I woke up this morning at about 5:30 to the sweet song of a ghetto bird. It isn't odd to hear L.A.'s finest chopper in my residence but it was today considering how early it was. According to the random Guy who hopped out of the unmarked news van someone was shot early this morning on the 6800 block of Laurel Canyon Blvd. The street was blocked off from Van Owen to Hart Street. My daughter and I had to take a detour this morning as I walked her to her bus stop. Traffic will be a nightmare for some commuters. I pray for the guy who lost his life and his family.

LRG Founder Dies at 34

2011-06-01T05:16:00.001-07:00

Jonas Bevacqua, who co-founded the popular hip hop-oriented clothing company LRG, has died. He was 34. Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino says Bevacqua was found dead in his Laguna Beach home on Tuesday. The cause of death wasn't immediately evident, and the county coroner's office planned an autopsy Wednesday. Calls to LRG's corporate offices in Irvine went unanswered Tuesday.

2011-05-31T19:18:00.000-07:00

Apple on Tuesday confirmed it's going to the cloud and that splashy pitchman Steve Jobs will deliver the details.

The company said CEO Jobs and other executives will discuss a new service for storing and retrieving media online, called iCloud, at its Worldwide Developers Conference, which begins Monday in San Francisco.

Uncertainty over the appearance of Jobs, who is on medical leave, has been a near-sideshow of speculation leading into Apple events.

Ahead of the cloud launch, Apple has been setting up a huge data center in North Carolina to prepare, says Envisioneering Group analyst Richard Doherty.

"This may be the most powerful data center ever, outside of government," Doherty says. "It will be able to handle millions of streams per minute without any network hiccups."

Apple's move to the cloud follows recent entries by Google and Amazon, with music services that let users upload songs they own to servers that in turn let them pull them down from various devices.

Both Google Music Beta and Amazon Cloud Drive don't work with the iPhone, and iCloud most assuredly will...

The Erosion of the Reformed Rapper!

Posted on May 4, 2011 by jovanmackenzy

Dear brothers and sisters in the faith, It grieves me to do this, but I have been led by many brothers in the faith including www.carm.org, as well as pastors, rappers, even fans of Lecrae and my church home to address this matter publicly. There has been a growing concern of mine over the last few years concerning the direction of the ministries of many rappers who hold to the doctrines of God’s grace or God’s sovereignty, typically what is labeled as Calvinism. It has been very troubling to see the shift and focus of many of these rappers. This is but a brief introduction on the matter, a bigger look at the background will be coming later. For now I will briefly discuss one rapper in particular in this list of artists and it is Lecrae. I am going to slightly address here my concern with Lecrae (and other artists in general for that matter), going into churches to perform who have damnable heretical doctrine and failing to address both the leadership and the congregation...

South Korean man found crucified, wearing crown of thorns in abandoned stone quarry

By The Associated Press – 12 hours ago

SEOUL, South Korea — The body of a man with his hands and feet nailed to a wooden cross and a crown of thorns on his head has been found in an abandoned stone quarry, South Korean police said Wednesday.

A man wearing only underwear, with a wound on the side of his torso and nylon strings tied around his neck, arms and stomach, was found crucified Sunday in Mungyong, about 115 miles (190 kilometres) southeast of Seoul, said Chung Ji-chun, chief of the violent crime section at Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency.

Two smaller crosses were erected on each side of the cross he was nailed to, Chung said.
Police also found nails, a hammer, an electric drill, pieces of wood and instructions on how to build crosses inside a tent near the scene, Chung said. An SUV belonging to the dead man was found nearby.
Police are waiting for a forensic report to determine the exact time and cause of the man's death and whether it was a homicide or suicide.

Chung identified the man as a 58-year old surnamed Kim.

Popular representations of the death of Jesus Christ depict him crucified between the crosses of two thieves, wearing a crown of thorns, a white cloth over his loins, with a wound on his side from a Roman soldier's spear.

Biblical Qualifications of a Pastor
Pastor Scott Thomas

The Bible specifically speaks about the qualifications for those who will lead a congregation of people. These qualifications have been the same for almost 2,000 years. Jesus is the perfect fulfillment of these qualifications as the “senior pastor” of the Church.

Above Reproach (Titus 1:6, 7; 1 Tim 3:2)

This is the overarching, summarizing characteristic. You will find similar (but not identical) lists in First Timothy and Titus. Living a life above reproach is the first requirement in both lists and Titus repeats it. The other items on the list explain what “above reproach” means. If we peruse the two lists, as well as First Peter, we find 17 qualifications of an elder who is above reproach.

1. A Pastor must be devoted to his wife; one-woman man (Titus 1:6; 1 Tim 3:2).
The pastor’s marriage illustrates Christ’s love for His church—His bride (Eph. 5:22 ff.). A Pastor must love his wife exclusively with his mind, will and emotions and not just his body.

2. A Pastor’s children must be in submission, though not perfect (Titus 1:6; 1 Tim 3:4-5).
If a man does not know how to manage his own family, he will not know how to take care of God’s church. The first flock for a pastor is his own family as Pastor Dad. A Pastor’s qualification for the church starts in his home management as he leads them up in the discipline and admonition of the Lord (Eph. 6:4).

3. A Pastor is a faithful Steward (Titus 1:7)
Here the term used is overseer (Greek episkopos). It is not another office, but a functional title of the elder. It is what he does. He is a steward, a manager of God’s resources and Jesus’ flock. He takes responsibility, but not ownership.

4. A Pastor must be humble - not arrogant (Titus 1:7)
A pastor must constantly demonstrate the gospel by admitting when he is wrong and assuming responsibility and restoring relationships.

5. A Pastor must be gentle - not quick-tempered (Titus 1:7; 1 Tim 3:3)
No man will be of any use in the kingdom that is quick-tempered. The difference between how Jesus demonstrated anger is that He was angry at the abuse of others in the name of religion and the dishonoring of God. We get angry at how it affects us.

6. A Pastor must be sober - not a drunkard (Titus 1:7; 1 Tim 3:3)
This is not just overindulgence in alcohol but is idiomatic for any behavior that fuels addictive responses.

7. A Pastor must be peaceful - not violent (Titus 1:7; 1 Tim 3:3)
A pastor is prone to inflict violence through his words. He is to be a peacemaker.

8. A Pastor must have financial integrity - not greedy for gain (Titus 1:7; 1 Tim 3:3; 1 Peter 5:3)
A pastor is to be upright in his financial dealings and not accused of pursuing money over the kingdom of God.

9. A pastor must be hospitable (Titus 1:8; 1 Tim 3:2)
A pastor’s home is to be open for others to enjoy. A pastor’s home is not a heaven on earth, but rather a place of ministry.

10. A Pastor must be a lover of good (Titus 1:8)
A pastor genuinely loves what is good. He does not just think he should love it.

11. A Pastor must be self-controlled (Titus 1:8; 1 Tim 3:2)
Self-control is a characterization of every area of a pastor’s life: diet, time, mouth, exercise, relationships, sex, and money.

12. A Pastor must be upright (Titus 1:8)
He has integrity in his relationships and in how he treats others.

13. A Pastor must be holy (Titus 1:8)
His life is devoted wholeheartedly to Jesus externally and internally.

14. A Pastor must be able to teach (Titus 1:9; 1 Tim 3:2)
All of the other qualifications are character qualities. This is the only ability-based requirement. He is to be able to teach sound doctrine, not just be able to communicate in an excellent manner. His teaching can be to one or two, to twenty, to a hundred or to a thousand. Most of the churches in Crete were house churches. The elders were to defend the faith once delivered to the saints against the numerous false teachers that arose.

15. A Pastor must be spiritually Mature (1 Tim 3:6)
Positions of authority without spiritual maturity lead to the trap of pride. When pride grows in a man, sin abounds.

16. A Pastor must be respectable (1 Tim 3:7)
That does not mean that everyone must like him or even appreciate him. It means that there is no credible witness to an ongoing sinful behavior.

17. A Pastor must be an example to the flock (1 Peter 5:3)
Elders are examples of Biblical expressions sexually, time management, marriage, parenting, worship, relationships and any other way. A pastor should be someone your sons could pattern their life after and the kind of man your daughter should marry.

Conclusion 
What would you do if an elder violates one of these requirements? 1 Timothy 5:19-20 warns us not to accuse an elder flippantly. Matthew 18:15-18 gives us the steps:
1) Go to the elder alone,
2) If still unsatisfied, go with another person,
3) If still unsatisfied, let the greater eldership know. If accusations are verified and the elder remains unrepentant, rebuking that elder before all is the next biblical step.

In The Good Book, Professor Grayling attempts to whisk together in one tome the wisdom of Ancient Greek philosophers, Confucian sages, medieval poets and the discoveries of modern science.

Without any reference to gods, souls or afterlives, it aims to give atheists a book of inspiration and guidance as they make their way in the world.

In place of the more well-known Ten Commandments, his atheist principles are: "Love well, seek the good in all things, harm no others, think for yourself, take responsibility, respect nature, do your utmost, be informed, be kind, be courageous." Read the rest here.

Questions for Atheist:

What is love? Why should I?
What is good? Why should I seek it? How will I know if i've found it?
Why shouldn't I harm others? What if I love to harm others? What if I find it good?
How can I think? Aren't those just random sensations that happen by chance?

As the rehabilitation of his injured right knee continues, Grizzlies rookie guard Xavier Henry is learning to play something besides professional basketball.
"I got 'Piano for Dummies,'" said Henry, Memphis' first-round pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. "I'm not great, but I'm getting there."
Getting through his first NBA season has been difficult. Henry was 19 when he entered the league last year after one season at Kansas University. He has played in 38 games, missing more than half the season with injuries.
"I'm having to become more mentally tough," he said. "Because of the injury to my knee, I know I've got to work harder to get back. I know God will heal me."
Faith strikes a chord with Henry and a number of other Grizzlies, including Rudy Gay, Greivis Vasquez and Ishmael Smith. All have been vocal about their relationship with Jesus.
Before every free throw, Gay recites Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
