What you intend to do in your advance toward holiness, should be done now. Do not delay in striving for holiness or service to God. The Word and Prayer… The Word and Prayer…Įternity is closing in… Do not be impatient, but a sense of urgency is proper. Secret prayer is not a “help” to the Christian life it is essential to the Christian life. Have you met with the Lord this morning in His Word and prayer? Take care that you do not overlook “the” priority for lesser things. In all your learning learn to pray.Īpart from abiding in the Vine, the branches (you and I) can do nothing – We abide through saturating our lives in the Word and prayer! You must learn to pray: Read Tozer, Bounds, and above all, read the prayers of Scripture. The contemporary Christian is far too worldly. Note: Prayer without personal holiness and disinterest in the world is soiled and stained. Note to the young men and women who desire to be used by God – Cancel your cable and throw away your TV. It was the unrelenting victory chant of the early church!”īecause he challenges my heart like this: It was not a message brought out of the closet one Sunday a year at Easter. A thorough survey of the apostles’ preaching in the book of Acts will demonstrate that the resurrection of Jesus Christ was the primary theme of their gospel. This great doctrine is not something that we should merely tag on to the end of a lengthy sermon on the cross, but it should be given equal prominence with the cross. However, those of us who believe the doctrine and seek to faithfully proclaim the gospel can also practice something of a lesser evil: neglecting to give the resurrection its rightful place in our preaching. “Denying Christ’s resurrection–or even treating it as a nonessential– devastates genuine Christianity. We are the beneficiaries of the great exchange, “the just for the unjust.” He was forsaken of God, smitten of God and afflicted, crushed for our iniquities, and chastened for our well-being. He bore the divine curse and suffered the wrath of God that we evoked with our sin, and yet, by His suffering, the debt we could not pay was paid in full. Consequently, the believer is now declared righteous and receives the infinite and immeasurable benefit of that righteousness–God treats us as sons! This is an amazing truth that will transform the way in which the believer sees himself. “The Scriptures declare that Christ became sin on our behalf so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. On the cross, God caused the iniquity of us all to fall upon Him, and God treated Him severely, as though He were guilty of the sins He bore. ![]() ![]() Its height, depth, and width are beyond the comprehension of even the greatest and most discerning creatures.” Men must know that it would be easier to count all the stars in the heavens or each grain of sand on the earth than to measure or even seek to describe the love of God. God not only loves–He is love. He is the God of love. He is the very essence of what true love is, and all true love flows from Him as its ultimate source. It is an attribute, a part of His very being or nature. Men must know that it is not their merit or virtue but God’s love that moves Him to give Himself freely and selflessly to others for their benefit or good. They must know that His love is much more than an attitude, emotion, or work. “The gospel preacher must inundate men with the love of God. It is not unloving to tell men that they are sinners, but it is the grossest form of immorality not to tell them! In fact, God declares that their blood will be on our hands if we do not warn them of their sin and the coming judgment. To seek to preach the gospel without making sin an issue is like trying to heal the brokenness of people superficially, saying, “Peace, peace,” when there is no peace.” Men have only one problem: they are under the wrath of God because of their sin. To deny this is to deny one of the most foundational doctrines of Christianity. “As stewards of the gospel of Jesus Christ, we do no service to men by making light of sin, skirting around the issue, or avoiding it altogether.

TCB underestimated TSB level during PT, with a mean TCBC-TSB difference of -25±43 (95% agreement limits of 62 to -112) and a mean TCBU-TSB difference of -48±46 (95% agreement limits of 45 to -140). There was a significant correlation between TSB and TCB during PT (r=0.72, 95% CI 0.66 to 0.77 in covered area r=0.75, 95% CI 0.70 to 0.80 in uncovered area) and after PT (r=0.87, 95% CI 0.83 to 0.91). Results: We have enrolled 196 preterm infants. Main outcome measures: Correlation and agreement between TCB (TCBU and TCBC) and TSB during and after PT. Interventions: TCB was measured from an exposed area of the skin (the sternum TCBU) and the covered area of the skin under the nappy (the bony part of the upper outer quadrant of the buttock TCBC) within an hour of obtaining total serum bilirubin (TSB). Patients: Preterm infants (from 23+0 to 36+6 weeks of gestation) born between June 2017 and May 2018 requiring PT. Objective: To examine the accuracy of transcutaneous bilirubinometry (TCB) measurements during and after phototherapy (PT) in preterm infants.ĭesign: Prospective observational cohort study. For services to effectively meet the needs of children with social-emotional difficulties and their families, consideration of maternal factors is also necessary. The significant rates of social-emotional problems in young children in the current study and the potential negative impact on child health and wellbeing, suggest that the early assessment of social-emotional adjustment should be incorporated into routine clinical assessment for young children. Task-specific self-efficacy was the only significant predictor of child social-emotional competencies in a model which explained 21% of the variance. ![]() Clinical or non-clinical group membership, parenting satisfaction and maternal psychological distress were found to be significant predictors of child social-emotional problems in a model which explained 59% of the variance. Two hierarchical multiple regressions were carried out with social-emotional problems and social-emotional competencies as the respective criterion variables. Similarly, 55.5% of young children in the clinical sample and 30% in the non-clinical sample had significant delays in the acquisition of social-emotional competencies. The results indicated that 55.5% of young children in the clinical sample and 15% in the non-clinical sample had significant social-emotional problems. Mothers completed a questionnaire battery which assessed parenting self-efficacy, parenting behaviour, psychological distress and child social-emotional adjustment. ![]() Mothers were recruited from waiting lists for child Early Intervention services (clinical sample) and community mother-toddler groups (non-clinical sample). Data were collected from a cross-sectional sample of 72 mothers of young children aged between 12 and 48 months. This study compared rates of reported social-emotional difficulties in young children in clinical and non-clinical samples and probed a predictive model of social-emotional adjustment. The purpose of this study was to generate greater understanding of social-emotional difficulties in infants and toddlers in an Irish context. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ancient people took a friendlier approach to death. Personifications of death exist in all cultures, throughout all of recorded history. In some cases, the Reaper has even given people talismans that made them immortal. With the crook of one boney finger, he can break your bonds to the living world forever.Īfter the Reaper has collected your soul, he will serve as a psychopomp, a guide who helps you find your way into the next realm.Ī few stories describe heroes who have managed to trick the Grim Reaper or convince him not to take their souls. Most stories claim that the mere presence of this specter will begin to draw the soul from the body. His signature, and most mysterious, skill is the ability to separate souls from the body. The Reaper has an important job and special skills to match. He ends suffering for people who are old or sick, and he prevents overpopulation. The Reaper kills people because it is their fate to die. Assassins kill people without caring about their fate. ![]() Some people might think that the Reaper, like an assassin, is despicable because he ends lives without so much as a flinch. He always meets his deadlines, and he is rarely distracted from or persuaded not to do his job. His job is to collect souls when they reach the end of their time on earth, and he is extremely diligent about getting his work done. The Grim Reaper’s appearance might send a chill down your spine, but he’s not as evil as he looks!Ībove all else, the Reaper is a hard worker. Most legends paint the Reaper as a skeleton-white bones and an empty skull-but a few claim that nothing but a dark void lurks beneath the cloak. Finally, he may travel on the back of a ghostly white horse or in a chariot pulled by white horses.įew people have glimpsed the figure beneath the black cloak and lived to tell the tale. The specter might also carry an hourglass, which he uses to measure the amount of time left in a life. In the Reaper’s case, it is used to harvest souls at the end of life. The scythe is traditionally used to harvest crops at the end of fall. In his hand, the Reaper carries a scythe, a long pole with a curved blade fixed to the top. It is usually loose and tattered, so that bits of black flutter in the wind as the Reaper moves. The cloak wraps all the way around the specter’s body and shrouds his face beneath a deep hood. The Reaper’s look starts with a long, black cloak. Unlike earlier personifications of death, the Grim Reaper has a ghoulish appearance that has made him a favorite Halloween costume for generations. ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() And though copper is extremely durable–it’s unfazed by any weather condition from highest heat to coldest freeze–it’s also the priciest type of rain gutter, and it isn’t suitable for DIY installation. Many homeowners feel that weather-worn copper contributes to its old-world appearance. Copper has a unique beauty, but the shine will eventually give way to a greenish patina. Half-round and K-style gutters are made from all of these materials fascia gutters are only made of aluminum. So while you might still see wood gutters in very old, historically significant neighborhoods, today’s rain gutters are generally made from aluminum, vinyl, zinc, steel, or copper. Wood, once the common material for constructing rain gutters, is prone to rot and weathering. This can add up to hundreds of dollars, depending on the size of your home. Fascia gutters are pricey and must be professionally installed you can pay as much as twice for them as half-round or K-style gutters, which you could install yourself. Instead, fascia gutters are custom built for the house out of one long stretch of aluminum. Unlike K-style or half-round gutters, fascia gutters aren’t sold in sections that fit together, leaving seams that are prone to rust and leaks. Custom-built fascia gutters have a sleek, contemporary look. Mitered Corner: This is a corner piece of gutter that fits to the corner of the roof.Each piece of gutter is called a “section.” Gutter: Gutters are sold in pieces of varying lengths.Ferrule: Ferrules are a hollow shaft that encloses the long screw (also known as a “spike”) that attaches the gutter to the house.Hangers:Hangers are strips of metal that support the bottom of the gutter, preventing it from sagging.End Caps: End caps fit to the end of a gutter length and seal off the gutter.Pipe Cleats: Pipe cleats secure the downspout to the house.Downspout Elbow: The downspout elbow is an angled piece of downspout that fits at the bottom of the downspout and directs water away from the home’s foundation.Downspouts: This is part of the gutter that runs vertically down the side of the house, transporting water from the roof to the ground or collection vessel.Learn more about the parts of gutters here. If you live in a very arid climate, you might opt out of installing rain gutters.Īs with most industries, the world of gutters has its own vocabulary and specific monikers for the various bits and pieces that comprise its workings.If your house is completely surrounded by concrete in the form of patios, walkways, or driveways, rain gutters might be optional, as the concrete serves as a protective layer between the runoff and the foundation.But if the house is slightly lower than the surrounding ground, gutters are required to channel runoff a sufficient distance from the foundation. If your house is higher than the surrounding landscaping, water is unlikely to pool around the foundation, making gutters optional.In this case, gutters may not be necessary. If your home has a sharply peaked roof with an overhang of 12 inches or more, rainwater will naturally tend to cascade out and away from the house, rather than dripping straight down to the ground to puddle against the foundation. ![]() If your roof has no overhang or only has a few inches of overhang, it’s likely that water will accumulate against the foundation, damage flower beds near the foundation, and/or pour down on people as they enter or exit your home.Most do, but there are exceptions, so consider the following: First, figure out if your house really needs rain gutters. ![]() |
