Romans 8:3 – Understanding Covenant Failures: Blame-Shifting in Romans…

Having trouble reading this email? View it in your browser.

Romans 8:3(3) For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:  King James Version   Change email Bible version The context of Romans 8 is somewhat different than the context in Hebrews 8, but the principle Paul deals with is similar. Flesh in Romans 8:3 refers to people. The problem with the Old Covenant was not with its laws, but with one of the parties who made the covenant—”them” (Hebrews 8:8). Obviously, he refers to the people who made the covenant. They would not keep its terms!This is confirmed by the Old Testament record, which shows that Israel never kept the Old Covenant except for brief periods of time. This is why there are so many references in the Old Testament to their being stiff-necked, being fornicators or adulterers, or filled with iniquity.It was not that Israel could not keep the terms of the covenant but that they would not. God’s intent in making the Old Covenant was limited. Israel should have been able to keep its terms. To think otherwise is to accuse God of being unfair in His proposition and having taken advantage of Israel’s ignorance. Human nature is always looking for ways to shift blame.We must be careful, or we might be guilty of doing the same thing under the New Covenant. We could say that it is too hard, and use our complaint as a justification for our failures and bad attitudes. Jesus anticipated this.In the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, He gives five talents to one, two talents to another, and one talent to a third. The response of the person to whom He gave one talent is, “I knew that You were a hard man, and that You reap where you do not sow. And therefore I hid it” (Matthew 25:24-25). He is saying, “God, You were too hard!” He essentially shifts the blame to God. Jesus understood that human nature never changes: It always wants to shift the blame!— John W.

Sleep Your Way to Better Health

Breaking News from Newsmax.com

Sleep Your Way to Better Health By Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D., writes: While cholesterol-lowering medications have been among the most profitable prescription drugs for the pharmaceutical industry, revenue for sleep medications is increasing as well, because approximately 60 million Americans experience chronic sleep disorders.The problem with drugs is that they rarely produce restful sleep, and often plague users with complications and side effects, including next-day drowsiness, sleepwalking, and confusion.Special: Why Those Over 50 Should Take Sleep Issues Seriously Here are a few steps that will increase the likelihood of a good night’s sleep:• Always try to go to bed at least by midnight. Staying up late resets the biological clock and can disrupt sleep patterns.• Keep the room slightly cool. Benjamin Franklin suggested a cool pillow to induce sleep.• Make sure the room is dark. Avoid nightlights, brightly lit phone dials, and illuminated clocks.• Try playing soothing music on a low volume at bedtime.• Avoid reading or watching television at least one hour before bedtime. Allow yourself time to wind down.• Avoid sugar and sweet foods in the evening. Some people will become hypoglycemic during the night, and this will wake them up.• Avoid caffeine, smoking, and all foods containing excitotoxins.• Avoid sleeping late and taking naps during the day.• Exercise earlier in the day. Exercise lowers inflammatory cytokines. Exercising late in the day revs up the metabolism, which can keep you awake. Do not exercise after 7 p.m.• Before retiring for the night, take vitamin C, magnesium citrate, and melatonin.Other natural sleep aids include valerian root, passionflower, and chamomile — all of which calm and soothe the nerves.Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D., is editor of The Blaylock Wellness Report and a nationally recognized board-certified neurosurgeon, health practitioner, author, and lecturer.More Links:Global Shift Away From the Dollar — What You Must Know NowDiscover ‘The Magnesium Miracle’

Dear sometimes-sleepy friend,The famous author Jules Verne once said …“Though sleep is called our best friend, it is a friend who often keeps us waiting!”Over 100 years later, his words still ring true.Today, 50 million to 70 million American adults suffer from concerns related to lost slumber.And what’s worse, sleep issues tend to increase with age.So it’s not unusual for baby boomers and older adults to occasionally:Run into difficulty falling asleepWake up multiple times during the night (often to use the bathroom) and have trouble returning to sleepWake up too early and be unable to get back to sleepWake up feeling tired and unrefreshedWhile this may seem more annoying than significant, healthy aging expert Erika Schwartz, M.D., says sleep is not something to be taken lightly. Especially as you grow older.After all, we spend about 1/3 of our lives sleeping (or trying to sleep). So you certainly don’t want to spend that time tossing and turning rather than getting the shut-eye you need.Dr. Schwartz warns that many people — particularly those over 50 — mistakenly believe three common myths about sleep. In this letter, she reveals how to tell fact from fiction.Myth #1: Sleep Is a Luxury — And Merely a Time for Resting Your BrainSleep is vital to good health and overall well-being. Scientists are still not 100% sure about why we need sleep. But they do consider it necessary for survival.Sleep is NOT an indulgence or a luxury.Many people regard sleep as merely the brain’s time to rest. However, this is not accurate.Sleep is an active process, not a passive one.You need sleep for the healing and repair of your organs, including your heart and blood vessels. We grow muscle and even increase secretion of certain hormones during sleep.Sleep also affects memory and learning.During the day, we take in a vast quantity of information. Overnight, pieces of this information move from short-term memory to more stable, long-term memory. This process is known as consolidation.Studies show that good-quality sleep enhances learning and creativity, whether you’re trying to perfect your golf swing, complete a puzzle, or master watercolor painting.And that brings us to the second myth …Myth #2: You Can Make Up for Any Lack of Sleep Later, When You’re Not So BusyAccording to Harvard Women’s Health Watch, “If sleep were a credit card company, many of us would be in deep trouble.”That’s because, when we don’t get adequate sleep, we accumulate what is called a sleep debt — a debt that may rack up some undesirable “interest” and be difficult to pay back.Oftentimes, people think they can use the weekend to make up for any lost sleep. Retired individuals may just assume they’ll catch up when they’re not so busy.“Even those [women] who are fortunate enough to reach midlife fully rested may find themselves gradually slipping into the debit column after age 60.”— Harvard Women’s Health WatchUnfortunately, an irregular sleep schedule can throw off your sleep-wake cycle. And a few “catnaps” here and there may not be sufficient to get you back on track.Why should you care?Well, insufficient sleep can make you feel tired, irritable, and unable to concentrate.Sleepiness in older people can also increase the risk of potentially serious falls. What’s worse, sleep issues have been linked to many health concerns and even accelerated aging.This should be particularly concerning to anyone in mid-life or older. Sad to say, however, many older people fall victim to the third vicious myth.Myth #3: The Older You Get, the Less Sleep You NeedThere is a common misconception that the older you get, the less sleep you need. While sleep patterns change with age, older people need just as much total sleep as younger adults.So how much sleep do you need?Well, most professionals (including Dr. Schwartz) recommend that adults of all ages need seven to nine hours of quality sleep per night. Yes, this includes seniors, too!Unfortunately, about 44% of the older population experiences at least occasional sleep issues.And women are more commonly affected. Over 60% of women fall short of that seven-to-nine-hour goal.There are many reasons why seniors often end up on the short end of the stick when it comes to getting enough ZZZs.Here are a few:Older folks generally get up more to use the bathroom, and then have difficulty falling back asleep.They use medications that can interfere with sleep.They are less active.The pain of aching joints may make it harder to get comfortable in bed.Age-related hormonal shifts (in both sexes) can interfere with sleep.Trouble sleeping sounds like a simple complaint.However, a variety of physical and emotional health concerns can keep you from getting enough shut-eye.So please note: If you suffer from significant or lasting sleep concerns, make sure you consult with your personal physician.As you can see by now, troubled sleep is not a trivial matter.Fortunately, you do NOT have to live with it …Not when there’s a simple way to help support healthful and restful sleep.I’m sure you know that when you sleep well, you wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed — and ready to face each day’s challenges.That’s what Dr. Schwartz wants for you.And that’s why she decided to formulate her own advanced sleep formula called SOMNACORE®.Filled With Nutrients That Promote Healthful Sleep and RelaxationDr. Schwartz’s exclusive SOMNACORE formula provides you with a simple, easy way to support your healthy and restful sleep.This comprehensive blend of hand-picked nutrients contains not one or two, but five ingredients — with the following core benefits in mind:SOMNACORE Double BenefitsPromotes and Supports Healthy SleepPromotes Relaxation (Important in Our Stressful World)Here are some important details about the ingredients in this special formula …The Herbal Sleep-Promoting Duo — Valerian and ChamomileValerian. This herb is native to Europe and parts of Asia. Valerian has been used for sleep and relaxation purposes for thousands of years. In fact, its use dates to ancient Greece. Hippocrates prescribed valerian in the 4th century B.C.In modern times, clinical studies on valerian demonstrate positive effects on certain sleep parameters, including quality of sleep and ability to fall asleep.One randomized placebo-controlled trial of 100 post-menopausal women noted significant improvement in sleep quality in those who used valerian extract.Valerian appears to affect certain brain neurotransmitters to reduce brain activity and induce relaxation and sleep.Chamomile. Another herb, chamomile, also has a long history of use as a calming and sleep-inducing agent. Chamomile tea, traditionally consumed before bedtime, remains one of the world’s most popular beverages.Scientists believe the sleep-promoting effects of chamomile may be due to the compound apigenin, which binds to specific brain receptors with relaxing, sedative-like effects.In addition to valerian and chamomile, Dr. Schwartz added three more beneficial ingredients to the SOMNACORE formula.The Mineral Trio for Healthy Sleep and Relaxation —  Magnesium, Calcium, and ZincMagnesium.Responsible for over 300 enzyme reactions in the body, magnesium is necessary to help your muscles relax.Researchers believe magnesium plays a key role in sleep. More precisely, it affects circadian rhythms, the internal body clock that determines when you are ready to sleep.One double-blind clinical study of older adults demonstrated that supplementation with magnesium promoted better outcomes in certain sleep characteristics, including length of sleep and ability to fall asleep.Unfortunately, magnesium levels diminish with advancing age due to loss of bone mass, inadequate dietary intake, and poorer absorption. Researchers have linked less intracellular magnesium to sleep restriction.Calcium. While most people associate it with bone health, calcium also helps relax muscles and perform many other vital body functions.REM or rapid eye movement sleep is important to health. One animal study found a link between calcium concentrations and REM sleep.Calcium is also essential in helping the amino acid tryptophan synthesize melatonin. Created primarily in your brain’s pineal gland, melatonin influences circadian rhythms and facilitates sleep. Research indicates melatonin levels gradually fall with aging.Unfortunately, older men and postmenopausal women are among the groups who may not get enough dietary calcium. The body’s ability to absorb calcium also decreases with age.Zinc. This essential mineral is involved in numerous aspects of cellular metabolism, immune function, and other body processes.Scientists believe zinc also plays a role in sleep. More specifically, research demonstrates that zinc may be important in sleep duration.As with the other minerals above, the older population may not always consume a sufficient amount of zinc. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) found that 35%-45% of older adults do not meet the estimated average requirement for zinc.I think you can see by now why Dr. Schwartz included all five of these ingredients in SOMNACORE — and why she’s so confident in its benefits.And that’s also why she made special arrangements with the supplier, Medix Select, to reserve a bottle in your name with a special introductory offer.Claim Your Trial Bottle of SOMNACORE Today (Special Introductory Offer Good Only for First-Time Users)That’s right …You can receive a trial bottle of SOMNACOREat no charge. You cover only a small $4.95 S&H fee.You will be enrolled in a convenient and affordable Smart Ship program.

Peter, Which future Chicago White Sox outfielder did the 1969 All-Star program proclaim was the greatest New York Mets player of all time? Hint: #1 John Olerud finally topped his all-time best Mets single-season batting average. Hint: #2 He appeared on the television show “Everybody Loves Raymond”. Tuesday’s question answered: Q. Who was the first New York Highlander’s player to triple thrice in a game in only the third year of the franchise’s existence? Hint: #1 In spite of being widely considered by contemporary observers to be the best-fielding first baseman of his era (some said “ever”), he led three separate major leagues in erors. Hint: #2 One year he banged out more than 100 hits, but only played in 75 games. A. HAL CHASE  [SABR Bio] – Ans. On 30-Aug-1906(2), Chase tripled 3 X against WSHpitching. He fell short of a cycle by bot hitting a mere home run, but he did have 3 singles in the 1st game that day as New York swept the twin bill. – #1 Chase led in errors..For the AL –                     For the NL –                     For the Federal League1905 NYY w/31;               1917 CIN w/28                 1915 BUF w/191909 NYY w/361911 NYY w/381912 NYY w/27                And…“No other player in baseball history was so richly praised for his defensive skill—no one.  His (Hal Chase’s) brilliance with the glove is easier to document than Ty Cobb’s temper, Hack Wilson’s drinking or Walter Johnson’s fastball. It is all over the literature of the sport.”~ Author Bill James – #2 He had 101 H in 1914 playing for the Buffalo Blues.
