...“This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” (Matthew 17:5)

When God the Father spoke on that mountain, He proclaimed that Jesus was indeed the Son of God, that He was pleasing to God and we are to hear Him.  What are we to hear?  That He came to reveal the Father’s love and to die for the sins of the world (John 3:16), the    ultimate expression of love.  Everything Jesus did pleased the Father, leaving us an example to follow.  That begs the question, are we pleasing to God?  We can be by faith.  “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that he rewards those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6).  The best way to diligently seek Him is to be just like Jesus.  Jesus said, “This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12).  To love like Jesus is to have a heart for God and for people – especially the lost.  Is that your heart?  Do you seek to be just like Jesus?  May you not only “Hear Him”, but also proclaim Him and His glorious plan of salvation!
 

~ Hendrik Feliciano ~

“But what about you?” he asked.  “Who do you say I am?”  Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”  Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.”  (Matthew 16:15-17 NIV)

What a great truth made available to us in these verses.  Do you know Christ today?  It may be that you know of Christ because someone handed you a simple tract or shared a personal experience of what Christ has done in their life.  Maybe you were invited to church and the worship or preaching caught your interest, or maybe the witness of someone’s lifestyle attracted you.  As Jesus proclaims in verse 17, neither the words nor the actions of man will reveal who Christ is.  You will only come to know Christ through the work of the Father in heaven and this revelation will come through His Spirit and the study of His Word.  Please set aside time to let the living Word of God speak to you that you would not just know of Jesus but come to know Him as the one and only Son of the living God, your personal Savior, redeeming you from the grip of hell.

“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”  (Genesis 3:15)

This is what God foretold to Satan after Satan had deceived the woman into eating the fruit.  I recently found out that when one is crucified they leave enough space between the feet and the crucifix to allow one to push up on the heels in an attempt to relieve the pressure of hanging on the cross.  This causes a severe bruising on the heel.  Jesus, hanging on the cross and being the blood sacrifice for our sins, bruised his heel and in doing so crushed the serpent’s head – defeating death and reconnecting us with God once and for all.
 

~ Dan Howe~

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”  (Romans 10:17)

Growing up in the Midwest, I can vividly remember living through many tornadoes.  When the sirens would start to blare, we would run for cover to escape the danger.  The safest places would be in cellars or somewhere protected by the foundation of the house.  It seemed the houses destroyed most frequently were mobile or prefabricated homes.  The safest were those built with a strong foundation and solid construction.  In Matthew 7:24–27, Jesus tells the parable of the builders.  Of interesting note, the parable says, “…the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house…”  It didn’t say “if” these things happened, they did happen.  Trials come that challenge the strength of our house (life)…it’s inevitable.  What protects us during the storms is the foundation our life is built upon.  Also, when we’ve been constructed solidly (through faith), we are more secure in the storms.  God bless and build wisely.

“How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we belong to Christ.”  Ephesians 1:3 NLT

I can be pessimistic, and no I’m not always thankful.  Now you know—I’m not perfect.   But God is, and He loves us in a way we can’t imagine.  The cross is the symbol of God’s love.  He loved His son and gave Him for undeserving sinners.  While trudging through my resume this week, I saw all the things God had allowed me to do while here in Hawaii.  I shouted out praise to God!  He was using my resume to remind me of how blessed I really am and how much He is woven into the details of my life.  Sometimes we get so focused on our struggles that we forget all God has done for us thus far and just how faithful He really is.  Paul said in Philippians 4:4 NLT, “Always be full of joy in the Lord.”  Impossible you may say.  When you accepted new life in Christ, you also received all of God’s promises.  He promised to never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).  He also said He is the author and     finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2) and promised to take you to the place he prepared for you (John 14:3).  If you’re weak, thank Him.  It’s just another chance for God to be glorified through the finished work of His Son.  So Rejoice!

HD Video Encoding Tutorial: Encoder settings for YouTubeHD using Sony Vegas Pro 9.0

This tutorial will show how to optimize your HD video output for uploading to YouTube, or any other video hosting. These settings will provide the best output quality while keeping the file size as small as possible.

The screenshots are taken from Sony Vegas 9; however, the same settings can be applied on your video editing/encoding software of choice, given the settings are customizable.

Select the 'Main' Profile, as well as your desired frame rate. The frame rate setting would depend on your source video.

Set the reference frames to 3 since the video is mostly full motion, meaning there is little benefit in using lots of reference frames, which will only greatly lengthen the encoding time (though Sony Vegas may sometimes change this automatically). If your source video is animation, however, (or any video with repetitive motion) using more reference frames may help reduce your output file size and/or improve quality.

And as seen on the image, set the average bit rate to 3.8 Mbps (which I will later explain why). The maximum 135 Mbps is just a ceiling based on the maximum Main profile bit rate for level 5 AVC/h.264. It doesn't have to be this high, but it doesn't really impact the output file size. You can adjust this if you want, but don't set this too close to the average value, as the encoder will limit the bit rate in a certain scene that may require a higher value.


Set the sample rate to 48 KHz and the bit rate to 128 Kbps.


Project settings, set to Best.

Then simply proceed with your render and you're done!

I am still troubled by a statement made years ago back in Oregon.  I was going through a trial and a friend said to me, “I’m sorry, but all I can do for you is pray.”  It was as if his first choice would have been to solve my problem.  But that not being possible, his last choice, his default solution, was to pray for my situation.  So how important is prayer?  The disciples witnessed Jesus raise the dead, heal the sick, feed the multitude, cast out demons and preach the word, but they didn’t ask to be taught to do any of those things.  The one thing they observed Jesus do that they asked Him to teach them is found in Luke 11:1, “Lord, teach us to pray…”  And, Jesus said in Matthew 21:13, Mark 11:17 and Luke 19:46, “My house shall be called a house of prayer…”  So, is prayer important?  Does it work?  Ask the little girl who attended the “Pray for Rain” service at her little church in a drought-stricken, Mid-Western community—she’s the only one that brought the umbrella.

In Luke 17:12-16, the bible talks about the ten lepers that Jesus healed.  One of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice he glorified God and fell down at His feet, giving Him thanks.  He was a Samaritan and a leper which is considered a social outcast.  We also were considered as outcasts which at that time we were without Christ,  being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.  But now in Christ Jesus, we who once were afar off have been brought near by the blood of Christ (Ephesians 2).  And like the Samaritan who came and gave thanks because he was no longer an outcast; we, in the same manner should also come and give thanks because we are no longer an outcast from God.  So by God’s grace let us always be that one who comes back and give thanks for our salvation that is only found in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  PRAISE JESUS!

God can’t use a person like me, right?  People who serve the Lord are righteous and good, right?  Well, let’s consider the Biblical evidence.  Consider Noah, a former preacher of 120 years with not even one convert.  Then there is Joseph, the big dreamer with a prison record.  Next, we have Moses, a poor communicator with a bad temper.  He fled his country because he murdered an Egyptian.  Even the great King David committed adultery with Bathsheba and then conspired and had her husband killed.  And John, who said that he’s a Baptist, but definitely didn’t dress like one.  He slept outdoors, eating grasshoppers and provoking religious leaders.  Even today, many servants look weird to the world and other believers.  If we could be good then Jesus did not need to die on His cross for us (me).  In Mark 10:18, Jesus said unto him, “Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God.”  We desperately need a Savior and Redeemer.  Jesus wants our fellowship.  Consider serving our Lord Jesus Christ in some way and long to that time when He will say to you, “Well done good and faithful servant.”

Kahiau  -OR- Ku'aku'ai

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. – 2 Corinthians 9:7 KJV

 

Kahiau is a Hawaiian word which means to give freely without expecting anything in return.  Ku'aku'ai is another Hawaiian word for giving, but it means to give for the sake of receiving something in return.

 

This comparison of giving reminds me of the story found in Luke 10:25-37 about the Good Samaritan.  Two men of high status both with the same ethnic background as the badly injured male chose to pass the victim and not offer any assistance.  However, a man of Samaritan descent who came from a group of people who were not well liked by the Israelites was the only passerby that stopped.  He could have easily given monies with an expectation of receiving payment in return.  Instead, he extended his assistance beyond just giving him a ride to his destination.  The Samaritan tended to his wounds, gave him food and drink to regain his health, clothed him, and housed the victim.  In verse 35, the Samaritan man pays the innkeeper monies to cover the cost of the Israelite’s room and board, but also assured the innkeeper that he would insure any additional expenses.  The Samaritan was a witness by not securing a way of being paid back.  He didn’t give with the spirit of Ku'aku'ai, but instead he gave with the spirit of Kahiau.  He gave with the expectation of never receiving anything in return.  What a great attitude for us to mimic … one that we should remember during this season of Thanksgiving: “Give thankfully, give cheerfully, and give with no expectations of receiving something in return.”                                                                                     ̴ Kalani Fronda

WALK THIS WAY

Want your kids to be more than just kids raised in a church?  Want your kids to have a living, active relationship with Christ?   Well, don’t just “talk the talk,” you need to “walk the walk.”  Proverbs 20:7 NLT says, “The godly WALK with integrity; blessed are their children after them.”  I’ve been attending church a long time.  Even though I tried to be the same at home as I am at church - I’m still putting  on a front.  We can’t do that with our kids.  They see us at church AND at home. They don’t buy into the “do as I say not as I do” philosophy.  My kids know after twelve hours of “wakey-wakey” I am “grumpy-grumpy.”  Sometimes I have to repent for snapping at my kids (and wife).  This is where the gospel power in our heart meets the path of our life.  In 1 Corinthians 4:16 NLT Paul states, “...follow my example and do as I do.”  We must succeed in letting Christ live in our hearts and through our lives.  We must die to ourselves each and every day.  We must decrease and He must increase.  Our children (not to mention the rest of the world) are watching.  Walk worthy of your calling.                                                                                                        ̴  Kip Brumm

“…though the earth gives way and the mountains fall…”

Where are you?
It is the very question that was asked of Adam and Eve after they had sinned against God in the Garden of Eden.
