![]() Hebrews 10:24-25 says, “ And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. We will look at several aspects of this below. The word we use for the relationship we have with other believers is “fellowship” (Acts 2:42). He uses our brothers and sisters in Christ to strengthen us and help us to follow Him. God knows that we are weak and need all the help we can get in our Christian life. In Proverbs 13:20 we learn, “ He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.” Peer pressure is very strong (1 Corinthians 15:33). If we hang out with the wrong crowd our fall into sin is even more likely. If we try to “go it alone” we will likely fall. The world is full of temptations and pressure to do wrong.

I’m going to be 50 this year and was born right after in September. Janet Mock: You are covering the Summer of Pride issue, it’s the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall rebellion – what does that mean to you?īilly Porter: I feel like it’s so significant for me because I was actually born that year of the Stonewall Riots. Walking down 8th Avenue and “ready to jump right in,” Pose writer and trans activist Janet Mock speaks with her friend Billy Porter about making history, turning out the fashion, and discusses how their work today has a close connection to the lost generation of the HIV/AIDS crisis. They can’t do anything without someone judging their fashion choice in relation to how they’ll get cast.” And so, I looked at the landscape and saw that these men are straitjackets. You can’t play that masculine part anymore, and nobody will believe that you’ll fuck a woman anymore. One slip up and you’re a faggot, and you can’t be on that superhero show anymore. “Men are under this microscope from the moment you hit and everybody is looking to see if you slip up. ![]() “We have a construct in our society that certain things mean masculine and certain things mean feminine and you can’t cross those boundaries and not be marginalised or ostracised for it – silenced or dismissed for those things,” Billy says. Away from the television screen and on the red carpet, the actor has turned out lewks that almost, just almost, upstaged Lady Gaga recently at the 2019 Met Gala.īut alongside looking fierce and turning heads, the looks come with a hidden message from Billy: I am living my truth and your boundaries of masculine and feminine don’t belong anywhere near me. Recognised across the globe for his Emmy-nominated turn as Prey Tell, the experienced ballroom emcee who’s here to “teach the children”, it’s not just Billy’s turn on the show that’s got us all talking. ![]() “I want to be one of the people that is at the forefront.” ![]() I want to be the person,” proclaims actor Billy Porter as he crosses New York City the morning before a day on set for the second season of Ryan Murphy’s Pose. “I thought, ‘You’re a faggot, you can’t do that!’ But yes, I can. It meant that they ministered to outsiders. The ministries of Elijah and Elisha did not mean that they turned their backs on Israel. ![]() 4 In the examples of Naaman and the widow, however, Luke does indicate that God’s plan includes an outreach to Gentiles. Jesus says that He has come to fulfill Isa 61:1–2 (Luke 4:18-19), and the Isaiah passage indicates success among the Jews (Isa 61:3). Simeon also makes it clear that there will be some in the nation who believe. In Luke 2:34, Simeon predicted the falling away of Israel. Nazareth, which represents all of Israel, rejects the message of Jesus from the start. NAAMAN AND JESUS’ SERMON AT NAZARETHīovon says that the first sermon by the Lord in Luke not only occurs at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry, it also makes a programmatic statement. A Gentile military man is used by the Lord to make this point. This comes out in Jesus’ first sermon in the Gospel of Luke. In Luke’s writings, not only are Gentiles included in the plan of God, but often these Gentiles will be open to what God is doing in Christ while some Jews are not. These inclusios bracket Luke’s purpose in writing. At the beginning and end of both books, Gentiles are included in God’s “salvation” (Luke 2:30-32 24:47 Acts 1:8 28:28). ![]() After the birth of Jesus, Simeon makes an explicit reference to Gentiles (Luke 2:32). There is general agreement, however, that one of the purposes of Luke is to show that the gospel goes out to Gentiles. Many students and scholars have proposed different purposes for Luke’s two-volume work. When talking about the purpose of the Gospel of Luke, we must remember that Luke also wrote the Book of Acts and that the two books go together. Another military man plays a significant role in telling the reader the purpose of Luke’s Gospel. What did the centurion mean by claiming that Christ was “righteous”? How did this confession relate to the purpose of Luke’s Gospel? It is important to recognize that the centurion was a military man. This article will address the centurion’s confession as recorded in Luke’s Gospel. The centurion spent hours at the cross, and without a doubt he said many things, many of which are not even recorded in the Scriptures. The centurion said both things about Christ. ![]() While some maintain that Luke changed the centurion’s confession to make a theological point, there is no need to come to that conclusion. Both Matthew and Mark say that the centurion proclaimed that Jesus was “the Son of God” (Matt 27:54 Mark 15:39). ” t And the servant was healed at that very moment.In the Gospel of Luke, Luke tells us that when the centurion at the cross of Christ saw Jesus die, “he glorified God, saying, ‘Certainly this was a righteous man’” (Luke 23:47, NKJV). ” 13 And to the centurion Jesus said, “ Go let it be done for you s as you have believed. ![]() In that place r there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 11 I tell you, o many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12 p while the sons of the kingdom q will be thrown into the outer darkness. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, 3 ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 10 When Jesus heard this, m he marveled and said to those who followed him, “ Truly, I tell you, with n no one in Israel 4 have I found such faith. 9 For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. ” 8 But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but l only say the word, and my servant will be healed. 5 k When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him, 6 “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” 7 And he said to him, “ I will come and heal him. ![]() These days, a phishing attack may arrive via almost any digital channel you can think of. The hackers had no choice but to move on, so they cast an even wider net. In time, almost everyone received a phishing email or at least knew how to identify one. Not long after that, unsuspecting internet users began receiving dodgy phishing emails en masse. At that time, hackers were using phishing attacks to steal America Online passwords and log into users’ accounts without their knowledge. How phishing has evolvedĪccording to Computerworld, the term ‘phishing’ was coined back in 1996. And as the technology we use have evolved, hackers have quickly adapted their attacks to keep up with the times. The message looks authentic and no one wants to disappoint the boss, so the employee feels pressure to immediately grant the request.Ĭyber criminals also pay close attention to trends like the rise in remote work, knowing full well that as the boundaries between our work and personal lives become increasingly blurred, we may be less vigilant in screening the communications we receive. CEO fraud and business email compromise (BEC) scams typically involve a cyber criminal posing as the company’s CEO or chief financial officer, demanding via email that an employee further down the organizational chart quickly provide them with sensitive financial account information. If you accept the request without making sure it’s legitimate, you could end up inadvertently inviting a fraudster into your digital life. For example, it’s not uncommon to get a Facebook friend request from someone you’re already friends with there. Hackers also use our trust in people we know to deceive us in phishing attacks. Hackers use these scare tactics to create a false sense of urgency in the hope that we’ll take action before thinking too carefully about what’s actually going on. Phishing messages often try to alarm us, for example by warning us that we’re in trouble with the IRS or claiming that we’ve sent naughty pictures to someone on the internet and have been found out. Phishing works because it triggers an instinctive and powerful human psychological response. Why people keep falling for phishing scams What’s going on here? Why is phishing still so ubiquitous after all these years, and what can we do to protect ourselves? Here’s why phishing remains such a potent form of attack, why we keep falling for it, and how to prevent yourself from getting hooked. That’s the worst quarter we’ve ever seen when it comes to phishing. According to the Anti-Phishing Working Group’s Phishing Activity Trends Report, APWG observed 1,025,968 total phishing attacks in the first quarter of 2022. ![]() You’d think it would have given way to another form of attack by now, but it has only become more commonplace. Phishing has been around for over 25 years. ![]() ![]() Remove the selected contact from the Contacts list (non-distribution-group members only).
