Cells At Work Is T3RRIFYING! (or, why it's so fun to watch) - Duration: 4:38.
So, Cells At Work is an anime series produced by David Productions, based on the manga of
the same name by Akane Shimizu, that follows the working lives of various cells within
the human body and all the biology based shenanigans they deal with on a daily basis.
But don't be fooled by it's cutesy appearance, as this show is terrifying . . .
ly good!
Also, it's just terrifying.
Or at least, some of the characters are.
The show's cast are all based on different types of, you guessed it, cells and their
specific functions within the body, from the White Blood Cells who diligently dart from
place to place and just, f&%$ing massacre all the bacteria and viruses that threaten
their home's health, to the Red Blood Cells who navigate its confusing network of veins
and arteries to deliver oxygen and nutrients to other cells all over the body, to the adorable
little platelets who are just doing their best to fix some scrape wounds.
And I mean look at 'em, they're so cute!
This one got all shy and is hiding behind his hat! D'aaaw!
Okay I'm getting off topic here.
While it's easy to argue that they're all one note, the sheer variety of characters
keeps it fresh as it explores the lives of all these different cells, as we see in Episode
3 when the show switches focus from the directionally challenged struggles of a Red Blood Cell to
the journey of an insecure Naive T Cell finding the strength to become a badass bacteria basher
like his fellow Killer Ts.
At least, for a while, anyway.
Though there is potential for their respective quirks to get old fast, the show builds a
cast of memorable and distinct characters whose variety and interactions make for some
good laughs as it delves heavily into the absurdity of the situations they're thrown into.
And I think that's part of what makes its "terrifying" nature, specifically the concerningly earnest
bloodlust of some of its characters, work so well.
The show contrasts all this intense violence and brutality against a happy go lucky atmosphere
and pleasant aesthetic that makes it seem all the more ridiculous.
It's aware of how weird it is and is more than happy to play with that, whether it be
playing off the gimmicks of its premise provides or poking fun at the tropes of its own medium.
For example, there's a moment in the first episode where the main White Blood Cell points
out that his knife is useless against . . . uh . . . this germ's shield, something that
seems like typical exposition for an anime series, where infodumping is a relatively
common practice, and could have easily been said without consequence, as it is in most
series, except that here, the germ hears him and takes advantage of this new information.
Also, did I mention this is made by the same company doing Jojo's Bizarre Adventure?
It's kinda subtle so you might've missed it.
The show leans into its own ridiculousness in such a way that makes its comedy and drama
hit harder.
And it does all this while being surprisingly informative.
Sure it's not the most accurate depiction of human biology, but it still manages to
communicate a lot of the ideas of how all these different cells work and interact with
our bodies pretty effectively.
Who says education couldn't be fun!
NERD!
HEY!
. . . don't, say it out loud, man, come on
And I have to say, I have little to complain about.
Of course, given that it's only three episodes in, it's likely that more problems will
become apparent, or the ones I do have will be exacerbated, but so far it's been a lot
of fun.
The only thing I can really hold against it is that for me, some of the designs are boring.
Sure, I quite like some of them, especially that of the Red Blood Cells, from their vibrant
uniforms to their red berets, whose shape is reminiscent of actual blood cells.
But there are others, especially the ones for the bacteria and viruses, that just feel
kinda bland, but maybe that's just me.
Cells At Work, while acting as yet another example of anime's obsession with anthropomorphization
gone mad, is a pretty terrific experience.
It's an informative and entertaining series with a wide cast of distinct characters whose
self aware antics and over the top absurdity adds to its comedy and drama.
It's a show that's having fun with what it has, and for me, that's what makes it
so fun to watch.
And yeah, those are my thoughts.
And, hey, I'm back to the old format!
Long story short, its kinda the same situation as with the Storyteller's Notebook; I wanted
to experiment, found some things I liked, a lot of things I didn't, tryna mix the
best of both worlds.
As well, I've been thinking about tryna go back to making weekly videos that alternate
between these quickie reviews/first impressions and proper video essays, but that all depends
on whether or not I can balance making 2 videos at once, but I'll do my best.
Anyway, let me know what yous think, if yous agree, disagree, who your favourite cell is,
if you're amazed by the things people have managed to make shows about, etc, and thanks
for watching!
If yous enjoyed this and wanna see more, than be sure to check out my last video, where
I talk about the ending of Darling in the FranXX and why, for me, it fell apart.
Or, check out my video on Megalo Box and why it's so fun to watch!
And don't forget to like, comment, share and of course, subscribe, to Come Fly With Me!
Yous can also follow me on Twitter for more updates about this channel and other stuff
and hopefully, I'll see yous later!

Menopause and contraception - do you really need it? - Duration: 10:48.
Hi and welcome to my VLOG. So this week is a short and sweet VLOG but the
contents are really really important. And the reason I'm doing it is because it's
a question I get asked all of the time, on both the radio show and in the Latte
Lounge, where I'm the resident GP. So the question is.. menopause or perimenopause
and contraception - what's needed and what do you do? So here we go.First of all
I think some definitions will really help. So what is perimenopause? So
perimenopause can start 10 years before you actually go through menopause and
have your very last period. So menopause itself is when your periods stop
completely, but perimenopause is the 10 years leading up to that.
So on average in the UK women go through menopause when
they're 51. So that's when their periods stop completely, forever. This means you
can be perimenopausal for your entire forties, so it's a long time. For
some women, they have periods into their late fifties. So even though the average is
51, it varies dramatically. And it tends to be quite genetic; so when your mum
went through menopause and your sisters. So fertility, when you need contraception
to stop getting pregnant, actually declines after about the age of 37, and
definitely after the age of 40. But, and this is a massive but, even though
potential declines and even if your periods become irregular (so you don't
have one every month) as long as you're having a period from time to time
you are still potentially fertile! And you still can get pregnant and it does
happen. So most women are considered to no longer be fertile after the age of 55.
So what do we do between the ages of 40 and 55 if we don't want to get pregnant?
So that's what I'm going to cover today. So when can you stop using contraception?
That's the question I get asked as a doctor much of the time. Well if you're
using a non hormonal contraception such as condoms or diaphragm
you can reliably stop using contraception two years after your very
last period (so no periods at all for two years) if you're under 50 and if you're
over 50 you can stop one year after your periods have stopped completely.
However if you're already using hormonal methods; so the combined pill or the mini pill,
then it's not so clear and it's difficult to tell, almost impossible, when
this point has been reached, because they interfere with your periods. On the mini
pill you may have no periods or irregular periods. And on the combined pill
you'll have monthly periods but you don't know if they're real periods or just
induced by the hormones. An isolated blood test for follicle stimulating
hormone (which is the one that we use to indicate whether or not you're going
through perimenopause or menopause) are not reliable. They just aren't, they can
vary dramatically. So one month normal and the next month could look like
you're menopausal. And if you're on the combined pill they're not reliable at
all. So you can still get pregnant if you've had a blood test that suggests
that you're menopausal and if you are having periods, however irregularly.
And then it becomes even more complicated....what if you're on HRT?
and some women are of course on HRT and the mini pill, and there's a reason for that.
So HRT in any format (tablet, patch, gels) contains very low doses of hormones and
those doses are not high enough to act like a pill, even though logically it
might seem like that's what they should be doing they're not! You can still get
pregnant taking HRT; it is not a contraceptive. And believe me women in
their early 50s, on HRT who think they're protected do get pregnant.
And if you don't want to be pregnant at that age, obviously that can
be devastating. So if you're on HRT and you've been on it for a period of time
so you don't know whether or not your periods have stopped for long enough to
make you infertile as it were, you can use all of the normal methods:
barrier, mini pill, intrauterine devices or systems as well as HRT. You
just use them alongside. So just to break that down a little bit better, I'm going
to go into the details over that because this is what people want to know...
what do they do? So the first approach is that whether perimenopausal or
not, over 40 you still need contraception. And for you the choice is personal. How
effective is the choice? What are the risks and the side effects? What's your
personal preference, which always has to come into account. And are you on HRT or
not? And then you start thinking about the choices. So let's assume you're on
HRT, (because that's what this VLOG is about) and you use barrier methods; so if
you're quite happy using condoms or a diaphragm alongside your HRT no other
methods are needed. You're protected if it's a condom, against sexually
transmitted infections and sexually transmitted infections have gone up
amongst women who are over 50 because we're seeing marriage break
downs and new partnerships and people are having sex with people other than
their partner, in times when they wouldn't have done that previously because
society was different. So barrier methods give you that protection as well. Although
they need some planning so again you have to decide what works for you.
The mini pill is probably the choice that most women use when they're on HRT,
because it's safe to take up to the age of 55, when you're considered no longer
fertile. And you can safely add it to your HRT and it's just one tablet a day
so that's probably one of the most popular choices. The copper coil; so the
copper coil will protect you against pregnancy for sure. You don't have to
think about it, there's no planning involved and it can stay in place for up
to 10 years. There's no additional hormones being added to your HRT so it's
quite a nice method to use. However it does not supply you with the
progesterone of other coil systems that can be used as part of HRT.
So if you have the copper coil you will still need an HRT that has both progesterone
and oestrogen in it. However the Mirena coil or IUS does provide you with the
progesterone that you need for HRT. So if you have the Mirena coil all you need to
have as part of your HRT is the oestrogen; as a gel, patch or tablet. And that actually
makes it quite simple for some women. They don't have to think about
contraception, they have the progesterone element covered and it works really well
for many women. So that's another alternative and it's licensed for four
years as the progesterone side of HRT but you can actually leave it in for 5.
So quite often you won't need that changed if you have it put in at 50, you can go through to 55 and be safe
against pregnancy and have that part of your HRT covered off. So that's quite
nice for women who don't like to take progesterone because of side effects. And
the nice thing about that as well is that if you start it younger, so if
you're in your forties when you start needing HRT, you can actually just have
it changed every five years and it's literally a take out and put back. And
it keeps you covered for your HRT so the IUS or Mirena coil is another
really good choice that some women prefer. So I'd say the two most common
types of contraception that women use alongside their HRT are the
mini pill, which goes on top of HRT, or the Mirena (IUS) coil which actually acts as
the progesterone part of your HRT. So it's reasonably simple even though it quite
often doesn't appear that way. And to summarise the whole affect; fertility
definitely does decline over the age of 40 and you are much less likely to get
pregnant in that age range but women do, all of the time! And whilst you're still
having periods of any type, any regularity, there is a chance that you
might just throw out one good egg and that's all it needs, (obviously to meet one
good sperm) and you could get pregnant! You do need therefore practical safe
contraception to cover you for this period if you don't want to be pregnant (and some women do).
You need contraception until you've been without a period for two years if you're under 50 or for one year if
you're over 50. But if you are taking hormonal contraception in that period
it's very difficult to tell when you've hit that point, so the safest assumption,
and the one recommended by the BMS, is that you are still fertile until the age
of 55. So add contraception to your HRT. And as I've said HRT is not a
contraception on its own. And you can still get pregnant on it if you haven't
added other contraception. And if your periods were not, as I've said, finished
for two years or one year depending on whether you're over or under 50 when you
start HRT, then you definitely need some contraception. so hopefully that's a very
complex subject that people really struggle with covered in a very simple
way for you today. And I hope you enjoyed it. Please do ask me any questions after
the VLOG, I'm more than happy to answer them or in the Latte Lounge or the
Menopause support network - all of those places where I operate as a doctor giving
my advice, and I'm more than happy to answer. But hopefully that's given you
the basis; So HRT is not a contraception. You do need to add something to it and
the choices I've covered for you. Thanks for listening as always, it's been a
pleasure, it's always a pleasure. And let me know if there's any topics that you
want me to cover. Take care, bye for now.

PENANG to KUALA LUMPUR by Train | IS IT GOOD? - Duration: 5:49.
I had a great time in Penang
All the food and sights were so much fun
I wanna do it again
How I wish I stayed longer
And I know I wanna come back here soon
I'm taking the first train from
Butterworth
to Kuala Lumpur
The wake up time?
4:00 in the morning
Was I sleepy?
There is a ferry from Georgetown to Butterworth
But the first sailing is too close to my train schedule
So I got on a car to cross the Penang Bridge to the mainland
It took me around 20 minutes from Georgetown to Butterworth Station
We're here
Thank you sir
Butterworth Station is well-lit and clean
It's a fairly small train station so getting into the trains were quite easy and
straightforward
Good morning everyone!
it's almost 6:00 a.m.
5:54 and and 31 seconds to be exact
I'm taking the earliest train
from Penang to Kuala Lumpur
Well... this is Butterworth Station
I hardly got any sleep
so I think I'll be sleeping
four hours of the journey
Here it is.. Coach A!
Super cold!
I have read online the trains in Malaysia are very cold
and I did find his train chilly
maybe around 20 degrees Celsius
now I am settling my stuff
before the others arrive
below every two seats is an electric socket
which I'll show you later in the video
I brought an extension cord with me
so I can charge my devices
on the way to Kuala Lumpur
The coach is built with monitors
showing train information in English and Malay
the seats are fairly comfortable
but you cannot recline them
The train has started to move
so I'm getting back to my seat
The others are now sleeping
so I guess I should too
headphones to protect me from the noise
and Ray-bans to look cool while I sleep
A few hours later, I was awakened by
an announcement at one of the stops
I was still sleepy though
now it's time to explore this train
Touch button doors?
So fancy!
The train is still very cold
see that guy in a hoodie?
Let's start exploring
I was trying to check the train toilet
but it's still in use
I'll go back for it later
On to the other side!
Walking around is not as easy
the train is quite shaky
but I want to see what the rest of the train looks like
Just GO John!
I found a place to buy food!
but the staff is sleeping and I'm not that hungry
so I will pass this one up
the noise from the train is so loud
I have to voiceover what I said in there
and there is a coach for
microwaveable meals
or...
hot drinks
over here
I think that small room over there
is for praying
for Muslims
Walking around the train is not as easy
if both of your hands are not free
very cautiously I continued walking
I found some vacant seats
now I can show you the electric sockets
just lift this latch open
and there you GO
the toilet is very popular
still in use
and one more guy in queue
It's finally vacant
Hmmm... nothing too fancy
but it's a fairly decent one compared to some trains
I have been on
you have a sink, toilet, window, and a mirror
okay somebody wants to use it now
told you it's shaky
this reminded me the
importance of bringing a hand sanitizer
okay careful now
I think there's about like
5 or 6 cars in this train
it's quite comfortable to sit
the temperature is quite cold if you
always feel cold you'll have to wear a jacket
there is still about 20 minutes more
to the journey and I'm quite sleepy
next station, Kuala Lumpur
if you will approach your destination station
kindly ensure that none of your belongings
are left on board
this is not my stop
this station is Kuala Lumpur
but I am going to Sentral Kuala Lumpur
it can be quite confusing so double-check your destination
it was a very nice ride
but four hours can be too long
so a good nap would be helpful
Sentral KL station is very busy but I
can't wait to see KL
I will be touring Petaling Street
to sample food and buy trinkets
so be sure to SUBSCRIBE
and stay tuned
I need to take the taxi lah
need to take the taxi to get to the hotel
get to the hotel leave my things and go to
Petaling Street
NU Sentral!
okay that's it everyone Happy Merdeka!

Dr. Youssef: Fake news.
Have you heard of it?
Yeah, it's the buzz word now.
But it has the potential of a global disaster.
The proliferation of the social media,
of course, has something to do with that.
In fact, I'm told that about 76% of adults in America
get their news from the social media.
Yet, the tragedy of all tragedies
is that these fake news, these false news,
are now preached from many a pulpit across America.
No, I'm not talking about political news,
and I'm not talking about social news.
I'm not talking about military news.
I am talking about the good news of the gospel,
the truth of God's Word.
The news of the gospel has been so falsified by many a church,
the inerrancy of the Word of God is now mocked
in many an evangelical churches
and replaced by a popular message.
It was my friend, the late Dr. Adrian Rogers,
who once said, "It is better
to be hated for telling the truth
than loved by telling a lie.
It is better to stand alone with the truth
than be wrong with the multitudes."
I want to say, "'Amen' belongs here."
And, beloved, that's precisely what Peter is telling us
here in this passage today as we come
in the third in the series of messages,
"It's Never Too Late," from the 2nd Epistle of Peter.
I already told you this is the forgotten Epistle.
Very few people preach from it, let--or quote it.
And so I want you to turn with me, please, to Peter,
2 Peter, chapter 1, verses 12 to 21,
as Peter begins to sense in his spirit
that his time for departing this life is drawing near.
He begins to share the biggest burden of his heart,
and the biggest burden of his heart
for the church of Jesus Christ,
not that the church be financially well endowed,
not the church of Jesus Christ
be merely socially accepted in society
or that the church members are popular
or that the church members are accommodating well
to the pressure of the secular humanism
or that the church members are happy.
But that the church of Jesus Christ
and the church members are armed with the truth.
That the church members are not being misled
by fake gospels, by fake news,
and that the church members are not taken in
by these falsehoods,
that the church members do not fall victims
of this false biblical interpretation,
that the church members
do not believe this popular lies.
And so in verse 12 all the way to 15,
Peter is saying that as long as he has breath,
as long as he's living in this body
which he calls a tent,
he will never tire from proclaiming the truth,
that he will not get bored or be dissuaded
from repeating the truth, why?
Because, as a Jew who knew his Old Testament only too well,
he knows what a fickle memory his people have,
and so in verse 12, he said,
"I will not cease to repeatedly remind you of the truth."
Verse 13: "As long as I'm in this tent,"
which the Bible talks about the body.
In fact, the apostle Paul talks about the tent.
And when Jesus said,
"You'll have a mansion in the sky,"
we think that we're gonna get a big palace.
But what the Bible does in the Semitic language
is that he compares this body,
and he calls it a tent because a tent will fold.
Every one of us, our tent will fold one day.
But then Jesus prepared for his own children
a spiritual body that is awaiting them,
and in comparison, that spiritual body
is a mansion in comparison to this tent
because it will be a body without any limitation.
So he said, "As long as I'm in this tent,
I'm gonna stir you up."
Verses 14 and 15,
Peter is only too aware of the brevity of life
that he is only too aware the time is coming to an end.
For every one of us, my beloved friends,
that day is coming.
And no matter how much we think that it will never come to us,
it's gonna come to every one of us
when we'll dispose with this body,
when we will dispose with this tent,
when this tent will fold and our souls will be clothed
as in 1 Corinthians chapter 15
Paul says, "Be clothed with that spiritual body,
a body like Jesus's body after the Resurrection."
Let everyone ask yourself the question,
"What will I say on the day when I'm gonna have
an audience of one with him?"
Let that question haunt you.
Never let it depart from your mind
and from your thoughts.
For some, and I don't know, maybe watching around the world,
maybe even sitting in this beautiful sanctuary;
for some, you need to ask yourself the question:
where will I spend eternity?
Where will I spend eternity?
Will I hear from the lips of Jesus,
"Well done, good and faithful servant"?
Or will I hear, "What have you done?"
In verses 16 to 21,
Peter explains why he is so patient about constantly
and repeatedly unfolding the truth of the gospel.
He is unfolding it without compromise,
without watering it down,
without make it popular to the masses,
without accommodating
to the pressure of a perverted culture,
without trading the truth for personal popularity.
No, verse 16, he said, "For we did not follow
cleverly invented stories
when we told you about the power and the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Hear me right, it is very popular
in many evangelical churches today
and I'm not talking about--you know.
I'm talking about evangelical churches that say
that you do not have to believe in the virgin birth,
you do not have to believe in Noah and the flood,
you don't have to believe
in Jonah being in the belly of the whale,
you don't have to believe this
and you don't have to believe that.
And so they pick and choose like a smorgasbord.
Why would Jesus liken his death
to that of Jonah being
in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights?
He said, "As Jonah."
Why would he say that the last days,
our last days, are gonna be like unto the days of Noah,
"where they marry and given in marriage
and there's living for self and self-indulgence."
Why would he do that?
Here is the truth. Listen carefully.
Peter said that, "We were eyewitnesses of these truths."
You have to ask yourself the question: why?
Why is Peter making an issue of all this?
Why?
Why is he making an issue of this?
Because in his day, as in our days,
there were false preachers who are preaching fake news.
Furthermore, history tells us that Peter himself
when they were gonna crucify him,
he asked specifically not to be crucified like his master,
but rather be crucified upside down.
Let me tell you something,
nobody would be crucified upside down
for a tale or for a fable or for fake news.
Now, these fables fill other religions.
I know it. I've read it.
It is there in their books.
And yet, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of people
who watched firsthand
and experienced the resurrected Jesus.
His resurrection was not done in secret.
It was revealed 500 people in one day.
But tales belong to other religions.
Jesus himself said, "I did nothing in secret."
Hear me right, please.
The way Satan operates,
even in many a church today, is this.
He will bring doubt to the truth.
And in a sense, he's basically saying,
"This truth is a lie."
And once you think the truth is a lie,
and we're seeing it before our very eyes right now.
We're seeing it with our own eyes.
What happens after a while, people become confused,
and when they become confused,
they're gonna throw their hands up in the air and say,
"We don't know what the truth is anymore."
And Peter's saying, "Listen to me
because I can never forget that he looked at me
and he said, 'Peter, feed my sheep.'"
And that is why I'm feeding you
on the power of the Word of God.
I'm not giving you dogs and cat food
that the false teachers are giving you,
and not even fake news that mislead you.
The reason I will not give up warning you
and pleading with you and entreating you
is because I promised him that I will feed you
on the infallible, inerrant Word of God.
Look at verse 19.
Peter's saying to us
and to everyone who would listen,
the Word of God is a light.
It's a light.
Don't choose to follow fake news.
It can only take you to darkness.
Its word is light.
It shines the light of Christ into your hearts
and that is why Peter is warning us
against snuffing the light of the Word of God
and eating the worms.
He is warning us against eating the spiritual worms
that can only, only, only damage our hearts and minds.
Instead of seeing, instead of doing this,
he is saying when the Holy Spirit sees
in any of us a genuine desire,
a genuine desire of wanting the light of Christ
and the light of the Word of God to shine in us,
he comes, the Holy Spirit comes like a magnifying glass
and--that focuses the light of the Word of God
and illumine our hearts.
But the opposite is also true.
Listen to me very carefully.
A lot of people stumble over this.
If you are one of the elect of God,
if you're saved and you're living in disobedience
and you choose to live in the darkness of immorality,
the Holy Spirit of God goes into a corner and grieves.
Why do you think the apostle Paul said,
"Do not grieve the Holy Spirit"?
The light of Christ and the light of the Word of God
will illumine your life.
Allow the spirit of God to take the words that he authored
to shine deep into your heart
and only then will you be able to clearly see and distinguish
the difference between the real news,
the good news, and fake news,
between the truth and the falsehood,
the light will expose all of these lies
that are making their way among evangelical churches,
a lie that says Jesus is a way, not the way.
Or a lie like that says that Jesus
is just a founder of another religion
like the other founders.
Or the lie that says that love
should not only make us accept people,
but approve their immoral lifestyle.
Or the lie that says that being a Christian means
that you embrace sinfulness and perversion.
The lie that says that love compels us to never condemn sin,
whether it be a sin in our lives
or the sin in other people's lives.
Or the inclusion into the church membership
of those who reject the truth of the Bible
as an act of kindness.
That's not kindness; that's cruelty.
The list goes on and on and on.
Let me tell you something you already know.
Lying has always been around.
Ever since the serpent lied to Eve,
lying has always been around.
But I wanna submit to you
that it has reached an endemic proportion.
It's epidemic now.
So much so that the truth sounds stranger than fiction.
On the Mount of Transfiguration, Peter was so ecstatic,
he just want to stay there forever.
I can understand that.
Sometimes, when we see
the glory of Christ, we wanna be with him.
We don't wanna come down into the valley
and deal with the problems of life, sure.
He said, "Let's have a booth for you and for Moses and one--
We wanna stay here."
And that is why he says, "Look, we saw with our eyes.
We have experienced firsthand the majesty of the Lord Jesus.
Finally, verses 20 to 21,
he is telling us that you can trust the Word of God
because it came from God.
All this false preaching about, well, this part
was relevant two centuries ago,
in the first century, but not now.
A smorgasbord, you pick and choose.
This was relevant then, but it's not relevant today.
This was this, and this was that.
You know, all that stuff,
Peter here absolutely tears it to shreds.
Verses 20 to 21: you can trust the Word of God.
No matter who throws doubt on it.
No matter who throws cold water on its authenticity.
Those words in the Scripture,
he said, written by human beings,
but the Holy Spirit of God
edited every one of their thoughts and words.
These writers, 40 of them,
have written in the Word of God,
in the span of 1600 years
and yet they all write the same story, why?
Because the Holy Spirit of God
guided their thoughts and their hands.
Don't you ever doubt it.
When did you ever doubt it? Give God glory.
I'm so grateful that he preserved it.
So many despots and so many enemies
want to destroy the Word of God, but he preserve it for us.
How grateful should we be for that, huh?
Notice the word "all."
Can you say "all"?
He says, "All Scripture was written
by the direction of the Holy Spirit."
Not the bits you like and the bits you don't like.
No, no, all Scripture, it is all profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction,
and for righteousness.
All Scripture.
Let's say it again. All Scripture.
I'm gonna tell you this story as I conclude.
It's a true story of a church
like many of the thousands of churches,
at least I know dozens of them,
who many years ago,
the gospel was proclaimed boldly, truthfully,
but today no more.
It's one of those churches where the pastor preached
the whole counsel of God,
preached the whole Word of God,
trusted in the integrity of the Word of God
and the authenticity
that the Holy Spirit authored the Word of God.
When he died, the church called one of those pastors,
those modern pastors,
who was doubting some parts of the Scripture.
He doubted the historicity of the flood.
He doubted the historicity of Jonah.
He doubted the historicity of the virgin birth
despite of the fact
that the very divinity of Christ depend on it.
And so, after two years of preaching this doubt
to that congregation,
many people would just sit there in tears
over what happened to their beloved church.
He found out
that one of the stalwart members of the church
was terminally ill and is dying.
And so he decided to go and pay him a visit,
this man who served on the board of the church,
a man who loves the Word of God,
trusted the Word of God, all these years.
And so, the pastor said to him,
"I know you love the Word of God.
Do you want me to read from the Bible?"
And the man said, "Yes please."
He said, "Well, I didn't bring my Bible with me.
Can I borrow yours?"
The man gladly took his Bible, gave it to him.
And the pastor opened that Bible and he found
that many pages torn out.
Some whole chapters were missing.
There were actually some verses that methodically,
either with a scissors or razor blade,
were taken out.
I mean, it was highly mangled volume of the Scripture.
And the pastor kind of was reluctant,
didn't want to say anything, but then finally he said,
"Do you have a better Bible than this?
This is just all mangled up."
And the dying man responded, "When you came to our church,
I believed the entire book,
but as you told us certain sections were not true,
I removed them.
As you told us some stories
are probably fables and fictional,
I tore them up, out of the book.
I think if I sat under your preaching one more year,
I would have nothing left of the Bible
except the two covers."
Beloved, I know and you know that we live in uncertain times.
We live in uncertain times.
But don't let that uncertainty lead you to following fake news,
fake gospel, or fake preachers.

Top Reasons Why K1 Fiance Visa is Better than CR1 Spouse Visa - Duration: 11:43.
This is Fred Wahl the VisaCoach
Today's topic is: Why Fiance Visa is better than Spouse Visa
Visa Coach
Fast, Easy and Personal
I am Fred Wahl, the VisaCoach, I am known for the
personal one-on-one relationship that WE share, (that's you, me and your partner), as WE work
together, as a TEAM, to overcome the many challenges
of immigration,
Please don't risk your happiness, Don't go this course alone.
Alone, it's far too easy to make mistakes that cause tears,
delays and expensive denials.
Do Pick up the Phone and speak with me directly, so that,
you and I, can get to know each other.
This is the complimentary case evaluation I talk about
later.
If we are compatible, that's the beginning of our beautiful
relationship to get you the immigration approvals you need.
This is what two of my clients Hamid and Marjan, had to say: Marjan comes from Iran and I helped
her get her Fiance visa.,
She said it took 45 minutes and they went over almost 90% of the
sample questions you had given us.
She was amazed by how spot on you were.
She got a letter saying Congratulations on the conditional approval of your visa........
She said they asked a lot of questions about age difference,
my family and even tried to test her to see if I had told her
about my incarceration.
These people even read the chat messages that we printed as evidence
of relationship and asked why you guys were talking about
this and that.
At the end, one of the two interviewers left and the other
one whispered to Marjan "Be honest with me, why are you marrying him,
is it for the Green Card?"
She handled it well
Thanks again,
Well, you are most welcome: Hamid + Marjan
Now, lets talk about Why a Fiance Visa is better than a Spouse Visa.
I get calls every day.
And the conversation usually starts with no preamble but "I have
a girl or boy friend overseas, please tell me, what is the BEST visa to get him or her
here, Fiance or Spouse"?"
My answer always is "well, it depends upon your situation and what your priorities are.
It depends on what is important to you.
Is it fastest speed?
Lowest Cost?
Relative simplicity?
Are children involved?
How old are they?
Do you have enough income to self sponsor or do you need a co-sponsor?"
And so on.
Only after I understand what the person's situation is, and what his or her priorities
are, can I suggest what visa might fit.
On reviewing annual US immigration statistics comparing how many K1 fiance visas are issued,
compared to CR1 spouse visas, there is no clear cut winner in the "which is better"
contest.
Amazingly enough it's a TIE !
In recent experience about 40,000 of EACH are issued annually.
Again the real answer is "it depends".
That is one of the main reasons I invite future clients to first book a free case evaluation
with me.
Besides giving us the chance to get to know each other, and feel if we can work together,
it gives me the opportunity to learn what is going on, and what the person wants.
Then together we discuss the pros and cons and figure out which of the two visas best
fits.
But today, I am going to list just the PROS, the TOP positive reasons why most who choose
the Fiance Visa path, actually choose it.
Next month I will take the other side and list the top reasons why a Spouse visa path
is chosen instead.
Reason #1.
Fiance visa is twice as fast
In 2018 this means while a spouse visa takes 14 to 18 months on average, a Fiance visa
will get your fiancee to the US much sooner, in half the time, only 8 to 9 months on average.
The reason the spouse visa takes longer than the fiance visa, is because the time to approve
permanent residency is included in the spouse visas processing time.
A K1 Fiancée visa is considered a non-immigrant visa.
Non-immigrant means it is only for a short and temporary stay, and that is only 90 days.
This compares to a regular immigration visa like a CR1 Spouse Visa which not only gives
the person permission to enter the USA, but also grants permission to remain permanently
as a lawful permanent green card holding resident.
A fiance visa does not need to include the the time it takes to review for permanent
residency and green card approval, only approval for a short 90 day visit instead.
And immigration knows that their fiance visa review can be less vigorous and thus faster
because they understand, that if the fiancee marries and applies to remain in the USA,
there will be a second chance to review the applicant all over again, when the new bride
or groom applies for permanent residency after arrival, after the wedding.
Reason #2.
Wedding in USA
The second reason a fiance visa is better is when the couple wants to celebrate their
wedding in the United States.
Usually this means they want to share their happiness with their American family and friends.
Reason #3.
Fiance's Children ages 18 to 21 are still eligible to immigrate with Parent
The third reason that a fiancée visa is better is when the foreign fiancé wants to bring
his or her children to the USA, who are 18 years of age or older.
When applying for a fiance or spouse visa the American sponsor can also at the same
time apply to bring to the USA the dependent children of his or her fiance or spouse.
If the wedding has taken place, the American sponsor can apply for a spouse visa, and regular
immigration for any child who was under 18 years old on the day of the wedding.
The American Spouse is limited to only apply for the under
18 year old's.
Any children aged 18 to 21 would be left behind.
However, if the couple is not married, and instead applying for a Fiance Visa, then the
American can sponsor the older children too, up to 21 years of age.
Reason #4.
Single trip Engagement appears more bona fide vs single trip Wedding.
Finally a fiance visa may be better than a spouse visa, when a couple plans to only meet
once, only make one trip, and only meet a single time and then apply for the visa.
This is because the timeline of their relationship will seem to make more common sense.
The couple who makes a marriage proposal, after meeting face to face, that then applies
for a visa have followed a more normal courtship progression of getting to know each other
first, before making life changing decisions.
And if their acquaintance has been short, they still have more time to get to know each
other, while the fiance visa is pending before having to make the final commitment at the
altar.
This compares to a couple who has never met, and sight unseen, agree to marry, make arrangements
in advance of the trip, and then almost without catching breath to get over jet lag move directly
from arrivals at the airport to the altar.
Remember the consular officer making the approve or deny decision, does not know you.
Does not know how honest and sincere you are.
However, he is aware of some dishonest people who offer money and a free overseas trip,
to an American willing to marry, then sponsor a foreigner for immigration.
If your genuine relationship follows the same apparent course that some common sham applications
follow, the consular officer might not be able to identify yours from the other.
And for a consular officer, "when in doubt, the safest decision, is to deny"
To summarize, Couples who only have ONE TRIP, to meet in person, then propose, then apply
for fiance visa, will appear to a skeptical consular officer more Bona Fide, than a couple
who only have ONE TRIP, where all marriage plans, had been made and committed to in advance
of the first in-person meeting, and who carried out those prearranged plans immediately upon
arrival.
Next time I will describe the top good reasons why a CR1 Spouse Visa is better.

Why is Satan attacking me? - Duration: 3:38.
Why is Satan attacking me?
you feel like you're under attack there are three exes that I believe could be
the cause of you going through your trial or your hard time and two of them
actually have nothing to do with seeing though the first three that can be it
really is Satan attacking you the second one is God is shaping you and the third
one is situational so the first one seemed sometimes Satan does attack us so
if you look at the book of Joel in the Bible Jobe was a man who had a lot of
wealth he had a lot of he had many children
and thank God allowed Satan to take everything that he had away because
Satan thought that if he took his stuff away he would no longer be faithful to
God and so God said you can take everything away from him except his life
do not touch his legs and I really encourage you to read the book of Job
but at the end of this story Jobe ends up gaining back everything that he lost
it because he stayed faithful to God I think job is a really great example of
how Satan can attack you and take everything away from you and make your
circumstances be extremely difficult but job's stay committed to the Lord despite
the circumstances and despite everything he was going through the second reason
why you might feel like you're under attack or if you're going through a hard
time is God is just shaping you God uses difficult situations difficult periods
of your life to shape you and mold you and to grow you spiritually James
chapter 2 verse 4 consider it joy when you face trial because the testing of
your faith produces perseverance that perseverance finish its work so that you
may be mature and complete not lacking anything with God through the hard times
through the bad circumstances don't back out of obedience when it starts to get
hard or what do you feel like you are not saying what you want that's enough
so sometimes we tend to kind of backpedal and and stop obeying God
persevere through the situation but that you'll be mature and complete not
lacking anything and then the third is just situational and that has two parts
to it the first one could be circumstances through our own fault and
then the second one could be because of sin so what I mean by circumstances is
say I'm driving on this on the highway then on my way to work and my car breaks
down and I stopped on the side of the road
and then it's kind of easy to say Satan is attacking me you know like I'm lit to
work Saints attacking me but you don't change the oil on your car you don't do
the proper maintenance on your car you don't take care of your car so of course
it's gonna break and you're gonna be stuck on the side of the road eventually
see it's not attacking you
so God doesn't operate through the works of the flesh so if we sin he doesn't
punish us but that doesn't mean that we don't have circumstances to our sin
sometimes we just go through those circumstances and we tend to blame Satan
but that's not the case we're just out of alignment with God and so we're
dealing with the consequences of our sin and the circumstances of our sin and
it's not safe necessarily attacking us and will try to tempt you to say because
he wants to take away God's best for your life you might also try to convince
you to stay comfortable and not kind of step out of your comfort zone because
oftentimes when were comfortable there's no growth for example I'm very
uncomfortable making these videos but I don't want to do these videos I don't
honestly maybe that sounds harsh but I honestly don't feel comfortable making
these videos but I'm just doing it out of obedience to God so instead of trying
to see what God can bless you with ask God what can I do for you then I'd have
to check myself on this lately to not be motivated by God giving me something as
a result of obedience but just so be obeying God because I love God and I
just I want to obey and do what he asks of me thank you for watching I will see
you

Food thats ALIVE when you eat it! - Duration: 10:21.
Food is one of the basic necessities of life.
All of us must eat and while in animals that basically refers to killing a prey and eating
it raw, humans have a more developed culinary sense.
They spend a lot of time cooking and some have made professions out of it.
But every so often, we tend to return to our very base instincts.
While that does not necessarily mean eating food raw, it does mean eating them while they
are still alive.
Let us take a look at some of the dishes that people eat while it is still alive!
10.
Sannakji.
While many of us may not have heard of it, sannakji is a very popular dish served in
Korea.
And it is also pretty easy to make.
All it takes is one baby octopus, known as nakji, and it is basically chopped up into
pieces and eaten alive.
Of course, there is a seasoning of sesame seeds and sesame oil to go with it.
What you eat is actually the tentacles, and the tentacles are still moving around when
you swallow it.
That actually can cause problems as the suction cups on the tentacles are still active and
they can become stuck on the throat and lead to choking.
Deaths have also been reported due to sannakji choking which is why it also finds its way
into lists of the most dangerous foods on the planet!
9.
Sea Urchins.
Well this one is as basic a food as you can get.
What the dish involves is catching a sea urchin and eating its insides!
No cooking, no seasoning!
But of course, not the entire of the sea urchin is edible.
They have a number of spikes which can pose a little danger if not eaten properly.
The edible part of the sea urchin is the roe, which is on the inside.
So, there is a special tool to open them up though people can manage with scissors as
well.
The insides are generally eaten with a spoon although people often lick them out as well.
And if your insides are churning, you would not be the only ones.
But then there are quite a few exceptions as hunting for sea urchins and eating them
has become a popular practice in Italy!
8.
Drunken Shrimp.
As fancy as the name sounds in itself, the dish is actually fancier!
It is delicacy from China, or at least what some call it a delicacy!
The drunken shrimp is basically just that.
It's a bunch of shrimps dunked into a bowl of alcohol.
Of course, the process is much more refined than that, but that is the essence of it.
And while it is not always served with live shrimps, there are more than enough times
that it is.
The shrimp is served with a bowl of baijiu, which contains almost 40 – 60 percent alcohol!
A traditional dish involves around 10 full grown, live shrimps which are dunked into
the bowl of baijiu.
And the shrimp tend to thrash around a lot so the consumers have to catch them and stuff
it into their mouths before they can get away!
If you are not careful and forget to chew them before swallowing, they can keep wriggling
even after they have been swallowed!
7.
Noma Salad.
There is a very famous restaurant located in Copenhagen called Noma.
In fact, it has been named as the best restaurant in the world on more than one occasion and
have even opened up restaurants elsewhere in the world.
What marks the Noma as special is that they love to innovate.
So much so, that one of their signature dishes is the noma salad, which is basically a bunch
of ants in your salad!
What happens is that the dish is served with chilled ants, so they move slower, making
them easy to eat.
These ants are supposed to taste like lemongrass, but why on earth would you not use lemongrass
itself?
And what's more, the Noma charges you over $300 for a salad that is crawling with ants!
Hey, just go to a bachelor kitchen!
You will probably find that free of cost!
6.
Casu marzu.
Cheese is definitely one of the most popular food items the world over!
Who doesn't love the hot melt in mouth cheese that comes with Pizzas?
And there are many types of cheese that you can choose from, but if you ever found out
what the actual content in the Casu marzu is, you will probably be turned off cheese
forever!
The casu marzu is a Sardinian cheese made from sheep's milk.
The process of its production is that the larvae of cheese flies are intentionally put
in the cheese to cut down on its fat content.
The larvae eat through the cheese and seep a liquid known as lagrima!
And after keeping it in that state for some time, the cheese is labelled ready for eating!
And while some remove the maggots, there are many who prefer to eat the cheese with the
maggots!
Oh, and they are advised to do that with their eyes closed, as the maggots tend to leap out!
And if the thought tempts you rather than nauseate you, you are kind of out of luck
as most places have a ban of the casu marzu!
5.
Oysters.
While oysters are a delicacy in almost all parts of the world, many might not be aware
that they are probably eating it alive!
And well, in their defence, it is often not easy to tell if the oyster is actually alive
or not.
The thing is that oysters tend to deteriorate much faster than other animal meat so it is
difficult to transport them after they are dead.
Now when the shell of an oyster is actually cracked open, they can survive for a long
time.
And it is only when the flesh is actually separated completely from the shell that they
begin to die.
Which is why oysters are almost always sucked out directly from the shell.
So the next time you order an oyster, be prepared that you are going to be eating a live animal!
4.
Eels.
When it comes to food, most people play it safe.
But if you a chef, you need to be open to food encounters of any kind.
Which was what prompted a renowned chef to try out a dish that he found at a local eatery
in Japan.
What the dish contained was basically baby eels.
Basically, a bowl of baby eels is brought to the table and you are asked to add vinegar
and sake to the bowl.
That makes them start to wiggle around and you are supposed to catch them and eat them
whole!
And it is considered quite an experience in Japan as the jiggling eels make way into your
stomach and you can even feel them moving around in your stomach!
Definitely not an experience that everyone will be able to stomach, pun intended!
3.
Cobra.
We have all heard of the venomous nature of cobra.
Which is why most of us would like nothing better than to never encounter them in real
life.
But then, there are some who live to actually eat the cobra!
In Vietnam, customers can opt for a dish where they go up to a cage full of snakes, choose
the one which they want and then ask the chef to prepare it!
What follows it pretty bizarre.
The snakes are agitated in one way or the other to get their hearts to beat faster.
They are then sliced down the middle to let the blood flow into a half full glass of rice
wine and the still beating heart is put into this drink.
The juices of the gallbladder are then poured into another cup of rice wine.
The customers then down the first glass with the still beating heart and then follow it
up with the other glass with the gallbladder juice!
And then probably there is a third bucket to puke it all out in, but that one might
be optional!
2.
Opihi.
In Hawaii, you can often get fresh sea food.
And in some cases, the food might be fresher than you think!
We are talking about the opihi, which is basically a shellfish who love to cling to rocks!
And that is why there are many opihi vendors who walk around with bags full of freshly
caught opihi.
And when they sell it to you, its not just a live shellfish they are selling, but a complete
dish in itself!
The opihi are eaten straight out of their shells, with tentacles and all.
They are usually served with a side of limu and a dash of salt.
And if you think there is a danger of them crawling out of your mouth because well, they
are alive, be at peace.
They are not really fast movers and as long as you do not take forever to chew them, they
wont come out.
Of course, if you are adventurous, you can try and catch the opihi by yourself and eat
it without involving a vendor or a restaurant, but they have kind of figured out not to hang
out wherever humans are!
They are kind of smart when you think of it!
1.
Lobster.
While it is still rare, cases of people picking out the lobster that they want to eat have
still been heard of.
What is rarer, and thankfully so, is the case of eating right out of the belly of a lobster
while it is still alive, and staring at you while you devour it!
The process is pretty gruesome as the lobster is sliced it half while it wriggles around.
And the rest of the process is basically culling out the bits that are edible and it is served
on a bed of ice for you to enjoy while the lobster watches you devour it!
And the fact is that the dish must be prepared and served immediately so that the muscles
do not stiffen up and ruin the so called experience.
But the very idea of eating something while the rest of it is watching is not a recommended
activity for everyone.
It takes a staunch heart and stomach and very frankly, the world would not be missing out
on something if this sort of food was banned!
Those were some of the foods that people love to eat around the globe which are actually
not dead when eaten!
And if you are feeling a little squeamish after listening about all those animals being
eaten alive, you would not be the only ones.
But if you are one of those adventurous eaters who have tried any of these dishes, do let
us know in the comments below.

Why Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank deserve a big royal wedding â€" opinion - Duration: 4:03.
Much has been said about whether Princess Eugenie and her fiancé Jack Brooksbank should stage such a big, grand wedding in Windsor like Eugenie's cousin Prince Harry did back in May
As a junior member of the royal family, the Princess is ninth in line to the throne and will drop further back as children are born to those ahead of her
She has no public role and does not appear in the Court Circular, plus there are concerns about the cost of policing the event
But in this week's issue of magazine, royal author and historian Christopher Wilson argues why Eugenie and Jack deserve a gloriously big wedding
"The fact remains that Eugenie is the sovereign's grandchild, just as Prince Charles's sons William and Harry are, and she has every reason to expect equal treatment," Christopher wrote
"Behind this, too, will be Prince Andrew (Eugenie's father), ever conscious that he is the Queen's second son and until the age of 22 was second in line to the throne
He will feel entitled to celebrate the marriage of his daughter in suitable style
" Christopher continued: "Market analysts Brand Finance calculated that Harry and Meghan's wedding would benefit the British economy by more than £1bn, with £250m spent in restaurants and shops, £50m on souvenirs, and £150m in increased clothing sales associated with the 'Meghan effect,' creating numerous export opportunities for British brands
" He noted: "Eugenie and Jack may not be in the same league, but the boost to the economy generated by their big day is still likely to outweigh its cost
" MORE: Why James Martin has ruled out marriage and babies with long-term girlfriend Louise Eugenie and Jack are set to marry on Friday 12 October at St George's Chapel in Windsor
Like her cousin Harry, the Princess will take part in a carriage ride around the town with her new husband Jack
The couple have also invited 1,200 members of the public to watch the wedding from the castle precinct
A few voices have raised concerns about mounting such a big wedding for a junior member of the royal family
Last week, Eugenie's mum Sarah, Duchess of York retweeted an open letter from the CEO and co-founder of Humanitas charity, Sarah Wade, who strongly opposed an online feature that spoke negatively of Eugenie and Jack's big day
The Duchess is royal patron of Humanitas charity. MORE: Rachel Riley and Strictly's Pasha Kovalev give us serious holiday envy The letter from the charity CEO read: "I would like to draw into questions the purpose of the feature, is it to make a young couple feel embarrassed or ashamed of the choices they have made for their wedding day or is it to incite anger and hatred towards them? Either way, the outcome is negative and tantamount to bullying
The rhetoric is inflammatory and divisive, suggesting that the Princess has a 'hunger for glitz and glamour that is every bit as monstrous as Mother Fergie's' and making the ill-search judgement that the Princess has done almost nothing of note
" Pick up this week's issue of to read the full opinion piece on why Eugenie and Jack deserve a big wedding

Voting Is a Responsibility - Duration: 23:36.
DAVID BARTON: "What'd you do with that country I gave you?"
"I decided not to get involved in that." That's not an
acceptable answer. BUDDY PILGRIM: Be political. DAVID:
That's Matthew 25, and that's where the servant got in
trouble, because the master gave him something and said, "Take
care of it until I get back," and the servant
decided not to take care of it. He said,
"Throw that servant into outer darkness."
(Music)
GEORGE PEARSONS: This is Pastor George Pearsons,
and welcome to this very special edition of the
Believer's Voice of Victory, "Faith for Our Nation." We have
a midterm election that's coming up, and we are motivating,
inspiring, and getting people to get onboard with voting. And we
have a couple of men with us here during this week that we
are going to be focusing on the issues that deal with our nation
and for us to--to walk in this awakening that we're in right
now, and stay awake, stay awake during this time. So, I
have--first of all, I want to introduce to you my cohost that
has been with us for this week. It's Buddy Pilgrim. He is the
president and founder of Integrity Leadership, which
ministers the Word of God to business people, business
principles based on the Word of God, and involved in corporate
leadership for many years. Also, Buddy, you've been involved in
the political realm, which we'll talk a little bit about that
some more. He is a board member of Kenneth Copeland Ministries.
And to the executive team of Kenneth Copeland Ministries, of
which I'm the head of that team, you are our strategic adviser,
special assistant. And it's great--it's great to have a
board member embedded in your team. So, Buddy, I welcome you.
I'm so glad that you're here with us. BUDDY: Thank you,
George. Happy to be here as a cohost. GEORGE: You've
got--(Laughs) You've got--you've got so much to give to us. And
then our guest--Buddy is the cohost, but our guest is well
known by many of the people that watch Kenneth Copeland
Ministries and--and the network and our broadcasts. But for
those of you that don't, David Barton is the founder of
WallBuilders, which he presents America's forgotten history with
an emphasis on the moral, the religious, the Constitutional
foundations. And David has participated in so many
different things where our nation is concerned, Supreme
Court cases. And one particular thing that he's involved that I
have right here, this is my copy of something that you were very
involved in, and that is our Republican platform. And David
was one of the--the writers of that. How honored we are to have
you. Let me reach across this table and shake your hand. David
Barton, welcome. DAVID: Hey, Buddy. BUDDY: Hey, David.
GEORGE: Welcome, welcome, welcome. We're so glad that
you're here. DAVID: Good to be here. Good to be back. GEORGE:
David, we'll get right into this today. The purpose and the
reason that we're here for this week is to motivate the people
that are watching to vote during these midterm elections. As you
were sharing a little--a while ago, that at the time that we're
airing this, the primaries are about done; is that correct?
DAVID: Primaries are pretty much over. There's about three left
at the time this airs. And now we start looking--probably in
about four weeks, you'll see all the ads gear up full swing for
the--the elections in November. GEORGE: Okay. DAVID: So
we're--we're at that transition time. It's quieting down from
the primaries. It's picking up for the general. GEORGE: Okay.
Well, let me mention something here, too, that we also have all
of the notes from what we're teaching here and talking about,
they're available to you. Just go to and you can
download those absolutely free. And then for any information
that you might need about these elections, you can go to
americastands.us, and it has information on that website, the
primary election dates, which they're just about up, the voter
guides that we have available to you. There are notes that I did
based on these platforms. I taught in church based on the
platforms. Those notes are in there; election times coming up,
prayers for our nation, scriptures, and then also
the--the notes that Bishop Butler taught a little over a
month ago on this broadcast. So that's on americastands.us., and
that's available to you. So, David, where do we begin on
this? How do we--how do we get started on just getting people
to--and one of the things that we were thinking about was the
fact that you go through a presidential election, and
everybody is so geared up towards that-- DAVID: Mm-hmm.
GEORGE: --and because of what you've done, because of what
Buddy's done. I was thinking about that this morning, how
your part with the Ted Cruz campaign, in the reaching out to
the faith base--how that really stirred up the people to go and
vote. So I was thinking about that this morning, how much I
appreciate what you did to get that done. BUDDY: It started
with the Cruz campaign because we were--we were determined to
make the 2016 election cycle be the cycle that had the largest
turnout of Evangelical Christians anywhere in the
nation. And David knows that. David was a part of that
movement to-- DAVID: Yeah. BUDDY: --make
that happen as well. And we recruited more
faith leaders from all around the country,
Evangelical leaders, even conservative Jews, to get
involved, to understand the issues, understand the biblical
basis, even the basis from the Torah of principles that they
should look to-- GEORGE: Yep, yep. BUDDY: --for picking
candidates. We got the largest number of them ever involved
initially in the Cruz campaign. And then when President Trump
became the nominee, we wanted to get them involved and keep them
involved then. And it's important that David has--as
David knows, to keep them involved in this next election
cycle as well. GEORGE: That's the thing that I wanted to lead
into was the fact that there was a great push towards that. And
there's almost a sense of, "Shew, that's over. We've got
that done, and now we can--we can kind of sit back." But this
is not the time to sit back, especially where the midterm
elections are concerned. DAVID: One of the things we--we fight
with historically is Christian voter turnout's extremely low,
and it shouldn't be. That should be the highest of all. And
there's--there's reasons for that. So let me--let me--when
you come to an election like this, people say, "I'm so tired
of politics. I'm so tired of the polarization." GEORGE: Yep.
DAVID: "I'm so tired of 24/7, 365 CNN, NBC, Fox, whatever it
is." GEORGE: Right. DAVID: And so you just get kind of
calloused to it, and you're tired of all the bickering back
and forth and the character this and the character that, and they
don't like--that has nothing to do with what a Christian's duty
is. And you have to separate duty from inclinations. "I don't
want to." I don't care whether you want to or not. There's
certain things you do because it's the right thing to do
because-- GEORGE: Right. DAVID: --you'll answer to God for it.
And so let me hit the--the first thing I think we have to deal
with-- GEORGE: Yes. DAVID: --is Christian involvement. And let
me--let me put a perspective on it. In America--let me go back
even further. I have a Jewish--my rabbi--and I have a
rabbi, and I think every Christian needs a rabbi.
(Laughter) My rabbi--I had a real epiphany with him because I
was called to testify at the U.S. Senate on global warming
issues. So before I did, I--you know, global warming expert, I
ran my testimony by my rabbi and said, "What do you--" And my
rabbi is Daniel Lapin, great guy. GEORGE: Oh, yeah. DAVID:
And so Rabbi Lapin said, "Well, you know, it's good, but here's
some thoughts." And he gave me some stuff out of Genesis I
hadn't seen before. And I've read the Bible cover to cover
how many dozen times. And so he is so good at just showing me
things that I've read and never saw. And one of the things he
said, he said, "You do realize that when God chose to speak to
man, chose to speak to Adam, and he spoke in Hebrew." I mean, he
could have chosen French or Italian or Texan or anything
else. BUDDY: (Laughs) Texan. DAVID: He chose Hebrew. He said,
"Hebrew, therefore, is the language of God. Every word in
Hebrew is a word that's come out of the mouth of God." He said,
"So in Hebrew, it's not only important what you can say, it's
important what you can't say." BUDDY: Mm. GEORGE: Mm. DAVID: I
said, "What?" BUDDY: Yeah. DAVID: He said, "Do you know
that, in Hebrew, it is impossible to say the word
'coincidence'?" It does not exist. He said, "Because it
never crossed God's mind that something was a coincidence."
GEORGE: Wow. DAVID: Sure. I mean, we think God says, "Oh,
man, I didn't see that coming," you know? GEORGE: Yeah. (Laughs)
DAVID: No. He said, "You cannot say the word 'coincidence' in
Hebrew. It doesn't exist." I said, "That's cool." I said,
"What else can't you say in Hebrew?" He said, "Well, you
can't say the word 'retirement.'" There is no word
for "retirement" in Hebrew. And, you know, God put us here to be
fruitful and productive. Maybe we change our jobs, but you
don't ever get to the point where you shouldn't be fruitful
and productive. GEORGE: Yeah, that's right. DAVID: We have the
one example in Luke where the guy said, "Now I can retire.
I've got everything laid up." And that's the example where it
says, "You fool, this night your soul's required of God." "If
you're not going to be productive, let's get you out of
there." And so retire--I said, "That's cool." And so he told me
these other words because I kept asking him, "What other words
can't you say?" And one word he said--he said, "In Hebrew, there
is no word for 'rights.' You have no rights in Hebrew. All
you have are responsibilities." So what you teach is
responsibilities, not rights. And so here in America, we say,
"Hey, I've got a right to vote." No, you don't. You have a
responsibility to vote. GEORGE: Mm. DAVID: It's not a right
because when you say it's a right, it's something I can
choose to do or not choose to do. With voting, you don't have
that choice. Voting is a responsibility. And so you have
a duty to vote because you're part of the stewardship of the
nation. So it's not a right to vote. And--and that's such a key
concept, because when you get-- "I don't want to vote. I don't
like the--I'm so tired of bickering." That's not an
option. You have a duty to vote. You have a responsibility to be
involved. And so as you get into that duty concept of, "I'm--I'm
going to vote," you just make up your mind that "I'm going to--"
here's what we have. In America, every adult can vote. According
to the Constitution, you have to be 18 and above, and past that,
you can vote. A hundred percent of Americans that are 18 and
above can vote. The only thing we ask you to do is, please get
registered. That way we can make sure you didn't vote five
times-- GEORGE: Yeah. DAVID: --or nobody voted for you. Just
voter integrity. So all you have to do is fill out a little card
and you're ready to vote. Only 67.1 percent of adults have
filled out that card. GEORGE: Wow. DAVID: So right off the
bat, one out of three Americans says, "I don't care what happens
to America. I'm not going to be part of it." That's bad
stewardship. You've already given away your
responsibilities. GEORGE: Yes. DAVID: So we're 67--67.1 percent
of adults that are registered that can vote. We had a
presidential election two years ago. Every presidential election
since 1980, the average voter turnout is 54 percent. But
that's 54 percent not of the nation, that's 54 percent of
67.1 percent. GEORGE: Yeah. DAVID: So you're talking half of
67.1 percent, and you're--you're roughly at about 36 percent of
adults vote in a presidential election. It only takes half of
that to win the election. So since 1980, you're talking about
only one out of five Americans choosing the President of the
United States, which is--you look at the last election, we
got 330 million, it was about 61 million that won the election.
So you're talking one out of five Americans chooses the
winning candidate. Now, you're coming to this election right
now. GEORGE: Yep. DAVID: It drops from 54 percent of
Americans voting to 39 percent voting. Now, we're talking 39
percent of 67 percent-- GEORGE: 67 percent. DAVID: --so now
we're at 26 percent. One out of four Americans will vote in this
election. It takes half of that to win. One out of eight
Americans will choose our governors, our U.S. senators,
and our congressmen. So that's not-- GEORGE: But what did you
say? One out of-- DAVID: Eight. BUDDY: One out of eight. DAVID:
Eight. GEORGE: Eight, okay. DAVID: 13 percent. You're
looking at 13 percent of adults will choose--will choose the
winners in this election. GEORGE: Yeah. Wow. DAVID: So for
Christians not to be involved, shame on us if we're not. And I
am--the Founding Fathers, I learned this from them. They
said, "You will stand before God one day and account for all you
do." We know that out of the scriptures. We know Jesus told
the 12, "You'll give account for every word you speak." We know,
out of I Corinthians 4, you'll give account for the thoughts
that you have, the ones that you maintain, not what goes through
your head, but what you think about. We know out of Hebrews 4
you'll be--you'll give account for everything you do, every
action and deed. And so we stand before God one day, and He says,
"What'd you do with your life?" We'll have to explain. You know,
"Lord, I gave my heart to You. I did exactly what you told me to.
I shared my faith with others." "Good." "What'd you do with your
family?" "Oh, man, I loved my wife like you told me. I loved
my spouse. I raised my kids in the nurture and admonition of
the Lord." "Good job. What'd you do with your possessions?" "I
did really good. Not only did I tithe, I did offerings. I took
care of the--the orphans and the needy. I did all the thing--"
GEORGE: Right. DAVID: "Great." "What'd you do with that country
I gave you?" "I decided not to get involved in that." That's
not an acceptable answer. BUDDY: Be political. DAVID: That's
Matthew 25. And that's where the servant got in trouble, because
the master gave him something and said, "Take care of it until
I get back," and the servant decided not to take care of it.
He said, "Throw that wicked servant into outer darkness."
GEORGE: Yeah. DAVID: So in our case, we've been given a nation,
Luke 19:13 says, "Occupy till I come." "You take care of this
till I get back." And for Christians not to be involved in
the care of their civil government--now, that's the
numerical side. Let me throw out another side on this. It has to
do with what I would consider to be some bad theology. If you ask
most Christians today, "Why did God put you here? Why are you
here? What's your purpose?" GEORGE: Yeah, yeah. DAVID: Since
1746, the chief answer, particularly among Protestants
has been to glorify God. BUDDY: Yeah. DAVID: "I'm here to
glorify God and to serve Him forever." Okay, show me the
Bible verse on that. The problem with that is God's got plenty of
creatures to glorify Him. That's why He made angels. Angels
glorify. He's got no shortage of people to glorify Him. GEORGE:
Right, right. DAVID: We're here for a different purpose. And if
you go into Genesis 1 and 2, in Genesis 1 and 2, you get
creation given to you twice. Genesis 1, you see the earth
created. Genesis 2, you see it created, but you get a different
part of the story. So between those two chapters, it kind of
blows it up. And if you look in Genesis 2 where it's
saying--because Genesis 1:26-27, "God made man in his own image;
male and female made he them." So-- BUDDY: But He told them to
rule. And He said, "Subdue the earth." DAVID: "Subdue, take
dominion." And then over in Chapter 2, He kind of blows that
up a little bit. And what's interesting is He made man, and
then in Chapter 2, He tells you why He made man. GEORGE: Yeah.
DAVID: It said He looked over everything that He created. He
looked over--He looked over the animals and the fish, and He
looked over it. And His word was--in Genesis 2:5 and then
Genesis 2:15, He said--He saw that he had no one to tend the
garden. GEORGE: Yeah. DAVID: And so He made man. GEORGE: Yeah.
DAVID: Man was made to take care of God's stuff. GEORGE: (Laughs)
That's good. DAVID: That's the bottom line. GEORGE: Yeah,
that's right. DAVID: We're not here to glorify God. We need to
glorify God. That's--that's a command. We're here to take care
of His stuff. GEORGE: Yeah. DAVID: And His stuff is
education, it's politics, it's religion, it's business, it's
entertainment, it's media, it's--we're here to take care of
His stuff. GEORGE: It's for the seven mountains. DAVID: The
seven mountains because they're often called, yeah, the
Christian--a Christian teaching about the seven mountains.
GEORGE: Yeah. DAVID: And those are the seven spheres of
influence. God put us here to take care of His stuff. And if
we say, "Oh, I don't care what your stuff is in government. I'm
not going to get involved with that," got news for you, God
created government before He created Church. You go through
Genesis, He creates man, then He creates the family, then He
creates government, then He creates the Church. So that's
His institution. And you're saying, "I'm not going to take
care of God's stuff"? That's why He made you, was to put you here
for His stuff. GEORGE: Yeah. DAVID: So if Christians get that
mentality, then when you come to this election and look at this
election, you take the view, "I'm going to be involved. What
can I do to make the best impact I possibly can?" GEORGE: Yeah,
yeah. DAVID: And at that point, now you're a whole different
paradigm, and you've got different questions to ask and
different questions to answer. Now, Buddy's been involved in
politics. I've been involved in politics a long time. I've had
political office in Texas for nine years. I have trained
thousands of candidates. And what we train candidates to do
is find three issues and run on those three issues. You want to
stick on those three issues. We teach the message discipline.
And so every candidate that runs, whether they're running
for mayor or whether they're running for president, you're
going to hear three things over and over. And they're going to
just stay on that and stay on that and stay on that and stay
on that. But on their website, there's going to be 40 or 50
different issues, and they're going to cover things from
climate change to military, Syria to Israel, to foreign
affairs, to sub-Saharan Africa. They're going to cover tax,
they're going to cover economics, they're going to
cover--cover recovery, they're going to cover jobs. They're
going to cover every single conceivable thing. GEORGE: Yes.
DAVID: And voters always are attracted by certain things.
Now, the candidate's going to pick three things that poll
really high, and that's what they're going to keep talking
about the whole time. So whatever the polling is, that's
what they're going to talk about. But other people say,
"Well, you know, I--I'm really concerned about creation care,"
or whatever they choose. That's okay, but you better make sure
your concerns are biblical concerns. And for Christians,
they don't always do that. And so one of the things that I love
pointing out is, when God took His people Israel after 400
years of slavery-- GEORGE: Right. DAVID: --through a series
of those 10 plagues, He gets them delivered from Pharaoh,
then He wipes out Pharaoh there at the Red Sea. He leads them
out with a pillar of fire and cloud and gets them out of
there. And He gets them out in the wilderness, all these former
slaves, and He says, "Okay, nobody's chasing you, and you
don't have a clue where you're going. So I'm stopping you right
here, and we're going to make a nation out of you." GEORGE:
There we go. DAVID: And so right there around the mountain, He
made them into a nation. And what He did was delivered to
them 613 laws. It's every law that any nation ever needs to
run a nation. And it deals with economics, it deals with
military, it deals with foreign affairs, it deals with
immigration, it deals with education. 613 laws, everything
a nation needs, any nation. And that's why God's Word is
applicable for every aspect of a nation. So you look at that, and
so you look at a candidate's website, and you go, "Man, 613
things. You know, there's something for everybody"--
GEORGE: (Laughs) Yeah. DAVID: --essentially is about what it
amounts to. But what's really cool is, over in Genesis--or
over in Exodus 34, God says, "By the way, I gave you My top 10."
He said, "That's the tenor of my law." "I gave you 613 laws, but
I do have some that are more important than others." BUDDY:
Yes. GEORGE: Yes, yes. BUDDY: Or that guide all the others.
DAVID: They guide all the others. It's the backbone. Now,
I picked this for fun because that's the Ten Commandments,
obviously. This is--this one's historic. It's historic in the
sense of--and I'm going to jump off the priorities that God has
and do a little social commentary here for a minute
because we all--120,000 documents from before 1812. This
is obviously after 1812. This goes back to 1978. This Ten
Commandments from 1978--and, I mean, you see the Ten
Commandments and the significance of stuff here is
you don't murder, and you don't steal, and et cetera. This is
what was hanging in the walls of Kentucky Schools in 1978.
GEORGE: Oh, my. DAVID: When a lawsuit was filed, they went to
the Supreme Court. It's called Stone v. Graham. And this hung
in the hallways of the class. And just like there were
pictures--a picture of George Washington on that hall, and
there's a horse running through a pasture over there, and
there's a bowl of flowers back here, and here's the Ten
Commandments. And the question was asked, "What if a student
sees this? What if they walk over to it and start reading
it?" GEORGE: Yeah. DAVID: "Is it Constitutional for a student to
voluntarily read this if they want to?" GEORGE: Yeah. DAVID:
The Supreme Court came back, Stone v. Graham, and said, "No."
If--this is their quota. If the posted copies of the Ten
Commandments were to have any effect, it would be to induce
the school children to read them. If they would read them,
they might meditate on them and venerate them and obey them, and
that would be unconstitutional. GEORGE: Whoa. DAVID: So, "Don't
kill." "Oh, I can't figure out why we have so many more school
shootings today with kids walking into schools in Florida
and shooting." Because we don't teach them things like this.
This is real simple stuff. GEORGE: Yes. DAVID: This is one
of God's top 10. You don't murder; you do not shed innocent
blood. Try teaching that in a school today. See, what we want
to do is punish them after they have, or take their guns away.
So, no, if you don't fix the heart, you'll never fix what's
inside. BUDDY: Yeah. GEORGE: We've got about two minutes,
guys, so we--and we'll continue on in this, but, please, keep
going with it. BUDDY: One quick thing. And it was a judge, not a
legislature-- DAVID: That's where we're headed. BUDDY: --not
a bunch of legislatures-- DAVID: That's exactly right. GEORGE:
Right. Right, right, right. BUDDY: --representing the
people. It was a judge that made the decision that that couldn't
be done. DAVID: The judges are key on this. But what's
interesting is, if you look at this, God says, "I am the Lord
thy God." That's public religious acknowledgments.
That's one of His top 10. So if you have a candidate that says,
"Oh, separation of church and state," you're saying, "Can't
say, 'God,' in public." The military can't have God. You
can't have a kid say, "God," at graduation. That violates one of
God's top 10. So as a Christian, I want to vote on the top 10,
which means, out of all the stuff on the website, I want to
see where they are on religious expressions. If they're not
right on religious expressions--and that
includes--we'll talk about this later--the rights of conscience.
GEORGE: Oh, that's good. DAVID: The rights of conscience goes
here. That's God's number one. If you get a secular-minded
person that thinks you should not be acknowledging God or kids
shouldn't pray in school or kids shouldn't see the Ten
Commandments-- GEORGE: Yep. DAVID: --we've got problems with
who we're electing. GEORGE: Yep. DAVID: So get somebody
different. So that's the first rule. The next one I'll point to
is down here, "Thou shall not commit adultery." Now, what's
that--God says, "Look, I want sex confined to a man and woman
in marriage." Ah, now we've got a sexual definition. Anything
outside of sex as a man or woman in marriage is wrong. So
homosexual sex is wrong, however, adultery is wrong,
married--sex outside of marriage or premarital sex is wrong. God
says, "I want sexuality confined to a man and a woman in
marriage," period. So I want to see where candidates are on
sexuality. Where are they on LGBT? Where are they on
marriage? Where are--because that's one of God's top 10.
GEORGE: That's outstanding. DAVID: That's one of God's top
10. GEORGE: Okay. DAVID: And then if I also say, "Thou shall
not kill" --in Hebrew, the word "kill" means murder. It's not
"kill." It's not military. You don't shed innocent blood.
GEORGE: Right. Right. DAVID: And I think abortion is shedding
innocent--sure, it is. Abortion is shedding innocent blood. So,
here's the deal: I don't care what the candidate's issues are.
My top three issues are going to be, where are you on
acknowledgment of God and religious conscience? GEORGE:
Wow. DAVID: Where are you on sexuality? Where are you on--on
abortion? GEORGE: Yep. DAVID: And then past that, we'll talk
about creation, care, or taxes, or something else. GEORGE:
Speaking of 10, I've got 10 seconds here so...
(Laughter) This is exciting. We'll be right back.
ANNOUNCER: We hope you enjoyed today's teaching from Kenneth
Copeland Ministries. And remember Jesus is Lord.

Bipolar Disorder Help: 5 Reasons Why Many Don't Seek It Out | HealthyPlace - Duration: 2:56.
Hey guys, it's Hannah.
5 reasons those of us living with bipolar disorder
do not seek help when we need it the most.
One reason, of course, is the shame and guilt
that we feel for receiving help.
A lot of people around us don't treat it
as though it is a real disease
and it influences us not to treat it like that as well.
And that's a problem.
We spend so much time feeling guilty for not being okay
that it distracts us from ever receiving the help that we deserve.
Number 2.
We deny it.
It's a phase. It's going away.
How many of you have said that?
I know I have.
It's not easy for those around us to accept it
and us, when you cannot physically see it.
Number 3.
There is no clear, step-by-step, treatment process.
It's not step 1, step 2, step 3, step 4
and then, you're there.
And we feel so alone.
And people aren't open about mental illness in society.
So we can't just pick up the phone
and ask a friend or somebody we know
about how they went through it.
It is very overwhelming, treatment, even though it's necessary.
Number 4.
We are really nervous about treatment and getting help.
The side-effects of bipolar medications are very severe.
And what you see on the Internet -
the side effects that people have gone through -
you're always saying yourself:
"Is it even worth me getting help?"
And number 5.
Sometimes, when you receive help,
you begin to lose hope.
You've started the treatment process.
You're experimenting with medications;
which is a long and enduring process.
But when they're not working
and you're facing these severe side effects,
you begin to question whether you can even get better.
And that's devastating.
You feel hopeless and helpless.
And one point I want to share with you is about hope.
Hope is being able to see
that there is light
despite all of the darkness.
In regards to receiving help,
please subscribe to my Youtube channel.
Look at my videos about treatment
and finding psychiatrists
based on my personal experience
with bipolar 2 disorder.
And the resources at HealthyPlace.com.
You have a huge community of support.
And you are not alone.
Please share your thoughts with me down below.
And I will see you next week.
Bye.

about the comparison of Xiaomi Mi A1 and Mi A2
Is it worth upgrading from Mi A1 to Mi A2 now?
Immediately see this video do not forget Subscribe
and turn on the notification bell
to support us to always update
Go ahead!
In terms of both dimensions are almost the same
the difference is Mi A2 3.3 millimeter longer
and 1 gram heavier than Mi a1
The superior screen Mi A2 has a size of 5.99 Inch
and is already using the 18:9 screen ratio
Screen to body ratio also reached 77.4%
Already Protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5
Same screen Resolution 1080 pixels
The Performance
Mi A1 must admit defeat
Mi A2 is equipped with Snapdragon 660
has Clock Speed 2.2 Ghz performance mode
and 1.8 GHz power saving mode
625 Octa Core, all the core has a 2.0 Ghz of Speed
Dex version of Hexagon 680 and Modem X12 LTE higher
Adreno 512 GPU is capable of displaying
a maximum resolution of 2560x1600 pixels QHD
Adreno 506 FHD 1080p
In the Memory Mi A2 sector has increased dramatically
660 have used the latest memory technology
LPDDR4, Dual-channel configuration, 1866MHz of speed
SD 625, LPDDR3, Single-channel, 933MHz of speed
Especially when compared with Mi A2 highest version
6Gb of RAM and 128Gb of Internal Storage
Both Androidone
are running on Pure Android OS, 8.1 Oreo
In terms of Mi A2 camera again superior
Dual Lens with 12 Plus 20 Megapixel resolution
has increased from Dual 12 Megapixel

and still have Audio jack
With so many feature improvements
it certainly has an impact on the selling price
Proven Mi A1 is now down, with a price of about $200
while the Mi A2 approximately $350
So Is it worth it upgrade from Mi A1 to Mi A2?
Hem ... so confused!
Increased indeed from all sectors
But I think not necessary
because in view of the price of
Mi A2 is still too expensive
Besides Mi A1 is still on page one of Google's Android One Web
Unless, the Mi A2 has a 6.3 inch screen with Notch.
and 90% Screen to body ratio
Maybe, I like too
So many videos this time, hopefully useful

Is it Okay for a Christian to Celebrate Halloween? - Duration: 4:08.
If you're like most people, you probably have a drawer
or two or three of old T-shirts.
You know, the ones from the run/walk you did back in 2009,
or the bar league volleyball T-shirt that you have with the clever name
from your buddy from college. Most T-shirts we don't wear,
we stick them in drawers. But I want to tell you today about
a T-shirt that I hope makes a big impact in a lot of ways.
Time of Grace is offering T-shirts that can
be yours if you request one through your donation.
A generous donor has offered to match, dollar for dollar, the first
$1,000 that we collect through these T-shirts.
And our hope is to spread the Gospel of God's timeless truth
to more and more people in the year to come.
We pray that your donation helps people understand Jesus,
his unconditional love and his crazy mercy.
And we pray that as you wear this T-shirt around, maybe someone asks,
"What's Time of Grace?"
And we don't want you to tell them just about a ministry
or website. We want you to tell them about the real reason,
the real roots of what we do:
God's grace,
the crazy love that just doesn't quit,
the joy that we have every morning because Jesus still cares,
he's still for us and he's not against us.
So we pray that we can give you some great fashion this summer.
Even more, we pray that you can give one more way for us to spread
God's amazing grace.
Halloween has become a huge deal in our nation.
It's an approximately a $7B business with approximately eight gazillion kids
going around offering ultimatums to their neighbors.
So, the question that I get is, "Is it okay for a Christian to participate in Halloween?"
So, permit a super-fast history lesson.
Halloween has its roots 2,000 years ago in the Celtic and Druid tradition of celebrating their new year.
Their new year was on November 1st and to do this, they would lite bonfires.
This is a Pagan religion.
Lite bonfires, wear animal costumes and masks, and animal sacrifices to their false gods.
Well, about 43 A.D., just about 10 years after Jesus,
the Romans come into that land of Ireland.
And you think, "Oh great! The Romans are Christian!"
Well, not exactly yet.
So now they just merge two Pagan holidays together
until about 900 when the Pope at the time
attempts to try and Christianize this holiday by moving All Saints Day from May into November 1st.
So, now we have this tradition of All Hallows Eve.
So, just by the question, "Is it okay to celebrate Halloween?"
I think we know intuitively there's something not quite right with Halloween.
So I think there's two sides to it.
On the one side we have cute trick-or-treaters in neighborhoods
getting together and bobbing for apples.
And I mean seriously, we spent $350M on pet costumes.
That's a true statement.
On the other side, though, there's a serious undercurrent of the occult, the demonic,
witches and this things that go back to these Pagan worship.
And the Bible doesn't just warn against this, the Bible says very clearly we don't want to have anything
to do with the demonic, with mediums, or anything.
The Bible says very clearly . . .
So, what do I do?
I've always let my own kids trick-or-treat.
And they can wear cute costumes,
and I let them get together with their neighborhood and I enjoy giving out candy to the neighborhood kids.
But as soon as that starts to tip in any way towards the mccobb, the demonic, the occult
we don't get near it.
Our battle, again, is not with flesh or blood.
Our battle is with the dark forces of this world.
And your spirituality, your relationship with God, is way more important.
In the end, why would we want to celebrate something so dark
when we can celebrate the life of Christ that is so beautiful?

Is Porn Ruining Sex? | Between The Lines - Duration: 6:27.
(keyboard typing)
- [Narrator] Porn is everywhere and it's easier to access
than ever before.
But porn is often seen as violent, demeaning,
unrealistic and sexist.
But is it really?
What does it say about all of us who watch it?
(button clicking) (projector whirling)
(pencil scribbling) (film humming)
(quirky jazz music) (iPhone chirping)
- If we think porn is ruining sex
we're saying that before porn became wildly popular,
everybody was having great sex.
(train horn) (woman sighing)
That's not true.
- [Narrator] Meet Lux Alptraum, she's the author of--
- Faking It The Lies Women Tell About Sex
and The Truth They Reveal.
A lot of people look to porn and say porn has this
narrative where two people just show up and
they take off their clothes and start having sex.
(rocket exploding) (woman sighing)
And that's bad.
But I would also argue that rom-coms and mainstream movies
have narratives where two people go into a room and
the clothes come off and people are just wordlessly
orgasming and that's also bad.
- [Narrator] And that's a bad thing because sex--
- Is not one thing.
It means a lot of things for a lot of different people so
even if you've mastered the orgasm of your
last 10 partners, that doesn't mean that you know how to
make your 11th partner cum.
(lotion squirting)
- [Narrator] And whether our youth are seeing
these problematic sexual tropes in porn or rom-coms,
the problem arises when they conflate sexual fantasy
with sexual normalcy.
- I've been a porn watcher since I was like a kid.
- [Narrator] For many people, their first exposure to
the mechanics of sex is through porn.
- As a young queer person, the first porn I watched
was lesbian porn.
- It taught me a lot about what gay sex involves.
- [Allie] It was one of the first depictions
I ever had about.
- [Ty] Seeing the joy on someone's face really affirms that
gay sex is natural, and fun, and not something
to be ashamed of, or scared of.
- [Allie] Porn was one of the first time I ever saw myself
represented in the media.
- [Narrator] Allie's gone from feeling represented in porn
to actually being in porn.
- I direct, produce, perform, edit and distribute
my own independent porn.
- [Narrator] And Ty is a gay pornstar.
- I've been in productions for LikeMen.com,
Treasure Island Media, Guys in Sweatpants,
Next Door Studios.
- I also have worked on porn archives specifically
Candidia Royalle's life archives for Harvard University.
- [Narrator] Impressive.
- Porn teaches us how to have sex to the same extent
that drag teaches us how to be a woman.
Which is to say it doesn't.
In fact, drag parodies gender in the same way porn
is very much a parody of sex.
- Porn's a fantasy.
(sexy techno music)
- [Lux] The problem isn't what porn shows as a possibility,
the problem is that we think there's just one way and
that we have to follow this script.
Do I think that all porn sends amazing messages
about healthy sexuality?
No but I think porn is not one thing.
I think there's a lot of porn that shows
a lot of different messages.
- [Narrator] It's also worth noting that porn--
- Doesn't have magical powers to morph the way that
we behave and our desires just because you watch
a porn in which somebody is, for example, sleeping
and then someone comes up and starts fondling them.
That's something that's not really okay in regular life
because that's rape, that's sexual assault.
But that doesn't mean that every time you watch a porn film
in which somebody gets played with while they're sleeping,
that you're going to go out and do it.
In the same way that we watch ton of actions movies
every single year
(police sirens)
yet not everyone who watches
an action movie goes out and goes in a high speed car chase.
- [Narrator] Teens aren't learning how to drive
from action movies.
That's what Driver's Ed is for.
(car crashing) (pen scribbling)
But sex education in the United States is lacking.
- [Lux] In many cases, people either don't get
sex education or when they do get sex education,
it's don't have sex.
- [Narrator] And that's why teens are turning to
porn to learn about sex.
- It's really abhorrent what passes for sex ed,
in this country.
- [Narrator] Lux got a little bit of sex ed in 6th grade.
- I got a little bit in 8th grade.
Mostly remember talking about puberty,
maybe a little bit about condoms.
- [Narrator] But not about consent and the human-to-human
interaction of sex.
Instead, maybe we should be--
- Teaching sexual education through a consent lens
versus an anatomy lens.
If you want to learn how to talk about consent before
you have sex, look to porn performers first.
If you take five more seconds to look behind the curtain
of what's actually going on in porn, you'll see that,
porn performers are the experts in consent.
- [Narrator] It sounds like we also need a lesson
in porn literacy.
- Porn literacy, yeah, that's a word I would use,
understanding the ways in which porn is made.
- It's a lot of paperwork.
- [Allie] They're spending hours negotiating boundaries.
Those boundaries, and wants, and needs, and desires are
put into writing, signed in contracts before
shooting even begins.
- [Narrator] That sounds pretty thorough.
(lotion squirting)
So is--
- Porn ruining sex?
- I reject that idea.
- [Allie] I think that's giving porn way too much credit.
- [Lux] It's placing the blame in an easy
but inaccurate place.
- [Allie] Porn exists in the same arena that rest
of the world exists in.
It's coming upon these same struggles and is
a reflection of that.
- [Narrator] Problems like racism, misogyny and transphobia.
- Rather than asking porn to change or expecting porn
to change, we as a society need to work on getting
educators the funding to do education, do education
around porn literacy, for example.
- Porn literacy needs to be a part of sex ed.
- Say, hey, you've seen this porn movie,
here's what you should understand.
- Maybe we could talk about the porn that we watch more
(laughs softly) with our friends.
- [Narrator] Sure, Ty, you first.
(seductive jazz music)

Armin van Buuren - This Is What It Feels Like (John Ewbank Classical Remix) - Duration: 3:10.
Nobody here knocking at my door
The sound of silence I can't take anymore
Nobody ringing my telephone now
Oh, how I miss such a beautiful sound
And I don't even know how I survive
I won't make it to the shore without your light
No, I don't even know if I'm alive
Oh, oh, oh, without you now
This is what it feels like
Nothing to hold but the memories and frames
Oh, they remind me of the battle I faced
Without your love, without you I drown
Somebody save me, I'm going down
And I don't even know how I survive
I won't make it down the road with one headlight
No, I don't even know if I'm alive
Oh, oh, oh, without you now
This is what it feels like
Nobody here knocking at my door...
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, without you now
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels...like.
