My name is David Daniel Ball I'm a teacher with three decades experience teaching math to high school kids.I also work with first graders and kids in between first grade and high school. I know the legends of why Hypatia's dad is remembered through his contribution to Math theory. And I know the legend of why followers of Godel had thought he had disproved God's existence. 

I'm not a preacher, but I am a Christian who has written over 28 books all of which include some reference to my faith. Twelve blog books on world history and current affairs, detailing world events , births and marriages on each day of the year, organised by month. Twelve books on the background to and history of Bible Quotes. One Bible quote per day for a year. An intro to a science fiction series I'm planning, post apocalyptic cyber punk. An autobiography with short story collections. 

I'm known in Australia for my failure as a whistleblower over the negligence death of a school boy. I had reported the issue responsibly and had not known I'd blown the whistle. The embarrassed left wing government had responded by imposition of a nationwide ban on the use of peanut butter in canteens, despite failing to address the issue of peanut allergy appropriately. 

I've been de-platformed on Facebook and twitter despite not being an activist. Twitter did not like me asking for Obama to face justice in 2011. FB gave no specific reason for removing me following Jan 6th 2021 in Washington DC where a policeman killed an unarmed woman, so a crowd would know he was in control.

A successful withdrawal was what was engineered at Gallipolli, where, over three days troops pulled out of defended positions and left on ships .. nobody died. That was war. Nobody was left behind. Because of the failure, WW1 was prolonged another two and a half years, Russia collapsed etc etc. The price of failure was big. But the retreat was a success. In contrast, Biden's retreat was utter failure in Afghanistan. 

Editorial on Covid policy failure
It is apparent COVID policy is political, not health related. However health advice has been political and not health related. Public health has been corrupted. Media has failed. Judiciary is corrupt. Defence is incompetent. The thin blue line has been cut. And, elder abuse is apparent from the Presidential office through to the ordinary NYC retirement home. On the plus side, there is an emerging possibility of an empty gesture securing the white house for womyn on behalf of one raised in Canada. 

Dan Andrews' lockdown has cancelled AA meetings. Go the beers. Playgrounds have been shut down state wide and even a curfew has been re-imposed. There is no science showing any such measure addresses COVID, but we know it allows the government to assert authority.

Editorial Biden's Afghan failure culminated from Obama's Afghan lies

Afghanistan is in flames as Biden begins bombing runs on terrorists as he seeks to negotiate with them. US soldiers have been killed after a strategic error left an exposed airport the only means of Americans and their allies to flee. Biden says those that remained behind wanted to, after fleeing Afghans clinging to a wing and fuselage of an aircraft plummet to their deaths. After Biden had said the Afghan government would stand following US withdrawal. US left behind billions of dollars of weapons Chicago gangs look on with shock and awe. The Taliban will not use a fleet of Blackhawk helicopters. China will. 

So who is responsible for the failure? According to Biden, the buck stops with him, and he views it as a Dunkirk like success, when he is not looking at his watch waiting for mourning to end of soldiers that died in his service. Biden also feels any mistake was made by Donald Trump as NK begins nuclear weapons work. The US military have included critical junior officers in their lists of personal pronouns for enemies. What is a personal pronoun for a failed President? 

Editorial on God In answer to Dinesh Dsousa's article 
The God the atheists refute is not real, but is a ridiculous, impossible figure. God is real. God as He is revealed in the Bible is a fact. However, as ridiculous as the atheists arguments are, they are instructive. God made a bridge He could not cross (man's rejection of Him). God bridged that gap with Jesus. Thing is, atheists don't believe that that gap is real. 

In my Sermon on a Miracle I describe how God gave a childless woman who could not bear children, prayed for children, family. He did that. And he did not use supernatural measures. 

God is real. God does the impossible. God is not subject to our demands. God answers prayer. Sometimes bad people prosper for a time. All those statements are true. 

God is worthy of praise. Atheists don't see it, but they have countless examples of it, from their own lives to the works of those they admire. In the Revelations of the Holy Spirit I underscore and outline some of what God does that even atheists call for. 

We need god, but even in a world without God, there is a need for Him. 

===
From the Bible, 2 Corinthians 3

Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

Such confidence we have through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

The Greater Glory of the New Covenant

Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!

Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

Bruce Dawe wrote this circa 1956. Materialism was big during the Melbourne Olympics of '56 which saw the intro of TV to Australia.

Memento, homo, quia pulvis es, et in pulverem reverteris.

(Epigraph: Remember, man, that thou art dust, and unto dust thou shalt return.)



Blink, blink. HOSPITAL. SILENCE.

Ten days old, carried in the front door in his

mother's arms, first thing he heard was

Bobby Dazzler on Channel 7:

Hello, hello hello all you lucky people and he

really was lucky because it didn't mean a thing

to him then...

                      A year or two to settle in and

get acquainted with the set-up; like every other

well-equipped smoothly-run household, his included

one economy-size Mum, one Anthony Squires-

Coolstream-Summerweight Dad, along with two other kids

straight off the Junior Department rack.

              

                              When Mom won the

Luck's-A-Fortch Tricky-Tune Quiz she took him shopping

in the good-as-new station-wagon (£ 495 dep. at Reno's).

Beep, beep. WALK. DON'T WALK. TURN

LEFT. NO PARKING. WAIT HERE. NO

SMOKING. KEEP CLEAR/OUT/OFF GRASS. NO

BREATHING EXCEPT BY ORDER. BEWARE OF

THIS. WATCH OUT FOR THAT. My God (beep)

the congestion here just gets (beep)

worse every day, now what the (beep beep) does

that idiot think he's doing (beep beep and BEEP).

              

However, what he enjoyed most of all was when they

went to the late show at the local drive-in, on a clear night

and he could see (beyond the fifty-foot screen where

giant faces forever snarled screamed or make

incomprehensible and monstrous love) a pure

unadulterated fringe of sky, littered with stars

no-one had got around to fixing up yet: he'd watch them

circling about in luminous groups like kids at the circus

who never go quite close enough to the elephant to get kicked.

 

Anyway, pretty soon he was old enough to be

realistic like every other godless

money-hungry back-stabbing miserable

so-and-so, and then it was goodbye stars and the soft

cry in the corner when no-one was looking because

I'm telling you straight, Jim, it's Number One every time

for this chicken, hit wherever you see a head and

kick whoever's down, well thanks for a lovely

evening Clare, it's good to get away from it all

once in a while, I mean it's a real battle all the way

and a man can't help but feel a little soiled, himself,

at times, you know what I mean?

 

                                Now take it easy

on those curves, Alice, for God's sake,

I've had enough for one night, with that Clare Jessup,

hey, ease up, will you, watch it --

 

                                    Probity & Sons, Morticians,

did a really first-class job on his face

(everyone was very pleased) even adding a

healthy tan he'd never had, living, gave him back for keeps

the old automatic smile with nothing behind it,

winding the whole show up with a

nice ride out to the underground metropolis

permanent residentials, no parking tickets, no taximeters

ticking, no Bobby Dazzlers here, no down payments,

nobody grieving over halitosis

flat feet, shrinking gums, falling hair.

 
Six feet down nobody interested.


Blink, blink. CEMETERY. Silence.

Here is a video I made Royal Telephone
From the music and lyrics of Frederick Martin Lehman, 1919. This is a tribute to Jimmy Little. The song was his most popular. http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/r/o/ro... http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/an...

=== From 2018 ===
Scott Morrison deserves a chance as PM. Alan Jones has been sued for defamation in Queensland owing to comments made during a flood. The multi million dollar payout appears excessive. Can Dutton sue those who criticise him for making responsible decisions? Has the ALP ever made an immigration decision regarding an au pair? 

On the anniversary of 911, John Bolton has rejected the ICC's investigation of The War on Terror. Obama restarted the Cold War, and it impinges in lots of ways on global bodies. 

Sarsour says US Muslims should not humanise Israelis. Should Sarsour demonise them? Is Sarsour afforded free speech when she is demonstrably calling for the deaths of Israelis? What of Australian Cartoonist Knight, who was labelled a racist for caricaturing an event that happened? Is calling for the deaths of innocent peoples free speech? Is drawing an accurate picture racist? Note, it is not all Americans who agree that the Knight cartoon of Williams doing a dummy spit is racist. It might not be many who agree with Sarsour. Does J K Rowling, who tweeted condemnation of Knight after she saw racism, condemn Sarsour? 
From my article on Quora
What kind of idiots in school administrations came up with this zero-tolerance garbage? Zero tolerance means no common sense or compassion.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-zero-tolerance-policies-hurt-kids
Zero Tolerance is a policy which cleaned up New York City under Mayor Giuliani and Police Chief Bratton. It began as an environmental policy in 1973 in New Jersey but was applied, through a ‘Broken Windows’ response in law enforcement, effectively. Because the champions for it were GOP, the Dem axis of press and activists have campaigned against it, misrepresenting it. In recent years it has been applied to the drug culture and contrasted with the failed policy of Harm Minimisation.

Zero Tolerance, as applied to drug use, is to stop the drug use and treat the user. Harm minimisation is to facilitate drug use for the user. Thing is, drug use is no longer contained to a drug using community, but to the whole community, with tragic results. Zero tolerance works, but is confronting. Drug dependent users want drugs. They will do *anything* to get drugs, but that rarely means being good citizens.

The article from the Daily Beast does not describe Zero Tolerance, but overstates issues too. For example, Ahmed Mohamed who brought a clock to a science fair that looked like it could have been an IED (improvised, explosive device). It is reprehensible to overstate a proportionate response to the prank. A former Sri Lankan Cricket Captain bragged that Australian Cricketers should fear the Tamil Tigers when they toured. It was a tacit call for terrorism which should never be endorsed. It does not matter what the name is of the child preforming the prank.

Pointing a gun, even a toy one, at fellow students should have sanctions imposed on the behaviour. Be grateful a child was not gunned down by armed responders. Would Harm Minimisation have treated the behaviour differently?

The issues described in The Daily Beast article are not germane with Zero Tolerance. The final paragraphs are telling, the issue is, instead, failing educational standards despite cost. Obama spent big on education to control it, not improve it. Education was never about the necessities of life, like toilet use, or toy bomb building or toy gun use. It is also not about the fierceness of Halloween costumes or school year pictures. It is about discourse in society, and that should have standards which the Daily Beast article fails to emulate.

A daily column on what the ALP have as a policy, supported by a local member, and how it has 'helped' the local community. I'll stop if I cannot identify a policy. Feel free to make suggestions. Contact me on FB, not twitter. I have twitter, but never look at it.

Gabrielle Williams was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Carers and Volunteers, working with the Minister for Housing, Disability and Ageing and the Minister for Families and Children. Williams was given those titles when elected in 2014. It is difficult to find what value she has been to Dandenong, but clearly the ALP see her as the future. I went to a bussing services discussion at Chelsea RSL, Present were Donna Bauer (Liberal for Carrum), Geoff Gledhill (Liberal for Mordialloc), David Davis (Shadow Minister for Public Transport) and Gordon Rich-Phillips (Deputy Liberal Leader in Legislative Council) and interested members of the public. The discussion was frank and open. It is one of the many reasons I believe Liberals will win this years election against ALP in Victoria. Instead of taking people for granted, Liberals are looking for solutions to problems. One problem involving Dan Andrews ALP government is that the population of Melbourne and Victoria is growing quickly, but infrastructure has not kept pace. One result is bussing is falling in patronage in the last year by 4%. Busses are not running on time. They are dirty, dangerous and routes are not always appropriate. So that twenty kids playing basketball late in an evening can enter a bus without paying, be raucous and if a bus driver tries to be assertive, the bus driver gets into trouble. Some bus routes have large busses going inappropriately through small back streets. when large streets are adjacent. If you have issues you would like raised, contact Donna, Geoff, David, Gordon or me. We are here to serve. 

As part of the November 24th Vic election campaign I have a petition I want to bring before the Opposition Leader Matthew Guy. I believe Matthew will be the next premier of Victoria and so I am petitioning him as I raise the issues of Employment, Crime and Education in Dandenong. I am also seeking money for my campaign. I don't have party resources, and so my campaign is on foot, and on the internet. Any money I receive that is not spent on the campaign will go to Grow 4 Life. I am asking questions like "What do you love about Dandenong?" and "If you could change something in Dandenong to make it better, what would it be?" I'm not limiting the questions to state issues. I'm happy to discuss anything, and get things done.

Some things should not happen, but they do. Hillary Clinton, who relied on 88% support from African American voters, accused Trump of playing the race card. To be fair, Hillary was busy dodging sniper fire, and might not be fully aware of the facts. Bannon declares support for Trump so the CBS headline is that he has declared war on GOP. Trump's early presidency has seen the GDP rise higher than expected, IS is on the run, Stock market is rising, China is cooperating over NK, and yet the press claim the presidency has failed. #FakeNews must be dealt with. The swamp must be drained. 

AGW activists claim that renewables are as cheap as coal. So Deputy PM Barnaby Joyce belled the cat, by suggesting subsidies can now be removed from renewables. Minister for energy, the acclaimed Josh Frydenberg said 'no.' Every cent spent on subsidising renewables is costing the economy double. The distortion to the market makes bad corporate decisions which have resulted in Australia having the most expensive power in the civilised world, and it is unreliable.  I rely on a CPAP machine and I might die in a brown out as a result of government irrational decisions on this issue. I am not alone. Joyce has the voice of reason on this issue. Frydenberg is part of the reason why this government will not be re elected.

There never was a Palestine. The name is what the Romans called Jewish administrators. Jordan had a civil war in recent times and the terrorists who failed to overthrow Jordan ran to claim the territory as Palestinians. Palestine never had a king, never had currency, and had no culture. In some ways, it is a bit like those refugees who are really terrorists.

New Moon festival at Springvale, in Melbourne. It is good to see happy, excited children. Some playing with balloons. Mainly their faces beam as they prepare for food coma following a big day. But while it may feel like all is right with the world, there are some things that are terribly wrong. 

It is US Patriots Day. Anniversary of the evil 911 attacks that happened as a direct result of Bill Clinton being elected President twice. Bill weakened the CIA in the Middle East as a cost measure. 

In NSW Council elections have ended for places with councils that function. There are many places where councils did not function. The ALP have taken many for granted where they dominate council. It is disappointing Fairfield, despite a split ALP vote, did not change hands after Liberal Party infighting. Dai Le had good support, but it was not enough. 

An ISIL wannabe stabbed a man in Sydney, but ABC refused to mention the motivation for the attack. It is apparently more comforting if the attack is described as random. Meanwhile, an ABC presenter describes the Israeli West Bank as occupied. Their tacit support for terrorists over homeowners is noted. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.  
=== from 2015 ===
 None for 2015 .. because of Melbourne promotional trip
From 2014
It is Patriot Day in USA and time to remember why we are at war with terror. It is also an election year for US Congress. Two years ago, in another election year, Obama was dancing with Beyonce and unable to be contacted when his personal pick for Libyan ambassador was calling for help over a terrorist hit. Sadly Hilary Clinton was on hand to deny aid and give weapons to ISIS forces without interference from special forces. Clinton and Rice blamed an Egyptian Coptic filmmaker, even pointing him out to terrorists, as reason for the attack. The White house had been in election mode and had claimed Al Qaeda was no more as an international force. When Romney referred to it in debate, media mugged him for Obama. A year later, Obama had wanted to bomb Syria in favour of ISIS. Russia said 'no' and so the White house favoured an illegitimate government in Ukraine which forced Moscow to claim their own naval dock yard and brought ethnic tensions to the surface in Ukraine which resulted in MH17. Obama needs to project strength if he is to get a congress that will work to his agenda, but who feels that such a congress would be worthwhile? As Bill Clinton showed, a hostile congress can get good bills past an incompetent President. 

It is Patriot day and worth remembering victims of 9/11. An Australian wife of a victim at the World Trade Centre has opened a door to his room for the first time since that day. Their child is teaching at a high school. It is worse than a life interrupted, there are all the blessings of a life together and the growth together, the nesting, the aims for a future .. and it was all denied forever. It was terror, but many Islamic leaders have claimed it was Islam which which committed the atrocity. In the Middle East people are recorded cheering the atrocity. Saddam Hussein in Iraq paid money to suicide bombers after the event. There was, as then President Bush noted, an Axis of Evil. People claiming that there was a purpose to the evil, twisting a knife into families of victims. And the cause, at the root, is no different from that which Israel has defended herself from her beginning as a modern state. Terror has changed us in the west. But the legacy of what has made the west great is still there. Left wing discourse on the issue is very wide of the mark and looking flaky because of it. 'War for oil' ? We need to be humble. We need to own our mistakes. We need to want to be free. We need to fight for our treasure. The soldiers that fought for America in WW2 are correctly referred to as 'The Greatest Generation.' But what will they call those who in the face of terrorism got confused? For thirteen years since 9/11, activists have failed to explain what happened in their discourse of why things happen. ABC continues to oppose Australia in war. Australia has a proud history in war, but not perfect. The ABC view seems oppositional, one sided, corrosive, misguided and contrary to their charter. Meanwhile opposition leader Shorten has tried to torpedo a $20 billion submarine deal with Japan which might force a bad $40 billion deal with people who cannot produce excellent vehicles with equivalent speed. No doubt Shorten will be excused for any digger that dies as a result of his bad speech. 

The Lin family murders were horrible and so far not fully explained. A relative is facing court in relation to the killings. They had custody of a survivor who had been absent at the time of the killings. The survivor, a young female, is alleging sexual abuse by her subsequent guardian which others feel could be a motive. The child survivor has not done anything wrong and deserves much better than what she has so far been given in life. But many things are unfair. presaging Pistorius verdict, Leigh Sales on ABC 7:30 report calls Pistorius a "Fallen hero." The judge at trial has presaged the verdict by taking on board serious issues raised by the defence. He has been found not guilty of murder. One can still hope for a custodial sentence and disgrace related to his behaviour. ICAC has heard how a $20k check from a banned donor developer did not go directly to the Liberal Party but instead went to what they called a slush fund. So the ICAC does not think slush funds are appropriate? Under what circumstances might they be? Still the ICAC has no evidence of corruption. Injustice has no end. 

Aboriginal children are suffering from racist myths just as 1400 children of Rotherham have. Racism needs to be opposed, but it isn't being opposed rationally by laws that claim to, like 18c. Nobody has proposed a better defence than a free press to safeguard western nations from corruption, but the press have a strong left wing agenda and are weak, not free. And the suppression of free speech has resulted in the abuse detailed in the top end of Australia, and Rotherham, in numbers that would not be tolerated were the news known, and not censored by race. An Australian detective is working to protect children from pedophiles in South East Asia. He has sacrificed everything to do so after being on holiday and approached by a pimp with an offer. In Australia Federal Border Protection and Immigration Minister Morrison has done a brilliant job to date, but deserve to be given access to Temporary Protection Visas to do even better. A child of a newly arrived Afghan couple has died after falling into a creek at a barbecue. Three years old, surviving a harsh journey, only to fall in a tragic accident. 

Frightbats of the media are lying and feeding a false narrative of the world. They trip up on facts, but their fans don't notice, or defend them. One statistic that fails the anti government rhetoric is the unemployment statistic that has over 120k employed recently, but no reason for it. There was a chilling statistic recently suggesting unemployment rose for no reason too. One unexplained fact gets accepted by the anti government rabble, another is rejected from the same source, suggesting it is the narrative that is wrong. There are difficult jobs, like that of cabinet minister for the stool of a King, but what about jobs done for free, unpaid, out of love? Google has such a wonderful permanent frat party aspect for her workers so that some don't bother having homes. A solar storm approaches Australia, but we will survive. Ebola has been reported as not being in Australia after a sick person complained it might be. Self diagnosis is fraught. 
From 2013
We begin tonight and the editorial will finish with Saddam Hussein. Today is 9/11. On the eleventh of September 2001 some terrorists claiming to be Islamic took down four flights of commercial aircraft and killed thousands of people, changing the way democracy works in America. The day was chosen because of the emergency call number in the US. But any excuse could be made. Terrorism has no meaning, and should never be allowed to win, or be seen to win. Pointed look at Obama. 

The left wing dominate the free press, but don't have moral rectitude. Abbott's daughters have been pictured with Mr Abbott on the FB page "Furiously Masturbating to Abbott's Daughters" The page has been reported to FB, which replies it is within the bounds of community standards. In the same vein as having a biased press is useful for conservatives to get votes in a conservative cycle, this kind of page will disgust reasonable people. But it is a sad indictment on the community standard, and as an equivalent involving the left wing would not be tolerated, it is a double standard. Mr Abbott is still a few days from announcing a ministry. Sadly Sophie Mirabella seems to have missed out in her electorate. The media attacks on her have been very dirty. The expected winner of the seat of Indi is a conservative who has the support of Tony Windsor, another so called conservative who supported the ALP as an independent on many occasions over his entire career. So Mr Abbott's government has not begun yet, but the opposition will begin masturbating. 

Fires have claimed a few houses in NSW, and rage in California. The NSW fires have added poignancy, with some having been deliberately lit and with a thief having stolen a laptop from an open window of a damaged house. Another fire burns inside the heart of Obama who really wants to hit Syria with more than pins. One can only imagine what the pricks have done to Whitehouse maps of Syria, Obama wants to use real weapons. Only the world won't let him. Assad is in discussions to surrender chemical weapons. One hopes this happens and the history of those weapons is analysed to see how Saddam did it .. and with which Democrat's support.

Today's reading: Proverbs 8-9, 2 Corinthians 3 (NIV)

View today's reading on Bible Gateway

Today's Old Testament reading: Proverbs 8-9

Wisdom's Call
1 Does not wisdom call out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 At the highest point along the way,
where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3 beside the gate leading into the city,
at the entrance, she cries aloud:
4 "To you, O people, I call out;
I raise my voice to all mankind.
5 You who are simple, gain prudence;
you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.
6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;
I open my lips to speak what is right.
7 My mouth speaks what is true,
for my lips detest wickedness.
8 All the words of my mouth are just;
none of them is crooked or perverse.
9 To the discerning all of them are right;
they are upright to those who have found knowledge.
10 Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,
11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her....

Today's New Testament reading: 2 Corinthians 3

1 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? 2 You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. 3 You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
4 Such confidence we have through Christ before God. 5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. 6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant-not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life....

Morning

"And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him."
Mark 3:13
Here was sovereignty. Impatient spirits may fret and fume, because they are not called to the highest places in the ministry; but reader be it thine to rejoice that Jesus calleth whom he wills. If he shall leave me to be a doorkeeper in his house, I will cheerfully bless him for his grace in permitting me to do anything in his service. The call of Christ's servants comes from above. Jesus stands on the mountain, evermore above the world in holiness, earnestness, love and power. Those whom he calls must go up the mountain to him, they must seek to rise to his level by living in constant communion with him. They may not be able to mount to classic honours, or attain scholastic eminence, but they must like Moses go up into the mount of God and have familiar intercourse with the unseen God, or they will never be fitted to proclaim the gospel of peace. Jesus went apart to hold high fellowship with the Father, and we must enter into the same divine companionship if we would bless our fellowmen. No wonder that the apostles were clothed with power when they came down fresh from the mountain where Jesus was. This morning we must endeavour to ascend the mount of communion, that there we may be ordained to the lifework for which we are set apart. Let us not see the face of man today till we have seen Jesus. Time spent with him is laid out at blessed interest. We too shall cast out devils and work wonders if we go down into the world girded with that divine energy which Christ alone can give. It is of no use going to the Lord's battle till we are armed with heavenly weapons. We must see Jesus, this is essential. At the mercy-seat we will linger till he shall manifest himself unto us as he doth not unto the world, and until we can truthfully say, "We were with him in the Holy Mount."

Evening

"Evening wolves."
Habakkuk 1:8
While preparing the present volume, this particular expression recurred to me so frequently, that in order to be rid of its constant importunity I determined to give a page to it. The evening wolf, infuriated by a day of hunger, was fiercer and more ravenous than he would have been in the morning. May not the furious creature represent our doubts and fears after a day of distraction of mind, losses in business, and perhaps ungenerous tauntings from our fellow men? How our thoughts howl in our ears, "Where is now thy God?" How voracious and greedy they are, swallowing up all suggestions of comfort, and remaining as hungry as before. Great Shepherd, slay these evening wolves, and bid thy sheep lie down in green pastures, undisturbed by insatiable unbelief. How like are the fiends of hell to evening wolves, for when the flock of Christ are in a cloudy and dark day, and their sun seems going down, they hasten to tear and to devour. They will scarcely attack the Christian in the daylight of faith, but in the gloom of soul conflict they fall upon him. O thou who hast laid down thy life for the sheep, preserve them from the fangs of the wolf.
False teachers who craftily and industriously hunt for the precious life, devouring men by their false-hoods, are as dangerous and detestable as evening wolves. Darkness is their element, deceit is their character, destruction is their end. We are most in danger from them when they wear the sheep's skin. Blessed is he who is kept from them, for thousands are made the prey of grievous wolves that enter within the fold of the church.

What a wonder of grace it is when fierce persecutors are converted, for then the wolf dwells with the lamb, and men of cruel ungovernable dispositions become gentle and teachable. O Lord, convert many such: for such we will pray tonight.

=== Message ===

===

I am a decent man and don't care for the abuse given me. I created a video raising awareness of anti police feeling among western communities. I chose the senseless killing of Nicola Cotton, a Louisiana policewoman who joined post Katrina, to highlight the issue. I did this in order to get an income after having been illegally blacklisted from work in NSW for being a whistleblower. I have not done anything wrong. Local council appointees refused to endorse my work, so I did it for free. Youtube's Adsence refused to allow me to profit from their marketing it. Meanwhile, I am hostage to abysmal political leadership and hopeless journalists. My shopfront has opened on Facebook.

I am publishing a book called Bread of Life: January.

Bread of Life is a daily bible quote with a layman's understanding of the meaning. I give one quote for each day, and also a series of personal stories illustrating key concepts eg Who is God? What is a miracle? Why is there tragedy?


January is the first of the anticipated year-long work of thirteen books. One for each month and the whole year. It costs to publish. It (Kindle version) should retail at about $2US online, but the paperback version would cost more, according to production cost.If you have a heart for giving, I fundraise at gofund.me/27tkwuc (Gofundme finished the fund raiser, 2017)

Editorials will appear in the "History in a Year by the Conservative Voice" series, starting with August, September, October, or at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/1482020262/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_dVHPub0MQKDZ4 The kindle version is cheaper, but the soft back version allows a free kindle version.
