When the word “quench” is used in Scripture, it is speaking of
suppressing fire. When believers put on the shield of faith, as part of
their armor of God (Ephesians 6:16), they are extinguishing the power of
the fiery darts from Satan. Christ described hell as a place where the
fire would not be “quenched” (Mark 9:44, 46, 48). Likewise, the Holy
Spirit is a fire dwelling in each believer. He wants to express Himself
in our actions and attitudes. When believers do not allow the Spirit to
be seen in our actions, when we do what we know is...

This is perhaps the most important question in all of Christian
theology. This question is the cause of the Reformation, the split
between the Protestant churches and Catholic Church. This question is a
key difference between biblical Christianity and most of the “Christian”
cults. Is salvation by faith alone, or by faith plus works? Am I saved
just by believing in Jesus, or do I have to believe in Jesus and do
certain things?
The question of faith alone or faith plus works is made difficult by
some hard-to-reconcile Bible passages. Compare...

This movie shows that it would take a lot more than money to change a man. The best time to start building a life is when you've lost everything, thats when you would stumble on the best kind of people that you really need in your life. All this and more are all encapsulated in this wonderful movie. The best gift you can give a man is a chance to truly discover his purpose...

Transformers are normally protected against short circuits and overheating. Transformer protections justifiable in different installations will vary widely depending upon the size of the equipment, importance as a unit part of the Distribution system, and its voltage rating. Small distribution Transformers maybe protected by fuses while larger ones in feeder circuit or at injection substations may be equipped with various types of protective equipment varying from long-time overcurrent to high speed differential protection, standby earth fault...

Analog Signal Conditioning provides the operations necessary to transform a sensor output into a form necessary to interface with other elements of the process control loop.
Signal Conditioning can be classified into various types:
Linearization
Conversions
Filtering and Impedance Matching
Concept of Loading
Linearization
The purpose of linearization is to provide an output that varies linearly with some variable even if the sensor output does not.
Conversions
Often, Signal Conditioning is used to convert one type of electrical variation...

By transposition of conductors, we mean the exchanging of the position of the power conductors at regular intervals along the line so that each conductor occupies the original position of every other conductor over an equal distance. If the spacing is unequal, even though the system operates under balanced condition, voltage drops of different magnitude will be there in the 3 conductors due to unequal inductance in the 3-phase. Also due to unsymmetrical...

At first, i never really fancied this movie, but along the line, i was unusually drawn to it. Its a story of love, true love. Sometimes, loving something/someone might require that you let go for the greater good. Other times we might love them so much that we can't afford to let them go. If you are a parent or an intending one, then you need to see this movie. To love someone dearly means to do things that would be of great benefit to...

At 10:30 a.m. local time, a massive truck bomb explodes outside the U.S. embassy in Nairobi, Kenya. Minutes later, another truck bomb detonated outside the U.S. embassy in Dar es Salaam, the capital of neighboring Tanzania. The dual terrorist attacks killed 224 people, including 12 Americans, and wounded more than 4,500. The United States accused Saudi exile Osama bin Laden, a proponent of international terrorism against America, of masterminding the bombings. On August 20, President Bill Clinton ordered cruise missiles launched against bin...

After several unsuccessful attempts, the first telegraph line across the Atlantic Ocean is completed, a feat accomplished largely through the efforts of American merchant Cyrus West Field.
The telegraph was first developed by Samuel F. B. Morse, an artist-turned-inventor who conceived of the idea of the electric telegraph in 1832. Several European inventors had proposed such a device, but Morse worked independently and by the mid 1830s had built a working telegraph instrument. In the late 1830s, he perfected Morse Code, a set of signals that...

Christians should definitely support the nation of Israel. We must remember that Israel, the nation, is very special to God. We read in Deuteronomy 7:6-8 these words: "For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath he...

On July 26, 1908, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is born when U.S. Attorney General Charles Bonaparte orders a group of newly hired federal investigators to report to Chief Examiner Stanley W. Finch of the Department of Justice. One year later, the Office of the Chief Examiner was renamed the Bureau of Investigation, and in 1935 it became the Federal Bureau of Investigation.When the Department of Justice was created in 1870 to enforce federal law and coordinate judicial policy, it had no permanent investigators on its staff.

In Philadelphia, the Liberty Bell rings out from the tower of the Pennsylvania State House (now known as Independence Hall), summoning citizens to the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence, by Colonel John Nixon. On July 4, the historic document was adopted by delegates to the Continental Congress meeting in the State House. However, the Liberty Bell, which bore the apt biblical quotation, "Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land unto All the Inhabitants Thereof," was not rung until the Declaration of Independence returned...

John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the second and third presidents of the United States, respectively, die on this day July 4th 1826, the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Both men had been central in the drafting of the historic document; Jefferson had authored it, and Adams, who was known as the "colossus of the debate," served on the drafting committee and had argued eloquently for the declaration's passage.After July 4, 1776, Adams traveled to France as a diplomat, where he proved instrumental in winning French...

Early in the morning, Africans on the Cuban schooner Amistad rise up against their captors, killing two crewmembers and seizing control of the ship, which had been transporting them to a life of slavery on a sugar plantation at Puerto Principe, Cuba.In 1807, the U.S. Congress joined with Great Britain in abolishing the African slave trade, although the trading of slaves within the United States was not prohibited. Despite the international ban on the importation of African slaves, Cuba continued to transport captive Africans to its sugar plantations...

The autonomous Dominion of Canada, a confederation of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the future provinces of Ontario and Quebec, is officially recognized by Great Britain with the passage of the British North America Act.During the 19th century, colonial dependence gave way to increasing autonomy for a growing Canada. In 1841, Upper and Lower Canada--now known as Ontario and Quebec--were made a single province by the Act of Union. In the 1860s, a movement for a greater Canadian federation grew out of the need for a common defense, the desire...

On June 23, 1956, 99.95 percent of Egyptian voters mark their ballots to elect Gamal Abdel Nasser as the first president of the Republic of Egypt. Nasser, who toppled the Egyptian monarchy in 1952 in a military coup, was the only presidential candidate on the ballot. In the same ballot, Nasser's new constitution, under which Egypt became a one-party socialist state with Islam as the official religion, was approved by 99.8 percent of voters.
Gamal Abdel Nasser was born in Alexandria in 1918. As a youth, he participated in demonstrations against...

At Waterloo in Belgium, Napoleon Bonaparte suffers defeat at the hands of the Duke of Wellington, bringing an end to the Napoleonic era of European history.
The Corsica-born Napoleon, one of the greatest military strategists in history, rapidly rose in the ranks of the French Revolutionary Army during the late 1790s. By 1799, France was at war with most of Europe, and Napoleon returned home from his Egyptian campaign to take over the reigns of the French government and save his nation from collapse. After becoming first consul in February 1800,...

Henry Ossian Flipper, born a slave in Thomasville, Georgia, in 1856, is the first African American cadet to graduate from the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. Flipper, who was never spoken to by a white cadet during his four years at West Point, was appointed a second lieutenant in the all-African American 10th Cavalry, stationed at Fort Sill in Indian Territory.
The United States Military Academy--the first military school in America--was founded by Congress in 1802 for the purpose of educating and training young men...

Asking why biblical creationism is important is like asking why a foundation is important to a building. Biblical creationism is foundational to the Christian faith. Christianity is established in the book of Genesis chapter one, with “in the beginning God created . . .” This one statement affirms creationism and opposes any view that embraces evolutionism (the belief that the universe started with a “big bang” and has been constantly evolving ever since). The way we answer this question reflects whether we believe the Word of God or call its...

The term homiletics comes from the word homily, which basically means “a sermon.” Homiletics is the art of preparing sermons and preaching. Those who study homiletics seek to improve their skill at communicating the gospel and other biblical topics. The discipline of homiletics falls under the umbrella of pastoral or practical theology. Preaching and, therefore, homiletics have always been associated with the pastor of a church. A pastor is sometimes referred to as the “preaching elder,” based on 1 Timothy 5:17. However, a study of homiletics...

Many Christians use the cliché “Love the sinner, hate the sin.” However, we must realize that this is an exhortation to us as imperfect human beings. The difference between us and God in regard to loving and hating is vast. Even as Christians, we remain imperfect in our humanity and cannot love perfectly, nor can we hate perfectly (in other words, without malice). But God can do both of these perfectly, because He is God. God can hate without any sinful intent. Therefore, He can hate the sin and the sinner in a perfectly holy way and still be...

Countless stories could be cited of diseases cured, exams passed, repentance and forgiveness granted, relationships restored, hungry children fed, bills paid and lives and souls saved through the efficacy of prayer. So, yes, there is plenty of evidence that God answers prayer. Most of the evidence is anecdotal and personal, however, and that bothers many who think of “evidence” only as that which is observable, measureable, and reproducible. Scripture clearly teaches that prayers are answered. James 5:16 states that “the prayer of a righteous...

There are two sides to this interesting question. It is important to remember that this is not a question of whether Jesus sinned. Both sides agree, as the Bible clearly says, that Jesus did not sin (2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:22). The question is whether Jesus could have sinned. Those who hold to “impeccability” believe that Jesus could not have sinned. Those who hold to “peccability” believe that Jesus could have sinned, but did not. Which view is correct? The clear teaching of Scripture is that Jesus was impeccable—Jesus could not have sinned....

I am your constant companion
I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am completely at your command
I am the servant of all great men and, alas, of all failures as well
I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine
You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin, it makes no difference to me
Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will put the world at your feet
Be easy with me and I will destroy you.

I can't give you a flower, not even a true smile, but I can give you a sincere look, that will not say anything but at the same time will say everything. I will like to give you a warm hug, but I can't because my embrace cold although never indifferent, because even though I might seem absent, I have always been by your side.
You don't know how long I have waited for you night and day watching over you, until today-at last, when nothing can separate us. Silence will be our voice, eternal time will be our bed and the dust of the path will be our...

At the very heart of this question lies a fundamental misunderstanding of what both the Old and New Testaments reveal about the nature of God. Another way of expressing this same basic thought is when people say, “The God of the Old Testament is a God of wrath while the God of the New Testament is a God of love.” The fact that the Bible is God’s progressive revelation of Himself to us through historical events and through His relationship with people throughout history might contribute to misconceptions about what God is like in the Old Testament...

When tragedy strikes, it is common for people to ask, “What does this mean?” When we witness some disaster or mass murder, there is a natural feeling that what has happened should not have happened. This innate sense of “wrongness” is a clue to meaning in these events. When we look to find meaning in tragedy, we must have the right perspective. We need to approach the question in a way that allows for a coherent answer, and this is only possible through a Christian worldview. Because God instills meaning into every moment and event in history,...
