Ps 136 1 - 26

David is not author, Hezikah is. Mercy is what God desires to do for us to pour out his love for us. And this is forever.

135 and 136 are sister Psalms by Hezikah. 120 -134 are Psalms of degrees. These are a good ending to them. They contain information about creation, Israel, wisdom of worshiping the true God.

1. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

God is a good God. He wants to show his goodness to us, not strike us down. Leave it in His hand. God can turn cursing into blessing. We do not need to know how, just that he will.

2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.

We serve the God of Gods. We see terrorism in name of Islam, God is up to the challenge. He did this for Moses with Pharaoh, as well as Elijah at Mt Carmel.

3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Here we talk of Jesus. He is the Lord of Lords.

4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.

No matter what great things happen in your life, God is the one that brings it to pass. God is the one.

MSNBC - NYC Mayor to Probe Arrest of Mike Wallace

MSNBC - NYC Mayor to Probe Arrest of Mike Wallace

The inspectors said they asked Wallace to step away from the car, but he refused, and lunged at one of them, TLC spokesman Allan Fromberg told The New York Post.

"I'm an 86-year-old man," Wallace told the Post. "For whatever reason, this guy and his buddy were intent upon telling me that I was interfering with the execution of the law."

Anyone who thinks that a 86 year old man cannot be violent in a lunge obviously did not watch Don Zimmer durring last years World Series games. I would guess that Wallace thinks he is a star and above the law, but that is just a guess on my part.

Matt 24
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

We minister to them, do not let their lawlessness affect us. How do we help a Christian who needs help?

1 Cor 12
25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care, one for another.
26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it.

Everyone is a minister of the gospel, especially to fellow Christians. Others have helped us; we need to pass that on to others.

Gal 6
1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5 For every man shall bear his own burden.

1. We all have faults. This verse says not to be overtaken by then. Every believer is to grow so that they can be self sustaining.


2. The spiritually strong are to restore the spiritually weak. Restore is a medical term to put a dislocated bone in place. Put someone back in place. We are to do this in meekness, in humbleness, a teachable attitude. Not as a know it all.


3. Bear one another's burden. Burden is a heavy weight. God's burden is not heavy. If burden is heavy we are not right with God.


4. Verse three tells us to think of yourself as nothing. Others can live without us. We are not ones helping, spirit is.


5. You will be judged by your own works. People are not notches on your gun. Help others to be dependant on God, not on yourself. Your relationship with God is the most important.


6. Verse 5 burden means a light weight. You are to reach this point.


7. There are blessings attached to helping others.

James 5
19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Your help is powerful; you can even help restore years to a person.

Stanard disclaimer: All verses are King James version. All notes are based on what I heard and are not necessarily the point that the speaker was trying to get across.

I have not kept up to dat with sermon notes and will try to fill that void since I am on vacation from work this week and schools the next 2 as well.

Matt 24
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

We are to change the world not it change us.

We are to be at the work of helping restore believers

2 Tim 2
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

We can find sin in the men of ministry. Ministries have lowered the standards. Large crowds do not mean ministries are good, teaching word of God does. Everyone should live a clean character.

1 Tim 4
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

We are in the later times. Some will depart from the faith (people). Then ministers, speakers of hypocrisies, will fall. They may not be salvageable.
If people do not follow false teachers false teachers will cease to exist. Power is in the people.

2 Tim 4
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from, the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

People are the ones with itching ears. People will seek those ministers who scratch them.

1 Cor 14
8 For, if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

Pastor blows the trumpet, if it is not clear people will not know what to do. Ministers must live what they preach.
Acts 20:20 and 1 Pet 5 are examples to the flock.

It is not up to people to be strong it is the leaders reasonability. Commitment comes from pastor to people, and then people will commit to pastor.
2 Cor 12:14

The Union Leader and New Hampshire Sunday News - 23-Jul-04 - You?re no good:
Linda Ronstadt is a bigot:

"This is an election year, and I think we're in desperate trouble and it's time for people to speak up and not pipe down. It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know.? "

When will they understand, I want to be entertained by them not hear their views. And I am sorry Linda, since you hate Christians so much, I will make sure not to go to your concerts or buy your products. Would not want to make you upset knowing that money you make comes from me.

InfoWorld: First Windows CE virus emerges: July 19, 2004: By : APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT : SECURITY
More info on the Pocket Windows virus. Not sure it affects me, as it only spreads on ARM Ltd. processors. Of course it is a proof of concept virus so it should not ever really get up (RIGHT).

The first PocketPC virus is now known as WinCE.Duts.1520.

This case is very similar to the Symbian Cabir worm which was found a month ago.

This is a new proof-of-concept virus. It has not been found in the wild. It's been written by a member of the 29A virus-writing group. The worm is not known to be spreading in the wild at all. It will be never become a problem in the real world.

Unlike Cabir, Duts is a traditional parasitic virus. It infects other programs in the PocketPC PDA, and spreads from one PDA to another when people exchange programs (for example, by beaming a game).

When an infected file is executed the virus asks for permission to infect:

When granted the permission, Duts attempts to infect all EXE files in the current directory.

Duts contains two messages that are not displayed:

One is a reference to the science-fiction book Permutation City by Greg Egan, where the virus got its intended name from:

As usual, virus writers don't get to name their viruses - we do. So we named it Duts instead of Dust.

The other message is:

 This is proof of concept code. Also, i wanted to make avers happy.
 The situation when Pocket PC antiviruses detect only EICAR file had to end ....

Do note that this virus would also be capable of infecting mobile phones running ARM-based version of PocketPC.

F-Secure have shipped an update for F-Secure Anti-virus for PocketPC to detect WinCE.Duts.1520.

Read eWeek's editorial on the issue.

Sermon Notes

July 4, 2004 Grace Fellowship 11:15am

Bob Yandian

Matt 24:12
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Many Christians are hiding in fear of the world

2 TIM 2
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

He will keep you. God wants us to depart from Iniquity. In dealing with sin, run from it then think instead of thinking about it and then run.

22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Involvement with sin is immaturity (youthful lust). What type of companions do you have? With them that call on the Lord? Surround yourself with Christian friends.

1 Tim 3

2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

1) Be a one woman man, the same for wife.
2) Deliverance: how to get it
3) Admit it was your fault. You have control over you, not eve god can control you unless you let him.
4) Admit it is a sin. It is not a problem or a mistake.
5) Confession and repentance; to God, spouse, and ones you hurt. Time involved in healing of spouse may be longer than you
6) Remove self from sin source
7) Get involved in church, god, etc.. Get involved in prayer, and with mate.

Sin in ministry

2 Tim 4

10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world,

Your sin will find you out. There is a difference between fruit of ministry and fruit of character. Character will eventually catch up with you. Tree is known by fruit (character). Sin is self centered.

James 3

1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

Yahoo to Trillian: Talk to the hand | CNET News.com:

"'By making frequent protocol changes, it is our expectation that spammers will be blocked from abusing our system to spam our users,' Osako [of Yahoo] said. "

Yahoo needs to step up and finding ways of blocking people from harvesting user names. Closing the door to Trillian will not help at all.

The RSS Paradox:

"That point is where the designated deliverer of exposition calls up the Great Guiding Principle of time-travel projects, wherein the immutable laws of screwing around with time dictate that nothing can be changed in the past, lest the universe be rented because the character's dog would therefore never be born, leading to cascading series of unintended consequences such as incomprehensible run-on sentences like this one. "

I have always felt like this guy.. rest of the article deals with RSS and personal video recorers and how the technologies can be combined.
