The Sins of the Flesh: “Un-belief”
Mans wisdom and knowledge of the universe comes not from their own knowledge or efforts, it comes from the power and delegation from God to give to those, whom He wills, that knowledge.
Man has always tried to better himself above the Creator of all. We saw this in Babel and beyond. When we see man unsatisfied by the laws and statutes that God has directed for man, he has always come up with some other god to worship or none at all, so that he will not be hindered by law and commandments.
Mark 7:20-23 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness; All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. In mans search for a better way of life, he has forgotten where and from whom he has came from.
The sins of the flesh is tied directly to the sins of the spirit or Mind. In these last days man has tried his best to remove God from his knowledge for it has become a thorn in his side. Not being able to do those things that his flesh desires to do. 1Co 2:14 But the natural man(The man of the Flesh) receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness( a hindrance) unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Mans wisdom and knowledge cannot understand the scriptures neither can he understand God.
He is held by his so called science and limited understanding of the natural world around him. That is the reason that man must repent and return to the creator of all things, so that he will be able to understand salvation and destruction. 1Co 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. Because an un-believer of the largest state in mind and spirit, cannot understand the Love of God for them, the scriptures that we preach are nothing but foolishness to them, for the simple fact that they don’t believe in anything that they cannot see with the natural eyes. 1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God because this knowledge was already know to God before the foundation of the world and these things that man places great prize in knowing is useless to God. For to create God thinks, To destroy, God thinks, to build, God thinks. Is there anything in this world, that you know that man has ever created from nothing? I think not, for man has not the power to create from nothing.
These sins; adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness, Effeminacy, Rape all come from un-belief and lust of pleasing the flesh. God forces no man to believe, so many take the Bible as a Book written by man as a way of expressing his own views of life.
Titus 3:10-11; A man that is an heretick = ( A person who dissents from the doctrine of an established church: Dissenter, Schismatic, Noncomformist ) after the first and second admonition = (Words expressive of strong disapproval: rebuke, reprimand, reproach, scolding. Advice to beware, as of a person or thing: warning, caution) reject ( Put Him to the side stay away from); Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. The time is coming that God will do as He said, He will turn them ( The Un-believer) into a reprobate with a reprobate mind, let them believe a lie and be damned for eternity.
Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Rom 1:28-32; And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. If these heretic’s say they don’t believe in the Bible then why do they spend most of the energy and life on trying to prove that the Bible is False? Why do they go to great lengths to dig up past city’s and books and temples? Why do they create for themselves other religions, Scientology, Budism, Satanism, ect.? Is it because of the fear of being wrong? I think so.
Isa 27:11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Is the sin of the flesh worth not knowing God? Is the sins of the Flesh worth spending eternity in Torment?

The Power of Connections
The uniform response when quizzing people on what exactly it is that givers Peter Sutherland the winning edge is that his unique mix of charisma and robustness has served him well over the years. Peter Sutherland was a key figure in negotiating the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and it has been well documented that in order to get the accord passed, he sometimes kept negotiators at the table late into the night. The deal came together after many years of negotiations, and the very gavel he used throughout now has a prominent place on his desk in London where he serves as chairman of the arm of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. that oversees Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
It was back in the mid nineties when he rejoined Goldman Sachs, where where previously he had a position as an adviser. Eugene Fife then head of the firm’s London office recruited him after they met on a London-to-New York flight. Not only current but also former Goldman Sachs employees say Mr. Sutherland gave the bank a boost when it was trying to break into Europe.
It’s uniformly accepted that Peter was ideal for winning business away from some of London’s most illustrious and well established banks as well as European financial firms. He brought with him a stable of high-level contacts. Not only that but he is also known to be close to Italian Prime Minister Prodi. In more recent times he has been known to accompany former Goldman CEO Henry Paulson on trips to Russia and China before Paulson became treasury secretary last year. Not only this, he also helped forge a relationship between Goldman and Mittal Steel Co. That paid dividends when Mittal hired Goldman as lead banker in its $39 billion takeover of Arcelor SA last year. By all accounts Peter Sutherland has been instrumental in some keys bits of business which have had a massive impact on the development of Goldman.
Acquire Cheap Cricket Equipment on the Internet Today
When you are just about to begin to play cricket it’s not always straightforward to know what you need to get. If you go into a sports shop and ask them what you need, you will probably finish up coming out with loads of equipment that you don’t need. Hence, it’s reasonable to clearly understand what you will need ahead of you going shopping. That way you are considerably more likely to buy what you require, rather than what the shop owner advises you require.
Below, is essentially a detailed cricket equipment list, you do not require to get all the gear on this list, as a significant number of organisations will lend you kit in particular at youth level:
Cricket whites, cricket bats, balls, helmets, gloves, batting (wicket keeping) inner gloves, wicket keeping gloves, batting pads, wicket keeping pads, box, chest pad, arm guard, inner thigh pad, cricket boots (bowling boots; batting boots), box (groin guard), stumps and bails. Find the latest offers on cricket equipment, bats and balls at Sportswear-Equipment.com
For most cricket events you will ever play you will need to have your own set of whites. Cricket whites include white cricket trousers & a cricket shirt. It is therefore important to ensure that you purchase a suitable pair of cricket trousers as well as a good white cricket shirt & jumper as it can get pretty cold if you are standing out on the pitch for a considerably long time in particular if plan to play in England (the start and end of the season are the coldest).
If you can not borrow kit from your club the other most crucial items of equipment are a cricket bat & box. A high-quality cricket bat is critical if you want to score tons of runs and is a very personal piece of cricket equipment, spend a few hours picking your bat, if at all possible you ought to go to a sports shop & pick one up before you buy so you know how it feels to hit with. When you know what you want you can often buy bats on the World Wide Web considerably cheaper). You need a good box to guard your groin from the ball, as getting hit down below’ is tremendously painful, so investing in a good box before you start is a must – you can not bat without one.

Words of Wisdom – Proverbs 10:1 By Stanley T. Crawford
A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is the grief of his mother. Proverbs 10:1
As a general rule, a mother will grieve and worry about a child no matter what the child’s behavior. On the other hand, men will show empathy, but will not worry to the same degree as women will.
This is not bad or good, but reflects the difference between men and women. Also, it attests to the differences in a mother and a father.
As your guide, ask yourself these questions:
As a man, should I show a little more concern, or am I at the right balance of concern for the situation?
As a woman, should I worry a little less, or am I at the right balance of concern for the situation?

Mobile Broad Band will soon be the Secret to the Future of Internet Connections
Mobile broadband has been advertised as the latest discovery in the internet world which is increasingly looking like it holds the turning point to the future of high speed internet. Up until recently, high speed internet has been provided via a traditional phone landline, ADSL connection, that brings internet access to your computer via an ADSL modem. WI FI high speed connection will be very spread, whereby the fast internet modem is linked to the PC thanks to a wireless intranet, and people are now ridding their homes of cables. But mobile broadband is pushing internet further and offering another idea in the evolution of internet; a broadband line pretty much in all the house without the use of a traditional telephone landline cable. Get your hands on the best mobile broadband packages.
The prospect of browsing internet using a fast high speed internet connection at home is an attractive idea to potential users, especially those people that generally use their laptops not from home. Business people who travel a lot for business are the potential users for mobile broad-band because they will surely love the chance of not having to search at all for a wi-fi spot for a very fast connection. Mobile broad-band goes further than that, and as soon as costs soon start to be more and more affordable and internet connection lines go up we will soon experience the broadband customers buying mobile fast speed connection.
Mobile high speed connection works by connecting a portable modem to a laptop, generally called a ‘dongle’, from where your laptop is able to go online using the mobile broad-band package the internet users have subscribed for. Most companies are now supplying mobile high speed internet packages and coverage of the networks, very popular as three G networks, which now covers around 90% of England.
Broad band speed is a key factor for any high speed connection connection and mobile broadband suppliers a few years ago had some problems to persuade users that mobile high speed connection could be as fast as traditional, landline internet. Connections are improving, recently Vodafone has reported mobile broadband speeds as fast as more than 7 mb, which is similar to some of the normal landline internet broadband. The majority of the countries, including the United Kingdom, have decided to invest huge resources in fibre optic cable networks, in an attempt to speed up broadband speeds to up to 100 mb.
In New Zealand a famous telecom company has announced that mobile high speed connection networks will soon increase rapidly in the next future and they have announced that mobile broadband could push speeds of up to 100mb in the next three years, which is the year when the UK’s fibre optic network is to be delivered. This could create a major change in industry thinking, with the discovery of an efficient super fast mobile high speed connection network with serious advantages over the laying of thousands of kilometers of fibre optic cables, not least from a practical point of view.
“I Have Nothing To Say!” Overcoming The Fear Of Writing
You have worked hard on your business and now the time has come. You keep reading that you should do it and all the benefits of it, but the thought terrifies you! You’ve been putting it off, but eventually you know you are going to have to do it. Okay so today is the day, after all nothing is being done putting it off and your fear certainly isn’t getting any smaller. So this it, you are psyched and ready, poised with pen in hand or computer in front of you wait…and wait… You discover you only have one thought in your head at this moment “I have nothing to say!” You were afraid of this. How are you suppose to write any articles when your mind goes completely blank at the thought of it? Ok not completely blank, you have thoughts, but not the kind that are going to actually help you. These thoughts are your Fears and reasons why you think you can’t do this.
Have you ever felt this way when you think about writing that first article? If so, I hope this article will help you overcome your Fear of writing.
The Biggest Fear – “I have nothing to say!”
You never know when a great idea will come to you. Keep a pen and paper handy. When you get an idea about what you want to say then Write it down. I like keeping a word processing window open so I can jot it down there under notes. Don’t skip writing the idea down thinking you will remember it cause most of the time you won’t. If you start doing this, you can go back, look at those ideas, and be surprised how you can put them together to form an article.
Read other people’s articles on “how to” write articles and this will give you something to go by and you won’t feel completely lost when you start to write yours. You don’t have to be an expert on something before you write an article. Just write about something you have experience in. Maybe you have experience in web design, so write about what you have learned. Write like you are talking to a friend. Wisdom and knowledge come through experience and that’s all you are writing about is your own experience and what you’ve learned. Remember your first article doesn’t have to be long. Short articles (300-800 words) can be helpful, if the material is clear, concise, and to the point.
“I’m Not A Writer!”
Guess what, you don’t have to be a great writer to do this. The point is to keep your writing in a friendly conversational tone. You want to write to the readers not at them. Decide what you want to write then write like you are talking to a friend. Don’t worry about being perfect or editing at this point. You will go back, proofread, and edit later. The important thing is to get the words and ideas on paper-Just do it.
“I Wrote It Down And It Sucks!”
Okay so you have the words on paper and you hate it. Remember you are not required to be perfect and I bet a lot of your dislike for your writing is your Fear talking. At this point, you proofread what you wrote, make corrections in spelling and grammar as best as you can. The main point is to be clear and organized in what you say. Check your article for repetition. If you found you have repeated a phrase unnecessarily then take the extra wording out.
Get another opinion. Read it out loud or have a friend read it. See if your writing makes sense to them and they understand what you are writing about. This will help you in the proofing department.
“What If No One Likes It?”
Ok not everyone is going to like it, but there will be people who do. You will never know unless you try. We are far more critical about ourselves than other people are on us. Somewhere some one is going to find what you have to say helpful. I think of the articles I have read that have helped me. It was great to read about someone who already went through what I am going through now. At least I knew that I wasn’t the only one that was going through the frustrations. I also learned from other people’s mistakes, what pitfalls to avoid, saving me some problems in the future.
Don’t write simply for business reasons, but write from the heart with the intention of wanting to help someone else. If your article has helped or motivated one person in any way, then your writing has served a purpose. Yes there are benefits like name branding, credibility, free advertising, etc, but the thing that counts the most, is you wrote from the heart and someone was helped. Remember we all learn from each other and we are all in this together.
Okay now your article is done. Put your resource box at the end. Now go get it published. Ezines and websites are always looking for new content and there is someone out there waiting to learn from you! An excellent place to start is at http://www.Marketing-Seek.com. This website is for new writers to submit and publish their articles. Also has a great resource for you to check out on other places to submit your article.

Athletics and Winning
Athletics are pretty cut and dry in one regard; the goal to win. Having been in competitive athletics in a prior life I can certainly attest to that. Often however I see something that does not make a lot of sense, the need for society to treat everyone equal and to somehow over do or condemn the competitive aspect. For instance; I question an article I read in Sports Illustrated Women in February of this year about the “Agony of Defeat”. The article discussed public humiliation, financial disappointment, and long-term psychological trauma? That is utter bull.
First if you are really in it to win it and for the challenge and the game itself, then money is not important. If you lose and you are humiliated maybe you should have tried harder and trained more. If you have long-term psychological trauma then you are not tough enough to be the gold medallist anyway. True winners are also previous true losers. The example used was a woman who broke a world record in the Olympics but received a silver medal instead of a gold. She then became suicidal and battled anorexia.
Look here it is, there is only one gold winner and that is what draws the toughest and best competitors in the world. If you cannot hack it, you should not be there. Part of being a top athlete is mental toughness, through and through. Vince Lombarde said that the toughest games draw out the toughest competitors. It is the same in war, politics, sports or business. Get use to it.
It was a touching article, but I believe that it missed the point. A silver medal in the Olympics is not a gold one, but if you are that good and you did not win, blame yourself, get over it and win it next time. You have to be mentally tough or do not compete. That is not a hard liner talking, it is the reality of the game. If you can’ handle it don’t play. Not everyone should be in the game. Think about it.

Exercise in Health and Disease
A world famous physical educationist, Eugene Sandow, has very aptly said, “Life is movement, stagnation is death.” Physical exercise is essential for the maintenance of normal condition of life. Lack of natural exercise is one of the chief causes of weakness and ill-health.
In recent years, the need for exercise has been recognised even in sickness. Physio and
occupational therapy are now standard procedures in medicine to restore the use of muscles
and nerves that have been injured by disease or by accident. Patients with organic ailments are
now advised to stay in bed for the minimum period considered necessary.
Exercise and Activity
For corrective living, it is essential to differentiate between exercise and activity. While both are
important as they are involved in vital physical movement, they vary in degree and benefits.
Both employ the body in voluntary movement. Activity uses the body to a limited degree and
generally to achieve a specific purpose. Exercise employs the body over the widest possible
range of movement for the particular purpose of maintaining or acquiring muscle tone and
control with maximum joint flexibility.
Activity requires less physical effort and often less conscious effort once the routine has been
established. Exercise demands considerable physical effort and is more beneficial as mental
concentration is simultaneously employed.

Six Link Baiting Ideas
There’s been a lot of talk about LinkBaiting in the blogosphere, and I’d like to weigh in.
First a little background: Google gives more ranking weight to what they call authoritative sites and pages. It defines those sites as having many outbound and inbound links. So now having links to your site is important to your success online. More simply, inbound links also drive traffic to your site.
So now we have link exchanges and link sales and link finding software. We have free articles on anything you could possibly think of that all contain links back to the author’s site. There are 437 free articles in my Inbox right now, including Rubber Floor Mats or Carpet Floor Mats and The Lowdown on Laminating Film.
LinkBaiting is viral marketing for links, and we love viral marketing. Like all viral marketing, the goal is to get people to write about and pass around your link so that you get free exposure and traffic. You need to give people a reason to mention you in their blog or on their website, and you need something newsworthy or at least write-worthy to get a news source to mention you.
The best treatise on LinkBaiting comes from Nick Wilson on Performancing.com. Nick says that all good LinkBaiting relies on a hook, and he’s come up with different hook categories:
News hook Contrary Hook Attack Hook Resource Hook Humour Hook
The goal is to offer something so unique and mentionable that other sites will link to your site for free. Other sites will see that mention and add their own in true Viral Marketing fashion. Making you think? Me too.
Here are six LinkBaiting ideas:
1. Come up with a simple free tool for people in your subject area to use, and spread it around. 2. Watch the RSS feeds like a hawk. Jump on and cover a good news story. Comment on a blog or two to get things rolling. This has worked for me. 3. Write a funny list or post in your subject area. 4. Find some funny pics related to your subject area. 5. Come up with some original research (the 10 Most Profitable Programs on Commission Junction This Week was the most popular post on this blog). 6. Give away a free web template, WordPress plugin or graphics file.
Whatever you choose to do, remember that Viral Marketing needs an index case. So go plant the virus somewhere, like at a prominent blog site or two in your niche, or at a forum site, or both.

What Do You Think of Your Broadband Provider?
I ask you because mine is driving me crazy. I had a couple of technical issues recently and got in touch with their ‘customer service’ (can’t believe they have the cheek to call them that) department. After hours on the phone, achieving nothing, I have decided its time to move on. They don’t seem to want my custom so I will do what their service asks for, go elsewhere.
I have been hearing some good things about Virgin broadband in the UK on Broadbandgenie.co.uk, but I am not sure, as I don’t know many people with it, and none that have tried their customer care line. And after all this anger at my current providers customer careline I want to make sure my next one have real people I can talk to about problems!
I am also being very tempted by the idea of mobile Internet, broadband connections you can plug into your laptop and take anywhere. The ability to have access to surfing the web, working online or checking my emails anywhere in the country, in a more user friendly manner than my iPhone, is very appealing. So my next week shall be mostly spent comparing broadband providers and looking into mobile broadband.
Wish me luck.
