Since there are no derogatory statements about any of them, I didn’t see the need to get permission to include their approval before mentioning their names. Since the historicity is described from the perspective of the writer, it must be understood that these stories reflect my history. Others may have a different perspective. Such was the case when Jesus delivered the demoniac in the land of the Gadarenes. Matthew was not with Jesus during this exorcism but was introduced to him immediately afterwards. When Matthew wrote the story, he said Jesus encountered two demon- possessed men. Mark and Luke also wrote the historical accounts. Both Mark 5:2 and Luke 8:27 record only one demon possessed man met Jesus. While some people may deny the story actually took place because they couldn’t agree on the facts of whether there was one or two men, the fact remains that Jesus cast out demons and they went into a herd of swine, which all of three of the gospel writers attest. Others may remember the stories in this book differently but like I said when I used to umpire baseball games, “I call them like I see them.” Some of the information gathered in this book was obtained from alumni websites at the time of this writing. Other testimonials were obtained three years early when I helped Dr. Dennis Lindsay do research for his dissertation. Because books usually outlive people, it must be understood by the reader that the dates and people mentioned in this book were accurate at the time it was written. Some of the Bible School directors mentioned may currently be serving the Lord in some other capacity and not as the Director of the Bible School mentioned. 8 Dedication Typically, a book is dedicated to the cherished relationships of the author. This book is no different, it is dedicated to the people of Christ For The Nations. It commemorates over 45,000 staff, students and alumni who have sat in the Institute Building and experienced the presence of the Lord. Christ For The Nations is comprised of missionaries on every inhabitable continent and Bible Schools Directors who model the ministry in Dallas. It includes the many speakers who have made tremendous impartations to the students since 1970. It includes the fifteen directors who has provided leadership and vision during their tenure. Christ For The Nations includes all the faculty who have studied to show themselves approved and passionately filled the minds and hearts of eager students seeking to know their Lord in a greater way. Christ For The Nations includes every Board Member who provided oversight to the leaders since 1948 and the hundreds of Advisory Council Members who helped leadership pave the way through new territories. Christ For The Nations includes people around the world who have never touched the 85 acres of land on which the campus sits. It also includes friends of the ministry who sacrificed and obeyed the voice of God to help pay for the property and buildings that have been dedicated for the Master’s use. Christ For the Nations is more than an organization or ministry, it is the legacy of Gordon and Freda Lindsay, their children and grandchildren and those who will follow in their footsteps to impart the gospel of Jesus Christ to all humanity. Christ For The Nations is not a location but rather people to whom God gave my family and me the privilege to learn, to serve and to sacrifice. It has been these relationships where we have shared the blessings since 1983. It is to all of you cherished ones that my family dedicates Historicity and Values of Christ For The Nations. 9 INTRODUCTION In December 1985, after concluding my final teaching session in Prayer and Intercession for that semester, I received a handwritten notice from Freda Lindsay requesting me to visit her office immediately after class. That word “immediately” sounded serious and like any student called into the principal’s office, my heart raced in anticipation of some wrongdoing. I could not think of any misbehavior except for the final class when all exams were completed and Dr. Duane Weiss and I joined our classes together for a final day of relief and laughter. Rehearsing the class events, I wondered if it was my singing off tune or the humorous monologue at which no one laughed that had gotten me into trouble. The mind can play funny tricks sometimes; mine produced a nervous laughter. I was shaking like a fifty-cent ladder as I walked into her office but after a few minutes, I left highly elated, walking out with a smile. She had just offered me the position of Dean of Students. I thought, “Now what do I do?” Learning the role and responsibility of one’s job is important. You never know when you might be asked to do the same job again. Such was the case a few years after I returned from Jamaica. In 1993, a restructure of the organization opened the opportunity for me to once again become the Dean of Students.

  • STATES of JERSEY R
    STATES OF JERSEY r DRAFT STATES OF JERSEY (AMENDMENT No. 5) LAW 200- (P.183/2007): SECOND AMENDMENTS (P.183/2007 AMD.(2)) – COMMENTS Presented to the States on 11th January 2007 by the Privileges and Procedures Committee STATES GREFFE COMMENTS Deputy de Faye is proposing 3 amendments to PPC’s proposals – (1) to increase the mandate of Senators to 8 years; (2) to restrict the senatorial position to candidates who have been States members for at least 12 months; and (3) to allow the Chief Minister to propose a ministerial ‘reshuffle’ after any by-election. The Privileges and Procedures Committee does not support these amendments even though they do not fundamentally undermine the Committee’s proposal to move to a 4 year cycle for the Assembly. In relation to the first proposed amendment PPC believes that an 8 year term for Senators would be far too long. The Committee considers that an effective parliamentary democracy requires the renewal of the mandate of elected members at regular intervals. Issues of concern and circumstances can change quickly in any society and are unlikely to remain constant over an 8 year period. Research undertaken by PPC (see Appendix) shows that most Commonwealth parliamentarians are required to face the electorate at intervals of between 3 to 5 years with only a few having terms of 6 years. A senatorial term in Jersey of 8 years would therefore appear to be almost unique in the Commonwealth. It is of note that the French Presidential term of 7 years was reduced to 5 years in 2002 and the 9 year term of French Senators reduced to 6 years in 2003.

Furthermore, the Irish nation cherishes its special affinity with people of Irish ancestry living abroad who share its cultural identity and heritage. Since the Irish Constitution was adopted in 1937, those in the North, the Irish living overseas and the Diaspora have been considered to be an integral part of the Irish Nation.

  • The Case for Replacing Article II Treaties with Ex Post Congressional-Executive Agreements
    The Case for Replacing Article II Treaties With Ex Post Congressional-Executive Agreements By Oona A. Hathaway November 2008 All expressions of opinion are those of the author or authors. The American Constitution Society (ACS) takes no position on specific legal or policy initiatives. The Case for Replacing Article II Treaties With Ex Post Congressional- Executive Agreements Oona A. Hathaway* I. Introduction In the fall of 2007, Senate hearings finally commenced on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, a treaty that has been languishing in the Senate since 1994, when Bill Clinton was still a fresh face in the White House. Submitted to the Senate under the Treaty Clause of the Constitution,1 the treaty must gain the consent of two-thirds of the Senate in order to become law for the United States—a hurdle it has been unable to clear for over a decade because of a small but determined opposition. Meanwhile, free trade agreements between the United States and Peru, Colombia, and Panama are also up for approval. But these agreements are proceeding not through the Treaty Clause but as “congressional-executive agreements,” subject to approval by a majority of both houses of Congress. Signed in 2006, one has already been approved by Congress. As these examples show, the process for making binding international agreements in the United States today proceeds along two separate but parallel tracks: one that excludes the House of Representatives and another that includes it, one that requires a supermajority vote in the Senate and another that does not, one that is expressly laid out in the Constitution and one that is not.2 Of the two methods for making international law in the United States, the Treaty Clause—which requires a two-thirds vote in the Senate and bypasses the House of Representatives—is the better known; it is principally used to conclude agreements on human rights, taxation, environment, arms control, and extradition.
