I can't help comparing what has just happened with that chemical reaction. I just witnessed another type of phenomenon. This one was a more physical than a chemical one. For months the ingredients had been gathered with painstaking care. The components were in the form of IFBB contests that were held all around the cou...
The night of the show was charged with more electricity than a power plant. you could feel it so strongly that you were afraid to rub your feet on a rug. This was it. The World Series and the Super Bowl all in one. Who would win Mr. America? Who would win Mr. World? Who would win Mr. Olympia? Who would be crowned the n...

So that's the ball of wax, but not the story. That is too long to tell, for too many things happened to fit into the limited space that was allowed for this special report. now listen real good -- things happened this night of nights that will make bodybuilding history brighter than ever before. There was more exciteme...

Wholly Bible: Preaching Revelation
The book to end the Book is an incredible book. Some look at it as a road map through which they can navigate modern events. Therefore they go slow. They stop to gaze at the magnificent visions in Revelation, and as they gaze they wonder exactly why it is written this way. They poke and prod, they squeeze and mix, unti...
And then there are the rest of us. On the whole, Christians look at the back of the book, and they understand that we win. That is quite enough. If you know the end, then why read it? After all, the freakish images are beyond interpretation anyway. Perhaps it’s for this reason that the book of Revelation is largely neg...
The answer is found in the first verse.
The book of Revelation, from beginning to end, is a book about Jesus. The book never gets past the first verse, “The revelation of Jesus Christ.” This is Jesus Christ revealed. You do not have to love end times prophecy to love Revelation; you simply have to love Jesus. To love Jesus is to love Him revealed.
The preposition “of” implies that this is the Revelation from Jesus Christ. 1 This is what Christ said to John. However, what Christ said is all about Christ. So Revelation is about Jesus, but more specifically it is how Christ wants us to understand Christ. This is the self-portrait of Jesus. How could this be anythin...
The challenge for the preacher is how to extract this. How do you preach the book of Revelation in a way that will give people a full glimpse of its content yet not be intimidated by the details? There are many strategies to preaching the book of Revelation. However, for this short post let’s look at one unique feature...
Revelation has a unique structure
This unique structure is identified in 1:19. John is told to “Write therefore things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this.” This has commonly been seen as an outline of the entire book. The things that he has seen: chapter 1. The things that are: chapters 2, 3. And the things t...
Remember also that this structure has a visionary feel to it. John is telling us the things that he has “seen.” The preacher’s challenge is to tell the vision. John wrote what he saw, and we speak what he wrote about that vision. In the translation process, make sure that people see what you are saying. 2 Because of th...
Mix it up.
Since there are shifts in the genre, there can be shifts in the sermon structure. A sermon from chapter 1 might feel like it has too much biblical backgrounds information for our liking, but it is a necessary framework for the message that is coming. The letters to the churches are favorite preaching material. They are...
Point to the structure from time to time.
The book seems like a labyrinth. The listener may wonder how they will wade through all of the information that is coming their way. It is always wise to point to the macro-structure of a book and maybe more so in Revelation than in other books. This will help them see the momentum of the book, leading up to the climac...
A good way to do this would be to present the book visually as you preach through it, assuming the technology is available. There is much that video technology cannot do, but one thing that it can do well is provide a view of the macro structure of a book. People will enjoy seeing where you are, and this will create mu...
Preach the Text not the System
In the seminary context in which I live, when you talk about Revelation the question that follows is often, “Well, what are you?” The question is not begging for your nationality or college football allegiance, rather the question is trying to identify your eschatological disposition. In other words are you a-mill, pre...

1. See Grant Osborne, Baker Exegetical, Revelation, p. 52. Osborne understands the preposition as a subjective genitive, not an objective genitive, thus it is revelation “from” Jesus, not necessarily about Jesus. Yet, it is no matter since the content of so much of the book is the identity of Christ.
2. See Kostenburger, 532. Kostenburger and Patterson provide an outline of the book based on the visions of the book 558-59.

Bill O'Reilly: The biggest failure of the Obama administration
By Bill O'Reilly
In order for more than 300 million Americans to have a chance at prosperity, you need a vibrant economy. At this point the USA does not have one. And that is now on President Obama.
As you may know, the President's economic vision is focused on so- called economic justice, giving help to Americans who don't have very much, providing vast federal entitlements means big spending and big taxation. Also the President doesn't seem to trust the capitalistic system therefore he has instituted new regulat...
So the social justice economic plan is failing. The U.S. economy is stagnant as are wages for working Americans, thus quality of life is going down in this country.
Here are the facts to back that statement up. Seven out of eight jobs created during the Obama administration have been part time jobs; 54 percent of American workers make less than $30,000 a year. When Mr. Obama took office, the average duration of unemployment paid to an individual was 20 weeks. Now it's 37 weeks. Th...
When Mr. Obama took office, the trade deficit with China was $268 billion last year. It had risen to $315 billion. The U.S. poverty rate now stands at 16 percent, that number is higher -- higher -- than when the war on poverty began in 1965. Americans receiving food stamps in the President's first term increased by 11,...
Finally health insurance premiums in the USA have increased 29 percent since the President took office. So by nearly every measure, working Americans are not in good shape economically. The Democrats put the blame on income inequality and want even more federal intrusion into the economy. Republicans want the exact opp...
"Talking Points" well understands that wages rise when workers are in demand. Today in America, competition for jobs is driving down wages because there are not enough jobs. Only business expansion will turn that dire situation around. Why President Obama doesn't seem to understand that, I simply don't know.
And that's "The Memo."

It's already the 6th snowiest December in Indy ever...
We're also experiencing the coldest December in a decade.

hehehe, it really torks my progressive friends when I say that. They usually come back with some lame remark about "Global Climate Change". Thats good, they'll just keep changing the terminology until they get it right, dumbasses.

In the year 1000 AD there was no snow anywhere in the lower 48. Vikings made the mistake of colonizing Iceland and Greenland only to be driven away generations later by global cooling.
The pendulum swings. BFD.

Ehhh, mornings are chilly, but mid-day is nice. Been getting a lot of yardwork caught up. Getting rid of dead trees, cutting the azaleas back, raking pine needles and pulling moss.
Rather pleasant, really.

If Al Gore stops by here, I intend to slug him. And then push his face into the snowpile next to my garage, which is getting as large as the one I remember from about, oh, 1968.
Clearly he was not bullied enough as a child.

You folks haven't kept up. It isn't global warming anymore; it's climate change. And, it explains everything from hot, dry summers to the coming ice age. The only way to slow it down is to give all power and allegiance to Algore.

Here in sunny California, we have had a horrid outbreak of rain. The wind (Pineapple Express) blows from Hawaii, bringing wet weather. A lot of the traffic lights don't work, but we don't have to do any shoveling unless in hilly areas it turns into a mudslide.
Just thought you might like to know how the other half lives.

Snow in December near the Great Lakes? Inconceivable!

Man, I WANT to accept the whole Global Climate Change thing, except all those studys done by so-called scientists in the last 20 years prove, absolutely, that the entire earth was warming, and anyone disagreeing was a stupid stinky pants uneducated brute repugnant. Now, those same people STILL want to call names and ac...
