard. We had a little bit of that in that first drive. You have to do your job. If you don't do it, who is going to do it? I can't come off the sideline and make the tackle. I want to, but they won't let me. That's the thing, we have to do it and do it right. Hopefully we have gotten it to where when we have a breakdown, they understand where it is. I think that makes a big difference."
CINCINNATI BENGALS QUARTERBACK JEFF DRISKEL
On how he felt about the game:
"I thought we played well on offense. I thought we played well on first and second downs. We just didn't make the plays, we made some plays but not the ones we needed. We have to find a way to convert those. There are no moral victories in this league. We have to fight, scratch and claw to get a win."
On being surprised with some of the play calling:
"We have to play aggressive to win a ball game and that's what we did. [Head] Coach [Marvin Lewis] had full confidence that we would convert on some of those plays and same with everyone else on offense. Unfortunately, we didn't."
On the rule change not to give himself up:
"I was not giving myself up, that is within the rule book and how it is interpreted, it is what it is. I wasn't giving myself up, I have to figure out another way to get myself in there."
On Head Coach Marvin Lewis going for it with fourth-and-one:
"It's one yard and he thought we were going to convert. I thought we were going to convert. We knew that was just the way we were going to play that game. We were going to play aggressive and if we picked that yard up it might have been a different story. We just didn't execute and when you get an aggressive call like that you just have to go out and execute and we didn't."
On if he was supposed to throw to DE Sam Hubbard on his overturned rushing score:
"He was an option. He was out on a route and they had it covered. I was trying to make a play there, but yes he was definitely in the progression. The call was unfortunate. I did what I thought I had to do to get in and that call was just tough."
On the two-point conversion with the sack at the end of the game:
"It was a pretty simple look, they didn't surprise us with anything on defense all day. We didn't convert and we didn't execute. We just have to find a way to do that. The first two options that I had I didn't think it was clean enough to let it rip so I just tried to create because you have to find a way to get in on two-point conversions. I don't know who got me, but we've just got to make that play."
On TE C.J. Uzomah being the first option on that play:
"Yeah, it's all dependent on coverage so anybody out in a route is a viable option and we just didn't get it done unfortunately."
On the headset and communication issues:
"There were a few times where I wasn't getting anything in the headset and we were prepared for that. I didn't let that affect us. I looked over to the sideline and got some hand signals. I was able to get the calls in and that doesn't happen too often, but we were ready for it."
On if he ever called a play himself:
"No, I didn't make anything up, I looked over to the sideline and got the call from the sideline and got it into the huddle. Unfortunately, that stuff happens sometimes and we just have to have poise, which I thought we did."
On what he was attempting to accomplish on the two-point conversion:
"On the two-point conversion we have two of our best guys over there to the left — C.J. Uzomah and [WR] Tyler Boyd. I have to find a way to get them the ball whether it's a get them the ball right now or make somebody miss and find somebody late. I just didn't get it done. That happens in football and it just comes down to us not making enough plays as a unit."
On if he was banged up during the game:
"Football is a physical game and stuff like that is going to happen. I'm good. There's really no issues, but sometimes you get banged up a little bit and you get looked at. If the doctor says you're good and you're good, so I was fine."
On making a committed effort to get the ball to RB Joe Mixon:
"Yeah, you always try to get your best players the ball and I thought Joe did a nice job hitting the holes. Even sometimes when there wasn't much there, he created. I thought he ran hard. I thought he really battled and that was big for us today being able to run the ball effectively."
On going for it on fourth-and-one:
"I love when they want to be aggressive, Coach [Lewis] had full confidence that we were going to get it done and unfortunately we came up short. When you have your head coach's confidence like that, that's encouraging."
On if the two false starts were communication issues:
"Sometimes things like that happen and it's something that we've come a long way with ever since I've been playing. It's still something that we've got to get cleaned up and those are things that hurt."
CINCINNATI BENGALS SAFETY JESSIE BATES
On penalties and how they can be deflating:
"It's very frustrating. It's as simple as staying onside. It's what we learned since the first time we played football. It's disappointing that we keep having the same thing come up. It costs us points as well. When guys are scoring a touchdown, kicking a field goal that's a huge part of the game and it shows up."
On how they played today:
"We lost. It's still frustrating that we're losing and you can't get it turned around. Hopefully next week, we play our last game at home in the 2018 season, and hopefully we can give our fans a win."
On the field goal made by the Chargers right before halftime:
"It's frustrating. I'm not sure what the score was at halftime, but we had a lot of momentum. The offense was getting the ball back coming out so jumping off sides and giving them free points was a huge part of the game. We lost by five points so it's a different ball game. You have to continue to have discipline and take this thing by winning."
On if it's frustrating to have the loss with the way they played after the first quarter:
"Everyone out there knows it, we have talent and we can play anybody. It's just playing it for four quarters and winning ball games. Unfortunately, we didn't do that tonight. I thought we did well we just didn't win."
CINCINNATI BENGALS WIDE RECEIVER JOHN ROSS
On coming back home to Southern California:
"It's one of the best feelings I've had. Definitely the most fun I've had playing in a stadium since I've been in college or in the NFL. Nothing can beat playing in front of your family and your friends and your son."
On having people from his foundation at the game:
"I sponsor a class down in Long Beach, for Jackie Robinson [YMCA]. I selected four kids out of a raffle, bought them tickets and let them come watch the game with their parents."
On what it means for the kids at his foundation to come to the game:
"It means the world. I know we all come from the same area and a lot of kids are not fortunate enough to do something like that. I wasn't when I was younger. So, just for them to come out and be able to enjoy something like this I know they had a great time."
On when he hosts camps at his foundation:
"Every season. I'm all-year round. I did a toy drive yesterday at my old high school. That's something I do. I'm thinking about doing something else for Christmas in Cincinnati. It's just always a thought process and whenever I'm free. I love to give back and help the kids. I know they deserve it."

The sample has to be directly taken in an approved instrument operated by a certified technician. The reports of the analysis made by the technician are admissible during trial. Our Hawthorne DUI Lawyer goes through all these procedures and will ensure that none are overlooked.
Because of how strict the laws are in regard to drinking and driving in Hawthorne, it is always advisable to contact an experienced and reliable DUI Lawyer.
Recently, there have been a lot of drinking and driving convictions in Hawthorne courts. This is why drinking while driving has become the most reported offense in California with a high number of convictions. Drinking and driving cases are the ones that are most likely to be sent to trial than any other criminal offense in the state of California. The reason is that at trial, these cases are often contested on highly technical grounds based mainly on police violations where the various sub sections of Section 23152 of the Vehicle Code are cited in defense of our client.
As one of the most respected and relied upon drinking and driving lawyers in Hawthorne, we have several years of experience in successfully defending our clients with driving and drinking charges. Largely due to our vigorous cross-examinations of prosecution witnesses as well as our ability to target technical insufficiencies, we have produced consistent results in clients cases. If you have been charged with drinking while driving in Hawthorne, CA, you should contact us immediately. The earlier you get in touch with us the better it is for you in order to get out of this mess.
The most common of all drinking and driving charges in Hawthorne, CA is exceeding the BAC limit of 0.08%. A police officer can demand a person to provide breath samples into an approved instrument if there is reasonable ground for the officer to suspect that he/she has committed an offense under the California Vehicle Code Section 23152(b) within the last three hours due to the consumption of alcohol. The cutoff level is 80 milligrams in 100 milliliters of blood and this evidence is used against you if taken to trial.
However, when defending our clients in Hawthorne, we resort to some of the most effective methods. Through the cross-examination of prosecution witnesses and presentation of other evidence, we try to establish (proof that your rights were violated) when they demanded you take a breathalyzer test.
A Hawthorne police officer can make a demand for additional physical coordination tests to check for sobriety when the officer is in doubt as to whether the person has consumed alcohol or drugs and that he/she has been in control of a vehicle in the past three hours. On the basis of these tests, the officer may further make demands, such as the demand for the use of other approved instruments, a blood test, a urine test, or a drug evaluation. After these tests are taken, then the driving and drinking charges will be validated based on the results.
Whenever one is accused of drinking while driving in Hawthorne, California, the use of approved screening instruments is crucial for testing in order to determine whether someones BAC is over the limit. These approved screening devices are calibrated in a way that displays fail if the BAC is above the prescribed limit of .08%, caution if between 0.05% and 0.1%, and a numerical value if the BAC is below 0.5%. When a lawful command is made for such a test by an officer, turning it down means is considered a criminal offense by a driver, unless there is a reasonable excuse to do so.

Happy academic new year! August and September are marked by the arrival of new students and the energy and excitement they bring. Each year at this time, deans and faculty hone their message of welcome. Some years we focus on the broad range of opportunities that a law degree offers; other years our welcome is filled with advice on how students can get the most from their education. This year, though, my focus will be more external: reminding our students of the role of lawyers in our society and the expectations that go with that role. From an informal survey of fellow deans, it sounds as though many others are planning to emphasize a similar theme.
The following is a brief version of my message to students.
To the class of 2021, welcome. You are in for an exciting and challenging education that we hope will provide the opportunity for an equally exciting and challenging career. Your education here will be transformative: You will acquire new knowledge and skills that will open your mind and open doors. And your education will enable you to transform the world. You'll soon find that law is the connective tissue of our social order. It structures everything from our most intimate family relationships to our most public political processes. Your legal education will enable you to be doctors of our social lives. People will turn to you for help both in their private affairs and their public interactions. When our democracy is ailing, it is lawyers who can, like doctors at an accident scene, step in to assist.
Becoming a JD–a doctor of laws–will require not only that you study hard, but also that you approach your studies with an openness and curiosity. Reading cases in law school is our equivalent of the human anatomy lab. You will be exposed to the hidden structures of our legal systems, and some of what you see will be beautiful and inspiring while some will seem to you ugly and pathological. But like a good doctor, you must try to understand it all. Do not isolate yourself from views that you disagree with. Engage, listen, and learn.
You are all no doubt excited about what awaits you, and maybe a bit apprehensive, too. You should know that your faculty and staff feel the same. We are excited to get to know you and to watch you develop your professional knowledge and skills. Like you, we may be a bit apprehensive—though for different reasons. We know that we are educating the lawyers who will shape our world for the next 40 years, and we know that world will be filled with challenges. We will need leaders and peacemakers. We will need fierce advocates for change and those who can help us maintain stability. We will need innovators who find solutions to our legal problems and who can also see the problems with our legal solutions. And we will need lawyers who can do all of this with dignity and civility.
In short, we are counting on you to assure the health of our social order and our democracy. That's what lawyers do. It is an awesome responsibility but one that we are excited to help you prepare for. The world needs doctors and it needs juris doctors too. Welcome to the beginning of this journey of transformation.

The felons found driving for Uber
A convicted killer is one of thousands of shady drivers who cleared screening processes. Here's how rideshare companies have fought tougher checks. CNN's Drew Griffin reports.
Posted: Jul 12, 2018 3:18 PM
Updated: Jul 12, 2018 3:41 PM
An Uber driver was taken into custody Friday morning after his passenger was shot and killed, Denver police said.
Michael Andre Hancock, 29, was being held in jail for investigation of first-degree murder, a police press release said.
According to a probable cause statement released by police, Denver 911 received a call about 2:45 a.m. from a man on an Interstate 25 on-ramp who said "There was a guy, an Uber driver, who said his ride tried to attack him and the driver shot him."
The man handed the phone to the other man, who identified himself as Hancock, the statement said.
Police arrived and found a male lying on the front seat floorboard of a Nissan sedan with gunshot wounds, the statement said. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead, said Sonny Jackson of the Denver police.
Investigators found 10 spent .40-caliber cartridges on the left shoulder of the interstate and a blood trail near the cartridges that was consistent with where the vehicle came to a stop on the on-ramp, the statement said.
Hancock was handcuffed and police found a Ruger SR 40 pistol in his waistband, the statement said.
Police said, "There is probable cause to believe that Michael Hancock discharged the Ruger pistol, striking (the victim) numerous times causing his death," the statement said.
Hancock had trouble breathing and was taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released. He declined to make a statement to police without a lawyer, police said.
The gunshot victim has not been publicly identified.
The investigation of the shooting caused southbound I-25 to be closed about five hours, CNN affiliate KDRV reported.
Uber issued this statement: "We are deeply troubled by the events in Denver today. Our thoughts are with the families of those involved. The driver's access to the app has been removed, and we will continue working closely with police."
Andrew Hasbun, an Uber spokesman, said Hancock had been driving nearly three years for the ride-sharing company. The incident appears to be associated with an on-app trip, he said.
Uber's website says riders and drivers are prohibited from carrying firearms in a vehicle while using the Uber app, "to the extent permitted by applicable law."
Hasbun said some states have laws that prohibit companies from telling people where they can and cannot carry firearms. However, Uber thinks its weapons policy applies in Colorado, he said.
Last year, the Colorado Public Utilities Commission fined Uber $8.9 million for allowing drivers with "disqualifying" criminal or motor vehicle offenses to drive for the company. Some of them did not have valid licenses and others used fake names, the PUC revealed.
In February, an Uber Eats driver in Atlanta was charged with murder in the death of a customer to whom he'd just delivered food, Atlanta police said.
The driver's lawyer said the driver shot after the customer threatened him and reached into his pocket.

The volumes in this collection cover various figures in, and portions of, the Old Testament. Discover the Gospel in the Joseph story, in the books of Judges, Zechariah, Hosea, and Daniel, in the lives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the Old Testament presentation of Israel's worship, and more.
Christ-centered interpretation of Old Testament figures, stories, and books
Accessible redemptive-historical exegesis from pastor-scholars
Praise for the Print Edition
One of the most urgent needs of the church is to grasp how the many parts of the Bible fit together to make one 'story line' that culminates in Jesus Christ. This series of books goes a long way to meeting that need. Written at a thoughtful but popular level, it deserves wide circulation.
—D. A. Carson, research professor, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
At last a series on the Old Testament designed to provide reliable exposition, biblical theology, and a focus on Christ. These books should be like manna in the desert to pastors, preachers, teachers, and many individual Christians who struggle to come to terms with how to read the Old Testament.

Living in the Light of Inextinguishable Hope: The Gospel According to Joseph
Authors: Iain M. Duguid and Matthew P. Harmon
Series: Gospel according to the Old Testament
Learn how the story of Joseph prefigures the gospel. Duguid and Harmon show that, while Joseph did show exemplary character in the matter of Potiphar's wife and other situations, he was still far from perfect and ultimately is not intended as a moral example for us to follow. Rather, the Joseph story testifies to God's electing grace and shows how he redeems and restores broken and dysfunctional sinners to accomplish his purposes.
The perfect sequel to Iain Duguid's explorations of the gospel according to Abraham and according to Isaac and Jacob. In each chapter Duguid and his pastoral colleague Matt Harmon lead us from the study—with strategic insights into each text's original language, literary artistry, cultural context, and interpersonal dynamics—through the pulpit—with vivid articulation and conscience-searching application to our crooked hearts and broken relationships—to Jesus, whose undeserved suffering on the cross rescues us from destruction, melts our pride, and reconciles the most dysfunctional of families.

Right in Their Own Eyes: The Gospel According to Judges
Author: George M. Schwab
Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4
Right in Their Own Eyes explains Judges from three Old Testament and three New Testament perspectives. First, it shows how the Spirit enabled wayward people to fulfill the mission God gave them, promotes David as king of Israel, and illustrates God's covenant with his people. Schwab then shows how God sovereignly works among his wayward people to forge a community of faith under the New Covenant—realized in Christ—calls modern Christians to faith and obedience, and looks forward to the return of Christ and the final judgment.
George Schwab achieves four goals. First, to be true to the text—to read Judges in its ancient Near Eastern setting, seeing it as a sermon on Deuteronomy and, at times, a possible apologetic for David. Second, to glorify Christ—to read Judges from a biblical-theological perspective, finding that Judges is really all about Christ and his coming kingdom. Third, to lift us up in faith—which happens when we see our sovereign God at work, forging a community of faith from a wayward and idolatrous people. And finally, to call us to change our perspective and take action—why does it matter that faith leads to deliverance? What does a lack of faith in daily life reap in terms of oppression, and how does the message of judges make a difference?
In Right in Their Own Eyes, George Schwab takes readers on a journey into an ancient textual world that is at times jarring to modern sensibilities. He is a fascinating tour guide with an accessible style of delivery who does not avoid the difficult texts, making clear their meaning within their original era of redemptive history before tracing their significance for Christian readers today.

Longing for God in an Age of Discouragement: The Gospel According to Zechariah
Author: Bryan R. Gregory
Many in our churches find themselves in need of renewal yet are discouraged by the church's lack of impact on the world and culture. The book of Zechariah addresses God's people in just this situation—discouraged and in need of renewal. In doing so, it provides a captivating vision of God and his work in the world, leading readers into a deeper longing for God and the coming of his kingdom, which finds its realization in Christ.
Bryan Gregory's Longing for God in an Age of Discouragement makes the biblical message of Zechariah accessible to all, It provides disciplined, yet understandable exegesis of this prophet's message, which is then traced through the broader redemptive drama climaxing in Jesus and intersecting the lives of his followers today. Such interpretation is a timely gift to a church living through challenging times.

Love Divine and Unfailing: The Gospel According to Hosea
Authors: Michael P. V. Barrett
After establishing the historical and theological backdrop for Hosea, Barrett focuses on the connection between Hosea's marriage to Gomer and the Lord's marriage to his people. Though many were deaf to Hosea's preaching, even the dullest could see his grief, sympathize with his sorrow, and wonder at his persistent love. Hosea's marriage was a living sermon: What Hosea did for Gomer, God did for Israel; What Gomer did to Hosea, Israel did to God. In Christ's redemptive work, God's love for his people and justice against their sin are reconciled. Christ is the divine bridegroom and we are his bride, whom he redeems from the filth of sin and restores to himself by incomprehensible love.
Love Divine is a clear, honest, panoramic treatment of the book of Hosea, poignantly showing how Hosea and Gomer's treatment of each other reflected God and Israel's treatment of each other. Dr. Barrett excels in unfolding his views logically on solid exegetical, hermeneutical, and theological grounds. The book is compelling in its Christ-centeredness and is a masterpiece in expounding God's loving and gracious covenant in its internal and external dimensions. Love Divine is also true to the personal experience of covenantal grace in the lives of believers. All of this makes it a sheer delight to read. Every pastor should study Love Divine before preaching from the book of Hosea, and every Christian will find it enlightening and God-glorifying.

From Famine to Fullness: The Gospel According to Ruth
Author: Dean R. Ulrich
Whether they are thrilled by the love story of Ruth and Boaz or encouraged by a happy ending for Naomi, many people are drawn to the book of Ruth. But though the story is indeed charming, Ruth is included in Scripture for more than our entertainment. Ruth's message is theological, rooted in God's oversight of the movement of redemptive history that climaxes in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
This lively book with rich Gospel content is written in a lucid style that communicates easily to pastors and laity alike. It explains how the story of Ruth is part and parcel of the redemptive history that extends from Genesis to Revelation: The good news that God has provided our Kinsmen-Redeemer, Jesus Christ, who grants us the forgiveness of sins and the inheritance of resurrection to everlasting life. God worked through ordinary Old Testament believers in distressing situations to bring about redemption for a Moabite who became an ancestress to Christ. Our time of suffering too are opportunities for God to strengthen our faith and work through us to bring salvation to others.

Ulrich (PhD, Westminster Theological Seminary) has been pastor of a PCA church in the Pittsburgh area and associate professor of Old Testament at Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry in Ambridge, Pennsylvania.

After God's Own Heart: The Gospel According to David
Authors: Mark J. Boda
With lucid insights on every page, After God's Own Heart examines the life of David, showing how the Old Testament king relates to anointing, covenant, the temple, and sin. Ultimately, however, the author shows how David pictures the Messiah to come. This volume in the Gospel According to the Old Testament series includes questions for individual or group study.
After God's Own Heart is an excellent contribution to an important series on the biblical theology of the Old Testament. As Mark Boda shows in this useful and accessible book, the house of David is central to the Bible's message of salvation. Using a thematic approach that is well informed by careful scholarship, Boda explores David's many connections to Christ and to the church as the covenant community of David's Son.

Crying Out for Vindication: The Gospel According to Job
Author: David Jackson
Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7
With gripping interpretation and excellent anecdotes, this book links Job's experience with the gospel, showing that his hope was the same as ours today. In Jesus, our questions and confusions are resolved, our faith vindicated, and our suffering redeemed.
Why do the innocent suffer? Drawing upon his years of pastoral ministry, David Jackson takes us on an interesting journey where we experience, along with Job, "the depth of God's grace to us in Christ—who, by his own choice, suffered more than Job to save us from the cruelty and domination of sin." This book is a 'must read' for anyone going through difficult times.

Hope in the Midst of a Hostile World: The Gospel According to Daniel
Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
Like Daniel and the Israelite exiles in Babylon, we too are strangers and exiles in this world. We too are waiting for the coming of the Son of Man, who has received the kingdom from the Ancient of Days, to establish his kingdom on earth. Schwab demonstrates how believers living among unbelievers, and as citizens of countries with increasingly hostile governments, have opportunity to reveal God-inspired wisdom and discover hope as they look to Christ.
God reveals the future to affect the present. Prophecy glorifies the One in control, inspires believers' confidence, intensifies hope for God's will to be done, and moves people to repentance and holiness. This study of the book of Daniel highlights these essential aspects of prophecy. Given the mysterious symbolism throughout Daniel, not every reader will agree with Schwab's interpretation of this or that detail. But his focus is clear: God's absolute control and unrelenting resolve to accomplish his redemptive purpose in Christ should give God's people in every age 'hope in the midst of a hostile world.'
—Michael P. V. Barrett, president, Geneva Reformed Seminary
Salvation through Judgment and Mercy: The Gospel According to Jonah
Author: Bryan D. Estelle
Though simple enough for a child to grasp, the book of Jonah is an extremely subtle and complex work full of wonderful literary artistry mixed with many layers of meaning. This study presents the book of Jonah as part of the unfolding, unified story of redemption pointing to Christ. Pastors, seminarians, and thoughtful readers interested in how the Old Testament points toward Christ will appreciate this new study of Jonah.
Bryan Estelle combines biblical-theological, historical, and literary insights to illuminate the message of Jonah. He shows us Christ in each movement of the story and guides us to respond in faith and obedience.
—Mark Futato, Robert L. Maclellan Professor of Old Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando
In this section-by-section reading of Jonah, Estelle offers a valuable blend of insights into the ancient Near Eastern setting of the book, interaction with its literary and theological subtleties, and relevant contemporary insights. Above all, he presents Christocentric reflections throughout, guiding the reader to see 'the One who is greater than Jonah.'
—Michael Kelly, assistant professor of Old Testament, Westminster Theological Seminary
With a sharp eye to the intricate literary workings and multifaceted theological meanings of the book of Jonah, Estell achieves a fine balance between textual exposition and contemporary application. Careful to avoid allegorization and resistant to the claim that finding Christ in the book constitutes a Christian 'colonization' of the Old Testament, Estelle offers a well-reasoned and circumspect Christological reading of Jonah.

Living in the Grip of Relentless Grace: The Gospel in the Lives of Isaac and Jacob
Author: Iain M. Duguid
"Our God delights in writing straight with a crooked pencil," says Iain Duguid. The lives of Isaac and Jacob are vivid examples of that principle. Time and again God displays his grace and glory by overcoming their weakness and sinfulness. In this latest addition to the Gospel according to the Old Testament series, we see once more how the message of Scripture converges on Jesus. Readers can take encouragement in the midst of their own shortcomings that the gospel triumphs not through human might or goodness but through God's relentless grace.
Iain Duguid is both a first-class scholar and a gifted preacher. This book is theologically astute, Christ-centered, and extremely practical. A tremendous resource.

Immanuel in Our Place: Seeing Christ in Israel's Worship
Author: Tremper Longman III
This book provides fascinating insights into the Old Testament tabernacle and temple, the priesthood, the sacrifices, and festivals. More than that, it shows how Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament sacred space, sacred acts, sacred persons, and sacred time. An aid to pastors, teachers, and laymen in teaching and reading the Old Testament, this work will enrich our understanding of Christ and deepen our worship.
Old Testament conceptions of worship must be understood in light of how the death and resurrection of Christ bring these conceptions to a heightened sense of clarity and fulfillment. Longman creatively and clearly brings together the Old Testament data within such a biblical theological grid. His insights will be of immediate relevance for Christians concerned about the nature of worship not only in the Old Testament but also today.
—Peter Enns, professor of Old Testament, Eastern University
Christians struggle in understanding the relevance of large parts of the Old Testament. This is particularly true of matters concerning the worship of ancient Israel. In this beautifully conceived work, Longman has illuminated the priestly material of the Old Testament in a way that makes it theologically relevant for today. I heartily recommend this work.

Faith in the Face of Apostasy: The Gospel According to Elijah and Elisha
Author: Raymond B. Dillard
In this helpful volume, Raymond B. Dillard explains the stories of Elijah and Elisha in the context of redemptive history. As prophets of God, Elijah and Elisha sought to restore God's covenant with his wayward people. They pointed forward to a better prophet to come who would satisfy the terms of the covenant despite Israel's covenant breaking. In the power and spirit of Elijah, John the Baptist came to prepare the way of the better prophet, Jesus Christ, who alone can restore God's people in the better New Covenant through his life, death, and resurrection. Written for laypeople, study groups, and pastors, this study of the lives of Elijah and Elisha shows how the Old Testament accounts direct us to faith in Christ today.
The Old Testament stories of Elijah and Elisha are as fascinating as they are puzzling, and Christian readers will be delighted to find in this book just the help they need. Few writers combine scholarly expertise and theological good judgment as the late Ray Dillard did . . . highly recommended for anyone who wishes to understand Old Testament narrative.

Raymond B. Dillard (MDiv, Westminster Theological Seminary; PhD, Dropsie University) was professor of Old Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary until his death in 1993. He was the author of 2 Chronicles in the Word Biblical Commentary Series, and, with Tremper Longman III, An Introduction to the Old Testament.
Living in the Gap between Promise and Reality: The Gospel According to Abraham
Authors: Iain M. Duguid
In this insightful volume, Duguid pulls the reader into the dramatic unfolding of the story of Abraham as a significant stage in the larger story of salvation. Written for lay-people, study groups, and pastors, this lively survey of Abraham's faith (and failures) shows us how the Old Testament patriarch foreshadows the perfect saving work of Christ. The story of Abraham was not intended merely as a moral example for us to follow. In fact Abraham often demonstrated a wavering moral character. More fundamentally, Abraham is an example of sinners saved through faith by God's demerited grace. When entering into a covenantal relationship with Abraham and his household, God passed alone through the animal carcasses showing that his relationship with Abraham was not dependent on Abraham's performance, but was received by grace alone through faith alone. In this way, the story of Abraham culminates in the work of Jesus in which he took the curses of the covenant upon himself and secured covenantal union between God and his people by grace alone, through faith alone.
Jesus explained that all the Scriptures that had preceded him were about him. This means that if we preach or teach on any passage of the Old Testament and do not speak of him, we fail to mention the very thing that Jesus said the passage is about . . . I am grateful for this immensely accessible book . . . which closes the gap between Christ's redemptive work and the life of Abraham.
—Bryan Chapell, distinguished professor of preaching, Knox Theological Seminary

Archbishop Gomez reminds conference of Dorothy Day's treasured legacy
Dorothy Day (CNS/courtesy Milwaukee Journal)
Vince LaBarbera
Fort Wayne, Ind. — May 20, 2015
Saying it was for the church to decide whether Dorothy Day was a saint, Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez told a conference on the co-founder of the Catholic Worker Movement that she left a rich legacy for people to follow.
"I don't know if she is a saint ... but I do know she makes me want to be a saint. She makes us want to be better. She makes us want to be holy," Gomez said in remarks to the conference May 14.
Day has been named a servant of God by the church and the diocesan phase of the canonization process has been underway in the New York archdiocese since 2000.
The archbishop discussed the remarkable life and achievements of Day and her impact on the 20th century after she and Peter Maurin opened the Catholic Worker in a storefront in New York's Bowery in the midst of the Great Depression in 1933.
"She walked with the great saints of the church, like Francis of Assisi, John of the Cross, Catherine of Siena and many others," Gomez said, noting he was not authority on Day. "These were her constant companions. She once said she spent her days in conversation with Jesus and the saints of the church."
"I want to think and live like a saint," he said. "I believe that what she has left us is a saint's vision of our times and our society."
The archbishop's address was part of a three-day conference, "Dorothy Day and the Church: Past, Present and Future" and was one of several events marking the 125th anniversary of the University of St. Francis in Fort Wayne. The May 13-15 conference was co-sponsored by Our Sunday Visitor.
Day, a journalist, social activist and devout Catholic convert, became known for her social justice campaigns in defense of poor, hungry, homeless and marginalized people. The Catholic Worker Movement continues to combine direct aid for the poor and homeless with nonviolent direct action on their behalf. She served as editor of The Catholic Worker newspaper from 1933 until her death in 1980 at age 83.
Gomez said the journal of Day's life reads like a saint. Her reason for writing was to bring news to others of an inner war. In her newspaper articles and speeches she was writing the spiritual diary of the 20th century.
"Her conversion story is the story of a soul," the archbishop said. "It was Dorothy's experience of love and goodness that brought her to conversion. ... In the glory of childbirth, she came to see that God made us in His image. ... She wanted to show us ... the consequences of trying to live without God."
Gomez asked, "How do we continue to live as Christians in a society that has no room for Christ and for God? How do we live, work and raise our families? How do we carry out our mission?
"Dorothy Day gives us a powerful vision of how to live in a secularized society," he said.
Relating her life to today's world, Gomez suggested that "the greatest danger of our age, I believe, is secularism."
The early 21st century is a time when men and women must be messengers and disciples and practice heroic charity, he explained.
In order to live in this society, "the secularized society which we are, we need to strive to live in a close relationship with Jesus Christ," Gomez said.
The archbishop recalled a recent annual youth conference held in the Los Angeles archdiocese, where 16,000 young people attended separate Masses in two large groups. The theme of the liturgy was a rap song titled, "Talk Jesus With Me." He said the catchy phrase obviously involves talking to Jesus and Jesus talking back.
He pointed to Day's belief that all people are called by Jesus to care for those living on society's margins. He quoted Day, saying she believed there is always room for more saints.
"God expects something from each one of us that no one else can do," Gomez said. "Keep following Jesus. 'Talk Jesus With Me!' "
"I don't know if Dorothy Day is a saint," the archbishop repeated. "That's for the church to decide. But she left us a beautiful legacy."

Seoul (Korea) – Experts from ten Asian countries lead the Economy of Tomorrow (EoT) regional project to the next phase. Amidst changing political coalitions worldwide, Friedrich-Ebert-stiftung in Asia is on a quest for new transformation strategies towards building an economy of tomorrow.
The Brexit vote has been sending shock-waves around the world. All over Europe, right wing populists stir the rage and resentment of those who globalization left behind. With Donald Trump as presidential candidate, a protectionist has the chance of becoming the leader of the United States. No matter the racist vitriol and nationalistic hyperbole, right-wing populists' message that globalization has not worked for the working and middle classes is resonating in Europe's and America's rustbelts. The debate about the failed promise that the free movement of goods, people and ideas will benefit all has reached the core of the liberal world order. At the same time, the digital revolution is unsettling entire industries. Artificial Intelligence, robots, smart grids and 3D printers will revolutionize the way we live, work, and commute.
How, then, will these trends affect the emerging economies of Asia?
The global window of opportunity for export-led growth seems to be closing. Changing political coalitions globally no longer allow to take for granted that OECD markets will stay open for Asian exports. Asian population giants like China and India have already begun to reorient their development models towards their domestic markets. Can this new orientation work, given the political economy of development? What options are there for the emerging economies who do not have a big enough domestic market?
Furthermore, digital automation is eroding the comparative advantage of cheap labour. Other factors like quality, supply chains, or local governance become more prominent. Already, we are witnessing the return of industries to the old industrial countries. Will this trend accelerate? And will it accentuate the risk of premature deindustrialization? How can emerging economies react to this challenge?
Lastly, digital automation may lead to jobless growth. Even if investment and growth rates stay high, the factories and workshops of tomorrow may be populated with robots. What does that mean for the manufacturing-led development model which was so successfully applied in East Asia, and is now being tested in South Asia? How can countries with rapidly growing populations create enough jobs for the aspiring youth entering the labour markets? What will be the impact on the political economy of development if these aspirations cannot be met?
Participants from ten countries in Asia addressed these questions at an October experts' round held in Seoul as part of the Economy of Tomorrow project. Bringing along analysis from Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, participants deliberated points of relevance for countries in Asia to reformulate the focus for the next phase of the EoT project.
Digital and urban transformation are two concrete working lines for future activities of the EoT project in Asia Digital and urban transformation are two concrete working lines for future activities of the EoT project. Identifying the societal coalitions that can shape this transformation is part and parcel of the new project focus. To better prepare for the massive challenges of transforming societies as well as disruptive economic and ecological changes participants got introduced to two new methods, Political Discourse Framing and Transformative Change Making.
"We learned how to frame possibilities of the future differently, a narrative of how change can be brought about and how to form catalytic projects around which social groups can rally and cooperate to bring about change" explained Marc Saxer, Director of FES India Office introducing Transformative Change Making.

It is Sunday tomorrow and I'll be watching what every pinoy will be watching this weekend – the Pinoy Power 3 or internationally known as Latin Fury 13, brought by Top Rank Promotions. Of course, I will watch it on ABS-CBN at 10:30 A.M., I think there will be no other channel in the country that will cover it. I don't know if Solar Sports will be featuring the fight.
I like to watch Gerry Penalosa fighting against a big guy – Eric Morel. I saw them both on TV last night and Montiel got really a height and reach advantage. I hope that Gerry will survive this challenge. Aside from him, I am also eager to watch Ciso Morales on his debut fight for a title against the reigning bantamweight champion Fernando Montiel. I think he can make the pinoy proud.
If you want to watch Pinoy Power 3 / Latin Fury 13 online, I have several links that I found on the web that offers free online streaming. I will list all the links here on or before the fight begins so come back here on February 14, 10:30 A.M. GMT+8 / Philippine time.
