earnest

This is the first new year in Grace 242's worship home! Therefore, we're going through our worship serving asking, "Why do we do this?"

This week we ask, "Why pray?" James 5:13-18 shows us that we pray earnestly when we bring our whole selves to God for the purpose that He may increase, and we may decrease.

Message: Why pray?
Scripture Reading: James 5:13-18

Hebrews 6:9-20

If we will enter the rest God has prepared for us, we must continue with faith and patience. Andrew and Edwin dig into the dull, sluggish, lazy approach we are tempted to take with our discipleship, encouraging us to instead grow our earnestness, eagerness, and striving to do our best.

I am a massive fan of David Friedman's work for culture by design instead of culture by chance. He does a fantastic job helping company's transition abstract values into concrete behaviors (he calls fundamentals). Unfortunately, many organizations do not understand what their culture represents to the people on the team. Many CEOs have a large blind spot when it comes to culture. They are too close to see what is happening. It is like the odor of one's home. Others can smell what we cannot. 

In this episode, Karen Ha, MD, explores recommendations and data on the role of PIs in current practice.

Listen as she gives her perspectives on:

• DHHS guideline recommendations on the use of PI-based ART
• Data from the DIAMOND study on the use of boosted DRV for rapid initiation
• Data from the EARNEST and NADIA studies on the use of PI-based ART with NRTI resistance
• Considerations for the use of PIs in patients with cardiovascular risk, including data from the D:A:D study
• Key drug–drug interaction considerations with the use of PIs

To be the church God is calling us to be, we need everyone engaged.  That means we are intentionally in - not dragging our feet or reluctant, but diligent and empowered by the Spirit.  And it means we are active - not just hearing, but doing.  

Greetings sportsfans! On today’s episode of What Should We Draw, Caldwell and Nathan are joined by Foodball enthusiast Willie Muse (CollegeHumor) for an extended chat about postmodern ninja turtles, the Earnest cinematic universe, and the many miraculous ways that chicken fingers have shaped the world in which we live. Also, we talk about dicks for like 10 minutes straight. So grab a few chicken ears and dip them into our delicious audio sauce, cause things are about to get BLEU.
