Kaylee
if you have asked Christ into your life then the holy spirit -LCB- he is the spirit of Christ -RCB- dwells within you it is him that
changes us all we have
to do is tell him that we are weak in whatever area we struggle.You mention alcohol when tempted
to drink just tell him Lord i am weak but i am trusting in your strength
to empower me and he will thats is how we change.
If we try and do it in our strength we might succeed for a couple of
times then fall back into our old patterns.Then it becomes forgive me Lord for my sin we feel guilt and condemned and that is the work of the enemy who is out
to destroy our faith in God and because of our feelings we go and do the same things all over again.But we have a better way and that is
to trust the one who is able
to overcome having been set free
from my old life style of sin i am grateful each day
to be walking in his strength not mine.So the Lord has given you the victory in Christ and even
if we stumble sometimes in the process we remember there is no condemnation
to those that are in Christ Jesus God bless brentnz
Rick the more i think about it we are
to live as overcomers not strugglers since the day i decided
to turn away
from the sin that was controlling my life i never fell back into old sinful patterns not once, was i tempted many many times.The Lord will work in our lives one area at a
time he needs us
to give him full control so
if an area is taking control we do need
to hand it
to him so he can
change us.How do we do it immediately we say Lord you know i am weak but in you i am strong i leaned on him and overcame
time and
time again.We all have areas of weakness that we struggle in so do nt feel bad.Struggling is us trying
to do it in our own strength before this process i was so stubborn i refused
to let God help me i wanted
to do it in my own strength and so it was a roller coaster ride in my christian walk
if the day went well i was on a high
if it did nt i would would be down.Not any more now when things do nt go
to plan i still thank the Lord and when it goes well i thank the Lord.Because i know that all things work for good
to those who love the Lord.The main area he is wanting is our hearts he wants all our heart not only some until we come
to that place we will continue
to struggle in our faith.The only reason
to tell you this is not
to boast because of what i have done in myself because i have nothing
to boast about but
if i did i would brag that Christ has empowered me by his holy spirit
to be an overcomer just as he would want you
to be.As Christians we are all called
to be overcomers more than conquerers.Make a decision today
to turn all your hearts
to the Lord
to acknowledge the areas you are holding onto that are controlling your flesh life hand them
to the Lord and walk according
to the spirit and not the flesh and he will give you the victory.That can be a reality starting today merry christmas everyone and may the new year be an exciting one as we put all our trust in Christ our Lord and savior.Brentnz

Tim i found it liberating
to just do what the Lord wants you
to do i work within his boundarys and yes i attend church and enjoy it.I love the people and i love hearing the word and worshipping the Lord even
if others are still bound up with traditions thats not my walk thats theres.My focus is
to do what the Lord wants me
to do.There have been
times i have said no
to the pastor he does nt understand why i choose not
to lead the worship.i query him as well regarding the idea that its not just performing a function because there is a need our hearts have
to be in the right place so that the Lord can use us but he did nt understand where i was coming
from and thats okay because of that i just said no until my heart is right i am better not being involved in leading.But i am happy
to be an encouragement
to others in the worship team i havent wanted
to be the leader i have done that in the past.So my focus has been just the singing and being part of different worship teams i think the Lord has other plans as the groups i am in seem
to be
changing at the same
time i am aware that i do nt
to worry about
change as the Lord knows whats best.I used
to be quite comfortable leading the music but that was before when i was operating in my own self confidence and pride.The Lord did such a huge
change in my life that i lost my self confidence and that is not a bad thing at all as my spiritual growth has been incredible.The big
change was my identity moved
from me and what i could do
to knowing who i was in Christ and that he is my strength and confidence.Now i know that without him i can do nothing in fact i am dependent on his empowerment through his holy spirit all the
time in everything.In the weekend i was asked
to lead the music at another church i attend multiple churchs although i attend two regularly one has services in the morning and one has services in the evening so the two do nt really clash.In the weekend i was asked
to lead the music its been two years since i did that and i was worried on how i would go.All i can say is that it went really well and because i stepped out in Faith the Lord really blessed the morning
to the congregation.The difference is knowing that i serve the Lord with the gifts he has given me but my heart has
to be right and when i do it in his way it builds up the body and it brings glory
to him.May the Lord continue
to show you what he wants you
to do even though others may not understand your reasons i just want you
to know that you do nt have
to pull away completely just work within the boundarys that the Lord gives you and do nt feel pressured by others expectations
to do anything that feel uncomfortable.Be involved just as you feel lead by the holy spirit even
if it is in a very minor way take small steps.regards brentnz
If the long story of the Trinitarian debate in Christendom is
to be re-enacted in our present
time its outcome may result in somewhat different formulations

change can we begin

A proof I incline

time can be found, unless an absolute instant, in which a process is not both p and not - p for some predicate.

nice
to see you crawl out of your hole just in
time to offer your 2 cents worth once again... unlike yourself I started following this team long before Wenger arrived on the scene and will continue
to do so long after he's gone... in his earlier years I admired the cerebral elements he brought
to the EPL, which at that point was more brutish than beautiful, and I respected the seemingly tireless efforts of Arsene, Dein & staff
to uncover and develop talent without sacrificing the product on the field... likewise I appreciated that such a youthful manager wasn't afraid
to bring strong personalities and / or world - class players into the fold without being fearful of how said players would potentially undermine and / or dilute his authority... unfortunately this all
changed about 10 years ago and culminated in the removal of all our greatest players, both young and old, without any real replacements coming in...
from Henry
to RVP
to Fabergas and Nasri, it was easy
to see that this club was no longer interested in competing at the highest levels... instead of being honest, minus the ridiculous claims regarding the new stadium, Wenger chose
to side with management and in doing so became the «front man» for this corporation pretending
to be a world - class soccer club... without the «front man» this organization would have been exposed numerous years earlier, so his presence was imperative
if the facade was
to continue... it's for this reason and more that I despise what this once great man and Kroenke has done
to my beloved club... the gutless, shameful and manipulative way they have treated the fans, like myself, is largely indefensible and this is why I felt it necessary
to start offering my opinion in a public format... trust me, I resisted the temptation for many years but as long as the same shit continues
to exist I will voice my opinions and
if you don't like it maybe you should look for a different team
to pretend
to follow
we were awful for 60 mins and fortunate
to be just one down and the good... we took a point
from being decent for 30 mins all but securing third place... As for realism it's simple... There is no way a real arsenal fan could watch that performance and be confident that we will be challenging for title in 12 months
time... So
if that is what we want the realist fan asks what needs
to change... and
if we rule out the first best option... which as a realist I do...
to get rid of wenger... then in our second best world it's a matter of where we need
to strengthen... Sadly at the point realism breaks down because in the absence of first best option we are in the fantasy world of the cheese eating surrender monkey where 11 yr olds are zee future of zee club
I hate watching Arsenal get bitch slapped by a mid table team and all the hyperbolic doom and gloom rhetoric
from the plastic Gunner fans out there but sadly losses like these will not be the exception
to the Wenger rule this year and
if monunental
changes to the team set up as well as heavy investment arent made in the next few weeks IMHO Arsenal will be out of Europe for the first
time in nearly 20 years.
I just can't believe that we have become a joke we always start the season well then have a bumpy December and by the
time Feb comes our form has taken a dip and we get kicked out of all competitions except for that valuable top 4 that the board loves so much... ultimately
if Arsenal want
to compete again we need
changes from the bottom up... Kroenke and his board need
to go cause clearly for them profits matter more than trophies... Wenger needs
to go for his lack of tactical naus guy has been using the same fornation since I was in high school and I'm doing my honours in accounting now... our medical team must all go our players always get injured and they never come back in
time (take a look at Santi) players like Coquelin Theo Mesut Gabriel Gibbs Giroud just
to name a few need
to go they're just not good enough seriously these players lack fight tactical Discipline and tactical awareness... at the end of the day
change needs
to happen things can't keep going like this for us....
its ridiculous and embarrassing and goes
to show that the real agenda
from both wenger and the board is keeping the books straight its the continual party line of «in the summer, we'll do this» then the player is unavailable there used
to be a
time not that long ago when you knew that whoever they brought in was going
to be class, now you know that whoever they bring in will be cheap and wont do much of a job, Sanchez has been the only real good bit of transfer business and I mean really good bit since we were supposed
to be free of financial restraints makes you wonder
if we ever really had any as its still not
changed.
There's so much wrong with Arsenal
if we were given chances
to write about them it would take a year.What kind of mentality is this.Forgive me for the way I come out but what has
to be said has
to be said and the truth hurts.I do nt know
if you guys are happy with what's going on but am not.We live in a world where those who speak the truth are hated very much and a world full of incomprehensible things.Its just sad.Things have
to change from this year especially the mentality of this club.I just wan
na see my club succeed and its bothering me a lot we just can not seem
to do what is right.It's
time average players are taken out of the club and what I mean by that is players who do nt want
to improve.You already them lot.

to please fund for the first
time,
if that's the case, let him hurry with the deal so that we are free

I'm so sick of people telling those of us who are disgruntled fans
to relax and give this club
time to correct itself... for anyone who believes that taking a wait - and - see approach is appropriate at this juncture they should take a good long look at themselves in the mirror because they are a big part of the problem... no other «big» club's fans would stand for this shit for nearly as long as we have... think about it, we've witnessed a
changing of the guard at every major club in England, Spain, France and Germany in the last several years because those «big» clubs failed
to live up
to expectations (Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern, PSG, Chelsea, ManU, ManCity etc...)... for some reason, many fans have become as fragile as our current manager, believing that there couldn't possibly be a suitable replacement, even though everyone of these clubs have found multiple replacements and still achieved far more than our club... this mindset has been created by an organization that has been milking it's fans, telling countless lies (no world class players available) and lowering expectations every since they rolled out the biggest lie of all: that we couldn't spend because of the new stadium but once it was paid off we could compete with any team in the world... this organization is rotting
from the inside out and
if we don't demand that those in charge put soccer first this despicable behaviour won't end with Wenger's ridiculous 2 year contract... I think the real fear isn't that a suitable replacement doesn't exist, but that this organization is so money hungry and poorly mismanaged that we will sink even lower by choosing our next coach the same way they choose our players, on the cheap... even so, we need
to see what mustache will do
if left
to his own devices so he will have
to show his true colours... only then can we purge this club and start anew
This is an incredibly difficult question
to answer for a variety of reasons, most importantly because over the years our once vaunted «beautiful» style of play has become a shadow of it's former self, only
to be replaced by a less than stellar «plug and play» mentality where players play out of position and adjustments / substitutions are rarely forthcoming before the 75th minute...
if you look at our current players, very few would make sense in the traditional Wengerian system... at present, we don't have the personnel
to move the ball quickly
from deep - lying position, efficient one touch midfielders that can make the necessary through balls or the disciplined and pacey forwards
to stretch defences into wide positions, without the aid of the backs coming up into the final 3rd, so that we can attack the defensive lanes in the same clinical fashion we did years ago... on this current squad, we have only 1 central defender on staf, Mustafi, who seems
to have any prowess in the offensive zone or who can even pass two zones through so that we can advance play quickly out of our own end (I have seen some inklings that suggest Holding might have some offensive qualities but too early
to tell)... unfortunately Mustafi has a tendency
to get himself in trouble when he gets overly aggressive on the ball...
from our backs out wide, we've seen pace
from the likes of Bellerin and Gibbs and the spirited albeit offensively stunted play of Monreal, but none of these players possess the skill - set required in the offensive zone for the new Wenger scheme which requires deft touches, timely runs
to the baseline and consistent crossing, especially when Giroud was playing and his ratio of scored goals per clear chances was relatively low (better last year though)... obviously I like Bellerin's future prospects, as you can't teach pace, but I do worry that he regressed last season, which was obvious
to Wenger because there was no way he would have used Ox as the right side wing - back so often knowing that Barcelona could come calling in the off - season,
if he thought otherwise... as for our midfielders, not a single one, minus the more confident Xhaka I watched played for the Swiss national team a couple years ago, who truly makes sense under the traditional Wenger model... Ramsey holds onto the ball too long, gives the ball away cheaply far too often and abandons his defensive responsibilities on a regular basis (doesn't score enough recently
to justify): that being said, I've always thought he does possess a little something special, unfortunately he thinks so too... Xhaka is a little too slow
to ever boss the midfield and he tends
to telegraph his one true strength, his long ball play: although I must admit he did get a bit better during some points in the latter part of last season... it always made me wonder why whenever he played with Coq Wenger always seemed
to play Francis in a more advanced role on the pitch... as for Coq, he is way too reckless at the wrong
times and has exhibited little offensive prowess yet finds himself in and around the box far too often... let's face it Wenger was ready
to throw him in the trash heap when injuries forced him
to use Francis and then he had the nerve
to act like this was all part of a bigger Wenger constructed plan... he like Ramsey, Xhaka and Elneny don't offer the skills necessary
to satisfy the quick transitory nature of our old offensive scheme or the stout defensive mindset needed
to protect the defensive zone so that our offensive players can remain aggressive in the final third... on the front end, we have Ozil, a player of immense skill but stunted by his physical demeanor that tends
to offend, the fact that he's been played out of position far too many
times since arriving and that the players in front of him, minus Sanchez, make little
to no sense considering what he has
to offer (especially Giroud); just think about the quick counter-attack offence in Real or the space and protection he receives in the German National team's midfield, where teams couldn't afford
to focus too heavily on one individual... this player was a passing «specialist» long before he arrived in North London, so only an arrogant or ignorant individual would try
to reinvent the wheel and / or not surround such a talent with the necessary components... in regards
to Ox, Walcott and Welbeck, although they all possess serious talents I see them in large part as headless chickens who are on the injury table too much, lack the necessary first - touch and / or lack the finishing flair
to warrant their inclusion in a regular starting eleven; I would say that, of the 3, Ox showed the most upside once we went
to a back 3, but even he became a bit too consumed by his pending contract talks before the season ended and that concerned me a bit...
if I had
to choose one of those 3 players
to stay on it would be Ox due
to his potential as a plausible alternative
to Bellerin in that wing - back position should we continue
to use that formation... in Sanchez, we get one of the most committed skill players we've seen on this squad for some years but that could all
change soon,
if it hasn't already of course... strangely enough, even he doesn't make sense given the constructs of the original Wenger offensive model because he holds onto the ball too long and he will give the ball up a little too often in the offensive zone... a fact that is largely forgotten due
to his infectious energy and the fact that the numbers he has achieved seem
to justify the means... finally, and in many ways most crucially, Giroud, there is nothing about this team or the offensive system that Wenger has traditionally employed that would even suggest such a player would make sense as a starter... too slow, too inefficient and way too easily dispossessed... once again, I think he has some special skills and, at
times, has showed some world - class qualities but he's lack of mobility is an albatross around the necks of our offence... so when you ask who would be our best starting 11, I don't have a clue because of the 5 or 6 players that truly deserve a place in this side, 1 just arrived, 3 aren't under contract beyond 2018 and the other was just sold
to Juve... man, this is theraputic because following this team is like an addiction
to heroin without the benefits
If we try
to completely boss the ball and build as slowly as we have been (which is what we'll most likely do because Arsene is stubborn and will refuse
to change from the way we played that got a Tennis Score hung on us last
time) we'll go out in the 433 with Ramsey and Jack ahead of Arteta, Alexis on one side, a no. 10 on the other, and Welbeck up top.

Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really wa

to see
if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things
to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz
to the starting lineup due
to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition
to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB
to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need
to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need
to target a CDM then do whatever it takes
to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us
to become dominant again we need
to be strong up the middle again
from Goalkeeper
to CB
to DM
to ACM
to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind,
if we want Ozil
to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed
to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed
to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's
time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising...

to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest
to strikers who were clearly not going
to press their current teams
to let them go

to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due
to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has
changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately
to raise awareness for several years when cracks began
to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued
to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
Ivanovic has always been a rock in Chelsea's defense and that doesn't look likely
to change anytime soon, not sure
if you've seen Chelsea's matches this year but he has gotten off
to a blistering start and was probably Chelsea's best player vs Leicester (this is the
time where we usually bash Leicester and say «Oh they are a newly promoted club» but truth be told we escaped with a point
from playing them
if we are being unbiased)
