A coworker at the deli I worked at responded with a common Cphrase about the Gospel: “Religion is just a crutch.” I replied that Christianity is not, in fact, a crutch. Christianity is a wheelchair. A crutch assumes we had or will gain the ability to walk. The Bible says we cannot. Suddenly she was listening. While training staff for a day camp, I mentioned that anyone who says people are innately good has never worked with children. Many of the staff were students at Penn State. This did not sit well with them. Various rebuttals were fired at me. None of them had worked with kids yet, surprising for education majors. Two hours into camp a young lady storms up to me, finger pointed and tersely said, “Don’t say a word. You were right.” Positive thinking is looking at reality and then seeking out a solution. The Gospel is a positive story, but “The Law” is that hard dose of reality. The bottom line of the law: We are all broken. The solution? Jesus died and rose again to fix that. So, take a deep breath, and this week we learn how bad we are first. Walk through these 11 verses and pick out where the law comes from, list the problem, and list how it affects you. Read The "Law" of The Problem My Problem Romans 1:18-23 Romans 2:14-16 Romans 2:17-24 Read The “Law” of The problem My problem Romans 1:18-23 Romans 2:14-16 Romans 2:17-24 Paul gives us three “laws” from God: Nature, our conscience, and the Law (first 5 books of the Old Testament). If we violate any of these we are? _______________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Is the problem with God or with us? In these passages do we really want God, and can we really be perfect/ just/ right/ etc.? ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Paul concludes his thought on the law. Read Romans 3:21-23. True or false, we are all broken and why? ____________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 12 It gets worse… Read Ephesians 2:1-3. How does Paul describe people before they trusted Jesus? ______________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ What do dead people do? Can dead people save themselves? ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ It gets even worse than that… Ever hear the advice “oh, just follow your heart?” Read what Jeremiah 17:9-11 says. Why is following your heart bad advice? ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ What will be the end result if we follow our heart? ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Oh, way way way worse! Romans 7 deals with a critical issue, is the law good? The Law is a good thing, but there is a problem. We cannot follow the law! Here is how following the Law worked out for Paul: Read Romans 7:13-24 and Philippians 3:4-7 Where did the Law get Paul? ________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 13 How can Paul say he was stuck in Romans 7 and yet say he was blameless in Philippians 3? (Hint: Ever put on a smile when stepping out of your car at a gathering after arguing on the way there?) Recap, and it gets worse. In our brief discussion on “The Law,” we learn that we are horrible, awful, deceitful, foolish, misguided, really bad, dead people. In these discussions, people often say that the environment is the problem. There is one HUGE problem with that response. Read Genesis 1:31. In Genesis 1 and 2, the world is perfect and without sin. God even walked with Adam and Eve. They had ONE LAW; Do not eat of the tree of good and evil lest you die. Satan deceives them saying “you will not surely die” (Genesis 3:1-4). Read Genesis 4:8, Genesis 5, Romans 6:23. In a perfect environment, with one law, and with God meeting them face-to-face, what did Adam and Eve do? What was the result? We need a wheelchair, not a crutch. The Bible teaches that you and I are horribly broken. It does not mean we do the worst things possible, but we could. God even gives us instruction on what He wants for our best, but we cannot follow it. Try as hard as we will; we are stuck sinning. We cannot be perfect even when we try. In the 20th century, we had the most scientific and engineering expansion in world history. We had more access to education and literacy than any other period. We had more secular human governments than ever before. At the pinnacle of human 14 achievement, knowledge, government, and education, we witnessed more humans being killed unjustly than any point in human history. The law of nature failed us. The law of human conscience failed us. The law can only show us for what we are: Broken. It gets better Read Romans 5:6-8. Despite our brokenness and our weakness, what did Jesus do for us? ___________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Positive thinking is looking at reality and seeking a solution. We cannot ignore our brokenness, but it should not be our focus. We do not have to stay broken. The rest of this guide we will seek the solution. What are you most looking toward to as we share “My Story”? ____________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 15 16 TESTIMONY 1 RYAN STORY Student Pastor efore I ended up at The River Church, I went to The Rock in Fenton. This was the first church I ever willingly Bstepped foot in. Now when I was 23, I had my view of what religion was. I knew what Christianity was. I was a smart guy. I made an informative, logical decision of what and who I believed god was (note the emphasis of the lowercase g). A girl who I was dating at the time invited me to church one night, and I remember her telling me about her crazy pastor. I went to church and truly loved listening to this man. To be honest, I could have cared less about the Jesus he was preaching about at that time, but I loved the morality, I loved the public speaking ability, I loved seeing a man truly love and encourage people. It blew my mind that this man would come and shake my hand every week I was there. His first message I ever heard him preach was about changing. “You do not want to be the same person you are in 2007 as you will be in 2008.” I was hooked; I wanted to become better.

VANDERBILT JOURNAL OF ENTERTAINMENT AND TECHNOLOGY LAW VOLUME 15 WINTER 2013 NUMBER 2 Copyright Infringement of Music: Determining Whether What Sounds Alike Is Alike Margit Livingston* and Joseph Urbinato** ABSTRACT The standard for copyright infringement is the same across different forms of expression. But musical expression poses special challenges for courts deciding infringement disputes because of its unique attributes. Tonality in Western music offers finite compositional choices that will be pleasing or satisfying to the ear. The vast storehouse of existing public domain music means that many of those choices have been exhausted. Although independent creation negates plagiarism, the inevitable similarity among musical pieces within the same genre leaves courts in a quandary as to whether defendant composers infringed earlier copyrighted works or simply found their own way to a similar melody, harmony, rhythm, or formal structure.

  • Ya Estaba Tardando En Dar Señales De Vida El Predicador Progresivo Neal
    Metal Symphony http://www.metalsymphony.com Ya estaba tardando en dar señales de vida el predicador progresivo Neal Morse, que tras su gira con Transatlantic y su directo “So many Roads” vuelve con otro disco en estudio. Nada más y nada menos que con la segunda entrega de su “Testimony”, después de 9 años que sacó la primera parte. Al igual que la primera parte donde narraba su conversión hacia el cristianismo, esta segunda parte también habla sobre su vida, teniendo así una “autobiografía musical” en estas dos horas que dura el compacto. Siguiendo con la tradición de parte de sus discos, encontramos multitud de colaboraciones como las de Nick D’Virgilio, Alan Morse, Steve Morse (Deep Purple), Paul Bielatowicz (Carl Palmer Band), o miembros de la orquesta Nashville Symphony; acompañando al power trio ya clásico de Morse ( voz, teclados, guitarras ) Randy George al bajo y Mike Portnoy a la batería. Lejos de ser una precuela, una historia parecida,o que siguiera el hilo argumental del anterior lanzamiento… Este comienza en la parte que acabó el anterior, dividido en dos partes más con cuatro canciones cada una rodando los 22 minutos menos la última pasando 10 minutos más. Mientras que en el segundo disco encontramos tres temas, con el último de 25 minutos de duración. Ya nos sorprende el primer tema del primer disco “Mercy Street”, de carácter, sinfónico y épico, muy pomposo, digno de ser un final de disco y no un inicio. En este primer corte vemos la influencia Beatle y Queen de Morse, mezclada con su teclado dando el regusto a progresivo de los 70.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA An Examination of the Foundation and Activation of the Cooperation of Laity and Pastors in the Munus Docendi in Catechesis according to Canon 776 A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Canon Law Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor in Canon Law By Zabrina R. Decker Washington, D.C. 2016 An Examination of the Foundation and Activation of the Cooperation of Laity and Pastors in the Munus Docendi in Catechesis according to Canon 776 Zabrina R. Decker, J.C.D. Director: Rev. Robert J. Kaslyn, S.J., J.C.D. Canon 776 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law establishes the obligation of the pastor to provide catechetical formation and responsibility of laity to cooperate in such formation.1 This study uniquely focuses on the foundation and activation of the cooperation of the lay Christian faithful with pastors in catechesis. Such cooperation derives from baptism (both the right to witness to the gospel message [c. 211] and the correlative obligation of suitable preparation to exercise that right [c. 229]). Chapter one establishes baptism as the canonical foundation for incorporation, personhood and catechetical responsibility in the Church. From this constitutive basis, chapter two presents the ecclesiology of the sanctifying, governing and teaching (catechetical) mission of the Church for both laity and pastors. Conciliar, ecclesial and canonical definitions of catechesis are the focus of chapter three. Chapter four explores the definition of the lay Christian faithful as derived from their ontological status in baptism.

  • FF Bosworth and the Pentecostal Pursuit of the Supernatural
    ABSTRACT Living in Bible Times: F.F. Bosworth and the Pentecostal Pursuit of the Supernatural Christopher J. Richmann, Ph.D. Chairperson: C. Douglas Weaver, Ph.D. This study examines American pentecostalism using the healing evangelist F.F. Bosworth as an interpretive lens. Bosworth’s formative experiences, long-running success, and influence on pentecostal culture situate him as a representative leader. Yet his resistance to majority doctrine and lack of durable denominational ties challenges traditional definitions of pentecostalism, driving to the conclusion that pentecostal identity lies in the pursuit of the supernatural inherited from the nineteenth-century holiness movement rather than in doctrinal markers or connections to the Azusa Street revival. Bosworth’s life story structures the dissertation, providing the most comprehensive biography of Bosworth to date. Experiences with Methodist revivalism, divine healing, and spirit-baptism reveal Bosworth as a typical pentecostal leader-in-the- making. Like numerous influential pentecostals, Bosworth had no significant connections to the Azusa Street revival. His early ministry and facilitation of a crucial revival in Dallas in 1912 established him as a leader in the young pentecostal movement, and his work with the Assemblies of God placed him in the mainstream who sought organizational stability for pentecostalism. In 1918, Bosworth publically rejected the tongues evidence doctrine, forcing his departure from the Assemblies of God. But his subsequent fame as a healing evangelist and the impact of his Christ the Healer (1924) demonstrate that he continued to represent and shape the supernaturalist impulse of pentecostalism. And while Bosworth’s British- Israel teaching was widely disparaged by full gospel believers, this teaching was embraced by many influential early pentecostals.
