Church Unity
Unity in the Church
© C. O. Bishop 10/31/16 THCF 11/6/16
Romans 15:8-13: The Gentiles in Prophecy; Unity between Jewish and Gentile believers.
8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
The Old Testament is full of promises; mostly (but not all) directed specifically to Israel. In the verses we just read, the Apostle Paul states that Jesus came to serve Israel with regard to the truth of God; in confirmation of the promises made to the patriarchs; but also so that the Gentiles might glorify God for his Mercy.
Paul alludes to Isaiah 42:6, 7, where it says that the Messiah would be a covenant (confirmation of the promises) to the people (Israel,) and a light to the Gentiles, providing healing to the nations. He then gives several examples (by no means exhaustive) of the prophecies specifically referring to the Gentiles. He quotes Psalm 18:49; Deuteronomy 32:43; Psalm 117:1, and Isaiah 11:1, 10. There are many other passages that make promises specifically directed to whole Gentile nations, or to all the Gentiles as a group. I suspect that, while the Jewish teachers were aware of the theory that the Gentiles would also inherit the mercy and blessing of God, they were, at best, less than enthusiastic about it. Thus, the seeds of division were still present in the early church, though the foundation for unity had been laid at the Cross.
How are the Gentiles to Fit In? And, how can the Jews be at Peace?
Paul's conclusion regarding the Gentile believers (who were the recipients of this epistle) is, "Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost." They are not to feel inferior to the Jewish believers in any way, nor, as we saw in Romans chapters 9-11, are they to feel superior in any way.
Both groups were condemned under sin, and guilty before God, according to Romans chapters 1-3, and both have been the recipients of God's Grace through the person of Christ, according to Romans chapters 4-8. They are called to be a blessing to one another and live in unity even regarding things about which they traditionally are in disagreement. (See verse 10: they were to rejoice WITH God's people the Jews.) Have you noticed that the Jewish believers (as a whole) were never told to drop their customs and start eating foods they considered unclean?
Peter was commanded (Acts 10) to graciously receive the Gentiles who had come to him in obedience to the angelic command given to the Roman Centurion, Cornelius. And the means by which Peter was commanded was by a vision, wherein he was shown some unclean animals, and was told "Arise, Peter, kill and eat!" Was God commanding him to eat unclean food? No; the three repetitions of the command in the vision were only to prepare him for the three Gentile men who were approaching the front door at that moment. God told him three times that if God had made something clean, he, Peter, had no authority to call it unclean. Peter responded correctly to the Gentiles because God correctly prepared him. Romans chapters 14 and 15 are the equivalent preparation for the whole church—the small differences we may have because of cultural backgrounds, diverging traditions within churches, etc. are not allowed to cause division. All believers share in the blessed hope of Christ. But the seeds of division are still there!
The Gentiles were frustrated by the Jews continual emphasis on the Law, and the feast days, and their dietary restrictions. The Jews were horrified that the Gentiles were not in compliance with all these things. Paul said that they were not to be divided over such things, but rather that they were to appreciate one another, and recognize that, just as each part of a human body has a different task (1st Corinthians 12), so we are to appreciate one another for how each fits into God's Building, the Church.
What about Other differences?
Other potential areas of division (and just as inappropriate) would include styles of ministry, or individual gifting. One Elder may be specifically gifted as a preacher, and he may completely give himself to encouraging, edifying, and comforting the flock (1st Corinthians 14:3). He will be a blessing to all those in his care. People are moved by preaching, and blessed, and their hearts are warmed. They find reassurance, and a stronger faith thereby. All of which is good!
But: another elder in the same assembly may be specifically gifted as a teacher. He may spend countless hours ferreting out the most accurate interpretation for any given passage of scripture, so that he can teach others, also, to clearly understand God's Word. To those hungering to understand, he, too will be a blessing, but in a different way. No one gets "warm fuzzy feelings" over a well-taught point of theology, though some may be thrilled to see how ALL of God's Word holds together in full agreement. But the emotional content simply is not the same.
And yet, both gifts are valid, and need one another, as well as being needed by the assembly. Good application is built upon good interpretation. Good interpretation still requires appropriate application, as well. It is not a safe practice to simply "jump" to application in one's life when reading a passage of scripture. One has to read carefully, and consider what is being said, by whom, to whom, and so forth, before deciding how to apply it. Neither is it appropriate to simply understand a passage. Understanding demands action. This is not just "fun stuff to know and tell." Knowledge is for the purpose of conduct. (Think that over.)
There are cultural divides within major cultures, as well. Music, aesthetics, clothing styles, dietary choices, public behavior, table manners…virtually anything can be a source of division, so long as we are willing to take occasion to do so. The key is to not be willing to break fellowship over such things.
Jew and Gentile issues, again
So, how does all this tie into the issues between the Jewish and the Gentile believers? Consider: How might it help for the Jewish believers to continue on with the Jewish feast days? How might it hurt? How would it help for the Gentile believers to cheerfully go on with their work, their clothing choices and their diets, without regard for the Old Testament Jewish laws? (This is not in reference to moral issues, or things condemned as sin in all dispensations.)
Paul had Timothy circumcised, as a Jew, because he was a Jew, though he had a Gentile father and was not raised as a practicing Jew. He made no attempt to have Titus become a Jewish proselyte, though he had a seemingly identical ministry. Why? Because Timothy was better able to reach Jews with the Gospel, and minister to the needs of Jewish believers, if he fully embraced his Jewish heritage, and was someone they did not see as a renegade, or an apostate. Titus, on the other hand, was a full Gentile by birth, and it would have been detrimental to his testimony to become a Jewish proselyte, because it would add confusion to the message of the Gospel. It may have pacified the "Judaizers", but it would also have strengthened their claim that one has to become a Jew to be saved, which is pure heresy, and which was exactly what Paul was fighting against from the beginning.
This is why it was so important for the believers at Rome to accept one another as they were, without criticism about things that had no bearing on one's relationship with God. The enemy was already at work to divide the newborn church, to split it into warring factions, and to destroy the credibility of its testimony. They could either overcome the differences by obedience to God's Word, or allow the Enemy to destroy the church.
What did the apostle James say about the matter? (Acts 15:19) That the Jewish believers were not to "trouble those who from among the Gentiles had turned to God". The same could be said of the Gentile believers, that they were not to trouble the Jewish believers. The whole issue, here in Romans 14 and 15, is the matter of unity in spite of differences. They could either choose to appreciate one another for the unique ways that God had gifted them, or choose to destroy the work of God through self-centered arrogance.
So, What about Today?
Those are the choices today, as well. It is never a question of condoning sin, but rather of allowing and appreciating liberty within the holiness of God. A well-meaning pastor once accused my youngest son of being a "worldly man" while he himself claimed to be a "Godly man," based entirely upon my son's choice in music. I felt that it was a sad thing, to destroy fellowship over such a thing, and I privately wondered what the music had been that occasioned such an attack, but I didn't ask. A week or so later, my son and I were driving somewhere, and he had some pretty rocky-sounding music playing on his car system; then he said "This is the song that the pastor was complaining about, when he called me a "worldly man." So, I listened more closely to the lyrics, to see what the content of the song really was. This is what I heard: "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me! Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy Holy Spirit from me! Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation…"
The song was the 51st Psalm, set to music. That is what he was being condemned for. Why? Because the human accuser did not like the music. But the Accuser of the Brethren is not human, and he doesn't like the lyrics. He will use any means possible to cause division, and to diminish the effectiveness of the Church. Frequently the damage done is irreparable…the wounded brother quietly leaves, and the accuser feels justified, and grimly quotes, "They went out from among us because they were not of us!"
If you drive away another believer with your criticism, don't accuse them of being unfaithful, or of being false brethren. It is your critical heart that is doing the damage. Ezekiel 34:15-22 says that God sees such doings, and will judge those doing the damage.
15I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD. 16I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.
17And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats. 18Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet? 19And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
20Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. 21Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad; 22Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
Those who are driving away the weaker believers will be judged by God. We need to develop a very tender heart toward such offences, and be very careful about our words and actions.
This is not just about what happens in church, by the way: it is a warning that touches on every human relationship. James says that we all tend to sin with our tongues. We tend to have big mouths, and we need to put a guard on them, so as not to injure others with thoughtless words. The root of the tongue, of course, is the heart. Jesus said, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh."
The self-will and self-centeredness that controls the heart of every unregenerate man is still there, in believers, but we are no longer its slaves. We no longer have to sin. (Romans 6:1-18) We are dead to sin, just as surely as we are dead to the Law. So, we need to set aside the critical spirit that wells up within us, and embrace the New Life in Christ, to the extent that we no longer reject one another based upon differences in tastes, mannerisms, styles, giftedness, or even minor doctrinal differences. It is simply not acceptable to reject one another over things that God accepts…to reject a person whom God says is "Accepted in the Beloved."
The Result?
Paul says that the church is to be filled "with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost."
We are to abound in hope through whose Power? That of the Holy Spirit. This is not a "do-it-yourself" project. We are told to endeavor to "keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of Peace." We don't create that unity, and, as the Psalmist says, "Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it." But we are not to disrupt that unity for the sake of any of the types of things listed here: Not what we eat or drink (both strictly temporal, at worst); not what we wear, not our ministry style, or our taste in music; not what we believe about the end times (which are easily misunderstood at best, and not everyone who is "confused" is necessarily a false teacher.)
We are to be characterized by the Agapé love, not by our many divisions and schisms. Paul sternly warned the Corinthian church against such divisions. (1st Corinthians 1:10-16) They were divided over who their individual mentors had been. Some claimed that Paul was their leader. Others claimed to follow Apollos. Still others took the high road and said "Well I follow Jesus!" That one sounds good, maybe, but what they were actually accomplishing was more division, not corrective teaching. Had they said "Can't we all just follow Jesus? I mean that's who both Paul and Apollos follow, right?" Then, I would say they were part of the solution. But as it is, they were part of the problem of contention, self-will and sectarian pride.
That still happens today: There was a fellow with whom I attended high school, who was not a believer when we graduated. I was a brand new believer at that time. We met about eight or ten years later and he was a brand new, enthusiastic, and friendly, warm brother in the Lord. We had good fellowship! But I met him again, perhaps five years later, in a grocery store, and something had changed:
He asked me what church I attended. I had been attending a Baptist church, because it was local, and because, doctrinally speaking, it was the closest thing I could find, nearby. So that is what I told him: "We've been attending this Baptist Church, up the street." He physically straightened up so that he could look down his nose at me, and in a sanctimonious, smug, self-satisfied tone, said, "Well, I'm still gathering to the name of Jesus!" I was so disappointed to have him respond that way. He had not asked me about my beliefs, nor my practices. The only thing that mattered to him was the fact that I fellowshipped with people who were "part of a denomination." The group with whom he met for fellowship, claimed to have no denominational ties, but, in fact they do! In separating themselves from all other believers, they have become a very tight-knit, world-wide denomination (or at least association). They are tarred with the same brush!
Division is serious business. We are to avoid it like a fatal disease…because it is one! If the Jewish believers were not to reject the Gentile believers because of their worldly habits, and the Gentile believers were not to reject the Jews because of their legalistic bent, and if Paul rebuked the early beginning of sectarianism based on personality cults, then how can we feel we have the right to break fellowship over anything that is not flagrant sin?
We are not to cause division, nor to allow it to continue, if it is possible to heal the rifts. We do not sacrifice sound doctrine to create a false unity…called Ecumenism; but we do seek to maintain unity with those who truly believe the Bible is God's Word, and who see the Priorities of the Gospel as paramount. It is difficult to sort out, sometimes, but we must be committed to the unity of the true church while not abandoning the Holiness of God.
Lord Jesus, give us the wisdom through your Word, and by your Holy Spirit to discern good and evil, and renew in us a pure heart with which to offer the agapé love to those around us. Apart from your divine help and intervention and empowerment, the task is impossible. Arm us for the fight, and fill us with your Joy, for the sake of your honor and glory.
What About Israel? (Part Three)
What about Israel? (Part three)
© C. O. Bishop 2/29/16 THCF 4/10/16
Romans 10:1-21
We have begun exploring Paul's treatise in Romans chapters 9-11, explaining the current state of Israel, and how they still fit into God's plans. Paul has already said how he feels toward Israel, not just as a nation, but specifically toward his fellow Jews. We saw how they rejected Jesus when He lived among them, and rejected His offer of salvation by grace through faith alone. The result has been that the Gentiles who were not even looking for a savior were then offered salvation…and many have joyfully received Him.
But Israel, who claimed to be seeking righteousness, and to be waiting for the Messiah, sought to do so by works of the Law, and had rejected faith. So, when their Messiah arrived, they rejected Him out of hand, as most still do today. They stumbled over the stumbling-stone that God set up throughout all the ages. Faith in a substitutionary sacrifice has always been the stumbling point. Cain rejected the blood sacrifice, and most people do, today, as a matter of fact. Jews and Gentiles alike stumble over this issue. But the Jews are a special tragedy, since it was their king, their Messiah, for whom they had waited, who they ultimately rejected.
What is Israel's Position, Now?
10: 1Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
So, where does that leave Israel? Has God abandoned them? Paul says they do have a zeal for God, but not based on a genuine knowledge of His righteousness; that because they are ignorant (agnoountes…without knowledge) of the holy righteousness of God, they have worked to establish their own style of righteousness, sourced in self-will; they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God. This is true of non-Jews, too. We insist that we can have a "do-it-yourself" salvation; a self-righteous standing before a holy God. Throughout the Bible, when people saw God, they usually collapsed in despair, seeing their own unrighteousness compared to His eternal Holiness. Isaiah 6 says that when the prophet Isaiah saw the LORD, he said "Woe is me! I am undone! I am a man of unclean lips!" The Apostle John simply collapsed. The prophet Daniel was in similar condition. No one who truly sees the holiness of God will ever again see himself as sufficient.
Paul goes on to further explain the plight of the Jews. He makes no excuses for their position, but also does not treat them as being "beyond hope": Quite the contrary; his greatest desire is that they might be saved. They are his family, in the broader sense. He says that in terms of the righteousness of God (which they claim to desire), they have truly missed the point:
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
The End of the Law for Righteousness
Paul declares that, had they embraced their Messiah, (as they say they will do, if He ever shows up, but in fact they did not do, when He did arrive), they would now be free from the Law of Moses as pertaining to personal righteousness.
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
Paul quotes Leviticus 18:5, here: under the Law, it was said, "if you do these things you will live." That is not what the Gospel says. Moses brought a Law, saying "DO THIS and live!" The Law (and most Human religions) says "DO!" ("Do or Die", in fact.) But Jesus offers something entirely different: in Romans 7 we saw that the Law was specifically inaugurated to show us that we CAN'T "do the things of righteousness." The more we understand the righteousness of God, the more completely we realize the hopelessness of attempting to achieve such righteousness through our own efforts. And that was the intent of the Law: that we should be driven to the Messiah as our only hope. So: Jesus died to fulfil the demands of the Law toward sinners (you and me), and said "it is finished!" Where the Law said "Do!" Jesus said "It's Done!"
If they knew the Messiah, they would know that the righteousness He provides puts an end to the involvement of the Law in producing righteousness. Law never could produce righteousness; it could only advertise the lack thereof. The Jews constantly thought that they could produce righteousness through works, just as most world religionists insist today. God says they can't. In fact, Paul pointed out in Galatians 2:21 that, if righteousness could be attained by means of the Law, then Jesus died for nothing.
Here, in Romans 10, he simply says that Christ is the "end of the Law for righteousness", to everyone that believes. The word "end" is "telos" in Greek…and it simply means "the end": "termination"…not "fulfillment". Yes, Jesus was the fulfillment of the Law; but in this passage, it clearly says he was the end of the law for righteousness. Law keeping is not even to be the outward sign of righteousness, in this age. Jesus said (John 13:34, 35) "by this shall all men know ye are my disciples"…how? If you keep the law? No: "If you have love one to another."
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Paul points out the sharp contrast between Law and Grace. Grace says that the word of faith, preached by Christ and all his servants, is the truth; and that "if you believe it…you shall be saved." Notice I left out the "confess" part. Not because confession of faith is not important, but because the faith part is what saves you. Genuine faith will result in confession of that faith, but a strict adherence to the idea that "confession with the mouth" is part of what saves you would exclude every mute person in history. Jesus said that whoever believes the Gospel has eternal life now, period. (John 5:24) Paul reiterated it when he told the Philippian Jailer, (Acts 16:31) "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved!"
Calling Upon the Name of the Lord
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
What does it mean to "call upon the name of the Lord?" By the host of passages that say, "believe…and be saved", "look, and live", etc., I would say that believing the Gospel, and claiming Jesus as your only hope for salvation is what moves a person from "death row" to full release in Christ. It requires a conscious decision: no one is "born saved". If anyone tells me "Oh, I've always been a Christian!" I have serious doubts that they are saved at all. When we talk about "repentance" (which comes up a lot in scripture), usually the Greek word is "metanoia"…meaning a "change of mind". There is a conscious change of mind involved, in choosing to take Jesus Christ as your savior…in deciding that His blood sacrifice is the payment for your sins. Whether it is public or private, spoken or silent, that decision must be made.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Paul points out an interesting chain of ideas, here: He says, "Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (quoting Joel 2:32). That implies a conscious decision…a choice. Then he poses a series of questions: "How can they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe on Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach except they be sent?" This is "Missions," friends! He is flatly telling you that if people don't hear the Gospel they will not be saved. And that, if we are to be a part of the fulfillment of the Great Commission, we have to either be sending preachers or going ourselves as preachers. It can't be any clearer. But obedience is scarce.
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Paul concludes that "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God". That is a pretty solid passage pointing out the necessity of hearing and believing the Gospel, for salvation. We could already have concluded such a thing by reading Jesus' promise in John 5:24 and many other, similar passages; Jesus said, "He that hears my Word and believes on Him who sent me, has eternal life…" Sounds pretty clear, all right. The problem is the response of the people. Paul states the problem, in the next few verses: Not everyone who hears the Gospel believes it.
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
Israel, as a nation, has rejected the message of the Gospel, the messengers of the Gospel (the apostles and prophets) and the Messiah of the Gospel, Jesus Christ. So, can the Jews be saved?
Of course they can, exactly the same as anyone else! Unbelief is not the "unforgiveable sin"; otherwise every person in history would be unredeemable: we are all guilty of unbelief at one level or another. When a rebellious, proud, self-centered unbeliever (as I was) changes his mind (that is what "repentance" means) and chooses Jesus for his blood-sacrifice for sin, he is saved…regardless of his past unbelief and other sins.
Is Israel still God's chosen people? Absolutely…but they are having a "time-out" right now. The time is coming when they will again be central to God's rule on Earth…He says that His reign will be from Jerusalem, and that all the inhabitants of that city will be Holy to God, and they will be a nation of priests…a kingdom of priests. This is not the same as the promise that the Church will be kings and priests. We are a different group. The promises to Israel are to Israel. The promises to the Church are to the Church.
Paul points out, also, that they have had more than adequate warning. God said that the sound of the message has gone out to the whole earth, and that He would make His people jealous through a foolish nation, and through insignificant peoples (from human perspective, as they did not comprise nations, or clear-cut ethnic groups, but were simple tribes and villages.) He said that people who had made no attempt to seek the God of Israel, were going to find him, while the people who claim to be seeking God, are in fact being sought constantly by the one true God, and have consistently ignored His voice, down through the millennia…and so fail to see Him.
"Replacement Theology" is a Snare
There have been people for centuries—whole cults, in some cases—who have gotten the idea that the Church is the "new Israel", and that God has permanently replaced Israel with the Church or even some particular nation. (There was quite a movement that believed Britain had replaced Israel, but it has lost momentum.) I don't know how anyone can read Romans 9-11 and still believe that God had rejected Israel permanently. Perhaps, in their desire to "claim the promises" made to Israel, they honestly believe that they can seize the promises by fulfilling the Law at one level or another. But they are missing the point of relationship.
When I was a child, my father offered each of us kids $5 (a lot of money back then) to memorize a certain poem (Rudyard Kipling's "If"). Suppose a neighbor child up the street had taken the initiative to memorize the poem, and tried to claim that prize? Should Dad have felt compelled to honor a promise he never offered to that child? There was a relationship involved: we were his offspring, and it was an exclusive relationship, whether anyone else approved or not. Could he have chosen to include them? Of course he could, but he was under no obligation to do so.
God entered into an exclusive, unilateral covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15. God made the promise, and there was nothing for Abraham to do but believe it. In similar manner God has continued to broaden and extend that relationship through faith to believers ever since.
But part of the promise was to the physical "seed" of Abraham. That promise, including the land and the lineage of the Messiah, was continually narrowed, not broadened. It was narrowed to Isaac, in exclusion of Ishmael, as well as Midian, and his five brothers; sons of Abraham with Keturah. (By the way, the promise to Isaac was never rescinded.) It was later narrowed to Jacob, in exclusion of Esau. Part of the promise (the coming Messiah) was narrowed to the house of David, and then many generations later, it specifically excluded Jehoiachin (also called Jeconiah, or Coniah), by name, saying that none of his offspring would inherit the crown, because of specific sin in his life. Finally, it centered upon the person of Jesus, who was the son of David through Mary; bypassing the cursed line of Jeconiah (from whom Joseph was descended), via the virgin birth. But the promise of the land remained to the children of Jacob—Israel—no other nation, or people. The Priesthood still was exclusively offered to the house of Aaron. None of those things changed until the destruction of the temple. Even now, if Israel was to rebuild the temple, they would have to come up with some Levites, and, hopefully, sons of Aaron, to serve as priests. But Jesus is the High Priest, in heaven, and will eventually reign on earth.
The promises to the Church are different, and not earthly, as a whole. They are heavenly in nature, and while we have the privilege of serving the God of Israel, we are in a different (and better) relationship. Ironically, any Jew today who believes in Jesus as his Messiah becomes part of this "New Man", and is no longer technically part of Israel. He has "upgraded" to being part of the Bride of Christ. He is no longer just a "guest" at the wedding feast, but a part of the Bride.
How Should We Then Respond to Israel?
Once, years ago, I unexpectedly received an upgrade from economy to business class on an airliner. I was amazed at the difference in accommodations, leg-room, comfort and food! I was on the same aircraft as before, but in a completely different area, and was being treated accordingly. At the wedding feast of the Lamb, there will be many guests…but the Bride is in a special category. Don't try to move into the "guest" area, when you are part of the Bride.
We must recognize the importance of Israel, and pray for the peace of Jerusalem: we are called to do both. Value the Jews highly, as a group, and as individuals. Reach out to them in friendship and Love. But don't try to become a "part of Israel", by attempting to keep the feasts and the Law. Continue to invite them to become part of the Bride, by Grace, through Faith.
Lord Jesus, help us to walk in the reality of our blessed relationship with the King, and seek to reach others for your Glory!

Single cell epitaxy by acoustic picolitre droplets
The capability to encapsulate single to few cells with micrometre precision, high viability, and controlled directionality via a nozzleless ejection technology using a gentle acoustic field would have great impact on tissue engineering, high throughput screening, and clinical diagnostics. We demonstrate encapsulation of single cells (or a few cells) ejected from an open pool in acoustic picolitre droplets. We have developed this technology for the specific purpose of printing cells in various biological fluids, including

I'm beginning to think that unmanned aerial vehicles—usually referred to as drones—are going to be next year's must-have Christmas gift after their stunning Christmas-time performance at London's Gatwick Airport.
For those who missed the excitement, mysterious drones appeared at Gatwick last week and shut down the entire airport for three days as security officials could not be certain what threat they posed. Those officials finally deployed "unidentified military technology" to protect the airport, and they have since arrested a man and a woman, neither of whom have been identified.
We might have guessed that giving civilians access to drone technology for fun and profit would lead to problems. After all, their initial use was military for spying on enemies and then assassinating them when desired—extrajudicial killings with a Jetsons-like twist.
It is indeed fun to think about a Jetsons-like world in which our packages are delivered by friendly drones (already being pioneered by Amazon). But anyone who gets a drone next Christmas could decide to park one near your home and take pictures from a discreet distance.
Gatwick is lucky to have a gaggle of security people to counter drones that threaten it. What could you do in your home? Would you even notice a drone hovering several hundred feet away?
An irate neighbor armed with a drone might decide to surreptitiously drop dog poop on your front steps. If the same neighbor is a little crazy, he might mount a gun on the drone and shoot you from a safe distance. How will anyone know who even shot you?
I can imagine the public demanding drone control legislation and (at least in the United States) the National Drone Association mobilizing its members to protect the right to bear drones. The association's solution to the threat from drones will be for every home and business to have its own 24-hour sentry drone ready to shoot down invaders—a sort of mini Battle of Britain in every neighborhood.
This absurd scenario has already become a reality at Gatwick Airport. It stems from our belief that new technologies cannot and should not be stopped—and that (again, at least in the United States) we citizens have no right to demand that those new technologies which are potentially dangerous to the public be shown safe and useful before they are unleashed in an uncontrolled experiment.
We thought at one time that nuclear fission could easily be transferred from the theater of war into civilian life through the Atoms for Peace idea which promised electricity that was "too cheap to meter." That process turned out to be far more complicated and fraught with danger than we imagined.
Many still believe genetic engineering of plants and now humans will allow us to become masters of the living world. But the living world is far more complex than our imaginings of it. And, our attempts to control it through genetic engineering put the entire planet of living things in jeopardy because of unintended and unanticipated consequences that can propagate through entire living systems.
As for drones, for the moment, if you want to get famous in a hurry, acquire some drones and fly them over sensitive public or military infrastructure and watch the security forces close in on you with reporters not far behind. It's not clear how more incidents like the one at Gatwick Airport can be avoided without intrusively regulating who can buy drones, what uses they can be put to, and regular surveillance of those owning them to make sure they don't do anything stupid.
How many of us think that that kind of intrusiveness should become a regular part of our society? And, how many more glittering new technologies will force us to face the same issues that we face with drones, issues related to the miniaturization and reduction in cost of existing technologies in a way that enables any individual to pose a far greater threat to society than ever before?

Thoughts & Tactics for Practice Group SEO
We're used to thinking about search engine optimization (SEO) as a tool for law firms' general web presence. But a growing opportunity, still under many firms' radar, lies with a slightly different approach: practice group SEO, tailoring SEO tactics for specific practice areas within the firm. In many respects, practice focused SEO has the potential to be substantially more effective than the firm's larger SEO strategy, which is often (necessarily) broad and less aligned with the services provided.
Let's look at an example of how practice groups typically use search engines to improve business development. A patent law practice group, for instance, would start by selecting a phrase representative of one element of the group's services — say, "patent licensing Canada." The first step is to identify how often people type this phrase into Google each month; for illustration purposes, we'll make it 3,000, or 36,000 annually. The practice group could respond to this information by positioning an on-subject paper, service page, or website at the top of the Google search results. Over the course of a single year, those 36,000 searches represent a consistently strong opportunity to showcase that group's expertise.
Repeat this scenario for any portfolio of related phrases, and a practice group will boost its exposure in front of its desired audience. Consequently, the group's members will also improve the number of qualified contacts they receive and increase their ability to generate new relationships and potential work.
There are some specific techniques that law firms can employ to improve their "practice group findability" on the web. Here are some recommendations:
1. Conduct keyword research on niche service areas. It's important to know the number of monthly searches conducted for a specific area of practice. With a strong grasp of the terms and phrases people use, groups can determine some key strategic information:
(a) whether there's demand for a subject online: confirm if a "hot topic" really is popular, or if a casual industry phrase is worth more focused attention.
(b) preferred phrases: which phrases are used most commonly? Are you using language that's too sophisticated, or not sophisticated enough?
(c) preferred keyword order: Search engines deliver different results based on the word order of your search. Knowing these variations can change your approach; see the next entry on selecting titles.
2. Select the best titles for publications. Choose titles for group articles and papers based on the results of your keyword research, directing attention to both volume (frequently searched) phrases and keyword order. And remember to be descriptive: practice groups that choose descriptive titles have an opportunity to be found.
3. Set up microsites for practice groups. Examples include blogs, FAQ collections, and single-subject websites. By selecting a domain name that matches a high-volume search, a website can be more subject-focused, and consequently will perform strongly for that subject in the search engines.
4. Create a "deep link" strategy. Many websites (LinkedIn or Google Profiles, for example) allow you to link back to webpages on your site. Rather than sending these links to the firm homepage, practice group members should, whenever possible, point links to:
(a) their practice group web page, or
(b) their personal lawyer profile page.
5. Create Service Pages. These are sub-pages to the practice group homepage. The group would identify niche service areas and create dedicated webpages (or from an SEO perspective, "landing pages") for that service offering. These pages expose more depth about the group's expertise and create more opportunity for search traffic. These pages are optimized for their subject, and can deliver targeted page titles based on keyword research.
6. Conduct new article and publication outreach. When your practice group releases a paper, video, article, or any publication, to whom can you send it? Remember that incoming links are "votes" in Google for higher search-engine rankings. Practice groups should spend some time identifying who they know online: bloggers, industry writers, media, or anyone who can help expose content publishing by the group.
7. Use keywords (authentically) in the body text. Once you know the high-volume search phrases, you must use those phrases within the text you write. This shouldn't be done in an excessive manner, but do consider using target phrases once or twice within the body of your writing.
8. Place subheadings on practice pages. Breaking up larger text blocks is a natural writing technique online anyway, so if you're adding section headers, consider aligning those headers with your volume phrase targets.
These techniques, when used consistently within and across practice groups, should generate the right kind of site traffic and yield measurably improved business development results.

Price: £195
Flex: 6
Sizes: 5-13
Lacing system: Laces
The Lashed is one of – if not the – most popular snowboard boot ever made, and is Thirty Two's biggest seller year after year. The reasons for this are relatively simple: You get a fair bit for your money in terms of tech, it's versatile and well-suited to a wide variety of riding styles, and it looks cool.
Thirty Two have always prided themselves on making super-light boots. Apparently this year's 'STI evolution foam' outsole, featured on the Lashed, makes this year's range even lighter than last year's and means Thirty Two's boots remain "the lightest in the industry". The 'intuition foam' liners mould to your feet nice and quickly making these boots comfortable and there's a speed-lacing version if that's what floats your boat. The middle of the range flex means you can happily hit the park as well as straight-lining pistes or powder fields and Thirty Two team rider Chris Bradshaw even uses these on street rails. So all in all, they're a great all-rounder.

SPOT again, the confusion
Alas, my fantasy life is not Clark Beek exhilarating. In fact you might deem it rather pathetic, like yesterday's imaginary turn at the New York Times copy desk red-lining the bejezum out of a blurb about SPOT. The NYT's Circuits section is usually sharp on gadgets I already know something about, but this particular piece is loaded with mistakes and misunderstandings (bigger edit image here). Ditto the commenters section on a recent Endgadget SPOT entry (which I tried to correct). And this PLB rescue story apparently confused that technology with Spot's before it was corrected. In fact, SPOT is racking up some rescues (see Anchorage article), and there is good dope about it on the Web (like on Panbo, I think).
But there's a larger problem here, I'm pretty sure. An already tech inundated boating citizenry is about to be deluged with all sorts of gadgets that combine GPS and communications for one purpose or another, or several at once. Let's see, we're going to have VHF radios that do DSC (maybe tracking too), cell phones that chart and track, little blackbox security thingies, and lots, lots more. How about GPS-Buddy, which turns your Garmins into fleet tracking, monitoring, and management tools (vehicles now, boats eventually?). This stuff is going to confuse everyone, including a lot of tech journalists. Mistakes will be made. En garde!
PS. Yo, New York Times tech edit department: call me!

Are you looking to eat healthier? But, either you do not know where to start or need more recipe ideas to help you get there. Then, you are just like me. I really do want to eat healthier more often. I am not ready to give up meat that is for sure. I could, though, eat more vegetarian and vegan meals more often. To that end, I have really come to like lentils. Lentils are really good for you and they are pretty hearty.
Lentils are a legume a bean. They are great to work with because they cook pretty quickly and absorb whatever flavors are in the dish. They retain there shape after cooking. They are super high in nutritional value (see link provided at the beginning of this paragraph). Do you know where they originated and how long ago? The links I found suggest that lentils originated in Greece some 13,000 years ago. Not quite as long ago as that, they they showed up in Syria and Turkey 8000 and 6000 years ago, respectively. My Moroccan Lentils owe there origins to these regions of the world.
I can't believe that I am eating lentils. If you told me, only a few years ago, that I would be eating lentils, and liking it, I would tell you that you are lying. Come on now, lentils. I did not even know what they were. If I had heard of them it was from some vegetarian friend of mine. No way, I was going over to their house for dinner. Am I alone here? Now, I am looking for more and more ways to eat them.
The spices for this recipe are all Moroccan but I build the texture with vegetables I love. This Moroccan Lentils recipe includes peppers – you knew that was coming – onions and garlic. Combine the onions, garlic with the Moroccan spices and the combination would be good on anything. This dish is really easy to prepare. Mix the spices into the onions. Add the rest of the veggies for texture. The lentils are cooked in water separately and then mixed with the vegetable spice mixture to come together for the final dish.
- 1/2 pound of Lentils
- 1 medium yellow onions
- 4 sweet peppers, various colors
- 3 tomatoes on the vine, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 - 10 ounce bag of spinach
- 1 tablespoon Moroccan spice mixture (bought at my local spice shop)
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons safflower or avocado oil
- In a pot of boiling water, cook the lentils according to the bag instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a skillet on medium heat, warm the oil.
- Add in the onions, peppers and spices.
- Cook for 3 - 4 minutes until the onions and peppers begin to soften.
- Add in the tomatoes and cook out most of there liquid.
- Add in the spinach and cook until just wilted.
- Finish by adding the drained lentils into the pan and let the flavors meld for a few minutes.
- While the flavors are coming together, fry your eggs. Leave them sunny side up.
- To serve, take the eggs and top the lentils.
- Enjoy!
Onions with spices; then peppers, tomatoes and finish by adding spinach.
The final dish all assembled and topped with a fried egg.

Report: Amazon wants robots that can do the work of warehouse pickers
Amazon has implemented robots and other automating technologies in a variety of ways–especially in its warehouses. The company has tried to assuage fears of robots taking over human roles by saying that certain roles won't be automated. One of those jobs is the "picker," or someone who grabs items and places them in the areas to be shipped. But according to a new report in the Information, those jobs may no longer be safe. According to unnamed people with knowledge of the situation, Amazon is looking into robots that can do this picking action.
The company, in a statement to the original report, admitted that Amazon is always looking into new technologies to streamline the workflow, but that human employees are usually better at performing a variety of tasks that robots may not be able to do. Still, the spokesperson told the Information, "We need advanced technology and automation to meet customer demand—it's just that simple."

Leadership in a Smart Machine Age
While machine intelligence promises breakthroughs that improve the quality of human life as well as the condition of our planet, we need to be cautious. Critics point to significant limitations including the magnification of our cognitive biases in the algorithms that run our smart machines.
As bias researcher Sigal Barsade recently remarked in an interview "You can be the most consciously unbiased, progressive thinker and still have unconscious biases that come from our culture and things you experienced as a child, and they don't necessarily align with your beliefs" Knowledge at Wharton, 2018). Additionally, the accelerating pace of work combined with a dearth of time for reflection may conspire to limit our ability to learn from each other and our experiences.

Waymo's cars drive 10 million miles a day in a perilous virtual world
So today Waymo not only announced that its vehicles have clocked more than 10 million miles since 2009. It also revealed that its software now drives the same distance inside a sprawling simulated version of the real world every 24 hours—the equivalent of 25,000 cars driving 24/7. Waymo has covered more than 6 billion virtual miles in total.
This virtual test track is incredibly important to Waymo's efforts to demonstrate that its cars are safe, says Dmitri Dolgov, the firm's CTO. It lets engineers test the latest software updates on a wide variety of new scenarios, including situations that haven't been seen on real roads. It also makes it possible to test scenarios that would be too risky to set up for real, like other vehicles driving recklessly at high speed.

Last month, two students at Central Michigan University and their professor were commended by a local law enforcement agency for their help in cracking a case of suspected embezzlement. As undergraduates in CMU's accounting program, the students utilized what is known as forensic accounting to analyze financial records and to identify shortfalls, indicating that embezzlement was not only possible, but probable. While forensic accounting is certainly very valuable in the investigation of white-collar crime, it can play a significant role in divorce cases, as well, particularly in complex financial situations where hidden assets could be an issue.
The Issues of Hidden Assets
In any divorce situation, the law in Illinois requires the marital estate to be divided equitably between the divorcing spouses. The first step in doing so is to identify all of the couple's marital assets, which could be nearly impossible if both spouses are not completely forthcoming about their finances. All too often, one spouse will attempt to hide assets or revenue streams from his or her spouse in the hope that they will not be affected by the divorce process. Hiding assets can be especially tempting in situations where one spouse has almost full control over the household finances or in which business ownership can provide a level of cover for secretive behavior.
The Role of Forensic Accounting
A forensic accountant is, as you might expect, an accountant who is particularly adept at identifying inconsistencies in financial records. Through careful analysis of revenue, cash flow, expenditures, and tax liabilities, he or she will often be able to find holes in a deceptive spouse's claims, and demand explanations for missing or unexplained extra money.
Depending upon the circumstances of your marriage and divorce, you may want to consider adding a professional trained in forensic accounting to your divorce team. Hiring a forensic accountant can be critical if you fear that your spouse is using his or her business interests to unduly keep assets out of the property division process. While you and your attorney may be able to sort through normal, household financial and investment records relatively easily, business interests are often much more complex, with ample opportunity for hiding money or sources of revenue. The help of a dedicated professional, in such situations, can be all the more important.
Reliable Legal Representation
At Bochte, Kuzniar & Navigato, P.C., we understand the importance of building a comprehensive divorce team to assist you in achieving the equitable divorce outcome you deserve. Contact an experienced Kane County family law attorney for more information. We will work with you to find hidden assets and property, and will advocate on your behalf at every stage in the process.

Redecorating is not a task that everyone looks forward to doing. DIY is something that many of us find a bit daunting. After all, not everyone has the time, skills and cash needed to make a good job of redecorating. However, as you will see, with the right mindset and approach all of these perceived issues can actually be overcome.
Look for the easy option
The first thing you need to do is to always look for the easiest way to get the job done. You do not necessarily have to take the same approach as everyone else does. For example, to avoid having to get down on your hands and knees to repaint the skirting every time you redecorate just install some new ogee skirting board instead.
*collaborative post*
This classic skirting board design blends in well with virtually any style of decor, which makes it a particularly good choice for homeowners. All you need to do is to buy the veneered type, install it and forget about it. Provided you look after it properly, it will never need repainting again.
Consider reworking what you have
Taking what you already own and updating it is a good way to save money. Often, it will also make your life easier. If you are lucky, you may already have what you need, in your shed. For example, you only need a little bit of paint to be able to update a piece of furniture. If it is spare white paint, you can just add a few drops of dye and use it to create a feature wall or something similar.
Don't be afraid of trying something new
Learning new skills is essential to making decorating easier. So, be prepared to step out of your comfort zone, occasionally. Every time you do so, you will learn something. This is the case even if you do not quite get the results you want. The chances are the next time you will.
Be prepared to borrow what you need
If you want to try to learn a new DIY skill and do not own the right equipment, consider borrowing what you need. Usually, friends and family will be more than happy to help you out. If you are really lucky you will be able to find a tool co-operative or perhaps a woodworking club, in your area. Often they will lend you what you need or only charge a nominal hire rate.
Simple ideas work best
When it comes to home decor, you really do not have to make big changes to make a significant difference. If you are not convinced, I suggest that you take a look at this article that I published in June. It tells you about a simple project which totally transforms a big space, in less than an hour. As you will see from reading that post you really do not need lots of time and a huge budget to make your home a nicer place to be.
If you like that article, I also suggest that you take a look at this one. Each of the 21 DIY projects you will find detailed there will take you only 5 minutes to do. You are bound to find a couple of ideas that you like and can use in your own home.

I am building my first survey with Survey123 Connect for ArcGIS. I want a "Crew Start Time" and "Crew End Time" field, which I have successfully added to the survey.
It looks like when the data is displayed in the data table, it is automatically entered in military time. Is there a way to change this format so that it says AM or PM?
Thanks for any help!

Unique Gifts
Golfers Gift BasketsWritten by Sarah Provost
Just about everybody has a golfer in the family, office or among his or her circle of friends. And since most golfers are avid about their sport, that makes things easy for us on gift-giving occasions. Giving serious equipment is risky unless we are certain what our golfer wants, and often too expensive for our budgets. But golf-related gifts are easy to find on the Internet.
Gift Baskets for Golfers
There are many gift baskets for golfers, and they come in a wide assortment of styles and themes. Your sister-in-law might enjoy a humorous basket that includes golf towels with witty sayings on them, fortune cookies with golf-related fortunes, even a golf joke book or a blooper video. Your boss might like one that comes with brass markers, personalized tees or a divot tool.
Can coolers are great gifts for those who carry their beverages around the course. And if you know it would please your golfer, you can give him or her a "19th hole" basket. It might contain the mixings for his or her favorite cocktail and some appropriate snacks, such as nuts, crackers and cheeses, pretzels and so on.
Containers for golf gifts might be usable gifts in themselves, such as wire ball caddy baskets or a golf shoe bag. Many gifts can also be personalized, such as golf balls, tees, and markers. Finally, you can keep their golf dreams alive when they can't be on the links with golf-themed mouse pads, note cubes and calendars.

A Hypothesis About The Supply Function In The Tourist Industry

This paper deals with the supply function trend in the tourism industry. In this regard, Sraffa's theory is based on a strong link between a perfectly competitive system and supply at constant cost and consequently with stabile supply prices. The paper's purpose is to present an analysis of specific problems of the supply trend in the tourism industry. Brief research shows that the tourism industry has a decreasing trend. The supply function's character is due to internal economies and chiefly to external economies. An analysis on trends of the tourism industry proves that this sector of the economy operates in a system that is not of perfect competition but is characterized by imperfect or monopolistic competition. At a certain point of function we can remark on an opposite trend because the function begins to rise. Keywords: supply function, tourism development, environmental quality, political economy. 1 The Sraffian hypothesis of a constant supply function in a perfectly competitive market The trend of the supply function of an industry is a crucial problem for the contemporary economy. The theory of supply has been extensively discussed in Economics, which has developed explanatory hypotheses on several occasions. It is only worth mentioning here the distinction between a company and an industry, the former being an individual productive unit with its own supply function and the latter a sum of the companies existing on the market. Thus, all the companies form the industry as a whole, and the sum of the companies supply determines the supply of the industry. A fundamental assumption of the

Youth in India take on tribal elders to end virginity test of brides
By Roli Srivastava
Thomson Reuters Foundation (06.02.2018) – http://tmsnrt.rs/2Bf345x – Vivek Tamaichikar didn't think of food and festivities when he started planning for his marriage this year in western India. He instead started a campaign against the virginity test that elders would impose on his bride.
The couple are members of the nomadic Kanjarbhat tribe, which is spread across states including Maharashtra. Members follow caste councils, comprised of elders who dictate rules including rituals performed on wedding nights.
Newlyweds are asked to consummate the marriage while elders sit outside their room.
The bride is first checked by women for any wounds she could possibly bleed from, and the groom is allowed into the room only after that.
Afterword, he tells the council if his wife was a virgin – a verdict that hinges on whether or not she bled during sex.
Young women who fail this test may be abandoned or face a "social boycott", even though Maharashtra has banned village councils from imposing such penalties.
Tamaichikar, 28, said his family told him that he and his bride would be ostracised by the community if they refused the test.
"I realised the societal pressure was huge and decided to speak publicly against it," Tamaichikar told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Childhood memories of a woman who failed the virginity test also contributed to his decision.
"I remember enjoying my cousin's marriage party one night, and seeing her being beaten up the next morning," he said.
Unelected caste councils hold sway in various communities in India, delivering judgements and punishments to those defying their rules. India's Supreme Court in 2011 described one such council in northern India as a "kangaroo court".
Nandini Jadhav of Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti, which campaigns against superstitious practices, said the advocacy group has been fighting virginity tests for five years.
"Even women do not see anything wrong in checking a girl's virginity," said Jadhav, adding that more young men are now speaking out.
"The message is reaching a wider set of people." Tamaichikar's group has expanded from about half a dozen young members to about 60 since he started it in December.
This is the first time members of his community – where even doctors have obeyed the council's rules – are speaking against the ritual. "At least the doctors could have explained to the community that the virginity test was not scientific," Tamaichikar said. "But they didn't, fearing a boycott."

Oregon State University and the US Bureau of Reclamation collaborated for eight years on the US Western Water Institutional Solutions Project in order to better understand water conflict and cooperation in the western United States and to increase the US Bureau of Reclamation's institutional capacity. The project consisted of several aspects detailed below:
As part of his PhD dissertation research, Nathan Eidem analyzed the social, economic, and environmental aspects of the Upper Colorado River Region from 1970-2005 and produced a case study of the hydropolitics in the Upper San Juan Basin. The reports are available below. Nathan's dissertation titled Enhancing social-ecological resilience in the Colorado River Basin is available on OSU's Scholar's Archive. Check out the Colorado River Basin Research page for more research and data.
For her Master's research, Mariya Pak evaluates the Bureau of Reclamation's water governance practices and studies how agencies interact with each other while governing water. She identifies and describes old and new tools used for better water governance practices, and seeks to understand institutional, socioeconomic, and political factors that might facilitate or hinder change in governance practices. Her thesis titled Assessing water governance capacity in the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Albuquerque Area Office is available on OSU's Scholar's Archive.
OSU and the Bureau of Reclamation hosted focus groups in 2007 and 2009 as well as a workshop in 2008 to determine ways to increase the Bureau's institutional capacity, particularly through the identification of incentives and disincentives for conflict management and cooperation through collaboration. Summaries of the groups and workshops are available below:
OSU Graduate Kim Ogren conducted an analysis of incentives and disincentives for cooperation and conflict in water management. She explored how they factored into the Bureau's decision making through two case studies on the Bureau 's response to the endangered silvery minnow in the Middle Rio Grande Basin and implementation of the Water 2025 Initiative. Her work cuminated in her Master's thesis titled An investigation and analysis of the incentives and disincentives for conflict prevention and mitigation in the Bureau of Reclamation's water management, which is available on OSU's Scholar's Archive. The outcomes of her work resulted in several reports:
To see if event coding could be done by automatically by computers, computer science students completed a course project, Supervised LDA for Transboundary Freshwater Dispute Database. This work was expanded upon by Walker Orr (OSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science), a student of Dr. Prasad Tadepalli, to develop a tool that employs artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques. Learn more about events coding through the Basins at Risk Project and the International Water Event Database.
The tool is free and available for download: we recommend downloading the installation instructions first and follow them as you download the zipped folder containing the tool.
From 2008-2012, Dr. Aaron Wolf and others from Oregon State University (OSU) conducted five collaborative competency and conflict management training workshops at Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) offices in:
Specific materials were developed for these courses on Sharing Water, Building Relations: Managing and Transforming Water Conflict in the US West. Each a participant was given a participant workbook; a complementary Instructor's manual was also developed so that others can benefit from the training courses. Together these served as the primary training materials for the course.
At the beginning of each workshop, participants completed a questionnaire pertaining to their experience with conflict management and collaboration at the Bureau of Reclamation. At the end of the training sessions, participants evaluated the course. These questionnaires were analyzed and summary reports are available:

Leatherby Libraries Celebrates National Arab-American Heritage Month with a Display of Books from the Collection
April 22, 2019
Arab-Americans make up just about one percent of the US population. Despite the fact that they are such a small demographic, Arab-Americans have played an integral role in American society. Notable Arab-Americans include comedian Casey Kasem, activist Ralph Nader, and inventor of the heart pump Dr. Michael DeBakey. When celebrating Arab-American Heritage Month, it is important to make a distinction between ethnicity and faith. The term Arab is not representative of a religion, although it is commonly associated with Islam. Many Arab-Americans are practicing Christians, Jews, and Muslims.
