Romans 4
The Faith of Abraham
Abraham was, humanly speaking, the founder of our Jewish nation. What did he discover about being made right with God? 2 If his good deeds had made him acceptable to God, he would have had something to boast about. But that was not God’s way. 3 For the Scriptures tell us, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”[a]

4 When people work, their wages are not a gift, but something they have earned. 5 But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners. 6 David also spoke of this when he described the happiness of those who are declared righteous without working for it:

7 “Oh, what joy for those
whose disobedience is forgiven,
whose sins are put out of sight.
8 Yes, what joy for those
whose record the Lord has cleared of sin.”[b]

9 Now, is this blessing only for the Jews, or is it also for uncircumcised Gentiles?[c] Well, we have been saying that Abraham was counted as righteous by God because of his faith. 10 But how did this happen? Was he counted as righteous only after he was circumcised, or was it before he was circumcised? Clearly, God accepted Abraham before he was circumcised!

11 Circumcision was a sign that Abraham already had faith and that God had already accepted him and declared him to be righteous—even before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the spiritual father of those who have faith but have not been circumcised. They are counted as righteous because of their faith. 12 And Abraham is also the spiritual father of those who have been circumcised, but only if they have the same kind of faith Abraham had before he was circumcised.

13 Clearly, God’s promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God’s law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith. 14 If God’s promise is only for those who obey the law, then faith is not necessary and the promise is pointless. 15 For the law always brings punishment on those who try to obey it. (The only way to avoid breaking the law is to have no law to break!)

16 So the promise is received by faith. It is given as a free gift. And we are all certain to receive it, whether or not we live according to the law of Moses, if we have faith like Abraham’s. For Abraham is the father of all who believe. 17 That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.”[d] This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing.

18 Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!”[e] 19 And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah’s womb.

20 Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. 21 He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. 22 And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous. 23 And when God counted him as righteous, it wasn’t just for Abraham’s benefit. It was recorded 24 for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25 He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God.

together in the middle of Sept. '07. In that month he was dating some 17 yr. old girl (his 20 and i'm 23) all they did was kiss (so he says). It only lasted 3 weeks for them and we we're talking for 2 of those weeks trying to fix things with us. We love each other alot and no matter how much I try to get it out of mind and not think about it. It's still there, I still think about them being with each other and cuddling and kissing. And the fact that they got together so fast makes me think they were talking when we were still together?! I'm trying to put it behind us cause we're getting Married Aug 17th of 08. Do you have an advice on how to get this behind me cause it's making problems in our relationship and I don't wanna deal with it anymore?!?!

I saw this in a TV program last night about the last World Cup:

Before the World Cup a Paraguayan footballer, Roberto Acuna, was interviewed by a young Swedish journalist during the preparations for the competition.

Later the player had his translator call the girl saying he wanted to see her that night ‘to get to know her better’.

Rather than simply saying no she then reported the case to Fifa and demanded that he be banned from the competition, claiming she felt insulted.

I couldn‘t find out what punishment was eventually given to Acuna but fortunately, as Fifa is led by the famously politically incorrect Sepp Blatter, he was not banned from the competition.

************
However, it seems that (most) women not only still expect men to do the chasing but they also claim the right to scream ‘sexual harassment’ if they are not interested, rather than simply saying no.

We have students taking an exam and the other professors are loud and carry their conversations out in the hall ways.

They are loud and I dont think they realize that people can not concentrate with them carrying on.

I am the only office staff here. I find sometimes I can not concentrate they mingle and talk about work issues very loudly and close to my desk area.

I do not ,know how to ask somone in a higher position to be quiet.
I have tried, they talk when I am on the phone very loud. And I have looked at them like they are crazy and rude.

I heard from someone recently that a study was done with lavender baby body washes and it was determined that it causes femininity in male baby's. I personally find this to be ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. I would like to see some legit study's that prove or show, one way or the other so i can bring this information to the people in question. Or be completely stunned if it is true. Thank you.

It is not written anywhere in the constitution. The founding fathers made sure of that. While holding the meetings to write the constitution (60ish people) there was a motion to start the meetings with a prayer, only 4 people supported it and the motion died. They knew it then, why can't people understand that now?

I am a 41 year-old woman in good health and not overweight. My thyroid function is normal. I went off the pill over a year ago, and it took a good four or five months for my period to return to normal. Lately, I've been getting my period every other month (last two periods). I've read that ovaries take turns ovulating each month, which might imply one of my ovaries isn't functioning properly. What are some of the reason for this? I just got my period today (after about 50 days). The weird thing is that a month ago, when I was supposed to get my period, it did seem like I was ovulating, but the period never came.

I also realize I could be perimenopausal, but no one else in my family ever had this kind of issue at this age (and I've heard that menopause symptoms are somewhat familial).

I do have an appointment to see the doctor next week but am just feeling a bit anxious and am wondering if anyone has some insights.

Buying a home from a nice couple who are moving not too far away (so we want to keep things friendly). but i just found out that for the final walk through they are going to be there, and no real estate agent. i don't like that idea. this wasn't a "for sale by owner" transaction, there was an agent involved. i would rather do the walk through with the agent than the owners so that i can be open and honest in my evaluation.

what's the standard protocol? for the record, we did not use an agent as my husband has a license.
